    Video descriptions:
    0:00 Intro
    0:04 Wheel of Fortune, Ford Edition!
    0:17 What bearing who needs those?
    0:23 This car came in for a oil change. The oil was milky ,so the mechanics investigated turns out the timing chain cover gasket was leaking.
    0:34 It was covered by all the leaves and rubbish either way it wasn't worth too much in the trade in
    0:45 1989 c1500 350 alternator seized
    0:56 Customer States "I just noticed the coolant looks like grey sludge while working in the engine bay"
    1:00 Mechanic went to check the oil on a truck at their work and found it just a 'tad' overfilled
    1:56 Mechanic stated "My mechanic told me my serpentine belt is split in two on the phone and I thought he was joking"
    2:02 You'd think they could easily afford a brand new bumper instead right
    2:09 Customer drove on this tire while it was flat leading to the sidewall split like this
    2:29 AC not sounding too happy
    2:39 This mechanic found this vehicles brake caliper in this state while on a road call
    3:10 Could be the alternator but some very odd issues going on there so I'm unsure
    3:25 This car randomly locks the doors when you hit either the brake or the turn signals
    3:35 Customer States "What is this noise in my front end? Sounds like a goose"
    3:43 Power steering getting air into the system even after a bunch of parts has been replaced
    4:00 This Customer stated "It just stopped"
    4:07 Customer States "just the free oil change please I'm selling it in fall"
    4:13 Not what you want to see coming out of an oil filter
    4:21 Pretty funny but definitely frustrating for this customer
    5:00 Customer States "I have a flat that just wont take air"
    5:07 Customer States this happens "once per trip coming off a stop light and keep knocking intermittently for a minute or so"
    5:23 Outro

    4:21 Car owner playing with menu settings, not knowing what they are doing, and ended up putting the wipers in "service mode".
    "Service mode" is is there so that a person can change the wiper blades, because they are not accessible, and you can't lift the arms up when they are off and parked under the edge of the hood.

      THAT would be a COMPLETE WASTE of time and money on this car...
      Using the menu buttons to get the wipers out of "service mode", however, WOULD be the simple, and quick, solution here. Do yourself a favor, and do NOT work on your own cars.

    @shanemitchell477 Před rokem +1

    Easy to fix the wipers....turn car on, use wipers, when wiper is down, shut car off quickly, then shut off wipers with switch, then restart car...NICE belt tensioner on the one video...luckily that one looks very very simple to get too! Too bad they didn't make them all that way!

    • @davelowets
      @davelowets Před rokem

      It's NOT a belt tesioner problem....
      Look up and to the right just a bit, and you'll see it... 👀
      Also, that will not fix the wiper issue. They are in "service mode", used to get access to the wiper arms so that one can change the wiper blades.

    Have to admit, I have added too much oil. My oil light came on when I was just going on a five hour trip and I was in a hurry. And I had never added oil before so I didn't know how long it took to drain down and kinda panicked and added some more. But not in the vicinity of that amount.
