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 - Click show more under the video to read more.
0:05 The appropriate gasket was installed and fixed the overheating concern.
0:17 Some belts are two-sided and can be installed either way, but most of them are not, like the one shown in the clip. A new serpentine belt was installed.
0:26 The mechanic said the ribs of the timing belt against the smooth side of the pulley made an extremely loud noise. He installed a new timing belt kit to be on the safe side as this is an interference engine, and if the timing belt snapped it would cause the valves to hit the pistons.
0:35 Some catastrophic turbo failure on a 793 Cat Haul Truck. Impressive damage that I wanted to share with you guys! The turbo, exhaust pipe, coolant pipe and some other parts were replaced.
0:57 The customer just did not know how to properly put their vehicle into reverse. The technician said no issues were found.
1:12 No extra info.
1:20 Exhaust and fuel tank were replaced. The shop had performed a multiple-point video inspection last time which did not show this damage.
1:30 The technician installed the hose clamps at the correct spots, pressure tested the system and found no more leaks.
1:41 In the photo you see the drain at the top. The technician also said the radiator does not have a fill cap like you see on most radiators.
1:53 Transmission will need to be replaced.
2:04 Oil pan and gasket were replaced.
2:18 The spare wheel cover is supposed to have a hole in the middle for the backup camera where it's located.
2:27 Not the safest option, but if it works it works!
2:36 Sounds like the cologne was alcohol based which made the vent sticky and caused the vent tabs to break.
2:47 Used engine installed.
2:57 Be safe at work and if you ever have questions ask somebody before doing something. He is lucky he did not get hurt.
3:10 Outro. Thanks for watching! - Auta a dopravní prostředky

Why do car designers put a gear lever in the middle of a coin storage facility making it difficult to change gear?
Why do car drivers still put loose change - especially pennies - in the center console? It's not like they can use it to pay tolls - or even "feed" parking meters any more.
I use the change to buy scratch and win tickets, cigarettes and coffee occasionally. It goes out of my pocket into the ashtray and gets used maybe once every 8 weeks.
I know, right?
@@sct913So, you just throw change away?
This must be a regional culture thing. Where I live, if you leave any coins in a car such that they are visible, homeless guys and teenagers break in and take the coins.
I'm genuinely impressed by people who bring the car to the shop over trivial issues that are so blatantly obvious a normal 6 year old could piece it together just by fiddling with it for a few minutes.
They get to vote too, to choose who runs the economy and sets foreign policy ...
You forgot. They "don't do cars"
Some mechanically adept 6 year olds eventually become mechanics or other trade people.
Hopefully their parents encourage their children to try new things.
Even things which scare mommy and daddy. 😊😊
I wish there was a cure for stupid.
'minutes' ? lol
Quick update on the water outlet "super leak-proof gasket".
After we sent the video, we also discovered the same thing had been done where the water pump housing meets the block. Sadly, this costumer's "friend" cost him a headgasket replacement and having the entire head redone at the machine shop. Luckily, the engine's lower end survived the overheat, and he accepted all the recommended repairs. He won't be visiting that "friend" anymore, if he in fact exists ;-)
Ouch, his friend cost him a lot of money.
Thanks for sharing this! If you have any updates with photos or clips feel free to share them with us.
Thank you for adding this update! I wish more people would do that!!!!
FYI, it's customer not costumer
@@FatCatGarfield The owner of the car makes costumes so no correction was required.
Yeah, that's one great big 'IF'.
Always a good laugh when the customers first three words are "My friend installed..."
Yeah, it’s always a “FRIEND !”
@@petermontoya1796 ..or "another shop"...🙄
You never know though. My friend's brother used to do my brakes for me. He was a good dude and liked working on cars. He wouldn't accept payment but I always got him a case of beer anyway. It does happen. Fortunately he knew what he was doing so none of my vehicles ever ended up in a shop with me saying "My friend fixed...".
@@MyNextShotWontMissI find the idea of a buddy who does brake work for free hilarious
@@MyNextShotWontMissas long as he did not replace your calipers with a piece of timber, or brake fluid with soapy water because he had nothing else 😊
1:12 I think that's the first time I saw change preventing change.
Wow, that turbine wheel was really out for blood
never seen turbo carnage like that lol
It must have snapped at really high load, some turbochargers can reach 200k+ rpm. As we can see, results may be brutal
Haul trucks tend to be free floating if it's the really huge ones so that's alot of boost to suddenly let go. @@grishemall
That turbo's name.....................is John Wick!
Bet it was really loud when it happened (basically looks like what would happen if it was shot with a hollow point but obviously a bigger chunk of metal) I'm surprised that spinning chunk of metal even stayed in the engine bay
I don't always replace bolts with screws, but when I do I make sure to use cardboard for a gasket. Holy shit.
Depending on the location cardboard from a cereal box is perfectly acceptable for a gasket
@@sgriffiths1448 Does it need to be gluten free?
@@jeanettejack2152 not in my house!
I keep old cereal boxes for several reasons. They're good for laying small parts I'm painting. I use them to make templates for when I cut aluminum sheet. And then there's the emergency gasket possibility.
@@sgriffiths1448 I've used cardboard for a simple gasket too, at least as in inner core to get a shape.
the spare wheel cover is a classic. i could see myself making that mistake although i'd like to think i would figure it out before going to a mechanic. 😂
The thing is, you have a _rear_ camera that works, you change the spare wheel cover _on the rear,_ then the _rear_ camera doesn't work. So don't you ask yourself what happened _at the rear_ to make it stop working, and go look _at the rear_ and see where that _rear camera_ actually is? And find you have to take the spare wheel cover off to locate it?
I'm fine if the guy had plenty of cash and just didn't want to deal with it, but overall what we mostly see in these videos are people who just can't think straight. I used to do car stuff as a student, and I still do mechanical stuff, but when I take something apart I always ask myself "how is this supposed to work?" (like the thermostat gasket, the draincock on the radiator, really all this nonsense). You'd think some sense would warn people not to mess with things when they have no idea how they work and can't work it out.
@@SloverOfTeuthhey, this is basic problem solving, don't you ever assume that normal customers can perform such simple logic. They have a hard enough time figuring out electric parking brakes, Apple Carplay, and capless fuel filler systems.
@@Hawk7886 Plus they might be so overwhelmed with their daily shit that they don't want to put any attention to car issues.
@@SloverOfTeuthcritical thinking and problem solving skills are becoming more rare these days. Following common sense into extinction.
@@SloverOfTeuth I get that many people aren't mechanically inclined...but why wouldn't anyone take a picture of the old part in place before doing any work? Take it out/off and look at the replacement part before trying to put it in. Does it match the old one? Does it have mounting points that fit? How does ANYONE put in a radiator upside down?
You would think it would be self-explanatory that the ribbed side of the serpentine belt would match the grooves in the pulley, but, I guess not...
Wow, there you go using logic! Stop it!
Just as you would think that the smooth side of a timing belt would also go against a smooth tensioner pulley.😂😂
I thought those ribs on the pulley were for belt cooling. Not so much contact area.
The question “why can’t you design a trashcan that keeps bears out but lets people put trash in?“ was asked of the national Parks service. Their response was “any design we could come up with that could do that would keep about 40% of the human population from figuring out how to use the trashcan.“. Never underestimate the stupidity of people.
They took the freaking thing off too, you think they would have noticed that
That " new pair of pants " joke never gets old. 😂
Likely new underwear too.
😂😂😂😂
Underwear check aisle 5!
Fortunately, the owner might!
The fact that some of these customers still drive their deathtraps without repairs is terrifying
The German TÜV has its issues, but I'm glad it keeps most deathtraps off the road.
Even worse they attempt to do their own repairs and the vehicles are in more dangerous condition.
@@VintageCars999 yeah… I don’t understand how some of these people think what they’re doing is anywhere near OK
@@DoctorX17 yeah like installing your drive belt inside out. Something that simple shouldn't be hard to figure out, unless of course they drove it until the old one snapped off but even I know which way the belt goes on.
Even worse they can't read the cap and somehow put the wrong fluids in; coolant in the oil for example.
@@VintageCars999 the worst is when they do things like cut sections of frame to “fit” things or use deck screws to attach things and just put them thru frame or cables or the fuel tank…
It's amazing how many people on this channel lack the basic problem solving skills that crows have- so I guess "birdbrain" would be a compliment for them. It's a wonder some of these people manage to remember to breathe.
..... or feed themselves!

There is, the place where patients go to be cured is called congress.

I want to take a moment to praise that customer with the cracked trans case.
They told the truth. They got it into a mechanic for second opinion AND they didnt try to cover it up with RTV silicone.
I dont know who you are, but I hope you got a discount for doing the right thing.
I'm wondering how they escaped being under it when it happened.
Well he didn't lift/secure his car safely...
@@VintageCars999 yeah he screwed up sure, but he isn't one of those annoying people who always blames it on their friend that totally exists.
Chickenwire and bodyfiller would have fixed that just fine ...
Why would they get a discount?
Had a good laugh over the guy that refused to fix his timing belt 3 times and now needs a new engine. Serves him right. 🤣😂😅
these days I always see if there is a video on the car thing I do or try to do.
I hope they just didn’t have the money, and didn’t refuse because they were cheap! Or didn’t believe it was THAT serious!
timing belts them selves are not that expensive($40-$60). it's the labor that costs an arm n a leg depending on type and orientation of the engine. @@mr.carguy3161
@@mr.carguy3161 Some people gave to learn the hard way that an ounce of prevention is cheaper than a pound of cure. I had the same thing happen to an old Honda civic I owned 20 yrs ago except I didn't get a warning from my mechanic. Wrote the car off because rebuilding the engine would cost more than the car was worth.
I mean after THREE times of being told to change it, they definitely should have done something lol. But I also HATE that if this little rubber belt happens to snap, your engine is destroyed. That's just crazy to me
That last one is a good reminder. I caught myself lately, not taking welding safety as seriously as I should lately. (I sparked a few things when not paying attention to where the ground clamp and welding electrode were) It is really easy to forget that the tools we use regularly need to always be treated with care.
I always treat dangerous things with care and my full attention.
Always.
@@rogerwilco2bet you are older
Underrated comment, welding safety is no joke.
@@snowgorilla9789bet they aren't
Yeah, years ago was doing a hydro static test on the 30 story high-rise. 200psi on the fire sprinkler standpipe. Went to remove the plug for the drip point and didn't realize the flapper for the FDC was still closed. Released all the pressure into a small crawl space and it was pointing at my only escape. Needless to say I got a little wet. Learned real quick the importance of when loosening a fitting, if it's not coming loose and you're not able to wiggle it, there's a very good chance it's still under pressure. Luckily I was standing to the side of the plug so didn't take it to the face.
I love how there is still bark on those wood blocks LOL.
Can disagree its actually a good fix tho... bark for extra grip! xD
My mum used something similar. Rubber extensions. She was short.
I'm not very tall, I modeled 3d printed a device that extends the clutch pedal by basically making a thicker pedal (and you take off the pedal cover and reattach it to the new part), allows me to be at a reasonable position behind the wheel too. I used TPU which is a flexible material but when printed with enough infill it is quite durable. I find this to be an issue with just the clutch.
@@wilkinru Probably because you want full travel on the clutch pedal to reduce gear grinding.
@@soaringvulture well, yes I want to push the clutch fully in and not be so close to the wheel.
Okay, for context, I'm a welder
The last clip, dude either did that on purpose, is deaf, or has earbuds in. If you try taking a regulator off a bottle while it's still open, there are several warning signs you have to willfully ignore to get that to happen. The loud hissing coming from it as soon as you break the regulator loose should be where you realize
Any time someone says, “I installed…, or a friend installed…” You know the mechanic is in for a fun time.
I like the extra narration you're doing to help explain some of the situations. Keep up the great work!
Yes, that really helps me understand the horror we're seeing. 😂
The “friend” needs to apply for a patent on the gasket that seals everything up tight - to include the actual coolant passages 😅
How someone is smart enough to cut their own gasket yet stupid enough to leave the passage intact is boggling my mind!
Better to use cardboard so that it can vent any "extra" pressure in the system
@@jeanettejack2152I'd bet $20 they were old. The modern generation does not remotely mess with gasket paper.
@@Hawk7886 The modern generation doesn't do anything mechanical.
@@jeanettejack2152 Did you see the same gasket I saw? He cut a piece of gasket material in a trapezoid shape, punched out holes for the bolts and slapped it on. He didn't actually cut out a gasket.
Radiator installed upside down? That's an all time classic!!
I'd like to know how he did that considering they usually can only go one way due to the line placements..
Room temperature IQ helps....@@VintageCars999
@@VintageCars999not to mention the cap...
So, to fill the rad, you'd have to flip the car upside down to take the cap off?
This sounds like a macho man who likes to proof to bystanders he can fix it in a short time. Maybe along the way he'll see his mistake but it would be too embarrassing for him to go back.
Use cardboard as a gasket must be one of those hot Tik-Tok tips!
I’m old and you would be surprised the things I have used in 45 years of repair work on equipment 100 miles away from civilization.
I've done it as a roadside repair using a breakfast cereal box (gasket between the oil filter housing and the cylinder block), but not as a permanent repair. Roadside assistance doesn't exist in Africa!
@@cameronwood1994 it works in a jam 👍
Long ago it used to be common - for some things, it is a randomly oriented fibre material, a good material. But gaskets are probably more stressed now, and some sealing systems are highly engineered and require the right fittings. One obvious example is that engine coolant systems didn't used to be pressurised.
@@cameronwood1994 that kind of paper would actually make a really good gasket . many gaskets used to be paper like a thermostat gasket for instance. wouldn't use it as an exhaust gasket but would be good for many other things.
that timing belt is pure gold, don't wanna change a cheap belt in time? change the whole engine now)
Well, to be fair, cheap is a relative term. The belt is $100 or more, and a lot of shops charge 3 or more hours of labor for it on even the easy ones. Granted, that $600 bill is cheaper than an entire head replacement when someone rolls the dice and comes up snake eyes, but still, I get it.
Years ago a mate of mine had a Volvo. I gave him a new timing belt because his was well overdue for replacement. About 2 years later I got a call from him - 10pm on a winters night - he was marooned about 160kms away. Yep, he hadn't changed the belt. And yes, I had to go and tow him home....
Pay me now, or pay me later.
@@alexbrown1995 LOL, derp...snake eyes!
That was an Acura TL ( with the broken Belt ) and that currently costs about $1,000 and up to do the timing belt and water pump .
Its just a part of maintenence that you have to do every 100k miles .
I know because I have one .
Also how do you install a radiator upside down and get all your lines hooked up? 😂
Man, props to those that are actually trying to do their own work, some of them are complete fails, but more because of being inexperienced (I was there myself once).
The people who don't open their trunk to stop the thing rolling around and making a thumping noise so they take it to a shop and waste everyone's time? You shouldn't have a license.
easy money!
Just call it the dumb tax 😂
When I learned about what an interference engine means, AND that my car has one, best believe I have respect for that timing belt lol
Went and got a new one even though it didn't quite need it yet 😅
Better safe than sorry.
Those tanks are scary business. A student in my highschool shop class let a car down on the torch set and snapped the regulator off the O2 and cracked the acetylene tank. The O2 tank was spinning end over end. The entire school was evacuated. The firefighter strutted into the shop like he was cock of the walk and ran out like Forrest Gump. It was quite the sight to behold.
That was equally terrifying and hilarious to read, have seen some loose gas tanks in my days and those are at least new pants required situations.
Those things are not to be taken lightly and definitely handled with care.
🤣🤣
Student likely needed new pants and only got a veritable new hole ripped in him after that.
watching Mythbusters tackle the busted high pressure tank was all I needed. They can literally become rockets, plowing through cinder block walls like they're paper.
@@wayneswonderarium that why most shops have steel plate covering the bottom 12 inches or so of the walls
2:58 as a welder for more than 20 years i approve this message 😂
my welding instructor taught us to turn off the main valves every time we were done using the gas. no exceptions whatsoever.
Yeah, I was shown why we turn them off in my welding class, it wasn't full but it was full enough to show why being a dumb-ass can get you and everyone around you deaded.
that had to hurt the ears when that regulator came off. I cracked open a helium tank at work to see if was empty and damn near blew out my ear drums.
At my Dad's work they found the acetylene long gas tank (might have been the oxygen tank) about a mile away in somebody's roof in their house (unsure how it happened but there was a bang, a small hole in the roof and no tank any more in the welding area)
@@leexgxwtf
@@leexgxwould have been oxygen. Acetylene isn't under near as much pressure. I have heard stories of guys on a construction site on a river, laying down O2 tanks, and knocking off the valves, flying them into the river.
Haha, I used to work with compressed gases a lot and was always terrified I would forget to turn a valve off before removing a regulator or hose, so would usually check it multiple times. I have no regrets!
Any time I have to work with anything under pressure, I get nervous.
Every time I walk past my oxy-acetylene outfit I give the valves a twist, just to be sure they're closed. Check it once. Check it again. Is the valve closed? Check it again.
What amazes me is the guy continued to wrench on the coupling nut of the regulator. A proper fitment does NOT require continued wrenching. If you can't spin the nut by hand after cracking it loose and venting the tiny bit of trapped gas, something is wrong. Stop, reassess and make sure the tank valve is in fact shut. This is also why you should never backseat a valve unless directed or absolutely necessary as it can bind and give a false 'shut' indication.
Sometimes a little OCD behavior can be a good thing.
@@acmhfmggruSomeone filled their argon tank and forgot to shut off the gas after doing a 3" tig weld. Slight leak...
Most expensive weld they ever made 🥲
These videos always remind me of a personal story.
My dad's first Mercedes-Benz was what we call a Monday car, everything possible go wrong at the worst time.
One of many stories about that car:
First vacation trip in it together with mom and bringing the caravan hitched on, it developed an intermittent issue on the first hill they meet, changing the focus of the vacation from both relaxing to dad stopping at every open garage to get help but noone figured it out the whole two weeks trip.
Then he took it on a garage tour, visiting so many garages that we lost count.
The last garage that he visited, had a new apprentice look at the issue after their seasoned staff hadn't figured it out yet.
The apprentice found the issue, the valves in the intake manifold were plastic and the plastic bar that connected it to the regulator was snapped in the hole on the regulator side.
So those valves was sometimes held in place but sometimes reduced the flow causing a safety mode to trigger.
The safety mode was reset either manually or automatically when the valves wasn't restricting the airflow anymore until the valves closed again.
Sometimes an issue is so hard to spot that a fresh pair of eyes checks what shouldn't be wrong.
Dad had that car to every type of garages, from one man in their private garage to brand dealership garages, several of every type until the solution was found by a different brand dealership garage.
I agree with the need of a fresh eye when you are stuck on a repair.
I used to a ask a friend, or put it aside, have a good night and go back on the next day
Most of the times, tricky failures are due to some simple thing. And you ask your friend to kick you in the back as a punishment as it took you hours to figure out what’s wrong. It is also probably because major failures are so evident that you don’t need to look twice and mess around.
I had an old Hilux Surf that was always having issues with the radiator top tank. Found my forever mechanic when I took it into one shop for a service and the dude popped the hood, looked into the engine bay, looked back at me and asked why there was a corolla radiator in there. Everyone else had been trying to fit the standard radiator top tank to it, or occasionally making custom top tanks, none of them thinking to ask WHY the top tank they had wasn't fitting properly.
Hope that new apprentice has done well for himself since then. :D
2:48 Sometimes the shops lie to get money out of customers. This was not one of those times. lol
@@WhiteG60 and now how much are they spending? new engine plus labor about 4-5 times that price with a used engine.
@@WhiteG60$800? In just parts maybe, lol.
Does not matter. Y’all act as if it being more expensive later means anything. It doesn’t. If a customer cannot afford it, they cannot afford it. Being 5x more expensive down the line isn’t going to make that card undecline.
@@baddriversofthenorcalarea500 It means a lot. Being 5x more expensive means that now that person is even in worse shape. If they can't afford a replacement engine, and they couldn't afford a much cheaper maintenance service, you think they're going to be able to afford a replacement car?
@@WhiteG60since the title of that section of video is "used engine installed", I doubt your figures would be achievable. Have you seen what a used car goes for these days? Even beaters are expensive now
That tank was surprisingly docile. I've seen videos of welding tanks going through cinder block walls when the top gets damaged.
hopefully he was changing it cause it was near empty.
Yeah, the fact that it just let out a big burst then stopped means it was basically empty. If it was near full, it would have been spinning fast enough to go into orbit
Nice gear “Change” 😂😂

A guy I knew got t-boned by someone who ran through a stop sign. When they approached the van that hit him, they found the driver sitting on a kitchen chair instead of the original seat. When he tried to apply the brakes, the chair slid back.
One of the stories today rminds me of the time a fellow I know installed new radiator hoses in his Jeep, after which it started overheating. After much fussing with it, including a visit to a shop, he (or maybe it was the shop) found that he had not removed the end caps on the new hoses before installing them. Ooops, coolant doesn't flow very well with the hose blocked!
We live in an age now that when the shop tells you need something, people think they are just trying to rip you off.
a lot of people can't afford to pay $100/hr for labor
Sure, but the trouble is a lot of shops can´t afford to charge you less. @@dax_prime1053
@@dax_prime1053 But then they'll have to pay $1000 in labour , or more, to get a new engine installed, and that's not including the engine.
Unfortunately, when that is becoming increasingly true, people are bound to be a little too paranoid 🤷♂️
How many problema could be prevented by just taking a picture before start working on the car, and to check if looks the same afterwards. Great video!
I put a zip tie on a friends drive shaft, he complained about the noise for months, but didn’t once bend down to look to see where it was coming from.🤣
Never touch your friends shaft!
There have been a few of those on here 😂
The customer who added wood to their pedals is a chip off the old block 😂😂
He was defiantly a different character. I had a good laugh
Wow! When I was 19 I worked at an Exxon service station. That would have been in 1980. We had a lady bring in a 1976 Oldsmobile 98 Regency with the 455 engine making a loud ticking sound. When the mechanic asked her when she had last had an oil change, she told him she never did! She said that the car had oil in it when she bought it new, and she didn’t believe she had to have the oil changed! She told him that “there was oil in it so she just left it alone!!” 40,000 miles later the engine was in need of a rebuild.
The fellow pulling off that regulator got so lucky. Have seen the aftermath of one those tanks departing the work shop and going through the wall of the hanger building on its way out to the flight line to play among the aircraft parked out there.
That's what I was thinking. But the tank was probably getting low, so he was removing the regulator to swap tanks.
He may want to rethink how the tanks are secured, and to what. Compressed gas safety isn't that hard but seems to elude too many people.

Maybe it was some Feng Sui arrangement.
some times while driving if i go to shift and something is blocking it i instantly look to see what is blocking it.....its almost always the keys........yes the ignition switch is just in front of the shifter. not from the factory, i put it there cause the column switch broke and i took out the steering lock.

@@jayjaynella4539 Nah, I see 50 pence pieces in there. It's a Pom, no doubting it.
Yeah its not hard, basically everyone in the UK passed the test in a regular manual car. If I remember right its something like 2% of people have auto only licence
LOL @ needing a new pair of pants after undoing the tanks 💩
Suppose it's better than needing a new face!
tank-empty
pants-full
I would by the guy new pants, except I don't feel I can trust him to install them the right way round.
It always amazes me that so many people survive to adulthood. Why hasn't Darwin gotten them yet ??
too many in line
Strong men built a safe world.
Good lord hasn’t pulled their number yet. I have 3 die from stupidity in 45 years of heavy equipment repair.😢
Unfortunately, they may be responsible for other people not making it to adulthood.
@@markoman5267aaaaaaand a lot of people have saved their lives. Multiple times. Typically every day. While they drive.
Those videos prove that Idiocracy isn't a documentary after all, but an optimistic tale of a brighter future.
One thing that helps me get through these dark times is watching your hilarious channel - always makes me feel that I am not so dumb.
I guess the title for the guy in the last (explosive) clip would be;
Just Blew Out.
In his shorts that is....
I swear I live for these videos 😂
I hear you on that !!
I never thought people could get this special
Some friend. Entirely covered the water pump cavity.😱🤣
That last guy with the gas tank got super, super lucky. He had that valve almost aimed at his face. If that had been aimed at him, or if the tank hadn’t been basically empty, he’d have been really seriously injured. Possibly others around him as well
is there a steel cage or something to strap down a tank when removing gauges??
in the Army we had to use a hefty steel cage that was mounted to an outside wall for truck tire repairs.
Our "cherry prank" was to have a new driver replace a split rim tire. one of us would hid around the corner with a metal pipe and wait until the cage was closed b4 wacking the crap out of it. the poor cherry was always stuck between needing new pants or cardiac arrest. the prank never got old.
"Brawndo... It's got what plants crave."
It's got electrolytes.
Okay - what are electrolytes? Do you know?
Yeah. It's what they use to make Brawndo.'
But why do they use them in Brawndo? What do they do?
''They're part of what plants crave.
'But why do plants crave them?'
Because plants crave Brawndo, and Brawndo has electrolytes.
" He just needs a new pair of pants ". Technician declines pants service 🤣
When I was 12 my dad taught me to drive our old tractor, I could reach the pedals but I couldn't quite push them all way down, especially the clutch. Dad fastened a few blocks of wood with cable ties to the pedals and I was good to go.
Friends don’t let (some) friends work on there friends cars.
Removed the change from the shifter and $150 from the customer's wallet!
Now that's some double dipping into the customer's money.
I want to see Just Rolled In Allstars with a compilation of the dumbest, meaning, the ones where any other person could see the problem. For instance, the right turn signal that wouldn't stay set because a purse was hanging on the lever, air conditioning that didn't work because none was installed, the glove box that wouldn't stay shut because there's junk blocking the latch, and all the cars that smelled like gas because there's a can of gas in the back seat. Stuff like that.
"...needs new pair of pants..." Perfectly timed, killed me!
My favorite this time is the customer who declined to have their timing belt replaced on their last two visits. Maybe they will get a new timing belt with their new engine.
The saddest one is the person who had their jack stand slip. That could happen to almost anyone.
They'd probably pay for a junkyard engine, so odds are good the timing belt may be old
There are very few things more satisfying than a customer refusing repairs multiple times just to come back with a blown engine.
I liked the last one. Boneheaded moves are not just the end users but also techs. We all do it, and we all laugh and learn (hopefully!).
Cardboard gasket? You're going to risk your engine by cheaping out on a gasket?
For Pete's sake How can you put a serpentine belt upside down? Or Self making gaskets without a hole to let the coolant flow. Amazing
Imagine if the friend was planning on just poking holes in the homemade gasket with a pencil before reinstalling the housing -- but forgot.
Wait, don't water pumps come with gaskets anymore???????😮
I just bought one and the gasket was extra. good thing I asked if one was included. @@larryjohns8823
"He just needed a new pair of pants." Thank you so much for the big laugh I needed today!
This one is the best yet. Omg dude I laughed my ass off the whole time
Some of these really feel like asking the audience on the $100 question.
You have to give the customer some credit, he reused the evil spring clamps. Mine always jump right into the recycle bin.
Those spring clamps are actually better than worm-gear hose clamps. As the rubber takes a set after being clamped, the spring clamp keeps the hose tight, while a worm-drive will need constant retightening. I only learned this about 8 years ago.
@@61rampy65 I have been driving way more years than I care to admit. I have never had to retighten a worm drive.
Being a farm kid and learning to take care of machinery and tractors, has made my life considerably easier. On my first real off farm job, I at 18 I hired on with the local township road district, Back in 72. They had a pair of GM c 60 dump trucks. I got to haul aggregate from the quarry for the district road oiling program. The truck was basically only 2 yrs old, and was burning about 2 quarts a day and some times the lifters rattled a lot. Asked the boss when the last time they changed the oil, got the answer It's new, don't need any such thing! Well at 30000 miles still with the factory break in oil, it was like tar. Now this is in severe dust conditions, finally got them to allow me to change it, the 2 quart filter was a total solid lump, had to literally chisel and dig out the element from the cannister. After that it always used oil and sometimes the lifters wouldn't quiet down. I doctored it with a qt of ATF to the oil every now and then and doctored it along for another 100000 miles til I found better employment! Some people that should know better but still do stupid things!
After watching a good few of this video, I'm quite a bit impressed by some of those simple, straight forward logic thinking, solutions to the issues of customers, they could have done for themselves.(coins in the gearshift sleeve).
Sometimes, when i watch these videos i ask myself how humanity made it that far... How are some people able to survive a normal day?
This is why aliens haven't invaded and used humans as slave labour, it would be a frikkin russian roulette. Did I get a good human or one that will cripple my 10k gribnar ship in less than 4 parsecs?.
@@kittehgo Those idiot aliens who crashed in Roswell did something just as stupid as humans let's be honest. Probably neglected cleaning out the hydrogen fusion drive, leading to a helium fusion runaway. How they could forget such basic maintenance is beyond me.
You know when a customer says...my friend installed this,my friend installed that...well...,I'm that friend.😂😂😅😊
Watching these videos makes me soo glad that I was interested in auto tech back in highschool. The amount of money I saved by being able to correctly diagnose and fix my family's cars goes up into the thousands! The only thing I won't ever mess with are the tires. I'll continue to leave that, and other things that I can't correctly fix to the qualied technisions. . At least until I have the tools and skill to fix those things myself. Lol.
Comments:
- Love your videos!
- Scary to think these cars/drivers are on the road.
- How can these customers do this stuff and still breathe?
- “Customer declined repairs,” so sad.
- We all know the customer did it, not another shop.
- “Customer accepted repairs,” woah fr?!
- Props to that customer for fessing up right away.
- [clip] was impressive.
- When I was 17, my dad was having trouble with the vehicles at work. He discovered our employer was using doughnut custard for axle grease.
That gasket is better value for money than the manufactured ones. It's cheaper AND it contains about 400% more material as well. Bargain!
Seriously though, what is it this week with the gaskets and the belts?!?
Like, those are things you just don't change unless you really know that you're someone who knows what they're doing with engines.
Bah, they're relatively self-explanatory devices
Or at least they are supposed to be. I weep for the future of this species
When the shop warns you about having your timing belt replaced, have your timing belt replaced.
But, but. . . .they are SO expensive!!!!! I'll just fix it if it breaks....
"and just needs a new pair of pants". 😂😂😂
That dude was lucky with that gas bottle, you can see the brown spot forming on his pants 🤣
Some people should be banned from do it yourself auto repair
Somehow, this one is actually tame by the your standards. 😂😂😂
I thought their was a lot of stupid in this episode lol.
not installing belts correctly, upside down radiator etc.
@@JustRolledIn Oh there definitely was, but some of the stupid on the other videos makes me worried for humanity. These just made me giggle.
Rules for belts. Smooth on Smooth and Groove on Groove.. learn it. Live it
I feel like just looking at the belt and pulleys should make it obvious.
Just here for my favorite part of the day. Just rolled in
Poeple are so ignorant. I honestly can't believe it sometimes.
The last guy " just needs a new pair of pants " - or DEPENDS ! 😂 As a kid , I worked in a printer . The kids always messed around . They threw a can of ink across the room . It hit overhead fluorescent lights . ALL the glass rained down on a worker with a large AFRO . He thought I did it . I was picked up under the arms and deposited in the dumpster ! The guy then left and said " I am headed home for a shower " !😂😂😂😂
wtf
Great video as always....and that toyota top left at the end....i want it!!!!
At what point does a shop here “my buddy worked in my car” and just say no
Often. The usual response is, "That's a shame. Get in touch with your buddy or be prepared to authorize a lot of money"
