Chris has saved me so much money it's not even funny.

So unbelievably grateful that my 13 year old curious self brought me to his videos and started getting interested in cars.

That JB weld extreme heat saved my ass a week ago. I bought a car Brooklyn and I need to drive in 20 miles north to my job to work on it but i hadn't registered the car yet and i need to get to work on it asap. The car had a huge crack in the headers so i put that stuff on and left it overnight. Came back the next day it and it works perfectly so slapped on some plates i had, my photoshopped registration and inspection and drove that across the Brooklyn Bridge, up the FDR, thru the Bronx, and up into Connecticut. If that stuff failed then my ass would be in jail now. Now I recommend that stuff to everybody!!

I used the same putty in jar as you had. It did not cure all the way after 2 hours and used the heat gun as you suggested. IT WORKED!!!! Thank you!!!!

[@mtier0067]

Just a note that the link in the description for the putty is to High Heat JB weld instead of the Extreme Heat JB weld that Chris uses in the video. The top label part is cut off in the video for product licensing, I'm sure but you can see in the packaging that the continuous temp for the Extreme Heat that he uses is up to 2400* F instead of 450* F that the High heat variety withstands. Get the good stuff people. Chris, you may want to update that link! Thanks for the great video. This will likely save me about $3000 in lieu of replacing driver/passenger exhaust manifolds in a 2000 100series Toyota Landcruiser. Thanks!!

Hey ChrisFix

[@AJGvideos]

0422 code and cracks in all 3 manifold pipes. Used a shop vac to pull extremeheat into each crack. Cured 48 hrs then used vacuum and second coat to plug any missed areas. Cured 48 hours. On first 2 mile drive, the epoxy puffed out in areas going from smooth finish to bubbly surface, but no cracks. Drove on highway a few days later 15 miles and passed emissions. Will definitely change the manifold soon, but not until the epoxy cracks. Thanks Chris Fix! Used wire brush and 150 grit to prep, and 90% ipa to clean before epoxy application.

[@AJGvideos]

1 week later: Some hairline cracks have appeared now when the engine cools down. When the car runs, they seal up. The hardened epoxy is likely expanding and contracting with temp, but so far it is working to suppress the leak.

I still can't believe how awesome internet is...having such good advice available and free. Thanks a lot for the gold Chris

[@jeffreynelson2660]

You are right, I have made many inexpensive repairs to my cars using internet (KZbin) advise, ranging from body work on my old Caddie to changing plugs and injectors on my Expedition. This has saved me more than $5k in the last two years. Now I can pass advise to friends and relatives.

pretty fly for a wifi Yeah but half his fans do. If videos like these help even one person save money then its a win for them. I know because chris has helped me save a lot of money on work that are really easy. Don't know why people hate on him, his methods work and that is more than reason to follow his methods. I would rather do something that I know was done right than have someone else do it only for it to break down a few weeks later. I have been there.

[@92JoseR]

Man I can't thank you enough. A couple weeks ago it was the squeaky belt and your vid helped me find a solution. And now I found three exhaust leaks using your method and I fixed them. Thanks again!

[@XaviDaKringeKid]

Tysm, Chris! I've been watching for about three years now, and I've been taking advice from multiple automotive YT Channels, but once I discovered the ChrisFix Channel, well... Its definitely the best out of all. Cars have been my thing since the age of four/five, because my dad had a 1999 Honda Accord EX V6 that was pretty much a death-trap, and was on its way out. He worked on it a lot, and one day I asked him if I could help him when I got older, and he said "Maybe" but that never happened, because in December 2016 he passed away from a brain-tumor, and at the time I was so young, that I had to ask what "Passed away" meant. Once it kicked in I had a different outlook on life, and suffered from depression, which landed me in therapy. So from there-on-out I have been determined to become the best that I can be, because sometimes I feel like I don't want to exist, but I have to remember that I'm doing this for him. Now I'm 13 years-old, with an IQ of 121, and all I want to say is Thank you to (most importantly) my dad, and also all the others that are (or were) in my life.

I will never work on my car. I will never work on my exhaust. Yet, I can't stop watching your videos. They're SO well done, you explain things so logically and completely. I guess maybe I watch them to gain little nuggets that I might use in other areas of my life. Thank you for taking the enormous amount of time it takes to do videos like this, to help people. Well done!

[@craigieb]

@aldovino2762 because I don't have the skills, and I don't have the time. I'd rather pay the money for an auto expert to fix my problem, than to make it worse by attempting to fix it myself. Just personal preference. :)

[@MathiasMaximus]

@@craigieb "auto experts" can make it worse too. As far as skills, the only way to learn is to watch, read, and practice

[@amogus1981]

@@craigieb most of the issues you can sometimes encounter are not hard to fix and definitely will not make the thing worse if you slightly mess up, like replacing simple components like a fuse or a spark plug, if you have even the slightest idea what you're doing, which always should be the case (chris's videos are a great example that most of these things are actually very easy)

[@steveretiredandcranky]

Another truly great instructional video. Every time I watch I try to think how it could it could be improved but usually there is literally no way to make it better. Your skills really are legendary and have inspired me to do many repairs successfully I would have otherwise not even tried. Just fantastic.

Side note: The video quality and cinematography over the years have been greatly improved, and it's noticable. Great content... Please keep it up. Your videos have really helped. Double side note: I think it's pretty awesome that you actually put a significant hole in your own perfectly good exhaust, just for this video. Props... That's dedication at it's finest!
