F-150 Steering Squeak - Pitman Arm Replacement
Просмотров 4,9 тыс.Год назад
Here is a pitman arm replacement on a 1997 F-150 4x4. The pitman arm removal tool initially would not budge the stuck arm. After lots of persuasion, eventually the puller was able to do the trick albeit at an angle. Thanks for watching DWG!
Infiniti G35 & 350Z Transmission Drain/Fill
Просмотров 19 тыс.Год назад
Here is a simple drain & fill procedure that should apply to your G35 and 350Z. If you are worried about doing a complete transmission flush (like me) then a few of these should help you on your way. After completing the initial three drain/fills, I intend to do just one every 30K miles. Go out and DoWitt!

How To: DIY Drum Brake Rebuild
Просмотров 357Год назад
Here is an overview of the drum brake replacement on my 1997 F-150. Enjoy! Also, I called them brake pads many times, however, if you're looking to replace them they are actually brake shoes. The self adjusters on these older trucks are notorious for seizing up. If your brake pedal doesn't feel like it used to they are a great place to start. Go DoWitt!

How To: Infiniti G35 Ignition Coil Swap
Просмотров 589Год назад
A short video on how to swap the #1 cylinder coil on an Infiniti (Nissan) 3.5 V6. I had one go bad and decided to swap all of them. That isn't necessarily always the case, but I didn't want to worry about them going forward. If you only wanted to replace the bad one, that is generally okay. Go DoWitt!

Here's an overview of a radiator swap on my G. With the plastic ends coupled to the aluminum center, the stock radiators are prone to cracking. The whole process took about two hours and $150 in materials. A simple DIY if you're willing to DoWitt!

They saw you coming boy
This is an excellent, complete video. Thank you. Did this yesterday with Idemitsu Type J - NO LONGER MANUFACTURED! I bought the last units from the local supplier. Been driving slowly all day with fresh Matic J and Ultra Platinum 5W30 on this 81F sunny Sunday in October. Such a nice drive and day.
What about using lucas transmission slipping fluid along with a new automatic trans fluid replacement?
Does this work on a 94 ranger
does the car really have to be completely level to do this, or can i just jack up the front?
what size is that transmission drain nut? need to do one on mine
btw, have you had a little tranny kick when the car was cold, lets say 1-5 min after you turned it on and switching between gears?
cool, thanks for the video!
How are the coils holding up boss? Assuming you did all 6 with the same brand ?
I have a 2003 G35 coupe with 87,000 miles on it. It's never had a transmission flush done to it. Would it be wise to do a flush or drain and fill?
I built my house myself for 50k Crazy shit
What is your wall color?
I just drained mines today and 5 qt came out is that normal? I have a 2005 g35x
Nice easy to follow video. I didn't know you could use “S” fluid in place of “J” you confirmed it, thanks. I notice your airbag light doesn’t blink, would you be interested in doing a video on how to fix a blinking airbag light, not where you turn the ignition key off and on 4 to 6x’s to reset that doesn’t work. Thanks
Isn’t matic s atf too thin for tranny designed for matic j?
Body looks to be in good shape.
Great vid thx! So I'm getting 5 volts at hi side sensor and 12 at low side . But clutch still don't engage when jumped like you do in this video. New compressor and clutch last year. Fuses and relays are good. Any ideas?
Question is your transmission a closed one
This was a very good video, you showed everything step by step amazing keep it up !!!!!!
Damn you got ripped off
my 05 350z at 114k miles auto trans fluid was prob never changed before, it started shifting so slow and super rough at 3rd and 4th, sometimes wouldnt shift to 5th on the highway. really scary just having 4th gear on a highway going 65+ mph and youre already at 4k rpms, shift slips at 4th gear after cold start, manual mode didnt work and it was just bad after driving on a cold start. i did a drain and fill with 4 1/2 quarts with oem nissan trans fluid from the dealer and shifts are remarkably smoother, 2-3 shift is not as grabby and 5th gear works!! the trans fluid didnt look burnt or black it was brown/pinkish. thanks for the video it helps a lot!
Did your Manual mode ever work again bc mine acts really weird
Who did you go through to build ?
I have a 2006 FX45 that Im wanting to do a drain and fill. It has the 5 speed, and I was wondering if your Infiniti has the same 5 speed transmission. Thanks. 😊
I’m frankly not sure, but I believe the G35 and 350z shared drivetrain with the FX35, thus making them likely different. However, I would suspect the process to be similar.
What other fluids can be used ???
Matic J and matic S only
What does it mean if I’m not getting the 12 volts to the high side? Does that mean I need a new computer?
I’d say either that, or a bad switch in the dash. Be sure and check fuses as well.
I know this is dumb but where did you get your radiator from, I’ve been looking at RockAuto but just wanna do more research and not get a bad brand that made these.
Not dumb at all. I got mine through Amazon, and it appeared about the same quality as the OEM that I took out. I figure if the original lasted over 200k miles, I’m okay with that.
Thank you! Exactly what I needed to fix my '01 5.4L A/C compressor problem
So my 06 f150 has an entire new ac system ive replaced everything but the evaporator core. I vaccumed down the system for 45 minutes filled with r134a the ac does work but its not right its doing the same thing it always has. You start the truck and the ac is kinda cool you start driving and boom ac is amazing then it will idle with cold ac shut off truck start again ac is just cool again. Hook up gauges and during idle im getting 370psi high side and 45 psi low. If i leave it idling and rev engine while blowing air across the condensor to simulate driving it will randomly drop high side from 370psi down to 220 psi and its works perfect what the hell is going on im stumped
1. Did you jack up your car or were you able to drain atf without jacking it up? 2. Did you warm up atf before opening the drain bolt? 3. How much quarts of old atf came out?
Ouch! $30k same size.
Who did you go through?
You got the easiest one but now let’s see how you did the other two on that side.
The same way, but you may have to move some more of the harness out of your way. You can reasonably swap all of the coils in 45 minutes or so.
$40/sq ft seems to be the standard for pole barns.
You’re right. I work in real estate and that’s what we’ve seen for a couple years now. Especially including concrete, trusses every 4 feet, etc. Thanks for watching.
awesome building!!
Thank you!
What gauge did you use to measure the pressure?
It’s just a standard gauge like you’d see at a parts store that comes packaged with a can of refrigerant.
Do you know why my ac line is cold but still blows warm air? 1998 f150
Have you checked your blend door? I had to replace mine a few years ago. They’re $25 for a kit. Mine was blowing warm air all the time prior to the fix.
Bro I need help bro
having the same issue replaced my compressor and it just keeps blowing my 10am fuse ( A/C clutch) i’m not sure why
Would this be a problem when a compressor kicks on for 3 sec, shuts off, kicks back on in 15 sec for another 3 sec, shuts off, and continues this cycle? I just replaced my ac system because of this and it's still doing this. Now getting into electrical stuff.
Have you checked your refrigerant level?
Did you figure it out?
Shocks
30 to 36 a sq foot is reasonable🤠
You know your stuff! My thoughts exactly. Thanks for watching.
Perhaps buy yourself a torque wrench? You almost killed that drain bolt.
Not even close.
Definitely overtightened that little sucker....I was ready to watch the threads rip out of the pan! 😳
I have a 04 g35 atoumatic it has 142k miles idk how the past owner took care of it should I do this bc my oil is brown and driving funny
I would certainly recommend completing a drain and fill procedure, preferably three spaced between 2,500-10,000 miles. Your transmission fluid should be bright red.
I have one of those. A 99. I use it to haul my kayak to and from the lake and goof around the neighborhood. It always needs choke even if it has just ran if you want it to start in one bump. Enjoy!
Good to know. They must all just be a little cold blooded. Thanks! I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying yours as well.
the lowest quotes i was getting in early 2024 were in the $65k range in ohio, with one coming in at $95k for a 30x40x16 with 2 14x12 garage doors and a 10 foot lean on one side. the prices have literally doubled over a couple years.
No doubt. Hate that yours were so high. My uncle was quoted around $20k just for a lean to on his 40x60. I naively thought I could build my shop for $35k or so when I set out. My head was stuck in 2019 prices! Thanks for watching.
Have a 2010 600 no key but want to start working on it but im very impatient, and don’t want to wait for the new ignition. How can I start it
That’s a tough one. Personally, I’d put the tools down and wait for the replacement ignition. Or, I’ve had good luck with having a locksmith make a replacement key. You can also take your VIN to a Kawasaki dealer and they should be able to cut a new key. They may require proof of ownership. Thanks for watching!
Harbor freight has a remote start . It's 2 wires place them on the starter top screw(red) and( black) connector just below the red wire . Works very good
51 grabd for that dinky shop

Question young man do I need to replace the filter in the transmission or just drain or fill will be ok
Good question! The transmission has a lifetime filter screen in it. Just a drain and fill will be fine. For reference, mine has almost 220k miles and the transmission has never been opened. Thanks for watching!
Do we neend to change transmision oil?
What do you mean?
I have a 2004 mule 550. It still runs today with original parts. If you treat it right it'll last forever
Good to hear, glad yours is still going!
Thank you for the video had the exact same issue and was able to fix it myself. 🙂
Awesome, thank you for watching!
