Honda Ridgeline Needs To Take Notes From Jeep

The Temperature's Dropping: A Temporary Fix

As we continue on our journey, the temperature is starting to drop a little bit now that we're getting some natural air flow through things. It's going to be our temporary fix for the moment, and we'll need to get this vehicle fixed and back on the road as soon as possible. We've pulled into the Corral of Justice, which will serve as our temporary repair shop. This is where we'll get our trusty vehicle fixed up and ready to hit the road once again.

We're going to pull the nose into the wind and shut down the engine to lose a little coolant before it starts not working at all. The temperature has dropped to 190°, which is about as cool as it's going to get. Our thermostat is set to run hot, so we'll let it cool down a bit more before we make our next move. We're pouring some water into the system to try and bring it back up to pressure.

The Wheel: A Little Suspension Work

One of our wheels has some minor suspension work that needs to be done. We'll get that taken care of quickly, as it's nothing too major. With a little bit of TLC, this wheel will be good as new in no time. Our mechanic is taking good care of the vehicle, and we're grateful for their expertise.

Leaky Radiator Hose: A Pinhole Problem

We've discovered a leaky radiator hose that's causing us some issues. The problem is a pinhole-sized hole that's allowing coolant to escape from the system. We'll need to fix this before it causes any more damage or becomes a bigger issue. This will require some careful work, but we're confident that our mechanic can get it done.

Temporary Fix: Wire Splice Gone Wrong

The leak was caused by a wire splice that had become damaged over time. The wire had poked through the inside of the hose and then out again on the outside. We'll need to fix this splice before we can put the radiator hose back together. This will involve some careful repair work, but we're confident that it can be done.

The Off-Road Trailer: A Necessary Tool

We've brought our trusty off-road trailer with us today, which has come in handy for transporting the dirt bike to and from the repair shop. The AC is cranked up, keeping us comfortable as we work on the vehicle. It's a beautiful day out here, but 103° makes it feel like a scorcher.

The Dirt Bike: A 2008 Honda

We've arrived at our first destination for the day - a blown-up dirt bike that needs some repair work done. The owner has sent us coordinates to meet them back at the water tanks, and we're excited to get started. This is a 2008 Honda, which I love, as I have my own dirt bike of my own. It's a fun machine that's perfect for off-roading.

What Happened to the Dirt Bike?

We're not entirely sure what caused the problem with this dirt bike, but it appears to be related to a blown-out component or maybe something that just gave up on us. We'll need to take a closer look and figure out what went wrong before we can get it fixed. This could be due to all sorts of things - worn-out parts, overheating, or maybe even a manufacturing defect.

Cooling Off

As we work on the dirt bike, we're keeping cool thanks to our trusty AC unit. It's been a hot day so far, but with temperatures in the triple digits, it's no wonder. We'll take a break and cool off for a bit before getting back to work. Our social media team is keeping us updated on our progress, and we appreciate their help.

Meet Dylan: The Social Media Star

Our social media star, Dylan, is swinging the camera today, capturing all of our adventures in action. He's the one who makes sure our Instagram followers are up-to-date with our latest projects and behind-the-scenes fun. We're grateful to have him on board, as his skills make us look good!

The Final Touches

After some careful repair work, we've managed to fix the leaky radiator hose and bring it back online. It's a relief to know that everything is running smoothly once again. We'll take a final glance at our handiwork before saying goodbye to our temporary repairs shop - the Corral of Justice.

A 5-Year-Old's Touch: BR

As we wrap up our repairs, we're reminded of an unexpected visitor who stopped by earlier today. A 5-year-old named BR was eager to see what we were doing, and their curiosity is contagious. We may not have been able to fix every problem right away, but it's moments like these that make the job worthwhile.

Missing a Lot

As our mechanic continues working on the vehicle, they're realizing that they've forgotten something important - where they put it. Despite the many times we've seen them work their magic, there are still moments when things slip through the cracks.

Temporary Fix: What's Next?

As the temperature drops and the sun starts to set, we know that we'll need to finish up our repairs before we can call it a day. The temporary fix is holding strong for now, but we're confident that with some more TLC, this vehicle will be good as new in no time.

With any luck, tomorrow will bring clearer skies and an opportunity to continue working on the dirt bike. Until then, we'll take some well-deserved rest and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of our temporary repairs shop - the Corral of Justice.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enso we got a call for some type of vehicle that is stuck in the sand down here near Babylon Mills we're going to head down there see if we can get it out it is a beautiful day about 90° let's get these guys out we got the AC working on the banana and let me just tell you it's amazing back here thanks man oh we're going to go get them huh peanut no that's not what I want oh man you're going to cause a wreck peanut we're meeting the customer here right at the beginning of this run I think the last time I was here we were pulling out that Chevy Suburban oh the one the the one that had no brakes wheel broke off and then we had to rescue that his Dodge that had no coolant in right there is where he picked that kid up in the Suburban there it is yeah my buddy thought he'd be a hot shot and actually try and back it up and made it worse see I was originally only right here can't see where it's coming out of doesn't feel like water it feels it is in the water yeah we're going to have to shorten that hose we got a coolant leak so this hose has just got a hole in it squirting out right there that is a really weird place to there's nothing there to make a hole or rub a hole it's just it's just a hole so we got to figure out what to do let's get this out of here that just changed my strategy I was going to pull it out with a rope let's just pull it out with a rope we could cut that the coolant thing and shove it on we could do that but we'd lose a ton of coolant so what we should do we've got plenty of water to make it back if we're careful we just got to get going it's all there is to it we're going to be using our Trail Mater buggy rope okay Colin we're going to be hooking this to the driver's side incoming intercept dang it you would be a good basketball player no I wouldn't probably yeah turn down turn down hey W okay oh at least there's no center console that's nice it's like a Corvair you're just going to try to keep from sloughing off this hill so do your best to do that kind of keep the Rope tight enough that it pulls you over yeah without pulling me down on let me try to back up okay it's going slowly a little bit I'm ready got a little wheel lift action so now we need some more kinetic energy so we're putting the 30 foot on there this do it right temps are staying good so that's good like a dream that work I did okay I'm going to get out of your way and you can get this turned around B beautiful all right we'll meet you back at the Carell's okay we got to limp this old girl out of here now temperature starting to climb a little bit what you think well we got it out of there that was a nasty spot yeah so like the Pirates we're under wind power right now yeah we're just coasting see if we can't pull a little heat out of the radiator and quit putting heat into the engine I don't think we're going to make it no unless you just let off completely hey that bought us some time pass them under wind power yes we did uhoh that means we're going to be working on this when we get back bummer all right the temperature's dropping a little bit now that we're getting a little natural air flow through things all right we're going to pull into the Corral of Justice here this is going to be our temporary get it fixed get it back on the road going to point the nose into the wind I'm going to shut her down shut her down shut her down so I figure I can lose about a gallon of coolant before it starts not working at all we're down to 190° now so that's about as cool as it's going to get running that's what my thermostat is so we're going to let it cool down a little bit more we're going to pour some water in it and we're going to try to make it home well Colin it's pretty good how's it wheel uh needs a little suspension work there you go appreciate it thanks guys you guys are awesome have a good one all right thank you I don't think there's pressure in this cuz there's a hole in the system there's a little bit if you don't we will be right behind you boy it's not that low no geyser no I'm still going to top it off oh yeah luckily the the hole is on the suction side of the system so it's not at least not getting any of that pressure oh she's going to get us home one more time such a weird weird place for a break just a just a weird injury it's just a a pinhole all right we're going to try to make it back to the shop then we're going to fix this all right we have got the weirdest leak in this radiator hose we got leak guys sauce is getting out so we're going to wait for this to cool down before we start working on it 2 hours later all right we got this cut off and I have figured out what made this hole so this is wire reinforced and the wire ends it's like a wire splice there and uh this wire poked through there that's what did it Pok through the inside on the outside now I'm hoping that we don't have the same problem again in the future huh I would have thought that the wire reinforced would be like an upgrade but tore itself apart this time and I and I cut it shorter and this one stopped there that's where it stopped so I don't even know if this is going to work we've only got one choice and that is to put it back together and hope for the best I have no other option do you think that'll do it does it look like it's on I can't see far enough that's pretty tight you want to go get the fluid if I remember correctly that was a temporary solution to the bottom r radiator hose wonder if we should come up with a permanent one all right that is that I guess we should
