Just watched your video thanks..the only other thing attached to my battery is a small piece of tubing and there is a spot to hook it up on the new battery..l have a 2004 diesel Pleasureway Dodge RV with Mercedes 2500 engine
The top bolt on my alternator is stripped any recommendations because I need my car for work
Very dangerouse practice not even wearing a mask. yech.
Have a 2012 nissan quest at 84k miles, gear slips at 30-40mph. Had a fluid flush last year, was better for a few months. Now back to being bad. Any options?
How do I contact you?
Just happened to me today, is this a very common problem? I’ve only seen this video talk about it and the occasional forum talking about it
Got the same 3 lights on already change the brake switch and the #5 fuse and still the same don’t know what can be the issue
Nice shop...always enjoyed watching your videos! Also the videos where you are kinda figuring it out as you go, just your comentary and thought process is very educational. I wonder if you could file for lost wages because that dealership did not pay you? Also Good luck with the mobile mechanic stuff man. You look well equiped for anything haha
lol thanks so much for your feedback, now I will continue doing similar videos, I did not know that they are educational when I try to figure stuff out, thanks and have a great day
I have watched 2 years of your videos cheers
Wow that’s amazing! Thank you so much for that
You have some dead cells, itll drop to around 13v if one is bad, lower if more. Thats what happens when a battery gets damaged
Man, you’re a mess in all video. You talk too much and show nothing essential.
Way better than all the transits on the road haha
The EGR on a diesel work opposite then on a gas engine .on a gas engine it is off at idle , and open at speed . on a diesel open wide at idle and closes as you speed up . At speed / load you need all the oxygen to burn the fuel , if the egr is somewhat open at speed you will have black smoke due to the lack of clean air .
18/hour flat rate? What? You’re getting 1000% fisted. You’d make more as a grave digger since all you need is a shovel. Just wait until you get some training and start getting warranty shit pay jobs.
I was a Chrysler dealer tech for 13 years. It was the happiest day of my life when I quit that shit show 3 months ago. If anyone wants a dealer tech job at a CDJR dealer, if you got a pulse, you’re hired. You drive an hour to work flat rate at a Chrysler dealership? 😳 It also sounds like that chick that hired you doesn’t know her head from her ass…which is pretty much par for the course at a dealership service department.
That’s so true when I quit I never received my last paycheck. I still have not done nothing about it. I quit middle of November and never got my check for the last week worked since it’s not a big deal. I just kind of let her go for now I don’t want to make the dealership pay fines by, letting North Carolina Department of Labor know. I got a question for you. Did you ever get overtime pay because I was promised overtime I worked overtime never got overtime. Pay and I was hard as a flat rate for at least the next 3 months at 16 per hour guaranteed plus as much overtime as I want and also $18 per per labor hour, but they never really explained to me how this would work. They said it’s a hybrid model 16 per hour guaranteed or 18 an hour.
@@ZimaletaMotors There is no overtime in a flat rate dealership. Even the straight time kids on the lube rack should have by law gotten OT but they never did and never will. The hybrid system you worked was just a game the service manager set up to fuck you. Did you have anything in writing? All these places are out to screw the techs. I’d bet my house that the warranty clerk lady submitted any and all jobs you did, claimed every cent she could and they didn’t pay you any diag and bare minimum to complete the job but the service department got reimbursed. Even if you had gotten any contract in writing, it’s worth toilet paper since service managers get fired daily and there goes your contract.
thanks for video
The small sensor on the fuel rail is leaking any idea what it could be?
Gasket most likely
The CVT from what I’ve researched so far gets way hot and the oil cooler is way to small. Changing the fluid every 20 to 25k is a must.
Gotta go with oem for front struts and for shocks most of the time.
Agreed
Hi I am looking at a 2008. Sprinter. Has the same problem no head lights or tail lights. Can you tell. Me the part number. That worked here in the video. And what it’s called thanks Dave
Been there too bud. The best thing to do is get the genuine oem complete strut assembly or put the old one back on. Those cheaper ones ride bad too,because the spring is not able to the job
Yep old ones going back on, at least for the struts
Cheap Chinese crap what do you expect?
Expecting a quality at low prices $150 for a set of struts and shocks, but got what I payed for I guess
I have that one
That is the drain
I have a Mercedes sprinter 313 4x4 2004. I am loosing water ( no leaks ) I get warm air driving side, then cold on the passenger side. (( IF THIS HATER VALVE IS BROKEN!? "CAN IT CAUSE LOSS OF WATER AS ITS JUST BOILING IN THE ENGINE, AND NOT CIRCULATING". ?? PLEASE HELP.
Thanks. I was confused
YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE FLUID AND FILTER EVERY 36,000 MILES ON A CVT!
Hi, 2015 sprinter van in UK. Tail light, NOT brakes, tails lights come on for 1 second and then both go off and then come on again after a couple of minutes for 1 second and go off again. Can you help or my van won’t pass the MOT (safety inspection) and then I can’t drive it. Are you able to help?
Wait... How do you do the Voltage Regulator?
P.S. THANKS
the question was were is the thermastat located top of engine or bottom
Top
How does this work on Amazon?
Gotta remove my dpf filter to… “clean” it 😉. Wonder what is the best way to do it without removing the engine. The mounting bolt and clamp are impossible to reach.
To clean DPF you don’t need to remove the engine. It’s under your van same place catalytic converter would be
You never crank that long bleed first use a fuel tank pump fill up fuel rail crack furtherest injector then crank
Bar not blade
Thanks
You’re welcome
Literally hear nothing. Waste of time
So what was the outcome
We got it started
What's the point of this video I would delete start again
How are you doing sir I was wondering if you know where I might be able to buy an engine wiring harness for my 05 dodge sprinter 2500
Doing good, what’s your budget to buy an engine
Hey bro nice video ! do you have a video on changing the transmission fluid and also what type should I use for my Mercedes Sprinter 2.7L engine ? thanks much
Yes
Lol I work at a Penske owned truck dealer. Its not an excuse. They do a full police backround check and completely verify your backround including where you worked. its a long process. You do a 1 hour interview with the HR, GM and service manager and then have to fill out a huge application form and former employment form.
That's why it says on the side to smack the valve. It says verbatim If unit fails to prime, the inlet ball may be stuck. Tap lightly on the valve or use a probe (see graphics, right).
Yep
God help you if you bought one of these lt1045 POS. IF I can get it back together I'm selling it.
Happy baby 🥰 👼
Yep she is 4 now
Do you use a specific software program for inventory management in your warehouse?
No
this guy doesn't know what he's doing
Thanks for watching, I have not had any of my cars worked on by the dealer for 25 years sense I was 18 years old, and fixed everything myself, not bad for a guy that does not know what he is doing, bought my home and comercial property 9 years ago, payed cash, living debt free, not bad for a guy that has no idea what he is doing, in the last 9 years I built residual income that pays for all my living expenses, I can just live a free life, not bad for a guy that has no idea what he is doing, I travel all over the world and get payed for it, not bad for not knowing what I am doing, combine like this don’t bother me, I might not know what I am doing but always get the job done
This is a horrible method to resurface your rotors. You are grinding uneven amounts from the surface this way. Will it be better than it was? Possibly, but it's definitely NOT ideal. You would've at least been better off spinning the rotor somehow and holding the grinder to it. At least then it would've been much more even than your small back and forth strokes. There's usually several millimeters worth of metal you can turn down and it will still be fine, but keep in mind that a thinner rotor will generate more heat and heat is what causes the rotor to warp. I think all rotors can be turned down at least once.
Excellent work and thank for your sharing experiences 😮
wonder if you have any knowledge on this problem i have, i have a mercedes sprinter 2003 313, the battery is being drained fast, alternator is changed fine, battery is holding charge when disconnected, because of the speed of discharge, i suspect the glow plug relay is stuck in the on position, but its just a guess. dones this sound like a possibility?
I like how they make the inside look like it's outside.
