well done sir
Juss a question sir I have a 2022 Ram 1500 my back driver side door won’t lock or unlock I have to manually lock and unlock it now I know u said it may work for the 20s vehicles but anyway this won’t mess up my computer or anything like that correct?
@@lilfella8955 is your vehicle not under warranty?
@@unclemarksdiyauto no sir unfortunately
@@unclemarksdiyauto everything else works Juss doesn’t lock or unlock I can roll windows down and all that
I imagine filling up the overflow and driving it might suck it back in faster as it heats up, at the same time the car is going over bumps.
@@davidbachy5627 Sorry it won’t. If you did hope that worked, it can’t suck the fluid fast enough. The engine will overheat and bye bye engine. It’s so easy to get an air pocket as well. Lots of fun but not impossible to do with the coolant funnel.
Thats not the same of my 2011 200

Thanks Dad showed me how to do that 65 years ago will never forget.
@@k9under good to know. Many folks don’t know their is a filter and many don’t know the engine oils should be changed every 50 hours of run time.
Changed my water pump and it’s only leaking from thermostat housing area that needs a gasket right now the housing part ?
@@Therollupstand_ Hard to tell from here. Can’t hurt though. I believe my problem is the timing chain cover gasket. Usually they run coolant through passages in there. Will have to check.
A condition for hire at Chevrolet Engineering should be to make them all have to work on their own designs annually.

@@unclemarksdiyauto I will try the thing in the video but do I need those small cables or can I just put them together for a few hours?
There is another option. Buy a portable external blu-ray player for your computer and software that will play blu-rays. Plug your computer into the TV/monitor with the HDMI cable. Pop in a region B disc, allow the player to "Switch" regions and leave it only for Region B discs. I labeled mine and never switch it. Yes this is a "pay" process, but it works too. Usually you can get these external players cheap. I am amazed you discovered this way around the lock coding. Bravo!
@@SolitaryWolf I just bought a region free 4k BluRay player. (Since I wanted to upgrade anyways. Now I can buy any region. Thanks for your idea though. I am sure many will appreciate your suggestion.
The other pin on that is on the back of the new light hooks up to the front mirror light if you install one
@@LewyMessy That’s what I was figuring g! Thanks for the info. At the time of replying to you, the new aftermarket lights now have some LEDs not working.

@@inquisitvem6723 Manitoba Canada. Poplar tree fuzz.
Thanks for the advice man but it is much easier if you open the hood and switch it from the top of the transmission
@@jesserowland6936 Maybe easier, but more dangerous. Start vehicle, and better have a good parking brake as you step out to put it into reverse, back in car, brake off, then move it out of driveway, parking brake back on, get out, open hood, put into drive, get back, brake off, and go. Plus you would have to disconnect the cable from the top of the transmission. Also, if on a bit of an incline, it maybe hard to get it out of park. I would suggest if you’re having issues with your shift, get it fixed ASAP.

Hey, in case you don’t have a nice torque wrench like that, the formula for conversion to use ft lbs is: foot pounds = inch pounds divided by 12 (for every 1 ft pound there is 12 inches) So basically you’ll need 8.83 ft lbs for this.
@@treshaunejimmerson4033 most ft lb torque wrenches start at 30-50 ft pounds. Even if they started at 10 ft lbs, I am not sure how accurate a cheap wrench would be.
I’m not exactly sure how to test the accuracy of the one I happen to have. It’s a Pittsburgh 5-80 ft lbs torque wrench. Do you think I should trust it??
@@treshaunejimmerson4033 Not sure what to say. If you have done the job already, it has to be more accurate than trying to hand tighten without this tool.
That is a mid sixties International Harvester.
@@Rick_Kn Yes to the truck, just a little bit older though! Thanks for playing along, Rick
A 20 ounce bottle of coke would have fixed that. Soak the Box in Coke overnight. Dry everything off and brush out everything with a soft bristle brush. That corrosion would have been gone. Then coat everything in electronics grease and put back together. But brush off the other side of circuit board too.
@@larrymohawk631 it may have been worth a shot! It was melted pretty bad. Not worth a chance on a break down later on for how cheap I was able to buy the replacement for. Thanks for stopping by, Larry.
Does this work on all cars?
@@ronaldwenrich8117 I do not know. It is worth a shot as long as your vehicle does not require battery reprogramming/relearning.
@@unclemarksdiyauto How would a person know if the battery needs reprogramming and relearning? Are you saying, DON'T connect the two battery cables together if it needs reprogramming which would require a dealer visit?

No cleaners. Wash at least twice a year. Do “not” press hard on the fins if picking stuff off or using a vacuum or soft bristled brush. Clean inside out. Make absolutely sure the motor does “not” get wet. At all. Let outside unit dry completely using a battery operated but weak blowing blower before to wash it off and after to speed up the drying process. It must be completely dry or the water can get fan motor wet and cause problems down the road. Cover or keep covers “on” the electrical parts outside of fin areas. They cannot get wet. Use only hose pressure. Do not use your thumb/finger to increase hose pressure. You could bend the fins and you’ve just defeated the purpose of cleaning it. Be safe. Don’t use cleaners. Cleaners that claim to be rinsed off by condensation is not wise or smart. Just because they say they don’t damage things doesn’t mean they won’t. If you choose to use a cleaner you must rinse several times and at least twice after “all” suds appear to be gone. No residual cleaner shall be on fins after rinsing. The more you rinse the better. I never use cleaners and mine is 20-25 years old and I’ve only had to change one capacitor. I will not mention the brand. Don’t ask. It’s more about preventive maintenance inside and out. Get pleated filters for your inside unit. They have more filter area and can catch small particles. They say replace them every 3 months. They’re expensive, I know. Wanna replace your a/c? Try to replace them every month, even if you can see through them. For many reasons. Be smart. Be diligent. Be wise. Learn what you can, where you can, when you can. Use your phone to take pictures of the most easy things to remember. You may not remember and find yourself up a creek without an a/c. You have more than enough info on this thread, as a whole. Not just in my comment. I suggest you “trust but verify”. You might be glad you did. None of this is manufacturer specific. If you want to do it right, you must be smart, intelligent, vigilant use everything at your disposal and use them “properly”. You don’t need expensive tools. Be patient and thorough. It will take more time than you think or may appear. If only washing twice, do so in early spring and early fall. I suggest, if you have grass right next to the a/c, kill it, rinse off your outside unit as instructed and make sure nothing ever grows/blocks around your outside unit. Even if it’s sitting on something that raises your unit above ground. I suggest a minimum of 12” around entire unit. A small amount of grass/weeds can be killed with weed and grass killer and left alone. Never put anything around it to hide the “eye sore”. It needs room to “breathe”. This may seem like a lot. It’s not. Just be careful. You’ll get quicker (not faster) as you get used to doing it and find a routine that works best for you. No short cuts.
@@NineToes19 Long comment. Thanks. One thing I must mention about your comment about having everything dry before letting this run. This is outside. It gets wet! Actually it gets soaked. And if humidity is high or temp is hot in house, this unit turns on no matter if it’s raining outside or not. (Just a thought) Thanks for stopping by!
@@unclemarksdiyauto Agreed. I just wanted to make sure people doing this for the first few times were extra careful and safe.
@@NineToes19 Yes! Good suggestion for sure. Don't be rough, be gentle. These fins bend just by looking at them!
