Replacing the Serpentine Belt on an ISUZU Forward F-Series

Hi everyone! 👋 I’m a mechanic from Japan, and I work on both heavy trucks and passenger cars. 🇯🇵🔧 This is a serpentine belt replacement on an ISUZU Forward F-Series truck. I enjoy sharing how we repair vehicles here in Japan, and I hope you enjoy watching too. My English isn’t very good, so AI helps me communicate with everyone here. 😊 Some people asked to see the full repair videos, so I also upload them to my YouTube channel, GREASE & STEEL. If you’re interested, the link is in my profile. Thanks for watching! ありがとう Arigatou! 🇯🇵

  Really been enjoying scrolling across your posts! :) Love the little trick using the belt itself to pull the alternator in. Gonna have to steal that if the situation ever arises that I may need it. :D

This is not a self- help sub. We only make fun of the bullshit we see in our shops every day. Additionally, all content must be original. Not something you have posted all over the place.

  They hated jesus because he spoke the truth.

  Sorry about that. My English isn’t very good, so I misunderstood the purpose of this subreddit. Thanks for explaining the rules. I’ll be more careful about where I post from now on. ありがとう Arigatou! 🇯🇵

We have these in the states too. I love how easy they are to work on.

  That’s great to hear! 😄 They really are mechanic-friendly trucks. I enjoy working on them too. Thanks for sharing! ありがとう Arigatou! 🇯🇵

Wish I could post my Hino 195H hybrid motor install.

  That sounds really interesting! I’d love to see it someday. 😊 I always enjoy seeing how mechanics in other countries work. ありがとう Arigatou! 🇯🇵

Uhm, are we sure this isn't a bot?

  Haha, no! 😄 I’m a real mechanic from Japan. My English isn’t very good, so AI helps me write in English—but the repairs and videos are all mine. 😊 ありがとう Arigatou! 🇯🇵
