Dont forget the pcv valve!
Big thanks for making vids like this. About to work at a Toyota dealer and was nervous but see it’s not such a big deal.
Is T-Ten worth it?
i was looking to get D9S but it have 6500mAh battery with bigger screen & that mean the battery will not last long without charging! while the D8W 10000mAh with small screen & i was disappointed! thats was really weird for me! but still D8 is a beast. Xtool nailed it with their tools awesome features & subscription & prices! i bought D8W & it's in the way. 1748
The reason I buy snap on is because they hold value very very. I was really unemployed and on top of unemployment benefits I was able to sell some snap tools and made almost $5000 can’t say that about harbor fried tool, Home Depot and other cheap brand.. that’s my reasoning, but that’s in life. I’m quality or quantity.. I don’t wear old navy, gap, shein. Everything I own is designer including my auto tube tools.
Talk about making alot of money.. use thats to fix you teeth man, I'm you get paid by youtube from views..embarrassing man,
There has to be a better way to engineer trucks to make this easier to replace
Any tips for the V6 model? Mine is a 2012.
congrats on the promotion dude!
Although I'm proud of you. I kind of missed your videos, bro. Congrats brother. I'll be praying for you.
What the hell the seal was bad on a newer car?also is it easier to pull the engine for this job?or is it super heavy with a v6?
Love to hear it!
I worked as a valet at Toyota dealership back in 2015 and after nine months of being there, I was offered a job at the lube tech unfortunately I turned it down because I didn’t feel like I was good enough at it. But I think I want to try again.
Opening up a small to medium shop OF YOUR OWN is the ONLY way being a mechanic makes any sense any longer. The business model is UPSIDE DOWN and makes no financial sense at all. Or be a mobile mechanic. AND - ONLY the young - healthy and strong can do it - and not for long. Meaning somewhere in your 40's - IF you didn't already injure yourself on the job or off the job - your back and body will start DISABLING you from even being able to do THE JOB. AND BY YOUR 50'S - you will be literally unable to do the job at all without extreme daily pain.
I have been an automotive mechanic/tech for 35 years have been there for computer control start until now and it has been tough especially here in California. My advice is to look for a different trade as cars are lasting longer, it's not like we pull cylinder heads off at 75 or 100 thousand miles and as this tech says you so much $ in your tools, I think I'm at $$$$. I have seen more guys come off the SNAP ON truck and say my wife is going to kill me !!!!
How did you get the lights too hook up? You explain it. But my wires aren’t staying inside the connector
What are your wheels specs
Biggest mistake I made was doc martens. Shredded the toes in less than 6 months
Aye just started school today as automotive school i wanna get out school work at a car dealership or oil shop and get good pay i wanna know how to be fast and sharp !
Very helpful!
seems the more the population goes up, the less they feel they should pay us because they feel they have that much more many options of people who in general need money and a job.
your guarantee was 80 hours ?!?!? WHAA ?!?!? ... yeah, about the guys who get fed... .... it's funny that they can't switch up the guy who gets fed and feed everyone fairly.
Did u clean your shoes befor, might have dirty shoes 👞
Next upgrade is a airplane mechanic
Congrats & Dame 2 1/2 year I've been watching u & how time flies
So you only get to take these Toyota certification classes once you are employed under Toyota?
Yes unless you are in the TTEN program that some schools offer.
They’re 49.99 now
Dam inflation.
Congratulations on the achievement dude. I'm old and i just got back into automotive service and repair. I'm a T-TEN drop out. I left to drive trucks. Now im on week 3 as lead tech at a pepboys. I did 3 years at Lexus. Everything is exactly the same. Same BS just what you make of it. TF's 1234yf? Lol not as fun as i remember. Real cut throat and back stabby. Wish you the all best, dude. I hope to get my car to AVS soon.
Thanks man and yea the entire industry is pretty cut throat if you ask me. Wish it wasnt this way but sadly it is. Hell yea lmk when your going out there next! Just dialed in my build today ready to get back out there.
The Harbor Freight one is an awesome box I would just suggest upsizing the wheels
Nice review.
Some interesting stories thanks gentlemen.and ladies
Hell yeah! Congrats brother! Waiting to see if get a foreman position myself so this motivates me even more
Wow, I did not know that mechanic's get paid a flat rate in the manner you spoke of.
even though i have 0 plans working at the fleet for diesel leaning more towards the industrial side ill still take it just so i can have it on file just like having cdl and epa 609
Is a cdl required?
Depends where you work, For me it wasn't required upon being hired but must have within a given timeframe after that if you want to keep your job.
So what’s the pay? 150k
How is children make you miss life? They cost money and stress. Children make you miss most of your life to do other things like freedom and travel around the world
Speaking on behalf of ppl with children, If you have em working nights = only seeing your fam on weekends which sounds horrible. I dont have kids of my own but I see the struggle of my coworkers who do.
I love night shift
What's up man been following for a while now great work as always...anyways I've done head gaskets on these and engine swaps. my last engine swap I get a P0aa6. I don't have a Toyota scan tool so i don't have the sub code to isolate the HV bleed. It's not in the HV battery because code doesn't trip Key on not ready but trips right away Key on ready in neutral which tells me its in the inverter or ac compressor. I suspect the compressor as a decent amount of water entered the motor connector. resistance (not on hybrid side) climbs to around 4 mega ohms. But AC compressor works fine. I suppose I am writing to you because you make mention in this vid about blowing out the AC compressor in the past. was it the same issue? AC working but p0aa6? next step is resistance checks on the HV side of the compressor. Anyways...any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you
Congrats brother! 🎉👏🍻
Congratulations bro ! Do you make more less money as a foreman? 🤔
A little more since you have more opportunities for overtime but the hourly pay is the same as what I was at.
Slick dick nik
2 months of using someone else’s tool lol. Cool coworker
That's no a promotion that's called being the shops b och.
naw
Real question. I have free college waiver because of my veteran disability permanent and total loan waiver. If I am able to get my education for free would you consider me to go to UTI Since it’s free? I get community college for free if I choose to go there. Don’t be bias.
If it was free I would go to UTI only cause you can complete all the courses in a year vs community college usually takes 2 years.
Utilities is the way to go. Day shifts 4/10 or 3/12. 100k to 130k
Play the video “I’m the captain now” to the other techs when you clock in as foremen for the first time
Dude should be selling ipods for living would do better than mechanic
whats an ipod?
Congrats bro, I was on second shift when I first switched to the heavy truck side for 2.5 years. I actually liked it until having a kid, was fortunate to finally switch to days. Good luck in your new position 🤙🏻
Yea I honestly didnt mind nights, I prefer to sleep in vs waking up super early lol but its for the better.
Congratulations! What a coincidence that I left the dealership life to fleet service a few months before you. Best decision ever career wise! I'm glad your advancing and enjoying what you do. I feel fleet service renewed my love for the mechanic field in seeing the fruits of my labor first hand, when I help a driver get up and running. I hope the young guys see there are other sectors in the automotive field to make a living in.
Thanks I am so glad I looked beyond just working at the dealer, I was getting pretty fed up with it and only did it for 10 years.
