But it is Duct Tape on a Duct??
You can buy those battery post and connector at any auto parts store and battery places
You need either a knife sharpener or a new knife Ray
have seen both of the battery spray products at the Walmarts
Water poured on to battery can short it out ,,,bad practice
Those notches in the air tube are called "buenos notches".
Does every car in Florida have loose battery terminals?
A job for a whizz kid…make replacement bellow sections on a 3D printer?
my daughters bf had one of these and he had to remove the batt cable to keep the panic alarm from going off in the middle of the night by itself
Easily one of my favorite YouTube channels. Keep it up man
Good vocabulary.
Junk yard frankenstine a chevy tube on it i noticed each edge had clamps so a frankenstine tube could be used using the old outter parts and clamps
Duct tape didn’t fix the problem? Lies. Duct tape fixed everything.
Canada the great white north? Nah! More like Upper USA!
The junkyard has them I would of called there and got that piece the vehicle is old enough to have them there because waiting a week is crazy
the ducttape on the air intake might have been done to drive it to the shop.
you should tell us the cost of the new parts you put on cars, so we can all be shocked together.
Self amalgamating tape works wonders on rubber intake boots, especially if they're bloody expensive.
They are really getting cheap with battery connections. A friend once worked at Honda and said every year parts got flimsier and cheaper.
Those were the days when no computers controlled engines. My old 72 Pontiac Catalina only required spark plugs and oil changes that rarely happens. Now much more to go wrong but they still have 4 wheels and move so they don’t do a lot of extras for all the complexities
I’m binge watching these videos you produce. Car repairs never been so interesting
It seems like every time I work on a vehicle there's something "negating my efforts" LOL.
Now if you have watched the red green show they would disagree. Duck tape is king. There's nothing that can't be fixed with duck tape. If the women don't find you handsome they should at least find you handy. Saying from red green show.
If I was designing an intake, I would not put the MAF on that side of the flex duct. I would put it on the other side like other auto manufacturers do. It is on the side of a replaceable item called the air filter. That duct is going to get a lot of activity. If the MAF was on the other side, there would not be an issue with duct tape.
Run a vacuum test first
You can buy the battery cleaner and protector he used at autozone
Is this the same dealership that you left some time back?
I know that this is USA and not Northern Europe, but still:
Sometimes, USA is just so different from Europe.
I like to know about the differences and the similarities.
What happens to the oil spills from cars, the chemicals you use and what do I know?
Do you have a drain in the floor that collects all chemical residues in a tank or is it all led to the sewer?

Hi. These are always helpful videos. What is that spray called that you use to clean oil and grease off of the underside of the vehicles you work on? Thank you!
I use a small garden sprayer full of water and baking soda to clean terminals. To protect them after I spray them with paint. Works a treat.
I cannot wait to watch the rest of this saga. The same thing happened to me with my daughter's Sentra. I did plugs and coil boots, had to take the intake off, including the hose/box assembly. I must've torn the hose a bit in removal, or else it was just old (2008). It had a crack in the accordion, about 2 inches long. I tried the duct tape method and after getting everything back together. It ran like total crap backing it out of the garage. I thought I'd mis-installed a plug or coil, so I tore everything back apart, re-checked and re-assembled. Finally figured out it was the air/vacuum leak with the duct taped hose. Those things are not as cheap as I'd imagined they'd be, although this was a OTC part at the local store and I'm used to ordering from RA most of the time.
I dont mean this to be rude im just curious how it is your aloud to film while your work, i guess it just doesn't slow productivity and so your boss doesn't care?
Funny you would suggest buying battery terminal cleaner,brought one earlier this week,$10.00au
The ford escapes are a horrible vehicle i bought one it was 2010 the damn thing was a lemon it was almost like a bonus project ford took on and the engineers made one hell of a bad vehicle
Those are sold are Walmart
I've used rtv sealant on those intake tubes before to get by until I got a new one.
And crc has 2 different intake cleaners 1 you can use on both the other only on 1 ….i emailed them to ask 😂
I make so much money on Ford Escapes, highly recommended vehicle for all my customers! 😉
if people don't know what they are doing they should leave things alone the fools
Watched a few videos and the only thought that's going through my head is
"Fuck Me!, I thought over here the other side of the pond we could be bad but Holy shit….."
Most of the repairs you gotta deal with, here in the UK? Well let's just say their annual MOT test (required for cars over 3 years old by law) would be full of failure points… how you haven't had a meltdown on someone being irresponsible as hell I have no idea. Keep up the awesome videos dude!
Duct tape fixed mine! lol…But then I used a whole roll X'D
Seeing as we are hurtling towards third world country. You may wish to step up your game by learning to craft needed parts.
Let's Go Brandon
Do you live in KC?
It's great how you are ready to tackle most jobs. Gives me more confidence to just start or research repairs to see if I'd be able to complete some of my own. I do work on a 63 Mercury and a 55 Pontiac
“SHE” sounds like a sweetheart!
We helped a customer with a Emission Tube that was leaking on a Sunday afternoon at our shop using a HVAC Duct Elbow & Aluminum tape as a temporary fix until we could order the proper part…it worked!..
My 2008 Ford Escape had the same problem except for the duct tape mod. I deleted the whole airbox setup and put an aftermarket ram air intake instead.
