Wow You are a trooper I live in Florida and look for any excuse not to work on my car and you're out in the middle of a snowstorm You're amazing
When it's my own car it be that way too...
@@RoadsideRescue thats not the her car
Snow storm no problem but windy and wind chill will freeze your hands.
You make me feel like such a wimp. If it gets below 50 degrees my fingers stop working! 😂😂
I usually quote incidental parts if I think they might need to be replaced. It's tough working on old shit boxes because sometimes you don't even know what might break upon disassembly.
I would think people would be willing to pay a little more to have old hoses replaced while doing those gaskets. My daughter got charged way too much money from two dealerships for hardly doing anything to her car probably because it was a '99. One dealerships even called her and said they couldn't get it started.. The car was good because after I replaced the water pump it made it from Utah to Arizona when it was 118 degrees there. Another local shop said they would replace the whole cooling system. That means they didn't even check to see if the water pump had a leak. It didn't because I checked it when I got there. It's hard to find a good mechanic willing to work on old cars so good for you.
Because they're pieces of 💩. Also, why are you surprised about getting ripped off by a dealer? Why would you even take it there?
I see it all the time. just changing everything!
Man I understand how you feel when you about to start a car after doing some work ! Great job
I have been following you for over 3 years
Thanks for the support!
Simple rules to follow especially for older cars. If i have to remove it, and it has a gasket, it gets a new gasket. If its older or e85 car, warn the owner of plastic and rubber parts becoming very brittle, cracking, or disintigrated, due to the corn mixture in the fuel and or age. Those parts may need to be replaced due to just touching them will destroy them no matter how gentle or careful you are with them. So the cost may become higher due to these issues and to prepare for this. This also includes wireing repairs especially with cars that use wireing made of soy oil.
Man that’s a ton of work.
I hope you’re getting your moneys worth.
Well done!
Thanks! It was more work than expected!
Good mechanics are like Superheroes!!
A piece of heat shrink tube would have fixed the end of that dry rotted hose right up for u.. I've done that a hundred times, works like a charm.
I’ve been a mechanic since I was 14 professionally for almost 30 years and I enjoy this video bro that’s the way to do it man you don’t throw a handful of parts at something and then go all go and get another handful of parts and throw it good good job manI subscribe to your channel maybe two weeks ago and I enjoy everyone that comes up
Thanks! It's a blast!
Nice work, any time you remove the upper intake to change valve cover gaskets it’s a good idea to change the upper intake gasket too.
As an electrician I worked outside a lot( services and such ). When I got older I just couldn't stand the cold anymore. I admire your work ethic, "get 'er done" !
Welcome to my world I’ve been a heavy Equiptment mechanic for 42 years in the northeast you take the nice weather with the bad it part of the job.
It's always nice when those gasket/seals go in so easy and fit perfectly
Fel-Pro is getting GOOD!
i have used thick heat shrink on those ends to repair those hoses where they don't leak
good idea
I away back my Rendezvous up (My mobile mechanic vehicle, open the back hatch, and throw up a tarp with a few magnets to hold it down. Worked through much rain and snow that way.
Yeah on a 20-year-old car taking off the intake manifold requires mandatory gasket replacement otherwise you're going to have a high idle when you put everything back together. Got to pull off the intake manifold to get to the valve covers so it's part of the job 💪🏽
I think you might need a pop up shelter for precipitation and shade in the summer. Could be worth looking into
Thanks for the great tips and content
That would be cool!
Man it’s so relaxing watching Ernest work on cars lol
Sadly I had the opposite situation with a brothers car. He and I both thought it was just oil in the spark plug holes and it turned out to be worn rings and polished cylinder walls.
You should get one of those easy folding tents for days like these. Great video. Learned some more from you.
Thanks 👍
I was cringing thinking the hood snow was gonna slide into the shot any second.
I push broom mine off as I have made that mistake a time or two
16:14 Bummer
😂😂😂😂😂
All sounds good, seems makes sense to tell customers from the start , with any job sometimes gaskets when removed warp, crack, or brake, same with hoses that may be older, so they know there may some additional cost for those parts, that kind of thing.
I don't remove the inlet manifold in my car unless I intend on replacing the inlet manifold seals prior to refitting the Inlet manifold.
They go flat like that on the Chevrolet LS1 V8 engines & I will only use a Fel - Pro (Federal Mogul) seal kit because I have bought some cheaper lits which were crap because the seals jus split despite me torquing up the inlet manifold to GM specification.
In my car I had to replace the Knock sensor & Knock sensor wiring harness 5 years ago meaning that the inlet manifold has to come off to replace them !
Ernest , i think a small cordless vac or small blower would do you good. blow away all that snow and debris before you start removing things 👍☺️
Love your videos ❤
I have had so many issues with plastic/rubber parts in the cold I use a heat gun to warm them up to limit damage.
I hate those intrepids. The battery sucks to get to as well.
yeah didn't even mess with it! Everything looks like a headache on these
Hey it's over 20 years old it's still on the road that says something! Intrepid with this engine much better than most cars
@@RoadsideRescue They're really not they're better than most cars I've owned three of them two of the first generation and still own one in one of the second generation. They are great cars and it says something that that car is over 20 years old they stopped making them in 2004 and it's still on the road that says something!
@@peachyclean93 that’s very bold assumption that it’s been on the road this long. Very well could have been a grandma car for the passed 20 years and now has a new owner. You don’t see any of these cars on the road anymore.
@@RadDadisRad I still own a first-generation intrepid in my state I see more older Chrysler vehicles than any other make I've seen several intrepid and Concords and 300ms lately
Great job! 😊 we are always wiser after the event 😊
Great fix!
another job well done Ernest!
When you take an intake off it’s time to replace the gasket unless it was replace real recent the seal ends up deformed and leak after some run time.
You should have one of those pop-up tents in your boxvan, to have dry place to work when raining or snowing, and shade in summertime.
All those gasgets and so, tell customer what is needed for all of the job, if not, its cheeper, but you have them all to do it at one go. And you can return unopened things to seller?
Here in Finland its called "reilu meininki" fair play, its closest translation of it. And it goes both ways.
Great job! Did you clean the mating surface before you put the intake back on for the last time or did you leave it oily? Just wondering maybe you cleaned it off but didn’t show it.
Yes. But it was mostly oil which wouldn't have really made a difference.
Why wasn't the sealing surface wiped down, with any silicone sealant applied in any cracks before re0installing the cover? It's very possible this cover may leak again.
Great job. Thanks for the videos.
Thanks for watching!
You always replace those, heck your already there. Sometimes you don't have to, depending on the condition of the old ones
Dam I’m not going to lie I’m kind of disappointed you didn’t clean the mating surface of the manifold and the Intake ports of all that oil before putting the manifold back on with the new gasket I was kept telling myself you were going to grab papers towels and Atleast wipe it lol
It's hard to judge on videos that are heavily edited.
Yeah lol I had that thing in and out a few times off camera.
I was sitting here thinking that you better change them all while it's apart. Classic dodge problem, the old neons used the same seals and they usually failed every 70k miles.
High idle is normally a leak after the throttle body, and surges is before the throttle, and or the throttle body self.
You got to respect this young man for working outside in the cold and snow to feed his family. i know how he feels as i did an oil pump in my 67 Galaxie on a Thanksgiving day in the late 70s during a snow storm.
How bout getting a portable pop up canopy?...theyre compact when folded up
Well done!!!
so glad most of these cars in my area are in the crusher and not my bay
cash for clunkers lol
I hope you got at least 1k for this job!
Tell me you were able to retain the clip and spring that's underneath that upper plenum when you try to reload those springs they can pop up and shoot all the way across the room and you're out in the snow
LMFAO AMATURE NITE IF YA ASK ME. I AINT NO MECHANIC OR NOTHING THO HAHAHAHA
Nice job!
I would be up front with the customer tell them it’s a possibility it may need to be replaced most people will just say replace it and if you don’t change it don’t charge for the part just return it
What did you perform? Just the valve cover gaskets, and the manifold gasket?
Hello I love your content. I Got A question how would you take a rounded off spark plug out a 2.4 jeep
Alot of difficulty. You may have to a rounded socket tool if have enough room or next step is breaking out the centre porclean drilling out the middle and using the tapped and reverse thread spark plug tool. Anyone that has done the plugs on a triton 3valve ford engine I believe they always had issues breaking a plug. Get car engine red hot before attempting and maybe squirter some pentrene or similar down the hole let it soak overnight a few times after driving. If the plug still works leave it the hell alone and don't open up a can of problems. I was going to check the plugs on a car i was fixing and they were so tight I couldn't move them with ratchet or breaker bar I said I'm not touching them until they're a problem.
I would charge twice what a shop Chargers to do that outside in the snow
Good video. I'd like to know the year, make and mileage at the start of it though.
He’s a good mechanic.
She knew to be safe than sorry to tow it 😅
Dodge hasn't been reliable since the early 2000s😢
I had to become a DIYer in the early 1990s because of Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge 😅
What did you spray in the spark plug holes
Have you ever installed Aisin water pump/timing belt kits and if so what has your experience been with them?
I think so. Ive never had a timing belt fail. No matter the brand. the water pumps... Idk. If worried get an oem
@@RoadsideRescue just asking since you do all sorts of work all the time I have this project coming up and I bought me an Aisin kit, which was recommended and was asking just out of curiosity and to get more feedback from experienced people 👍
Thanks for that fast 💨 supa fast 💨 response
👍 good work
A car this old, just plan to replace any gasket you touch! The valve cover gasket was very brittle.
That’s at least a 20 year old car, maybe more.
Right on it's a 2000
I give it to you bro that’s tough work I’ve been there
I would not trust those hood struts, especially with snow on the hood…
was impressed to say the least...
the topic of when to replace gaskets you werent going in to replace gets pretty complicated especially when you are doing work for a customer. its easy to just say 'if you have it apart replace the gasket' but they add up fast so youre potentially charging the customer for something they dont need. in addition there the chance the old gasket will work just fine but is so cooked on that replacing it can cause damage.
You gotta to be prepared to replace the little things that cause you time = money and frustration
I have a question and I think you can answer it for me I have a 2006 honda accord v6 and I drove this car 2days ago and left it as I normally do and when I go to start it yesterday it has no crank and I check the battery and alternator seems to be good idk what else to check that could be causing my issue when I try to start the car the lights all come on and stay on but no crank noise is made only can hear the fuel pump kick on and everything electronic
maybe the starter. Try to diagnose that.
2006 Odyssey same situation. Turned out to be starter. To determine, pull small wire off starter solenoid and see if it gets battery voltage when you hit the key. If it gets the power, it is the starter. If not go for fuses and/or starter relay. Starter failure does not always give you any warning. In my case I was 60 miles from home and had to get Odyssey towed home with unhappy wife.
I notice from the few videos ive been watching is that dodge has issues lol
why did she think it was a head gasket, was it losing coolant. because correct me if im wrong but that repair will not fix a cooant leak. I believe that is just an oil leak, but again i dont know
or an air intake leak
If I found my car did not have a blown head gasket, I would be THRILLED
to pay the tow bill as it would be so so so much less than a head gasket job.
!
Hey Brother!!
I owned a 2002 Dodge Intrepid a few years back & I enjoy everything about the Car, except those engines are Prone to have Sludge buildup & it threw a Rod. Although, I must admit that I didn't maintain it, as good as I should have, Live & Learn.. Right?
I had 3 of them 2 97 and one 04 they were great two of them with the 3.5 l and the one I have now is a 3.3 l they have been the best cars besides my neon I've ever owned!
Thanks for sharing
Do you pass the cost of the broken coil to the customer or do you just soak that up yourself too?
I pass it on in a case like this where it wasn't mishandled aor anything. I meant to show another one where the connector socket is about to snap off from age/cracking. Just to show how bad of shape they were in. If i broke it being rough I would Pay for it.
HEY ! ! !
It’s been a minute since I’ve seen a video presentation from you.
👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽
I had wondered if you were still in business.
Guess you are. 😁😁👍🏽👏🏽👍🏽👏🏽👍🏽
Welcome Back!
Yikes, stocking/using screw clamps instead of spring clamps? Also, although you don't want to aim the parts cannon at the vehicle, replacing questionable hoses and gaskets are far less expensive than labor--especially comebacks. On the customer side, the cost of a rental car for a day, would be several times the cost of incidental hoses and gaskets. Certainly, there is a fuzzy line between a repair and preventive maintenance (PM).
Here's a personal story. Back in 2004, a shop did extensive work on my '65 Chevrolet C-10, a truck I inherited from my father. When I picked the truck up, the service manager mentioned that he saved me some money, finding some used/salvage valve covers. I must have had half-dozen comebacks for leaking oil. You've probably guess the source of the leaks.
They must have the last dodge intrepid on the road, lmao. Time to retire that thing already.
Surprised you could still get parts for that thing!
right?!
Those cab forward designs were a nightmare. Wait until you have to do inner tie rod bushings, the 3.5 is worse than the 3.3. Ask me how I know.
Yeah I was admiring the rack when I was back there. What a nighmare!
That's funny I've had three of them and I've never had any of those problems my 1997 intrepid got 250,000 mi out of it
What were the symptoms that made the customer think that it was a head gasket?
Just plain unknowledgeable about vehicles in general, so she err on the side of caution and tow it 😅
Yay another intrepid lives today those cars are amazing they really are reliable with that engine
Glad to hear a positive opinion! I'll keep this one on the road as long as I can!
@@RoadsideRescue good man! They do have their quirks but I loved my intrepids
Those things are junk!
You're junk
That’s going to need a timing replacement
Looks like a nightmare. Does he ever mention make and model of car. 3.5 something ?
Doing that work in the wind and snow, no thank you but good job.
And this my CZcams friends is why I only buy trucks. I need room to work.
well i say type of climate plus millage and age if all 3 of those are meet just change them
Havent seen a intrepid for years!! Wtf
Why did you not run a smoke test to identify the leaks? Then you could have created a plan and saved some time.
I am a CZcams neurosurgeon and aeronautical engineer...so this makes me qualified to criticize yourvrepair work...

Mopar junk
Hello ! The gaskets of the spark plug wells of my hyndai getz 1.4 engine were loose when new and the oil got on the spark plugs. I solved the problem like this, I made the seal seats on the valve chamber free of oil and before installing it I lubricated with sealant, I let it dry for 20 hours before starting the engine. Before installing the valve chamber cover, wipe the tubes of the candle wells clean and make the round seals slightly slippery with oil with your finger. Then there will be no more oil leaks after installation.
Yo my Broski i haven’t been well for a while and haven’t been on the silk then comes on here sees this great mechanic guy then i sees the van and i’m like hang on that’s Ernest 😂 thought ah a new mechanic on the block because of that beard, think i needs an eye test.
