Ozone machines are soooo underrated. So many people have no idea they even exist.

[@SwampBoysGarage]

I didn’t even know they existed a couple years ago. They definitely work

[@DachsAutos]

Randy - For sure - I got mine from watching your channel a few years back. You or MWM.. Priceless devices.

Im one of them

Good dad and son series. Lost my dad in 2020 and it is these type of things you are glad to have under your belt when you look back.

[@wit2pz]

Ahhh, let Tyler live! He's more responsible and consistent than many young men his age! My girlfriend's 16yr old son went and got his eyebrows threaded while she mowed the grass, with a hurt shoulder! Tyler's worth his weight in gold, and has a great example in you, Papa! Love the content and the growing fandom! Keep it up, Boys!! Mike

[@SwampBoysGarage]

Appreciate it!

[@renrut1613]

What a great channel you guys are killing it. If more people took the time to spend together as father and son the world wouldn’t have near as many issues!!!

[@SwampBoysGarage]

Thank you so much. We appreciate that comment.

[@DB1Journeys]

Totally agree. Great comment.

[@enriquelopez9124]

That $425.00 is getting to look more and more better

[@SwampBoysGarage]

Thank you

[@jackrobinson6277]

Tyler is an awesum young man. I wish there were more kids like him, interested in a project and willing to put it the time. Allow him to have some time off with friends.

[@SwampBoysGarage]

Thank you so much! This comment means a lot to me!

[@pedrolmaldonado1554]

5:41 this car has a Timing Belt. That is a 2.0L 4G94 SOHC 16 Valve. Is an interference engine, if the belt breaks it will bend the head valves. Mitsubishi started to use timing chains on the 2008 Lancer that came with the 4B11.

[@SwampBoysGarage]

Ok. I really appreciate the correction.

[@Usomichael]

as a detailer, I love the ozone machine! start the car let the ac run full speed, leave the machine inside about 20 min. works great!

[@SwampBoysGarage]

Ok. Thanks. We appreciate any tip you can give us. We are always learning

I had same model Lancer for couple of years and drove thousands of kms. Great car in it's class.

[@SwampBoysGarage]

Yes it is!!

[@leemcarthy4550]

I used to have one of these cars they were quite popular here in the uk although I’ve not seen any for a while now. Love the content as well as father and son together making great memories. Thanks for the amazing videos. God bless

[@SwampBoysGarage]

Thank you so much!

[@DB1Journeys]

You guys are always entertaining. I know it's going to be a good watch regardless of what you are working on. Idea...create a Swamp Boys bloopers video. That would be hilarious!

[@SwampBoysGarage]

We definitely have a lot of bloopers. Lol.

[@tendy101100]

I have lots of videos to watch now ❤️ , Can't believe I watched 3 videos 😀 that was a quick one hour ! These lancers are amazing always loved that model more than the later one

[@SwampBoysGarage]

Sundays are for relaxing and watching car videos. Lol. Appreciate the support!!

[@mfanning186]

I saw a 2010 Lancer Evo with 67k miles for around 32k on Carvana yesterday. The engine bay on this one looks like a new car. Even the top of the strut towers look good and rust free. Mobil 1 ESP is supposed to be their best oil. It's their Euro oil but can be used in just about all gas engines since one of the specs is SP.

[@SwampBoysGarage]

I agree. Mobil one is probably the better choice oil.

[@pochosousa4653]

Hola chicos, el algoritmo me llevó a su canal y me encanta ¡¡¡...ese modelo de lancer es muy querido en mi país (Argentina)y a salido un muy buen auto duradero y confiable. Creo que cuando lo terminen no van a tener ganas de dejarlo ir🤣🤣.y aparte me gusta ver a padre e hijo trabajando juntos (también lo hicimos mi padre y mi hermano con algunos autos a principios de los 90) espero ver más del lancer y miraré sus otros videos. Los saluda cordialmente un argentino desde España.

[@SwampBoysGarage]

Glad the algorithm brought you over! We are so glad to have you! We hope one day we can come over to visit Argentina

[@deandempsey264]

Very underrated the little lancers ❤

[@SwampBoysGarage]

We are very impressed with it.

[@technogeek1219]

I think this project is turning out beautiful, I think Tyler should remain in the project, I think he is allowed to have fun every now and then with his friends, I am currently driving the same exact car so I can totally relate to this project, I can't wait to see the finished product of all of your hard work, it will be one for the books. Great job as usual, keep up the fantastic work.

[@SwampBoysGarage]

I’ll have to keep Tyler. No way I could do this without him.

[@jdelaney9325]

I’ve owned 2 of them. A 2010 and a 2014 GT. Good little cars. Never any issues.

[@SwampBoysGarage]

We are loving this neglected one

[@jennaemullins7612]

Love the new intro Tyler! ❤ you are def. Getting more comfortable working on stuff too for sure..

[@jennaemullins7612]

And good job Dad!

[@SwampBoysGarage]

Thank you! I'm learning more and more each day!

[@stephanburgess654]

Loving what you guys are doing. I love my Lancers in Australia. I actually have owned 28 Mitsubishi cars since 1978. A few of them travelled over 430,000Kms. The motors are just great. In Australia Mitsubishi used to be always in the top 3 sellers of car brands. Now days since the factory closed it slowed for a while but still is in the top 5. I think I mentioned in my last comment on your second video, if parts are hard to find there check out Mitsispares in Australia .

[@SwampBoysGarage]

Wow that’s great. This is our first so we are just learning how great this car is.

[@iqmalsharuazhan8174]

glad i stumbled upon your channel. earned a subbed after the first episode of this series! Keep it up and cant wait to go along these restoration journey. Cheers from a fellow petrolhead here in Malaysia!

[@karltork6040]

Glad you had a good time Tyler. And yes Dielectric Grease really helps with moisture. It's also good to use on plug boots to, keeps them from fusing to plugs.

[@SwampBoysGarage]

Ok. Thanks.

[@kirkacola7942]

Keep Tyler on the channel and let him enjoy the carnival with his friends😅 Also that car is looking better now and I can't wait to see you guys paint it!🤠🏆

[@SwampBoysGarage]

I guess I’ll keep him around. Lol. This channel would fold under in the next episode if he left me. No way I could do this without him.

I've got the same car 2006 year (1.6 Estate version), been running ok for 10yrs, just the normal wear and tear parts replacement. This year failed the UK Lambda emission test, don't do any heavy driving so think it needs an "Italian Tune-up" to clear the catalytic converter. First car I've owned that has a closed loop engine management system, learnt alot in the last few weeks with the help of an OBD2 unit. Watch out for the Radiator Support Frame, the A/C condencer sits above the cross member , dripping condensate rust out the cross member over time. Had to do a weld job on mine to strengthen where severe rust had weakend it.

[@SwampBoysGarage]

That’s good to know. Appreciate the info.

[@prestonlo8127]

its a timing belt 2004- 2006 are timing belts, and the rims will not fit because the 2006 lancer es are 4x114.3 for the rims, and the new one you guys got are 5x114.3

from what it looks like that car does have a timing belt, mitsubishis from that era only came with belts and depending on the model the waterpump is also driven by said timing belt 👍

[@glenbo2464]

Does a 2006 Lancer have a timing belt? Your Lancer uses a timing belt which is made from a rubber compound and drives the camshaft. This makes for a cheaper engine to build and potentially quieter running, but it also means that the belt has to be changed periodically to prevent it snapping in service.

[@SwampBoysGarage]

Ok. I was told it has a timing chain. Thanks for the info

[@carsonac4163]

Dude thats the 2.0 sohc. It has a timing belt!! Not a chain

[@zyxwvut3397]

My ol lady's lancer 2004 ls putts when u stomp on it... When u ease into it it works fine. Even if ur at 60 and u hit it it still putts... Guessing it's some type fuel problem. They don't have filters. Could it be spark plugs by chance. I need replace them anyway

[@SwampBoysGarage]

That could be weak fuel pressure, clogged air filter, bad catalytic converter or a lot of things.

[@marcslafter5814]

you for got your die electric greese for the plug boots

[@SwampBoysGarage]

We never put that. Is it really helpful?

[@marcslafter5814]

@@SwampBoysGarage it saves from moisture getting in the plug boot and top of the spark plug

[@carsonac4163]

What exactly is the duct cleaner? I worked as a Toyota tech before and I'd see rodents and crap all the time in cabin air filters. Once thing I'll say is NEVER spray anything like lysol down in the vents. It'll dry out in the vents/dash the wrong way and your car will smell like puke with the heat on, I've seen it happen before. Some cars have a ac drain line under the car, if this has one I'd recomend doing a ac refresh. Theres two cans one goes in the line under the car the other in the duct at the bottom of the windshield
