Thank you for this video. Since I already have Dewalt batteries I was going to upgrade my no-name Blower to Dewalt. But I need an easily removable tube. This kind of design oversight pisses me off.

Did it make a difference? Would 13inch grounding wire work?

So i have a customer with an 06 4runner v8, transfer case ran dry due to leaky actuator and then started grinding and skipping. Customer purchased new toyota transfer case and new toyota actuator. Old t case and actuator is already out of the car in one piece. How do i install the new one? Do i just bolt up the new t case and pop the new actuator on like you did? Or do i need to tear into the t case like many other people suggest?

We have the same generator and it has been reliable for over 3 years now after several power outages. Recently had propane company come out and run a separate line from our 500 gallon tank to front of house near the enclosed porch with a shutoff. Now we only need to drag the heavy thing out the door a few feet to use it as we store it inside in winter.

👍👍

Jacob, did this get fixed? I am having the same problem and pulling my hair out. I think it may be a vacuum problem but unsure. Its freezing here, did you get this issue during cold weather too?

You do not need to use the choke when starting with propane or natgas. Choking is used to work with liquid fuels that are hard to vaporize in a cold engine. It will start just fine without choke when on propane or natgas.

Does the actuator just slide onto thr two shafts?

Hi Jacob, I must congratulate you on actually testing the genset powering the actual house. Virtually all the folks on these KZbin channels do not. They will plug in an electric heater… bla, bla bla. I learned to test under real load from a telephone company Central Office Manager in California where they cut the main weekly and run the entire building from generator for an hour a week. Now, the telephone switch has a massive battery bank ‘float’ so service is not disrupted. Just 3 out of 4 lights not on the emergency circuit would pop off for 10 seconds. All the PC’s had a UPS. He said, how will you ever know it will work without live testing it under an actual full load? It sounds so obvious once it is said. Another tip was test early in the week so you have time to obtain parts or service. Anyway, for my lock out panel, I pre mark what breakers I will shut off with red dot stickers. Yellow dot breakers are optional. I purchased a super rugged gas flex that has a braided metal outer shell I will guess the O.D. As nearly 2”. It was meant to be for a patio flame installation. Best to you. Thanks for the video. Jim from Chicago

thank you 🙏 less than 10 min

brother I am very grateful for this video, it was a great help for me)

Can I follow these same steps on my 2007 toyota sequoia?

Mine starts for a few seconds then turns off?

Fantastic content 👌 👏 👍

You forgot Final Spin sign at the bottom on Futura font!

Thanks very much for sharing your exploits/frustrations with this "nightmare"! I have an '03 V8/AWD so have this exact actuator on mine ... and my CDL just started acting up and 4Lo hasn't worked for years! From watching you It seems that upon receiving the new unit it might be a good idea to mark the shafts with a magic marker when they are fully extended from actuator and again when they are fully retracted into actuator so that if/when you have to take it apart as you did you will at least know how to position the shafts to help when clocking. Also, when installing the actuator I think I would leave the bolts about a half turn loose after seated all the way to let the rods self center the first few times you actuate them, just my thoughts. Probably want to start the engine and maybe move F/R while trying CDL. Again, thanks a lot, glad you were VICTORIOUS!

Thanks for posting this. I have an '03 V8/AWD and 4Lo has never worked since I've had it (about 7 years) but CDL did until just recently. I put it on the other day and it wouldn't go , then it wouldn't turn off until I put in reverse and backed up a bit and braked hard. Haven't tried it since.

I appreciate this video so much!

Any updates available? Did you get it fixed?

Nice work! I had new instalment, same second hand glass... after installing, now the winter have comed, and unfortunately there is a moisture on the glass, and also water drops if there is a lot moisture outside and very cold mornings! We have tried to raise the glass, we cannot go over anymore. What might be the problem, is the weather rubber on the glass or something else?

Wow, I remember my first crescent wrench….

I won a police auction in Grand Rapids. When I went to pick up the truck, the guy who opened the gate somehow knew the engine was blown and seized. He said the only ones that make it to auction are probably not worth buying. I quickly realized that they jack the tow/storage fees up to unobtainable levels to deter people from buying anything at all. 90% of the auctions the reserve is not met. What a scam.

How long does that battery last, is it self recharged when generator is running?

Got the same problem maybe the câble wire is rusty or i feel that IT might be my right/front disc was bad cause i feel its waving.... But idk yet

Thanks a lot. My hood wasn't opening today and I found out from watching your video the little plastic snap broke that holds the rod to lever. I'm going to Toyota tomorrow to get it.

Great video! One of my favorites to date! So down to earth and got the damn job done!

I tried doing it through the last location you showed and I had transmission fluid constantly coming out even when I clamped the line, elevated it and put the funnel in the fluid kept rising up the funnel therefore I was unable to do it. (I was trying to add a transmission conditioner because I am experiencing a little slippage here and there at 230k miles) and the transmission fill both it seized up and is starting to strip the bolt so I am unable to get it off. 2004 4.7L V8 limited for reference

You should install another quick connect on the generator side also….

Thanks a lot for the video, it helped me diagnose a no crank situation! In my case, after numerous no cranks, it did crank when bypassing ... And somehow started as if nothing happened after reconnecting the EWS! After lots of spelunking, it turns out to work properly, the EWS need fuse 5, 6 and 24 (in the foot panel) to work properly. I don't know what the hell is going on in the electrical system for that to make sense, and I had only checked fuse 24 beforehand. After testing the two other, lo and behold, fuse 5 was blown. I have no idea since when, as there was no other symptom, though the car was in storage beforehand and apparently that fuse can blow if the battery gets very low (which is for now the most credible explanation). 🤞it was just that, I'll be carrying 5amp and 30amp fuses at all time from now on.

6:01 I have the same adapter to play music from my iPhone! 🤣

I did the fuse check bypass and won’t turn over did same what does that mean?

hi sir . i want to ask about the part numbre of this seals . i have toyota prado 2018

Was having problems with my 4wdLo being stuck. Found this video and after a hour of following this process, it unlocked! Thank you so much for uploading this. Who knows how much dealerships would have charged for this

Amazing, i have looked so much for a video like this with no luck and this just popped up out of nowhere jajaja. Im in the same boat! Bought a 4runner that turned into the biggest piece of chit i have ever purchased. Everything seems to be seizing on my truck but the rear hatch is driving me up the wall!

Hey, I am having this same issue and had no luck with your method. I tried a lot of variations after reading through comments. Any other suggestions? Thanks for the video

Wow, thank you for that. That helps a lot.

Hi, I noticed you had a Michigan plate. I live in Michigan as well as was wondering if you could help me replace mine?

This works - thank you so much!

I followed your steps and everything works except the vehicle wont shift out of 4LO. Thoughts? locking diff works perfect and it shifted from 4HI into 4LO but now it wont go back to 4HI

Great thanks, was trying to figure this since I am taking one in checked baggage since these are uber expensive in Mexico Thanks again

Well it start working again after ? Is it hard to just replace the actuator with a new one so you don’t have to do this everytime ?

All the other videos are 11 years old.

What did you do with the gear syncing at 10:03? That's a really crucial step/mod.

Were you doing all this upside down under the truck? I don't see why the actuator doesn't simply slide off....and then very carefully slide back on so everything stays in sync...ie with the vehicle in park so the rods don't move. I only need to replace the big o-ring :(

Your 2nd time explaining it was correct, the first time, not so. Was some confusion over the pressing and holding 3 times then releasing and re-pressing and 6 digits and 5 digits.Last explain was very clear on the process.

You just save me from having to wait a day for them to turn my water back on😅 I paid the bill but they said we had to wait until tomorrow for them to come out. Salute to you mann😂

Mine is only a few years old and has been used less than a dozen times. The unit died, and new batteries don't help. Life is too short, and time is too valuable to buy poorly designed and manufactured products. A small filtered-bagged vacuum with a HEPA filter is needed in this space. DeWalt is too busy making cheap me-too products. You have more patience than me.

Thanks for taking time to post this. Very good visual of what goes on inside these piece of shit trannies. Is it running ok?

If you just pushed the rod in a bit so that the gear would line up properly with where it needs to be clocked… would that have worked? Like initially, when you first put the Aisin replacement on, you said you couldn’t get the gear clocked the right way. You had to put it a little more towards 1 o’clock than you wanted to. So… if you pushed the rid in just a bit to get the worm gear to line up with the cogs on the clocked gear, would you have saved yourself a lot of trouble?
