Thank You Lyle Peterson👍👍👍👍👍...TM

[@richardockman5988]

Please do open the oiler and and thank you for all your videos. Also thanks to all the people who send Mr Pete all the items to keep the content rolling along.

[@Siskiyous6]

Yes to oiler video. Your rants are always spot on.

[@davidneale5821]

I like your rants. They are fully justified. The automotive service indudtry stinks 😀

[@davidw.kennedy4904]

Good video. No excuse for postal service.

[@rustymachineshop9456]

Disassemble it Mr. Pete. Thanks for taking time to make videos I know it a lot of work but thank you you know what's ashame is a friend made some holders. Something like for the oil cans he showed them on the internet and then the next thing he knows China was making them and selling them on line

[@willdouglass4800]

Always a joy watching your lessons. Keep up the great work!

[@steveparker8723]

Always enjoy your videos and learn something from each one. Yes on the pressure oilers. I've had the top off of several but never went any further than cleaning the gunk out of the bottom. Rant on about the PO and car dealerships. There is a reason some are not trusted.

[@MikesGarage-zj7vf]

Yes I would like to see the Oilers taken apart. I also like your rants. 😊

[@Blackopsmechanic338]

👍👍. Customer service has gone down the drain.

[@enriquemendoza8650]

How things work is always interesting.

[@user-oi8tg3dq7t]

Greetings from the oldest town in Texas, Nacogdoches. Another great video.

[@stevebosun7410]

Yes, Mr P, let's have a look at how the oilers work.

[@davidbramel345]

Totally agree with you on the Post Office rant! I probably would have went after the Toyota dealer also!!

[@williammelick8544]

Lyle, Louis Dejoy is the current Head Postmaster. You may remember he was appointed by you know who. He was supposed to “fix” the post office. Unfortunately neither one of them have ever fixed anything in their entire lives. Wonder if we are going to hear the phrase “ your fired” this time around? Keep up the good work, kind regards.

[@garthbutton699]

Yes sir Mr Pete,keep on keeping on,we love you🤗😎🤗😎

[@sblack48]

I always let them know in the survey when I’m PO’d. The reason why is that it is possible that the survey results go to toyota head quarters, not the dealership, so it might give the dealership some heat (though I might just be dreaming). I don’t know that for a fact, but it’s entirely possible. Besides, it makes me feel better! Great to see you excited about building that model. It’s so important for us retirees to have a reason to get up in the morning and something positive and fun to keep those mental gears lubricated. Otherwise you’ll just turn into a turnip!

[@josephhagler5145]

@sblack48 When I worked at a gm dealer they were very concerned about customer surveys.

[@garyc5483]

Rant are welcome mrpete. Long may they continue. ATB regards from the UK

[@4GSR]

I'm surprised you didn't mention windshield wipers.... Dealer tried to pull that tactic on me one time and that's all it took for me not to go back ever again! Oh, I just replaced them, too! Thanks for sharing.

[@dale1956ties]

1st period shop...my favorite class. G'mornin' Mr Pete.

[@4speed3pedals]

I definitely would watch your video showing how the oiler works. I received a package from a Fleabay seller and what was shipped was a Black&DeckerVibratone valve seat stone holder. These have bearings internally for smooth operation on a grooved pilot. I looked at the package then realized what it was supposed to be. It was empty and the flap on the brown shipping envelope was open. The seller did not tape the flap and relied on the glue that the manufacturer of the envelope had applied. The seller was congenial and refunded my money. I am repeating this to alert others so they do not rely solely on the pre-allpled glue and have it cost them hard earned money, tape it for security. Then the Post Office will have the ability to demonstrate other forms of incompetence. It must be so much automation that things like what happened to me are overlooked. You would think that someone within the USPS would take a smidgen of care but no, never going to happen.

[@petercharles2715]

...... the skeletal remains of Mr Pete ...... You made me spit out my coffee with that one! Another very interesting presentation and I would be interested in the guts of your oilers, machines are always interesting, the older the better. Your rants are very appropriate and entertaining.

[@jaybailey3518]

The rant is warranted ! It's the same everywhere !

[@johncloar1692]

Thanks Mr. Pete for the video. The Post office is not as good as good as it should be. I live less that 100 mile from Memphis Tn. It took the 5 day for a package to be delivered. Thanks for the video.

[@voodoochild1954]

You should have let the dealer know you were not happy in their survey. These surveys are critical to dealer because of incentives they receive from Toyota.

[@paulhunt598]

You showed some very fun things today!

[@brucemecham3406]

Another great Fourth Period shop class.

[@johnquinn3899]

Good morning Mr Pete. “My” shop told me I needed to change the transmission fluid-why I asked. “With the mileage on the car, it’s what we recommend. They didn’t even look at it and I told them mgr I just had it serviced. He was embarrassed. Thanks John

[@mrpete222]

They also told me they wanted to change my antifreeze

[@jscott8695]

Thanks Mr. Pete, another great video! Yes, USPS will give you heartburn, but you have to vent the spleen or you'll vaperlock, lol! I've had many battles with those people and it's just a waste of breath. There was a time when they cared. And don't get me started on my local dealership! ARGH!!! They tried pulling the same thing on me!!! Thanks for sharing! 😃

[@dannyl2598]

Thanks Mr Pete. I appreciate all that you do. I went to a dealership for a service and said "can you replace the broken dipstick while you are in there?" When I got the bill, they had charged me a half an hour of labor to install the dipstick. He said I can't change any prices but I can have the mechanic explain the charges to you so you will understand. I said I'm not a mechanic and it takes me 1.4 seconds to put the dipstick in the hole. Can he explain to me why it takes a factory training expert a half an hour to get it in the hole? The response was " will waive the fee for you today "

[@jimfiles3307]

The 30 minute rate is probably the smallest time interval that they can bill you for.

[@edl5074]

Keep them comming mr pete great video!!

[@fredohnemus7685]

You at least got into your dealership. I was refused any work on my vehicle at my dealership. They said they had no record of any appointment on their computer at the service desk. I had made an appointment a week previous online. I had been e-mailed the appointment was verified and the of very morning of the appointment I was texted a reminder. The guy at the counter told me that it was very likely that service manager probably forgot to put the appointment onto service center computer at the front counter and without it they could not work on my vehicle. Never got a request to rate them. I would have been very glad to have though.

[@graemewhite5029]

Pal of mine found out once back at home that he had got charged around £15 for topping up his screenwash when his Audi got serviced. He was certain it wouldn't happen again, so brimmed his screenwash when it next went in. At pickup time, he looked at the bill and there was the charge for 500ml of screenwash again. He said to reception "You cant possibly have put 500ml of screenwash in as I topped it off before coming here" the receptionist replied "Oh, you'll find the bottle of screenwash in your glove box !" Flipping rob dogs !

[@mrpete222]

Wow

[@Ervan-l9v]

Always the early bird. Nice rant especially with regards to auto dealers. The crimping tool for the file handles would be a swage tool but I'm sure you know that. Just commenting for the utube benefit. Have a good day. -1 here this AM.

[@johnb5519]

It's great to hear about the history of all these tools. I've got a few tools from my neighbors collection that were made by some American companies that are hard to find any info on. Yesterday I was cleaning up an old original Crescent wrench of my dads that was hanging in the drive shed, and I was thinking of you while I was doing it, so it's neat to see that old Crescent micrometer. I watched your video of where you showed the set of Suzuki small whole gauges you acquired at an auction, and my neighbor had the exact same set. It's hard to find good info on some of these Japanese companies too.

[@mrpete222]

👍👍

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

Wow! The complete set of change gears. Usually one or two, or all of them are missing. Quite the score there! I would love to see a video on those oilers.

[@donniee1934]

Good morning Mr. Pete. Thanks for another this and that and a good rant

[@davidhofman4341]

Years ago I bought a new VW Dasher diesel station wagon for my wife. A month later the right rear axle stub came loose. I tightened the bolts the best I could by the road. I took it to the shop where the mechanic used an impact to hammer the new bolts in. I asked the service manager for the bolts he just installed. I threw them into the trash can with a bang. I told him to torque another new set.

[@nomercadies]

Afternoon Lyle Looks like I can vote twice on your videos!

[@justinbrewer8408]

A series building that steam engine would be awesome! I may have to buy one now too and follow along, Have a great week.

[@hansschmidt1961]

I would have reported the cabin filter episode on the survey. Someone NEEDS to be fired for that. It is theft.

[@G1951-w1y]

Good morning, Mr. Pete. Put me down as interested in seeing how the oiler works. Re: the rant, I had purchased a piece of hot rolled, 7" diameter x 2" thick on Ebay, the price included free shipping. I went to the post office to pick it up and they told me there was $62 postage due because of the weight. After arguing for a while, they stated I could refuse it and they would ship it back to the seller. I told them to go ahead. So that 22# piece of iron went on a round trip from Pennsylvania to Texas and back due to their incompetence. End of my rant.

[@mrpete222]

That’s a real shame.

[@glennking8206]

Thank you Mr Pete from KC

[@stevedavey1343]

I'd love to have a couple of videos on those oilers Mr Pete. They look fascinating. Great video as always. One thing you can rely on is that your postal workers are overworked, understaffed and generally treated in line with the way the postal service senior management views them. Specifically, that they're resources to be used like they're of no consequence and just exist to ensure that senior management gets their bonuses. That's the world we live in. Oh and when I got the "How did we do?" email, I'd have phoned the dealership, asked to speak to the person you originally "corrected" and said "I've got this email and am about to describe my feelings accurately. Do you have anything you might like to tell me that may make me feel like what I said to you about the cabin filter is being followed up, or shall I just tell them that you personally were dishonest and unprofessional".

[@dkupy100]

A friend makes cakes for Xmas. She asked if I could mail one from Miami to Boston. Time was no priority so I boxed it in my own box and mailed it Ground Advantage (cheaper than Priority). I dropped it off at the Post Office on Xmas eve thinking it would take a week to 10 days. It was actually delivered 3 days later.This was during the Xmas holiday. A Xmas miracle.

[@mrpete222]

Wow!

[@binbashbuddy]

I already voted for seeing those oilers, but I'll try to sneak another vote in.

[@binbashbuddy]

The head of the Post Office is the Postmaster General of these United States AND the CEO of the US Postal Service. The title hasn't changed, the job just comes with two titles.

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

Another really interesting and informative video. Thank you Mr. Pete, we love your videos. P.S.: Your cabin air filter needs to be changed 🔥☀

[@emerycreek8016]

Those oilers are very interesting. Now that you showed it, of course, the one shot oiler is simple little manual version of those old timers. I wonder where else they were used.

[@ericday604]

The post office and car dealership are great examples of the moral degradation we have anymore. I try to stand up against it, and at the same time give attaboys when i get great service. Thank you Mr. Pete!

[@bcbloc02]

The shell casing file handles are very cool. I recently had a package from Indianapolis to Ky took 5 weeks. Better yet I received my Electric bill yesterday for December only came 10 days after it was due................. Good thing its set up to auto debt or they would have turned my electric off with it -10F outside.

[@britenrhodehouse8692]

Never ever trust the stealership. As long as I am able, convenient or not... I will do my own service work

[@mrpete222]

👍👍👍

[@mattomon1045]

i agree with you on the USPS it is a P O S !

[@MrHandyDad]

Great donations. "Dont make it like they used too"... Love the 20MM file handles. If I only knew... LOL

[@commenter4515]

Excited for the 6 inch course to come out

[@billbaletka7426]

Thank you.

[@WaltSzklarski]

Yes to oilers. Cabin filter and wiper blades are a standard ask.

[@hobbiesrus]

That is Trump appointee Bill DeJoy for the PO. Love it all Mr. Pete! Live long and prosper, good sir.

[@Airsofthonduras]

Love your rants.

[@dresdensvo]

Postal rant , Here in central Missouri , I just had a 8 day wait of no rural mail delivery . All routes handled by the mercedes mini vans were stopped due to snow {8 days}

[@inspector1794]

I have the same issue with air and cabin filters and dealer service. Each time I go they want to replace a $70 (not including installation) cabin air filter. With a straight face, they have said that the cabin filter is important to protect the delicate electronics in the car. Yet they have never cautioned me about driving with the windows or sun roof open. Filters are just one thing they push to enhance their profits. Dealer service is another sore subject with me. I guess sore subjects come with age or are we more willing to vent. Having broke the 70 barrier a couple of years ago I figure it's my duty to point things out. Thanks for leading the way.

[@daviddauphin-f4p]

I stayed just for the rants.

[@brianatbtacprod1989]

The 20mm casings for file handles are very cool. If you do put them on, they may need a rack so they are easy to use, and display. As far as the Post Master General, keep in mind, he is also high up in another shipping company, (maybe FedEx I can't remember), and would really like to put the post office out of business. I don't know why most of the post office board has their position on the board, because most of them have conflicts too. While I don't like what has been done to the Post Office by the rich, and clueless, I have been using them for my business for over 30 years, and am very impressed with their service, and their people. I may be able to count problems as a shipper on one hand. Thanks for your work over the years, no matter what you are doing it's always fun to watch, and I learn something.

[@sdrc92126]

[@ypaulbrown]

Always Great Lyle, Paul in Orlando

[@davidu4758]

Oh, Mr. Pete got the dealership two-step. I, too took my car to the dealer for regular oil changes and after about 20 minutes a voluptuous, long-haired agent appeared and presented a tatty, leaf-covered cabin air filter telling me it should be replaced. That was the second time. When I called her out on it because the leaves on that filter don't exist where I live. She got a little defensive, but just shy of impudent. I declined and she walked away unhappily.

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

Automotive works.... Once bought a second hand car 2-3 years old. One of the keys didn't work and tvey changed 2032 inside. No difference so they ordered a new key. When it arrived it needed to be coded into the system, a minute job.... After half an hour NO key worked and they had to keep the car there. The next day thecar was ready, with 3 working key! The guy behind the counter wanted me to pay like 350 USD...... No way I did. The sellers account had to pay the bill.... Once bought a stainless silencer system having a 10 year warranty. After one year all welds gave in. They said the warranty was only about corosion... A friend working there realized the absurd in the situation and gav me a free standard system..

[@DonSnyder-ev6yb]

I agree with you about dealerships and the post office. Have you had any dealings with contractors. For over 5 years I have been trying to have a 400 sq. ft. addition added to my house, three contractors ,an architect and a structural engineer later and it's still only about half done. Regards

[@pyrobrewer]

Cheers

[@jrose7771]

I had a problem with priority mail.Bought apart for my boat and it was two weeks late. I cancelled the order and when it finally came I sent it back.Why would a company send priority when UPS or Fed x does a much better job?

[@jonmoes-ij1xr]

Concerning your oiler’s proposed video :If You Build It, They Will Come - Field of Dreams (1989) 🗳️

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

I stayed for the extra credit rant. The postal service must have hired gorillas because I mailed two different priority packages and both got destroyed in shipping. One was a magneto I sent off for repair. It arrived at the repair shop smashed. The coil cover was crushed and it was a rare IH model on a Wico magneto. So now my repair bill will be doubled. It was insured but I am not confident I will be reimbursed even though the repair shop provided photos.🤬

[@johnmeissner8715]

Your story about the cabin filter isn't much unlike mine. We had the car serviced for whatever reason and they came into the waiting room to tell us that the filter needed changing as it was dirty. I promptly said "No Thanks" because they told me it would be another 80 dollars to change it out. We went home and I found an exact replacement at a local department store for 9 dollars. Oh! And the filter wasn't bad(dirty) at all.

[@joemcgarry1106]

I would have voiced complaint in the Toyota survey.

[@binbashbuddy]

I had two deer run into my just purchased Lincoln Town Car (2006 model) and insurance sent me to Joe's Collision to get it fixed. When they called and said it was done I went and looked at it, had 2 square spots on the lower panel with no paint, both about 1" square. I said what the heck is with that? He said because it wasn't deer damage they didn't fix it, I said that wasn't there when I brought it in, I have pictures of the danged door and the paint was fine even where the deer dented the door, he said he'd call Geico and get the repair authorized. I take the car home, find out the key fob doesn't work. When I went back and while we were talking about it the guy mentioned that they couldn't fix the original door so that was a new door. So why did they think those missing patches of paint were there before the deer hit me? Don't know which statements were lies, but obviously all of them can't be true.

[@mrpete222]

This makes my blood boil!

[@davidpidgeon7320]

Don't hold back .

[@samclemens2916]

Your USPS rant hit me hard, and I think some of your problem is local. Carol Stream is host to a number of service centers processing credit card and utility payments. A few weeks ago I mailed a dozen payments on the same day and ALL payments going to Carol Stream took - you guessed it- 5 weeks to arrive.

[@likeiam6610]

Is this Tuesday? Morning Lyle (nomercadies/Sixtenths/and others.

[@ggreenlee19]

Let’s see you show how the oilers work.

[@sartorst3376]

Yeah I worked at a Honda dealership we saw those type things all the time. When I would get a ticket to replace something that wasn't needed and I asked the younger guys who had recommended it they would say the boss is on our ass to sale more??? I pulled a ticket that the brakes were marked red for wear after my inspection they were like new so I tell the service writer who said that she had already sold them to just go ahead l said no ! I see her go to the mangers office after some exchange of words she walks straight out to me and tells me that they are pulsating and to do them what do you do ?? Then I get the cold shoulder from them for months 😢

[@Blackopsmechanic338]

Forgot, I would love to see the oilers rebuild.

[@jkyontz]

I heard Bubba works at Post Office now 😊

[@CharlieTx]

I will never trust anyone to touch my vehicle. If I'm getting tires I watch every step or I won't buy tires from them. Our mail used to be great until the mail lady we had for years finally had enough and quit. Now I get things marked delivered dayd before it shows up. Mail box theft is bad too in area. I've got pictures of the two people in a white truck doing it and the post office and sherrifs office doesn't care and won't do anything about it

[@Peter_Nottle]

dont let the dealership get away with overcharging and next time find a reputable private shop to do your maintenance

[@ckvasnic1]

The Toyota dealership…. The filter is simply a part of generating revenue…. That most people would fall for…. Next they will tell you the engine air filter needs to be changed and that it the dirty one is hurting fuel economy…. Which is not true…. It will hurt max performance a touch…. You may not win all the Saturday night drag races you are accustomed to winning tho…. All the best. Chuck

Hi Mr Pete, the arrogant man in the photo is Louis DeJoy who wants to privatize our government Postal Service. Big mistake for that to happen. Have a great day

[@jima2570]

I typically give a bad review/survey response detailing what my complaint is. I think that's fair when they do not do the work claimed to have been done.
