It's good that you have the Prius. I will wait for what you will do to the problems you'll meet there.
Amd, you are amazing. Do you know a mechanic like yourself in the corpus Christi Texas area?
As a non mechanic, I think I'd rather attempt the timing belt/water pump than mess with all that. Have exact same van with nearly 250K miles and no major issues so far.
Amd, which do you prefer to own, a Toyota with timing belt or one with a timing chain? If one is better than the other, hiw come Toyota switches from one to the other and nit just stick with one type?
Service advantage for Honda Odyssey. Do not need to take out glass to repair upper cable. But, like the Toyota they often need repair after 100,000 miles. I miss the 2000 Odyssey I had with manual sliding doors. Worked just fine.
Thank you for posting this excellent video. I learned from you.
I respect a boss who can do everything with his own hands,Usually people who run businesses cannot distinguish a Toyota from a tractorYou can work with such a boss!And it’s not worth talking about managers at all!I'm an auto mechanic myself, so I understand what I'm saying.!
That was an excellent video. Photography was excellent too. They need you at NASA.
Wow, extremely busy. Have you ever worked this hard when you worked for dealership?
Is it possible to just disable the electric sliding door.l to avoid the issue?
would it have been easier to remove the door first?
Ah the Sienna sliding door cables. I had a 2004 Sienna for 18 years. Sold it in decent running condition engine & transmission completely original no oil burning or noticeable oil leaks. But the sliding door, not so reliable. I had the campaign done the first time the cable snapped after about 5 yrs and then it snapped again a few years later and just wasn't worth fixing after that, door still worked manually. And Yes, I really like the shop floor updates, so interesting.
Yes, love seeing what's keeping you busy
AMD love your videos. You are an absolute professional and have such integrity for your profession and yourself. Thanks, brother !
I wonder if sillicon spray would help the motor or the noise from the door, I had a very good experience with sillicon lube sprays and car door motors.
The dealer wanted 2400 each door to repair. I fixed it for 240 buck both door
I do love how professional you are AND how clean your shop is ! That's refreshing and Unusual.. Kudos! I don't do cars
but Electronic repairs, I can't work in a messy, dirty ,Cluttered area ! I would bring my car to you any time! Just don't have any toyotas though…
One of the reasons we are not interested in a mini van. Only one I’ve seen in recent years without a stupid automatic door is Chrysler. I don’t want a Chrysler. We will stick with a 4 door paid for crossover from 2015. Besides, buying anything these days isn’t worth it.
