Car Fix DIY Videos

A little while ago, I bought a little truck for my wife – a 2001 GMC Yukon that was in very nice condition. She really likes the truck, but it lacks one thing she really desires: A remote starter to warm it up before driving in winter.

So, hearing that, our 22 yr. old grandson did some research and determined a remote starter kit that should work for her vehicle. I then went to the place where it was sold and the proprietor told me he could not, in good conscience, sell that kit to me. He then proceeded to give me a bunch of reasons – saying I would need to purchase an expensive diagnostic module and obtain a vehicle code to bypass the security system and that the install was so tricky, only a trained technician would be able to accomplish it… a task that would cost an extra $300 or $400 to do!

Well, grandson heard that and called b.s., saying he could figure out a way to install it. So I went and ordered the unit from Amazon. We figured that, if it arrived in time, it would make a real nice Christmas present.

Once I received the kit in the mail he came over, late last night (day before Christmas Eve) and began work on it. I think he started at about midnight.

And he did get it done… by 6:00 o’clock Christmas Eve morning! Pretty determined young man he is…

Not only did he get it installed, but before he left, he handed me the video camera I use for my YouTube work, saying he had made a video of the secrets to how the install was done; figuring it might be something beneficial for the channel.

I looked at the video he made this morning and, dog gone, it’s good! So I edited it and added subtitles. This is it.
