Each photo & video described.
These videos are meant to be educational but also funny, so if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!
0:00 Intro
0:05 Passenger side trailing arm broken. The technician was surprised it was not fixed as it looked like it just had some other related work done to it. (Maybe the customer will do it themselves).
0:15 Power cable for amp resting on the exhaust and burnt the cable. Luckily there wasn't further damage! The customer let the shop re-install a new cable for the amp and fix all other related issues with the sound system they installed.
0:27 Pontiac Grand-Am GT. Rack & pinion are broken in multiple spots (where it mounts to sub-frame) and leaking p/s fluid. The shop refused to do an alignment on this car on this saw that the customer had cut the sub-frame to try and secure the p/s rack to it.
0:40 Toyota (didn't mention model) has an electric parking brake built into the rear brake calipers. So to properly remove/reinstall the brake calipers in the rear you need to put it into service mode. The customer did not do that so that's why they couldn't reinstall the rear brake caliper. So they drove to the shop which caused the piston to push out of the caliper and leak fluid. They got a new brake caliper installed.
0:53 The shop did the alignment and that's it.
1:02 Worn out ball-joint, welded to the steering knuckle and ball-joint nut was loose. The shop fixed the check engine light then the customer had it towed away as they said they will fix the ball joint themselves.
1:11 The technician isn't sure if the customer bought this vehicle like this or if it was done by the customer, either way, they got a new subframe installed.
1:23 Volvo (did not mention model). The noise when the heater was on high was caused by the windshield being loose. A good find by the technician!
1:43 Front differential broke in multiple spots and the transmission needs to be replaced as well. The technician thinks it might have been better if they would have hit the deer.
1:59 New camshaft was installed under warranty. We've seen this on an older episode 2 years ago. Most likely a manufacturer defect on the camshaft.
2:12 "Ford S-Max came for a battery change. Yes the customer drives it like that and yes it is that easy to move it around, I have no idea how they can drive like that, that so unsafe."
2:18 The technician is not sure why they had a piece of wood and rocks in the top lid of the center console. The technician removed the wood and rocks and it fixed the customer's complaint.
2:27 ABS light was on as the ABS sensor reads the wheel speed off of the reluctor wheel on the back side of the CV axle. Since no axle nut was installed, the cv axle was moving in and out of the hub and not given an accurate wheel speed which turned the ABS/hill descent light on. Most likely since the ABS light is on it causes an issue with the hill descent as well. The technician installed a new axle nut and it fixed the issue.
2:42 Common issue on Mercedes-Benz models to have the rear sub-frame brake in multiple spots (seems to be an extended warranty fix now) as it's been a very common issue. Seems like somebody had already tried fixing it themselves though.
2:55 Differentials will have a vent on top of them with a vent hose. Usually, the vent hose gets ripped off (from off-roading usually), and then water enters the differential. In this case, that's what most likely happened and the customer did not know until they started hearing a droning noise.
3:08 The customer had routed a bunch of wires through the door jamb so over time the door damaged the wires. The technician said it was also a huge mess of wires everywhere and recommended to the customer rewire the accessories they have on their vehicle.
3:20 The customer did not do any damage to the van but damaged their bumper again, and a tail light.
3:31 Outro. Thanks for watching! - Auta a dopravnĂ prostĆedky

Mine was too short!! Ahhh
I had a great weekend! well, except for no football.
Always look forward to seeing your nightmares on vehicles. It's a very cool video series đ
@@theglitch99 that's a very dangerous statement, good job I checked JRI s comment! No offense intended, just made me giggle when I read it. Yup definitely need to grow up! đ©đŹđ§
"...after they slammed into reverse at 70 miles per hour, as they did not want to hit a deer..." Actually, there's usually a pedal you can push to reduce the forward motion of the car.
How do some people have their licenses?
Wait, they do? Where can I find it? >.>
@@greig9794 hahaha right they probably donât or didnât pass, starting to make sense
I was following a fiesta the other day at 70mph, they tried to put it in reverse for whatever reason. Lots of smoke and dust came out from underneath, but surprisingly it didn't lock up.
I'm curious why there is not an interlock to prevent drive to reverse in high-speed applications.
Everyone, we did it!!! We had a successful repair report on here! It was also a subframe, too!
Mark this day on your calendar!
You'll want to remember it when you're old and gray.
The owner deserve a medal!
@@mikesmith-po8nd I am already old and grey, i waited my whole life for this...... and it finally happen... sob....

@@jpsholland I, too, am old and gray, but that means there is little chance of remembering this day...or any other day, for that matter.
Car manufacturers need to install check driver light.
Would get burnt out real quick đ
The old "loose nut holding the wheel" problem
I think of brake lights or headlights being out, or high beams stuck on as my "check driver light" when I see them on the road
There is an 'Idiot light' lol !
itâs the coffee cup symbol, it does exist
Cheers to the tech who found that cracked cam lobe, could have been a hard one to find. đ»
That and the windshield one was a good find
â@@JustRolledIn As a Toyota owner, some Toyotas have windshield issues with very new cars. We have had a cracked windshield on my wife's then new RAV 4 and also my 20 Tundra. Both replaced under warranty.
Audi...German crap
its a group Vag,you always look at the camshafts first
Very strange to find that most are fully cast and ground to specs. When the escort came out I had several of them with a no start I found the fuel pump rod was too soft and wore down enough to not puah the diaphragm rod far enough to pump the fuel. Plus escort would ALWAYS bend the valves when the T belt broke at 55 thousand miles.
That person who backed into the big van at the end should not be on the road
Probably an old woman
â@@scottrussell6717 or teenage boy
It's a Nissan. I'm pretty sure when you buy a Nissan all the paper work is done in crayon.
Just because they're driving doesn't mean that they have a License.
â@@thomashaapalainen4108 Does that include the Skyline, GTR, 300zx twin turbo, Pulsar, Silvia, 350z etc etc
I think some people confuse the phrase "a job well done" with "a job weld, done!" because those welds that were done were anything but well done.
You would think that these people would at least know to use JB Weld. Much stronger than just regular tack welds.
If it sounds like bacon, it's a good weld. If it smells like bacon, you're on fire.
Yes, A job weld-on. Like on my trailer. đ
They were extra crispy
When they say, "That boy can weld," I think sometimes we don't hear the air quotes!
That one zip tie put in some truly heroic effort.
Why would they even think to drop it in reverse at all never mind at 70 đ€Šââïž
Never cease to amaze dude!!
Have a good week đ
To paraphrase Bill Engvall, "Here's your bill".
Bet they were thinking âI did it to avoid killing a poor dear deerâ sounded better than âI wanted to see if I could put it into reverse while movingâ đ
I was following a fiesta two days ago on a dual carriageway doing 70mph, when their reverse lights came on, lots of smoke and weird noises ensued. Somehow it didn't lockup there and then!
I donât think you can even put my car (Volvo) in reverse while driving. If youâre faster than a certain speed there is resistance that doesnât let you put it in lower gears and I assume also reverse.
@@MuitoDaora Brakes.
As an electrician I see people all the time expecting 100 amps from their 15 amp circuits...Like here wanting a 12volt battery to do the job of 8 batteries...
you can easily pull 100 amps from a 12v car battery. The Main Fuse is often near 200 amps.
Only thing stopping them from pulling that much amperage is the size of the wire and of course a small fuse.
Remember: FUSES/CIRCUIT BREAKERS PROTECT THE --WIRE-- (NOT) the device
@@jackhofalot6705 That's exactly OP's point tho, the battery CAN provide that kick, and it will burn through whatever it takes to get the job done.
â@@jackhofalot6705 The fuses burn up to protect the wires and the device. When you install a higher rate fuse, the wires will melt to protect a .25c fuse!
@@jackhofalot6705 but they expect 20-60 amps from a (very probably) 16-14g wire. I once saw someone running parallel #10 for an amp setup rated for 90 amps....ignoring that the parallel run is wrong it would still only be around 51 amps safe usage, was a friend of a friend who asked me to look at it, he couldn't figure out why the wires kept melting the jacket off.
1:43 My dad did that once in the 90's. Apparently, he was racing a friend, on the highway, at night, in his parents old Ford SUV. His idea was that the engine wasn't very powerful, so on the down hills, he'd just put it into neutral so that gravity would take him faster than the engine could. This was before I was around, so I can't say much about its successful-ness. Plus, the car was an automatic, so it wasn't really meant to shift while moving anyways. So, what basically happened was that he overshot neutral, and accidentally slammed it into reverse while doing at least 90MPH on the highway. The driven wheels (I think rear wheels?) Completely locked up, my dad went "OH SH!T" and shifted back into drive. Supposedly the car was completely fine afterwards, and didn't have any noticeable damage, though my father later suspected that this incident shortened the overall life span of the vehicle. And now, almost 30 years later, my family still to this day makes sure everyone knows that R, in fact, does not translate to Race-Mode.
I thought R meant "REALLY fast"?
Not experience about older automatics. Specially not american cars.
But every car to trucks which had manual there was little to none possibility to
slam it reverse while moving forward. While we were youger and had old cars
as dirt cars around fields and ice tracks we even tried to kill one volvo (maybe 240)
As trying to put it reverse on ice lake track.
Yes it will sounds horrible when gears are grinding like hell when stick is forcefully
pushed in wrong gear even with clutch down. Will most likely cut lifespan from
clutch and gearbox if try to do that but least we didnt get it in.
The loose windshield was a definite surprise
Iâve had the loose windshield thing on a vehicle. Didnât have the whistle. Or maybe I did. Canât hear diddly.
When it rained. It was like a waterfall on my dash. These modern windshield installation systems are a joke, imo.
@@patrickperry6945 I have had two windshield replacements (different cars) in the last decade and had zero problems with them.
I think it is key to have the technician well-trained, and it is VERY crucial to ensure that the sealants do not get too cold when curing. Excessive cold messes with the bonding between sealant and glass, and that sealant is what is really holding the glass in place.
It's scary to think that for every story that gets video reporting, there's probably a hundred or three that are just as bad, but not making it onto the web. I think I'll buy some armor for my car...
Just make sure you panel over the fuel cap and door seams when you bird's-nest "weld" the armour plates on, then take it to a shop to be fixed, with the obligatory "Another shop did this". Extra points if your subframe is held together by rust-scale and there's a random bullet hole through a brake line.
just make sure you attach said armour with cable ties, crappy spot welds, and electrical tape!
Thinking the same thing, maybe not "armor". More like get some free (or nearly free) used up tires, drill holes for drainage, and hang them off my car (like a tugboat). Probably not 100% legal but this IS Florida.
If you drill enough holes into it, no one but a scrapyard will take it... that's the solution.
Makes a man lay awake at night, Andrew.
The only 3:37 seconds i have to look forward to and you never disappoint . The windshield whistling and the cam lobe separation is definitely a first , showed this vid to our drivability tech and he is in disbelief too . First for everything , which scares me in thinking whats next ..
It's actually 217 seconds
@@gingermcgingin4106 I didnt feel saying minutes was needed and now not even seconds i should of let the time stamp stand alone but indeed you are correct 217 seconds on the dot ..
i also found a windshield leak, but it didn't make noise. The driver complained of a cold draft on his forehead and the leak was down under the wipers. At highway speeds I could feel the chill because it was winter.
@@rupe53 I would imagine the conditions have to be just right . Not everyone i know can whistle either , i cant but i do blow alot of hot air . lol . Seen alot of debonding and delamination but never a noise that was a frequency the human ear can hear but not my department ..
Iâm not a mechanic but this shit makes me value you guys that actually give AF about what you do and makes me terrified of those of you that donât.
yeah, it's pretty split among us lmao
It's not that they don't give a folk, they just don't know any better.
â@@willallen7757 I've worked with plenty of guys who know but don't care. Just another reason I left the industry
I had a mechanic leave a dirty rag in my radiator fan shroud. Destroyed it. Finding a good trustworthy competent mechanic is like finding a unicorn.
@@edwelndiobel1567 Ouch.
The windshield one was perfect timing. Was just at a local auto parts shop last week for a new battery and was chatting with one of the clerks. He had a vehicle for a few years and had it in the shop for some work. While there the mechanic removed a plastic guard or something and the windshield started sliding down. Turned out there was nothing sealing the windshield on. Was in absolute shock it didn't fly off at some point.
3:26 Customer came to get their rear bumper re-secured then hit a van while backing up out of the shop. Iâd love for a *reality tv show to follow that person* and record an entire weekâs footage of their day to day life. *Probably pulls on doors that say push* and licks doorknobs. đđ
"Nah man, my cool Jurassic Park mods are in no way the cause of the issues and I will not be ripped off by you con artists. I watched a tik tok about it, so I know what I'm doing".
Tik tok, the scourge of common sense.
Man I wish that wasn't true.

"I watched a tik tok about it, so I know what I'm doing"... Yeah, cause that's where everyone goes to learn things... You dumb a55.

Iâve sent better cars to the junkyard than some of these
đ some of these should be in a junkyard
Lol i dont sent the car into a junkyard until its bare chassis, first drive the living hell out of it (non dangerous) and than take EVERY SINGLE part off of it, HELL! I even would take all the nuts and bolts, i mean it i dont waste a single part,
I think we all have
@@01Elantraaa me too like bulb sockets hard to find connectors special bolts nuts factory screws. Every mechanic I know has a junk box full of these saved items I have a metric box and an SAE box
Sad but true!
2:00 thats a common problem with audi. At one point we installed a brand new engine and it spun the lobe on its first 2 minutes.
They dont even need to crack, they sometimes just rotate 20 degrees and stay there, try figuring this out.
German engineering đ©đȘ
Great quality đ
Where is Audi getting their camshaft engineers? From Briggs & Stratton? That shit design is unforgivable.
Audi is just the premium version of the Volkswagen (like Buick is the premium version of Chevrolet). What do you expect?
1:25 judging by the rear wiper switch it's either a C30 or a V50. Extremely common on the C30s for the top of the windshields to separate like that. I've got videos of some of them where when I shut the door you can watch the whole windshield jump haha
Can't belive the guy had time to put it in reverse to avoid the deer.
I hit a deer at 40MPH and a second after I saw him he was on my hood staring at me with a WTF expression.
Totally!
I was doing 50 when I went UNDER a deer. He was crossing the road from left to right...
Took out my left front headlight, damaged the hood, left ick on the right center of the windshield....and scratched the paint on the right side of the roof.
I definitely did NOT have time to brake, let alone downshift.
@Darth Nemesis - lucky you. Mine was a midsized deer, probably a teenager. $3,000.00 worth of damage to a chevy volt. Hood, fender, headlight, engine radiator, battery radiator.
If the deer jumps out you have no time at all. But if the deer was standing on the road as they came over a hill they may have had a few extra seconds. Or they just made the deer thing up and didnt want to admit what really happened.
A deer ran into me as I was doing about 25. Not much I could do, she was determined to butt my fender.
I watch these videos so I can say once in a while, "At least, I'm not THAT dumb!"
Same, but sometimes I think "ya know, I might be that dumb" and it's humbling.
1:44 Doing this is called a "Crash Stop" it was done in large ships 100 years ago to stop the ship quickly.
But ships back then did not a transmission
3:22 who needs bumper repair, when you can make another hole on the other side, so it will look like itÂŽs supposed to be that way đ€Ł
That dude who installed those fancy 'carbon fiber' wheel cover was this video's winner, hands down. I'm dying over here..đ€Ł
That variable cam lobe, though.
Random valve timing đ
@@JustRolledIn lmao
Just build rubber cams.
My brother had a friend who when my brother drove his car (the friend) he would throw it into reverse either during turns or driving straight and after doing like 4 time it finally broke a couple teeth off the rear pinion gear. He did it because he said it's supposed to stall the car but only stalled it twice. The kids parents had money but he had no brains.
This is actually a good thing. You donât want weak teeth on your gears and the best way to identify and remove them for peak performance is to just shift into Race every now and then.
Just imagine what's still on the road! These videos are amazing!
1:47
Helmsman: There's a deer directly off our bow, sir
Cpt. Customer: Full Reverse!
That last one clip. I bought a brand new 06 Nissan Sentra Ser Spec V. It was on one of those elevated display racks at the front of the dealership. The salesmen was backing it off when he hit another brand new car. Lucky he took responsibility and had all the work fixed while I got a loaner.
Great episode!
Its been a hard week man...but thanks for your words. Helped a lot. More than you realize...
I know the feeling buddy! Hope this week is better
@@JustRolledIn It was very tough...I lost a HS buddy, but also something very good happened too. Lots of things all converged to today...
@@RipRoaringGarage sorry to hear that man. Always here to chat when you need it
@@JustRolledIn I appreciate it. I was able to talk to another HS buddy, and remember him...Its still sad, but life goes on, must go on.
Now I fully understand why we have an MOT every year on our vehicles in the UK, unless new (3 years for first).
Not everyone is vehicle savvy. đ€
Here is NSW Australia, a new vehicle is good for 5 years before you need an inspection
1:30 all volvo from this year have the same problems. I used to work there and replace all those windshield. But volvo didnt want a recall for that
huh, I always assumed camshafts were machined from a single piece, not 'assembled'. is this a cost cutting thing in newer vehicles/cheap after market parts?
Yeah, I thought cams were single piece as well. Maybe this is the difference between forged and cast? So a flaw in the casting allowed the lobe to crack and separate from the rest without breaking into pieces? Improper heat treatment?
@@Summit2012 Cams traditionally were a one-piece blank where each lobe was ground into it by machine. I think 20 or so years ago, Ford started making lobes individually with a separate machine, and then pressed them onto hollow shafts. One big advantage to that was hollow shafts, and I think it was cheaper to have machines just churn out lobes thane machine lobes into camshaft blanks.
Of course, like anything new, it's not progress if it breaks.
@@theundergroundlairofthesqu9261 Thanks for the explanation.
It gets more complicated.
Modern variable valve timing requires interesting solutions, and some of those involve using tracks or guides on the cam and a switching of lobes, or a switching of the position of those lobes in regard to the centerline of the camshaft.
So yeah, this ain't the camshaft out of your daddy's buick.
I had to rewatch several times to be sure I heard correctly: "...zip tied the brake caliper to the control arm..." đ€Ż
ahahaha ikr, also the SINGULAR ziptie to the radiator.
Well technically that is a good idea when the caliper needs to be removed but shit you need to reinstall it before driving!
Hot rod garage zip tie moment
They used a zip tie because they ran out of duct tape.
I was just going to drive to the grocery store in a few minutes but this episode changed my mind. Think I'll call for home delivery.
see ... you're already getting smarter
Back in around 1976 I had a 1968 Plymouth and the spring for the carburetor broke in traffic on I-280 in Newark, NJ near the exit for college that day. The car immediately went to wide open throttle, I hit the foot brake as hard as I could, slammed the shifter through reverse to park making a horrible noise but the car stopped. I shut the engine off, put on the flashers, opened the hood and bent the tip of the remains of the spring to the carburetor with a pair of pliers I had in the car then continued to school. Luckily I didn't hit any other cars, God was watching over me that day. To say the least I was very shaken up for the rest of the day.
0:48 Not gonna lie that's pretty good thinking for someone who goofed.
Better than the usual "So I just drilled a new hole to hold it" type stuff.
Great clips and editing as always. A pre-war car at the end is always a treat.
The last one. I wonder if they asked the customer if they would prefer to just open an account at the body shop.
This channel always brightens my day. Being a professional auto technician I find it amusing.
Aaaand we're off to a great start! Lamp cords??? .......what a bizarre thing to use.đđ
I'm glad I'm in the UK. We have compulsory vehicle checking every year and if they find anything dangerous you aren't allowed to drive it out of the garage. Plus it's all on a database so if you don't have a valid MOT and/or insurance you will get pulled over. We still have a few sheds driving round illegally, but nowhere near the number (as a percentage of vehicles on the road) as the States.
I think most states have that too, but there's a few with zero inspections. Here in NZ the Warrant of Fitness does a good job of keeping them roadworthy
Almost the same here in the Netherlands. A new car is MOT ( APK in NL) for the first year but after that, a car must be MOTt every year. When something is wrong, you have a week to fix it and come back for the r-check ( free of charge). These garages only do the MOTs. They have 10 points and if a secret check guy from the state comes and notices that the garage is doing wrong, it loses a point. No more points: end of the garage. So, we hardly have vehicles driving around like these in this video. Here is an official video from the Dutch MOT ( RDW is RijksDienst voor het Wegverkeer= State Service of Road Traffic. From the Ministry of Traffic). Link:
czcams.com/video/bo03Ob4rSug/video.html
Resale value of cars in the U.S. would go up if minimum safety and maintenance standards were enforced.
But, the U.S. has become quite poor (despite outward appearances) and the masses need rattletraps that they can afford.
1:52 This customer hasn't been introduced to brakes yet... đ€Š
You show some of the scariest videos. Every time I am freaked out thinking about how many of these cars are on the road. But, Thanks for posting, I am never disappointed.đČ
That last clip is what mechanics call âJob Securityâ
These videos make my day man. Thank you.
I love the content, just wish there was more of it. Great vids, JRI!
Working on hiring some help, to help me out. Unfortunately a lot of clips aren't sent in so it takes hours finding them/getting permission and licensing clips.
1:11 really digging the 8lbs of wheel weights on the wheel too đ
Thqnk God for real mechanics who fix nutty home mechanic's problems. People really need to stop doing their own repairs if they don't know what they are doing.
When was the last time you gave your mechanic a nice tip for all the uard work they do???
đđđđđđđđđ
As always. Still my favorite channel.
How much does a new subframe cost?
I thought normal people considered a car with a rusted out sub frame to be totaled.
A cracked cam lobe. I have never seen that before.đ±đ€Ł
Always great to watch content!
Paying a REAL mechanic to maintain all our vehicles is well worth the price
Sure is .
IF you donât know what youâre doing, if you do then itâs way cheaper to just buy parts and fix things yourself but again know wtf youâre doing
@@huntermetting1121 obviously, there are a LOT of folk who DON'T know what they are doing, based on this You Tube channel, LOL
Mt wrench has a spotless shop, clean floor and clean overalls. He moves like he knows what he is doing. When he started his bay was sometimes empty. Now he is booked weeks in advance. No, he is not cheap. Yes, I save money by going to him because he gets it right.
REAL mechanics tried scamming my wife for $700 to have the brakes replaced so i did it myself for under $100. im sure you think youre really clever gatekeeping maintenance to extort people
Imagine being an engineer and thinking that a press fit is good enough to hold cam lobes to a cam shaft. Thus the reason for the crack and spin they are relying on an interference fit for goodness sake... :)
Awesome channel growth brother 9 hours and 145k views were I only smart enough to make a well liked and respected YT channel best of luck in the future my friend!
mmmmmm well.....
Consider if there had been a keyway locating the cam lobe.
That lobe, after splitting, would have separated.
And then what would happen? Loose parts flying around tend to damage a lot more parts.
Sometimes engineers actually design things to fail quietly, not catastrophically.
Reference: I'm an engineer.
@@eldoradocanyonro solid camshafts don't fail like this do they Mr Engineer? Which was my point... whom but an engineer would even be able to think about putting a keyway in a press fit cam lobe. KISS is a wonderful principle. Lol chill brother you're an engineer and I have been a mechanic for 55 years, I have seen a few things while I worked brother.
@@eldoradocanyonro As an Engineer myself, if my boss told me to cost down a cam shaft by specifying an inductive shrink fit, Iâd have splurted my coffee out over his glasses and short sleeved shirt and told him to find another moron to do it. Forging and machining every time.
1:43 reminds me of that Jeff Foxworthy bit where he is talking about rental cars and how you always get the extra insurance because then you get to do all the stuff you wanted to try in your own car but were to afraid of messing something up.
Every time I watch one of the JRI videos, I find myself staring, with my mouth open in amazement!
"slammed it in reverse as to not hit a deer"
I'm no expert, but I believe cars also have a separate mechanism for dealing with this type of situation
Very likely the car's brakes were fixed by cousin Bubba and failed. Reverse was the next option.
Stuff like this makes me pucker up.
Be safe on the road
I remember a few car stereo issues back in the day. The car was a rustbucket and there was an amp in the back. The frame was rusted and the ground was not good. The amp electrons decided the brake lines looked better than the chassis and used that to get to the battery. This contaminated the brake fluid and caused poor performance. There was another where they routed the line under the brake pedal, severely limiting performance.
Slamming your car in reverse (if that's even possible) won't make it stop more quickly than ABS
Story time: I had a left hand drive mail Jeep. The kind with the sliding doors. It had an automatic transmission with the shift lever on the floor. I was tooling down a gravel road on a summer evening with the door open. Had a K-Bar knife on the floor bouncing towards the open door. Picked up the knife to toss it on the passenger seat and knocked the transmission into reverse. Locked it up, went sideways, and rolled over 1 and 1/4 times, landing on the drivers side. Fortunate that I always wore a seat belt when driving with the door open. This would have been around 1983. That Jeep was a sweet little ride and fun to drive....
@@tinknal6449 how does that happen? I know in my car there's like a button you need to press to shift in reverse.
@@greego5952 This was a model from the early 70s, They didn't have a lot of the modern safety features.
i see, i assumed that all shifters had the shift button even my 1987 dodge aries has it. Bad assumption i guess.
ââ@@tinknal6449 I remember when mythbusters tried to put the car in park or reverse at speed, and it wasn't possible in whatever clapped out junk they used. I assumed it wasn't possible, because even the dumbest engineer would know that needs to be prevented
The customer in the last clip needs reverse removed from the transmission !!
NGL, I dig that Jurassic Park truck, even if that is some sketchy ass wiring.
That last one though came to fix the bumper then hits a car coming out XD
Damn, hitting the R for racing mode in 112 mph must be a great feeling, better than money shifting :)
I'd like to hear the noise it made when they engaged R!
A girl in my brother's drivers education course did that. Not at 112, but it ended pretty much the same.
This channel is making me scared to drive knowing how many cars that have loose nuts behind the wheel!
đ€Łđ
Underrated
Many thousands of them!!!!!!
Wow and these vehicles are on the roads next to you. Drive safe everyone.
Here I was wondering if people are trying to put in new subframes to prevent catalytic converter theft.
Enjoyed the video đđ
The Volvo is one of three models made in the 2000s, the S40 or C30,. They all shared that dash and center stack. You can eliminate the C70 since AFAIK those only ever came as hardtop convertible.
@2:12::Lock steering wheel covers in Attack formation!
Finding loose cam lobe, that's some really good diagnosis.
The guy messed up his car to save the deer.
Wait! What's with the loose cam lobe at 2:00? Camshafts aren't one piece anymore? Even my 54 Nash has a single piece camshaft. đ
Some are press fit now.
They expand the lobe by heating it, then they press it on the shaft and let it cool down.
Doesent sound bad in theory, sadly they fail often
That is amazing that camshafts aren't one piece castings like they used to be.
Well done for preserving a fine automobile like your Nash!
@@MyCrazyGarage
If the lobe slips a little and the piston slams into the valve, that pretty much negates any savings by going with a multi piece shaft.
I'm a retired machinist and manufacturing engineer and I don't see how this type of camshaft is any easier to make. It sounds like a nightmare!
@@Iconoclasher Exactly! This is just like the time when Opel (Vauxhall) decided to use ball bearings for cam bearings.
The bearing cages constantly broke and the balls fell out. The whole cam would move up and down every few cycles and you would get some sporadic misses until the whole cam broke

Thank you. Actually JRI used it at the end of his video dated July 27, 2022. (the heated seat video) The blue one at the top left.
If you have enough zip ties, you can "fix" anything on a car....
Zip ties, duct tape and JB weld could cure cancer if used together
@@ryanm4013 I think you are onto something LOL
1:43 I have been puzzling over the American dashcam crashes on YT videos. Often a car will spin out and get totalled on the big highways, often when driving in a straight line or taking a minor evasive manoeuvre.
Couldn't figure out why such bad crashes...this clip explains everything!
Scary.
1:43 I did this once, when I had just started driving. I was on my way to school when a wasp flew into the window and right into my face. My first instinct was to immediately put the car in park... while still going 30 MPH. It was a Honda, though, so aside from some god awful grinding noises, it was no worse for wear.
remember folks, some of these shit boxes are on the road next to you.
Dang! how could people do these things, and believe they are going to work?
Stupidity and ignorance goes a long way!
The DIY Win is a strong drug. But, like waking up after an all night bender, the reality of a crappy DIY job shows up to collect.
@@BlackPill-pu4vi HHAha good way to put it
Think of how dumb the average person is and realize half of them are even dumber...
they are brain dead, and sadly go through life just like that. sadly they get to vote, and breed!
This is the most underrated channel on youtube.
Wow. Breath taking
Its now 11.23 PM in Germoney. This is the perfect shit i need to watch before i sleep đđđŒ
With eyes bugged out, hair straight out from your head and head turning back and forth screaming. Now tell us another story.
Yet you can't spell Germany correctly unless I'm missing the point of this post.
@@eyesodd I always write "Germoney" like this. Has something to do with the shitty politics and way of life here in the country... It doesn't matter
Regarding the video, it's just nice when you watch a video like this after a hard long day, where you see repairs being done by stupid people and some driving really shabby cars. So I always know that things can probably get a little worse than my life is đđđŒ
@@eyesodd Probably expensive to live in Germany.
thank god I live in a country with strict inspections
3:20 that right there is what we call irony xD
Subframe tied on with power cords...that's for real? Wtf
Subscribed, this is legit better than watching gore videos
Always great videos. FYI, even way better video quality now, just upgraded to a 4K TV from my old DLP. Yippy.
Top-quality parts and service on display here from a couple of shops. YIKES!
It's never a dull moment.
So zip ties arenât enough to fix things correctly?
Who knew.
Of course not. Duct tape and caulk are sometimes needed.
@@txp-tuff4358 Don't forget Liquid Nails
1:43 watched @autovlog videos when they threw that bad boy in reverse đ
That heater one was hysterical! I love it!! Ugh⊠brake installation- CZcams it!
Buy a repair manual....
@@eldoradocanyonro yes!!
We are doomed as a society đ
It started when they added so many warning labels.
We're traveling solely on the momentum we inherited from the 20th century. We've just about used it all up and now we're facing a long hard upgrade.
There is a certain amount of confirmation bias going on here. Everyone now has a camera in their pocket, and they can publish content that millions of people can see with relative ease. This is the same thing that happens to say police officers. They deal with the worst people all the time, and so they start to see those attributes in general society, even though it's a tiny minority.
We watch these on purpose because they are entertaining (and educational), but we have to be careful that just because we see a lot of these on this channel, that this is reflective of all cars on the road. Not saying it's not possible (especially where for some individual freedom is often seen as much more important than the good or safety of the wider community), just that jumping to conclusions based on a self selected data set is probably going to give you the wrong idea.
De- evolution at it's finest
Darwinism at its best. Some of these people are 1 day away from winning a Darwin Award
Just when you think you've heard it all, then.......lamp cords. đ
These vehicles are on the road driving next to you and me. My best friend was a mechanic in the 90's and he told me a story one time of having to reject a car due to the fact it was an unsafe patch job. It was some guy's daughter's Camaro and the father just took the car to a "lick'm and stick'm" shop to get it to pas inspection. About 2 months later the car was in a very bad accident a busy highway and the daughter and 2 of her friends were killed ! It was in all the papers. That is when my buddy found out what happened to the car because he saw it in the paper
I thought modern cars didn't allow you to switch to reverse when driving at speed, at least not for automatics. How is that possible?
On newer stuff it's not possible from my understanding but this was a 2005 model.
In normal use it ain't possible, but if a person thinks that putting a gear into a reverse is better than brakes, who knows what he is capable.
â@@XtreeM_FaiL đđ Sad but true.
@@JustRolledIn wonder if they had bad brakes too
I could be wrong but I assume that if it has mechanical linkage from the shifter to the transmission, instead of a knob or buttons that are strictly electronic, then it can be shifted into reverse at speed unless it has some other safety lockout to prevent it above a certain speed
