I thought working on an American car would be easy. This car is a brute! | LS Harmonic Balancer
Today we're removing the harmonic balancer, or crankshaft pulley, from this 2005 CTS-V. Harmonic balancer failures is a well known fault of LS engines. Oddly enough, the LS engine doesn't have a keyway for the crank pulley. The harmonic balancer on this LS6, is starting to wobble and it's the perfect time to replace the worn balancer.

Let's try removing the seats, deep cleaning the carpet and using a steam cleaner for the air vents. The average cost to detail a sedan is $225 and $250 for SUVs. You can easily save half by doing the work yourself. ► Subscribe: ...

How idiotic. Some of us are older or disabled and unable to climb back there. Also, I bought the vehicle to haul stuff. It's loaded, so I couldn't reach that area even if I could get back there. Why are the people who design this stuff so pointless?

What are the symptoms of a bad EGR valve? Could it be the reason my '08 MDX is throwing an SH-AWD warning light and when I check the power distribution screen it shows there's no power going to the rear wheels.

Best video of the MODERN throttle body, and wire testing! I'm going to subscribe CarsNToys channel now, thank you!
Those are jis screws not Phillips
Great video and straight to the point! My fan never turned on. I did have the cap on too tight though. Not sure whatwent wrong there.
Was sitting in Starbucks line, ac running, smelled a burnt smell, and ac stopped blowing cold. Replaced relay, started ac and something immediately started howling. Turned off immediately. Guessing the clutch bearing went bad and blew the relay?
Excellent video
Great tutorial my friend! Which spark plugs did you install?

Nice work man, I enjoy watching your videos.

I buy filters based on quality, not 'mileage' since I change oil more frequently than 10 or 15k. BUT, I really don't need to change the filter every time if I get one of the better ones? I think I learned by alternating filter changes but fell into the filter and oil change everytime, valid for the cheaper filters, but the better ones probably can alternate intervals, right?
I did the same change but when i replaced the oil, its not showing on the dip stick an its stuttering
hello, doesn't this car has a cvt oil filter?
Thanks for step by step making it simple while others go fast in explaining and we ended up with confused ❤👍

Hi there, my 2010 f150 is working on high speed but I already replaced the resistor and still work on high speed, if you have any suggestions where I should check, please help me out ❤
Subarus arent really harder to work on than any other car when it comes to balljoints. The only gotcha is that damn pinch bolt that likes to snap. So if youre in the rust belt, do your research before attmepting
How is it that there is no rust on the bolts. I'm having a heck of a time getting that brake line bolt out.
You literally saved me a transmission if this works my guy. I was almost sure it was shot until I realized I'm shifting and getting into gear just fine (hit 80). I also had no check engine light when I took to mechanic. He even told me it was shot. But there was NO check engine lights when I dropped it off. But when I picked it up there was, This was a month ago(It literally sat for a month smh). I just checked them today randomly lmao 08 lancer: P0841 code for others it might be P0840 or both like me! He described from 4:58 on exactly what I experienced. I will be purchasing it tonight. I will come back for the result!
most fly "drive" by wire throttle bodys have at least 2 TP sensors and the ECM "computer" monitors both plus two more TPs on the gas pedal..if any of those 4 TPs are out of range the ECM will put the car in limp mode "no power" or very limited power. This keeps the throttle body from getting you killed should it malfunction and you can't control the speed of the engine!
What are the wires called?
Good video thank you!
No way, really? This is how you adjust a torque wrench? That's all there is to it? Wow!!! I have like 5 of the clicker type torque wrenches. I'm gonna go test ALL of them RIGHT NOW!
Great video, thank you very much!
You checked that it was not stuck closed which is 50% of the function, but not that it aint stuck open. The hissing sound i only get when turning engine off (and slightly turning it on), both on my old and a brand new valvle on a ctr fn2 worked like this Both create the same vacuum, means valve aint stuck closed. But the old one cause a loud rattling sound (as if colbistion vavles are out of adjustment) while the new one only cause a very faint rattling sound from the valve, which comes from the spring and vacuum constantly opening and closing the valve (the loud rattling is the first sign of worn vavle or actually worn spring) If i clamp the hose, both valves go quiet so my old one wasnt totally done i guess, but the loud rattling points to the spring being too short or have lost its spring effect from constant work over the years. Oddly if sucking the vavles with my mouth, the old one sealed totally ahut while the new ine leaked. Possibly from oil helping with the seal unless i got a defective one from Honda.
Who ever designed this phuc fest should be fired.
This is insane, hopefully my lights go out .
Not to be pedantic, but T30 is not an Allen key. My Haynes manual also said to use an Allen, so there I was, trying to find the proper size Allen key, and chalked up the looseness to some of the metal rusting away. I rounded out the keyway, so I used a grinder to cut it out. Wasted tons of time, had to get a ride to the parts store, had to buy a new part that I hadn't planned on replacing, and ended up missing work the next day because the job wasn't done and my car was still up on blocks. I bought a new one, with an obvious Torx keyway, and checked the old undamaged bolt, that I also cut out instead of fighting it again, and the Torx was a perfect fit. Allen is a hexagonal bit. The typical wrench used that we associate with it is an 'L-wrench', which may cause some confusion due to the similar phonetics. The Torx, or star bit, also comes as an L- wrench.
You just contaminated the whole A/C system! You didn’t purge out the air in the hose before inserting refrigerant! Never allow air into a/c systems!
What size is are the scond set of bolts?
The synthetic media seems to hold up quite well with or without the metal screen. The cheap paper filters, probably not so much, at least with longer change intervals or running your vehicles at high RPM's. The bottom line is it's worth it to get a higher quality oil filter.
Totally agree about the high-quality oil filters. Why not spend just a little more and get a superior filter.
