@@dougbarrett7803 thanks for clearing that up

@@Craigs_car_care Only reason I know that is because I got a ticket

@dougbarrett7803 oh man that's not how you want to learn that one. Well hopefully others that read this will know what they need to do so they don't get busted. Thanks again for sharing 😊

😂 that was years ago and still no oil leaks 😊 But I agree it looked scary. 😅

@@SpeedracerMach winner and the runner up announced on Monday.

@@Qourzy yes, red flags are also required on semi trucks. They even have additional requirements for beyond three feet. Great question by the way 😀.

@ thanks for the answer, enjoy your coming holidays!

@@garycade4755 I'm assuming you're getting water in the floor board. Check the case drain. It's just below the passenger floorboard. You can get at it from underneath the truck. It's really tucked up there so you may have to use brail to get to it. Some models give you more room going through the wheel well. Also make sure the filter is clean.

@@raven1969david thank you for the clarification. That's one even I can pronounce. 😂🤠

in the beginning stages it starts that way. As it gets worse and more damage is dine it will make the noise all the time. Keep in mind there are other things that can make a similar noise. A low oil level will do this ( the oil coolers leak on these all the time), exhaust leaks can sound exactly like a valvetrain sound. Get it inspected and tested to be sure what is the cause then go from there. Great question and thanks for posting.

3-5 years seems to be the life of most of them

​@@Craigs_car_careI changed the big one and spark plugs last year.Now it's starting to stall once in awhile.I will install next week the small battery.I did cca test with battery tester.All good so far

@@sunnythomas4307 was the car having any issues before?

You are absolutely correct! Also think about the poor alternator that is trying to charge up a battery with a high voltage drop and the alternator never shuts off and overheats it self shorting its life! Thanks for posting! :)

@@daniellewright1645 if you need the whole kit, Napa offers one with the filter that has the activated carbon to keep the smells down and the door in case you have to make the cut out that first time. Then if you just need the filter they have those also. The kit is part number 259200 the filter by itself is a 259001. I like the ones with activated carbon because they keep the smells down

@Craigs_car_care thank you so much!

Depending on how long it goes with the bad / failing pump it can make several kinds of noises. It's best to use a mechanic stethoscope to verify where the noise is coming from. If you have the water pump code then after verifying power and ground the pump needs to be replaced.

Definitely sounds like a bearing going bad somewhere in the rear end. Since you hear it more when on the gas it's probably one of the pinion bearings.

@Craigs_car_care I'll have to let my mechanic know what we think it is, and hopefully, that will save him some time diagnosing.Anything else back there I should have done while the mechanic has things pulled apart?

Top of the spark plug both sides of the spring. It just takes a little bit and don't get it in your eye 😂.

@@Craigs_car_care Lol. Would you suggest putting a little on the sides of the resistor pellet as well?

@williammcgee1524 you can use a small amount

@Craigs_car_care So I changed all my boots and pellets. Put dielectric grease on the boots and a small amount on the sides of each pellet. Now I have misfires on 6 of 8 cylinders only when revving. Before was only cylinder 4. No CELs. Any ideas?

@@williammcgee1524 the fastest way to start is to swap the plug and coil with cylinders that are not missing and see if the miss moves to identify a bad plug or coil. If the miss doesn't move then it's something else. Vacuum leak, coil electrical plug not on all the way or loose connectors, injector issues or something mechanical.

@@deerandle479 that is a great question. Off the top of my head I don't have an answer for you I'm sorry. You might see if you can get the bolts off of the bottom to make enough room and look up in there with a flashlight and see if you can see the mechanism better. I'll do some research in the meantime and see if I can find something for you.

You are so welcome!

@@EmadLubbad-r9f after you do the service you will have to clear the codes. If any codes come back all the connections need to be rechecked. I would also look at the fuses.

I was going to say something but I personally use psi as my pressure scale not kpa so who am I to judge lol

Tomayto /Tomahto :) I heard from a guy that lives at 7500 feet, um I mean 2286 meters about his water boils at 198 degrees. Sorry again, I meant 92.22 Celsius. I appreciate your commenting.

@@Craigs_car_care LOL! Just think how a war with Europe will go wrong if the US General say "Attack 10 miles ahead of your position" and the French Generals order goes out "Attack 10 Kilometers out from your position", Like usual the French will drop short of that crucial battle win, LOL! and once again a Russian tank and a Allied tank will have a standoff at the Russian Border.

Thanks 😊

😂😅😊 everyone's just so used to that kind of driving it's not a big deal anymore.

Thanks Patrick :)

With the lifter collapsed the corresponding valve was not being opened and that caused that cylinder to misfire. If it was an intake valve it would not be able to take in a fresh charge of air and fuel (low compression). If it was an exhaust valve it would not be able expel the charge (high compression) (Great question)

@@Craigs_car_care okay thanks for the reply. Because I have a pickle. 2008 Buick 3.8 series 3. Missing on number 4 cylinder. Excellent fire. Replace the injectors. Pulled almost new spark plug it had some black Carbon on it and was wet with fuel. Good compression when cranking between 150 to 160 psi. However when it starts running as it did one time when I had the gauge hooked up the pressure drops down to about 20 psi. I kind of found it by accident. All I can think of now is a lifter issue. Is that something that's possible I'm just trying to get it right in my head. I pulled the valve covers today and watch the Rockers and they seem to all be moving about the same lift duration but it's hard to tell. When I put my finger on one rocker on that cylinder I can feel a change different from the other rockers. Almost like it has ever so little play in it. But I know I'm feeling against the spring rebound as it's running.

@@headpainter1 compare the compression to one or two of the other cylinders. Make sure it's done the same on each one. Let me know what you get. And this is a cranking not running test.

@@Craigs_car_care I did number one which showed 140 cylinder 3 showed 143 cranking and then I thought maybe he meant sister cylinders to either side of four. Not quite exactly sure what you're looking for.

@@headpainter1 so it sounds like higher compression on the cylinder that's getting flooded. Could be a lifter problem on the exhaust side. you would first need to rule out that it's not over fueling from a bad injector even one that you replaced or a bad driver in the PCM that's holding the injector stuck open. You might pull the rail loose and raise it up and just turn the key on engine off and see if it puddles out fuel out of that injector. You would think with a wet plug it would be more likely to wash a cylinder and be lower compression than the other ones.

So true 😊

@@VineyardGHS that's crazy 😧 glad you got it fixed

Way to overboard! People wonder why cars cost so much these days. I hope they go back to just making a basic reliable vehicle that is affordable someday.

Don't be rude.

​@@Papyrus228XSorry 😊

It should be pulling in outside air to first cool the AC Condenser then the radiator then over the engine and out under the vehicle. I have not seen this but I supposed if the hydraulic lines were hooked up backwards it could do this.

You are 1000% right!

@@B.P._ he really likes the multitask. His brain goes 1,000 mi an hour. 🤣😂🤠

You're absolutely correct.
