2020 Wsp😂❗️
I didn’t look at the date, so I was expecting "HEY GUYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYS, CHRIS FIX HERE". Instead I got. "ok so today". Things have changed XD
I have a 2011 Mitsubishi endeavor and for the life of me I cannot get this tension pulley to move. I’m pulling it towards me and nothing. I’ve even loosened the pulley bolt and nothing. Anybody have any suggestions?
I have been watching your videos for a while now but have never had a socket set or wrench set. I just turned 17 today and saved up money to buy a car (BMW e39) but still don’t have tools, hopefully by Christmas I get some. just wanted to thank you chris, I have learned lots from you and hope to learn more.

What up from 2021. Nearly a 10 year old video and I’m still using it for my car!
Chris. I took your advice in one of your new videos and came to one of your old videos. You’re are right! Your editing has improved greatly. Content is still as solid as it was at the beginning, though. 🙂

Then, 249,466 miles. Now, 311,457 miles.
I’m so glad you have an alternator video for the side engine… I put Blue Devil Stop Leak (for head gasket and coolant leaks…I think my water pump is leaking and I couldn’t get a mechanic to change it…money issues).. as it was idling the alternator went out. Would you buy another alternator (put more money in it) and hope the permanent stop leak works or just junk the car Chris? Help!
Omg! So easy. I don’t need a mechanic for this. I can do it myself.
I was in my feelings when he didn’t great us with. “ HEY GUYS CHRIS FIX HERE” bring it back PLEASE
When Chris had more hair than torque..
mine is stripped. Hmmm i wonder how that happned. lol
2:30 omg no way did i see a face reveal
Chrisfix you seeing this 😳
He’s so good ,he’s showing us in this video how he can remove an alternator while surrounded by rattle snakes
Thank you for working on a dirty real world engine like we all have. I thought it was a mechanics only pervue and paid a garage 600 to replace mine. Man oh man now I feel I can replace it on my own. Thank God for your vids I feel I can follow along using an old tablet like you being there.
"There are torque specs. I don’t know what they are."
My, how things have changed.
Now I want a hummer h1 exactly like yours.
