I’m an average guy, with an average knowledge base. Basically, I’m just like you. I’m not an expert, but I give a good representation of what an average person can expect when doing a project. If I can do it, you can do it. My videos are DIY projects and occasionally I do non biased, honest product reviews. In the paraphrased words of Abraham Lincoln, “I’m not gonna lie to ya!”

    I recommend that you do not remove the radiator cap before you begin to drain. This way, it will drain much slower until you are sure you have yourself out of the way of spilling liquid and the drain pan in place. Then, remove the radiator cap. Use this method on any vehicle. You’re welcome! lol

    Did this job yesterday on a '03 Ram 1500 2WD Automatic. Everything shown in this video was dead-on. I even decided to use the 5/8" socket rather than a 16mm as it was a tighter fit to the mounting bolts. I used a universal joint with the socket/ratchet, but I really didn't need to. I was able to use my 1/2" torque wrench to torque the mounting bolts to 50 ft-lb (as specified in the service manual) without using an extension for either bolt. The toughest thing for me was getting the electrical connector fully seated on the new starter (AutoZone Duralast) as the connector didn't want to insert far enough to "latch" the retaining clip. I eventually got it to hold.

    If that was the problem, your brake lights would stay on all the time, even when car shut off, resulting in dead battery if you don't spot it.

    It might sound crazy but I used Easy Off oven cleaner to remove the leftover glue. Spray it on.. Wait about 90-120 seconds and start scraping using a plastic scraper. Have the garden hose rinsing as you scrap to dilute the oven cleaner. Glue came off like butter with no damage..

    So I took my 2009 Honda Odyssey with 1888k miles to the dealership for an oil change and they recommended a Transmission flush. I was advised by 2-3 other mechanics that said flushing the transmission is a bad idea, because of the year and mileage on the vehicle to just keep topping it up with fluid. Is this true or should I just go with what the Honda dealership people said?

    i really dont understand how you explain the removal and reinstall so easy , so far i have taken out the glove box,under panels part of my center console (2000 honda accord coupe 2 dr. 2.3L) just to try and see where it all goes , ive only been able to remove the 3 screws and no further. i cant see deep enough under the dash area to unhook the metal rod on the old one to be able to attach tghe new acuator rod. this is rediculous. any advise please!

    I can assure you, it wasn’t easy for me either. I had to do some by feel. Once I got it out it was easier to understand how it works because you can then see more with the actuator out.
