Dirt Daily. Frustration with Little Plastic Parts
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 окт 2024
- Vehicles these days use lots of little plastic parts and they dont always survive removal for reuse. Today I’m hunting little fuel line clips. Spoiler: I eventually found all the parts I needed, but I miss good old steel parts.
So the day after I watched this clip, I was running wire under my Gladiator and the back of my gloved hand brushed one of these clips and brittle as they are, it broke with no force. Thankfully I didn’t have to google the part as you already provided it. Thanks Fred! These Newbsock videos are a great asset.
One line is fuel to the engine and the other is EVAP purge.
If you ever relocate the fuel tank(like a tj behind the axle) you can get factory style push lock to AN fittings and run metal hardline down the frame without much trouble
Ah yes, plastic parts...love the plastic parts. Like the oil cooler on the 3.6 Pentastar, excellent use of plastic parts. *Obvious sarcasm*
I save all of the odd factory connectors and hardware when I install aftermarket parts. Those items are often used for several makes and models, and can be useful several years down the road.
i like the clips on the toyotas, they are captive and i have never braked one
Friend of mine left a safety clip off on his 6.o ls twin turbo truck. Gas line came un clipped. Big fire and bad burns. Please don't run it without it Fred. Sometimes I think it would be better to replumb with compression or flare fittings or AN .
The white, black, and blue clips and not supposed to be removed. You’re supposed to push those in and pull the lines apart.
Came here to say the same thing. I also learned this lesson the hard way.
😮
@@thebloodyserb same felt like such a idiot when I finally figured that out
That's a good tip. Those clips are a pain. I had a similar problem with my XJ, with the transmission line plastic clip. I spent a day and a half running around to part stores and finally got lucky and found a dealership that had one lol
I've had good luck using zip ties in a pinch in lieu of that type of clip in the past.
Thanks for the tip just starting my jeeps fuel system
For the missing safety clip, just put a piece of shrink tubing large enough to go over the white clip. When shrunk, it will keep the clip in place.
Dorman can save you on many of those gotcha parts. Also check out the Dorman fuel line tool 800-301, with it you can make your own lines.
Same type of clips on the evac system. Check the old engines. Might find one.
So the white part of the clip is meant to be pushed in the center and it spreads apart the outer part and allows the line to be removed, not supposed to remove it.
SO give us the skinny - what are all the part numbers you used Fred, where did you get the red back up clips
The half inch must be new……needed one of those for my Hellcat a while back……
Did you try doorman 800-042 clips they looks similar to the broken pieces you got
I bought a kit on Amazon that had an assortment of those clips. Was something like $15.
Zip ties work great to replace those clips
Plastic doesn’t get better with age.
Plus one on the WD40. Works really well on those splash pan/ fender liner pop up clips too.
Keep ‘em comin man . Nice videos
It's brutal how difficult this new stuff is to work on and get parts for I did the brake line on my 08 FMF ford expedition only had half the brake line lol and the heater hose that cost 150 bucks wth to that. Sad but true
Two videos in one day? Do you think this is Tuesday? Do you need a calendar?
Zip ties can work in place of those clips!
Stupid plastic connectors get me every time. I've had more cuts working on a car trying to undue plastic clips than anything else..lol
Great video
Call Frieburger. He will show you how to zip tie it!
Im surprised the local dealer even took the time to talk about such smalll parts, My local Ford dealer, biggest in Iowa didnt even look when I needed carb linkage for an old Fairlane, just said " Nope discontinued, " with out even looking AKA.not worth my time
This kind of stuff is the primary reason I started messing with 3D printers. They work wonders for little plastic pieces like that.
Find a good quality zip tie and use it as your safety clip
Mmmmmm I still think you should call it’s the sport sock 🧦 imo what do I know 🌮💡😎
Planned obsolescence. Welcome to modernity.........
Use a zip-tie, it'll be fine. It's only fuel, what's the worst thing that can happen 🔥
Another good video
Why not use some safety wire ?
Please adjust your Micrphone .. I have to turn my volume way up to hear you and i dont have that trouble with other channels its aggravating but that said. i really like your show and have watched you for years on motortrend even before Dave was with you,i had to cancel my membership to motortrend after 5 years and even before Discovery came in and changed websites they ruined everything just like everyone thought.so glad you have decided to up your youtubing..yes im a fan...
Is it possible cut the line and the flare the ends and make your own connection with something a bit hardier?
I just have a gut feel that plastic and trail driving tends to not end well.
Napa NOE 7306755, NOE 7306753 or NOE 7306754 maybe? Cant make out what the red safety clips look like in the video. Or watch to the end of the video to see you have them before commenting lol
Plastic sucks... That's why old tech lasts longer....
_Safety Third!_
Yay
What a pain! 👍👍🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🤘🏻🤘🏻
I had fun with that scammer for almost a week before asking him to send a picture of him holding a picture of me to confirm his identity. Surprise, no more contact and the chat log was erased!
Zip ties!
What a pain. Wonder if you can just cut all that junk out and use a hose and hose clamps
Can you just put a hose clamp over the clip. Or a zip tie?
i bet someone could 3d print those pretty easily. could be a good business idea
I hate all those plastic clips. It seems like I break one everything I touch them. WD40 is worth a shot. Thanks!
Maybe they somebody could start making these clips out of aluminum?
Sounds like an electric tape fix for the temporary fix...
Ducktape 😁
Plastic clips are gross
This format is way too short, not enough content at a time to justify taking the time to watch it. I'd rather see 20-30 minutes a couple times a week.
If you have a few days to allow for shipping Napa has NOE 7306755 , NOE 7306754. and NOE 7306753, you may want to see if that is the right part.
