I have to do some engine troubleshooting, so here’s the quickest way to get that troublesome engine cover off (I guess it’s the ONLY way!!)

Do you have a video on EGR replacement… The code is coming up again on my 2000 Safari for it on the tests. Van has 509,800 mi on original engine on her and this is the 3 rd one but I have time on my hands now to replace it as it is an accessible place up front. Thank you and just subscribed…

Hi Bob, Just found you yesterday and removed my 2000 Safari with ease and replaced the Infamous moisture ridden CAP / Rotor Assembly. Thanks. Next time I'll take your advice and use Delco parts. Not sure what I was thinking because I always tell the shop to use Genuine parts OEM…

What about the magic trick necessary to get that thing out from between the seats and back, it's beyond a Chinese puzzle to truly getting it out of the way making this entire video pretty worthless.

I am trying to replace coil thru doghouse. I'm having trouble getting out old one, can you help?

Pat Gentry says:

Bob you wearing Hockey Gloves, It can't be easy working while wearing Hockey Pads.
Hay do you think Mabey we should push the van into the garage?? It's going to get Cold.
Are you in Wisconsin Bob? Bob don't you have an electric screw gun? and an Electric Ratchet? You said you wanted to get it off fast.

Pat Gentry says:

Bob I have watched you fix the rust on the Astro van. I watched you solder the wires to get the door locks to work. I think this might be to bid a job for you do you agree. Oh, wait you have that new plastic crap that will keep your floor dry, so you may as well go ahead. And it should be fun to watch. Haven't seen the back of your head in a while and you haven't been hurt yet. this could take care of both of those in the one video.

Thanks Bob, I've been there many times having been driving one of these since 1995. I dread doing this every time . That main section gives me fits . Now I have a designated set of specific tools that stay in the vehicle. Ever seen a condition where a severe misfire that seems to happen when it gets real moist like rain snow or foggy weather?
