I am a 75-year-old Veteran with one arm and I have a little leak I took it undone and was going to fix the leak with F-4 Tape but the leak was under the clamp So I will have to replace the Line and after watching your video I think 🤔 that I will give it a try and I will Save the video for Reference. I Really appreciate 🙏🏻 how you explain how US Newbies can fix things for a Better Price 👍🏻🇺🇸❣️🤠

Yes this video is still relevant today. Popped up at the top of my search to address an old truck my daughter is looking to sell. Easy to follow, and properly detailed. Speaking of details. They say the devil's in the details, and it is obvious you are a good mechanic by being attentive to even the small details. Thanks for the quality video for us many do-it-yourself KZbin mechanics.

Thank you for the nice comment, I appreciate you watching

[@azarahwagner2749]

I appreciate your content because you are down to earth ,not like the majority of content creators . Oh , I’ve done my fair share of power steering repairs on cars , mostly high pressure hoses and pumps . I live in Canada so our winters get bad , and a big problem here is when ice builds up in the wheel well and rubs the tires . People don’t know but forcing your steering with ice build up creates very high resistance in the high pressure lines breaking them . Wishing you and your family the best Keep up the great content 😉

[@themechanic6117]

That definitely makes sense. The snow packed into the wheels causing weird problems and that's when I start getting calls saying there's something wrong with the wheel or the brakes . Thank you for the comment and always watching 👍

I enjoy your content because of your video style, and humor. You’re a down to earth person, you aren’t “acting” like some others do on the internet. It’s refreshing to watch a content creator who doesn’t feel like a programmed robot pumping out lifeless videos for views. Also, I like seeing cars get repaired, so even better :) keep doing what you’re doing!

I subscribed early on to your channel and ALWAYS click "like" because you go out of your way to post excellent quality videos that are enjoyable to watch. Unlike Scotty K., you don't SCREAM at us or go into self righteous diatribes like The Car Wizard. You are low key, funny, knowledgeable, and most of all... HONEST. I respect you and if you lived closer, I wouldn't trust anyone else with my car. Keep up the good work! I always look forward to each new video.

[@themechanic6117]

Thank you for the comment. I no longer watch Scotty and I never liked the car wizard because the prices he throws around are crazy. I remember a while back he said some front stabilizer links need to be replaced on a Cadillac and he said some stupid price of like $200-$300 .... excuse me? $300 for front stabilizer links? I charge $50 for labor and both front end links should cost somewhere around $100 , sometimes less . That's when I knew I couldn't watch that channel because it's upsetting. He must be catering to people who have money to waste .

Never heard of that person but I'm not surprised. The wizard guy talks about $300-$400 repairs like it's chump change. That's big money in my area . Uncommon for me to get a $400 job here . I got people that look at me weird when I tell them the bill is $65 . Yeah it took only one of wizards videos for me to realize I can't watch this. I feel sorry for the people who think paying $300 for two front stabilizer links is ok.

That entire underhood is filthy. Sprayer, 1 qt kerosene, 1 qt ATF, 1/4 cup Dawn, 2 quarts water. Spray all down heavily. Soak overnight. Pressure rinse. Tire shine spray all when dry, helps keep dust & dirt off. Protects hoses & plastic from Ozone corrosion. Make a video, include with others.

[@themechanic6117]

There's a different line that goes to the power steering

[@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP]

Think of it as a "video maintenance journal". Before selling it- burn all of your repairs to a DVD. It's more believable than telling someone "Well, I fixed XYZ, blah, blah, blah that nobody believes. The OEM part didn't "out live the vehicle" did it? Stop listening to Trolls. If OEM had CRC you'd never replace. Proof of repair increases resale value.

[@themechanic6117]

Yes almost all repairs on this pick up have been documented on video. So I agree with you and yes there's no reason to pay more money for the same part that will function just as well. It's just a pipe and hose. When the fuel pump module went bad you better believe I got a oem part
