Washing machine drain pump diagnostic and replacement
In this video I'll take you through the process that I went through to diagnose and replace a washing machine drain pump. As I've said in the video, I am not an expert on appliance repair. However, I've managed to successfully repair this washing machine. I hope this video helps you in the diagnosis and repair of your washing machine!
And as always, be safe, use a repair manual, verify all information given in this video, wear safety glasses.
Note: Be careful not to short the wiring or test leads to the washing machine body. If this happens then there will be a risk of electrical shock by touching the washing machine.

How to test for a blown head gasket with a block tester
!!!WARNING READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION!!!!
In this video I'll show you how to used a block tester to check for combustion gases in the cooling system. Combustion gases found in the cooling system are usually the result of either a blown head gasket, cracked head or cracked block. When these gases come into contact with the block tester fluid it causes it to turn from a blue color to a yellow color. Using a block tester is a great way to determine if you have combustion gases in the cooling system and is a great way to gain a little piece of mind about tearing down the engine to fine the leak. (Further testing will be needed to determine the exact source of the intrusion and this video does not explain how to do this)

Crankshaft position sensor replacement 08 Chysler Town and Country 3.8L
In this video I'll be showing you how to replace a crank shaft position sensor on an 08 Chrysler Town and Country 3.8L V-6. This sensor is located on the transmission bell housing just behind the engine and underneath the cross over exhaust pipe.
A faulty crank shaft position sensor can cause a not start or stall. It can also cause random misfires.
Please Note:
Your vehicle may run a little awkwardly for the first day or so after replacing this sensor and erasing the computers memory. Your power train control module has to go through what is called a "relearn process". Once the PCM has learned you vehicle should run normally.

In this video I'll be sharing some of the tips and tricks I've learned over the years for doing the rear spark plugs on a GM 3.8L series 2 V-6. These spark plugs are extremely difficult to do. Especially if the spark plugs have not been replaced in a long time. The spark plug boots tend to stick to the spark plugs increasing the difficulty of an already difficult task. The tips and tricks shown in this video should help in reducing this difficulty a bit.
Here is a video on how to gap spark plugs. Please read the description of video for further info.

Detailed explanation and demonstration of thermostat operation
In this video you will be given a detailed explanation, verbal and visual, of how a thermostat works. The purpose of the thermostat is to quickly bring the coolant up to optimal temperature. Once that temperature is reached the thermostat then regulates that temperature. This is achieved through the use of a heat motor that is built into the thermostat. The heat motor is wax pellet design and starts to open the thermostat at the thermostats temperature rating. Once the coolant is 10 degrees above the temperature rating of the thermostat the thermostat is fully opened. The thermostat opens when temperature rises and closes when temperature falls thus regulating the coolant temperature. This video also includes the disection of the thermostat for further clarity.

3.8L Coolant Elbow/Water Pump Bypass Elbow "Repair Tip"
In this video I'll be discussing the advantage of using metal coolant elbows/ water pump bypass elbows for a GM 3.8L series 2 engine. The first time I replaced these elbow I used the plastic black plastic ones like the ones the vehicle comes equiped with originally. This was a mistake as they where leaking again not very long after making that repair. If you planing on doing this project just go ahead and get the metal ones. They only cost a few bucks more and it will prevent you from having to make a repeat repair. Good luck to ya!

If you plan to do this project yourself just be careful. The MAP sensor mounts just over the valve and is easily broken. Move slowly and deliberately.

The particular vehicle that's being worked on is a 1998 Dodge Durango with a 5.2 liter V-8, but this 5.2 liter can be found in many other Dodge vehicles spanning years of production. I also get into how the tensioner is supposed to work and what to look for in a "bad" tensioner.
The torque specification for the tensioner nut is 50 ft/lbs

Money Saving Tip #2 - How To Make Your Own Mechanics Soap
In this video I'll show you how to make your own mechanics hand soap. I've used a lot of mechanics hand soap in my time and this stuff works just about as good, but cost a lot less. The recipe is 3 parts granulated sugar and 1 part dish detergent. (I prefer the blue kind). Mix the parts together and your all set. Store the remaining unused soap for future use.
Here is a link to a video showing how well this recipe works.
