[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Ahhhhh memories.

[@deetee3153]

Great job Jimmy!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thank you!

[@georgebeuselinck951s]

"She's ugly, but she sure can cook!" Good one hit wonder by Jimmy Soul! LOL!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Haha thanks George!

[@lloydweems6237]

You definitely have a ball joint press that will get the job done. The van should drive nice after this work.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks Lloyd, the BJP1 is a great press, although a bit pricey.

[@randy5411]

This video shows how much work it is to replace the front end components. You've probably done this job on your back, in a driveway, with the car propped up on wood blocks. I believe you; you're not afraid of hard work. That was a nice fake out when you pretended to throw away the used cotter pin.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Hahah good catch! Thanks Randy!

[@warrantyvoid100]

Thanks for the video Jimmy!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Glad you liked it! Thanks!

[@dantheman6931]

Good job dude!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thank you Dan!

[@kathysexton4554]

Good morning Jimmy, Let's get this day started! Hope your day is awesome!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Morning! It is gonna be an awesome day!!!

[@davidfields2930]

There’s more technology and wiring in that seat then in the Apollo lol

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Haha, oh yeah. 8 way seat with a heater and airbag. :)

[@redcarbon4395]

Torqued at 220 KZbin foot-pounds. Making suspension work look easy! Awesome work Jimmy! I would be too scared to bang that hard on the van with it on the lift. I would make a very bad mechanic, ha ha.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Haha, it is really heavy so won’t go anywhere if it’s at the right lift points. :)

[@COBRO98]

Jimmy the way you had just that lift arm's pin edge on the perch @ 10:47.. I would take the time to place the adapter pins so that the frame rail is straddling them, even if I had to stack adapters.. if that makes sense You know how heavy those vans are especially when they keep equipment in the back, I always check that so that I can pull them slightly forward to maintain balance point(I also put a pole stand under the rear on large trucks and vans so that they can't start tipping/rocking) You've been doing this a really long time, you & I both know complacency is what gets people hurt in shops, be careful brother

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks for looking out!

[@johngould2665]

Wouldn’t you grease them first?

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

I like to grease them after install. To make sure all fittings are accessible also.

[@Savageitright]

Good Morning Jimmy The Captain of Making it work! The oil undercoat is like fluid film and is on everything, even bottom of engine and trans. Keeps aluminum from degrading. Appointment at 9 this morning. Have a great day.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Ahhh Fluid Film is good stuff! Thanks

[@dzljon]

Good morning jimmy

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Morning!

[@johngould2665]

3/4 is bigger than 5/8 by1/8 inch

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

That is correct, 3/4 is the same as 6/8. I love math

[@williamwalker4029]

Jimmy! I believe you are incorrect on your measurements... it's one little line and then a medium line and then another little line pass the big line😂

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

[@dangleebols]

First again, what do I win 😂😂😂😂

[@giggiddy]

Never could understand why a grown man would play the "first" game.

[@dangleebols]

@@giggiddy it's called having a bit of fun with a friend, you should try it some time.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

I think at the very least you should get a cookie! Haha

[@Scott_69HemiDart]

Thank you my friend!

[@discipline3318]

Nothing but broken down Fords!!! Why am I not surprised 😮……and I’m not a Ford Hater, I really respect the Panther platform, I just don’t like trash 🚮

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Yeah it was only Fords all day! Haha

[@daveunbranded]

18:17 that was me

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Haha

[@MitchGaar]

Good morning Jimmy! I am confused why a cable would break on a lift? I never have heard of that before? Maybe it was from doing things like using pole jacks to do things? lol I had to comment! Couldn’t happened to a better mechanic! lol good stuff. Glad that Evaporator job was you! I hate dash work!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

lol, balancing cables last a long time. About 10 years. So most shops run them 20, haha.

[@tombeilman5579]

22/32,s. Do you watch wrenching with Kenny. He said a VW had a blown head gasket. Dye test didn’t turn color, pulled head off and no indication of water on heads or pistons. He should have done a borosope check

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Yeah, it’s a lot of work to do if you are not 100% sure.
