​@@Erickindle-dq3jdI like the fact that you call her wrong yet are incredibly wrong yourself. Most manufactures don't use throttle cables at all and the general rule is if it has an ECU it has drive by wire. In regards to dates, she said that the transfer started in the 2000s not that all manufactures did it in that decade, which is true and in fact most newly manufactured models had drive by wire by the end of the 00's; I remember Reddit and discussion boards in the mid 00's complaining about the switch and how hard it was to find new models with throttle cables.

Fun story for the throttle cable thing. Years ago, i was working at a gas station, and one of the guys there had an old firebird from the 70s that was sitting behind the garage forever. While i was dumping trash at the dumpster, one of the techs came out to move it for him. It was then that i realized that there was a string routed through the hole in the firewall where the pedal was supposed to go. So he turns the thing over, and goes to pull it up behind the boss man's new Escalade, and tugs on the damn string once too hard, and bumps straight into the Caddy. We all rush to see the damage, myself, the tech that was moving the car, and one other tech that had come out for a smoke. This was the generation of firebird with the pointed sheet metal front end, and lucky for the guy messing with it, it only touched the toe hitch ball. His exact words were "just walk away". No sooner do we do so, and i go back to the dumpster, than boss man comes around the other side of the building, and goes to his Caddy, none the wiser.

[@MosquitoXR13]

As a Yakuza: Like a Dragon player, the "honk, honk" comment got me chuckling.

[@herrbrahms]

One thing to know about the window hack -- which is undeniably badass -- is that parts designed for 120VAC get away with running 10x the power through the same gauge wire as 12VDC, because amperage is what determines wire size. What that means in English is that if you have a 15A cable in a house with 120VAC, it can carry 1800W, enough to run a space heater. That same 15A cable in a car can only power 180W, enough to maybe run the radiator fan. 12V systems hold cars back and have led to lots of sleepless nights for electrical engineers on how to not spend $$$ on copper for all the wiring, plus the weight of the wiring. There are two reasons we still stick with 12V instead of going higher voltage: higher voltages present more shock danger because they can overcome skin resistance, and the most reliable lead acid batteries love to be arrayed in 6 cells of 2V each.

[@morgan5941]

So, my exhaust burnt through my starter cable. I took a similar extension cord as the window hack, stripped one side off and ran it from the solenoid to the starter. That was 20 years ago, and I still haven't fixed it properly.

[@kylekarcher]

Wire is rated by amps not watts so you are correct. The lower the voltage the higher the amps. That's why voltage drop in low volt can melt wires easier than high voltage.

[@justajabronie]

I wanna see either of them with Faye Hadley. Probably Angie cause girl power. But I think Sandro would be a better yin/yang kinda matchup.

[@cloudoftime]

That last clip looked different than Angelina was describing. The brake line was shot near the master cylinder. MacGyver pulled the line off of the MC (this part was not shown) then reconnected the line to the MC where it was punctured. Then he refilled the reservoir with the PS fluid. That said, I don't know how MacGyver would figure out that the line was punctured in the engine compartment rather than anywhere else along the brake lines. Also, PS fluid can be clear, and brake fluid can be red. This was also the 80s.

[@travisscavoni369]

I don't know enough to say whether the brake hack would work, but when I was younger I remember reading that many MacGyver hacks were things that would work in real life. The show, however, would leave out important steps to prevent people from actually trying them (well that, and obviously time constraints).

[@dariopiovani5077]

In cases like these the handbrake is always going to save you because it is mechanical (a literal cable going to your back wheels, like a bicycle brake) and not hydraulic. Especially so with a ratcheting one in the center console, which you can even "modulate" up to a point. We were forced to do it for a bit in our old family car... so trust me, in case of emergencies it works.

[@foxisretrofitting4556]

An important thing to note also is if you put a petroleum based fluid like oil, trans fluid, or power steering fluid into your brake system it will straight up swell and destroy all your seals, hoses, and any rubber bit in your brake system because those parts weren't made to stand up against petroleum since DOT 3 brake fluid is alcohol and polyethylene glycol based. It is also important to mention DOT 5 fluids are silicone based and require non rubber parts and certain Rolls Royce hydro fluid systems are mineral oil based. Dot 3 and 4 are mixable in a pinch since they are both PG/alcohol based but to get the full benefits of DOT 4 fluid you'd need to clear the DOT 3 out and refill with just DOT 4.

This whole thing was a flashback to my childhood in the middle of nowhere.

I also had to hold the window crank to keep it from failing so it felt like operating a submarine or something.

Here's a fun one for you. When automatic windshield wipers were first developed they ran on vacuum. The engine would build enough vacuum in a vac can, and the wipers would be pulled to one side and would open up a bleed valve to vent into the vac-can. Once the wiper completed its pass, a spring would return it to neutral while the vacuum can recharged. Most folks would just disconnect the arm going to the vacuum system and manually run the wipers.

Both ended up working fine, but the new switch was being finicky with the wipers! So I wired a little lever switch to the motor, and put a battery in the motor.

Wait a second, I remember that episode of MacGiver. That's a 1970 Volvo 164, and thats a washer fluid hose he's squirting fluid in the master cylinder with! Never noticed that until now...those cars have pretty big hoses with braiding over them for the power steering! Dang TV shows!😅

[@CarsWithScars]

[@sirphartikus]

Sandro and Angelina really add soooo much to these. Great pair!

[@LuisGomez-su7kf]

[@lordpumpkinhead265]

Angelina explains why some of these hacks work and Sandro has put some of these hacks into practice. A perfect combo.

It's like mythbusters... For THE BOYS!

You guys post right when I go to lunch at work. It's fantastic. The donut team does some good producing.

I've done a few dodgy repairs to get by over the years: * Hose clamps and drink cans to fix a split exhaust * Hose clamps and some coolant hose offcuts to cover a hole in a metal cooling pipe * Zip ties to hold the shifter cables in place after the boot that holds them and lets the cable slide tore. * Jump pack in place of the battery to get it home when it kept dying * Terminal block to adapt stereo wiring * Stockings as an airfilter on a carby * Manual floor switch to bypass broken headlight relay Im sure there is stuff I cant think of right now. Edit: OK that carrier bearing hose fix is amazing.

Sandro is really cool and willingly leans into other people's sense of humor and so when we laugh with him and at his jokes we feel like we're kind of as cool as he is. That's how we're all the boys. Well I mean I'm a girl so I'm just down for the boys if you know what I mean

If I lived in Cali, I would honestly take Angelina's class. Excellent explanations and teaching and a whole lotta fun.

1:20 One of the things I love about old G body Chevy Van's with Inline 6 or V8 engines in them is how easy it is to improvise missing parts or to get them running enough to get them home. I once drove an '82 Chevy G10 Van with a 250 Inline 6 home after buying it by bringing a junky spare monojet carb with me to swap out the dead one, pinned the choke open on the carb with a spring from a dead Gamestop PS2 steering wheel set, used a throttle return spring from a '91 Cadillac, and left the engine cover off so I could use my hand to work the throttle. It was positioned perfectly. Since it was an automatic and I'm ambidextrous I could steer with my left hand and use the throttle with my right. With my Van a '79 with a 350 V8, I've driven the throttle by hand on my Quadrajet to get to work and to get a replacement when my cable snapped one day. My shifter lever broke off on the column one time in a parking lot on a hill one night after work and I had to keep my foot on the brake while I undid the engine cover. I managed to get my L shaped tire iron within my reach in the cab and slid it into the shift linkage to get it into park. I was then able to disconnect the linkage and secure the iron into the fork. I drove it home that way in below freezing weather. I made a new shifter lever from one I took off a 2004 GMC Envoy in the junkyard. Writing this I starting to think.... If someone wants me to do some videos on my van give me a like XD

[@ImThe5thKing]

I love how Angelina is perfectly educating about the stuff done in the clips and Sandro is just cracking jokes lmao

[@DucatiPaso750]

I absolutely love this series!! Both Angelina and Sandro are great on camera.

[@DocMozi404]

For the pliers motorcycle clutch cable thing: For my play off road bike (1993 dr 650), my kit includes a small vice grip for EXACTLY this use. Yes, I've got a spare clutch cable (ok, it's a roll of stranded wire, a sleeve, and some anchors), but the vice grips work in a pinch (narf !) when you're on the side of a mountain, dumped it, snapped the lever, and just need to get to camp.

[@robertkaul1010]

Angelina and Sandro are fantastic guests, both are knowledgeable and take different opinions on fixes and stuff it's great!

[@roguesample]

I’d love to see Sandro and Angelina guest star in one of the Donut challenges where they challenge someone to fix a car. Could even work them into it and say any time you ask their advice it’s -10 mins or something

[@blackdiamondA1]

Best Duo on this channel so funny and i really like the insight on all of the videos. Such a great show

[@Xplasma1]

The horn switch is a momentary contact switch... and on some pre airbag Chryslers, it was two copper plates separated by foam. One of the tabs from the upper plate would, over time, saw its way through the plastic guide and make contact with the other horn plate. Why yes I personally discovered this and had to pull the fuse for the horn so i could drive home.

[@AG-bp3ll]

This has become my favorite content from Donut and I don't even care that much about cars.

[@kristiangunderson]

I broke a clutch cable on a bike and used a vise grip on the end of the cable to get going again. Rode it through Vancouver traffic to get home, then replaced the cable. I've also definitely had to jumper a few starter solenoids. One was a similar old ford pickup with a broken linkage in the column, and I ran a wire to a pushbutton in the dash to fix it. 15+ years later and it still works.

[@Iescobar6]

You guys don’t understand how much u guys make me happy with these vids. Thanks donut media and Sandro and Angelina ❤

[@wartortilla2819]

Sandro and Angelina are such a nice bunch to watch during a hard week.

[@Prowler9000]

On my 1982 Goldwing with sidecar, my Pull-throttle cable end snapped off, going uphill, passing a semi. Having the throttle immediately cut off and managing to coast over to the side, then remove the carbs enough to connect the Push-throttle cable in it's place was real fun since all the throttle cables have custom ends on them designed to fit nicely into the controls and hold them in place. The "im just gonna ride home tonight" turned into "guess im going back to that last campground" by the time i got that swapped over. If i'd had a tiny set of visegrips with at the time, i would have tied or taped them to the throttle and would have been on my way. Got those in the trunk now, along with a replacement cable set.

[@ModernVintage31]

If they were local to me I’d absolutely pay for classes taught by these two.
