Thanks for the video, definitely helped me!
kristin naughton Thank you! I’m very happy to hear that!
I’m just going to ask you if you’re single
I remember the good old days when replacing a starter ment you only had to take off the starter and nothing else.
Man ain't that the truth and this job isn't that easy .
I didn’t remove the exhaust manifold, just the converter and worked great. Thanks for the video
That's what I did.... Way better than the top
I just worked on this vehicle. No need for all this. Remove oil filter and starter bolts and starter slides right out. Then remove connector and other cable. Same process in reverse for install! Saved alot of time
did not even remove the filter and it was easy lots of room 15 minutes
Jon Va how did you do it? I’m about to do it on our outlook
nice job stormy, its always good to see a lady fixing a car. and really knowing what she is doing !!! spike
Thank you! I appreciate your support!
Great videography. I have a 2007 GMC Envoy but watched it anyway. Notes and speed helped those of us getting lost in the order of removals.
Great Video, Very helpful. I have been working on my Acadia for 3 years now, getting ready to do my starter and struts now. Mine is an 08 with 260K miles. Keep up the great videos and it good to see a woman turning wrenches.
Wow makes me think more of not buying one of those kind of cars I thought changing the alternator on my nissan frontier was a job this girl is awesome at what she does and makes it look easy great job
Just did one today on a 2010 chevy traverse, I was going to remove the manifold but decided to try slipping it out the passenger side without even touching the manifold. It worked great, all you have to do is remove the oil filter and the knock sensor then you can pull it out enough to disconnect the wires. Saves a lot of time and you don't have to fight with rusty manifold bolts.
Did you do it from the passenger's side on the outside? I have a 2008 Acadia and my husband is looking for some help. What a crazy design.
@@barbhaycraft1647 how else would he have? Passenger side inside? Think about what you asked for a second barb, and please don't disappoint me liked this again sweet heart
Did you remove the passenger side tire?
how did you remove the upper bolt holding the starter? it is blocked by the cat and has little room.
@@TyzFix Wow! i just noticed people asked me questions, haven't been on here in a while. well that was 2 yrs. ago but I think i would have used an extension with a swivel adapter.
Wow she's beautiful smart and can work on cars and control her camera at the same time classy 👌
Thank u this video helped me a lot. I just got done putting a starter in a 2008 Buick Enclave, same set up as the one in the video. It wasn’t the easiest job I’ve done. Could not no matter what get the dip stick out but I just moved it to the side with the manifold
I'm glad it helped! 💙
We’ll all I can say is WOW!!! You are definitely Awesome!! I even had my youngest daughter watch your video when you did yourS-10!!! I am still very VERY IMPRESSED BY YOU STORMY!!
Stormy you are a freaking boss!!! Great video
Great job, looking at replacing a starter on 2012 GMC ACADIA, don’t know how to and went to Amazon and saw your comment and said to go to your TH-cam page which I did. How you did it, I might get a mechanic to do it, don’t know how much it’ll cost. Thank you again.
I was looking to change the spark plugs on our Enclave when TH-cam flashes up this pretty young girl replacing a starter. So of course, I had to watch it. Actually, this video is very well done with everything you need to know in the text captioning, without dragging out long mundane tasks you see in a lot of other TH-cam videos. One suggestion: I would never craw under that car with just 2 jack stands holding the whole front end up. I would suggest chocking the rear wheels first and using at least 3 stands (adding 1 in the middle) or 2 stands for each side.
James Casada 3-4 jack stands🤣
jhitt79 you make jokes but my uncle died because his car fell on him while he was under it working. I won’t ever risk that happening to me. I say the more jack stands the better.
Sorry, had to freeze it at 3:06. What a cutie!! I'm embarrassed that she knows more than me. Great videos, though.
On my similar 2012 Buick Enclave, I removed the cat converter - that’s all to get starter out (no need to remove oil filter or sensor). If you turn & tilt starter just right, it will slide under sensor. Need long extensions & swivel to get top cat bolts. I removed cat & starter from underneath.
I'm sure family very proud of such intelligent hardworking independent woman such as yourself... Great job keep up the good work no matter what
Awesome video. Your man is VERY FORTUNATE to have a handy, strong female🙏
I wasn’t here for the starter lol but nice job 👍 it’s soo hot watching a woman that knows her way around an engine. I watched the whole video and i was looking to change in a GMC Canyon
This right here show you that you dont always need to pay the high cost of labor if you can DIY.
Wow amazing, just helped me out at work.. a girl helped me..
Thank you for the information you saved me a lot of time figuring this out
You're very welcome! I'm glad the video helped!

So Nice!!!! Oh, and the replacement of that starter was nice also!!!!
Wow thank you got to watch it while I do it you where very very helpful
Thank you Phillip!
You did help me a lot like for your videos, I did suscribe and rang the bell 🤗
Some chevy starters need a shim. If starter grinds or does not engage flex plate/flywheel.
Thanks a bunch! You make it look very easy to complete. Going to definitely subscribe and check back for more tips and tricks
Great video...I have a 2008 outlook which of course you already know is the same vehicle. I do all my own work on car,I haven't changed starter yet but if it does die on me now I have a idea on what's involved ..very nice work...btw those exhaust manifold bolts are so scary cause they break so easy,did you soak them or use any heat?😰😰😰
Just need to know the location i was able to do it w just take the cat out the way nd it was plenty of room header was a no go for me but great vid miss ma’am
This is a really good helpful video but removing the exhaust manifold is an extra step you don't have to do. Once you got the cat moved to the side the rest of the job can be done underneath the vehicle. There is enough room to remove the 2 15mm bolts holding on the starter but you have to take off the knock sensor first. The knock sensor is held on by a 10mm bolt close to the oil filter.
I didn't do anything with the exhaust manifold, just removed the oil filter and the knock sensor. You then have plenty of room to pull it out.
Awesome video, most people remove the engine mount when it’s so much easier to remove the catalytic converter lol. I would not have removed the manifold but I guess it made it even easier but did the knock sensor get in your way?
Holy hell. A beautiful woman that can turn wrenches! Unicorn
Dream Girl! Great video!
YOU MADE THAT LOOK SIMPLE 😊😊
I am also auto electration thanks for you're enfarmation
Where's new content you have really good edits and even then really informative
Love to see you do that best ever you just became my best friend...
Nice starter 👌
Do you know where I can find the crank shaft position sensor on a 2011 GMC Terrain??
Wowzers, some guy is very lucky
So what I learned from this video is I have to disassemble half the car to change the starter....great.
Thanks so much for the video
I never wear my regular street and going out clothes when working on my car at home. I always wear work clothes so i don't get my regular cloths dirty plus I do not have a garage and its cold in ny so i work outside and wear work sweatshirts
Great video. About how long did the actual repair take. Getting ready to replace mine.
Got it done in a few hours. Thanks for putting up this post.
Thanks for video gona have to do this ugh
Wow you’re pretty and a mechanic, what a double whammy 🥰
Great video Stormy, Love your channel.

This woman is badass

im sorry but you that look so easy and then again i was blown away with your beauty, but i need to re watch it since i have to do the same change out the starter :) 7/09/23 but thanks for the vid :)
You left out a few steps, but good video. Big help.
Did you curse or throw anything? Or did you edit that out?
About how long does this task take to do?
great video clock needs battery.lol
That clock came & went with that household 😂
Wow you are cute and smart and cool!!! Nice video now i'll try to do it myself!!😕
Wuau!! Muy bien! Buen trabajo y muy guapa
Excellent job thanks
About how long should this take?
Nice job. Thanks
those little hands help getting into small places ...lol
How many miles on it, when the starter went out.
Good job.. Keep it up 👍
How long did the whole job take?
A hot girl and cars. What else can I ask for? 😍😍😍
I have the same car and it sucks living in apartments
I am seriously shocked that there isn't a bunch of "dirty" comments. I would agree about ditching the music and doing more commentary, but not really a big deal.
(You're hot)
2:10 have mercy!...... I think I love you
@@karenbrianna7906 You can't even spell "You're" or "Moron"......
Woooooow those are going to be a pain in the ass when they start to get old and rusty...
Nice to see a girl working on cars.
Well.... I'm in love.
I don't know why GMC couldn't simplify things on this unit but it's stupid the way they design it and made it hard to access some simple stuff.
never buy Gmc if you love them all my power to U...
Amazing u make this job look easy ... u look like a dream wife
May i get a link to this song
Fly tool box ,what state you wrenching from.
Thanks! Washington State! 🌲
Thats amzing i have a white box too ,its really nice to see what you do ive always wanted to have woman techs at my shop,amazing to see you work with great confidence.keep up the good work
@@elcondenegro31 Thank you! I appreciate your support! 🔧🖤
@@Wrenchology are you looking to open up a shop ,
@@elcondenegro31 maybe one day! 😊
You know you didn’t have to remove that whole exhaust manifold right? Just the catalytic converter , and the knock sensor , then you’re good
I don’t know why but there are 15 videos saying to do it this way and only 1 (the TRQ video) shows how to actually take it out from the bottom by removing the front motor mount and motor mount bracket you - don’t have to mess with the catalytic converter or exhaust manifold - 1000% easier better with no chance of breaking bolts….. please don’t do it this way!
Nice job.....
Robert Truth Thank you! I appreciate it!
Please! Help me with mi GM crap...
My acadia 2010 don't start, maybe the battery die:/....
how on earth do you wear nice clothes and not get dirty? i cant even comprehend this 🤣
awesome!
Bueutifu nice video 👍
Nice!!!!
Im a master tech looking for a wife lmao dope video
Good video. I don’t think I would want to own this car or a traverse. GM did a really bad job designing these cars. A starter or transmission work should not be this complicated.
My question to you is: I have a 2009 GMC Acadia SLT, every now and then the starter makes a "CLICK" and the motor does not start, it has been doing that more and more frequently. do you think the starter needs replacement?
fidel lozano Before replacing the starter, double check all of your connections! The signal wire is known for getting loose over time. Hope this helps!
Wrenchology what is the signal wire ? Where is it located?
I'd rather do a Northstar.
so la chica maravilla buen trabajo
When are going to do a new video ?
Good job but what a bad design
This Acadia is a bunch of problems ,my friend bought it,my brother, our colleague at work ,and many people that I know all have transmission issues and need transmission change after warranty expires ,if you get extended warranty you are lucky they'll change it for you but I love this car want to buy it but after this issue never think about buying this crap
Why is everyone removing the exhaust lmao. Just remove the mount for your own sake!
You need to come work for me better those stupid people I have lol
We know why we click this video lol
Am I the only one who noticed there's no wheel chocks on the rear tire the garage door isn't gonna stop that truck from rollin js
They're really small, you just can't see them. Thanks for asking! 👍
@@Wrenchology had to ask cause I have a friend who did the same and let me tell you luckily i was there with the 3 ton jack
