I cut off the factory clamp at the gear box. I then could put a 8mm deep socket on the fitting 1\2” drive. It came off easily. I did use kroil to help with the fitting.
This was so helpful!
No damn audio WTF
Excellent video.
Ran into the rusted coil bolt on my 2004 Runner and I need a “twisted” socket. Where can i get one?
Great content and explanation
93 f150 5.0 xlt with no rust and 96k miles. Honestly in love with my baby and I got it for $3,700 from a family friend. If you’re considering this truck, consider no more and buy that truck. You’ll love it🤘🏼
Thanks for the step by step!! Made an untimely headache in my daughter's car an easy fix. Flawless
I had to change the battery, which involved removing the driver's side tire, so it's great to know the oil change is pretty straight forward and basic. 😅 Thanks for the video.
Sneaky torque sneaky torque. Worse than transmission bolts. Great job. If I had a little more extra money I would change injectors same brand as OEM. AS a DIY person don't want to go in there again. One big bill and never again. Appreciate all your tips. That's a job and a half.
It started with disk brakes in the back then went to drum brakes
could a vent valve hose clog cause pressure to rise making it difficult to fill the tank creating a check engine light and hesitation near idle? Your awesome!
Can I adjust the alignment of my steering wheel this way?
Thank you. Now I have an idea where to start 😊. 👍
I already knew, just wanted to learn it in English.
Can anyone help me. Mine is having difficulty going up hills and does not accelerate after driving for long periods of time. Otherwise runs pretty good. It's a nissan altima 2017. Little shaking when I start it but otherwise not too bad besides issues of acceleration.
I learned how to wrench on Cummins ISBs in freightliner step vans, same engine as the dodge (albeit usually paired with an Allison transmission). I rebuilt/replaced more injection pumps on those engines than anything else because the lift pumps would go out and burn up the injection pump, the idiot drivers would never care about power loss. The only other thing on this generation of dodge truck is that there were a few lots of heater cores that were trash right from the factory, the replacement requires disassembly of the entire dash.
I live this video bc most videos shows every coming off easy np but here I do see the truth of working in a 24 yeas old
Great job. Like how you did the brakes at the same time while you were there. Putting lock+tire blue medium strength on shaft and low bot important low torque bolts very smart move. Expedition EL same basic procedure?? Thanks great video. 😎
There are 2 thermostats in the 2013 Avenger.
i love my 03 AVY.. this is my "till death do us part" vehicle
I had a 91 Nissan Maxima that i bought brand new. My co-worker at the time kept saying Nissans didn't last many miles. That Maxima SE was the one of the smoothest and best driving cars that i have owned, but just as my old co-worker said, when it hit 90,000 miles,it went into self destruct mode. Transmission, oil leaks, electrical problems like windows, transmission interlock, etc, etc. That experience soured my affinity for anything Nissan except the small trucks. Every Mechanic report i have read says they are unreliable and give big problems when they get mileage.
You guys forgot to bring up more important stuff. Accessory belt tensioner leaks OCV oil seeping Front timing cover oil seeping Never heard of the intake hoses failing 🤣 Also the misfires are very commonly coils not injectors. Valve hydraulic lash adjusters rarely ever have issues in Mazdas as long as you take care of your oil So you brought up possible issues but the ones I brought up are actually common while the ones you guys brought up are pretty rare
THANK you sooo much

Hello! I'm having problems with my 2006 Rav4, please can you help me find out what it could be? I notice that when I drive for extended periods, once the engine is warmed up, water begins to leak from the radiator, escaping through the radiator cap and also through the breather. There is also an oil leak (under the car on the right side); the oil is very clear and thin. These leaks don't occur when I drive for a short time, only after about 20 minutes of driving. I've already checked the engine oil level, but it's fine. Could you please provide some insight into what the issue might be?
Thank you!
Former Mazda6 Gen 1 owner, which came from the Ford plant. Mine, along with many others, suffered the rusted rear wheel wells, right at year 4 and 5. Their fix, only if found under warranty, was to issue you $200-$300 to go get the rust fixed by a body shop. Nobody knew about the TSB, and needless to say, you'd see just about every Mazda6 on the road with rusted wheel arches. The 2003 Yellow models looked pathetic! My mother even bought one after me and had the same problem- she liked the car so much and was going to make it her last one going into retirement- she (both my parents) paid $2000 to have the old fender/roof run clipped out and a new one installed then refinished. After that, and witnessing everyone's rusted wheel arches on the road, and how Mazda didn't really handle it- I'll never buy another Mazda.
Derecha la flecha! Rapido y sencillo, no mucho rollo. Gracias x estos videos
Too funny- what a mess.
Very helpful, thanks
What would you suggest if only the driver side vents are blowing cold air? All other vents are hot. I have an 06 330i and in Fl 🥲 help me out pls!
+@jenniferbenson7755 We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

Thank you, Sue. This video allowed me to change my daughter's oil pan on her 2010 Camry while she was in town for a work event. I ordered the 4mm wrench for the studs, 10mm ratcheting box wrench for the nut close to the frame, and exhaust gaskets to remove the exhaust (which I did before trying to take the pan off because of the video). Her car is now leak free and I was able to do it in one day by ordering everything needed ahead of time and following your instructions. Love 1A Auto videos.
Good determination and tenacity! Only suggestion- Safety Glasses when using air tools!
Can you show the name of spray can you use
Now this is how a good video is made. I love the disclaimer paragraph right at the start. No BS or theatrics, just show 'em how it's done. Nice!
The recharge is like 100 bucks. Let a professional take care of it
Thank you! In May 2024, there's a 2016 CX-5 Grand Touring for sale near me with about 150,000 miles on it. Less than $13,000 sounds good. But I wonder about reliability at this age / mileage. I will definitely mention this areas of concern to the dealer in the morning!
Good idea. I usually just create back pressure and feel for hot air
