You remind me so much of my own mechanic. Been around a long time. Knows all the tricks. Never runs up the price. Can jury rig stuff when safe to do so. Great channel.
I really like that you take the time to explain the thinking behind what you are doing in your videos, i find it helpful!
In such cases, when I need to restore a plastic part that is rarely subjected to load, I use a soldering iron set to a low temperature so that it does not burn the plastic and solder the fallen part, it usually works great.
You are a creative genius brother! You do as well and maybe even better than the automotive engineers. Great job, nice video. Keep wrenching!
Your biggest problem is purchasing Chryslers vehicles as you have said previously their build quality is questionable to say the least.Your repair will most likely outlast the vehicle.Cheers mate.🤣
19 year-old truck.
Gotta be honest. This is the 1st time I've EVER seen this failure. Usually it's the lever itself. Good show sir. My wife is the zip tie queen, and would be very proud of this repair 😅😅😅
I am very proud to see this and I love my zip ties... have rarely failed me so far
@@alyssawray3262 STALKER 🤣🤣
Marine Corps mechanics aren’t allowed to say Phillips, we say cross tips. Anyway, love your vids, your years of knowledge do not go unnoticed!
Nice little MacGyver, hose clamp is a good idea too. Another zip tie going the other way (like an X) could make it stronger. At least you know what it is. Changing the plastic piece would be a pain, so you done good.
Just got notified that the KingBolen scanner is on Black Friday sale! 😁
Years ago my boss work van drivers side wiper arm was stripped on the splines, both on the arm itself and the splined pin , so it wasn’t moving at all, anyway it was raining hard and we had a carpet job to get to, so I cut a square of thick cardboard from a box and wrapped it around the pin, then put the blade back on tapping it with a hammer because I purposefully made it that way for friction, once it was all the way on I tightened the bolt and it worked perfectly, it’s still working to this day
A long time ago I used a plastic bread bag clip to fix the auto transmission linkage on a very old Ford.
Yup, Philips. I have installed my own yrailer brake controller.
I had an issue similar some years back, what i did was drilled 2 tiny holes into both pieces of plastic and epoxied 2 small pins in place. held for the life of the car
Cheap fix. Good enough👍
Great fix for some of the manufacturers shortcomings
Looking at this and thinking .... Just take a piece of wire and fasten it around the end of the cable at the black piece and then cut a small groove in the broken white piece and run it thru the groove and put a fastener of some type on the end to hold it in place like they do on the main cable at on the black piece. Does that make sense? You can even put a small flat piece of flat metal between the added cable and the black piece to keep the added cable piece from digging into the white piece - with some lube on it.
that is a permanent fix if u ask me especially if its my car. love ur videos keep it up!!
Well done. F.y.i. temperatures can not be 'cool' or 'hot', temperatures are 'high' or 'low'...
I've had Excellent results with GOOP adhesive Epoxy
Great fix, probably more durable than stock, brand-new or 200,000+ miles later. 👍🏼
Plastics don't last long but that is a long time before breaking. What happened to the cheap metals of the '70s and '80s. Those type of screws are the same on '90s Rams. Great fix Macgyver!
JB. Weld plastic bonder works great I fixed a broken plastic door handle on my Toyota matrix bonds in minutes but very bad if you get it on your hands, I had gloves on but it still irritated my fingers.
Good fix, that's actually how a Dodge is put together.😂😂😂
I think it was self-adjusting in the first ten years, some sort of clutch action, maybe in case of a collision where the driver hits the stearing column.
I would have done the same repair Kenny! 2 genius minds think alike! LOL.
I've seen a similar 'temporary' repair for the telescope function where someone used a couple of tiny self tapper screws to trap the clip once they got it where they wanted it. It was an old junker of a car so if it works!
I'm a mechanic, I think it's funny how people say buy a mechanics car ,it's well maintained 😂
My vehicle runs great ,and dependable, some of my repairs to get it back going to work might be questionable, but it works
Now you definitely would want to buy my wife's car ,not mine 😂😂😂😢
In my case that broken part was already gone so no way to glue it back, thickness on bottom white plastic is enough to drill a little hole and secure iit firmly with a tiny screew, 2 years later still holding, almost bet your fix is permanent since you did have all the assembly parts to glue it back.
It's a shame you couldn't actually blame another shop but the next time someone works on that you are another shop that actually did the hack work.
Genius! Big fan of zip ties....
Simple fix. Tilt works now and that was your objective. Better than spending 2 or 3 hours disassembling the steering column to replace a part that may fail again in a month......When you replace subpar parts with subpar parts you get subpar performance. The repair you made will probably last longer than the OEM did.
I don’t think I would have glued it, it might be something you may need to take apart fix something else. You will definitely need to break it if you have to remove it now! Hope that event never is needed in any case.
make sure you had your power steering fluid full after all theses fix it guys know theyre talking about
Analytics 👍
Its odd when i got my truck i set the wheel where i like it and have never moved it. i see some people who move when they get out and then move once driving again before tilt wheels were popular everyone drove without problems. just think before tilting seats we could see people driving didn't have drivers who were laying down driving and have to sit up at traffic lights to see never understood that
Kenny the same thing happened to my 2005 Durango.......
That's not just a band aid. It's even better than stock. You turned two pieces, actually three pieces, into one like it should have been in the first place. I would rather have it fixed this way than to spend the time and money to replace those parts that will surely break again.
LMFAO.. yup checked the fluids..
I think the white part is only sold on the column. Factory is discontinued.
My power steering fluid is tilt compatible, but if it is electric power steering you have to check the voltage.
I have till wheel and never move it . Every time someone else drive it, they move it all the up to get out it dont need to move, so i took off the little handle
Are you familiar with baking soda an super glue? May comsider that.
Yeah, if it was mine, I would have done it the same way
If it works and last then it's fixed
Old school mechanics fix things kids throw the parts cannon at it
Check the batterys. Lol.
Screw tight hose clamp.
Just another example of so many plastic parts
Blinker fluid is low 😅
This is a terrible design. Mine broke in exactly the same way that yours did and I fixed it with zip ties a little over a year ago. The white plastic part broke a second time about a month ago. This time it split all the way through at the end of the toothed section. Typical Chrysler. An otherwise solid design ruined by cheap materials. Chrysler also expects you to replace the entire column for a permanent repair.
For the amount that wheel tilted didn't seem worth the effort!
If you don't keep up with the details, pretty soon you'll find yourself riding in a real toilet!
Good evening Mr Kenny hope y'all have a great night
Crappy design.
