He hit the silver car forcing it into the tractor trailer's path. The truck attempted to avoid them while the silver car came all the way across and hit the center guard rail to then be spun around by the passing truck. We immediately called 911 ...

Yes, with due credits AND I ask that you simply come back here and post a link to your compilation video in another comment. Others have promised to do the same and then failed to follow through. I think that I may have to start sending copyright strikes if that simple request isn't satisfied. Appreciate you asking!

You saved my bacon bro.. No matter how many pictures you think is enough, take more!. Needed a good diagram of the vacuum setup and found diddly squat that was helpful.. Thank you!
wack it and done. waste of time no mechanic is guna waste time doing this...
I spent a couple days hammering and banging. No luck. It bought this (with a discount coupon), and it separated.
The music was unnecessary and unprofessional.
@@okboomer6201 I hope the content itself was to your liking.
Good video,I have a 2001 and cannot find a filter like that in the back of the tranny.
This video would have been WAY better had you demoed how to REMOVE the broken clamp. I'm having a time getting the broke one off.
Fair enough. Hopefully it is pretty self explanatory to just do the opposite of installing a new one by popping out the broken portion of the old one.
@@WorseThanChiggers I'll try to ignore your condescension. I've tried that. It's not coming off. Do you have the door half open to remove? Flat head, needlenose pliers or what? Thanks.
No condescension intended. Try a small flat bladed screwdriver to get under the edge and it should pop straight out. Truthfully, seeing how a new one goes in does help do you know how it should come out.
Thank you. When I bought it, I figured it out and your video confirmed it. Just can't pop it off the pin. And when I applied pressure seemed like door was moving. Didn't want to cause more $ problems. Thank you, sir.
For the battery tray, did the group 35 tray have the built-in plastic hooks to snap in the harness? The tray changed for the 06 and 07 model year and I went with that but it does not have the hooks built-in for the harness. The part numbers are the same except for the last three digits. A00 vs A10 for 06 and 07.
The battery tray is the metal part permanently affixed to the car,. So I assume that you're actually asking about the battery box part #31521-SDB-A00. Mine did have the built-in plastic clip for the wiring harness as can be seen in the video at around the 5:09 mark. For whatever reason, I didn't click the harness back into that clip during that segment of the video though I did it later off camera. The diagrams that I found online for both versions of the battery box assembly looked identical. www.bernardiparts.com/Honda-BOX-BATTERY-70D__31521-SDB-A00.aspx
I'm leaving a comment on the video to say do not ever attempt to change the transmission filter it totaled my vehicle out attempting to change it so I'm having to lose a very expensive van it will now be parted out or have to go to the junkyard due to attempt on the transmission filter
I can't see that simply changing the filter could ever cause a vehicle to be totaled. That, of course, assumes the procedure was performed properly and that there were no other unrelated issues occurring at the same time. I honestly think that you were just unlucky and the timing of those two events occurred simultaneously. That generation of Honda Odyssey was notorious for transmission problems, anyway.
This is actually beautiful. It’s so hard to wait for winter to come back!
where do you live?

Oh my god ! Can’t thank you enough . My Suzuki Grand Vitara has a sticking petrol cap . It’s really annoying , I have focussed on the cable pull and couldn’t see why the cap didn’t spring opened as it seemed ok . The answer was a dodgy spring , bent that into shape and it’s working a dream . Thank you Sir .

@@charliefellenbaum9492 thanks for the kind of comments. I really appreciate it.
Excellent video, I found it satisfactory, I also upgraded the AcDelco brand battery to my 2011 Honda Fit Sport, because the one it comes with is too small, I think Honda uses small batteries to save costs. Greetings from El Salvador
Odyssey had problems with the early 99 to 2002 to 2003 and they invented a tube connection that goes on the end of that black cylinder filter. It's so tight I'm not going to touch it. According to the dealership it's not even serviceable and not necessary and it's just a magnet. If you want a filter order one off eBay and put it on the cooller line going to the radiator. The line is closest to the driver side wheel.
Cup wants to give a snow of this too, but it seems not 😢😢

How important are the head bolt washers? My kit I got came with everything but those washers.
@@commanderTL I'd use a set that closely matches the OEM. Without the washers, how can you be confident that the torque settings are being measured correctly?
@@WorseThanChiggers Would the old washers work? Without the washers what could happen to the engine?
@@commanderTL It's hard to say. Using the washers may shorten their useful length. Without using the washers, the friction between the bolt and the cylinder head might be different and would affect your application of proper torque. Note that I am very conservative by nature. If it was me, I wouldn't want to risk using substandard bolts for such an important step.
❤thk for this video clip
Since you have all that apart you may as well take off the solenoid that's on that side it's for 2nd gear. Test the solenoid directly on the battery. And clean out those two small little filters. They're about the size of a pencil eraser. I notice a lot of guys on car forums are using synthetic Valvoline MaxLife ATF. From Walmart. $26 a gallon. I believe you need three and a half quarts. According to the experts always check it when it's warm and turn off the engine
the auto parts store showing me two different styles of transmission filters. I have a 2002 Odyssey. One style is wrong just as you have shown here and the other is flatter and odd shape. Edit: the only filter on the transmission is the black cylinder on top under behind the battery. The dealership says do not service it. It's just a magnet. If you want to filter you have to order one off eBay like the magnifine. Or a cheaper one. Install the new filter on the closest to the front wheel driver side.
The wrong kind of carits a chevsuberea
I'll tell you what. I've just got a motor for my 97 Toyota Dakota. It was just like yours. I'm in things will get just like yours. Same color it's a single cab. Full drum found speed. The same d*** colored, but I got a motive. For $200, cheap as hell and it looks like they have rebuilt the whole entire thing. I aint really looked at the. The heads aren't or anything like that. I looked at the injectors and The current shaft and time in everything like that but it smokes a little bit and it has a hot auto I can't get the owl go down for the laugh of me. I don't know what's wrong with it. I think it could just need new plugs. And copax and wires, I'm not for sure, but I know whenn I first got it and I pulled the sport plugs out of it. It had a little bit of gunk On the smart plug, it looks like dry up. Oh so I cranked it over a couple of times you know, to get the mother all nice and looped up again that way I can see, if I hear anything before I crank it, they said it just smoked a little bit when I first fired it up said for 30 minutes, it never smoked a lick. The next day smokes like a train head gas gotzer brand new. It seems like like every gasket on this motor is brand new. It seems like I was thinking maybe they had something and didn't know it. I don't know, it's kind of creepy when you open it up and. Dionystic, it looks like everything's been redone, but I let it sit for a good. While and I think honestly, they just forgot about it but other night it runs gwhat song, is it smoking? And is yours a metallic blue and purple? I can't really see it clearly about half blind. It seems like, but it looks like the same as that color is mine, sorry for the long message. And I hope somebody can give me some pointers about something with it. And it's a beautiful truck, bro seriously, I aint never gotten stuck with mom. I'll tell you what and I'm always there, helping people out of the ditch and everything like that I aint never had a problem and I've pulled some big trucks too.
Good video. I haven't done it yet but I think I'm going to tie a very long string to the wheel end on the hose before I start pulling it back through the car. Then after getting the hose out, I'm going to tie the string to the new hose to feed it back. Only doing this to make sure that I'm routing the new hose correct.

Thank you dr Phil
First of all awesome series....just started working on replacing the 2 heads in mine and had a quick question. You mentioned you had to do a valve adjustment at the end of Part 6. Could you clarify that please. You mention another video but I didn't see it here, not sure if you had that. Thanks really appreciate all your mechanic and video work on this series.
Thanks for the kind comments. I really appreciate it. Congrats on taking on this project. Let me know how it goes and how your experience compares to mine. The link to that valve adjustment video is in the description of my part 6 video. There may be newer ones out there by now that you could look for. Here it is again: czcams.com/video/08ia1PIgFz8/video.html
@@WorseThanChiggers Thanks for the vote of confidence and honestly would not have done it without your video. So I will be taking out the heads tomorrow. I know I have exhaust bleeding over to my cooling system on Cylinder 6, but since I have 260K miles I am just going to do both sides. Also will probably get 2 new/remanufactured ones since I really don't have a good machine shop I can trust where I am. I have owned this '96 Tacoma for 26 years now (easy to remember because that's the year I got married: 1998) so it's my baby and I try to do everything I can on it myself. Will definitely keep you posted on progress!!

I have a Toyota Venza 2013. I tried this but my gas door still doesn't open. Is there a way to open it from the inside of my vehicle? I saw another video showing all Toyotas have another way to pull a plastic cord from the inside in the rear, but my car doesn't have that.
You'll first have to research whether your gas door latch is actuated by a cable or electrically. Do you have a mechanical lever or an electrical button for that purpose in the cabin?
@@WorseThanChiggersIt turned out it was a broken cable, unfortunately not the spring. A mechanic managed to pry it open with a special tool. Didn't even charge me. I barely made it to the garage on empty. Rigged it up to stay open because I don't want to spend the money to fix the cable.
@@BonnieSmith-dn3tj At least you now know what the problem is. Nice that he didn't charge you for the work-around.
@@WorseThanChiggers thank you for responding. Great video by the way.
I installed everything the same way but when I went to put the radiator pins back in the pins went into nothing . But everything is on right
Back again to say thank you this video saved me . After you do it it’s a lot easier than it looks.. thanks again. For anyone who has a Cabrio .. I ended up have 4 bolts to take off on the radiator bracket . Great video
Amazing, thank you. You just saved me at least £100
nostalgia... man i wish i could go back to those times
noticed when you started the job fuel tank was under a quarter and it was full when done. good job.
Haha. Good eye! It's a little known fact that fixing a simple wiring problem can result in a full tank of fuel. :)
I shut my car off . The fan never stopped spinning even after an hr of it cooling down . Was fine the last few times I seen it turn on and off. You think this is the Coolant sensor on the radiator failing ? I took my plug out and liquid came out
The battery completely died also
No doubt if the fan never stopped running. You need to check why power is continuing to be fed to the fan. Start by testing the coolant temperature sensor.
@@WorseThanChiggers I don’t even know how to test it. Bought a new one for 11$ since I’m changing the radiator I’ll just change that also
I recommend researching how to test components and perform other simple diagnostic procedures. Otherwise, you can end up replacing parts unnecessarily without confirming the root cause of a problem. You could have a bad fan relay or something else going on which would be important to confirm first. Think about it logically. If the fan is running continuously, it is receiving power. Work your way back through that system to see where the power is coming from. If it goes through a relay, test and confirm that the relay is good. If so, test what is commanding the relay to close.
@@WorseThanChiggers also what I’m struggling with is my car is a 95 cabrio . You said the two 13 bolts in the front reflector . But I’m not sure if it’s the same for me . I see 8 bolts down here . ( bumper is off )
I just wanted to comment and express my sincere gratitude and thanks for you putting this video series together. My wife and I just finished her head gasket fix on her 99 4Runner and we couldn’t have done it without this. This series not only gave us the step by step process but the confidence to even attempt it ourselves. Out of all the videos on swapping head gaskets out there this is by far the best. An fyi for anyone out there looking to do this: there are slight differences between the engines and model years. Ours is a 99 and we noticed several places where our particular engine didn’t match up with the one in the video. It threw us off at first but quickly realized his was a 95 and ours is 4 years newer.
Thanks for those very kind comments. I really appreciate it! Congrats to you and your wife on a job well done.
hows the gasket going to this point is the engine still running ? how many KMS/miles has it done then and now
It was still running great at 255,000 miles when, sadly, I had to sell it due to the dreaded frame rust problem that plagued early Tacomas. It failed to pass our state's annual safely inspection. RIP, trusty old friend.
