Check Leaf Springs and Taillights

road wet and uh put road hard and put away wet, you're going to see it in the rear leaf springs. you find that these leaf springs will have rust and eventually those will fail. That was taught to me by an oldtime mechanic. But now we've covered the tires. Tim, you were you showed up a little bit after the fact. Covered the tires in the engine compartment. Is there anything you'd look for specifically in the engine compartment? Leaks. But the first thing I do before even starting up the truck is check that oil. See what the oil looks like. How thick, if it's sy? If it's got a leaves a big residue on your fingers, it hasn't been changed in a while or there's blowby or something that's causing the, you know, poor properly improper like fuel combustion or whatever that's getting into your oil. And one of the things that I like to do too is I like to put the truck on a clean piece of concrete and just let it run. Yeah, that's another good point. Just let it run. It's best if you can show up if they didn't start it before. Oh, we said that. Always start it before we get too far back. Alex, explain to me exactly what engine blowby means. Just means that the rings and pistons are worn and air is getting past your system and blowing by a little bit of pressure is what I was under the impression it is.

And you could also go so far as to check the compression of each individual cylinder if you really wanted. You can bring it to a shop sometimes if you have a friend that owns a shop, drive it over there and have them have a mechanic go through it if you're not mechanically inclined. Pay the 125 bucks if you know it's a good truck. And yeah, have them do an inspection on it real quick to make sure there's nothing major. That's if you're really interested in it, it's worth the money. Yep. All right, guys. Uh, another thing too before we dive back into the rest of this video, make sure that you hit that subscribe button because we're going to be comparing skid loaders, how to buy them, and Minia X's as well. I said it in the beginning, but I'm going to say it again right here. And check your fluids, too. Like if your power steering pump's low, if your if your brake fluid's low, you know,…
