Ball Joints, Axle Seals, Sway Bar End Links and Bushings | 1994 Chevy K1500 (Part 1)
In this video, I show the first part of my front end project on my OBS Chevy truck. For this project, there are two main objectives that I'm going after: (1) stopping a leak in the front differential caused by failing axle seals, and (2) replacing the upper and lower ball joints since they are 30 years old and must be disconnected in order to get to the seals. Along the way, I replace the sway bar (stabilizer bar) end links as well as the sway bar bushings, and also the bump stops for the lower control arms. This video focuses on the passenger side and ends with having installed the new parts on the passenger side. Part two will pick up with doing the driver side and HOPEFULLY finishing t...

In this video, I replace the alternator on a 2012 Honda Civic.

    • @benwrenchin
      @benwrenchin День назад

      Depends on who you ask. I actually have 5w30 in this truck right now because it's getting cold outside and I want thinner oil during the winter months. There are benefits and consequences for both and everything in between. The safest response I can give is that you should always use what the oil cap tells you to put in it. You can't go wrong with the oil that the engine was intended to run with.

    Hi Ben, your videos are amazing. I replaced both valve cover before yesterday, took me 3 days to do it. When I turned on the car, it started to smoke coolant from the engine. I filled with coolant every 2-3 minutes. Any suggestion?

    • @benwrenchin
      @benwrenchin 3 дня назад

      There is the tube under the throttle body that is I think the only part of all this that has to do with coolant. I would take your air box back off and reattach that hose. Before you take the air box and intake assembly off, you may try to look around in that area (near the throttle body) and see if that's where the leak is coming from.

    Hey brother. Ive got water leaking from the housing on the drivers side bottom of housing. The drain isnt clogged. Any tips or wisdom on what to do? Thank you

    • @benwrenchin
      @benwrenchin 4 дня назад

      I assume if coolant is leaking then either your heater core is bad or possibly just the seal (o ring) that I show in this short. Either way, to get in there and do all this work, you might as well replace the heater core and expansion valve while you are in there. You said "the drain isn't clogged"... What drain is that? Also, where exactly are you seeing coolant leaking from? Is it coming from in between the housing cover and the fire wall?

    • @850CANE
      @850CANE 4 дня назад

      @benwrenchin Yeah I'm sorry bro. I'm not leaking coolant. It's from when the AC's on. The condensation. The drain isn't clogged I made sure of that. But I'm getting a little drip of water from the bottom of the housing. I'm sorry I don't know what else to call it. The black plastic thing right in the center of the car. 2004 Honda Accord Coupe. I pulled all the carpet up on passenger side. It's on the bottom of the same piece that the drain line connects to but it's on the opposite side. I'm going to have to pull the drivers side apart to get a better look at it. I'm assuming this is the same area that commonly leaks if your drain line is clogged. But mine isn't. Thank you so much for the response!

      I always use a roll of tape because it's round and I always have different sizes. For this particular seal, a block of wood wouldn't fit in the recessed round hole, unless I were to cut it into a circle of the same size. Sometimes a roll of tape is the best option.

    • @benwrenchin
      @benwrenchin 7 дней назад

      The latch on the inside should work, if it doesn't I would see if you have something stuck in the door. If there's nothing pinched in the door then I don't know why the manual latch wouldn't work.

    Doing something similar to mine, I’m currently replacing both lower ball joints and upper control arms, after doing those I decided to do shocks since the bushings were bad and after taking those apart I decided to the Cv axles after the boots ripped 😅 then after putting the passenger side shock I find out my head gasket is about to blow after I see coolant slowly seeping from the head and the block😅

    Hi, this may be a long shot. But I have a 2016 Kia Optima and everything works on my seat except the forward and back function. The recline works and I'm able to move the seat up and down. The up and down and forward/back uses the same switch. Ive also check under the seat and nothing is lodged under the seat. From your experience, what do you think the isdue may be?

    • @benwrenchin
      @benwrenchin 26 дней назад

      My guess is most likely the servo motor for the forward/back motion. Try what is in this video, and if you supply power directly to the motor and if the seat doesn't move, it's likely a bad motor.
