woooooooooo
Hello
Why you struggling and have so much money?
Yesirrrrr got the cameras to watch the customers trucks love every part of it
Hey guys that noise you’re heading is the blend motors for the hvac system. They’re behind the glove box, held in by two 7mm screws. Just replace both of them
☝️
You are absolutely correct
^
Is that what I keep hearing in my impala? Shit starts clicking soon as I open the door then stops after a few minutes. Seriously.
That would explain cold/hot air George mentioned. Good call d pizzle
Again! Sam hits a walk-off Grand Slam with the interior detail...looking good enough for a BaT auction! And for a very deserving George.
Next on this list an engine detail for the SS George still got to get that trunk done probably
And he's smart enough to get gloves on before rummaging through all the "extras" included in the purchase.
He's giving Ammo NYC a run for it's money. Sam: Freedom FLA!
Peter Bennett Yeah But he doesn’t forget anything unlike ammo does.. He literally just forgot the upper & lower interior door for that air plane ✈️ detail job that he was just flown out & paid for / instead he just jumped around until he was buffing the outside of the plane which wasn’t part of the job & then proceeded contracting more of the owners friends to help him buff the outside of the plane again instead of finishing what he was paid to do.. He literally started doing a job he wasn’t paid to do / then left the customer who is in a wheelchairs aka the air plane owner on his own to then figure out without proper disinfecting equipment how to clean up the rest of the interior that he already had paid nyc ammo to finish.. Even if he means well it was a giant cluster fk .. finish you’re job them do extras you wanna do after not the other way around..
Omg 😱
George is possibly one of the best humans ever. That guy just bring pure joy and excitement to every situation!
It’s unreal seeing how grateful George is for absolutely every thing he’s given
Just wanna say that George was such a GREAT addition to the Cleetus workforce!
Jeremy has entered the comments. ;)
@@Madagon367 if George would rather be with the cleetus crew then he should be wether it makes Jeremy mad or not
@@Madagon367
He hasn't though. He's terrified of YT now....and George was the only part of his channel worth watching.
Hell yeah, Goerge is a funny dude.
It seems like he fits in there so much better than he did at Jeremy's shop.
The fact that Cleetus continues to recognize the work that goes into keeping this channel running smoothly is amazing to see. The crew are so deserving of everything Cleet does for them.
I second this sentiment.
Motion carries...
It's the whole crew that makes the channel. If it was just all about Cleet it wouldnt be near as interesting.
Yes Brother!!!....BUENOOOOSSS DIIIAAAASSSSS!!!!
It’s amazing he still edits all of his own video’s with everything else he is doing he must not sleep for real
Georges laugh and enthusiasm is so infectious. So glad you guys got him on the team.
Agreed. George is a keeper!!!
When he first saw the car I was smiling from ear to ear
One tip: Watch out for the transmissions in these, they weren't made for the torque of the LS4
Yeah I have a dead on sitting in my driveway! I am trying to figure out what to do with it! The engine is a monster with Texas speed cam.
Triple edge performance!
@@majesticjew19 no lmao, you can get 4l80s for these cars and that’s the only good choice.
@@bbdl7042 no they're still fed
4t85eHD is the right one
@@bbdl7042 4l80 in a fwd? Nah
Cleetus finding a larp sword: “no way!”
Cleetus finding a scale: “kinda sketch”
Yeah you might wanna ck it out close and make sure their is no "Product" left behind from the previous owner!
@@ch3no2killz I'd be alot more sketched out about touching a LARP sword if I'm honest. 🤣
@@ch3no2killz it’s a Monte Carlo, ultimate drug dealer car lol
This is the true example of leadership within a company. Always treating the guys with respect and dignity and always having fun doing it. You are an inspiration to many sir and the company you keep has made waves that will be hard to duplicate. Love every minute of it!
That's one of the main reasons he and the company are being successfull.
You can't build an empire alone, you can't do do everything.
You can tell Cleet isn't a super experienced people leader since he lets some stuff slide, but overall I know he is a fantastic person and I'd love to work for someone like him.
@@jdboyd1861 Letting stuff slide is exactly what a leader do, many times, people only learn when they make mistakes.
Sam is a legend and so happy you started including him in the videos. George deserves whatever gets him home if he drives 100 miles each way. You're all legends and great to watch your videos.
That is the best wrap EVER for George!! That is incredible what you do for him. You literally saved his life, financially, after he was let go from Fast Proms. It was really the best thing that could ever happen to him though… He is such a great addition to the Cleetus family. Great video!!
We need to find LSG a new place to live. His four-hour daily commute would be better spent in the shop, making us smile.
Well he can easily set the cruise at 100mph in the Monte, so only a 2 hour commute lol. I'm sure that Cobalt would've been shaking to pieces and throw a rod out the block if you held it at 100 for more than a minute or so lol.
@@AaronSmith-kr5yf Traffic.
There could be a 1000 reasons why he can’t or doesn’t want to move. There’s no way I could move and would do the 100 mile drive each way if I had too.
@@GrantDolanMusic my guess is his missus and the rest of his life is 100 miles away and not keen on moving, but he couldn't pass up the opportunity to work in cleeter's shop.
Not that easy to just uproot your family lol
You know they are genuine car guys when a simple daily gets them all fired up more than a whole Lambo.
LOL so true!!
Well, also, it helps when you can take that 'simple daily' and turn it into a piece of pure Americana, for patriotic Americans that are also genuine car guys, that's a priceless score, and something you'll never ever achieve, no matter how many American LS's you swap into a Lamborghini. Loved the observation. Hell Yeah Brother! 'Murica! :D
You should do the RWD conversion to that MC. Those car’s would’ve been hot if they would’ve been RWD for sure
I got a cammed ls4 that'll eat any scat pack. Rwd is for girls.
@@josephscaramuzzino1190 rwd is just more fun to drive buddy
When he told him it was a LS, that was the most genuine reaction ever. Too funny
The ticking is a blend door actuator.... There are 3 of them.. THEY ALWAYS BUST BECAUSE THE GEARS ARE PLASTIC... Positive note.. the part is only $15 on amazon :D
unplug the motors and let her buck!
That would also fix the heat/cold distribution.
2012 Impala had 4. I was going to suggest because I knew that noise! Lol
This is a 100% correct went through 5 of them in my old ass impala.
Legit love George, he’s just a natural comedian and nothing is forced. Pure laughs when he comes around and he’s appreciative of everything. If George goes I go LOL.
Fear call unless for good reason
I don’t think he’s going anywhere the man loves his life in every video always smiling ear to ear but who wouldn’t love to work for Cletus
@@sean7379 the fact he drives 100 miles each way for work tells you how much he loves that job. You'd either have to pay me a huge amount or it'd have to be like this.
I'm glad to see Georgie get rewarded. He's a really great guy and he's such a positive person. Do it for Dale.🏁🏆
George makes me smile so much. Dude is hilarious. What a cool daily. 😂😂
I love George hes got such a great personality and it's so appreciative of everything you guys do for him
Love how they got him a v8 for his daily 200 mile drives lmfao
@@FightingSportsMedia you think someone that owns everything cleetus owns worrying about gas lmao you know cleetus pays for his gas to and from work so he ain’t worried about it either
@@FightingSportsMedia 26 mpg is better than my 6 cylinder daily
The heat issue is most likely a blend door issue. GM is notorious for them.
Monte Carlo especially. Typically an actuator within the system
For sure
No doubt. GM is notorious for electrical issues. Especially on early 2000’s cars
100% the blend door actuator.
I had the same problem on mine. 100% one of the 3 or 4 different actuators behind the dash.
Absolutely love the generosity of Cleetus, and George's enthusiasm! Very cool to witness...
George is like a cartoon character in real life. Just a genuine good that makes people laugh.
"I could sell all this stuff and buy a cam."
George is just the best
@slartbarg And thats how the mayhem starts? Lol!
My favorite part about watching cleetus since day one, he always takes care of his people no matter what, your a good man DO IT FOR DALE
Just started the video, but we all know that shape and those wheels very well. Only thing that's going to make it better is if it's the Earnhardt 3 or 8 special edition.
Finished the video, that wrap is even better than the special edition. Pretty damn awesome.
You my friend are a good employer i love how you appreciate your friends and employees and sponsors all together. Keep up the good work brother
I love watching Sam poised for action as they pull up with the SS. He’s walking around taking inventory of everything needs to be done
Seeing how he reacted to the car put a big ol smile on my face. I love seeing people happy
Same.
Love George's extremely genuine reactions!! Earnhardt wrapped SS is a good fit!
NO one deserves it MORE! You did well adding George! He is an asset!
The look and laugh from George was priceless to say George is deserving is a understatement all of your guys are deserving and especially you Cleetus you have a awesome team and the fact the you know it and reward the for all there hard work is awesome. Keep up the awesome content and as always be safe 👍
id recommend getting that thing on the dyno and getting a proper tune into and deactivate the DOD/AFM as they are notorious for causing a lifter to fail on one of the DOD/AFM cylinders. Also get a fresh trans service and auxiliary cooler for it. Those transmission are made of glass with the TQ from the 5.3
He said he’s putting a cam in it so the afm will be deleted with the new lifters.
Yep was looking for this comment on the trans... my brother went through 3 in his impala ss under warranty. He traded it in before the warranty expired 🤣
I was one of the lucky ones who never had AFM issues but lots did. Cam and a shaved truck intake go a long way on these cars! Agree on the trans too, they can barely handle a stock LS4 let alone modified. Great dailys with a little maintenance. I'd just recently seen there was a lot more development on 4T80 swaps for them too, if you're going to run one hard, might be worth it but not sure if I'd want to for a daily driver.
@@SOHCGT96 I would rather see a 6t70 6spd swap, that would turn this thing into a great driver.
@@JPARKERZ28 Trans will blow 😂😂😂 theyre so bad lol mine blew at 90k miles
That “Electrical” issue is a blend door motor with stripped out gears. Pull the glove box out and you will see it. Easy common fix on these and Impalas.
Everyone needs to have George’s excitement in life when he first saw the SS! Genuine dude for sure!
George is by far the best addition to the channel! His energy and excitement for everything is contagious!
That actuator that keeps killing the battery is the blend door actuator. It's located behind the glove box. It's very common for GM vehicles of the era. I have replaced 2 so far in my 2008 Impala LTZ.
I just unplugged mine permanently on 2008 Impala SS.
It's pretty common on gmt400's also
depends that bodystyle has 4 of them
@@hoosierdaddy1469 I bought another actuator last year but decided to just unplug it instead of working in it. The Mrs didn't like the decision so I just bought her a minivan and took the car to drive😁😁. Not her problem anymore🤣
@@JoeBidenIsNotMyPresident - Kills me, all the mid 2000 chevy owners saying "Oh, I know that sound!" LOL!
George's reaction was everything. So happy for him.
He’s a hell of a boss man. To buy his employee a car.
I'm convinced Sam can make anything shine old school knows what he's doing always love when you guys do something for George and this was over-the-top you all are just a bunch of good guys you take care of each other and that is cool that's what keeps people coming back👍👍
Yeah Sam is such a good detailer. I wanna go down there and hang out with him and learn from him.
guy did that with like some fucking windex nothing fancy
when did Sam come aboard, I feel I completely missed that. its like he just appeared and never left
Sam had his own business for decades that sold cleaning products.
George is cool as he can be. The world needs more people like him🤙
George is such a solid human! His laugh is contagious!
Glad he is a part of the team.
This is absolutely amazing. Thank you for all you do to keep Dale's legacy alive. Such an amazing team of guys you have assembled Cleetus.
Thumbs up for Sam absolutely killing that detail job.
"From whence came this thing"
With the mustache and that wrap, George needs some straight up OG Dale intimidator style sunglasses to wear while driving that thing!!!
That's an insult to Dale Sr!!!
Anytime you think about what the heck does cleatus's Grandpa Sam even do around the freedom factory shop, He is constantly cleaning. Shining. And polishing the beautiful rides and the freedom factory shop. God bless that man. Sam is a great dude.
George’s genuine joy and laughter is contagious 😂 too good
Cleetus, you're a ray of sunshine in this crazy world, lol. Keep bringing the fire! I love seeing Jose, or is it Juan? My bad, I meant Georgie, he cracks me up. lol
LS WhorHay
Jorge (Hor - Hey)
@@JayGarcia303 I like that name.
Someone I know said that today as well ; that the world is chaotic right now. Brother, unless you live in Ukraine, just stop listening to fox news all day at work, home and in the car. May I suggest some other music like, say… Fleetwood Mac?
I love the vibes George brings with him everywhere he goes and it doesn't matter if things aren't going good.
Congrats George. Great job Sam on that clean up job. What a great friend and boss you are Garrett. Bless you all. Stay safe.
I fricken love George.... he is the man always happy always willing to help . just a down to earth real dude
The battery drain could be the rear window defroster or mirror defrosters. I was an ASE mechanic for many years and that was the 1 issue I had with a Grand Prix that took the longest to figure out. Check the rear glass and mirrors to see if they are warm when the switch is not pressed. Also seen it happen with seats and windows. Pull a fuse per day and see when you get the right one if the battery doesn't die after a day.
Or save yourself 3 weeks of troubleshooting and drained batteries: just measure the current out of the battery while pulling fuse after fuse?
@@obc_obdo 👍
@@obc_obdo yeah that’s much quicker and slicker! DMM for life!
it has the typical clicking blendoor that drains the battery
@@obc_obdo It's important for the car to be in sleep mode though, some take 30 minutes to an hour and you have to trip the door switch or close all the doors. Not doing so won't give good readings.
That fits George perfect. He wasn't expecting that. Again Sam comes through in the clutch. What can't that man make like new. He is the "Clean Wizard"...........
George is a great guy, I can't believe he drives 100 frickin miles everyday to work! That's some dedication, love that dude!
such a perfect addition to the squad,LSG makes us start to smile as soon as u see him,such a grate guy
Thats true dedication and Friendship! 200 miles a day and he's a great guy, there's not many like him left.
Super stoked that George has a w-body now. That transmission has no chance for survival with the way these guys drive.
That's what I'm thinking 🤣
might be ok so long as the wheels stay pointed straight and theres no sudden traction moments.....for a week or so lol.
Yup I had a impala SS and the Trans went on that week point on them. And the junk afm and DOD
Oh boy. That.trans is gonna be done within the week.
I came here to say this, but knew in my heart it has already been said.
Judging by the outline in the thumbnail, I thought for sure it was a Dale Earnhardt edition Monte Carlo. But nonetheless a heck of a thing to do for an employee. This whole channel is just the best!
Dood, he is the most grateful recipient of any gifts I’ve ever seen on TH-cam!
George's laugh is contagious, cracks me up every time.
I haven't smiled this much in a while, so freakin' awesome!
He laughs like a 5 yr old school girl..... acts like one too.
He's just contagious with his joy
3:46 That is a "sword" used in heavy class combat in the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) which is a medieval recreation group. They are in full armor and use rattan weapons instead of steel.
A bunch of nuts pretending to be warriors? lol
Larping*
Medieval combat? Bitchin Monte Carlo? Someone was living their best life 😅
@@jakethreesixtyliving it in the Monte Carlo.
@@shaggy_e210 like larp but real pain and way more athletic
Cleet your genuine understanding of shit happens is amazing.
Sure he hit the fresh wall but “go get another car” was truly a show of character and you overflow with enthusiasm and understanding it’s amazing keep on keepin on man!!!!!
That was very nice of u. Not many people do nice things like that to actually help someone out. 👍 U GOOD PEOPLE...!
Sam, props to you sir! That is one of the finest jobs I have ever seen. Never would've guessed it could look that good
as an LS4 owner this makes me so happy these cars are a dying breed… honestly super slept on and pretty badass daily drivers
I'd say let's keep 'em slept on, a little bit. Keeps the prices down.
An "if you know, you know" kinda deal, ya feel me?
We have a GXP they are a fun sleeper , not many in Ontario Canada
They’d do better if the trans were worth anything, even mild built 4l60s aren’t worth it.
lovin' the wholesome content, you have a great crew, George and Sam are good people. it's always heartwarming seeing George get hooked up, he gets so excited. When's Sam getting a ripper?
Love it! George is the best love his reactions, you are the best for giving him this
The engine might be able to take a 150 shot but the TRANSMISSION... another story 🤣
Glass transmission smh 😂
I had a GP gxp. The trans was horrible
Yep. I had a supercharged 07 Grand Prix. Same trans. It just randomly quit one day.
4T80e swap incoming?
Those little burnouts alone probably fried it 😂
“Definitely does a burnout better with traction control off!” Wish I had a nickel for every time I heard that one 🤣🤘🏻
Yeah lol, if you had a nickel for every time, you could buy Florida XD
good ol HP tuners will fix that problem
I needed to see a happy video today. Watching George rip around with *cough*fwd*cough* is an inspiration to us all.
That is so badass! I knew the body lines were Monte Carlo but I did not expect the wrap until it was mentioned.
His reaction is SO PRICELESS! I absolutely love George’s addition to the channel. He really does keep the morale so high. Great stuff for a well deserving guy!
I love how George is always so fired up about everything.
Something about front wheel drive cars with power is just fun. I have a 1999 Buick Regal GS that was my dad's car and that thing is a blast too drive! Plus it being sleeper ads a bit of spice.
I love George’s genuine reactions, that had me laughing. I see a lot of transmission swaps in the channels future, those things are horrible.
Was the Dale ‘stache planned? If not, couldn’t have been more fitting.
Great unit, Cleet is taking good care of his boys. George is such a great guy, fits in the Freedom Family perfectly🙏👍🇺🇲
I gotta say, since Sam has been on camera he's looking younger than before. I think the crew is keeping him young.
Again Cleeter hits it out of the park. He sure knows how to take care of his people, what a great guy. The look on George's face was classic!
dude never get rid of sam, give that man the world just by the way he lives his life hes earned this fun
That’s my boy George is the man he makes my day everytime he is in the videos
facts
Hope George never leaves the crew. Got such a solid team now
Upgrades to plan to do.
1) Upgrade the transmission. The 4T65e HD wasn't built to handle the power of the 303 HP of the LS4 in this car.
2)DoD delete. The lifters fail regularly
3)Tighten up the steering. These cars have bad torque steer.
4)LS 6 intake and throttle body.
The car is already cool. I'd like to see it as a nice street car and daily driver in a mini series build. Additional note these cars have cathedral ports for the heads.
George is the best!!! His energy is contagious.
It’s just not possible that another TH-cam channel could ever be better than Ole Cleete and the boys. Damn fine entertainment 👌🏽
Ditto!!
Damn skippy🔥🔥🤘🤘🇺🇲🇺🇲🦅🦅
I feel like the late gen Monte Carlo was so underrated. As far as styling goes, it looks legit! I always remember thinking that was a real NASCAR when I was a kid lol
As an Aussie, it's like a grade 'A' trans woman, looks so damn fine until you find out all the power goes to the front! 😭😭😭😂😂😂
love the style hate the fwd
@@maxnaz47 it's a shame
CLEETUS YOU'RE AWESOME AND I LOVE GEORGE, HE'S ALWAYS SO BUBBLY AND POSITIVE AND HIS LAUGHTER IS PRICELESS 😂 ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO 🤗❤️ GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES NOW AND ALWAYS 🙏
The Dale wrap turned out good! And that Active fuel management..oof. 3:23 the Dune books are awesome! The Machine Crusade and The Battle Of Corrin are absolutely nuts. A must for those of us who like sci-fi
Its amazing how fast George has become one of the favorite characters in the Cleetus crew, no one deserves this SS more than Georgie!
George's reaction was the best thing that happened today! Congrats George!
I was on vacation this past week by you guys, took a ride to the track for some pics on the way back I swore that was George in the Impala mullet and Dale stach on Saturday morning heading to the track lol. Cars awesome guys!!
Oh that poor, POOR little 4T65-E has no idea what it’s in for!! 😂 great choice though and George’s reaction was priceless!
You are an amazing man, boss and friend. A true inspiration for all mankind. Love your work and the crew is stoppable.
When George cracks up laughing, I can’t help but crack up myself 😂👌🏻
George already has the stash. Just needs the open face helmet, and mirrored glasses!
That’s a really nice looking car. I have to commend George for doing 100 miles each way from home to work. He’s dedicated for sure. Your a great Boss buying your employee a nice set of wheels that the Police will never notice.😳🙄👀👍👍🇨🇦
I think this is the most excited I've ever got over someone else getting a new daily congrats LS George
Careful with the hole shots in that. Those transmissions are a glass cannon I spent lots of money years ago trying to go fast with one.
Ahaha as soon as I saw the silhouette I thought oh no. Lol
im sure once it blows out theyll get a built 4t65e-hd in there (the stock 4t65e-hd is good for ~350 but i know those v8 SS ship at around 300hp already) or figure out some way to get a 4t80e from the cadillacs in there (probably the better option). i northstar swapped my 99 monte because it was way easier than trying to convert the LS or 60*v6 to the 4t80e (you have to swap basically the whole subframe to mount the trans, so why not just put the northstar in too?).
LS4 king has made the 4T80 happen many times and has one with 1kHP
@@lmking84 oh damn thats sick! i honestly really havent looked into the progress on the wbodys since i got rid of my monte in 2013; guess ill have to do some new reading and youtubing :)
I made 300whp 15 years ago on a built 4t65e hd and it had trouble living on the street. You just can’t build a 4t65e hd enough; a 4t80 would be better but I’m not sure what kind of aftermarket there is for hard parts for that trans.
My first car was an '08 Impala which shares most of their parts with the montes. Learned very quickly that they are notorious a bunch of small part failure issues. The windows at some point will go down and never come up again, so you have to change out the motor for that. If both of the door speakers are still working, you have an anomaly. And I've never seen one that didn't have the clicking coming from the dash/glove compartment. Like others have mentioned, its the air damn/gate motor behind the glove compartment. Super simple fix.
