My problem is the material is not moving forward. Needle is just going up and down.
What size are the rims?
@@eddiefernandez3597 20”
Excellent job brother!
@@300wsm300 thank you! It was a very fun project
Yes, thank you! Your tip fixed the “not picking up thread” issue.
Thank you for your video. My problem is that the thread from the needle and go around doesn't continue the round so it comes the next stitch and get jammed
The 94-97 jeep grand Cherokee box is a great upgrade. Cheap if you get it at the junkyard.
@@Camaro-1969 had though of the jeep box but I would send it off to redhead for a rebuild and by that time its basically the same as just buying this new setup
15:35 you said toed in don’t you mean cambered in?
GEEAT VIDEO!!!
Did you use the factory lower control arm? Just changed out the upper arm? Same spindles?
@@ChrisPfeiffer-z7w just the upper arms were replaced
This helped me find a few leaks in my intercooler tubes, there was a few pinholes
@@king21w48 glad it helped!
I put my car in park while at the jack n the box drive thru waiting for my food. When I was ready to go I went to shift and I had no gears 😂 I almost had a heart attack thinking my transmission blew up or something. Google was no help. I was stuck in the drive thru blocking the restaurant and the workers were trying to push my car out but it was in park, it wasn’t going to budge. The space was too tight for a tow truck and I’m the only mechanic I know. I checked the trans fluid it was low and I added fluid as needed and tried shifting again but nothing. I pretty much gave up and sat in my car waiting for sweet death. On second thought thinking about new transmission shop costs and tow trucks I popped the hood again hoping for the best. I followed the shift cable all the way to the trans and there sitting on top was the linkage disconnected and no bushing to be found. I popped it back on the transmission jumped in the car it shifted and I got outta there! When I got home I bought the Dorman piece but if its not going to last then I might as well try it your way. Thanks for the vid.
@@ghettobrown209 always at the worst time! Just do this and never worry about it again, you put that plastic piece in there and it will be in the back of your mind every time you grab the shifter otherwise!
I have a brother machine I've always had a brother machine you don't have to oil it and it runs like a dream
How is this holding up? I wanna do this to my ram too. Currently stock
@@THECONDOR98 fantastic turbo and tuning. Zero issues and highly recommend.
It is absolutely ridiculous. Like why TF did they make that.
@@thebluehero2219 gotta make something that can be so simple complicated and plastic I guess…
Thanks for posting this video!! I appreciate that you answered many questions which has clarified it for me…. I bought the parts already per your links and waiting for some warm weather to install!!
@@seeunow44 thanks for watching! It’s a really good mod that has worked great for my situation
Thank you so incredibly much. I have been searching for the solution for literally years. I haven’t tried it yet, but I will and keep you posted.
You are a lifesaver! I got this machine literally yesterday and experienced this very issue. Your video helped me fix it! Thank you!!!

@@WahhabSherzad I don’t know it’s top speed I have the throttle stop set about 25-30mph
I tried holding the wheel back while trying to turn the needle wheel. And it WONT turn. at all.
I am so thankful for this video. I have a Singer 4411 that I could not troubleshoot. I was angry & frustrated. So much so that I researched the cost of a new machine. Before committing to purchasing a new Singer I took it in to my local shop. Without even looking at it I was quoted a repair price that was only $20 less than a new 4411! Angry does not even begin to describe my outrage at this guys audacity. He didn't want to fix it, just wanted me to buy one of his overpriced machines. So I bought a new machine, but not from him! I upgraded to the 4452 and was very happy. However it still bugged me that my 4411 was sitting in my closet not fixed. Then it happened. My 4452 got bound up during a very heavy duty project. 😢 This time I searched TH-cam & found your video. Hallelujah!! I fixed my 4452 & my 4411. Not sorry I upgraded, but I'm thrilled I was able to fix my 4411 myself! Your video has now saved me several times THANK YOU!!!
@@Teekawolf fantastic!! Glad it helped
What was the cost of the upgrade
I have a stock turbo with a boost fooler and I can get 40 lbs of boost
I ordered the product and then kept watching other people doing it and saw that it sometimes leaves streak marks but i noticed that for you if was just like half of the hood that was a bit steraky. How did you do it?
@@KevIn-h7q9f best guess is that those few streaky or dull sections were due to not applying enough product. Keep the sponge wet, take your time and it will turn out great!
@@trbokmro Thanks! And hopefully! So you didn't have any other streaks? Also can you buff them out? Will it get damaged if you buff it?
@ I don’t see how a fine wet sand and buff could possibly hurt it. But that being said if you’re going for a perfect finish you should probably just repaint the car
I want that patina kinda look I don't wanna mess I don't wanna mess with my OEM Paint so I might do a spray on clear!👍
@ you can also spray this on
this video helped alot, i had some pants i had to get fixed in a short amount of time and this video is the only reason i wasn't walking around with my cheeks in the wind. highly appreciate you and other people that make helpful videos like these
Omg!! I just literally 3 days ago got my 4432 in black (she’s beautiful) started off fine then ran into this problem!!!!😩you helped me out alot
Thank you!!!
THANK YOU! You Saved me a $100. I decided I had nothing to lose by trying to fix it myself but had nowhere to turn except to TH-cam -- Your video was an answer to prayer! My machine is up and running again. I subscribed and tomorrow I'll see what else you have to offer.
@@joanneklassen4637 awesome! Glad it got you up and running again
Thank you so much for this video! I'm in the same boat. I put a brand new door seal on my 75 K10, of course, in the middle of winter. I had the doors shutting with the tip of my finger before but now I was back to slamming the hell out of it. I had no idea what to do. I kept adjusting the door striker, hoping that would help. It just made it worse. Thank God I found your video! I'll have to give this a shot. By the way, how long were you letting it cool in between?
@@Sc0teeBe318 just a couple minutes, the seal cools really fast
Cool video, cheers bud, I’m about to do my 68 wheel alignment after a full Hotchkis suspension and steering swap out and the Guldstrand Mod to improve the castor. Did you use the settings from Posi? For toe in / camber? Daz
I recommend buying part # 14073.
@@BV-Auto I prefer a steel bolt that won’t fail over a $15 plastic part that will get brittle
@trbokmro I agree with you but not everybody has that type of equipment or tools for that type of repair.
Love the video review! I'm looking into solving my power steering woes on my 69 Camaro. new OEM box and pump now.... and the pump struggles at low speeds. I just ordered from summit lares 13154 pump and new GM fluid. We'll see how that goes first
@@eF154 send that stuff back while you can!! Totally worth the extra cost if any for this upgrade. Just did a 68 impala and it steers just as good and my camaro!
My screws are so tight 😢I can’t them off
@@chrishaunachristie4920 get a stubby screwdriver
THANK YOUUUU! I was literally crying trying to figure out what was wrong and you saved me a good amount of money I thought I needed a new machine or having to pay someone to fix it 😭 thank you!

Is the left side rear caliper located facing the front of the car ?
@@billlawrie4660 for this kit yes, it depends on your shock location they have a rear/rear caliper setup option if that’s how your suspension is configured.
@@trbokmro shocks are staggered.
What does be the same for the heavy duty singer machine that has the automatic thread cutter
Great video! Love the 396! Do you still have the old rims? Look for rims for my 68 Firebird.

Hey do you by any chance know how to fix bunching/ bird nest problem? I been stuck on this problem for an hour and I can’t figure it out
@@Wrldstarr only fix I’ve done for bunching is in the video.
How is it holding up? Been 2 years now roughly
@@Agonarch50 sold the truck but I can say it’s as tough as any other spray on clear I’ve done with a paint job
Literally a new machine. Day of opening box, set everything up, and run maybe 10 inches of a very nice line. Switch to a zigzag to overlap an edge to keep it from fraying, and set the thing back to where it was in the first place, and now it's missing stitches, then a whole line. This looks exactly like my problem, thank you for posting and I am very hopeful it fixes my issue. Going to run upstairs and try now. Thanks again.
Aargh, I KNOW this is the answer to my problem, but I can't figure out how to tweak it the way you did with a screwdriver. It seems like my outside silver circle opening is much farther away from where it's supposed to be than yours was. I don't want to push too hard with my screwdriver and bust this brand new machine. I need to make a Christmas present tonight and I'm so frustrated.
Do you heat, let it cool, then shut the door? Or heat, shut right after?
@@toddhutchins6055 get it hot then shut the door immediately. Repeat as needed!
Great video. I used a grade8 1/4 bolt. I didnt have to drill holes at all and worked great. Did have to grind down the head on the bolt.
We're you having any rough idling or stalling issues after the 07 E🎉Escalade has been driven
@@michaelryce6835 no didn’t have any stalling issues or rough idle with mine.
@trbokmro Understood it was diagnosed as a possible VVT solenoid or crank shaft sensor something of that nature
@ it could cause those problems don’t rule it out I just didn’t experience those conditions.
Thank you very much!!!!
