Boy, today’s radiators are the size of the AC condensers in the past, like my 78 GMC , 82 Caprice, all copper to, if I didn’t have the $ I’d just cut & solder the leaking core & still wouldn’t overheat, but a replacement on payday 😂
@@williamclaflin7863 I used to buy an aftermarket 4 core copper radiator for my truck for $150 back then, early mid 90’s, I wish had kept some of them vehicles
The best thing to do in summer is remove them huge plastic engine covers, this allows heat to escape better to aid in a cooler engine, winter comes re install it.
I'm surprised you're able to fix that headrest that headrest popping out like that that's for collisions in a hard frontal collision it'll pop forward so as your head comes back after hitting the airbag to cushion your head after you fall back into the seat normally things like that for crashes once it's out it locks into place and there's no way to fix it usually you have to replace it
Here’s the deal. Your brother absolutely has to be Peter. Imagine “just another service provided by your friendly neighborhood Mechanic-Man” 😂😂 we will also accept “Matt-Man” or “MattTheMechanic” 😂
What is that little tool you used to screw onto the hood strut and hold the hood up? I’m boutta do valve cover gaskets on my 01 bonneville and the hoot struts are shot, I’d like to get one of these so I don’t have to use my handy dandy vice grips
Also what is the tool you used to push the brake caliper piston back? Looks nicer then a c clamp, sorry I don’t mean to sound like a dumbass i’ve just never seen these cool gadgets ya got
@@DankWheezy710 ive just used vicegrips on a worn hood strut to keep it open..and a c clamp on calipers do the same job..and you can have the handle on the vicegrips out of the way.. theres not much point in buying these besides they look cool..
@@richsweeney1115 I would just like one of those little clamps for the hood struts so my vice grips don’t eat it up after using it so many times, and sometimes I need that specific pair of vice grips but they’re holding the hood up! lol and I guess this would just feel safer to me idk, and when using a c clamp on my impala I can barely ever push the piston back far enough, I might just need a bigger c clamp though, all my tools are scattered around my pole barn so if I wanna find or use anything it’s a scavenger hunt and it’s a mix of me and my steps dads tools, I’m starting to just buy and rebuy all the stuff I want or need and keeping it separated and organized from everything else
I been using vise grip on mine for years now but for customers cars that's a no no because it digs into the strut and tears the seals up then they leak
If the hood lift struts are broken, they are broken. Vice grips aren’t going to make them any “more” broken. They need to be replaced…in the meantime vice grips are also an option.
Mathew , quick question when you tighten the oil pan drain plug do you use a torque wrench to torque to specs .. what method do you use as a mobile mechanic
Better person then me...I'd just be livid with battery dead after lal that work! You can't take 5 minutes out your day to disconnect the negative terminal? You know you car is going be down for at least week. Stop premature killing your battery by allowing it to drop to 0, that's an extra $20 for the jump usage
@@jasonmurdoch9936 lol 😂 I live in Dallas TX sorry. I'm asking cause I've had my vehicles broken into and my garage too. So now I have cameras at home and keep all my tools inside my house. Just wondering I know some people rent storage.
So when it shakes at 60+ it could be me rotors? It’s some warping going on with them. I balanced my tires a good 3 times & my car still shakes help pls
I lost a customer last week because he called me five times in a row and then five long messages and I couldn’t stop myself from being an asshole call One message is plenty when I get busy. I will call you back promise
the owner of the vehicle is such a nice customer to deal with.

I see you shop at Oreilly. Thanks bro. I’m a manager at one in Arizona and we appreciate your business. Truly
100$ upcharge if they watch and tell stories 😂
As a mobile mechanic, I used to get sad when people went back inside. It can get lonely out there.
yeah just a 20 min job will turn into a hour lol@@McAdamsMechanics
@@McAdamsMechanicslmao made me smile sometimes you want people to be interested in what you do
Spontaneous miscellaneous charge
For sure 👌🤣
Have to love engineer's who design these cars with no room to work on them. You do good work
Great work Matt!!

I would like to meet you one he seems so cool lol. Matthew energy is so Great.
What is the name of the stuff you're brushing onto the caliper?? Thanks
Would putting couple pieces of cardboard in first slide radiator in between cardboard, help against the stuff from scratching?
Matt,what did you charge for labor & service call fee for a job like this?? Just curious. Thanks

You can get new hood shocks for 15$ probably cheaper than the tool
Love your videos but you really gotta buy an action cam that can shoot full screen landscape mode
Hey buddy just a suggestion ik ur a mechanic but u have two different size tires on the back of ur truck it will chew up ur rear end
Nice job
Matt whats the thing ypu used for the hood strut

Mathew , quick question when you tighten the oil pan drain plug do you use a torque wrench to torque to specs .. what method do you use as a mobile mechanic
I don't trust Torque wrenches on most things because there is a tendency to strip out threads. Prefer feel.
Oil pan plug? Just snug it
hand tight nice n snug
@@minecrafterselite1probably a little more than hand tight, but it don't take much
@@pingpong9656dude your supposed to torque every bolt down to spec, you must not know how to use a torque wrench

Can’t believe that guy didn’t replace the t junction after you told him about that.

1 person asked what can I do to help. I said leave
The world of exspensive plastic parts, Ill stick with my 67 Mustang Fastback.
To the customer if you read this. Please stop bothering him. He’s got other jobs to do mate!
Hey brother i have a question for you? How is it keeping your tools in ur truck? Has anyone tried stealing from you? Do you keep it in ur garage?
Sounds to me like somebody's looking for an easy target why would you care if he Parks it in his garage or not just saying

325 bucks to detail? I need to get out the paint and body business sounds like
All of these video's I watch seem to have the same issue. They aren't Toyota or Honda. American made keeps you paid!
How might that prop clamp
I use vice grip
I pad it and clamp it
