    Your videos have helped me out a lot. I have zero knowledge of mechanics, and I replaced my upper radiator hose, and my bypass hose. Unfortunately I'll have to take it to a buddy, who has more knowledge, since I have a leaking freeze plug! Looking forward to future videos on the Dodge.

    Not a bad video, basically what I do with two differences. 1) Shop vac, connect to the inlet pull vacuum while you take off the the drain plug, you don't get any oil out till you shut off the vacuum. Lazy way to keep clean. 2) Do you not have grease joints on the Drive shafts anymore? I have a 2nd gen Tacoma and I lube them up every time I change the oil. I also do 5k miles or 6 months which ever comes first (use to be 3 months or 5k miles, but I don't drive near as much with my new job).

    Great video on the tools that you use back in the day when I was in my twenties Craftsman were the best but I don't even know where you get them anymore I came across a socket set of met ranch then I still useto this day I got mine at a garage sale and I remember those were really expensive but I got to say they're worth the money because it makes life a lot easier when you don't have to go searching for a metric or standard socket you can just use one socket for both

      Makes sense because they weren’t great until recently. I don’t use air tools that often but every time I do I love them. I might use an pneumatic impact more in the future. My air compressor is a 26 gallon. Not awesome but big enough for most jobs.

    These are great diy units and it looks like people made some small recommendations to ensure your drain worked and there were no leaks. But anyone reading this please put your heat pump on a stand so if you have leftover pipe you can put it horizontally underneath. Having the role stand up that way vertically behind the unit causes areas for the oil that is added to the gas to collect. After some time this can be a cause of issues that include your compressor breaking down.
