    Sold my 2006 S a few years ago and now I'm buying another one but not an S - mine had 140K on it and ran excellent. How far will these go - 500K ?

    I've got a 04 Dodge stratus 2.4 dohc, and a couple years ago I had to put a timing belt in it. Now it's got a blowed head gasket with over 300,000 miles, but it still runs good. I was watching this hoping i wouldn't have to take the t-belt back off of it to change the head gasket. Maybe it's not worth fixing, but I would like to fix it just to see how many more miles I'll get out of it.

    Greetings. I enjoy your videos. They've helped me a lot. Thanks. Changing CV axels. I cannot insert new one because there is a rod inside the transmission between the two axels blocking them from going in all the way. How do I get the rod between the axles to move or reposition itself so I can insert the new axles?

    I have a question for you. I am working on a 2004 MC40 and the drives side window the auto drop feature is not working. I have tried the rolling the window down and then up holding the button in the up position for 10 plus seconds. However, that does nothing. Does this mean I need a new window regulator?? Best!

    You should have removed the valve cover earlier. It would have made removing some of the stuff behind the engine easier.

    So with this style of LSD featuring taper roller bearings, there is no need to verify preload/play in the differential? No shims?

    Thank you, Mod Mini, for the video and the many useful comments from your fans. I was able to get rid of the battery light on 2nd try (1st Amazon renewed alternator was a dud, but the second one, a TYC, fired right up, the light went away and the power steering came back, and confirmed that the 1st Bosch reman was a dud.) Yes, I found that working on the alternator from the top was easier; and the threaded rods are indeed M8…! Now I am better at putting the Mini in front-end service mode all thanks to you! Next project, supercharger service! I wonder if it’s possible to do it w/o disconnecting the coolant hose(s) or the a/c system…
