Harbor Freight Tire Changer With Upgrades. Can It Handle LT Truck Tires? Let's FInd Out!

I've been a big fan of the HF tire changer for years now, but I picked up this Upgrade Kit, and WOW, it's a game changer. Now it's much quicker to slap a set of tires on a car or in this case a large truck. Very Much worth the $ I spent for the upgrade kit. You can get one here: amzn.to/3W1lm32

    Thank you man for this great video! I'm not an electrician at all but like to learn! I have an old Bedford (Isuzu) Midi van from 1995. It not only drains the battery over a couple of days, but there seems to be another problem as well: it starts mostly just fine over night, but every time after a short stop (i.e. at a petrol station), it won't start anymore, the battery seems to be empty! Alternator seems to work, voltage on the battery doesn't get under 12.5 volt, but the starting engine won't go round..! Do you have any clue what could be the issue here? :)

    Thanks for making this video. The bidirectional, coding and advanced features don’t work for manufactures who have implemented the security gateway when the tool is out of subscription. You can’t even clear the check engine light on cars wit security gateway!. Chrysler, Nissan, Ram, Alfa, VW/Audi and Mercedes. The list is growing. The scan tool must have a current subscription and a subscription from AutoAuth, along with internet access or the tool will not give access to bidirectional or advanced features. Everything else he said is correct. Topology. 😊

    MMO is the only injector cleaner I’ve used that actually has a noticeable difference. When I worked at an auto zone, the Lucas fuel treatment and Seafoam flew off the shelves but never seemed to make a difference. It normally takes a day or two and by then I’ve forgotten I’ve used it but I’ll notice better performance. I just had a bad misfire in my 08 Kia optima from a bad spark plug, and a camshaft position sensor. With those replaced, it was mostly fixed but still had some hesitation and the V6 just didn’t get up to speed like it used to. Just this morning, I put some MMO in the gas and within maybe 3 miles, the knocking/hesitation had completely stopped and this old V6 with 230k im it gets up to speed like it always did. MMO just works.

And when I slowed down it feels like the car is down shifting. It’s very noticeable.

    With the modern power of smart phones, and they're larger and more high tech screens, along with bluetooth communication, I just don't understand why these manufacturers still insist on jamming some outdated Android-based mobile phone type platform into a separate plastic case and using that as the platform, instead of a mobile phone, which is far more capable. Like the Bluedriver OBD II scanner, it could just be a physical dongle into the port, and the rest is purely software running on a mobile phone, with easily software updated that can be continually updated for newer cars and features over the years. Any bulky physical scanner with a built-in computer like this will be almost immediately outdated as soon as it is released. So it it all just one big scam & racket for these manufacturers to collude and force people into paying their hyper-inflated prices for what should just be some mobile phone software and a Bluetooth connector? For the DIY person, it is infuriating to have to pay many hundreds or thousands of dollars just to get a tool to use occasionally for self-diagnostic and repair. But also one that is capable of running ABS brake bleed tests, resetting SRS airbag controllers and bi-directional communications with a car's various modules. Really feels like a scam.

      @@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs As far as a code read/reset tools go, the Bluedriver is probably the best value for the DIY'ers money. But it doesn't do the extra stuff that is really needed in some situations. My point is, all those very expensive and fancier bi-directional scanners you like better are nothing but cheap older mobile phones in a plastic case running software. Software that *could* be made available for anyone's device for a fee, and with a special connector could do the exact same thing. Literally. But they manufactures want you to be their old tech bulky boxes to try to justify the hyper-inflated cost. Like I said, its a racket. But I guess if you do this daily for a living and a good portion of it can be written off as a business expense, then I guess the cost is nominal. But for the occasional shade tree mechanic, they are creating an artificial barrier to entry. The simple solution would be to have local auto parts stores just rent these expensive units out for a reasonable daily rate. But they do not appear to be available, probably because of fears of theft and the hyper-inflated costs of these units. Anyway, thanks for the reply. Life sucks sometimes.

    Had used Lucas in my Saturn, commuter car, years ago as there was gas leaking in the multiport fuel injection. After a couple of treatments the problem cleared up. Would use it 2x between oil changes. A couple of years ago I started using MMO. Gave it a try. Now using it all the time as I do see a bit of an increase in fuel economy. If it’s helping lube the fuel system and clean the injectors I good with that. Happy with this.

      Lucas is good stuff too- Glad you're seeing positive results with MMO. I get about 3% increase in fuel milage with it.

    My father having been a Master mechanic in the United States Navy explained it to me like this, of all the rings on a piston in your internal combustion engine the number one top most ring gets almost virtually no lubrication whatsoever and is literally almost completely metal to metal marvel mystery oil, when added to the gasoline in the proper proportion improves compression leaves behind a minor lubricant on the cylinder walls and helps to improve overall engine performance, one oz, in a tank of gas is a minute amount and after having used it for decades, and I'm not being compensated by them for this I can honestly say it works😮😮😮😮😮😮

    Wow. I'm impressed. Looks like it was easier going on than getting off. I have the HF tire changer. Definitely getting that upgrade. I'd consider this a preppers tool. Thanks for the vid.

      The upgrade does make it much easier- Those tires are pretty big and mounting them was easy

    What I have a hard time understanding is people b....g about the Mitsubishi Mirage and the Nissan Versa (the cheapest new cars out there in North America as of 2024/2025) and at the same time complaining the average car/suv/light truck costs US$49k when new and it comes with plenty of bells and whistles that are not really that needed.

    Nice mechanical machine! Back in the day (60's and 70's) I used a bumper jack to break the bead and tire irons and my feet to remove the tire. Tire irons, stepping on it and a big rubber hammer to put the tire back on. Sometimes the hardest part was getting the tire seated back on the rim without a belly band. I have seen videos of people spraying WD-40 into the tire and throwing a match at it to pop the bead back up. Not sure I would try that!

      Those videos make me cringe- Yes it does work, but sometimes it can cause more issues

    My wife bought one exactly like this new in 73 in Charlotte NC. She recalls she had a little fender dust up on the passenger side rear fender. Hers came with Air Conditioning. She loves this video. She was 17 when she bought it. Great Job!
