Toyota OEM wax kit: 27 YO does it still work??
I was going through the trunk on my 27 year old Toyota Corolla and found the OEM wax kit that came with the car. It was still factory sealed and in the trunk since the day it was purchased. I wanted to see if it was still good enough to protect the paint. This car has mostly factory paint, it had one minor accident about 13 years ago that required a right front fender and it was color matched to the car. The remainder of the car is all factory paint.

Hanging Dragging pulling Drum Brakes
zhlédnutí 129Před 14 dny
Over time I have noticed that the Drum brakes on my 54 Ford weren't working as good as they once had. I was feeling it pull to one side when I would stop and would have to compensate by steering the opposite direction when braking. So in this video we tear them down and get into whats going on and what I did to fix it.

S10 327 swap: update,first oil change, Howards cams ZPM max
zhlédnutí 71Před 28 dny
So its got a few hundred miles on her now and its time for the first oil change. Since we are running the Howards cam wih a no fault warranty with the one I chose, they require you to use their ZDDP additive ZPM Max. We used it during break in and again on this first oil change. We will be using it on every oil change for the life of the engine.

zhlédnutí 442Před 28 dny
Well we ge the final few things wrapped up to draw this build to a "close" for now at least. we cover the exhaust, additional cooling and add a cowl hood. So far its running like a top, I can only hope and pray it stays that way and the flat tappet cams lives a long happy life.
S10 327 swap keeping it cool

We get to work setting up the radiator, the hoses, the transmission cooler lines fans and controller. There is a good bit of work to get it set up correctly, it makes it all worth while when it works correctly the first time you test it.

My father in law worked for fedex for 32 years and retired. He has expressed the same sentiments in this video.
@@thefirerises436 hope you can show it to him. Thanks for watching.
I worked for FedEx in the late '80s as a field service tech installing/repairing Powership computers in companies and FedEx station systems... dummy terminals, fax machines, and alarm systems running around in those Astro vans. It was a great job!
@@Twolife yes sir it was great when I started all those year ago too. Thanks for watching.
This is true this is why revisions are needed every 3 months
They hire people who can barely put their own pants on by themselves and have managers who are incompetent.
FedEx could be such a good organization, but they're a joke from top to bottom. Management is generally incompetent at all levels.
Come back to diesel mechanic and now try ev mechanics start a repair channel , you got skills
@@tonytoes2 click on my channel and look at what I do. Thanks
That's what you get for $20hr
@@teaadvice4996 probably not even that. At one time unless things have changed ( and they may have) it was 100 a day.
@RealWorldGarage brutal. Are u in the south? Because in California 100 is homeless
So glad you landed on your feet! I lost a 10-yr textile job back in 02 that I loved. I was a company man and didn't realize how much of my identity was tied up in that place. It took years of bouncing around to somewhat get it back together. It wasn't a skilled job - wish I'd have gone that route. So glad you're not haunted like I was. God is good!
@@edgardeese I was for a few months. It’s rough starting over. God is good. 👍
This is why being in a union is essential for working people!
@@ericwagner318 I’ve worked in union jobs and non-union. There are positives and negatives on both sides. Unions don’t stop companies from changing their business models.
wow don't want to move but want to be a mechanic? go back to running freight then. mechanic work is bad for your health and underpaid, maybe start your own shop and contract with the truck owners directly? most places fedes doesn't own the vehicles anyhow.
he says this from inside of a fedex terminal.
Thanks, definitely a rare design flaw of Toyota. Hopefully they will put setting back to where it was in previous years. Such a great car year over year for doing almost zero tweaking.
Question. Just changed head gasket and timing chain. Starts fine but starts revving at high rpm. Throttle has no effect. Any idea? Any help will be appreciated
Still doing better than me n a lot of other people.
That’s what you get when you value profit over people. It will continue to get worse
In this life, we’re just a number..
There’s no wonder why people don’t trust there employers. Why should they!
Profit, service, people
Whats the degree
I'm happy for you, sir. Your legacy will live on teach those new cats That you're working with at your new job
Making 28 years in any one company in this era is unusual.
I was a member of two completely different teamsters locals. One for 7up in Conshohocken PA & running a machine at a medical packaging company. Both companies gave us horrible contracts at the threat of closing down & moving away. They both did move away within 3 years of that contract. 7up closed their doors and kept out last payroll check & vacation pay. It took union 5 years to get me two weeks vacation i was due. The union did nothing for members to get other job's in both cases. We paid all those dues for absolutely nothing.
Just started the video. No idea but I’m guessing they fired you for making too much money and it was probably via email. And I guarantee not many people at frdex knew or cared. It’s a cold workplace out there.
@@deangulberry1876 fired for making to much money 😂😂 you’re cute.
The fex ex people were smashinf packsges not caring
It is a cronic situation - companies have no loyalty to their employees because of the requirement to pay ever higher dividends to those who in reality, contribute nothing tangible to that corporation. Best of luck to you and yours
You look amd sound like a good man either way. God Bless you and your family ❤
My mom retired from her bank telling job in 1988 with a big party, beautiful gifts & profit sharing...those day are gone! Then a big, corporate bank bought it out.
Yeah I remember when FEDEX used to do all of that too. Thanks for commenting
@@RealWorldGarage I just retired after 25 yrs. with same homecare co.; no thank you, good-bye, or kiss my .....:/
Do you feel it has the power to get the lug nuts tight?
@@mrswolls I do, but I still recommend checking them by hand with a torque wrench. It could get them too tight, depending on the application.
@@RealWorldGarage good to know, thanks.
And now our station hired someone with no experience and is training them to be a mechanic. Absolutely no experience!!
@@ledwasp3001 it’s going to be hard to hire experienced people if they find out what they did to us. The job had become micro managed, they’re using a system that is ridiculously complicated to pay and reconcile bills, I’m surprised we have any vendors that will provide us any parts or services.
They always sucked, damaged so much freight had to switch to Holland but now they’re gone.
@@billloffler8637 express used to be a premium service and once they bought RPS and formed ground it began to dilute the brand and bring it down. It’s so ridiculous now what they allow with the Ground side of the delivery service that would have never been tolerated at Express
Sorry to hear about your difficulties but this is the perfect example of what union busting does for the corporate greed factories run by Wall Street, we need to bring back the teamsters now!!!!
That won’t stop them changing the business model.
i havent been since 2013. i am due. i hope to make it a day. 2024. i will make it 2025..👍🏽
I’m registered for 24’
@RealWorldGarage well my mom past 2023 Dec. I've been going through the process grieving and estate. I didn't think about it until last week. so I know I can ride through anytime during the week. but 2025 I'll do 3 to 4 days of it.
@@cjjonez condolences for your mom. 🙏🏼 check in with me next year. If you have a car, I do interviews with car owners to tell me about your ride. I have a lot of them on my channel.
@RealWorldGarage lol I got a 2018 versa....I would love to show up 2025 in a Ford E150 00s-15 high top van... thanks for the concern. much respect to you.
❤️❤️❤️ we need mechanics!!! For everything that rolls!!! Everything!!! They always DO that- change the CEO before they start the changes.
@@bonniegettingthrumyday2866 his son was in line to take over, but I’m of the opinion that he didn’t want what was about to go down on the Smith name.
🙏🙏🙏 so sorry for you experiencing this. God bless you. Don’t take it too hard. Billions have lived it. Remember it’s 2024. Just 2 yrs ago the young people just walked out of jobs- just walked! They Know to take care of themselves. You do the same now.
Good job on the tutorial!
Hope it helped you!! Thanks
I’m happy for you finding a new job. This isn’t your story; it is the story of people all over this nation. Corporate greed and a government that sanctions it. Good Luck and don’t be loyal to any company. Milk the cow till it runs dry, then find another cow. 🐄
Your rambling on about something that anyone with a brain knows, big companies don't give one let alone two shits about anyone. The bottom line is all they care about, not the people. If these companies could legally use slaves they would.
You are never guaranteed anything unless you own it.
@@ja1a100 not even then.
I love it when a plan comes together, Good to hear your are happy.
@@jeanvaljohn3921 thank you!!! Blessings to you and yours!!
I haven't had any trouble with fed ex. But I try very hard to use and ask for ups. My problem is the damn post office. They suck
Beautiful house
@@thomaswilson8634 thanks.
Fuck fedex after 5 yrs of service. Fedex TRASHHH
Fedex is trash without fred smith
@@joycharles1055 well he’s actually still around, he just has almost no controlling voice. But you are correct. My theory is the board of directors were pushing for this change and it had gotten to the point he couldn’t put it off any longer. So he didn’t want this under his watch and that’s why he stepped down.
😢😢
@@copperlocks1 it all turned out ok.
well this is a good reason to develop a skill
These kids today need to learn that lesson EARLY. I found employment very easily. Much happier now too.
I'm glad that you found a place to go hope your safe and happy
@@markstegeman5986 I am indeed much happier. Thank you for the well wishes!!!
There is a Greek saying that when one door closes another one opens. I have experienced just that leaving a toxic good paying job. Good for you! Prayers all around you and your family!
@@henrymorgan3982 many thanks, I’m enjoying my new job most definitely!!
You should have worked for UPS, much better benefits all around
@@NiechZyjePolska48 well I didn’t have that opportunity, and the pay was really good as a mechanic for FedEx. 🤷♂️ it was how they decided to pull out on us that I had the issues with. No union in the world can stop how a company sets up or changes it’s business model.
congrats
This is sad to watch I work for express in New Orleans and a couple months back they sent me and a couple other drivers to come and take trucks from a station out of Jackson,MS it felt so sad seeing what the company is doing to us and I honestly feel like we're next
Yep, indeed. MOBA mechanic has already closed down their shop and he’s gone. I’m not exactly sure when the drivers are done, that may have already taken place by now too. JANA was my home for 19yrs, the trucks you picked up were ours.
@@RealWorldGarage our managers been saying that they have been over worked with pick ups because it's not enough workers for the express side to deal with all off the pick ups that come in
