I almost never trust new parts now. I can't tell how many bad parts I've gotten straight out of the box, including reputable companies like Denso.

I remember changing a water pump on my old 85 Toyota pickup 3 times. First two jobber parts were trash. Finally shelled out for oem Toyota, and everything was working as it should.

Dig into oil filters. No back drain stop, no pressure relief, etc. Used to work at a Mazda dealer and 99% of those mazda ticks was the lifters and not using OEM oil filter. By pass was in the filter and aftermarkets did not so high rpm starved the lifters of oil.

I just use some RTV between the rubber gasket and the thermostat and a quick smear on the casing for cases like this. You can't expect it to seal 100% of times anyways, those surfaces are rough or pitted at some point on most cars you'll see.

With all the cheaper new parts, it’s getting to the point where it’s almost better to try and save and reuse the old part and try and make the old part usable again

I once busted two castiron Cat housings in a row because one of the two thermostats was seated improperly, acting like a wedge…it must have slipped out of place upon installation of the housing, and you bolt down, and it cracks when ya tighten it. I felt fkn stupid. Had to wait for new one. Twice. On the third housing I was calling friends and advisors and it was my dad who was like, “is it seated right?” And there was another guy with me who was pretty with it and he didn’t catch it either, but I was extra neurotic on the installation and noticed it just baaarely slip out…..felt so dumb. Still feel dumb. Shit haunts me. I lose sleep over it sometimes.

There gasket that came with my AC Delco thermostat wouldn't work. So i used a slightly smaller aftermarket one and it worked perfect.

[danielmeehan]

Reminds me of when I had to replace my thermostat housing, the new thermostat housing didn't fit and I had to drill a hole a bit deeper in it, the thermostat inside the housing didn't work, so I too the old thermostat out of the old leaky housing and put it in the new one and Wallah! It worked 😆 🤣 😂

The "look at my package" joke made me giggle so much i almost wolk my wife up😂😂

[huntermessmann]

As a parts guy, I salute this message

[victormendoza]

They probably expect someone to use half a tube of the blue rtv along with the seal 😂

[igoturparts]

Love the tape on the caliper, thought u had mine for a sec. Then realized we are in different countries!

[tomthurmon]

😂😂 I love all the funny little things you add to your videos😂😂

[averagejoe]

We'll give you another one that doesn't fit.HAHAHAHA 😂😂😂

[Darkour]

God i hate parts stores, they hire some kid to click buttons and generally they don't know finer details or language used to describe parts. It doesn't help matters that the computers they use are stupid rigid and need a very particular keyword to find the parts 😂

[djingersoll]

The alcohol shakes are too real bud. I know em when I sees em lmao.
