That pull star technique at 24:30 actually works greas. I started a few cars this way when i didn't have battery power. Firs turn on the ignition, Then put the gear in the second or third (depending on the car). Dont bother trying on the first gear. Twist some rope around the weel, and pull 😉.
A large VW dealership near me had an accident happen a few decades ago. They had lifted a car with a small forklift like that one (for cars you really should use far larger and wider ones) and with it tipping over, it hit one of the bridges that had another car on it, which in turn made the bridge anchor bolts sheer and the bridge tip over, into the bridge next to it. This chained into all 10 bridges in their shop, almost all of them having a car on them, being pushed over and the cars on them being wrecked. Doing something like this, you're not just endangering the idiots standing under the car, the car and the forklift, it has the potential to destroy your whole shop, having a bunch of multi ton pieces of metal flying about. It's many degrees beyond just dangerous.
I remember when the first episode came out I thought someone was trying to rip off the main Donut channel content and was so excited to find out that it was a legit spin-off channel.

Imagine that anti catalytic converter theft "device" coming out on the highway and you being a motorcycle rider just chillin, cruising along. That's some final destination shit waiting to happen.
I give big respect to the editors for not making this like a chronological compilation. You took the clips and added them in a way to where we won't see all off road recovery in a row and then all drag clips then next video, etc. I appreciate that a lot.
I got a couple homies like Sandro. They’re the best homies to have. You Could tell em we’re doing a motor swap or a homocide and either way they’re down 😂
To help you guys out-- I was a painter for a few years, and the whole "buckets stuck together" thing happens a lot in that field, too, as one might imagine. Put simply, all you have to do is break the seal between the two buckets; they're flexible enough where you could easily fit a wrench or other narrow tool between (we usually used a 5-in-1). With the vacuum broken, the buckets slide right apart.
Happens a lot with pool guys also, I was a painter for a while and remodeling guy, lots of buckets. Use a blower, a vacuum in reverse, or a compressor with a air nozzle, and blow air between the buckets. Don't have your head over it just in case. I've done something like this with swimming pool filters that are steel or stainless steel tanks with a big rubber o ring. Remove the clamp, drain out a little water, maybe 1/3, and then turn on the pump. You gotta be very careful, and have a good ear and eye for it, and put a hand or something draped over the lid to keep it from flying into anything above the tank, or go into low orbit. Definitely don't have your head over this. Don't even think about doing this... The information is for illustration purposes only. I used to train people at that job, and very rarely ever found someone I could teach that.
Canned air. Need them apart and not around a compressor? Canned air with that little plastic tube can get it done in a pinch. PC guy, but I also work on my car ;)
One of my friends died last year working under his car because the jack slipped and the truck came down on his head. Thats was him doing stuff the right way i can only imagine what would have happened if that forklift let go with them under the truck like that.
My old boss at the shop I used to work at told me a joke about mechanics and engineers that seems to hold true. It went, "Waay back, a mechanic slept with an engineer's wife, and there has been enmity between the groups ever since."
It's the same issue everywhere. Corporations don't let engineers and mechanics or drivers talk, causing insane issues. My neighbor drives for the national public transport service. Every time some desk jockey designs new routes, the first driver that sees it sees 1001 issues with the new route, their feedback is ignored, the route is put in action and within a month it gets changed repeatedly because it simply doesn't work the way the engineers envisioned it. A year later, same issue all over. There was a period between 2005-2010 where the engineers had to go on bustrips with drivers to test out new routes and write down the issues, which caused new routes being implemented having to undergo fairly few changes. But then some politician came up and said they'd streamline the process and fucked it all up again.
@@enlightendbel yeah... it's the same way everywhere.. pencil pushers are the worst.. they come up with shit ideas to justify their job, when it didnt need it in the first place
Same here, im not even a car guy but i loved listening to those two and this video definitely has the same vibes and is even pretty good educational stuff.
I can't believe the torque on that semi that blew its engine. The driver side front tire was completely off the ground from the rotational torque being applied to the mounts. Insane.
I have to disagree with the crew and guests here; that truck is pushing well over 100psi I'd say. 60psi isn't unrealistic on a decently built Cummins in a Dodge/RAM. A stock X15 probably pushes 40psi with a factory tune. My detuned DD15 made 35ish. I'd say it's making well over 4000ftlb of torque at the crank considering a stock will make 2000.
I'm still laughing about it. But it's not wrong. You're using 12v analog to 5v digital reference. A 10v battery will confuse computers. Like a double shot of Everclear on a 90-lb girl with an empty stomach.
I worked at Chevy dealer and we had brand new Escalades that had this issue 29:18 and some days we’d spend hours tearing the interior apart most of the time it was either a pinched drain line from the sunroof but they were to cheap to give a customer a new vehicle. It was usually a factory defect covered by warranty
The first clip sorta happened to me. I had my ecm reprogrammed by a "professional" and they changed my rev limiter from 7,000 to 9,500, which I didn't want nor did they inform me they changed it. A week later during a hard acceleration my tires broke loose in 2nd gear on a damp interstate on-ramp. Instantly my RPMs jumped from 5,000 to pinned(my tach only goes to about 7,500), then boom bang clunk clunk clunk clunk followed by the sound of muffled crying. The shop tried saying they didn't change rev limiter but the idiots forgot I told them there's a 2 cameras in the car, it recorded them talking to each other. Not only did they talk about changing it but it also recorded them revving it in neutral way past 7,500. Also recorded them smoking weed and cigarettes in my car while taking it for a joyride around town for over an hour and run errands, pickup food and eating it in my car. At every light or stop sign they floored it spinning the tires. Which also explains why I had like no traction on the damp roads the day it blew up. Long story short I got my attorney ex-girlfriend to send them a letter basically stating they are getting sued for $70,000 to buy a new car. They got an attorney to fight but when their attorney seen the video of them abusing my car and basically acting like douchebags and they were told I was going to upload the video to TH-cam, Twitter and give it to the local news and police since they recorded themselves breaking about 20 different traffic laws. They immediately settled for $40,000 + my attorney's fees, which she was doing it for free but I told if they're paying then charge me double what you normally charge, because f*ck them. They have zero respect for other people or others property. And NO, I can't show the video or name the shop, that was part of the settlement. Doesn't matter though so many people found out just from word of mouth they ended closing down less than a year later. So I highly recommend all of you put a camera in your car that records inside your car even when the car is off that activates when it detects people or movement. That $300 camera saved me thousands of dollars.
Those diesel pulls pushin over 120psi. Usually the head bolts/studs break under the boost plus compression. And they toss the head on the track. They even have limiting chain for the high power ones
I've actually had the brake pedal air brakes thing happen to me a couple times, it's scary at first but every time it's happened applying steady pressure solved the problem
Talking about the engineer. Can we address the guy that came up with the 2007 5.7lt Toyota Tundra, and where they put the starter. $1200 labor just to replace it plus $332 for the part. NOT COOL.
I mean, I used to get the Chilton/Haynes manual every time I bought a car. The last one I got, to change the headlight, had the procedure for pulling the entire front clip. "pull front end to change front headlight" seemed like a good point to throw in the towel and let mechanics do the work from now on :P
Some good advice for avoiding "money shifts" 1. Maintain your engine and transmission mounts, or replace them with firmer aftermarket bushes 2. Replace shifter linkage bushings, especially on FWD cars with trans-axles, as they directly control where you're actually putting the shifter 3. Avoid absurdly shot, short-shift kits, as they reduce the accuracy of your shifter
IKR i was just thinking that i wish they would hit it off as a couple, idk if either of them have a current relationship but them together would be very cute
at 46:35 thats how 90% off us swedish people get our springs out we just tie a rope or something to something solid and put the pedal to the metall (usally people driving volvos)
That "pull start" one seems like a good way to encourage people to not just rotate the tire and wheel, but also pull the whole car off the jack and if that car is in gear, it's gonna be in motion. You better be ready to move TF out of the way.
Agreed. In the latter 60's JC Whitney sold a pull rope starter for VW Beetles. It was a lawnmower start rope type that added a pulley to the crank pulley.
@@mikep490 The original VW Beetle had the Option for a "starter crank" - I'm a volunteer with the German Civil Defense Agency and there are still some lighting rigs/generators around, powered with VW Beetle Engines which come with a manual crank as a last resort - I've tried it - it is not easy to turn the engine over and get it running.
@@EricPoehlsen I have seen those but the VW engine was fairly small. I wonder what sized engine you started. The factory VW Beetle engine was 1131 cc, though I think the bus with the crank may have been the 1.2L. I remember turning over my 1960 Beetle engine (power turned off) and it spun easily, much easier than when I hand started my 1959 Hillman. A friend of mine had a '62 VW and said he started his car several times with the pull rope (when he couldn't push-start it). I certainly wouldn't want to try that these days.
Yeah, people tuning diesel engines push some psi for sure. That engine probably exploded. That's how you know you're making power when your engine fukin explodes and flies out of the vehicle.
Guy with the fire extinguisher. His technique was shoddy, but that isn't why they couldn't kill the fire. The fuel was leaking out, so now the whole damn fuel line is on fire. When you try to kill the base of the fire, the fuel that is pouring down that is also lit just reignites the base of the fire again. So, the guy would have to just vary between aiming at the top of the fire where there is now a secondary source and the bottom of the fire. But he would need like three fire extinguishers and maybe two people blasting them so that they can target both sources at the same time.
I really admire the amount of knowledge that they have accumulated in their head! Also, it's one thing to have all that stuff memorized in your head but it's a completely different thing to see a problem and to figure out what could cause that problem! You can compare it with Dr House: you have a bunch of "symptoms" and you have to use your knowledge but especially your experience, too, to figure out what could cause the problem. I find it fascinating to watch them analyse an issue, figure out what could cause that issue and then eliminate the wrong diagnosis, one by one until they know what it is...and then, finally, start fixing the problem, hoping their diagnosis is the right one!
Modern cars with a manual transmission , if the battery is to low on voltage , you can not push start the car due the PCM /ECU not being able to boot up
I assume this was a test video. Consider it well executed.... and give these boys a raise, top to bottom. If you forget my boys in the shop, I will forget your boys online doing all of the editing to make this happen for us all, yourself included. Your customer base is well equipped to handle both long form content, and compilation. Congratulations. Just do it!
The axle boot hack. In the navy, we had a leak, in the prop shaft, outside the hull. The engineers actually, came to the kitchen, to get, a can of evaporated milk, to send down the shaft, to find the leak, then, the divers, wrapped the shaft, with saran wrap, and capped it with pipe clamp, to get us into port, for repairs lol
Dude, those are cross drilled and slotted rotor's. They are worn so bad the slots are pretty much gone. So the idea that those cross drilled holes aren't packed with brake and metal dust? What he's doing in drilling the build up out so they can actually vent again. So yeah, it's doing something. A hack? No. Pointless? Again, no. Idiotic? Yes. Just replace the obviously worn out rotors. How can you call yourself a car guy and not see those are excessively worn cross frilled and slotted rotors. How can you not envision just how packed those holes would be with that much wear? Especially if they were using low quality pads. Judging by the amount of wear on that rotor, low quality pads would not surprise me. Still, I love these videos. Sandro and Ang are my favorites.
29:28 Had an XJ I was redoing the headliner on, taking my sweet time. Every morning when I'd stop at the light facing downhill, there would be drips on my dash and shifter area. Took me days to realize, it was condensation on the bare roof, all running to the front. Otherwise it would soak into the headliner, the evaporate out.
Man, I money shifted my 2001 Audi TT. Luckily I have an extremely fast reaction time so it didn't go into redline. I saved it just before it did, but I guess that's what happens when you learn how to drive a stick on your own. But now I could slide that thing around and do all sorts of cool stuff with it. Hopefully one day be able to meet you guys and you guys could see my car
43:00 The holes are not really for cooling, though they might have some cooling effect. The holes in a rotor are to vent the gasses that are generated when the pads start heating up under friction. It will give a firmer feel to the pedal or lever on a bike.
That pull star technique at 24:30 actually works greas. I started a few cars this way when i didn't have battery power. Firs turn on the ignition, Then put the gear in the second or third (depending on the car). Dont bother trying on the first gear. Twist some rope around the weel, and pull 😉.
@@HE-pu3nt Of course. Having a rear drive car makes it a little more challenging. But the solution there is to have something under the front tire to stop it rolling.
4:01 …100 - 120 psi boost is pretty typical in these setups. Typical stock psi is 25-35. When diesels like this one go, it’s typically because the block splits into pieces from 3000+ psi cylinder pressure.
29:12 ... That happened to me just a year ago with my Jeep Patriot. It leaked all over the radio when i've stopped at the first red light. I thought it would've had something to do with the sunroof but it never happens when it rains. I'm pretty sure this was condensation within my roof that iced during winter and melted in spring. Luckily, no electrical problem in sight.
the clip with the zip tie loosening the oil pan bolt, not only to keep ya hands dry from oil BUT also not to loose the bolt in the pan of oil it drops into at times
my little brother's dad died from getting under his hydraulic dump bed. it got stick up while he was doing an illegal hazmat dump under the table. He decided to get under the bed and try and fix what was stuck, instantly dropped and pancaked his ass. I feel bad for lil bro even tho it happened over 15 years ago. However - his dad did beat our mom multiple times before she left when he was a little one and she boned out to Minnesota to be with him But, he was a new age Nazi, so the world is a better place - environmentally, mother nature wise and a minute less hateful.
Yah thats just a shitty situation because the fluid leaking will never stop fueling the fire. Your pretty much screwed until what ever is leaking empties out of the tank. If I had to guess and seeing where the fire came from it looked like it was near the fuel tank. Figure an average car has between 10 and 15 gallons at any one time in the tank depending on what size it is. Thats a LOT of fuel and it'll take a lot of work to snuff it out. Other problem is that the vapors are what are burning if it is fuel...so unless you can smother it it'll just keep off gassing and igniting. The guy with the extinguisher did everything he could but its just a never ending fire that cant be extinguished.
For someone who has never owned a car and is getting into driving in a society where car transport is everything what's something that be recommended to learn basic mechanic skills to one: understand how a car functions, and two: know what breaks a car to not do something, especially to know when a cheap mechanic is going to break your car or is scamming you
Unfortunately theres no quick easy answer here. Good google searches help a lot. But knowing what to google can be as much of a challenge as finding an answer can be. I started working on cars when i was six. Ive helped my dad, steaad, and grandpa work on cars basically all my life. I still do a google search to brush up anytime im getting under the hood to do something i havent done in a while. Anything that requires pressure, (springs) electrical know-how, or lifting lots of weight (jacking a car up) is when its time to stop and think about what youre doing. Even if experienced. Thats how people end up headlines. Since i brought up jacking a car up, dont trust a jack to not fail. Exoect them to. Use jack stands. Its always worth the extra time and set up. Hondas and toyotas are gonna be cheap and reliable. Hondas are known for being hard to kill. Almost every car ive owned has been a honda and you gotta try to kill these things.
On that 350z tossing a rod, I had a buddy when I was in the Army who was very proud of his 350Z, claimed to everyone that it was built with forged pistons and rods and he could be on the rev limiter all day without damage. Needless to say, he discovered a very quick way to empty the oil pan as well as create some inspection holes in the block.
Fire Extinguisher come in the following classes: A (regular combustibles), B (flammable liguids), C (electrical), D (flammable/reactive metals), and K (kitchen). Minimum fire extinguisher you would want on hand in a shop is a 2A10BC. This means it is good to cover 2000sq/ft of a class A fire and 10 sq/ft of a class B or C fire. Never, evey use water to attempt to extinguish a flammable liquid fire - it will spread the fire as many flammable liquids have a lower specific gravity than water or are not soluable in water and/or cause an explosion from expansion of the water due to near instantaneous evaporation at high enough temperatures.
In the 80s when, in Bensonhurst Brooklyn, with our $200 cars, we had our 1. Vice Grip Shifter 2. Squeegee windshield wiper 3. Homemade license plate, my friend got busted, and cop held up both and said “guess which is the fake one ?” 4. “Mr Gasket” gasket for water pump replacement 5. Pepper for leaking rad. And many others, one resulting in all of us doing a 5 mile walk when we broke down on the Belt Parkway.
1UZ Soarer. Coil failed on expressway, no breakdown lane, had to keep driving. Raw fuel into cats. Blocked. Exhaust manifold cracked. Head gasket survived. Compression still good. Amazing motor.
Never try a push start in reverse. I've been party to that fiasco twice, neither time was starting it discussed with me beforehand. For background context I was part of a school sponsored auto club and we were building a couple of mud runners, one was a "Joker"; a late 80's chevy full size stripped down to cab, engine, and gas tank on shortened bare frame,suspension and tires. The other truck was another full size Chevy also 80's nothing stripped, this was the one involved in both our tales. Both times it wasn't turning over and we needed the stall for other cars and nobody else wanted to help me push. It was one of the times where being of a husky persuasion was a plus. First time it all went alright just a shock when the guy steering the truck while I was pushing it decided to crank it and it actually caught, I warned that if he tried it again I would hogtie him, hook him by his ankles to the back of my car and drag him until he stopped screaming. The second time was a different idiot with the same truck who wanted to see if I could do it twice. The truck lurched forward at me and died, luckily I was only knocked back instead of run over. He took off running asap and ran every time he saw me for a couple weeks after that.
So on the video at 11:55, the issue with that fire is that oil or some other flammable liquid is dripping out of the car and the fire just climbs up it. The guy with the fire extinguisher is pretty much dealing with two fires at that point that are constantly feeding each other. If he puts out the ground fire first, flaming oil will just drip back onto it. If he puts out the fire in the car, the flames from the ground will just climb back up. Only way I could think they could've dealt with that is by getting a second extinguisher to deal with the other flame so both sources are put out.
FYI @ 23:35 since i guess the steering is on the left, i would say the driver is riding goofy which makes that stunt a perfectly executed manual into frontside boardslide. :D
At 19:20 , Pontiac GT I could get the year and more information from the title if needed. Putting the car at a 45 or less degree angle say going down a dirt road, if you hit a pothole loses traction for longer than the count of two. Notice the brake pedal does the exact same thing in the video until all four tires tires get traction back. The company says to fix the problem simply turn off ABS.
I work at a dealership. We usually track the cause of a water leak. I have spent upwards upwards of 2 days with an entire interior taken out of a car looking for leak was coming from a hole behind a windshield that was running down the roof liner into the D piller on the passengers down the a piller on the drivers side and out off the roof console. Basically water was filling the cavity between the sheets of metal that makes up the roof. The body shop didn't repair the leak for a month. So when we got it back it stank of mold and we couldn't return it to that condition so i had to replace the fabrick everything. Seat pads and fabrick the carpeting the roof liner and the firewall dampener behind the dash. 37 hours of wearing a hasmat mask and pure suffing all under warranty

A large VW dealership near me had an accident happen a few decades ago.
They had lifted a car with a small forklift like that one (for cars you really should use far larger and wider ones) and with it tipping over, it hit one of the bridges that had another car on it, which in turn made the bridge anchor bolts sheer and the bridge tip over, into the bridge next to it.
This chained into all 10 bridges in their shop, almost all of them having a car on them, being pushed over and the cars on them being wrecked.

To help you guys out-- I was a painter for a few years, and the whole "buckets stuck together" thing happens a lot in that field, too, as one might imagine. Put simply, all you have to do is break the seal between the two buckets; they're flexible enough where you could easily fit a wrench or other narrow tool between (we usually used a 5-in-1). With the vacuum broken, the buckets slide right apart.

Remove the clamp, drain out a little water, maybe 1/3, and then turn on the pump.

I used to train people at that job, and very rarely ever found someone I could teach that.
About the only thing a Slim Jim is good for these days.
The amount of people who struggle with 2 buckets is amazing
drilled something like an 1/8 inch hole in the bottom and stuck a pointed air nozzle in and they came apart. Any gasket sealer will fix the hole.
Canned air. Need them apart and not around a compressor? Canned air with that little plastic tube can get it done in a pinch. PC guy, but I also work on my car ;)
“We fart so we don’t shart”

But then some politician came up and said they'd streamline the process and fucked it all up again.
@@enlightendbel yeah... it's the same way everywhere.. pencil pushers are the worst.. they come up with shit ideas to justify their job, when it didnt need it in the first place
Engineers and techs united
The accountants and management is the problem.
They are ALWAYS the problem
This is the next evolution of Car Talk! I grew up listening to those guys and love watching everything this crew is doing for all the same reasons.
Same here, im not even a car guy but i loved listening to those two and this video definitely has the same vibes and is even pretty good educational stuff.
This is my new favorite YT channel. It combines humor and automotive insight; brilliant.
(49:01) “And that’s how you take gas from your neighbor” 😂🤣 That’s cold bruh 🤣🤣
That got me good!!!
The face he had when he said that killed me.
I can't believe the torque on that semi that blew its engine. The driver side front tire was completely off the ground from the rotational torque being applied to the mounts. Insane.
The mounts didn't fail. Either the block split just above the mounts, or that was just the head that flopped out
I have to disagree with the crew and guests here; that truck is pushing well over 100psi I'd say. 60psi isn't unrealistic on a decently built Cummins in a Dodge/RAM. A stock X15 probably pushes 40psi with a factory tune. My detuned DD15 made 35ish.
I'd say it's making well over 4000ftlb of torque at the crank considering a stock will make 2000.
😂 Sandro " I wouldn't do it again"
😎
If Sandro tells you not to do something, you know it must be dangerous. I feel like he's the type to try anything at least once
Uhhhhhhhh those fellas are definitely crazy to be standing under a DATSUN FORKLIFT that’s holding a 1 ton truck dude 2:14
10:50 😂 I can totally relate to my piston rod looking at me like " WHAT DID YOU DO?!"
I loved her description of a low battery. It gets drunk and makes poor decisions!
And that's why we have EVs.
@@MGower4465 ah yes nothing will go wrong there, ever :p
I'm still laughing about it. But it's not wrong. You're using 12v analog to 5v digital reference. A 10v battery will confuse computers. Like a double shot of Everclear on a 90-lb girl with an empty stomach.
Nothing like a compilation of people doing car fails to make me feel better about how bad a mechanic I am :D cheers Donut folks & guests
8:33 - I had a similar problem in a Nissan. Nissan loves making mechanics drop the engine for every repair.
Seeing a diesel Runaway is one of my favourite bits of street theatre, also in England when a rod escapes we say "Its Thrown a leg out of bed"
Great to see Angelina back. The voice of someone with some sense-ish 🤣
I love this channel
Fun, crazy and yet informative
Keep em coming
I think 'best of 2023' might mean it's a compilation of the best of? Correct me if I'm wrong
I think Nolan really really likes her😅

Are you saying do it for the boys ain't sense!?!?!
@@s70driver2005 i think she's cool but I don't like her like that tho
I worked at Chevy dealer and we had brand new Escalades that had this issue 29:18 and some days we’d spend hours tearing the interior apart most of the time it was either a pinched drain line from the sunroof but they were to cheap to give a customer a new vehicle. It was usually a factory defect covered by warranty
The first clip sorta happened to me. I had my ecm reprogrammed by a "professional" and they changed my rev limiter from 7,000 to 9,500, which I didn't want nor did they inform me they changed it. A week later during a hard acceleration my tires broke loose in 2nd gear on a damp interstate on-ramp. Instantly my RPMs jumped from 5,000 to pinned(my tach only goes to about 7,500), then boom bang clunk clunk clunk clunk followed by the sound of muffled crying.
The shop tried saying they didn't change rev limiter but the idiots forgot I told them there's a 2 cameras in the car, it recorded them talking to each other. Not only did they talk about changing it but it also recorded them revving it in neutral way past 7,500. Also recorded them smoking weed and cigarettes in my car while taking it for a joyride around town for over an hour and run errands, pickup food and eating it in my car. At every light or stop sign they floored it spinning the tires. Which also explains why I had like no traction on the damp roads the day it blew up.
Long story short I got my attorney ex-girlfriend to send them a letter basically stating they are getting sued for $70,000 to buy a new car.
They got an attorney to fight but when their attorney seen the video of them abusing my car and basically acting like douchebags and they were told I was going to upload the video to TH-cam, Twitter and give it to the local news and police since they recorded themselves breaking about 20 different traffic laws. They immediately settled for $40,000 + my attorney's fees, which she was doing it for free but I told if they're paying then charge me double what you normally charge, because f*ck them. They have zero respect for other people or others property.
And NO, I can't show the video or name the shop, that was part of the settlement. Doesn't matter though so many people found out just from word of mouth they ended closing down less than a year later.
So I highly recommend all of you put a camera in your car that records inside your car even when the car is off that activates when it detects people or movement. That $300 camera saved me thousands of dollars.
That’s an awesome story, I wish I had a lawyer ex-girlfriend. It pays to stay on good terms with those ones 😂
@@Sniperboy5551 She wasn't a lawyer when we dated, she was a MP(Military Police) and to be honest we weren't on the best of terms for years.
"THE ROD FLEW OUT ?!?!"
"Thats dope" 😂😂
"EJECTO SEAT-O, CUZ!" 😃
“Slow down and think about it” is really good advice just in general
Those diesel pulls pushin over 120psi. Usually the head bolts/studs break under the boost plus compression. And they toss the head on the track. They even have limiting chain for the high power ones
34:40
That Corvette-dragster went out the same way Mercedes had their famous CLR-crashes at Le Mans.
I've actually had the brake pedal air brakes thing happen to me a couple times, it's scary at first but every time it's happened applying steady pressure solved the problem
Talking about the engineer. Can we address the guy that came up with the 2007 5.7lt Toyota Tundra, and where they put the starter. $1200 labor just to replace it plus $332 for the part. NOT COOL.
I mean, I used to get the Chilton/Haynes manual every time I bought a car. The last one I got, to change the headlight, had the procedure for pulling the entire front clip. "pull front end to change front headlight" seemed like a good point to throw in the towel and let mechanics do the work from now on :P
@@matthewprier4340 In cars that want you to remove the front clip for a headlight, you can often get to it through the wheel well instead.
Some good advice for avoiding "money shifts"
1. Maintain your engine and transmission mounts, or replace them with firmer aftermarket bushes
2. Replace shifter linkage bushings, especially on FWD cars with trans-axles, as they directly control where you're actually putting the shifter
3. Avoid absurdly shot, short-shift kits, as they reduce the accuracy of your shifter
Wow 50 episodes already! been here since the first!
I feel like Nolan and Angelina have really fun chemistry doing commentary together.
IKR i was just thinking that i wish they would hit it off as a couple, idk if either of them have a current relationship but them together would be very cute
I’d ship them
James from Donut, and Mike from the offroad recovery show, totally could pull off Father and Son. 😄
I thought they were father and son. Heck at first I thought the wheels fell off of James's wagon and he aged up.
its deadass crazy that no one is talking about that
I legit thought James just grew a beard.
Are they NOT TWIN BROTHERS?!
I thot they were green-screening him with a beard! Crazy.
you cant tell me theyre not related. like dude how. literally like, an age filter on james
at 46:35 thats how 90% off us swedish people get our springs out we just tie a rope or something to something solid and put the pedal to the metall (usally people driving volvos)
Love these so glad y’all made a full channel and series 👍👍🔥
That 350z rod said "aight fellas, I'll holla at you, imma head out then"
That "pull start" one seems like a good way to encourage people to not just rotate the tire and wheel, but also pull the whole car off the jack and if that car is in gear, it's gonna be in motion. You better be ready to move TF out of the way.
Agreed. In the latter 60's JC Whitney sold a pull rope starter for VW Beetles. It was a lawnmower start rope type that added a pulley to the crank pulley.
@@mikep490 The original VW Beetle had the Option for a "starter crank" - I'm a volunteer with the German Civil Defense Agency and there are still some lighting rigs/generators around, powered with VW Beetle Engines which come with a manual crank as a last resort - I've tried it - it is not easy to turn the engine over and get it running.
@@EricPoehlsen I have seen those but the VW engine was fairly small. I wonder what sized engine you started. The factory VW Beetle engine was 1131 cc, though I think the bus with the crank may have been the 1.2L. I remember turning over my 1960 Beetle engine (power turned off) and it spun easily, much easier than when I hand started my 1959 Hillman. A friend of mine had a '62 VW and said he started his car several times with the pull rope (when he couldn't push-start it). I certainly wouldn't want to try that these days.
The clip from 5-Minute Crafts, yeah? Yeah, they're known for pushing dangerous BS in their content farm slop.
I got all excited when I saw an hour long RMS video till I realized it was a best of compilation! Damn you Donut! You got me
That "Mom can you help me?" with the Z hit so close to home lmao
4:11 you know you messed up when your motor just says, "f this, bro! I'm out!" 😂😂😂
Can we get a supercut of Sandro saying "for the boys"?
60psi for that tractor pull truck 😂 he’s crazy that things pushing well over 100+ psi
Yeah 60 is like normal dawg lOol
Yeah and the mounts didn't fail. The block either split above the mounts, or that was just the head that flopped out
I mean, these guys work on cars, and those big trucks are way out there.
I was thinking 100 bare minimum as well, if not closer to 150. I mean a tractor pull truck is a lot different than just a "turned up" road truck so 😂
Yeah, people tuning diesel engines push some psi for sure. That engine probably exploded. That's how you know you're making power when your engine fukin explodes and flies out of the vehicle.
The fact that it’s an almost identical forklift to the one donut tipped is what kills me the most
Guy with the fire extinguisher. His technique was shoddy, but that isn't why they couldn't kill the fire. The fuel was leaking out, so now the whole damn fuel line is on fire. When you try to kill the base of the fire, the fuel that is pouring down that is also lit just reignites the base of the fire again. So, the guy would have to just vary between aiming at the top of the fire where there is now a secondary source and the bottom of the fire. But he would need like three fire extinguishers and maybe two people blasting them so that they can target both sources at the same time.
“I can pull a whole stump out with this thang” lmao killed me
I really admire the amount of knowledge that they have accumulated in their head! Also, it's one thing to have all that stuff memorized in your head but it's a completely different thing to see a problem and to figure out what could cause that problem! You can compare it with Dr House: you have a bunch of "symptoms" and you have to use your knowledge but especially your experience, too, to figure out what could cause the problem. I find it fascinating to watch them analyse an issue, figure out what could cause that issue and then eliminate the wrong diagnosis, one by one until they know what it is...and then, finally, start fixing the problem, hoping their diagnosis is the right one!
Like doctors for cars
I have thought about both careers. There really are lots of similarities.
That brake pedal malfunction wasn’t satan it was Neil Peart 😂
I know not why this comment isn't more popular lmao. Perfect 👌
Modern cars with a manual transmission , if the battery is to low on voltage , you can not push start the car due the PCM /ECU not being able to boot up
I had to push start my 86 civic si for a whole summer when I was a teenager. It was so easy. The -100lbs rust weight reduction helped I think
Clip 2 - you are putting a lot of faith in seriously old hydraulic seals, no mechanical locks, thats a hard no-go as a mechanic.
I assume this was a test video.
Consider it well executed.... and give these boys a raise, top to bottom. If you forget my boys in the shop, I will forget your boys online doing all of the editing to make this happen for us all, yourself included.
Your customer base is well equipped to handle both long form content, and compilation. Congratulations. Just do it!
The axle boot hack. In the navy, we had a leak, in the prop shaft, outside the hull. The engineers actually, came to the kitchen, to get, a can of evaporated milk, to send down the shaft, to find the leak, then, the divers, wrapped the shaft, with saran wrap, and capped it with pipe clamp, to get us into port, for repairs lol
Sandro should just be on all of these videos. He's the best one out of all of them.
Dude, those are cross drilled and slotted rotor's. They are worn so bad the slots are pretty much gone. So the idea that those cross drilled holes aren't packed with brake and metal dust? What he's doing in drilling the build up out so they can actually vent again. So yeah, it's doing something. A hack? No. Pointless? Again, no. Idiotic? Yes. Just replace the obviously worn out rotors. How can you call yourself a car guy and not see those are excessively worn cross frilled and slotted rotors. How can you not envision just how packed those holes would be with that much wear? Especially if they were using low quality pads. Judging by the amount of wear on that rotor, low quality pads would not surprise me.
Still, I love these videos. Sandro and Ang are my favorites.
29:28 Had an XJ I was redoing the headliner on, taking my sweet time. Every morning when I'd stop at the light facing downhill, there would be drips on my dash and shifter area. Took me days to realize, it was condensation on the bare roof, all running to the front. Otherwise it would soak into the headliner, the evaporate out.
16:12 fart not shart 💀 she kills me 🤣
Not Sandro hitting us with the Quesadilla!
Haven’t seen Angelina in a while
Man, I money shifted my 2001 Audi TT. Luckily I have an extremely fast reaction time so it didn't go into redline. I saved it just before it did, but I guess that's what happens when you learn how to drive a stick on your own. But now I could slide that thing around and do all sorts of cool stuff with it. Hopefully one day be able to meet you guys and you guys could see my car
Me too i got close once, i felt hard pulling when slowly releasing the clutch and i knew something was wrong lol
43:00 The holes are not really for cooling, though they might have some cooling effect. The holes in a rotor are to vent the gasses that are generated when the pads start heating up under friction. It will give a firmer feel to the pedal or lever on a bike.
That pull star technique at 24:30 actually works greas.
I started a few cars this way when i didn't have battery power.
Firs turn on the ignition,
Then put the gear in the second or third (depending on the car). Dont bother trying on the first gear.
Twist some rope around the weel, and pull 😉.
And if it falls off the jack?
@@HE-pu3nt Then you have forgotten to put on the handbreak 😁
@@HE-pu3nt Of course. Having a rear drive car makes it a little more challenging. But the solution there is to have something under the front tire to stop it rolling.
4:01 …100 - 120 psi boost is pretty typical in these setups. Typical stock psi is 25-35.
When diesels like this one go, it’s typically because the block splits into pieces from 3000+ psi cylinder pressure.
29:12 ... That happened to me just a year ago with my Jeep Patriot. It leaked all over the radio when i've stopped at the first red light. I thought it would've had something to do with the sunroof but it never happens when it rains. I'm pretty sure this was condensation within my roof that iced during winter and melted in spring. Luckily, no electrical problem in sight.
5:16 the little r/c engine is soo cute!👻
the clip with the zip tie loosening the oil pan bolt, not only to keep ya hands dry from oil BUT also not to loose the bolt in the pan of oil it drops into at times
Love how well u guys explain everything,awesome series guys...liked and subbed👌
my little brother's dad died from getting under his hydraulic dump bed. it got stick up while he was doing an illegal hazmat dump under the table. He decided to get under the bed and try and fix what was stuck, instantly dropped and pancaked his ass. I feel bad for lil bro even tho it happened over 15 years ago.
However - his dad did beat our mom multiple times before she left when he was a little one and she boned out to Minnesota to be with him
But, he was a new age Nazi, so the world is a better place - environmentally, mother nature wise and a minute less hateful.
These guys are very knowledgeable, love it !
You should check our italian pulling championships. I've seen one with 3 600hp engines. awesome.
13:10 looks like they were draining something that caught so the base of the fire was the car itself because you can see flame spilling from the car.
Yah thats just a shitty situation because the fluid leaking will never stop fueling the fire. Your pretty much screwed until what ever is leaking empties out of the tank. If I had to guess and seeing where the fire came from it looked like it was near the fuel tank. Figure an average car has between 10 and 15 gallons at any one time in the tank depending on what size it is. Thats a LOT of fuel and it'll take a lot of work to snuff it out. Other problem is that the vapors are what are burning if it is fuel...so unless you can smother it it'll just keep off gassing and igniting. The guy with the extinguisher did everything he could but its just a never ending fire that cant be extinguished.
Thank you guys for churning out the content lately
For someone who has never owned a car and is getting into driving in a society where car transport is everything what's something that be recommended to learn basic mechanic skills to one: understand how a car functions, and two: know what breaks a car to not do something, especially to know when a cheap mechanic is going to break your car or is scamming you
Unfortunately theres no quick easy answer here.
Good google searches help a lot. But knowing what to google can be as much of a challenge as finding an answer can be.
I started working on cars when i was six. Ive helped my dad, steaad, and grandpa work on cars basically all my life. I still do a google search to brush up anytime im getting under the hood to do something i havent done in a while.
Anything that requires pressure, (springs) electrical know-how, or lifting lots of weight (jacking a car up) is when its time to stop and think about what youre doing. Even if experienced. Thats how people end up headlines.
Since i brought up jacking a car up, dont trust a jack to not fail. Exoect them to. Use jack stands. Its always worth the extra time and set up.
Hondas and toyotas are gonna be cheap and reliable. Hondas are known for being hard to kill. Almost every car ive owned has been a honda and you gotta try to kill these things.
On that 350z tossing a rod, I had a buddy when I was in the Army who was very proud of his 350Z, claimed to everyone that it was built with forged pistons and rods and he could be on the rev limiter all day without damage. Needless to say, he discovered a very quick way to empty the oil pan as well as create some inspection holes in the block.
You guys are great. Thanks for making my day on a daily basis.
Fire Extinguisher come in the following classes: A (regular combustibles), B (flammable liguids), C (electrical), D (flammable/reactive metals), and K (kitchen).
Minimum fire extinguisher you would want on hand in a shop is a 2A10BC. This means it is good to cover 2000sq/ft of a class A fire and 10 sq/ft of a class B or C fire.
Never, evey use water to attempt to extinguish a flammable liquid fire - it will spread the fire as many flammable liquids have a lower specific gravity than water or are not soluable in water and/or cause an explosion from expansion of the water due to near instantaneous evaporation at high enough temperatures.
lower (average) density is the word you're looking for.
In the 80s when, in Bensonhurst Brooklyn, with our $200 cars, we had our
1. Vice Grip Shifter
2. Squeegee windshield wiper
3. Homemade license plate, my friend got busted, and cop held up both and said “guess which is the fake one ?”
4. “Mr Gasket” gasket for water pump replacement
5. Pepper for leaking rad.
And many others, one resulting in all of us doing a 5 mile walk when we broke down on the Belt Parkway.

That semi truck was pulling so much torque it flexed the frame enough to get the front left wheel off the ground. No fuckin wonder the engine blew.
Never try a push start in reverse. I've been party to that fiasco twice, neither time was starting it discussed with me beforehand. For background context I was part of a school sponsored auto club and we were building a couple of mud runners, one was a "Joker"; a late 80's chevy full size stripped down to cab, engine, and gas tank on shortened bare frame,suspension and tires. The other truck was another full size Chevy also 80's nothing stripped, this was the one involved in both our tales. Both times it wasn't turning over and we needed the stall for other cars and nobody else wanted to help me push. It was one of the times where being of a husky persuasion was a plus. First time it all went alright just a shock when the guy steering the truck while I was pushing it decided to crank it and it actually caught, I warned that if he tried it again I would hogtie him, hook him by his ankles to the back of my car and drag him until he stopped screaming. The second time was a different idiot with the same truck who wanted to see if I could do it twice. The truck lurched forward at me and died, luckily I was only knocked back instead of run over. He took off running asap and ran every time he saw me for a couple weeks after that.
So on the video at 11:55, the issue with that fire is that oil or some other flammable liquid is dripping out of the car and the fire just climbs up it. The guy with the fire extinguisher is pretty much dealing with two fires at that point that are constantly feeding each other. If he puts out the ground fire first, flaming oil will just drip back onto it. If he puts out the fire in the car, the flames from the ground will just climb back up. Only way I could think they could've dealt with that is by getting a second extinguisher to deal with the other flame so both sources are put out.
19:27 "Satan, take the wheel." 😂 That was hilarious!
FYI @ 23:35 since i guess the steering is on the left, i would say the driver is riding goofy which makes that stunt a perfectly executed manual into frontside boardslide. :D
At 19:20 , Pontiac GT I could get the year and more information from the title if needed. Putting the car at a 45 or less degree angle say going down a dirt road, if you hit a pothole loses traction for longer than the count of two. Notice the brake pedal does the exact same thing in the video until all four tires tires get traction back. The company says to fix the problem simply turn off ABS.
Ive popped a clutch at a gas pump with another car roughly 5 feet in front of me.
19:03 That's not satan, that's ABS working the opposite way 😄
It blows my mind that any time there’s a fire, nobody knows where the fire extinguishers are at!!!! Then they always shoot the flames!!!
I work at a dealership. We usually track the cause of a water leak. I have spent upwards upwards of 2 days with an entire interior taken out of a car looking for leak was coming from a hole behind a windshield that was running down the roof liner into the D piller on the passengers down the a piller on the drivers side and out off the roof console. Basically water was filling the cavity between the sheets of metal that makes up the roof. The body shop didn't repair the leak for a month. So when we got it back it stank of mold and we couldn't return it to that condition so i had to replace the fabrick everything. Seat pads and fabrick the carpeting the roof liner and the firewall dampener behind the dash. 37 hours of wearing a hasmat mask and pure suffing all under warranty
15:53 here for knowledge and wisdom that Ms. A provides for free, and how about these graphics, this channel is so fire 🔥. And so is Angie's ability to explain anything so well. You can tell she's a great teacher.
