I've received a lot of helpful information from various KZread videos over the years. It started to become my "go to" website when researching a fix or improvement for an upcoming DIY project. Many of these videos have saved me both time and money! Then I thought that I might be in a position to help others in the same manner so I started PIFDIY (Pay It Forward DIY). Kind of like a karma thing... The idea is that if we all share our knowledge, we'll all benefit. So, I hope you get something out of my videos and if you're in a position to share helpful information, I encourage you to participate.

Hello PIF DIY, I want your advise, should I buy this giraffe tool pressure washer hose reel or should I buy a normal pressure washer hose reel?
WB, this is a tough one. If you don't tinker or don't have patience for a possible failure/replacement, maybe look elsewhere. Actually GT has an all in one pressure washer with hose that gets good reviews, so maybe look at that. I find it hard not to recommend them, despite my failures. It's refreshing to find a company that gives you the support that I've received from GT and I'm honestly not unhappy with my purchase. The company has been extremely responsive and easy to deal with. They seem like a company that strives to fix/improve shortcomings in their products. They acknowledged the inferior hose on the first one and revised the product with a different hose. I would guess that the company will continue to work on any other issues until everything is ironed out.
it is 2024.. i am just about to upgrade my am3+ to am4... hahaha
It's time brother!
I have to do this, and also figure out why I turn my lights on the 2005 Yukon, and it's in Park, my RV brakes turn on also.
Thank you so much for this video. Spot on perfection, I was able to fix my sons AC on his 2006 Mazda3 for $120. The mechanic wanted $1700. 😂😂😂
Awesome, good job!
Looks like Microsoft finally got the hardware extraction layer (HAL) to work
I appreciate you taking the time to do this. I followed your steps and replaced my worn-out shifter with a unit for a 997, too. Totally worth it - the feel is MUCH better. Thank you!!!
Amazing video! thank you for this toturial, exactly what I have been looking for.
Around 11:10, did you hit N or Y?
Hit Y to reset
Great video and helpful...even for a 997.2. Most curious about how you like your MaxJax? I have been looking at them for a while as I only have 9' ceilings.
The MaxJax is great. Next best thing to a full size lift if you have to work under the vehicle. If you do get one, you have to get a reclining creeper. The position in the creeper is excellent for the height of the lift. You can work comfortably and with full range of motion. Without one, it would be awkward to work at that height imo.
Thanks for the share. My brand new truck's connector isn't connected On a truck, lol. This saved me some trying to validate this with other means.
Excellent
Wow! Thank you so much! I will try this on my Mazda! It seems to be the same problem! From a Frenchman from Québec!
Good luck!
Okay, I finally jumped in and began testing. I had been manually defrosting for many years, once every few months, more in summer. Tip #1, no need to take apart freezer compartment stuff if it’s the defrost timer in the upstairs area! Thank you for showing me how I could spin it manually, without even taking it out, because I did so and heard the click, then I touched the heater element and burnt my finger! Ouch! But that tells me that the defroster terminator (aka temperature sensor, which is so hard to get to) is functional, as is the heater element itself. So, now I can purchase a new defrost timer. And see how it functions after that! Hopefully that’s it. Thanks again so much for the great video!!!
Thanks! Yup, sounds like you might have lucked out with a bad defrost timer. Much quicker repair!
What wires did you splice and connect the rca cables too?
If you look at the wiring diagram, you can see that there are wires listed under "Inputs from HU". These are the speaker inputs from the head unit to the original bose amp. You want to use these connections to go to your new amp. So, for front left, you'd use dark green (-) and dark blue (+). For front right you'd use white (-) and red (+).
excellent video ..thanks for sharing ..very helpful
If the radiator fan is not working would it stop the compressor from turning on?
Any wobbling? Is the knob held in place only by the set screw in it?
No wobbling, knob is very secure. I had the same concern but it turns out that the set screw is all that's needed.
Thank you for your video I'm working on a 2006 Mazda 5 same engine same setup. Used my Power Probe to provide 12 volts to my coil and it did not engage. Now I just got to grab a multimeter and test for resistance. Probably going to be doing the exact same repair you did.
I can't see my boot drive in boot options :/
My AC clutch just took a shit today. And I was just about to bring it in to have the transmission rebuilt. Now I might just junk it

Thanks for this video! I am currently shopping this knob for a 2018 Audi A4 (B9) Manual. Your video was very informational. Wondering: Did you keep the GT one, or the sport one long term?
Yes, I still am using the GT knob. I may go back and try the sport, but honestly I really like the feel now with no desire to improve. With that said, your Audi won't have the same linkage as my car and the additional weight of the GT might not be needed. Maybe you can find some forum users that have opinions? Good luck!
I went for it and....after hours it's all running smooth. However, one *HUGE* word of warning. I use my PC for music production, and it therefore has iLOK licenses. You absolutely *MUST* deactivate them all before doing this. Mine are now entirely screwed, and I have had to request deactivation from iLOK. There is no guarantee that they can fix it and it could take a long time if they do. Probably £300 worth of VST licences now useless 😢 You *MUST* deactivate all licenses first. I learned the *VERY* hard way. Uninstalling iLOK before doing this is not enough.
Good job
Did you have no issues with Windows Activation at all, and is it still fine two years later? 🧡
After one of the upgrades, Windows didn't activate. I had to step through the automated process and explain that I had changed hardware. I wasn't challenged and the activation went through without a problem.
@@PIFDIY excellent, thanks 🧡
Installed Mr 12Volt on 997.2 Cab. Rather than remove the Bumper Cover drilled the whole in the cover for a tight fit for the threaded rod on the Camera (used the same Camera from Amazon) and used 2 way tape to mount it to the bumper cover. Same 3m tape they use for applying mouldings so it is attached solidly . Rather than trying to pull those large couplings through small holes I just cut the cable and rejoined when I got them to where they had to go. I found a grommet in the engine compartment that went into the convertible top space and pulled the wire through there. Other than that I routed them much the same way. All in all not that difficult to do just have to take your time.
I have gigabyte b250m gaming 3 and intel i5 6500 and im upgrading to aprus b550m elite and ryzen 5 5600x rn i dont have a activation key and i have that watermark but before i swap out everything im gonna buy a key.. is there going to be any problem when i swap like files/data lost? Im not changing my ssd tho..
Backup everything and then give it a try. Most people have had no problem upgrading their motherboard and cpu without reinstalling Windows.
Thanks VERY MUCH! I saw the first video and this one, and, in short, was also successful! I had several other issues after the MB change before completing my Win11 upgrade, but it has been successful. These videos really helped begin the process. Thanks!
Hm. Didn't work on two subsequent computers. One difference these two had over the one that did work was that they had SSDs (because of format type?). Anyway, I'm done, and glad it's over with. Thx again.
Love the detailed demo. Question for you. If you installed this today, would you buy a different headunit?
Hi, no, very happy with my Mr. 12Volt apple carplay upgrade! Preserves the factory look and performs great. Very FAST wireless carplay connection that never disconnects unexpectedly. The sound quality is very good and allows for lots of adjustment. The only negative is phone quality at higher speeds. The ambient cabin noise seems to overwhelm the mic and makes it difficult to have a phone conversation. This was the case with the OEM bluetooth connection as well, so I really don't feel that I lost any usability.
Can you list all the special tools you used. to make this happen?
I upgraded from am4 to am5 and my pc boots and says i have 2 drives, but neither are Bootable im not sure whats going on?
Logitech 4.1 THX speakers! Those are fantastic. I have mine and sadly I don’t use it anymore. The volume knob crackles so loud. I used the spray cleaner and a few weeks crackling again.
Good eye! Yup, still surprises me how good they sound so many years later! I also have the volume knob issue, but if you don't use it, no crackles lol. I just have the Logitech's volume set high and use the Windows system volume to change volume. Easy to do with the volume adjustment knob built into my Corsair keyboard. You really need to hook them back up!
I’m looking to install on a 2024 telluride- watching this from my cell. Hard to find the part #s but maybe easier on the big screen- thank. I didn’t know that had an oem panel replacement , great video
I upgraded asus to msi and ram. Didnt have to reinstall windows 11. Just had to repurchase pro and removed all asus files. No issues whatsoever.
I can't get mine to boot at all. I'm so frustrated. I have always taken my drive with me and never needed to do anything crazy since 2015. I have even cloned my drive and can't get it to boot. Any advice. I'm going from AM4 to AM5. Old NVME works fine on current computer.
Can you get into BIOS? Does BIOS see the boot drive?
I have the same issue. mine boots straight to bios says my drive is there but not Bootable
@@PIFDIY Yes. Had to rebuilt my EFI
@@NovaDoll Could be something wrong with the drive's MBR. If you can boot into Window's recovery, you should be able to repair it. Might have to Google this for information on how to fix MBR.
@@PIFDIY I had to rebuild the UFI. Works perfectly now. Thank you!!
Thanks for the video, you made my install easy!
Great to hear! Thanks!
Did you end up changing the springs, or ditching these entirely?
I see your follow up video now!
Super underrated video! Thanks for sharing, I'll be ordering mine soon with the GT weight!
Hi can you post the link we’re to purchase
I bought directly from RaceDeck at racedeck.com
Excellent video! Thank you so much. I needed to know how to test from the socket because the Toyota engineers never tried used the tool they provide (which is located in the engine fuse box) to take out a fuse. Impossible! Mine is a 4runner.
There is a special place in heaven for people like you
A good method for motherboard switch, is to go into safe mode, uninstall and delete all drivers related to motherboard. boot into safe mode after motherboard switch to install new mobo drivers. should work. I have upgraded my windows 3 times and from intel to amd.
Thanks. I agree, if it's crucial that you have a success, using Safe mode to prevent Windows from loading drivers would reduce risk of conflicts with the new install. Still though, there is a lot of empirical evidence that it's not necessary.
Very informative video. I was not expecting to learn all of that. Make more videos man.
Thanks!
*Update after 1 year* I did run into an issue that would happen randomly. Time would freeze, mouse could move but couldn’t open programs or reset from windows; had to physically reset from tower. Would only happen on a dormant desktop, but rare instance recently happened while playing Dragon’s Dogma 2. Suspect that system is conflicting between old Intel files and new AMD files. Reinstalled Windows 11, system seems stable for now. Even better frames in games tbh as well.
Ok thanks. Hard to say whether it was related to the upgrade though after an entire year. Any software installation over that year would be a more likely cause of conflicts or issues. Hard to say...
@@PIFDIY I’ve had the problem since the upgrades day 1 and dealt with it for an entire year before repairing.
@@eHebert702 Gotcha
Ive changed oil thousands of times on dozens of different Taiwanese and Chinese brands. Im a dealer. I find it infuriating and thoughtless the way that Vespas are designed. They KNOW that oil changes are the most common service that needs to be done, and designed the scooter to be harder to change the oil than literally every other scooter in the world. And why are they put together with Torx bolts?! Makes no sense whatsoever
the whole point of a Center Stand, instead of a regular kick stand, is to be able to service the bike.... so why do they have a center stand that gets in the way of servicing the bike??? And don't get me started on the insane colorways and special editions that Vespa does. It's AWFUL and shows that corporate is asleep with morons in charge.
Thanks for sharing God speed 🙏
Great video, explained things well. Will be a big help in removing my M&S intercom system, from 1995. In the way when we do the kitchen remodel Wish I could easily save wiring for just a stereo system but think that is way over my head. System still works perfectly. Thanks very, very much.
I disconnected two kitchen speakers from the intercom system. I brought the wiring from the original intercom location, to the other side of the wall (laundry room) where I mounted a Sonos Amp. Then I replaced the crappy intercom speakers with Polk 8" ceiling speakers. Now we have great sound in the kitchen with the convenience of streaming from our phones/mobile devices. You might be able to do the same if you remove your intercom.
@@PIFDIY Thanks for your reply. Will look into it.
