      @DUMPSTERDIVINGADELAIDE yes just got done watching your mall walk video
      I don’t usually comment on most other peoples videos maybe I should …
      I guess it helps with the algorithm…… lemme just say this…..the heat is way better than the extreme cold 🥶 weather we can get
      Nobody throws away anything when it gets below 15°F
      We had a couple weeks stretch
      In January where the temperature is got down to 17° below zero Fahrenheit with very high winds very cold Arctic weather coming down from western Canada into our area
      Alberta clipper as it’s known
      🥶 at night you can hear the house that I’m living in walls popping etc The house actually
      Contracting slightly in size not by any measurable amount but enough where are you can hear it along with the cheap plastic siding that many American homes are made out of🤣😝
      Gotta keep the water trickling
      At the faucet otherwise the pipes will freeze and burst
      104°F which you were having is a little warm we get those sometimes in August usually doesn’t get that hot maybe in the 90s Fahrenheit although spring time is tornado season
      Whenever the weather warms up it’s a bit chilly here so if people are not throwing away stuff as much as they might wanna gets nicer out
      I didn’t think it got that warm in Adelaide though
      Nice shopping district
      I know most people on RUclips don’t like to talk about politics but maybe your politicians are not as goofy as some of ours and allowing criminals back out on the streets over and over again where were they form gangs and they routinely smashup stores and shops stealing tens of thousands of dollars in merchandise
      In Chicago even to this day right now about 40% of the stores in the downtown area are permanently closed
      Because of extreme theft & stabbings and shootings stabbings are on the rise in Chicago area shootings are down a little bit our president Joey & his policies help drive the lawlessness by being too soft on violence & criminal activity
      We have peaceful malls here too but Best plan is to avoid anything in the urban area
      The mall two blocks away from my house has been dying for a decade at least especially with Amazon people avoiding the mall and going online shopping

      @DUMPSTERDIVINGADELAIDE well I’m certainly aware of the vast outback is basically nearly uninhabitable because it’s so hot and dry except for a few little towns scattered about
      It’s a lot of huge cattle ranches
      & mineral mining
      My cousin currently resides in the Gold Coast area very warm area they spend a lot of time on the boat 55 foot cabin cruiser
      & entertain guests and family members on that good way to stay cool especially in the super hot humid weather
      Boat stays safely in the marina during the violent weather period had to Evacuate their neighborhood actually about 10 years ago
      Cyclone Oswald made it look like Florida with the damage
      Surprisingly the boat was undamaged no everybody was lucky that way

      I would say you’re probably right this part broke at a relatively low mileage at the time the truck wasn’t even owned for just under two years
      So far the replacement is holding up very well

      @RJL1983 well it’s too late to tell you this now but always remember you’re dealing with aluminum… Go easy on not over torquing bolts …. I think you’re in the clear. If it’s not leaking you’re probably good for another hundred thousand miles because the replacement is so much better than the original

      It’s best to not remove the intake manifold
      That just creates more headaches
      As plastic ages it becomes more and more brittle
      Best plan is to work very gently

    I got the same thermostat for $65 at rock auto

    • @steelisthemeal
      @steelisthemeal  4 месяца назад

      Rock has much better prices than auto parts stores
      Although…… The auto parts store has it right away order anything online ya have to wait
      That’s the only drawback and if you need the car right now
      ……The auto parts store is the answer otherwise if you can afford to wait you are correct you can save money using rock auto $$$

      @steelisthemeal  4 месяца назад

      Yeah almost always the case
      When ya need a new part
      The auto parts stores are going to charge you a premium
      Those prices you just quoted there are double the cost of rock auto …. sometimes lol you pay for the convenience of needing the car repaired right away…. Uber and Lyft are very expensive if you have to travel any kind of distance
      Yeah if the car can sit around for a day or two….. maybe even three days..while I wait for the rock auto delivery 🚚 take advantage of the deal
      Need the car in an hour right now …. you’re stuck dealing with the auto parts stores
      💯 % of the time and pay more!!!

      Usually way more $139 for a thermostat $18 or something like that for dex-kill coolant
      $1300 for dealership repair @ hawk Chevy in Oaklawn Illinois
      Independent shops very in price from $495 to as high as $800 + lol
      Just for a thermostat replacement & running a diagnostic test

    • @ScrapFarm
      @ScrapFarm 9 месяцев назад +1

      Yeah, well, it shouldn't need that part. In the first place. I'm driving 30 year old vehicles and they have the factory. Japanese made thermostat still in there. ... I'll stay with my 30 year old pieces of c*** that are paid off instead of getting stuck with a brand new piece of c*** that isn't gonna last 5 years.... Yeah, I know there's none of those trucks in your area. They rotted in half, they rotted in half. Here too, and I'm just stubborn and glued them back together....

    • @steelisthemeal
      @steelisthemeal  9 месяцев назад

      @ScrapFarm those Japanese trucks that you have do exist in my area but people keep them in the garage and typically they are in mint condition
      Cause all the rest have go onto the scrap yard many many years ago should get @ least 15 years outta this truck
      & yeah apart cost about $139 with tax $125 and some change and then add on the tax and you have $139 part

      @ScrapFarm yup that’s why all my scrapping trucks are very old 20 years old & older all clapped out but runnin
      This is a 2022 Chevy Colorado which is just out of warranty
      And five more years of car payments left to go 🥹💰
      $40k bought @ the hight of the plandemic & chip …car shortage …. this was literally the only $40,000 vehicle left on the lot and only one of five new vehicles being sold in January 2022 …… The good old days with a dealership premium price added on
      My kid drives 40 miles each way into the Chicago area and ya gotta show up to work with driving something new and reliable…… or you end up losing your job…..
      I have no advice for somebody that can’t repair their own vehicle& maintain it
      My son in law Can’t even change his own flat tire on his 2018 Toyota Corolla
      Had to call a tow truck emergency roadside service
      Two weeks ago
      Most millennials don’t know or just don’t wanna work on things @ home repair’s cutting grass doing home maintenance Auto Repair etc.
      Have everything delivered by Amazon Sharppe on the computer having food delivered by DoorDash or groceries bye any number of food delivery apps
      Millennials…… own nothing and be happy it’s all about having life experiences🤣 hanging out with friends all weekend & going out drinking and dining
      Even when they are on lower economic level no money saved
      It’s all about living in the moment there is no such thing as a past and there is no future
      Only now in real time exists
      How old are you 41…42?
      You are a millennial how come you don’t understand this mindset?

      @ScrapFarm how many people do you know that are actually going to own a shop lift for a vehicle and have a welder and some knowledge of how to use something like that
      And actually get the thing repaired
      My answer is very few if anyone
      I don’t see any other ppl doing this in the area I’m from
      Or I definitely would show that on a random video that I’m making taking it up as a point of interest
      lol
      Ppl just would rather have a car payment
