Im from missouri .SHOW ME 2001 PT CRUSER NO BLEEDERS FROM MASTER TILL SLAVE WITH SOME FUNKY SAUCER IN MIDDLE
Still ain t a 2001 p T cruser ONLY LIK÷ IVE P]LUGGED IN ALL DAY
So how do i clean my alt? I still dont know. 🫤
Hi - Thanks for watching! I can only suggest that you check a service/repair manual for your vehicle for the proper and safest method for removing the oil from your alternator. Using the wrong chemicals could damage internal components. You may also want to contact the manufacturer of the alternators in this video for recommendations. Their contact information is in this video’s description.
This video just saved the day for me. Thank you!
Hi - You’re welcome, and thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
Looks like an advertisement for the drip guard
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
Do i need to disconect the battedy
Hi - Thanks for watching! This video was created quite a while ago, but I do not think we had to disconnect the battery to repair the connector problem. I do suggest that you check with a service/repair manual for your vehicle to be sure.
👏👏👏 from England.
Hi - Thanks for watching!
Need a different way not taking apart my entire brake system to get to master cylinder
Hi - Thanks for watching! You may want to check out Precision Clutch as they have a vast library of vehicle specific video’s and information that might help. Their contact information is in this video’s description.
Wasn't relevant to what I was needing, but stuck around because it was still interesting.
Hi - Thanks for watching anyway!
Awesome video the best l ever seen. You expanded everything where anybody can understand it, and you showed all the components that works properly with a properly bleed clutch. Even gear lever. Showed how to exactly do everything clearly. Yall were like professional teachers teaching a class to students . Super grateful it helped so many people that didn't know what to do after trying everything. Thank you, thank you.
Hi - Thanks for watching!
That's wild
Hi - Thanks for watching!
How do I get one?
Hi - Thanks for watching! The alternators with this shield are (or were at the time of the recording) sold at Advance Auto Parts.
Thank you for the info about the jumper connection. Very useful knowledge that isn't generally taught
Hi - You’re welcome andThanks for watching!
Hoping 3rd times a charm!
Hi - Thanks for watching!
@@WrenchinUpwithJimBates tried it 4 times now.....any other pointers?
Hi - Being retired, I probably have a “rusty thumb” ( if there is such a thing ) so I recommend that you check with Precision Clutch because they have an extensive library of vehicle specific video’s and information that may help. Their contact information is in this video’s description.
Fantastic explanation... all the details, filling in the blanks other videos gloss over, and a very clear demonstration too. One thing I noticed that wasn't mentioned specifically was the pressure gauge bouncing during the aeration, which further confirms for me the behavior I'm troubleshooting on my equipment which is 'juddery' for lack of a better term.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
RG letourneau would be really excited if he was here to reintroduce his electric wheel
Hi - Thanks for watching!
The vehicle in question is a 2001 Jetta. It has a quick connect at the in-tank fuel pump, located under the passenger side rear seat. When I simulate your test, I've got good ground, but zero(0) voltage at the connector with the key in the on position. In your opinion, what possibly might be at fault?
Hi - Thanks for watching! With the key in the RUN position, use a wiring diagram and look for battery voltage for each connection starting from the pump back to the battery. When you get voltage, repair the circuit between that point and the last place where you did not get a voltage reading.
The second he said “lets show you how air gets in” I said NOOOOO I JUST WANNA KNOW HOW TO GET IT OUT
Hi - Thanks for watching! However, as I always say - If you know how something works, you can fix it. If not, you’re only throwing time and money at the problem until you get lucky.
Any for e90????
Hi Thanks for watching! I suggest that you check with the manufacturer. Their contact information is in the video’s description.
I bought the Hulkman jumper and it failed to start car...even in GOD mode...nothing. Had a friend call AAA and they used a big hand held blue jumper and my car started right up. Why don't those little lithium battery packs work?
Hi Thanks for watching! I live in the north woods. My experience is that they never work here in the winter. Just not the right tool.
Thank you sir
Hi, You’re welcome and thanks for watching!
my dodge ram is more than 0.04 in the view on 1:31 and 1:41 , your voltmeter is not in the same position as when it is seen at 1:42. Then you obviously switch 1:54 to check power, and the voltmeter doesn't change from when seen at 1:42.
Hi - Thanks for watching! We have had a similar question about this before and we probably could have done a better job of explaining the meter use. But basically, different meters may have different ranges, so be sure to set the meter in the range that covers the value you are testing for. The meter's user manual will probably help if you need more detailed information for using your particular meter.
Im assuming EV Shops can do this for me locally?
Hi, Thanks for watching! I can only recommend that you contact them to find out. From what I understand, this device was originally designed for dealerships, although they are available to independent shops as well.
@@WrenchinUpwithJimBates Though probably not as good.
Ok no I'm
Hi, Thanks for watching!
My has seized up. Spins true . Can it be freed up with some oil??
Hi, Thanks for watching! I don’t know as I have not tried that.
Great explanation.... do EXACTALLY what the equipment maker tells to do....
Hi, Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
If not bled right will always have a grind i cant really get into gear, but not really a sponge feel nor a grind just an inconsistent of getting it into gear smoothly
Hi - Thanks for watching! Being retired now, I no longer have access to up to date reliable information to help with long distance diagnostics. For that reason, I would like to suggest that you contact Precision Clutch, as they have a vast library of vehicle specific video’s and information can help you with your project. Their contact information is in this video’s description.
I've never felt so eager to want to comment on a video. This was probably the best how to video on cars I've seen as to a complete understanding of the what how and why. I've watched many of videos for wrenching advice and this one actually made me feel educated.
Hi- Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
Over heated in the trunk? I can’t store my O’Reilly’s Super Start in the trunk of my Miata b/c if my battery is dead, the key fob will not open the trunk! Any solutions? Thanks!
Hi - Thanks for watching! Does the owner’s manual have a solution to this problem?
There is no extra science needed here, while bench bleeding is nice, all you have to do is a traditional bleed like brakes if your bearing has a bleeder line. pump, hold, open bleeder and repeat. I just did my Hydramax on my Duster and any other step is not needed
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
Great video
Hi - Thanks for watching!
Question. When you remove the clutch pressure line at the Slave Cylinder is the connection a quick sealed connection so air does not enter the line? My guess it is like an air hose coupler fitting. I also think you should use the Phoenix brake and clutch tool to remove any trapped air bubbles by inserting the tapered fitting into the bottom of the Master fluid Orifice to force new clean fluid down into the slave cylinder and open up the bleeder screw to allow any air to escape befor tightening it up again.
Hi - Thanks for watching! Great question - so great that I must recommend that you reach out to Precision Clutch, because they have a vast library of vehicle specific videos and information. Their contact information is in this videos description.
Not really step by step info of the gadget. Or the setting up procedure for a complete novice
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion. Aside from turning it on, I found that it really was that simple.
What gadget was that. Why does NRMA not use it to adapt a Japanese car to Korean battery
Hi - Thanks for watching! It was an AUTEL Maxidiag MD808.
just weld the 2 halves of the old pulley together. No need to remove it first. Worked for me.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
If I install a new Master Cylinder Your not supposed to insert the clutch pedal push rod until the entire system has been reinstalled. It is the last thing you reinstall and it locks into place in the master cylinder.If i were to use this method of bleeding the air from a new master then do i need a special tool to releae the push rod after bleeding process and reinsert again as the last item you connect?
Hi - Thanks for watching! Great question, but I must suggest that you reach out to Precision Clutch for the proper guidance, because they have a vast library of vehicle specific procedures that can help here. Their contact information is in this video’s description.

What if you put in a new Optima yellow top and it goes down to zero voltage in less than a week? When I take it out and get it recharged at the autoparts store with everything off i get a big spsrk when hooking up the negative lead and the car wont start. If I disconect the neg lead and jump the car on front jump terminals I can drive it like normal. Is there something wrong with the Optima ? Parts store meter says its fine after a 1 hour charge.
Hi - Thanks for watching! Long distance diagnostics is difficult at best, but I do recommend that you check the positive battery cable circuit for a short that could cause the conditions you are experiencing. A wiring diagram in a service manual will probably be needed.
Will this help if my hood latch won't lock? Or is this just a fix for when it won't open?
Hi - Thanks for watching! The procedure in this video is for a hood that will not unlock because of a broken cable. When the hood will not lock down, the usual problem is a sized up hood latch. A liberal amount of a penetrating oil (I like PB Blaster) will usually free up the mechanism.
*6 YEARS LATER:* It's like we live in the Matrix, 99% of all these companies, inventions and ideas never happen. Where is everything? Every day, of every week, of every month for 15 years we've been hearing about all this stuff so where is it?
Hi - Thanks for watching! I read in the trades somewhere that the company was purchased by one of the OEMs (I forgot who and can’t find the article again), so maybe we’ll finally get to see this one someday?
@@WrenchinUpwithJimBates Probably because they shut it down, the entire idea is companies buy organizations that differ or compete with them, then shutter them on purpose.
Hi, I’m looking for an owners or operating manual on the ProlongPro Module Tester please 🙏 can someone help me on this?
Hi - Thanks for watching! If you haven’t reached out to the manufacturer, their contact information is in the video’s description.
You didn't test the pump in situ to tell you if the pump was good or bad before removing it regardless of the supply wires you tested

OkOkOk I'm going to attempt this on my 1991 Chevrolet truck now best video I found TY
Hi - Thanks for watching! If you would like to share, let us know how it worked out for you.
My 1999 Toyota celica doesn’t get power to the pump until the key is cranked, all the fuses and relays are good
Hi - Thanks for watching! Be sure to check with a service/repair manual for the vehicle to determine if what you have described is a normal condition for the vehicle or not. If not, follow the diagnostic tree in the manual for determine the cause of any problem you are having!
@@WrenchinUpwithJimBates hey, the repair manual doesn’t say anything about it, I’m just more concerned on why my cars fuel pump doesn’t work when it’s turned to the on position but does when it’s cranked this leads to the car not starting since there is no pressure in the fuel lines, so far I’ve unplugged the fuel pump connector and used an automotive test light and the fuel pump only lights up when the car is cranked which isn’t normal
Hi - Since you mentioned that you checked all of the fuses and relays, I think the next step is to refer to the wiring diagram in your service manual for the circuit between the ignition switch and thee fuel pump relay to determine why the fuel pump doesn’t run to pressurize the system in the key on position.
Hi! 1997 Acura TL 3.2. I can't find the cable. Amazon, Rock Auto, Ebay, Parts Geeks, none had my cable. Any suggestions as to where I can find my cable! Thanks for this video btw!
Hi - Thanks for watching! You could try the local dealership parts department. If they can’t help, you might just have to try to replace the cable with a universal cable kit that should be available at auto parts stores.
Caterpillar, Volvo and UPS adopted this tool and gave it their own part number. I’ve used it for 10+ years now. This tool works.
