we took off the plenum when we did valve cover gaskets, but somehow my mechanic was able to replace that water hose without taking much off but a bracket/belt. unfortunately we have to go back in there and do water pump, timing belt, thermostat etc..

Very helpful Thank you so much

I just done my 2016. Wasn’t to bad.

Dust? Trace minerals!

why wouldn't you just put the system in service mode ?

A lot of these CVTs have a cartridge filter on the side and on some models the housing is held with one bolt or on mine it is held with 4. Be careful to get one with the correct gasket. One is a regular O ring and the other is some sort of metal seal ring. These are very different from one another and will not work interchangeably. Just make sure that if it is the metal one that it stay in place when the housing is put back on or it could cause a gap betweeen the transmission and that housing and your fluid will gush all over next time you start it up making a horrible mess. I imagine the regular O ring would be easier to know if it is seated properly. The bolts are 10 mm heads and I like that it seems to be such a common size on these vehicles for a lot of things. It is a little bit tricky to get to that filter but on mine it was toward the passenger side. I don't know if other models or revisions of the CVT have it on the other side. Just changing that little filter makes a difference. It is for the fluid cooler or warmer (depends on what you like to call it).

You'll be surprised at how many times you'll need an 18mm end wrench and/or an 18mm socket. Those are not commonly supplied in the sets, I had to purchase mine separately! I thought I wouldn't use them very often,,, WRONG!! I also have a 2015 Dodge so I had to go and buy an extra 18mm wrench, a 3/8 dr socket, and a 1/2 dr socket! Those adjustable wrenches tend to slip and round your fittings, I don't even have one in my toolbox!! Always use the right tool for the job!!

That’s not the proper procedure.

I have a similar sound but doesn't seem to be coming from where the tensioner is at. It's mild and intermittent with AC on and Off I think it might be the belt. What do u think?

great video! I forgot the choke too. lol

You could have shown us EXACTLY how you took off the stick, why TELL us AFTER you did it. Very poor demonstration

I have a HYPER TOUGH rechargable flashlight without a removeable battery that shows red and flashes green like once a second when charging. The battery has wires attached at both ends that connect to a small circuit board that has the charging port. It registers less than 0.01 volts on my meter. 1) Is it safe to try what you do with the wires attached to the battery? 2) If so, how many seconds should I keep the wires from the 3 C batteries attached to battery in the flashlight to get it's voltage up before I plug the power cord into the charging port? Many, many thanks!!!

so you scanned it and got a po420 code and without any further diag. your just gonna throw parts at her, really? sorry but I think I will take my Toyota somewhere else. people like you should stay off you tube playing mechanic.

How did you do this yourself when you had help to lift the bed, i thought yiu did it yourself. Can one person do it?

Overall a pretty good video. But youve got a couple things confused here. The caster and camber are both adjusted by both the upper control arm bolts. Adjusting both bolts in by the same ammount will lower the camber angle and keep the caster the same. Adjusting only the front bolt in will lower the caster angle, and adjusting only the rear bolt in will increase the caster. The second thing is you have toe-in vs toe-out flipped. Toe-in is when the front of the tires are closer together and toe-out is when the front of the tires are further apart. On a DIY alignment, you want to shoot for about 1/8" Toe-in.

But you didn’t say how to adjust it if needed?

Was i the only one screaming to at least pop off the distributor cap and mark the rotor position? Oh well. I like the color blue of yours and the 5sp. Great video. CHEERS!

I used the 6v, 6amp positive and negative sides of my auto battery charger for the battery boost. Worked great! (My flashlight would not do anything before I did that.) Thanks for your idea!! 🫡

That's the pcm relay though.

Thanks for taking time to share your video and process. I'm following your instructions because they are very clear for me because I do not have special tools, I'm also taking other advices that I read on internet mainly about set EBS into maintenance mode before of changing the brake pads. I also read on internet an advice to remove the liquid brake cap before of doing that.

Bullshit this doesn't work.

Were you having start up issues initially? Can't get our 2004 to turn over. Changed the fuel pump and the fuel filter but still not turning over.

Question for you - were you having start up issues? Trying to figure out what's next since I'm not getting it to turn over. Changed the fuel pump and fuel filter. Still sounding like its out of gas (got at least 1/2 tank).

You can buy gauges for $30 on Amazon and pump for $60

Buna o-rings are fine and cost pennies

Can you pull the thermostat out of the old housing and just replace that?

How much does this service typically cost at a shop?

Great video. Looks like the noise is from the belt slip due to weak tensioner

that was absolutely useless. you didnt show anything on how the belt goes around what

Thank you it really work AWSOME 💪🏾

Year model? My 2011 Frontier 4.0 needs both reservoir hoses. Any assistance would be appreciated

Whats lift kit do you have ?

Hi! You helped me with the radiator last year. My issue is ONLY IN THE COLD my power steering leaks. Is this what ill need to change. Warm weather no problem. Thank you❤

Thanks dude. Mine just broke.

On the pads I got the wear indicator had to go on the backside. The pad without the wear indicator will not fit the back side because it's shaped so as not to fit.

how hot should the car be when checking this?

Thank you! 😎

The visor I received was so stiff it came loose right away. So frustrating. Had to return it for another one.

You should Invest in a dead blow.

👍👍 worked for me you know everyone uses u tube for a faster replacement or good ideas..thanks nick,,

Worked like a charm. Thank you.

Love it, just replace the wheel! Another video showed removing the AC compressor and many other things. probably 8 hours in labor. You are a smart guy, thanks

I did this on accident one time just messing around with my keys lol. It made me think I did some magic trick till I researched and learned it was just in a relearn mode. Turned out to be very useful later on when I replaced my battery and also later the alternator.

This is the BEST video for Ranger fuel pump change out.. Dropping the tank is stupid. I do like to place a couple of bath towels on the front of the box to stop any scatches

You are the best!!!!! Thank you so much!

What I did was get a turkey baster with check ball valve suck the fluid out then use a dish soap type bottle to shove the little hose in once you pull it off keeping a pan or container to catch any spillage 😅

Surprised, it sounded like the tensioner noise, but maybe the belt was stretched causing the tensioner to be at its max limit and bottom out the hydraulic "shock".

Thank you for the great, accurate info. Another page said the visor was $200 and suggested cutting up the roof fabric, cutting up and installing magnets....ugh, no thanks! Found it on amazon and installed it. All went just as you said. thanks

i have been working on mines for about a week (evenings for a few hours) recording video washing parts. i saw a trick to keeping that gasket in place by spraying adhesive spray on it, that way it doesn't move when trying to line up the upper plenum

Thank you very much. I've been looking for a video for almost 10 months that would show me how to remove and replace this part. Here in Brazil, no one does this service and shows how to do it. The workshops that perform the service charge a lot and the specialized ones are in the city of São Paulo and I live far away in the capital of Brazil in the Federal District. I didn't find anything on KZbin. I also have a channel where I show you how to do things yourself in your car. When I go to change I will film it and give you credit for teaching me. I think your reservoir is missing a Teflon ring on the pressure hose fitting. I still haven't found this ring for sale and mine is crushed. My car is a 1995 Mustang 5.0 V8. Once again, thank you very much for filming all the steps of the work.
