[@ninja3169]

Hello Sir, Just a friendly advisement from a mechanic best secret kept by the parts stores is getting silicone wipers they last for years rather than months and they are superior to traditional blades.

I found your channel a month after my home flooded because of a supply line that popped off under the kitchen sink. You gave me a label, Professional Homeowner, that I can hold onto when things get tough! You've inspired a 26-year-old Midwest (Chicago) man!

You may want to start oil changes every 5000 to 6000 mi, ford's had alot of problems with their variable valve timing systems especially the cam phasers. They have extensive very small passages for the oil pressure to adjust valve timing, easily clogged by the smallest amount of sludge buildup. Also those new 7.3L engines have been known for camshafts delaminating, food for thought. Thanks for your videos as always be blessed.

[@shakydolphin4125]

More of these videos are needed. I remember these types of videos of you working in your former wood shop.

[@mattresspolice]

I love how many unique and useful tools you have, but when it comes to a oil catch pan you have the bare minimum. I think we all have that one tool that's just enough.

[@priority19]

Not only are u a good teacher, prepper, but also excellent at vidography and showing us the entire picture, thanks!

[@BattleChemist]

Power went out here in Pierce County last night due to wind. Got to light up the old kerosene lantern from the 70's that lit my parents' living room when I was a kid.

[@donaldmatthies6026]

Cody, Now I've seen it all! You still have full service at the gas station!

[@WhatDoestheFutureHold]

Don't forget to apply Rain-x to the windshield after you clean it! Game changer on visibility when raining and snowing

[@lachychops2]

Nu finish is another one, isopropyl clean off first then wipe on, haze, wipe off

We been mostly ready for a bit now. I’m officially a proho’s man servant as of a few months ago. I’m loving the responsibility, the not having to leave home, the ability to use the owners stuff to an extent and the endless change in jobs. Always keeping me on my toes and testing my problem solving skills. I think this is what I was bread for honestly. North coast man loves your videos 🤙

[@williamtufts3600]

Minor suggestion. When you pull the wiper blades off put the wiper arm back down against the glass. They are spring loaded and if you leave them up there is a possibility they can slam into the windshield and crack it. Especially if you are cleaning the windshield. It's really easy to bump the arm and make it slam down.

[@slmdnkasr]

Damn, this is a good one

[@unaffiliated_x9279]

My employee did that and cracked a brand new Audi's windshield. I believe it was a $1,200 mistake because, of course, it was a special type of windshield.

[@williamtufts3600]

@@unaffiliated_x9279 of course it never happens on a junk Cavalier. Only on something that stings the wallet.

[@smileyguyz]

Yup, I did exactly that on my mom's car. I'm super paranoid when changing wipers now.

[@jonlucas6058]

Agreed. I feel better about recently replacing my 20+ year old tool truck floor jack with a HF Daytona. If it’s good enough for the Proho, it’s good enough for me.

[@jamesshaw3366]

Can’t wait to see how the warm the tent is and the snow build up

[@angelicaconiguliaro3179]

I would also check the battery fluid level since you had the corrosion on the terminal. Could be a little low and the top of the lead plates will be showing. Only takes a few minutes. Hope this helps. Good luck with the storm!

[@nobodynoone2500]

Yup, need 2 tools to do it "right", or just distilled water to get you going. You should first use a tester to be sure there is enough acid the water won't freeze. Second, use a battery filling jug if you have an old type battery. If you use AGM, which are mostly decent (i would avoid optima and clones tho), oversize it a bit to counter for the lack of maint. Either way best to just bite the bullet and buy a quality battery when it's time. I always measure my battery box/area to fit the largest I can, but be aware of where the posts are, polarity, height, etc.

[@rickreese5794]

I like the felt washers that fit on battery terminals, Helps a lot😊

[@georgebarnes9204]

Most batteries these days you can't check fluid level on

[@paladinjme]

Don't rinse the corrosion off into the engine bay...EVERYTHING it touches will rust / rot in short order.

[@matthewgross6958]

@@paladinjmeNeutralize it with Coke and rinse immediately with copious amounts of H2O, you’ll be fine. 👍🏻

[@Jmwtime]

Worked in the parts industry for 8 years, couple of pro-tips incoming. NEVER, leave the wiper arms up without blades on them, bump one of those and they slap down on the space formerly inhabited by a windshield. AMSOIL glass cleaner is tops, but try newspaper instead of the blue towels for a really nice final clean. Great video as always!

[@SketiSquad]

I’ve never needed chains for roads on my f250 4x4, but I have them for the worst case scenarios. Glad to see you put them on the front wheels like a competent 4-wheel drive owner

[@sethmoking]

Many 4x4's are not suitable for front tire chains, which is a shame.

Those wiper blades are great! They are impregnated with rain-x. The instructions on the package tell you to run them dry for a bit, and then apply the washer fluid to activate the rain-x... Its crazy I know, but they are the only wiper blades that have an installation instruction! Stay safe!

You should try that RainX windshield washer fluid. It's a game changer. I can't imagine using anything else now. It's like the rain is scared to stick to the window when you're driving.

[@northjerseykevin3915]

Good stuff. I can relate to everything in this video. It enjoy watching someone else doing it. Thanks for the video. Hope you have a nice weekend and enjoy the snow.

[@chriswtburke]

we've got a mess coming tomorrow... wind and rain though, not much snow (eastern Canada)... we're getting similar winds to hurricane dorian which messed up the island I live on pretty bad. We spent the day getting everything battened down and all the animals water tanks topped off. double checked the generator. We're pretty well set for the storm.

[@maybacher]

Holy cow! This midwest city proho here had 4-8 inches of snow and I really predicted at least 5 inches. Our sidewalks aren't even getting covered.

[@maybacher]

well it seems just now at about 1:49 we're gettin maybe a quarter/half inch

Three things…… A “full service” station….. Haven’t seen one of those in ages…… Second, my thought on the skid steer also….. I was like…”He isn’t going to back that inside?” And third…. I’m just jealous….. such a beautiful area….. You’re blessed for sure!!

[@509vista]

Oregon is all full service. You can't pump your own fuel. He must have been just over the border.

[@natehydrv1661]

For wipers I like the Bosch icon

[@frankdamelio1664]

I love that bumper .

[@RJD0314]

Not intended as criticism, I love videos like this. (We are like minded about preparing for inclement weather. ) But you can carefully fill the oil filter before putting it on to eliminate any potential issues. Also, wipe a little oil on the gasket before tightening. Great video, thanks.

[@PatriotsOfWash]

Thank you very much for what you show us.

[@maceowright400]

Love your channel. I leave my skid steer bucket outside so snow doesn't melt and then freeze in the bottom. Just what I've found to be helpful in central Nebraska

[@MrToyFrog]

If all you can find is +32 degree washer fluid, you can use 1 cup per gallon of 90% or higher rubbing alcohol. The alcohol keeps it from freezing and that little amount won't affect the paint.

[@jordannerski261]

We bought a big green drain pan from napa i think its like 15qt or something for our old 7.3 diesel its well worth the 30 bucks or so. Drain all the oil at once and no chance of it spilling from over flowing. Love the videos.

[@therado12345]

good quality video, very informative, beautiful home and a nice cheerful guy in front of the camera, man i love theese vids :D

[@Professionalfarmerboy]

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure; snowstorms are no exception. Great video as always. Also, if you're cleaning battery terminals, wear eye protection. I recently got some of that gunk in my eye and you won't forget it!

You did a great job with the tire chains. In the spring it’s time for a set of truck batteries around 4 years it’s time to change them it’s best to do it on your own terms why go somewhere and it doesn’t start. This way you can pick your own brand like 1000 cold cranking amps. Thank You

[@DISCOPORCH]

I personally use Bosch wiper blades. Very soft rubber that doesn’t streak. I replace them once year even though it’s not needed because there is not much that brings me as much joy as brand new wiper blades. It’s like having a new truck.

[@ryanh.2049]

Same here. Bosch Icon. They last years for me. I just wipe em down from time to time with degreaser hand wipes.

[@T25de]

A perfectly clean and clear windshield gives me the grins

[@Dadlife911]

As a east TN man I don’t have a ton of experience with snow but I would think a good RainX job would be a great “snow prep” for a truck. Though that may only be useful for our slushy/freezing snow.
