2091 lol they are making them ahead of time lol…it will prob. be called
exploration by then:) 2001 very good vehicle thx for the smile!
Thx, other than helping with my starter prob. I lmao with the safety
glasses… very motivational vid. you got.
Great commentary 🙂
Gracias
Thank you so much for the tutorial! I almost had to remove the alternator
in my wife’s van (it’s showing its age!), when a mechanic friend of mine
told me to whack the starter with a hammer to see if it turns over. I did,
and the van fired up. So, what I have to do is remove the starter and take
it to my son’s job at AutoZone to test it. It could be the solenoids. It
could be the starter itself. I won’t know until they test it. Now, I just
have to get it out first. 🙂
lol bolted on my “thor” hahaha
I have a problem with my starter and I am not a mechanic.This video cracked
me up with the comments about dirt,weeds and dog shit.That is the way it
always happens,not the clean garage floor and the clean clothes.Right on
dude. Thanks for being human.
Very well done. and entertaining
My favorite Sarcastic line: 2:25 thru 2:38….Classic!!!…..Awesome!!
@Subfightr, good video man! Helped me out with my Jeep cherokee! 5 starts!
you haven’t really worked on a car if you haven’t had rust in your eye.
@Zug75 It couldnt hurt removing it, the starter should not move though.
Some starters do have “shims” like washers all stacked up to make the
starter fit correctly, that may be an issue, The starter falls out a bit?!
Are the threads stripped? You could get a product called “locktight”, small
tube bout 3 bucks, put it on the threads and that SHOULD prevent the
starter from backing out if its due to the threads.
very fuckn funny. if something goes wrong with my car ill look for your
video good sir thank you .
Lol love all the safety tips thanks:)
Love this! Going to replace in my 2091 expedition! Love the wrench! Thanks
for posting this great video!
@Subfightr Fingers crossed mate…I’ll manage
Thanks for the introduction to a new tool. I have been in those tight
spaces and needed something like that tool. I am off to get one now since I
have to remove my starter/solenoid today, and it is under the engine in a
tight space. How sweet it is!
Nice ratchet!
@askmomshesright Yeah I was surprised how stuck the nut was on top of the
wire. The tool I used to remove it is called a “ratcheting wrench” but a
normal wrench will do, this will just save some time, though it is a tad
fatter than your average wrench so it does not fit in places like the
normal wrench will. As you see I had to strike the wrench to break the nut
free. Try adding a pipe to the wrench for leverage, or link another wrench
on if you don’t have a pipe to fit over the wrench.
hahaha 2.25
HAHA! 6:37 That’s what she said!
@0verdose666 Awesome! Glad to help. Thanks for saying thanks 🙂
You rock 😉
Very informative. And when you add that sense of humor, it encourages
others to get in there and get dirty . Thanks
I just sat here drinking beer watching you work for ten minutes, I guess
you could call me your supervisor. lol. if I ever get a 1974 van with a
busted starter I’ll revisit this video. for real though…cant you get the
starter rebuilt?
finally a “how to” video that is actually informitive. as far as working on
cars goes, i’m a dumbass. i actually learned something here, and was
sucessful. thank you for your help!!!
well here goes, gonna go do my windstar…. ugh
@TwentyCharacterLimit : Thank you so much for your comment. I hope it
helps. GOOD LUCK! You can do it.
hahaha he said bust this nut!!
@hawktb9 damn newer cars. I know what you mean, I swear they do that just
to piss us shade tree mechanics off. I can see the designers of the cars
laughing as they draw up the blue prints now “LOL hey Joe! Look where I put
the starter! It will take them twice as long! WA HA HA!!” … 🙁 Good luck
with that starter/solenoid man. Good for you for doing it yourself! 🙂
Awesome video
dude, i think thor tightens every bolt on the starters, he did on mine XD
Ha I was working under my explorerlike 5 years ago and didn’t wear eye
protection and I swear I still got some piece of crap stuck in my eye to
this day wear protection people its a no brainer
I think I love you.
you just saved my vacation! Thank you! 🙂
@Aztech355 Glad you liked it 🙂
excellent video
mine is a 1999 chevy lumina and it makes a loud grinding noise? could i
remove it and put it back on cuz i almost got into a wreak on the left
front side my headlight is smashed and the hit mit have took out the
starter a little bit and every time i use it i falls out a bit till it
can’t work i think so i mite need to be placed in further to connect is
that right??? rite bac thks ill subscribe 🙂
@runswimsc thank you for taking the time to comment and kind words
Absolutely Marvelous Info Subfightr…Thanks…..I Can Do This! lol!
“Originally put on by Thor” LOLED so HARD I know what you mean man.
Thanks for the vid
Thank you for this video! You cracked me up and you helped me fix my van!
The only part that you didn’t chat about was a special little wire that I
had to strip and clamp back to the battery. I got that figured out with a
little help from a “phone a friend” (i.e. my dad) and it is fixed. I
skipped the dog shit though! 😉
@whatonewhichtwo Thank you very much friend 🙂
I like videos like yours, useful, practical. Good decision to make it.
Core: valuable metals that are inside certain parts (copper in alternators
etc.,) that they use to refurbish non-working parts into working parts that
they will sell you at full price of a new factory made part
@Slapnuts6931 🙂 You mean a re-manned/rebuilt starter? Or actually take
that starter in and have it rebuilt/rebuild it yourself? I assume you can,
I have never tried it, in fact this is the first time I actually bought a
new/re-manufactured one ($50), I normally just rip one from another vehicle
in a wrecking yard then have it tested for free to make sure it’s good.
Thanks for watching and commenting bro, means a lot to me, I like you.
hmm, my car–98 gmc suburban–doesn’t make a grinding noise, it makes a
clicking noise (one click) and nothing else. thanks for the info!
@MichaelCasanovaMusic YAY!! Way to go on changing your own starter!
Congrats.
Thanks so much for the video I was stuck with starter problem it just
clicked once and then wont spin at all to start the car, I disconnected the
connectors cleaned them and it was all good aft3r that.
