Hey, did you make pt2?

What is the link for the lower intake video?

Whats interesting is ive been running the castrol transmax universal atf/cvt since 20,000 miles. Im at 81,000 miles now zero issues. I was never able to get my hands on original transmax cvt. Its been discontinued. Ive contacted castrol a few times, once about why they did away with it. In their words " it was redundant" . According to castrol the new stuff is the same as the old stuff, i dont know how its possible, but it is. Anyway, I drive a 2019 civic coupe ex-t, and you know honda people " dont use anything but honda fluid"! Ive owned this car since it was at 10,000 miles, and it still feels and drives the same as it did when i first got it. I do a drain and fill once a year, and change the cartridge filter behind the cvt warmer every year too. I did the pan filter and gasket at 55,000. Supposedly the pan filter isnt as important as the smaller filter. Either way I did it. For $23.00 at walmart for a gallon of fluid you cant go wrong. Castrol knows what theyre doing. Im also at the point where i think any cvt fluid will work. As in i bet if i were to use say ns3 in my honda it would be fine. I believe a day will come soon when all transmission fluids will be universal. If switching over to another brand though do atleast 3x drain and fill. According to the email I received from castrol its important to get as much of the old stuff out as you can. Castrol is all i use, motor oil, brake fluid, transmission obviously, grease, etc. If we still had BP gas here in VT id use their gas too. Dont be afraid to go to a different brand of fluid folks. As for warranty...theirs some law saying they cant actually deny warranty for using an aftermarket brand. Last thing, castrol i swear is a better fluid than the oem honda stuff. Its slightly thicker, just slightly, and i swear my car holds torque better.

Does Autozone or Oryleys filter after marker work as well or does it have to be OEM

What about the second filter.

Perfect timing! Watched your rear brake rotor pad replacement and replaced them with no issues. Great attention to detail and instruction. (Note: I also wiped the grease on the rotor thinking it would cause issues, but from my knowledge it may have coating on.) Great video, will be replacing my front rotors tomorrow watching this video!

Great job! Took me a couple of hours and the new brakes are great.

I sold it.. lost a boat load of cash..

They look new when we pulled apart last night

I have this exact machine. I bought it at home Depot in 2003 but some years it didn't get used. I'm actually having this do a first belt replacement & no idea so I was looking at videos & wondering wth. I'm not very mechanical. And have had allot of health issues so IDK how to deal with this. 😩

How dirty are those magnets with metal?

Is it difficult to get the filters out?

I don't buy crap from Amazon is junk by originally parts rock auto has all the stuff and are low prices

I use universal coolent and flush it out 1 a year not problem

My USA made brand new Monroe quick struts pop and click from time to time. The oem strut never did. And I too despise the AI internet now. This is on a Toyota Tacoma though.

2011 nissan altima trasmission is likewise 2014 trasmission

Awesome video man. Thank you for the detailed explanation. I didn’t realize Walmart sold those big jugs. I gotta get me some.

What about the cartridge paper filter

very clean nice

Wow

Thanks for sharing

In 2013 there’s no left trans mount on the bottom for 2.5l. Same engine I believe (QR25). Lookup parts by VIN if not sure and take the wheel off to look

Thank you, very clear video and very proffessional instruction.

I HAVE A QUESTION. i JUST CHANGED THE TORQUE MOUNT. THE NEXT DAY I STARTED HEARING A CLICKING SOUND? IT HAPPENS WHEN IM TURNING THE WHEEL AND SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING. IS IT POSSIBLE I NEED TO CHANGE ALL THE MOUNTS? HAVE YOU SEEN OR HEARD OF THIS?

Can’t you talk

Next time you take off original struts, take them to a shop and have them swap old shock with new one. Shops will do this for you for a few buck’s . By reusing original coil springs, you keep same height. A quick strut may throw the height off and give a different ride . This may be the cause of the noise. Not 100% sure unless I see it, but a possibility.

I feel your pain. I have struggled for years to find a quick strut that provides the same OEM ride as the original set installed at the factory. This problem seems to be across the board on all cars. I own a 2008 Lucerne and my first experience with quick struts were from detroit axle. These were horribly jarring. I immediately took them off and got a set by Monroe. These were a bit better but like you I felt every imperfection in the road and rode with them for a few years. Then the bearing caps failed and I very recently put on Gabriel quick struts. Again these were better than the monroes but still not the OEM ride I was looking for. So, It seems that these companies all use the same coil and just put their struts in the package. What is even worse is that when you research the coil that GM (remember I have a Lucerne) lists are actually three different types - Soft, Firm, Sport. When you shop for a quick strut though the coils all tend to be the firm type. There is no distinction in the types of coils and all the strut companies glorify their strut and do not talk about the coils. I would also have to bring up the possibility of other suspension components might be worn out. Specifically your control arms or ball joints. I replaced my control arms. On the lucerne the control arm includes all the bushings including the ball joints. This did provide some improvement in the fact that large bumps in the road are not as pronounced but still noticeable. I do not think there are any quick struts available that honestly do provide the OEM feel of the suspension. You will probably be forced to either live with what you have or actually build up a pair of struts from exact OEM coils. As for removing and installing coils, Although it can be dangerous, It is only dangerous to those not taking some basic precautions. If you take your time and understand what you are doing you can replace the coils. Pay good attention though to the tool you purchase to compress the struts. If you really are not comfortable then just take all your components to a shop and have them do it for you. The way I view this is - I have the guts to crawl under my car while being held up with some jack stand to work on things so compressing a coil is no more dangerous than that.

This is my problem right now, i could rent a spring compressor or rather a few but tbh its hard for me to justify the cost of full nissan parts or even going with something like bilsteins and building them with the old springs then buying new bearings and mounts when it would cost nearly double than a monroe quick-strut....even buying monroe struts and rebuilding them with the nissan springs and mounts is still much more expensive. Im also at a loss of what to do.

I just picked up two, 5-quart containers of 0W16 Pennzoil Platinum full-synthetic oil for my 2024 Prius. I bought two of the containers so that I could complete 2 oil changes, since I already have 2 oil filters on hand in my garage, a stupid FRAM oil-filter and a Purolator oil-filter. Yeah, I know, FRAMs suck, but I've got it and its brand new. I will use the FRAM for my second oil change, the Purolator will be on there for my first oil change, since that's a higher quality filter.

Comments were turned off for the video about noise so here I am. I have a 95 blazer 4.3 v6 that is quiet when its cold but then a lifter noise starts ticking when its fully warmed up. Mostly on deceleration I can hear it echoing off the surrounding cars etc. Engine has 130k but runs great, just this ticking noise that bothers me. Any Ideas on what it could be? Exhaust leak maybe being its quiet till its warm?

Will this cause it to misfire too? I've noticed it on my 99 park avenue it's also has a residue of oil and coolant .

Hello, "BlazerGuy1983" I saw your channel and saw that in your channel have some problems, not many. For these problems your channel is not growing. If you can solve these problems, Your channel will grow like a storm. Do you want to know these problem? If you Want to know, I can only tell to you. Can I tell here or email?

nice work, BG

How do you remedy the uneven ground factor? My yard is pretty uneven and have the same exact problem. Maybe bigger tires? Lower air pressure? There just isn't enough travel in the suspension.

I had that problem on a 2003 Impala LS. I was not even using Dexcool. I was using the old green coolant. The problem is the cheap plastic plenum. GM knew they had a problem with that engine and the plastic plenum. To correct the problem GM came out with the 3.8 V-6 Series III engine towards the end of the engine production run. The series III had a metal plenum. Also my plenum gaskets were leaking at 40,000 miles. My car was serviced every 3,000 miles, and the coolant changed every 24 000 miles. At 63,000 miles the temperature gauge started fluctuating by going up past the half way mark in heavy traffic, and would go back to normal when the car started moving. That cause was a external leak starting in the head gasket. The transmission started to go like they all do at 63,000 miles. I sold it, and bailed. Around the same time I bought the Impala LS, I also bought a Ford with the 3.9 V-6. The Ford I still have, and is going towards 200,000 miles with no drivetrain problems whatsoever. If Ford can build a V-6 engine with no gasket leaks than why can't GM do the same? I owned two Impalas, and they both had problem after problem. The gasket leaks were only one of them, and they happened on both cars.

Even thought this is 4 years old its a great video. Thank you very much. I have done some front end work but Im strictly DIY and in my drive way. What I do for ride height before tightening the control arm bushings is to stick a jack under the brake disk and jack it up until it comes a little bit off the jack stand. That way you know the whole weight of the vehicle is on the control arm and should be at ride height. Hopefully more videos to come. I have a lucerne (2008) and have some work to do before winter hits. Thank you.

Thank you..tremendous insight..fantastic presentation left nothing out..🎉

Do you have the links of all these parts you replaced for this?

Clearly the wife didn’t know maintenance was going down today😅

This came from "The Amazon".

Thanks for uploading! Good to know it lasted you 8 years... Still going in 2024?

Are there no level check bolts on the nissans? Lucky you have a dipstick. My 19 civic coupe 1.5t does not. I have to use the level check bolt.

Ahhh....no wonder I cant find this in stores. Just the new castrol transmax universal atf/cvt at walmart for like $25 a gallon.

Hows the castrol doing? Also folks, dont forget about your pcv valves, and if you live in a snow state FLUID FILM your car. Or use something to keep the chassis and components protected.

Hello; sorry to jump videos ! (comments OFF) Your 2000 Grand Prix was, WAS doing exactly what my 2003 is ! I have had it towed to 2 Shops and 1 Mobile Mechanic threw up his hands, didn't charge me and LEFT~ It is now at a 3d Shop I have used for 30 years and theyre confused and stalled on it ! Here goes: YOUR VID CLIPPED OFF AND LEFT US HANGING A LITTLE BG; your buddy showed up w a starter ( after a key cylinder AND eliminating PK3 ) 1 MORE VIDEO MINUTE WOULD HAVE BEEN A LIFESAVER ( and 3 tow bills ) DID THE STARTER ELIMINATE THE MIND CRUSHING NO CRANK BECAUSE THE STARTER HAS A crazy circuit/path through the body module ?? please post a short vid of hitting the key and it starting reliably ~~ would be great !! GOOD Vids and screw the over caffeinated haters !!...

What did u torque top engine bracket at? (16 mm bolts )?

I’m having a hard time finding a drive belt part number. Could you help a guy out? I got the brake and accelerator pedal to free up and move independently, got the transaxle freed up. I have some steering axle parts from another Mtd I need to swap in, then a tire and this this will be a runner! Belts toast though! Help! Please!
