Why aren't there more mechanics like this one???Why????? I have gone through 6 mechanics, which have been 6 nightmares. This one is excellent, methodical, reasonable, compassionate, knowledgeable, honest, passionate. Not a miserable, oportunistic, disorganized crook. The only good thing about crook mechanics is that they have pushed me to learn, fix and do more things myself on cars.

Hello Miguel you are absolutely right it’s hard to find a good honest reliable mechanic I’ve learnt a lot from this you tube channel I wouldn’t hesitate taking my car/van to Peter to fix or service, shame he isn’t in the Uk 🇬🇧 best regards to you Mark from billericay Uk 🇬🇧🚗👍👍

@@marcusmaximus451 It really sucks that I'm closer to him than you are; I'm here in the US, but still far, far away from him...Not the largest, but this country is still ridiculously big. Anyway, not to say there are no US mechanics that are good (Scotty Kilmer for example, even though not as methodical); but this Peter sounds like German to me, I wonder if he has ever said where he is originally from...just curious.

Of course a KZitem channel is only going to post a video of a easy fix like this. Maybe you have a difficult problem that's tuff to figure out. If 6 mechanic can't figure it out that's my guess of what's going on.

I bought after market custom wheels for my Tacoma...big mistake! Always a pain not very true and took a lot of weight to balance in a couple. Changed them out and couldn’t resolve the issue. 13 yrs later I sold my Tacoma and got a Tundra I’m keeping the wheels stock...Toyota engineers things great and I’ll keep it all stock!

There you are I was looking for you buddy , I know if there someone that knows about this issue or restriction I’m having with my 1996 4 runner 3.4L it’s you . So a lot of times my 96 4 runner gets tested by other trucks or SUVs that in other words want a piece ‘ and 90% of the time I get the better of them , but “ why is it ‘ when my 4 runner is pushing 100mph there is something that restricts it and all of a sudden it will stop going then start back again , stops throttling then kicks back on ? My gf Toyota Sequoia did the same thing ‘ but my 98 4 runner and 2002 Tacoma didn’t have that issue or restriction . Can you tell me how can I get rid of that restriction because sometimes it lets the other vehicle that wanted a piece’ catch up “ what is restricting it ???

I should also note that it doesnt chirp over the summer, but when fall comes around and the rain comes back and gets wet, the chirping starts back up. no mechanics can figure it out. It's really loud. u joint?

Did you figure it out? I happen to have the same issue with a '93 Toyota truck. The chirp (I call it a metal-hamster-wheel squeak) is only when decelerating-- and also stops when i push in the clutch. Any ideas? It doesn't sound like the clunky, horrid sound of a U-joint going out (as presented on these youtube videos, anyway).
