Thanks, Eric. You make driving that old truck enjoyable again. I can always count on you and Josh to keep my vehicles operating as designed. My old Dakota is used in my part-time gig serving our three county Flood Warning System climate and river stations. 😊
I always viewed the metric vs imperial as two different perspectives. Metric: the man as it relates to nature; imperial: nature as it relates to man. For so many things, especially science and automotive stuff, the metric system is phenomenal. But when you're eyeballing something or explaining something to someone that isn't accustomed to measurements, then the imperial system all of the sudden makes sense. How high is the ceiling…. about 9 feet… say that to most anyone anywhere and they can get it. Please trim two finger widths from my hair.. 2 inches, you've got it. 100 is really hot and 0 is really cold as it relates to me. In Celsius 0 is very cold and 100 is intangibly hot, to me… but not to nature. Fractions, though… yeah.. that's gotta go.
Zero is cold and 100 is hot in Fahrenheit too
The W. Bush administration was keen on moving manufacturing to china. They gave special tax incentives to the companies and the LBO firms to make the migration.
👍
Had a 2003 Durango with the 4.7. Got 360K miles out of it – never had a head off. Replaced all the accessories, Water Pump, A/c Compressor, Alternator and PS pump over the lifetime of the vehicle. Engine purred right along until the driver side seat belt locked.
I am curious to why you are using the 401 instead of the 498 air hammer? Will you continue to use both and only use each one in specific situations? I am not a mechanic so I am trying to understand the point of owning/using both.
I have a pot of Folger Columbian coffee every morning
I agree 100% with you on the metric system..I believe it’s because a politician doesn’t want to be the bad guy pushing it or something….
If the compressor was still good, a Maxsam replacement clutch kit could have been an option .. in this case, with the good access, done in place, without removing the compressor.
Because you still need a SAE ratchet to drive those metric sockets! LOL
Folgers Black Silk is really good
Loved the trick with the gallon jug, I don't think I'll ever get to use it though as Gallon Jugs are very few and far between here in the UK, what with the metric system an` all. Thanks though !
If God wanted us to be on the metric system, there would have been 10 deciples, not 8. 🤔
Experience makes things look easy.
I have never seen the jug and screw driver trick, but F I'm only 70 and never been a mechanic, and I don't think, I have ever opened the hood of my truck, ok maybe I am losing my memory. Get well Eric O from the Peoples Republic of California.
I drink a cup of Folgers dark roast every morning!
The U.S. Congress authorized the use of the metric system in 1866. There were improvements and revisions to the system up through 1960. And probably more after.
The Metric Conversion Act of 1975 is an Act of Congress. But was completely voluntary.
Executive Order 12770 July 25, 1991 made the metric system the preferred system of weights and measures for United States.
The resistance to flipping completely is strange. Many industries in the US use metric but make conversions to non-metric for consumers.
Depending on context, I use both.
I think that one bolt had 18 and 1/2 fig newton's of torque. Good job.
I've used The Screwdriver of Truth for years. I'll now have to switch to The Megaphone of Destruction!
😂 Watching this video with my cup of Folgers instant coffee. I don’t usually drink instant, and if I do, it is rarely Folgers, but that is how the Lord worked it on this snow covered morning.
Folgers ,,,,everyday:)
Well Eric, here in America we use the English measuring system because America used to be an English colony. Metric system was created by a French scientist in the 1500's
Had an '02 just like this, and I still miss it. Basically gave it to my brother at 200k and it's still running around being driven by my nephew. Around 150k I had to replace the waterpump, alternator, and left front wheel bearing, but otherwise just normal maintenance – many Toyota trucks wish they were as reliable.
I have 4.7 so good to see I live in Florida so the systems you repaired this this I’m sure I’ll end up doing
84° in January?
China is wasting lots of money painting the mountains, it's not going well over there.
On the count of 3……or 4….
Thanks Eric excellent video as per normal 👍
