Top and bottom? Install for my 2018 shows just bottom so I've never bothered or paid attention that one could fit up top as well. On the side though for the guide pins, rather than the circle locking method keep pin there, there is a long rod going from top to bottom pin that prevents rattle making the items installed here obsolete or just an extra shield against rattle Just did mine tho and getting a pop noise so Im jacking it back up in a sec
You are a life saver
Helps out. Thank you.
Thanks
hi can i use this to recharge a dead battery?
If your battery voltage is less than 3 volts the low amp Battery Tender (Brand) charger will not turn on. It does that to protect itself. Other brands may work and start charging regardless of your Battery state. Best to download the manual for the charger you are using to know for sure. They all act differently.
I put each piston at TDC and used berryman b12 and wooden dowels to scrube the tough spots for pistons still in the block. Then when 99% done a wrag to final wipe with some brake clean to remove residue
Don't get any more TATTOOS (Barbarian skin graffiti, tramp stamps, idiot badges)
Super straightforward man. Appreciate it 👌🏻
What shocks are those and how are they holding up?
Man it’s a lot more difficult on the 4wd, did one yesterday the axle is all in the way. Think the passenger side seemed little harder than the drivers side on the 4wd
what is their work in engine block , pressure releaseinside block.
Color is the worse indicator for an oil change. It is about TBN, pH, metals... Just change the oil every 5-7K.
Great video man

Get them replaced before that rain/snow hits hard this season!
It's always the small things that cause the biggest headache. I cannot stand the tiny squeaks and rattles either
Those drive me insane! I feel you on this one. My truck is driving so smooth now.
Noise grimlin no more! 👏
Thank you for your continued support it really motivates me to keep going!
This is so helpful! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks so very much to you and to everyone's suggestions...GREAT HELP!!
Also a word of warning. . . Batteries will self discharge if they sit on cold concrete or steel so put some cardboard or something similar under them wether they are in the car or on the shed floor!
Helpful tips for the winter season! Other than batteries, are there other components to pay extra special attention this winter?
Great point!, tire flat spots from not moving the vehicle can hapoen! Damage to your paint or top on convertibles can be protected with a good car cover or garage.
Hmm well butter my gravy there it is
Oh my god dude! The job of the oil is to clean the motor. It gets dirty right after the oil change. Forget this video and change your oil somewhere between 3000 and 5000 miles. Always change it at least once a year. Never let it get more than one quart low. Those are the basics.
It usually stays clear or an amber color for some time. Color is a good indication it is saturated with contaminants and time for a flush. It also good to check all fluid levels.
Of all the variations of these cars i think i like the white with red rt tt the best. Nice video
Easy peasy 💪😎
lemon Squeezy, You already know!
You can just buy refills if the wiper is still in good condition
You should compress the spring close to coil bind and then take a measurement but do it your way and not the pros way!
I am using Mitsubishi service field guide from the manufacturer. The world needs more positivity, love and less trolls
@@DracoDoesIt ok this is what I mean and this covers coil internal combustion engine valve springs made from metal. Your spring pressure will be or take the chance of inaccurate pressure readings if you don't fatigue the spring first or less accurate reading a lot less. In a performance application it's mandatory but not for a factory rebuild but you will come out with a better quality rebuild per every spring manufacturer that actually makes the spring. I'm surprised that service manual doesn't mention the fatigue step could be a typo.
So many intricate components to an engine! 😱
It can get pretty tricky but with KZread and helpful channels like mine, WE can do ANYTHING!
Work on camera focus for close ups, its important on videos like this, use manual focus for close ups. JMO. Larry
Thanks for the feedback!
Huh one season
Lendcussr
Bravo 👏 again!!!
I😊 love you that video i'm looking for... Thank you 😊
I've never even seen a tool like that before! The more you know 😎
thanks for the video!...but one thing missed.....you should have had a JACKSTAND UNDERNEATH THE CHASSIS!!!!!.....if that was to fall off that jack....dont even wanna think about it.....had it happen to a friend....just watching out for you buddy!!!
Appreciate your concern I didn't show it in the video but I had 2 Heavy Duty jack stands underneath the main frame of the chassis! I NEVER take chances!
Glad you pointed that out as I was going to make the same observation. I had a friend do an oil change with just a jack. The jack let go and crushed him. Good man gone too soon. And his wife and kids devastated..
Keep making and posting these videos! 😎
I suggest to torque the bolt of the lower bushing when the car is on the ground. When you torque it when the wheel is in the air it will cause the bushing to flex when you drop the car and shorten it's life.
Thank you
You're welcome
outstanding!!
How have I been doing this wrong for so long 😭 our cars will definitely benefit and last longer the more intuned and mindful we are with them !😎
Never, never, never never, never never, never never, never never, never never, never never, never (oh, did I mention NEVER) lift the wiper arm up without firstly protecting a VERY expensive windshield from a drop of the heavy metal wiper arm). Use a towel or piece of sizable cardboard sheet against the windshield, testing it with the area against the glas, but not letting it snap back.
Great tip!
Murphy's law. If it can, it will happen.
Love how real and to the point you are! No BS or fluff 😏
Great tip! Where did you buy the cover?
Amazon!
Like watching a dentist extract teeth 😆 thanks for sharing these videos!
Exactly the same! 😂
I'm motivated to change my own wipers! I'm embarrassed to say I've never done it myself...I've always had help 😳 thanks for the tips!
You can do it!
I saw one guy long ago close his hood this way and it just seemed like the right way to close it for me so I have been doing it this way ever since, good to see someone else agrees.
Yeah unless you have some special car or type of carbon fiber hood. this is the way
There are cars that says the opposite because they don't have stoppers and the hood is light... it is written into the car manual, which explicitly says 'Do not drop it, pull it down easily and at certain points push it gently'. Always read your manual!
I could see this applying to Carbon fiber hoods or specialty hoods
What perilous times have befallen us that men should need a youtube video tutorial on how to open and close the hood of a car 🤦🏻♂️
Back in my early 20s I had a brand new '90 Beretta GTZ, dealer did 1st oil change, got it back, immediately noticed a small indentation at the front of the hood, they had pushed it closed, wasn't too happy with the dealership. Even back then I knew to drop close it, always.
That is the damage I was exactly talking about in the video. Sorry to hear that happened!
Its a neon and vinyl wrapped. Ive been just letting my hood drop for 8 years no issues on mine
It's not wrapped. You can clearly see the overspray in the engine bay
