I’m just waiting on the algorithm to pick me 🙋🏽‍♂️👨🏽‍🔧

I like Dutch

I promise you, I won’t! 🫡👨🏽‍🔧

I appreciate it brotha 😎

Good eye! I wasn’t sure from where but I knew it had to spend time up north!

@@AlexTheCarDoctor Yeah I heard you mention that in the video.

She keeps me in line, I do forget things sometimes 😩😂

Me and all parties involved ( Alex, and subscribers) to the vehicle in this vid regarding the lifters we will see you soon … real soon

What the hell is this comment thread lol

@@demetriuscaldwell6010 i’m saying, we we all will be seeing this vehicle eventually and hopefully we’ll see Alex do his thing regarding the lifter repairs

Thank you. I try to keep my spirit clean and that starts with a clean mouth

@@AlexTheCarDoctor When my dad ran his shop, and when I ran it for a few years after his retirement, we had one elderly customer in particular who’d come by almost daily just to sit and kill time. He said one reason he liked coming by even when nothing was wrong with his vehicles was because daddy and I “didn’t do all that cussing and nasty talk😂”. I wasn’t cut out to actually run a business. But I still enjoyed working on cars. So that’s why I took a job at a dealership. I love the challenge of being able to find and fix problems that other shops and dealerships couldn’t fix. Seeing a happy customer and a properly working vehicle give me a sense of accomplishment.

@@dmandman9 wow it’s nice to talk to someone that thinks like me

Thanks for watching!

I gotchu!

Thank you! Cheers!🍻

Thanks for that… I don’t be knowing. But when I see that rust, I know it’s not from GA 😂

She runs a tight ship 🫡😂😂😂

Got to respect it 😂🤣

Facts 💯

Working on it! Got 3 vids in the Que!

I’m trying to get her to do another flip video… she won’t budge.

Need to use a laser and check the alignment of the pulleys

Which one? The 3.6 or Hemi?

Yes sir the 3.6. I just bought an 06 charger with the 3.6 and it has a small lifter kn0ck. It's an old undercover cop car so it was pretty well maintained. But would to see a refresher on the matter. Thank you.

😂 please allow me to use that one 😂😂

I have a 2014 Explorer and love it. Mine has 180k on it. I fix my own stuff, and I went through it when I bought it last year. The expensive items on them to repair are water pumps, transfer cases, and catalytic converters. The 2015+ Tahoe/Suburbans are money pits.

Unless you’re talking about the 06 and under or pre DOD displacement on demand system stick to what you have or keep it ford or Lincoln

@@AlexTheCarDoctor thanks for the recommendation!

@@mph5896 water pump was replaced June 2023 due to leaking. Along with timing chains and a bunch of other parts since they were in there. Anything suspension related I do myself.

Hold on. The end of the video his wife really says it’s so bouncy after doing a suspension repair 😮. Also, at what point are you going to bring up an alignment.

Did you NOT go along with my diagnostic process in the video? I am literally talking out loud while I do my discovery. And my wife was referring to parking lot we were driving in, NOT the suspension of the truck. Alignment was taken care of. Not everything is mentioned in my videos all the time. Chill….

@@AlexTheCarDoctor I’m not trying to be a troll. I’m just showing that trying to put dirt on other shops is not the way unless they are seriously proven scammers and you have evidence. People can pick you apart just as easily if they are not just a DIY’er. I did say it is hard to keep up with your diags and why. I’ll give you I misunderstood the bumpy parking lot but that made me realize. You would need a strong left turn to get the noise on the driver side stab link, unless you’re bouncing. Stab links stop the car from rolling. You would need the left turn or the bumpy road. You started to mention it’s just the start and there are usually bigger problems. It is very odd to see one stab link snapped with no other major damage. Lastly, I Noticed you said this came back in for the trans. You said in the comment you know these GM’s have issues. You can clearly see the oil residue is above the cooler gasket. The cooler lines start at the exact point of your leak and are covered in oil worse upwards where it start which is right where the leak is. The metal line after the plastic section is wayyyyy cleaner. The biggest leak on the GM’s is the rear main seal. It is right there to leak on the filter and the lines plus its back for trans work. Again I’m coming off rude but that’s the vibe you give off straight up giving out shop names and it can be done just as easily to you. Stating the vehicle needs an alignment is one of the most important aspects for the DIY’er to understand. From now on I’m just in the comments for tips and compliments unless you go rogue and started going back alley which I doubt.

Honestly, the early 2000’s. Like 2006 and under. Any one that doesn’t have the DOD system. Unfortunately the newer ones look cooler but they give lots of problems But the older ones are more reliable.

@@AlexTheCarDoctor thanks brother.

The one in the video lol it’s back. Her transmission is now going out. 😞 but here’s my list: GM full size trucks 2015 and up (Cadillacs, suburban and Yukons) NISSANS and anything that uses Nissan CVT like Dodge and Mitsubishi Honda Odyssey’s around 2016 but could arguably be due to lack of maintenance though. The older Chevy Impalas

@@AlexTheCarDoctor because I’m looking for a car lol and doing all the research I can while watch these repair videos lol

Yes, my name is Alex! And welcome to the channel 😁

@@AlexTheCarDoctor awesome channel I love the content already! 😃

It’s like I’m damned if I do, and damned if I don’t. Some customers think I’m trying to scam if I do the courtesy inspection, and then I just got accused of not “diagnosing” the vehicle properly because I didn’t do the courtesy inspection because the engine was shot and there was no reason for me to do one so….

@@AlexTheCarDoctor I know exactly what you are talking about. It's a double edged sword.

I tried it once,I’m not a fan of dye. My method works best

My wife is very much apart of my channel as I am. She will talk and record. If you don’t like that then, this ain’t the channel for you …

@@AlexTheCarDoctorlol my bad big guy. Love your channel

I appreciate it boss. That’s my queen 👸🏾

That's nothing My friend just had to put in a rear cradle crossmember in a 9-year-old Nissan Altima! My grandparents also had a '90s Camry and the rear axle completely broke all way from the frame not due to rust but a defect I find this more in Asian Japanese vehicles than anything. I have a 7-year-old Chrysler 200 and she's mint.
