The last part showing you digging yourself stuck on that hitch was hilarious. Nice repair, another "broken" part saved!

Love seeing Old Fashioned Repairs, being done. As opposed to just replacing parts. The Art of Diagnosis lives in New Hampshire!!! Thanks for posting, Robin.

Thank you Mustie for being man enough to not edit the end out...we laughed with you not at you!👍

I'm just proud of you for leaving the last clip in and showing us. I'm sorry you couldn't hear me telling you about the hitch being left in place. Dont change we always have mishaps we didn't plan. LoL Good job getting the actuator working again. Just shows you don't always have to trow parts at it. As always I enjoy watching you wrench on different projects. Keep up the great work!

Next week we get to watch Mustie fix the broken welds on his hitch receiver.

Mustie is just frickin’ amazing… I would’ve lost the brush springs when I opened it and ended up putting the whole thing in the dumpster!

You don't need four-wheel drive. Just carry a little Kubota tractor around with you.

Kind of funny, in Feb 2019 I was laying in the hospital watching your video after losing a kidney, it was car-related, not sure which one. So today I am laying in the same hospital after having had a heart attack Tuesday, and have to have a quadruple bypass tomorrow. So hopefully I'll be around to watch next week's video, lol another great video that helped pass the boredom of being in a hospital. I have to make it so I can see how the Econoline turns out! LOL seriously I love that thing.

Great old school diagnosis and fix ! I believe however, _this_ is why Mustie1 was seen in the prior video, spending time on the yellow pedal car. That was a possible backup if the Tundra repair didn't work out !

My 2005 Tacoma has the same problem. For reference, my mechanic wanted $2,500 to fix. Not sure I have the courage to tackle myself, but this wonderful video might get me over my fear. THANKS!!!!!! And thanks for the belly laugh at the gravel pile.

This is why I love your videos no big intro, no Patreon no trying to sell your subscribers on some product. Keep up the great content.Although if you did sell shirts I would buy one just saying.

Thanks Mustie1, its nice to see someone repair something instead of just replacing it. It not only saves money but waste. The land fills and e-waste sites are full. The town dump where I live is almost full and they are going to have to start sending waste out by rail car. It is going to cost a fortune to get rid of trash now. Builders can't even build houses in my area because the dump refuses to take construction debris.

I love how you show all the screws screwing in and out, all the nuts and bolts being removed. Its so informative and demonstrates wonderful editorial choices. Keep your head down, dont look at the people around you, thats the best way to live life!

That's your problem lady ! Eric O from South Main Auto would be proud of you for repairing the problem and not just loading a parts Cannon and firing that at the truck.

I love watching you tackle any kind of project. Whether you know how it works/functions before hand or not. Your ability to not get frustrated and work through figuring it out is amazing. Love your videos! Keep up the good work and videos

I love watching things being repaired instead of thrown away. Great video!

The brush install was giving me much anxiety. Almost FF through that part. I could feel it in my chest LOL. And its a good thing you do have toys to choose from lol.

Hurricane Henri ain’t stopping Mustie from putting a video out this morning. Tx for this

I was thinking when you were pulling with the Kubota that your next video will be installing a new Kubota clutch. Very funny ending. Your lift in the workshop is brilliant for jobs like this. Great fix and great video. Thanks for sharing

I would have purchased a entirely new assembly. Good on your for your persistence

All Right All Right All Right its Sunday! I have a tasty cup of coffee, a nice cigar, its my 53rd birthday and I got a new Mustie Video best present ever! Good Morning/afternoon/evening to those it applies too!

Thank you so much mustie1 I have the same truck having this issue I will definitely look into it. I really appreciate you videos I'm sure it help alot of us troubleshooting our cars.

I’m so glad you left that last clip in there. That was something I’d do! It’s good to know I’m not the only one who gets myself in a situation.

My family had the same thing that happened at the end clip happen when we were moving in. We had a big long moving truck and my dads trailer on the end and we didn't realize that it would hit so my dad gunned it to get up our steep driveway and it took some nice neighbors with a bunch of floor jacks to get it free. It's a great way to meet your neighbors. Also your videos have taught me how to work on equipment and motors, so far I've fixed at least 10 small engines. So Thank You for spending time to make these videos they are great.

It's good that you knew about the "solenoid" affect when reassembling the motor, Darren. You've obviously been down that road before in some other motor. Glad you could get it fixed.

I don't even own a Toyota and I still enjoyed watching this walk through. Thanks for sharing. Always look forward to Sunday 🌄.

Most people don't get why people like myself and you work on our own things. Right here is the best example of why you work on your own stuff.. no better feeling to be able to fix something and it did not cost you a single dollar to do to work. There's no place that if you would have taking it too that would have tear that motor down clean everything and put it back together again. Any place that charges you for working on things are just going to throw a new part at it. Excellent job I'm glad to see everything worked out.

I greatly enjoy beginning my Sunday mornings with your videos and a coffee. Super start to a super Sunday.

I love how how you fix the parts not just slapping in new ones long forgotten skill!

That lift sure has come in handy, more than paid for itself by now I would imagine.

Good for you to be able to fix this. I did basic maintainance and some repair work because early on, I didn't have money to bring my car to a shop. I didnt have a 4x4 either.. Mustie, you have the knowledge, skills, tools, faith in yourself AND the patience to go and get in there and sort it all out!! GREAT JOB! Thanks for showing us how you fixed it! You probably helped others now too!!! Way to go! !

The lift made this repair so much easier. I wouldn't want to remove the front diff actuator lying on the ground. I'm impressed that the frame repairs still look new. I've seen the video when you repaired the frame.

U know we are going in deep when Mustie switches glasses!

I love watching mustys videos, when I take on a project like this I end up breaking parts, fixing them, losing screws and having to find new ones installing it backwards, removing other parts to get it turned around, finally getting it back in at 1am only to find it was a blown fuse.

Great job, Mustie! I was/am an electric motor rewind/repair guy for 27 years and my hands were trying to reach thru the screen to help you!

I did the same thing this last winter climbing a hill around a downed tree . It is amazing how much weight a hitch can hold. As always - great video - thanks for putting the work into them!

To keep it moving free and lubed they have always told me use it a few times a year. It also could have been a grease failure after water contamination.

I love it when a plan comes together and then Darren gets stuck while playing. I like it!

This video should be a must watch for all aspiring auto mechanics. This is how it’s done. Excellent job Mustie!

You can't beat a manual Hi-Low lever rather than a button.

My Tundra did that 3 years ago. I couldn't mess with it and I replaced the part. You saved yourself $248. If my frame gets any worse, I'll hire you for the repairs.🙂 Nice work on the troubleshooting and repair, as usual. 👍

Repair Manual: "No user serviceable parts." Mustie: "Hold my beer!"

I am so grateful for this video thank you Mustie1! Just finally got around to doing this on my 04 DC Tundra and sure enough after following all these steps, I plugged it back in and the actuator is moving and I have no more blinking on the dash. There's I guess two actuators that go off because I always heard one - but now I can clearly hear the ring gear on this actuator spinning around. Just a note, I am still glad I took mine out and apart because I noticed the o-ring failed on mine, although I didn't have nearly the corrosion on my worm gear as you did. I think because the previous owner let his valve covers go bad for so long, there was oil on everything below and it seemed to have seeped into the electrical socket. I took it off and apart because I wanted to see if the oil penetrated the o-ring as well. Epic. Thanks again.

Another excellent video. Probably the most important thing you demonstrated was at the end showing pushing both wheels in the same direction to confirm that the four wheel drive was locked in. Great work as usual.

Those brushes are always so much fun ! Trying to hold them ! 👍👍👍

I kept yelling stop Mustie your catching your hitch! You didn’t hear me though. 😂

Always love coming to your channel to learn something new. Thanks for another great vid man.

Musti, every Sunday after church my husband and I sit down with our lunch and watch whatever you are fixing. I’ve learned a lot and like how you interact with us even though we don’t respond! I love the reality of your projects good and disappointing. I watch on the big screen so can’t comment just like so you get a thumbs up no matter what you’re doing. I wish you lived closer I would so much have you as a fix it friend! If you ever get to our area I would like to pick your brain for help with our projects.

Thanks for videos mustie bottoming the hitch an tractor had me laughing

Great job on the tundra I enjoyed the video I do not miss a video keep them coming and thank you for your time.

I found myself shouting words of encouragement and at times cursing as you were trying to push the motor brush back inside its housing. Getting the car stuck at the end was hilarious. Been there myself!

You are the most environmentally friendly mechanic. you rarely buy new parts. You get things done without any waste.

My fingers were actually twitching when you we’re trying to get that brush in! Lol 😂

😂😂😂😂. Darren you’re like a big kid getting stuck at the end 🤣🤣

Glad to see that you got the actuator figured out. I had a white 2005 4X4 Tundra similar to yours and it was one of the best trucks I ever owned. That machine was like a mountain goat and would climb anything! Now have a 2008 CM 4X4 that I bought new. I work from home so it only has 24,000 miles on the clock and hopefully I'll get a lot of years out of it.

Great vid Mustie, this is exactly why I am an avid fan, Finding and fixing what is really a quite simple problem! thanks, my man!

Interesting to see how those things work. Good job mate.

Watching the brush go back in was long a game of “Operation.” And who besides Musty1 did not foresee the stuck truck? You knew he would push it! Great video. Thanks.

Good job on the fix. I love it when the fix is Free, simple and somewhat easy to do.

Absolutely love your videos. I think I’ve watched every single one multiple times. Just feels like I’m workin with ya. Great work Mustie

There you go again with your little "Elf" hammer! you'd be lost with out that tool!. great job! thanks for sharing.

I was holding my breath for you while you were installing the brushes.

Success. So many people would be paying over 700 dollars for that fix. And you my sir, did it for free. I love that feeling as well.

A another great Mustie repair, fixing the broken part versus replacing the part is real talent. I always use rear end oil and grease together ,stays coated longer and better than just grease. Another great video.

Aww yeah! Hangover, coffee, and Mustie. Perfect Sunday morning.

Honestly, I wasn’t nodding off at 11:23, too much coffee this am. Thx for straightening my glasses though.

You are an excelent teacher. I have no real interest in wrencing on motors but you make the work interesting and interactive.

Saw that coming & loved it!! Thanks for the laughs! Oh, and the drive fix was great too

Yay a mustie video and about a Toyota to top it off. Awesome videos mate never stop you inspire me to keep fixing my stuff an keep me going through this covid lockdown im in

I give ya a lot of credit for tackling those automotive problems. I HATE workin' on cars I just take it to a mechanic. LOL

Eric O. level of diagnostics and repair !!! Good job !!!

Has to be right up there with one of the best video of his career !! Loved the ending 😂😂😂 Peter Pan eat your heart out 😂😂

"No parts required!" Ivan would be very proud of you! Eric "O" would have tested the circuit for powers & ground, then replaced the part. Nice video, keeping old vehicles on the road!

All it needed was a little bit of love. It's always a good day when you don't have to throw money at a new part. good save Daren. Good save. Saw that coming Hahahahaha. Its always the hitch that hangs use up! At least I gotta good laugh darren..

Best video I’ve found about this problem just bought a tundra with the same problem hopefully I can fix it for free like you 👍👍👍

That was both informative and entertaining thanks, i never miss any of your videos. Barrie Ontario.

The car lift comes in handy again, really handy this time. Basic motor and gear technology, it just does the job :-D.

The hands and patience of a surgeon when installing the brushes. Love watching your videos on a Sunday morning.

I thought we were headed for a new one when you pulled that worm gear out and everything fell apart. Great job getting put back together!!

Always interesting content. Thank you sir for bringing us along. Kindest regards from Ireland 🇮🇪

Headed to the fires in Oregon. This is a great send off. See ya in 3 weeks gents. Devils Knob Complex here we come!

Good video on an everyday ride. Especially in New Hampshire, eventually, you'll need 4 wheel drive when winter hits.

a true craftsman, repairs not replaces. he must be concerned about the enviroment and not filling trash bins. love the variety of videos

Lots of car repair channels. I enjoy watching you wrenching and figuring out the oddball stuff.

Oh! Was expecting Beetle, but here we go!

So much patience. My toys would have been out of my pram within minutes.

The ending was priceless. It's a lot of fun.........watching you have fun.

Thanks for sharing Mustie1. Look forward to your next adventure.

Such a clever bloke. I’d love to know a bit of background about mustie’s past and how he learnt the skills for this sort of stuff.

haha ! the end reminded me of highschool days stuff but without " other toys " to bail ya out :)

You have the patience of Job,I love that you repair instead of throwing new parts at it ……well done!

Mustie1, you have more fun than any two men ought to have -- and I'm glad you do. It's so much fun to watch!!!

And this is why I love the new processor 205 and locking hubs. Shifter lever forward low range backwards high range middle no range no electric no vacuum just good old mechanical physical therapy

This is a much better design than the one in my 99 Dodge Ram, it’s just a vacuum actuator that likes to spring leaks and cause my idle to go wild

Awesome video, I learn something new from you all the time! Thank you

A pretty simple repair, but the troubleshooting was the hard part. Expertly done as always. And a little comedy skit to get a smile. Brilliant!

Note so self: Gotta remember to lube the shaft to get her down on all fours ;)

Most people would have bought a new one or got one from a donor out of the salvage yard, but not Mustie1. My dad was like Mustie1. He worked on VWs and was a pretty good mechanic. He took things apart that most replaced and would usually attempt to repair them before replacement. For one thing, back in the seventies, a lot of parts were not available over the counter, another was he didn't like to spend money. He did fix many parts, but some were beyond repair.

Good job. One of your best videos and nice to see something besides boat motors and small engines..

Another Great Job. I had faith in you. Woops, I got stuck. When you had it in 4x4 mode, your drivers side wheel was not spinning. Nice to have other toys to Help you out. 😀
