As and electrician I do enjoy the electrical trouble shooting vids but there is just something that touches my soul when you put out a big job vid like this. Thank you sir
6:40 "Usually you'll pry at it for about 10, 15 minutes and then find the bolt you forgot" Yepper, been there!!!
Likewise. Removed all 8 bolts listed in the service manual, found the other hidden, unlisted one after several minutes prying.
There's always that one more bolt/nut somewhere.
@@chrishartley1210 I'd be a liar if I said that never happened to me....
For being up in the rust belt that is the most rust free vehicle I have seen especially for its age. Good job to the owner. 🙂
I use to live in NY myself and be a tech ! The torch is usually a go to up there ! This in the rust belt who don't want rust put them in a garage for the winter and then buy a winter rat or at least own one! So nice living in the south with minimal basic rust that takes so long to occur now!
The massive fluid leaks probably helped.
Eric said he used fluid film regularly on this vehicle.
@@QBRX Yes, he did. I am going to order a case or two for my vehicles and I live in the desert.
" i was going to put a transmission in, but then i got high " i almost past out laughing 😂😂😂
A little Afroman remix haha
@@SouthMainAuto i know, i was in high school when i heard afroman, i use to listen to one of his song so much i memorized the whole first verse. the song was colt 45
@@SouthMainAuto hey young man good day I hope everything‘s going great can you give us the information where you bought the transmission and what was the cost roughly? I watch your videos I don’t say a whole lot NM disappointment third time or fourth time I said something but I would appreciate that information and by the way God bless you your family and friends and I pray to the Lord Jesus Christ to bring you lots of love peace and prosperity for your family and friends and your business and remember Jesus Christ is coming very very soon so repent if you need to and remember to stay safe . ✝️✝️✝️
I'd rather get high than Bob become my uncle!! Who knows if Bob is a good guy or not?? 🤣🤣🤣
Same here!
“I was gonna put a transmission in but then I got high” probably the best thing that’s ever been said on this channel
That’s one of the cleanest older truck I’ve seen you must be loving working on this gem
The owner is one of his fluid film customers. This is proof in the pudding at that product works!
@@JohnRodriguesPhotographer And you have to go back once a year for touch ups.
@@davide.s.9880 true. Beats the old ziebart and the natural alternative of oxidation!
i feel for you guys in the east coast rusting away :[ here in northwest canada cars are not that rusty still see mid 80s-90s vehicles driving around not rusted in half
I think I would enjoy working on cars if I had a lift and every tool. It’s really impressive how easy you make it all look. Love this little series.
I found a place about 45 minutes from me that rents lifts and tools for home gamers to use. Well worth it to save some money.
You don't need a lift or fancy tools to do these jobs
@@dopeman420 You need a lift to pull a transmission… I did exactly this job in a transmission shop for 14 yrs
It's not the tools and lift that make it look easy. It's the years spent honing his craft that makes it look easy. Give those same tools to a novice and they'll still struggle. Does a lift help? Sure, but if you're inexperienced you'll still struggle, just standing up instead of laying under a car.
@@Andy22882 Obviously Eric is one of the best mechanics on the planet. Which is why we all watch. I’m the guy who lays under my car to change an ac compressor. I was saying I would love to have the lift and the tools, And if I did I would enjoy working on cars
"Pull out fella.."
"Almost got a creamy facial there..."
SMA After Dark 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's really cool to see a shop put things back the way they were vs. "whatever". Some car owners appreciate that.
The "whatever" method drive me nuts.
Another great video with another quote that can be advice for life from Mr. O: Don't be a Dingdong.
I will never need to do such work on my cars but there is always so much small stuff in these videos that are great "all around tips" for life.
In the first video I was really amazed by how you heated up the rusted bolts from the exhaust for just a second and they came right off. Useful to know for the future when I encounter such bolts.
Came here from BigClive when he checked out one of these Astro-Lights and clones of it years ago. Your videos are more than just teaching "car-stuff".
Man it's impressive to see you whip out a big job like this so quickly while explaining things and filming. On a side note what you've been preaching about that fluid film is absolutely correct and good on these owners for being consistent with it
You should watch Precision Transmission, shows you how much is stuffed inside a transmission.
Oh yes how he disassembles those so quickly is amazing
Great series Eric, Fluid film did wonders on that Chevy. Most vehicles that old would be ready for the junk yard rotting frame cab corners etc. Thanks again Eric .Greatly appreciate your work.
I love the deep dive diag videos because I learn so much. But I get so excited to see these ol' nuts and bolts videos. We haven't had a big series like this is a while! Keep em coming!
I use old bolts with the heads cut and rounded off as alignment pins to help align and guide the trans into place. In fact I have a whole assortment of them just for that purpose to work on different vehicles etc.
Eric O, you sure do make this look easy. I helped my cousin do a rear main seal yesterday on a similar truck.
That's awesome
Much easier with a hoist and 30+ years experience.
As much as I love the diagnostic and electrical stuff, the big mechanical jobs are a nice intermission from them. Keep up the good work, love the content!
Loving this series man. Just picked up an old 2004 Silverado 4x4 for 3k. It's a project (and a major rust bucket), but it's my first pickup so I'm happy with it (I've only ever owned small 4 bangers). Just finished doing the knock sensors, fuel pump, front struts and starter today. Noticed a few chipped teeth of the flexplate, so this series is right on time. Keep it coming brother!
every time I have ever pulled one of these, I have also encouraged the owner to do the rear main seal too. you may as well do it while you are there, and only ever use the GM OEM part.
Top notch recommendation! Leaking or not...Swap it out for a Fel-pro!
@@mark98070 If it's blue, you know it's good!
Used to do this on side of house with car on ramps. I imagine a lot of others on this channel have as well. 😂
Super neat job as always, thanks for bringing us along Eric!
Love the multi part videos as we get to see more of the process. Thank you.
It's nice when you got all the tools and the lift and you're not doing that on laying on the floor or on the ground on your back lifting the transmission with a floor. Jack, I've done that. Not fun but you got all the tools and that makes a difference. Big difference. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
Love that torque converter safety. Back in the distant past I made it to the Converter badlands/ bad language a time or two until a friend suggested Duck tape. At the time we didn't have a lift only a couple of floor jacks that would lift a vehicle about 3 feet if needed. So, yeah we were lying on the floor or sitting on it putting those trannys in. Fun times!
10+ years ago I was pulling a trans out in my driveway on jack stands on a Tahoe. Door to door salesman came up to the truck and was trying to get me to switch gas companies when I was under the truck🤣. I sent them packing REAL fast.
So enjoyable to watch you work and I love your comments. When you said there's one nut on top of the transmission, I immediately thought there's also one nut under it! Bazinga!
Manual or automatic trans, you get that rush once it sets back in. Manual especially, never use the bolts to force it. Great job Eric O
I have a 4L80e in my old truck. I was very surprised that they don't use the wedged inspection covers anymore. Thanks Eric!
Great content!!! Looks like the Fluid Film has saved that Chevy .... well done Eric.
Hopefully you have better luck with Jasper. I've seen to many transmissions and engines that were junk out of the crate from them.
My mechanic put a Jasper in our 2001 Tahoe and it’s solid after 18 months.
I remember Bob Vila building a new house in 1/2 hour show. over 1 week to replace a trans. LOL great video, keep them coming they are the best. Learning a lot.
I have been a mechanic going on 5 years now with 0 training just my own knowledge of cars from TH-cam and Gas money garage stuff like that... The biggest repair ive done is probably replacing a leaf spring on a new Sierra I think it was and my rear axle on my 07 Yukon.. well the trani went out. You good sir helped me get it ready to be dropped in 5 hours. Book time is 7. THANK YOUU MUCH ♥️
As usual, a great video! Plenty of information and laughs. Thank you Mr O!
My Repair Shop in STL refers their customers to another Local Company for Transmissions, Repairing Head Gaskets and Other Major Repairs. 👍
This job looks way easier than the one I just did laying on my back in the driveway, lol
and let those among us who have never drawn an engine and transmission back together with the bolts (very, very carefully of course) cast the first stone!
Never seen anyone put in a new transmission they bought. Around here we have a very good, popular transmission shop. They can tear that tranny out, rebuild it inside top to bottom to almost bullet proof. Then, put it back in and drive it out of the shop in around 4 hours or so. Dudes are good. Last tranny I had rebuilt they put a shift kit in it so it hit a bit hard but it was totally rebuilt with everything, all the way. Even moved the trans lines off of the radiator into a separate cooler out front for me to keep it running cooler (never saw it over 190 until heavy towing my RV, but averaged around 180 or so normally. And if you felt your oats and punched the accelerator on wet pavement it would rock those tires every shift...lol. That's about all these guys do, though, so they know how to rebuild one right. Of course, they had specialty tools either bought or made to do the job...transmissions were all they did and still do. Glad I didn't have to do it. Last one I pulled was the one I destroyed in my parent's van in 1984...turbo 350. Learned my lesson on flooring it and shifting it into gear..lol. Typical teenager. Destructive until I was made to repair what I destroyed. Taught me one thing major though...take care of your autos and don't be a d*ck. Take care.
Even in fast motion I heard "mother lover" when the flashlight dropped!! 😂
Don't you just miss the days of the "drop light" that even with a rough service bulb it's blink as it hits the floor letting you know it's broke again
Ahah, @3:41, I was thinking way back in Part 1, "You dingdong! You forgot to pull the tranny dipstick before you lifted the vehicle up on the hoist" I was yelling that at the screen... oh well been there done, that, lower the car back down because I forgot to do something up top first.
when i was younger i put in 2 speed power glides with out fancy jacks. i put it in on my back. that was in the 60s
That is a job that I would not want starring me in the face. It just seems overwhelming to me at this point. Congrats to you for tackling that monster.!
You do what you got to do Eric. Never intimidated by any job on the automobile you obviously lost that emotion many years ago .That’s what makes you an ace in your prime.👍🇺🇸🛠🔧💪 nice job . Looking forward to the next one.
He talked about the Astro lights, I've got 2 Astro 40SL lights. Our son used one (without telling me he used it) to change the fuel filter on my wife's suburban and stuck it to the trans tunnel and forgot it. A day or so later, I just thought I'd lost it. Fast forward a year later, he's with me under that truck in the driveway, looks over, and IT'S STILL HANGING THERE!!!! Even knowing everywhere we've taken that truck through, it's obviously got one hell of a magnet. Plugged it in, charged it, still works great! BTW, we're the type that like driving through big rain puddles.
stuffed full of A&W and another sma video, awsome. the only guy i will watch over and over
I've been known to take my time and enjoy a job that I like, it still gets done ahead of schedule and I enjoyed doing it
I've done that on Jack stands laying on my back. Much better on the hoist.
Even when I'm not gaining a new experience, it's still entertaining to see someone else's methods, pointers, and advice.
At 7:51 on this video, did I hear a naughty word? Maybe I was hearing things, but it sounded like a word that rhymes with duck...
Whatever, he's the coolest mechanic on TH-cam... yeah 👍
Hey Mr. O. I know why you weren’t chatty on the tear out video yesterday. You were waiting to hear all about it when you got home cause Mom told you “wait till your Father gets home!” That made me a little quieter too back in the day! But still love the reminiscing you throw out It usually hits a note with me. Thanks for the memories! You are awesome fella!
Eric O. You sir are comedy gold every video I watch you manage to make me bust out laughing 😂
🙃you make me want to rip my truck apart and put it back together lol you make it look so easy 🙃
"you get pissed off and it comes right out" preach that gospel Eric!
You sir get a like for the line flush alone!!!!!!!!!!!
I just finished installing mine . Have a old scissor lift style transmission jack. It was a challenge to get the dowle pins in while rolling around of the ground. But tomorrow morning some new u joints going in and she will live again!
Never tell your mechanic that you're going on vacation and not to worry about when to get it done.
😂
His plane landed two hours after I finished it haha. Just had it all warmed up and ready to go. Give me a break he was only gone three weeks!
It is refreshing to see a tech that puts everything back as it was removed. I have done a few in my younger days and have cobbled back together a few times. LOL
Love the content. After slogging in my shop for 9 hours it's funny how I come home to watch you slog in your shop!
I can't believe you ran your dirty air through those clean lines!
Love ya Mr O!
TY Eric, I enjoyed the conclusion to the transmission replacement. Glad it went super smooth for you but with your many years of doing them I would expect nothing less from you mate. Well done i am sure your customer will be happy., as from seeing so many falling apart with rust he seems to have kept it looking fairly good
Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘👍👍
Good video as always going pretty smooth being a Clean Undercarriage Eric O @South Main Auto Repair LLC
Boy the fluid film (FF) (as you mention) really has doe a great job. I am rather surprised that the trans failed, with the level of maintenance effort this customer puts in. I live in the frozen wasteland of MI. and only found FF two years ago, sure wish I had found it a lot earlier. Great videos, always enjoyable. Thanks.
In the early 1980s I used to build automatic transmissions. I also did remove and replace when needed on the floor…And was pretty good at it. One day my boss was telling me about how he was able to remove an aluminum powerglide transmission out of an early 60s Chevy in 11 minutes. So I told him I was going to take him up on the challenge. The next time we had an early 60s car Chevy car come in that had an aluminum powerglide transmission I was able to remove it in nine minutes. Bolts were flying everywhere. He was pissed afterwards. Haha
I got a 1996 C3500 that could probably use a 4L80E ... But man oh man, I'd never get that done on the ground at my age! lol You make it look easy peasy!
I'll keep nursing the ole blister along 'till she won't go any more. 150K on it and still hammering along at 11.2 mpg! lol
I'd love to know more about that Mobile 1 ATF... The rebuilder thinks a lot of it if they insist on it for warranty purposes.
Nothing better than having "Because I Got High" as your work sing-along.
"Ya gotta put them back so you're not a dirtbag." Super quote, going to use that at work.
I rarely have to work with my arms up above my head, but when I do it becomes tiresome quickly.. I’d imagine someone like you that has to do it often it doesn’t affect you much
I'm glad Eric found the other nut. You don't wanna lose those!
Milk it all you want Eric; we’ll be here for Part 3!
Great educational videos!..awesome honest mechanic!..your comedic comic commentary is second to none!
You’re the fastest socket in the northeast Mr O. You’ve got that transmission in and secured while I world still be looking for the peroxide and bandaids from knocking the hide off all 8 knuckles,
i appreciate your honesty and hopefully you know we all learn from the videos even if we have done it before. Keep making the videos and I'll keep watching!
Hope Eric gives us a test drive! Chevy! Thunder!
You make it look so easy but that’s the power of editing lol
I should be commenting more. Hi Mr.O and family. I’m from Missouri. Have always worked on my own cars keeping them going over the years. I have been following and watching for about 5 years now. Have learned so so much from watching you. From simple procedure to inspiring me to want to learn more about electrical diagnostic. Very entertaining to watch you work. Natural teacher. I wish I was your customer!!!! Wishing your family good health and fortune. Can’t wait to see the next rust bucket!
Step 1 battery
Step 2 lift the vehicle
EDITED step 2. Remove dipstick !!!!!!
I love my job 33 years of turning and burning its just nuts and bolts AWSOME
Damn! Nice to have a lift and transmission jack! I never had it that good
🙂
It's great to see real mechanic at work. Oh and I could not do it!
How I yearn for a lift and a transmission jack. Bench pressed many in, had a few drop on my face 😅
You are like a well liked doctor, you have a lot of patience😂
I luv listening to your comments..Schnug and other NYr lingo....
Can't wait for part 3. Thanks!
I presumed it would take more work and time than shown. That was a big job. I hope SMA replaces a 4L30E transmission someday.
Every time you say "push, push, push" I think of the Twilight episode and the boss yelling push, push, push Williams. I use lines from tv shows all the time. People usually just give me a funny look when I do it.
At the dealership I’m at we have a hydraulic table you hook the air hose up to it and lift it right up to the motor or tranny or both usually you gotta stick a couple blocks on it to balance it but it makes life easier to move it around
amazing, seeing what all you must do to R&R the trans
Trust or trussed issues? (Given the age of your viewers?) Lol. Thanks Mr O - always fun to watch. Can't wait for the finale!
As you probably know there's a little gasket on that aux oil cooler block off. They all leak but it's only a $5 part to fix it up. Nice video!
I did this job on my 99 Suburban in my driveway. One problen was the truck wasn't high enough to get the bell housing out from underneath. Plus - I rebuilt the tranny myself. Sun gear busted- no reverse.
MOTHER ! That was actually very interesting. Very Thorough. Great work boss.
Awesome job Eric! Got one question " Does Jasper Transmission test those transmissions out before they ship them out?"
Yes they are all live run tested.
so much more fun to watch u do it, what a pita it must be, thanks for posting
Many many years ago i did a tranny in a chevy with the SB 350 and on the install I failed to get the wiring harness that use to run along the back of the engine block out of the way and pinched it in the bell housing and cracked the case, was a learning experience as I had to, with no experience, transfer all the internals from the cracked case to a new case, was 16 or 17 so this was back in the mid 80's, doesn't look a whole lot different after all these years.
Eric, I know that you know what you are doing but a lot people (DIY'ers) can completely screw up when it comes to torque converter/pump spacing. I've seen a lot of tranny pumps wiped out from the converter hub being spaced too far in (bottoming out inside the pump body) or too far out (barely grabbing the pump gear lugs). Can't wait to see the finale!
What do you mean by torque converter spacing? It is not adjustable, correct?
its like Eric o knows when i get off work and need to relax with one of his videos, thanks
For a second there I was thinking you were trying to make it sound hard to do.
Most of us know the hardest part of this is when you go to start the engine and expect it to work and it doesn't! They forgot to put the linkage on inside or one of the check balls got overlooked inside.
Eric, you are crazy fast. You don’t get paid enough!
Never had to much success with Jasper trans, stayed with a local re-builder. But everyone has there own opinion.
Jjust wondering if you checked converter/flywheel end-play. Precision Transmission (I'm sure you know who I mean) puts a lot of stock in checking and correcting this to improve converter/pump drive engagement.
Great job you make it look so easy the creamy facial comment killed me 😆 🤣
Thank you for the video very professional and informative wish me luck gonna go install me a trans and transfer case and exhaust in my ride I pray all goes well and I create a monster in a good way lol😊
Eric,
Great video. Silent Eric or yakkity Eric - love you either way man!
