I put two new calipers on the rear of my Explorer but could never get the brakes to bleed properly. I kept getting air in the lines.

"Nah, costs too much, I'll just drive it a bit longer until I buy some other P.O.S. truck that is a little less awful 'cause it's cheap!" They drive with us. Soooo when your friend cheaps out on car repair, remember they're likely just six months and one KZbin video away from being one of these people. Tell 'em to stop being part of the problem, peoples!

Either the spindle shaft is bent, or the bearing cup didn't quite get put together correctly and it's binding. The hub assembly on those eliminates the plausibility of an eccentric wheel rotation, but I've already dealt with over a dozen sub-100 mile cars that do this. Normally takes about an hour and a half to swap out the halfshaft, and problem solved.

I typically try to do my own car repairs and maintenance, though I'm certainly not a mechanic. My philosophy has always been "If I can take it off without breaking it, I can put a new one on." and this has actually served me quite well except for one time. I decided to change out my brakes entirely, pads, calipers, rotors, the whole shebang and actually pulled it off quite well, or so I thought. After getting it all back together and bleeding the brakes, come to find my petal went straight to the floor with no resistance. Tried in vain for hours to figure it out, eventually called it quits, and called the mechanic I used for things I didn't trust myself to do. Come to find out, I put the calipers on the wrong sides. Had absolutely no idea that they were supposed to be on specific sides! I'm sure the mechanics had a good laugh at my expense and I laugh about it to this day.

Had a cab over Freightliner come in with an intermittent shutting down on the road. Ran diagnostic tests and found nothing to indicate where the problem was. It would drive anywhere between 2 and 50 miles before shutting down. Finally found that the driver (or someone else filling the truck) threw the clear wrapping from a cigarette pack into the fuel tank. The wrapping would float around in the fuel tank and every so often get sucked onto the fuel line fitting. Resting the wrapping would float away. That's why you fill your OWN tanks, and don't litter in them. Cost to the trucker Over $500 in repair time and diagnostics.

The problem is that there's a severe lack of public transit in most of the US. So almost everyone needs a car to get to work. And a very large portion of jobs in the US don't pay a living wage. People can barely pay rent and buy food, there's no money to maintain their cars. So it's very common for people to only take their car in for repair when there's a problem that they can't ignore. I pay about a $500 a month premium on rent to be within walking distance of the light rail in my city and happen to have the good fortune to work at an office which is also within walking distance of the light rail, so it only takes about 45-60 minutes to get to work. But if I had to take the bus at any point to get to the light rail or from the light rail to my office you can add 30+ minutes for each transfer I would need to get. So it could take upwards of 2 hours to get to work on public transit if I couldn't afford to rent in an expensive building close the the train. It's literally not an option for most people. So they buy a shitbox car that they can afford and then drive it until the wheels fall off because they would have to choose between paying rent or getting a brake job.

We had it towed and my car spent over a year at the dealership while they tried to figure out what the heck was wrong with it. They replaced a ton of parts (yay warranty and woo free new parts) and something they did eventually worked. I don't remember what was wrong with it exactly, but I do know I got a lot of expensive parts replaced for cheap or free which was nice since now I have some fresh parts. It's been at the dealership again coincidentally for a while, it's been two or three weeks now because they need to replace a head gasket.

In the 'olden days' thats how you shut off small engines. You shorted out the sparkplug. Works just fine! Other people's children! 😞

I love the guy talking about the round of ammunition. That is not a bullet or a casing, that is a round. It is comprised of a bullet, casing, primer, and powder.

Friggin wonder it didn't get set off simply driving around before heading to the tire shop.

The "worst" violations I had was a car I took in for tires, and when they inspected it, the shocks were rusty... I declined the shocks and changed them myself properly not too long afterwards. I try and never let my cars get to an unsafe state. I check the steering and suspension for tightness each time I change oil and rotate tires..... and inspect the brake pads too.

I like aviation, the pilots are not allowed to “fix” their own planes for the most part. I also have the authority to ground a plane if necessary

Could the Hyundai one be some type of pump surging? We've had similar experience with hydraulics on our equipment causing erratic movement for that reason.

These videos remind me of the old Fram oil filter commercials: "you can pay me now, or you can pay me later". As for the stuff in the fuel tank, I would guess some sort of sugar, honey, syrup, or other substance a rival put there to cost you money,

Here in Europe those cars would be long gone from the road. Whe have to get an annual inspection done on our cars. All because people were really bad in keeping their cars maintained and accidents happened because of that. That way improved roadsafety!!

12:26 last winter I drove a snow cat that needed oil every week or 100 hours I wondered where it was going I looked for leaks told the mechanics about it I guess some just burn it the other drivers snow cat didn’t have that problem. At first I started noticing the temp going up then checked the fluids I was in the middle of nowhere but took extra fluids and whatever I needed. I got the feel of it afterwards knowing its quirks.
