[@kathysexton4554]

Thank Jimmy! great video. We enjoy the in depth repair videos almost as much as the day in the shop videos, so your true fans always enjoy and they are great for newbie members. Have a great day!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! 👍

[@jeannetteaviles7618]

Thank you for your videos jimmy

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Appreciate that Jeannette!

[@jamesu]

I did a set of those Honda valve covers last week. Old rubber and plastic fought me the whole way

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Man their rubber selection is bad. Nice work!

[@oldbiker9739]

you did a great job on that Encore timing chain Jimmy ,well done

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks 👍 OB

[@as3sxp]

Contact Tekton, they will take care of you. Especially if you link them to your video. They have a great warranty

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks for the tip! I'll check it out.

[@warrantyvoid100]

Thanks for the video Jimmy! I picked up a good deal on wheels with a good brand of near new tyres for the project car today, a nice upgrade over the factory rims (from 215/60 R16 to 235/55 R18) and cheaper than putting new tyres on the old rims. $500 AUD ($300 USD) for the set with wheel nuts!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

That's a great deal on wheels and tires!

[@mightyclos1984]

I purchased the d1 lite as a back up to my launch about a month ago. I was very impressed with it that it has more or less become my main scan tool

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

That D1 Lite is a pretty good scanner! Full video soon!

[@mikenonameneeded3485]

Jimmy, I share your videos to my friends. I sure wish I knew how to get you more traction? I love watching all your content. You are a very friendly person and I like how you are able to verbalize exactly what you are doing. You are a great teacher. I pick up little things and techniques that hat have obviously taken you a career to know. You definitely should be over 500k subscribers. As Joe Dirt says, Keep on Keeping on.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks, that really means a lot! I appreciate the support!

[@giggiddy]

I'm with you buddy. I've basically lost faith in most people anymore when I see new channels doubling every week and they have the same fake crap with the same fake drama and they fix nothing. Apparently most (American) adults have the attention span of a 5 year old and the humor of a pimple faced teenager. These channels talk so fast you can't understand them and all they show are the pretty money shots. Real master mechanics turning real wrenches for a living are not highly represented on lube tube. I guess people prefer a 5 minute tik tok of someone in a mechanics uniform slipping on a banana peel so they can giggle like a little girl.

[@Stonehands75]

See you in the next one You are awesome

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

AS are you my friend! :)

[@JoseDiaz-xc9xs]

For taste and more itssss Encore....im old enough to remember that jingle...

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Hahaha

[@dwebs262]

The MWC reference about the Cadillac Allante cracked me up, to this day when I see one I hear her voice saying that, I usually say it out loud if one of my kids is in the car. I had to show my 20 year old the original episode, because he just didn't get my explanation of it...😂. Man, the profit margin on those increased wiper sales has to be at least 37% over new tire sales, right?🤫

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Haha those wiper blades! I’m surprised they don’t make a new allante and reuse a similar add.

[@Scott_69HemiDart]

Good morning Jimmy!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Good morning! Glad you're here.

[@johnn2557]

Working on that Buick is like working on an elevator, lots of up and downs!😂😂

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Man I just about wore out the lift…if it wasn’t already bad enough.

[@lloydweems6237]

Eric O has a lawnmower in the background sometimes, you have music. No copyright strike for lawnmowers though.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Haha that’s funny! Maybe I need a lawn mower, he’s nearly at 1 million subs! 😎

[@SpankysHotRodsandCustoms]

The shop is smelling like new tires. It’s donut 🍩 time

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Haha that it is!

[@dangleebols]

First back on my game 😊

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Haha Steak dinner!

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

Tekton would probably send you a new one if you mail it too them

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Have to look into that!

[@tedvandell]

I can tell from the way you closed the video that sometimes you can't row fast enough... Some days are better than others

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Yeah, a tough day here and there lately. Really do not tolerate a lack of organization well, lol.

[@DavidChewning-mr4jp]

I like the closeups. I look forward to the Otofix review. I'd be curious if you can see CAN high and CAN low on the Otofix like Eric O can on the Autel.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

I’d be surprised if it can do that, but we will look into it. Thank you!

[@mikenonameneeded3485]

Torqued to 75!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks Mike!

[@Scott_69HemiDart]

Another great day in the shop!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thank you Mr Scott!

[@AR-il9gk]

Modern gm's you can't overwrite a used module..their way of keeping new part sales up..same thing with newer ford and chryslers too

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Yeah, many of them now don’t allow it. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a govt mandate?

[@oldbiker9739]

its getting bad out there for quality parts and availability for cars and trucks that are only 10 years old even three years old or new vehicles I can get all the parts I need for my 2005 4x4 blazer and my 91 GMC 1500,I think Ill keep those old pigs.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

The good thing about a 91 is not too much plastic. And an LS swap is possible when needed some day. ;)

[@bryanalbright3019]

KATIE AND ROB will keep their names alive. All lives matter. 😮

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Haha true.

[@paulb351]

Day 626 Sounds like you're counting down time in prison SNAP ON Shill😂 (That's a joke , just incase)

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

lol

[@randy5411]

Removing a Daddy Long Leg spider from the brake area, then relocating it to a safe place will add .1 to the labor charge. It's a known fact amongst repair shops Jimmy, so don't feel like you're padding the job.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

lol, nailed it Randy!

[@tomwalma4762]

being forced to somebody else's choices of music, sucks

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Yeah exactly!

[@alexk7286]

wipers sales up😂. 🔧🪛🔩👍
