He's not back... he probably went and got a job in a shop that pays better and is more enjoyable because no good mechanic would work full time for donut.
It actually is a serious and real issue. It an electric motor driving an actuator. Something stripped out inside, reaches end and bang! Somebody tried to slam it shut by force probably.
As someone who lives in Alaska, oil pan heaters are very common. Its called winterization. Very necessary when the weather can get to -50°. Wait till you see our parking lots that have outlets at every space. A lot of tourists think alaskan vehicles are electric when they see em all plugged in 😂
Same here in MT, gets as cold if not colder speaking from experience (grew up in AK) and I feel bad for the car folks from less extreme climates not having a clue how to deal with it. Used to see alot of customers come into the parts store w a myriad of cold related questions and concerns and some needed ALOT of hand holding lol That's funny too, about the parking power outlets, I'd totally forgotten that Lil quirk😅
Ah, memories. Once when I was destitute and homeless, someone gave me a free Volvo if I could get it to start. Which was not the biggest problem, it was just the transmission interlock, I bypassed it and it started right up. The biggest problem was that it had been rear ended which destroyed all the lights. It also killed the headlights somehow, no idea why. I affixed trailer lights to the bumper, went to wire them in, and discovered that someone had snipped that entire part of the wiring harness off. No idea why. Anyway, I'm homeless, got $20 to my name, very limited tools, no multimeter. So, I wire them all to toggle switches that I mounted in a piece of cardboard and taped to the dash. Got fancy and had a three-way toggle with a blinker relay for turn signals. I had to screw a giant button to the brake pedal to get those lights working. Did this all in an Autozone parking lot, I might add. Lived in that thing for like 6 months and put 10,000 miles on it.
Probably cut the wiring to get the lights to stop or something similar. When a vehicles horn gets stuck on after an accident the fire dept will cut wires to get it to turn off. Hope your doing well my man.
Definitely the same people, the same production, and under the same umbrella. However it’s not the channel known as doughnut. That’s why my first comment starts with “yes and no”
6:55. I've actually seen that on cars in the northern states where it gets much colder. The plug hands out of the front grill. Owner takes an extension cord, plugs it into the plug from the grill. Heating pad warms up the oil pan and oil, while your eating breakfast, getting ready for work, or whatever. Makes the cold start a lot less harsh on the engine, and you don't have to wait as long for the vehicle to warm up and the oil to start flowing properly, as it helps the process. Still would need to let it heat up to operating temp so the metal parts can expand properly. But overall if setup properly I don't see any harm. As long as it doesn't touch moving parts. Short out anything else it may touch. It seems useful if that's a problem you deal with.
He did an amazing job, I follow that build and have since his 3rd video on it. One day I plan on building my magnum similar to his and learned a lot from him on it.
Crazy. I used to watch him long ago before he gained any popularity. Last I saw a video of his the charger magnum was just beginning or maybe even just an idea
In my aviation mechanic days, I was the primary focal for doing wiring/electrical jobs. 1. Nobody else had the patience/or enough understanding to go through a wiring diagram that sometimes stretched through 13 pages of 11x17in paper. 2. Nobody wanted to touch it, being afraid to short something out or get zapped. it was quite satisfying in the end, when you're updating an older small airplane with more modern avionics, and you end up with a ton of dead wires that you cleared out, left over from several previous avionics changes.
On the modern jets, the electrical system packs a wallop, but my bread and butter at that time was in General Aviation (Cessna 172s, Beech Duchess, as high as Cessna 414), so i worked with 12 to 24 volt systems. Though it would still tickle a bit if you touched the wrong wire by accident.
I really appreciate having someone truly knowledgeable to listen to. Sandro is up there too but Aaron is a true master of his craft. He’s the type of man I would want as a friend
Aaron always has me rolling when he starts rambling in his situation stories. He's the one homie that can start a full on conversation about something else and have you forgetting what you asked him about.
I don't work on cars, but that story about (not) disconnecting the battery is Hella relatable as someone who once forgot to remove the "remove before use" sticker from a CPU heatsink.
When I lived in Alaska we had to put heat pads for the oil, heat blankets for the battery , heat plugs for the block and radiator to keep it from freezing. We'd have to plug it in when we parked.
Yeah. I was in Edmonton, Alberta, and even that is just ridiculous. Batteries lose like half of their power, the oil is practically grease. Even when you get the vehicle running, your brakes might be frozen, and your shocks will be rock hard too. Learned a lot from living there for a few years, glad I am not dealing with that shit any more.
It’s like that everywhere in Canada . Some car like Jetta mk6 tdi have something similar from the factory. I think it’s hard to find it in the USA but it’s standard for those model in Canada. But I will say that they become more rare on with newer car . With old diesel truck in some place that you couldn’t plug the truck you had to lights up a toilet paper roll full gas under the oil pan if you whanted to start it in a cold morning 😂
My dad was a mechanic when he was young, and he said one time, when he was doing work on a car, he had someone helping him who put a wrench on the battery. Thing was right across the posts. He said by the time he noticed it, the wrench was turning orange. Bloody terrifying. Battery almost blew up.
12:40 As an Australian that looks like an (80s) E series Ford Falcon. Just a guess, but the steering wheel n dash look familiar. Could also just be a Brat. I'm more of a Holden guy though. Also was funny hearing "it's right hand rive man" at .25 speed.
6:00 That custom done heater is probably someone who lives in a northern environment where it gets below -20C/-4F. Many cars in Canada are bought with heater blocks installed from the factory so cars can be started when it gets really cold. That homemade one thought looks sketchy AF.
for the subaru outback, by guess would be that the motor lifts the tailgate but the one or both of the struts have failed causing the tailgate to fall due to the struts not supporting it
Loved watching Aaron go all out on Netflix's Hyperdrive competition in his sick RX7. Good to see him on Donut, what a great dude! If there is ever another Hyperdrive competition, I hope they have him back on it.
3:54 funny thing... those prop rod pistons are probably the issue, not the electrical. I have seen gmc, subies, yotas... all do the same thing. $20 pistons fixes it almost 100% of the time. Cool trick, and scarry as hell.
"Get yourself a cat." Bro I have a cat and left the garage open the other day. A tiny mouse got in the house and my cat was just chilling with the mouse. No attempt at catching it whatsoever.
Even if the cat doesn't actually hunt the mouse they leave pheromones around that mice tend to avoid. When they rub their face on stuff that's what they're doing.
A rodent ate into the wiring of my BMW years ago - that was a $700 fix. If rodents can do that sort of damage to a 12V system, imagine what sort of damage they would do to an EV with their high voltage systems. Probably would have more visible fried rats around the car, I suppose, but even partially chewed but still functioning high voltage cables will be a major safety problem. I wouldn't want to be in a car with a 700V system with shorts in it.
Yessss ... plz plz get Aaron back in the Donut videos ... miss his rad skillz on da builds and his dope rides ... peace and love all keep it rad stay safe safe build on l8z famz and keep having fun
The Subaru lift gate was more than likely the gas strut worn out. I had another vehicle that would do the same thing with an automatic lift gate. It’s designed to lift the gate then let the gas strut hold it in the upper position. I changed my struts and it worked fine.
First off the very first video is Junkyard Dave who took a Hellcat and put a Magnum hatch on it. He didn't do a front clip of a charger, he did it the hard way, magnum hatch on a charger. . He carbon fibered a roof, converted it to all wheel drive, 3D printed material and CAD designed parts he needed and painted the car and is working on a custom dash. He's not haphazard and currently has the car running. Know your source material and check out his build first.
Look up the build on YT It started as a charger, and is now a widebody AWD 1000hp hellcat wagon.. Junkyard Dave - Building What Dodge Wont | 2021 Charger Magnum Hellcat | 1000HP Hellwagon | Pt 1
Whenever I buy a car or motorbike I try to buy a workshop manual with a wiring diagram and my current bike did come with a wiring diagram with the owners manual which made it so easy for me to wire in a few things.
One of my worst wiring nightmares brought a car that had a turbo model engine put in a base model, to only realise there was 6 harnesses spliced together inlc two separate main fuse boxes - after spending way to much time to get things working, i worked out i could of brought the body/engine harness from the later model and would of only needed to change about 4 plugs to make it work correctly (obviously who of had to take interior out and body panels off but would of been so much quicker)
Literally just googled "what happened to Aaron from Donut" two days ago. This guy deserves to come back, he put up with way too much BS in hi lo to be left hanging low. Glad to see relations weren't broken, now bring him back cause I'm willing to be he can nurture the WRXs.
the ute is a xf ford falcon ute from aus the wiring is always munted here we add and remove stuff regularly try having spotlights and hitting a kangaroo then changing it all new every time we cut switch fuse and done
So, the magnum with a hellcat. That guy was in progress when you pulled up a clip. He could have had a very detailed home-drawn schematic he was using for that spaghetti mess he had. He mentioned he was preparing to loom it after he got everything routed. (not how I would do it, but if it worked for him, I can't fault it) Also, he mentioned that he "tacked in" a steering shaft, this is very common to do just to get something to your dino appointment. It isn't permanent, but He needed it to hold together just for one dino session and then, once returned home, he'd final weld it. I love seeing the usual butchery, but, in that case, I'd say hold judgement until you see the finished product. It may be MUCH nicer than you think since you were seeing it mid-process.
One thing I learned from working as a mechanic, Wurth has a great lubricant called HHS 5000, and what one of the senior mechanics said, mice absolutely detest it for some reason. So if you have a rodent problem, just spray it here and there to make them stay away
No matter what the reason of your departure from hi low, we're really glad to see you back Aaron. Hope to see you back on donut with their new project cars too. Edit: and see hi and low car again and see their difference since you go.
12:15 Get a cat. It works. I have no rodents in my place but you get the occasional cockroach. The other night I saw one land on the wall and it kept flying around. The cat was on it. He saw, he came, he conquered. Basically he waited until it got low enough then swatted it. It then tried to run away. He then swatted it again. After a few hits, he picked it up and held it for a while then dropped it . Rinse and repeat a few times and the roach ended up dead laying on its back (still intact). He's learned not to eat them. It took him less than a minute to kill that thing. 12:51 That's scary. I like extra gadgets but with mine, there is an aux deep cycle in the back with a voltage sensitive relay. This has a fused direct connection to the primary battery. I then run over 10 extra circuits (each fused via an addition distribution board). In my setup, I tend to be drawing at least 3 Amps continuously (dash cams / GPS tracker, USB chargers,etc ) up to about 25 Amps (LED spotlights, better cabin light, etc ) all of the auxiliary battery so my primary cranking battery doesn't go flat.
“What do we do?” There’s a fire where there’s not supposed to be a fire, what do you think you should do? Maybe instead of immediately breaking out the cellphone cam you should break out a fire extinguisher.
I love these guys man. Nolan, Aaron, Angelina and Sandro, they've built a good team up here. About the cars... yeah, electronics are very tricky, we got a car at home, doesn't start and we've looked and looked for the problem, spark plugs, fuses, battery, distributor, ECU, car still didn't run, only cranks.
7:40....pretty normal for canada...block heater pre-heats the coolant...oil pan pre-heater heats the oil...third one is either for a battery heater or an interior heater
I've seen that guy's RUclips channel with the blue car that actually started Life as regular four-door charger but he ended up turning it into a wagon and putting the hellcat with a four-wheel drive system in it even built his own front add rear subframes for the car
Aaron!! Great to see you back with Donut again mate!... I really hope this means they've finished filming season 2 of Overdrive. Although I know nobody will be allowed to talk about it. But good God I still want more of that show.
Back in the 1990s, I self-installed a Crutchfield car alarm out of yearning to protect and safeguard my '91 Geo Prizm with a sweet (based on my revenue stream at the time) Alpine CD / tape adapter deck. I got more than a few notes from my neighbors because I had unwisely decided not to install the ground wire on some static piece of the car's chassis, but rather took this stranded wire and stuck it under my driver's side seat. Just why ignore electrical, brothas.
No way Aaron is back!!! Let’s get him on hi low fr!!
I really hope they do bring him back
I could see him helping with the ranger vids
Aaron wtf happen to RUclips channel
Bro is quoting 150-250 hours on customer's projects think he's doing good for himself
He's not back... he probably went and got a job in a shop that pays better and is more enjoyable because no good mechanic would work full time for donut.
I feel like Aaron would be a good mentor to work for. He's got that "we don't cut corners; cut corners cost lives" mentality and I dig it.
He seemed like the stable "don't worry, it's gonna work out" presence on Hi/Lo too, and that's so helpful to have in the garage
To be fair, he has clearly had a few close calls... He seems like the type that would clearly say "don't be like me."
"Hey Subaru, open the tailgate." "I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave."
12v open 24v close.😬
It actually is a serious and real issue. It an electric motor driving an actuator. Something stripped out inside, reaches end and bang!
Somebody tried to slam it shut by force probably.
Lesbian trap if I've ever seen one.
I had the same issue on my forester, just a blown gas strut

Bring Aaron back for hi-low and more real mechanics stuff. He's a top bloke, and he knows what he's talking about, and he's entertaining to watch

Same as Canadian Winters. Block heaters are pretty much standard
I'm a little surprised they aren't even a little familiar with the concept, and assume it must be a race car.
Same here in MT, gets as cold if not colder speaking from experience (grew up in AK) and I feel bad for the car folks from less extreme climates not having a clue how to deal with it. Used to see alot of customers come into the parts store w a myriad of cold related questions and concerns and some needed ALOT of hand holding lol
That's funny too, about the parking power outlets, I'd totally forgotten that Lil quirk😅
I'd say that's a pretty standard with every northern place in the world. Like how stud tires are a must in the most northern parts of the Norwegian.
we used to call them dipstick heaters when I lived in Vermont in the late 70's early 80's
AARON IS BACK!!! Legit one of my favorite guys from donut. Legit real ass dude he carried low Z and legit this guy knows his stuff man!!

Probably cut the wiring to get the lights to stop or something similar. When a vehicles horn gets stuck on after an accident the fire dept will cut wires to get it to turn off. Hope your doing well my man.

Aaron has a great personality and down to earth way of explaining the black magic of automobile electrical systems.

first clip - Junkyard Dave, he nailed it, his Charger Magnum Hellcat runs and runs good! No shortcuts, no fire, no issues at all
He did an amazing job, I follow that build and have since his 3rd video on it. One day I plan on building my magnum similar to his and learned a lot from him on it.
that dude is no joke and his wiring on that car turned out amazing
Crazy. I used to watch him long ago before he gained any popularity. Last I saw a video of his the charger magnum was just beginning or maybe even just an idea
0:43 junkyard dave ftw!
Did he ever get a windshield and wash all the dust off the Magnum?
Dude, I'm a diesel pickup tech in a rural area, and we see those rat chewed wires ALL the time. Lotta fun tracing those things...
In my aviation mechanic days, I was the primary focal for doing wiring/electrical jobs.
1. Nobody else had the patience/or enough understanding to go through a wiring diagram that sometimes stretched through 13 pages of 11x17in paper.
2. Nobody wanted to touch it, being afraid to short something out or get zapped.
it was quite satisfying in the end, when you're updating an older small airplane with more modern avionics, and you end up with a ton of dead wires that you cleared out, left over from several previous avionics changes.
It's all 400hz Ac stuff correct? I don't mind digging real deep into auto/ equipment DC stuff, no urge to play with AC in a "vehicle".
On the modern jets, the electrical system packs a wallop, but my bread and butter at that time was in General Aviation (Cessna 172s, Beech Duchess, as high as Cessna 414), so i worked with 12 to 24 volt systems. Though it would still tickle a bit if you touched the wrong wire by accident.
When i was in A&P school i hated electrical. Didn't understand it, and still don't. Graduated but never went for my license because of it.
ripping out old/unused wires is pretty satisfying. If you can do a whole loom at once? oooh baby.
I've seen some shit. I work aviation adjacent and holy fuck.
I really appreciate having someone truly knowledgeable to listen to. Sandro is up there too but Aaron is a true master of his craft. He’s the type of man I would want as a friend

6:52 A block, pan and battery heaters are required in really cold places like AK or ND
1:29 thats what happens when you dont have enough blinker fluid, it overheats
As a bmw owner can confirm thats why we dont use it. blinker fluid is expensive.
I was going to say that I was not aware blinker fluid was flammable. But I like your comment better.
Blinker fluid isn’t a thing kid
@@boofingenthusiastWe know. We all know. But it doesn't stop us from joking about it.

for the subaru outback, by guess would be that the motor lifts the tailgate but the one or both of the struts have failed causing the tailgate to fall due to the struts not supporting it
Awesome to see Aaron back on Donut. I know he's a super busy dude, but he's so chill and informative and makes a great presenter.
Saw 1 second of video and immediately knew what's happening. Aaron is amazing.
so happy to see Aaron again!! hope he continues to pop back in, or maybe even join in on the next hi/low

13:00 that a ford xf Ute and people have been tapping into the wiring system since they was only 5 years old 😂
Yeahya good spotting must be a kiwi or Aussie
I was looking to see if anyone else spotted the Falcon. Tapping into the fuse box isn't an issue. It's how he did it
16:28 this right here is the real reason why Aaron left… that look he gives Nolan says it all.

No matter what the reason of your departure from hi low, we're really glad to see you back Aaron. Hope to see you back on donut with their new project cars too.
Edit: and see hi and low car again and see their difference since you go.
AWESOME to see Aaron again, LOVE THY DONUT.
Watching SoCal boys amazed by a pan and block heater is hilarious. Come up north and try to start your car or truck in -30 °F!!!
Oil heaters are very useful in northern winters
he bought a 3 pack on amazon. and is heating the trans fluid and either diesel or coolant also.
12:15 Get a cat. It works. I have no rodents in my place but you get the occasional cockroach. The other night I saw one land on the wall and it kept flying around. The cat was on it. He saw, he came, he conquered. Basically he waited until it got low enough then swatted it. It then tried to run away. He then swatted it again. After a few hits, he picked it up and held it for a while then dropped it . Rinse and repeat a few times and the roach ended up dead laying on its back (still intact). He's learned not to eat them. It took him less than a minute to kill that thing.
12:51 That's scary. I like extra gadgets but with mine, there is an aux deep cycle in the back with a voltage sensitive relay. This has a fused direct connection to the primary battery. I then run over 10 extra circuits (each fused via an addition distribution board). In my setup, I tend to be drawing at least 3 Amps continuously (dash cams / GPS tracker, USB chargers,etc ) up to about 25 Amps (LED spotlights, better cabin light, etc ) all of the auxiliary battery so my primary cranking battery doesn't go flat.
Dog it’s been years and now your going to sneak Aaron in and not address it
Dude with the battery sparking after putting it in just needed to buy terminal adapters and use the top post 🤣🤣🤣. Smh
Great video guys much love from Africa specifically Kenya 🤗
Junkyard Dave! I've been following that build for a LONG time. Don't let those clips fool you. He is doing it right!
Nice to see Aaron’s back. Glad there’s no bad blood
Why would there be?
“What do we do?” There’s a fire where there’s not supposed to be a fire, what do you think you should do? Maybe instead of immediately breaking out the cellphone cam you should break out a fire extinguisher.
Please keep Aaron, Sandro and Angelina as permanent hosts on Real Mechanic Stuff !!
Not sure Aaron is on Sandro and Angelina's level.
Dude is smart and knows his stuff. He even said oil "Galley" instead of "Gallery". I'd like to see more videos with him.
As an auto-electrician myself, I tip my hat to the man the legend Aaron
Aaron absolutely rocks, @Realmechanicstuff - Aaron and Angela when?
Great to see Aaron back 👍🏻
That second one was burning like crazy because it was so windy
AARON! damn great seeing you back with the donut fam
That Subaru is hungry! It's the Venus fly trap of cars!
Heck yeah! Aaron!!! Good to see him back.
I love these guys man. Nolan, Aaron, Angelina and Sandro, they've built a good team up here. About the cars... yeah, electronics are very tricky, we got a car at home, doesn't start and we've looked and looked for the problem, spark plugs, fuses, battery, distributor, ECU, car still didn't run, only cranks.
Awesome to see Aaron back!
7:40....pretty normal for canada...block heater pre-heats the coolant...oil pan pre-heater heats the oil...third one is either for a battery heater or an interior heater
pre-heat the coolant?
Major props for the NiN shoutout 🤟🏻🤟🏻
I had to rewire the whole dash of my 1991 Passat, that the Previous owner fried trying to install a aftermarket stereo
maaan i didn't know how much i missed Aaron
Aaron is the coolest dude on the planet. Love vids with him, loved him in hyperdrive, would watch his stuff all day
Was looking for this comment! I was excited to see him on Hyperdrive and love that his on a dount video again.
PLEASE MORE AARON!!!
Great to see Aaron again. It's been years.
No Sandro but I'll still watch this 😂
In cold states we have engine block heaters and they plug into an ac plug. It looks like he made his own.
Entire server room in a smaller more difficult place
7:24 Props to the editor, that's some nice screen work. Most people will never notice it. Nolans arm even goes over Aaron's arm seamlessly.
31 seconds ago is crazy
I've seen that guy's RUclips channel with the blue car that actually started Life as regular four-door charger but he ended up turning it into a wagon and putting the hellcat with a four-wheel drive system in it even built his own front add rear subframes for the car
How tf did they manage to get Lewis Hamilton on the show
I miss Aaron! He was fun to watch in the first hi-low
AARRROOOOOOOONNN!!!! DUDEEE WE MISS YOU! Glad to see you back! hope to see you more involved with the donut team!
Aaron!! Great to see you back with Donut again mate!... I really hope this means they've finished filming season 2 of Overdrive. Although I know nobody will be allowed to talk about it. But good God I still want more of that show.
Back in the 1990s, I self-installed a Crutchfield car alarm out of yearning to protect and safeguard my '91 Geo Prizm with a sweet (based on my revenue stream at the time) Alpine CD / tape adapter deck.
I got more than a few notes from my neighbors because I had unwisely decided not to install the ground wire on some static piece of the car's chassis, but rather took this stranded wire and stuck it under my driver's side seat.
Just why ignore electrical, brothas.
02:12 Whatever, dude. 😁
Much love from CFL too.
As soon as I saw that pink license plate frame I was like, "Ahhh. Another AutoNation special." LOL!
Missed Aaron - good to see you ;)
AARON! Glad to see theres no bad blood between them after High/Low
Aaron is back!!!! if only for right now
The amount of people who have never seen a block heater is astounding to me.
