Had a customer show up, he said there was a loud bang and the truck stopped moving. He was doing 110kmh/~70mph when it happened. The tow truck put it on the hoist and the underside was a sheet of ice. It took 2 days before we could chip it off enough for an inspection. The transfer case and front diff were grenaded. It had less than 15k on it. Warranty paid for it after they saw the pictures of the ice load under the vehicle.
@@chrishansen5784 Ford didn't think so. It was a very weird spring, wet but still freezing. He had travelled a long distance and the build up was a 'normal' phenomenon.
@n325aej I've seen some engines WAY worse than this and run for 10's of thousands of miles. It's obviously not ideal but some engines just have more blow by
Diesel engines with a vacuum pump in the cylinder head/engine block, the air that is absorbed to create depression, goes inside the cylinder head, when the cap is opened, that is why it releases air. It is not like gasoline engines, diesel engines work without pressure in the intake, unlike gasoline engines that generate vacuum through the intake (in fact, modern gasoline engines already have a vacuum pump just like diesel engines and do the same, they throw air through the oil cap).
True, and hopefully he learned from that mistake, but opening the plug with a combination wrench does make sense because it’s easy to wipe clean after getting oil on it.
@@kennethjackson7574 i just bought a set of specific long handle 12 point close ended wrenches after a bit of experience you just know what size to grab.
@@tinytim6921 Starter wrenches seem a good idea because you can keep your hands out of the way of the coming stream of oil, but I’m sure the range of sizes is limited.
@@kennethjackson7574 i can see where your coming from but 90% of the time i only ever use the wrench or socket to crack the drain bolt. I take it out with my hand, almost never get oil on myself thats more of a filter problem haha
what do these people DO to their vehicles? I mean, aside neglect and bad maintenance... the last time I've seen a smashed gearbox it was when the differential died on a front wheel car while test-driving... we suspect someone has put in an improper oil in the distant past. and then you go and find an automatic gear for an early Audi 80 from mid-70's...
Jesus that citroen would piss me off XD. On a few years of Dodge dakota they did something similar. They put two large fuses and a relay in the back of the fusebox despite there being a spot for each in the accessible front. XD You have to reach all the way up from the floor to the top of the dash about going through all the wire looms and razor sharp metal. Thankfully that relay isn't one that gets used all the time... Its the blinker relay. XD
then you love the tiny, hidden boxes from earlier VWs too. set in the back of the extra glove box underneath thr wheel, and with those micro-flat fuses you can't see if they are shot or not unless you pull them... goodbye, radio settings. Ford Europe started to do two-layer fuse boxes, which you can't see unless you look into the manual where they describe how to get to layer two. :P
@@lotharrenz4621 What's also fun are old cars where there is no fuse box, just fuses where it seemed to make sense. For instance on my Studebaker the fuse the lights is mounted on the back of the headlight switch. (Which makes more sense than that Citroen! ) Of course a Studebaker has a MUCH simpler electrical system than anything made in the last 50 years!
@@lotharrenz4621 VW has done some spectacular horrors with fuse blocks and sub-blocks, putting them all over the place, impossible to get to. It's a good thing they aren't know for electrical problems...
@@stevebot ikr? I worked as a car mechanic here in germany for too many years...

@@JeffDeWitt at least there are fuses... european Fords from the 70's had those fuses on the underside of the headlight/high beam relay. without knowing you'll look for them forever...

Is that the customers fault for letting ice build up so heavily?

“Tow truck driver put the vehicle on the lift”
Um wtf did u just say?
@@fastinradfordable it was a drive on hoist. The driver backed the vehicle onto the hoist with the tow truck.
2:15 that blowby on a diesel I find is relatively common on some engines.

Thank you for the chapter titles above the red play status bar. The added context helps on some of these like that fuse box clip.
the lubetech at the end is green af had the drain bucket directly below the oil pan when he pulled the plug

2:55 if i remember correctly, that was a lotus exige.
3:05 was that some Nightwish i heard lol
1:16 it's pronounced "Sit-Trun"
The vents look more like they became gyroscopes but close enough.
Lmao last one is an SN95 mustang, I remember the underside a little too well
That oil filter on that lotus is priceless 🤣
“Bluetooth oil” 😂
1:47 My poor Jeeps alternator mount
0:35 Did you just say "PTU?..."
The guy that wanted to do his own oil change at home......that was on a Lotus (can't remember if it was an Elise or Esprit). Either way, such a shame.
Elise. Apparently, he refused to believe the mechanic who told him of the coolant mixing with the engine oil!
Lmao I saw it and laugh, gonna hurt the pocket 🤣
The guy who left the plastic on the filter you know he did a lot more wrong like there’s milkshake
Definitely coolant in there.
Excellent vid👍👍

Damn that’s not okay
3:27 yaknow there’s such thing as ratcheting wrenches
Lol I thought the same thing
Starting to see repeats.
10mm on the desk. 🤣
Somehow buying a used car seems just a bit off putting after seeing these videos.
It’s just broken a little bit.
Yes there are a lot of stupid people out there and have no business trying to fix there cars

or procreate...
I expect some of them know how to use commas and possessive pronouns.
