Can u do a mechanic recommendation on cars for next vid Mechanic dream car garage too
A f%$@ing hour long? Mint👌
I’ll wait to play the irL version 👺
I'm dying to know... Did that poor girl who got herself stuck on that track prep ever reach out? lol
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 😉.
I feel like Sandro saying something is "scary and dangerous" basically means "if you touch it you will die", because we all know that he's a madman.
I'll take miss A for my friend. She so fine. 😊
I thought his name was Dacia?
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 cant believe that you guys already have over 50 episodes. It doesn't even feel like all that long ago when you started these reactions.
There is a lot of stupidity to cover on the internet...
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.
More like 46 videos and 6 shorts
Makes one wanna go back to the first video and watch the series all over again
In my mind it's still around 15 at most. Just checked their channel and it's really more than 50 and I've watched every single one of them hahahaha.. time sure flies fast
49:04 "And that's how you...take gas...from your neighbor." 😂Sandro's the best.
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.
Ang and Sandro are the perfect point/counterpoint! It’s always gold when they’re in the video. 🥇
I'm a simple man, I see them, I watch the video.
100% Agree!
Ang will tell you what actually happened, Sandro will be like yea I'll do that ^%#&&^@#$&$&%#@&%@#&%$&@%$&!!
Ang is eyecandy only
@@Morzsaszar She’s smart as hell, knows her stuff, and she’s funny. Def more than just eye candy.
I wish Sandro was my friend. Dude is straight up gold!
Don't worry, Jack. Sandro is your friend.
I wish all these folks was my friends lol
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 😂
Use to have a friend like him. He was so chill, laid back, funny, and was just genuinely a great guy to be around. I miss him like crazy
That can be... in our heads!!!😂
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.
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 ;)
I love the clip of the bucket guy, he’s like, this can’t possibly work, then he try’s it and is so wholesome, like I got my buckets back to use
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.
fr i couldnt even tell it was a compilation until i noticed that it wasnt ending,,
Putting Angelina and Sandro in the thumbnail. Donut knows what they are doing 😂
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
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.
17:42 So nice to see a father and son bonding over their interests
Haha I thought the same thing! They literally look like Father and Son. 😄❤
😂😂😂😂😂
Came here to say the same 😂
I came here to ask the same question. When I first saw it before they were both shown together, I thought he had grown a beard 😂
“We fart so we don’t shart” Quote of the year 😂
"And that's how you steal gas from your neighbor" is the runner up
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.
Love these so glad y’all made a full channel and series 👍👍🔥
Finally a timeline of how Sandro went from Guest to Family Member
And him growing facial hair 😂
😂 Sandro " I wouldn't do it again"
This is my new favorite YT channel. It combines humor and automotive insight; brilliant.
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.
(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.
08:19 Is for sure one of the Top 5 videos ever shown of this channel. That dude really did have early Bill Burr energy.
That dude is me but cursing Microsoft out as a Sys Admin. I couldn't recommend an IT career to anyone lol.
Sandro's reactions were good too
All I can think is, "Bro cut the bolt and put in a shorter one." I'm available for hire. No relevant certs.
I loved her description of a low battery. It gets drunk and makes poor decisions!
And that's why we have EVs.
Love how well u guys explain everything,awesome series guys...liked and subbed👌
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.
10:50 😂 I can totally relate to my piston rod looking at me like " WHAT DID YOU DO?!"
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
4:48 I'm sure some technophobe was also like, "That new fangled tractor won't out pull my prize mule."
The term is luddite. Not technophobe.
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.
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.
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.
34:40 That Corvette-dragster went out the same way Mercedes had their famous CLR-crashes at Le Mans.
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
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
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.
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😅
@@Makaya9swho doesn't like Ms. A!?!?!
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
Can we get a supercut of Sandro saying "for the boys"?
58:01 "Some say he likes to have a fast dinner before a race, and then he races the table. All we know is, he's called The Stig!" 🤣
Thank you guys for churning out the content lately
Wow 50 episodes already! been here since the first!
The fact that it’s an almost identical forklift to the one donut tipped is what kills me the most
“I can pull a whole stump out with this thang” lmao killed me
17:05 I didn't know James had a long-bearded clone!
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 KZhead, 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.
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 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
"Woah how many engines that guy got??" "Three in a ro-... zero- that guy has zero."
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.
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
8:40 nissan sentra tensioners are exactly the same, ive done 3 of those in my life. i loosened top motor mount, jacked up engine, hole saw drilled a 1.5 inch hole in the inner fender/subframe for access to that long 13mm bolt.
It's good to see James' dad finally in his life, lol
16:12 fart not shart 💀 she kills me 🤣
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 350z rod said "aight fellas, I'll holla at you, imma head out then"
15:35 yeah i had to figure out a gas cap solution when i converted my 5.0 ranger to carb. Simply trick for that cap was just turn it till it clicks then turn it back and it opens those valves so it wont build vacuum
This has become one of my absolute favorite channels to watch here on KZhead.... And the great thing about it is that you won't be running out of content to react to.... Cuz there's always something new posted every day...
I was about 15 minutes in before I saw this is an hour long episode 😂😂 Nice, boys. Keep cranking out the mechanic react vids
"THE ROD FLEW OUT ?!?!" "Thats dope" 😂😂
That brake pedal malfunction wasn’t satan it was Neil Peart 😂
Not Sandro hitting us with the Quesadilla!
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.
That pull-starting reminds me of an actual vintage accessory sold for aircooled VW Beetles back in the day--a pull start pulley that mounted to the generator pulley, and came with a wooden handled rope to spool on and pull just like a classic lawnmower. Of course, those little flat fours were easy enough to start like that, but you couldn't do that with a modern high-compression engine--if it is possible and not internet foolery, using a raised drive wheel to do that instead while remaining stationary would be pretty clever.
Haven’t seen Angelina in a while
Sandro should just be on all of these videos. He's the best one out of all of them.
Amazing vid as always, I'm glad you guys started on recycling, always brings a tear to my eye when a content creator goes green, keep up the good work.
Sandro is hilarious: That shit came and sat next to you and said, what’s up, what’s cracking? What are we doing?
A full hour of Angelina and Sandro... sign me up!
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
That nixie clock is really neat! I love the old nixie tubes, but most are hundreds of dollars and nowhere close to my budget. The LED one would be awesome!
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 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!
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.
For a guy who is learning to work on cars by himself i am glad to say I learn allot from you guys
Nice to see Matt and Robbie chiming in!
yo yo yo early gang where are you at? :D
this video has already been out before?
yea
It's a "best of" compilation
LOL the tape on the Axle Boot thing is actually a hack (when you still have a boot attached). I just did that yesterday on my 2013 VW Jetta 2.5L which has had a torn boot for about 6 months, and was starting to fling black grease all over the wheel well and suspension components. OBVIOUSLY i have a replacement axle sitting in my apartment, but of course, it’s VW, so i couldn’t get the axle detached from the transmission for the life of me. I tried with a pry bar for 9 hours cumulatively over the course of 2 days, and couldn’t get it out to put the new axle on. So i sprayed a rag with brake cleaner and wiped down the area, then put some gorilla tape around the tear. Hopefully it doesn’t come unstuck and wrap around my wheel while driving.
Chevy 350 in my 73 one ton spun a bearing and blew the end cap off #7 rod. The cap came out thru the oil pan, the rod came out thru the side of the block, the crank hit the rod, and it seized up and left twenty foot black stripes on the road. I pushed the clutch in and drifted onto the shoulder. I was only going about 100 miles an hour in fourth gear. I was able to salvage the heads, camshaft, oil pump, distributor, carb, intake, headers, alternator, etc. The block, crank, and pan were toast. Good thing I had another smallblock that I was in the process of rebuilding hanging on an engine stand in my garage. That was like 1985, maybe 86.
These guys are funny! I’ve seen many of these issues. Even older cars had some issues that were similar to some I’ve seen here. My theory, The less it has on it, - Is the less that can go wrong with it! I try to keep it simple.
9:23 Automotive engineers wake up from a nightmare, in a cold sweat, and run straight to their drawing boards.
“And that’s how you steal gas from your neighbor” cracked me up
I believe the red wheelie car with the airplane in the picture is a Canadian gentleman who kicks ass at a wheelie competition every year
Anyone else notice that Matt from Matt's Off Road Recovery is just Pumphrey with a beard? 😂17:25
There is no way that they are not related. They look more closely related than James and Nolan
Learned alot from this video
The leaking from the top dome light happen to me , Purchased a brand new 2021 VS Atlas back in December 2020 and it started to leak like that when it rained about a month later , took it in TWICE to VW and they ended up just replacing the whole panoramic sunroof and headliner and controls , traded it in after that, shortest time of vehicle I owned
“I can pull a whole stump out with this thing” was on point… lol
What is hilarious is that at work you "usually" fallow safety. At home people find themselves taking unnecessary risks. Don't forget your PPE, I know by experience 😂
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.
The rod on the 350Z said "Yup that's me. You're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation." 🤣
2:35 Those guys have more faith in .50 O-rings than I have in humanity.
This one was perfection 😂 😅 🤣
After watching this channel I have so much more Respect for mechanics.
I love y'all cracks n jokes to each video i can definitely relate to it us mechanics are some of the funniest smartest people out there
It's awesome that you included Joe Satriani in this video :)
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
The bolt against the frame one always gets me.
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.
Never thought I'd see an M car pull someone's car out 🤣🤣🤣
