Awww…that’s so sweet 😁

I know. We think snow is so great, but Canadians have more snow than you’ll ever need

That one is on a more in depth video other than a short. Right hand drive overview. (Mail delivery) ruclips.net/video/Dq02AGgZ42I/видео.html

Thanks for pointing that out though. I will make a video that will go through the whole process from disassembling the factory steering wheel to making the other one.

That's a bad ass second wheel! Wish I could get one up on my whip!!

I didn’t keep that line long. Before I had any issues with it, I changed it out for a brass/copper line. I had it for years before I sold the truck. By the way, I live in Florida…so HOT

thanks for the reply

Yeah…I forgot to mention that

I did, yes. The pedal kit was an easy install. I’ll be putting out a video shortly on it. This is the vehicle I will be using for my route.

Thank you! I try to do my part

Thanks!

Ha! That is one downside to having a roof top cargo box. Thankfully, the Scion xB isn’t that tall

The purple has definitely grown on me. I call it the “Purple Nurple” or “Nerpie” for short

@mailmanmechanic lol

I haven’t installed it yet but will by this weekend. There might be a slight amount of net loss but shouldn’t be that much if even negligible. My average speed on the route is about 14 mph. I had the same roof box on my Kia Sedona and there was no difference in mpg loss due to the average slow speed. By the way, I’m averaging approximately 22 mpg while on the route compared to about 7 mpg in the Caravan.

I have used one on my xb and effect on mpg was negligible. Remember the xb is already as aerodynamic as a brick!

🤣so true

@@mailmanmechanic 1. Title too long-not SEO friendly, 2. Description too short-not have keywords, 3.tags too short-not high rank volume tags, 4.Not doing checklist 5.backlinks- need to fix

@@mailmanmechanic Do you want to fix?

Thank you for watching! I hope it helps

I’ll add a warning line to the description. I would hope that anyone brave enough to do this job would be highly aware that gasoline goes BOOM! However, you are absolutely right. Thank you

Haha, especially when it tries to knock you out

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you!

Thank you! Not a difficult job as you see

It did get really hot. The previous owner lent it out to a family member who crashed and then proceeded to drive it till it overheated causing the head gasket to blow. This, the head gasket replacement and head job at the machine shop

That’s a way to find a vacuum leak as well. Thanks for watching

Yes it was. I have been trying to narrow it down to finally get to the main issue. The engine is running the best it has ever since I’ve had the vehicle, but it does have some low compression due to ring wear. So it’s the best is gonna get unless I rebuild it. Just gonna drive it, the way it is, and even so it is quite fun. Thank you for subscribing and even sending me a message. May the Lord bless you

HA! Me too! It will be better for you all if I constantly have issues though, so I can make more videos. Hopefully, the VVT solenoids do it for you. Sometimes it can be the fuel injectors, but that is as much more easier to diagnose with a very good computer.

Could be. Mine never actually produced a vvt code till after I unplugged it. I wanted to see if it was getting any voltage. My engine is running MUCH smoother now since I replaced that solenoid however, it is a high mileage engine with fairly low compression compared to factory specs. The first gen xB engine has a flaw in which the compression chambers weren’t completely round. Over time, compression would decrease and some oil burn would occur. Have you checked for vacuum leaks as well as replaced the spark plugs?

@mailmanmechanic thank you for the rpl. Next is the compression test, and yes, I have new spark plugs and new coils

Thanks for watching

You are MOST definitely welcome! Thank you for watching and sending that encouragement!

I did look for a vacuum leak before this issue and found a couple. “Rough idle? Vacuum leak!” ruclips.net/video/Ms3LompAhzo/видео.html This issue happened suddenly

I’ll try that. I still have the old one. I had the new one when I recorded that video but I’ll make another explaining the testing of it. Thanks for watching

I know, right! Just think…this 2004 is considered “old” and just a basic car. It seems a lot of these new cars are basically a computer on wheels

You're welcome!

Thank you! Glad you think so

For the brakes…no. Not on the 02-07 Town and Country. Is that what you are asking?

@@mailmanmechanic yes. I understand that modern vehicles need scanner to inform the ECU of something or other 🤦‍♂️

Yea, your right. Thankfully that year and model doesn’t

I sure did a few days later. Thanks for pointing that out!

Will do!

I’ll look into getting one

Thanks @FranzJx I hope you are clear from it too. The xB…she’s good 😊

Glad to help. I hope this helps you resolve the rough idle. Thank you for commenting!

Great info on an alternative way to search for a vacuum leak. Thank you for commenting.

Sorry it took me so long to reply to you, I was working today. It took me a while to find it because I thought I bought it on eBay, but I actually bought it at Rockauto.com. www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/kia,2005,sedona,3.5l+v6,1430972,cooling+system,radiator,2172

Awesome! Just hang in there

May I ask what a conditional job offer is? I’m looking to apply and trying to learn as much as possible before pulling the trigger and submitting

@@quentinwilliams5786 if you apply, a conditional job offer is pending the background check which can take awhile.

I applied in 2006. I wasn’t hired till the summer of 2007. It can definitely take a while to get hired.

I’ve updated the description to state “when the service mode doesn’t work.” Thank you for your comment

That’s a pretty good idea!

Thanks!

Yes, I’m going to drive it a bunch today

@@mailmanmechanic YIPPIE!!!

I am loving that zippy, roomy and fun to drive box. I’ve named it, Nurple. As in the Purple Nurple 😁

Thank you for your comment

You’re very welcome 😊.

Overall, my 2004 has been a good one. The drum last quite a long time. The shoes can be aggravating depending on how they were made. One thing I’ve learned is that there were like 3 different sizes of shoes. It all depended on the size tire, year, and drum size. Thank you for watching and commenting

Thanks for the info. I stand corrected.
