DIY Frame Cross Member Welding Repair on Cadillac STS for Cheap
This 2003 STS was in excellent condition except for one end of the rear cross member. A shop quoted $2000 for the part alone and labor would have been expensive due to complexity of the replacement procedure. In the shop we capped the end of the cross member for very low cost and gave this STS new hope for many more years of service.

    • @mrdiyguy123

      Actually, used motor oil has corrosive components. I use proper undercoating fluid as demonstrated in the video. This is a better approach in my opinion but to each his own.

      Thanks. you can buy a cheap wirefeed flux core welder for cheap and it will handle nearly all automotive welding needs. Then get someone to show you how to do it. If you put the word out "free pizza for someone to give me a 30 min welding lesson" and I bet someone would take you up on it.

    Here is another tip. When replacing the filter clean the hole in the transmission with a shot of brake clean so there is no oil and the rubber ring has a better grip. Then use green Lube Gard assemblee goo on the contact points of the filter to the valve body. This will hold the filter in place until you can get the pan on. Put the assemnlee goo in the refrigerator for a few hours to make it extra sticky. This product is made to be used in automatic transmissions and will dissolve in transmission fluid. For some reason Ford could not put a screw in the filter to hold it in place. They probably saved 15 cents per transmission by doing this.😑

  • @GaryH-pw9cm
    @GaryH-pw9cm 3 дні тому

    Also here is a tip if you are not into transmission fluid waterfalls. Drill a 1/4-inch hole in the bottom of the pan first, then remove the dipstick, and let the fluid drain out into a pan for an hour or two. Then remove the pan, replace the filter, clean the pan and magnet. Plug the hole you drilled with JB weld, let it set up and replace the pan. Refill with the same amount of fluid you drained out. A cleaner job without all the mess.😊

  • @GaryH-pw9cm
    @GaryH-pw9cm 3 дні тому

    I have watched several of these videos and many comments state that they would drain out 5 1/2 quarts of fluid and have to install 7 quarts of fluid to get the proper fluid level. So does this mean that the factory under filled the transmission? Or is the transmission now being over filled? Kind of odd there could be such a difference. There is some fluid in the filter but not that much. Also, I have found that welders gloves help when checking the fluid level.

    A couple of things about chickens and nesting. Yes, they do not mind (possibly even prefer) nesting together. However, if you have a strong pecking order in the flock, have at least one separate box or compartment for those at the bottom of the pecking order. For your nesting box, just the one divider in the middle, would have been fine. Yes, they like to roll other eggs under themselves, this is common. Sort of like an inbuilt habit. The bit of tin you put on the top is a bad idea. They tend to jump up on things, and would therefore cut their feet and get infected.

    You did well removing the bend, however the inside bead where the rubber tire bead meets the aluminum wheel needs inspection and possibly a rasp file or emery cloth rubbed completely around the repaired area otherwise mounting a tire on an uneven and rough surface e will surely create a slow leak that will empty the air in your tire in a couple days!
