Could this be the end of the Dirtnali?

- It has been almost two years since I rebuilt the Dirtnali but the time has come to finally button up the rebuild. With close to 70k on it, it is time for new tires but Mr. Spotty wanted to be SURE it was time. Some regular maintenance, extra rustproofing and some finishing touches will all be included in this video, but is it over?....

Good thing you have all of us experts here in the comments to correct you all the time
I learn so much from the experts! lol
@@vehcor you are the best
@@vehcor Well, like they say, nobody is too old to learn Lol
What a nice truck it turned out to be. There has to be some real satisfaction in turning a wreck into a nice piece again.
It is my favorite truck so far and making nice things out of junk is my favorite part of all the builds. It is why I enjoy the work. Thanks for the support.
I've used a rain coat to wash like that, but when the life jacket came out I lost it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I lost it when you had the life jacket on while power washing the underside of the truck lol
That thing rode around in the truck for months before I got around to that part of the video. lol
Your work ethnic and attention to detail is certainly inspiring. I’d buy anything you have repaired no matter how badly it was totaled
I really enjoy your videos. I ran a collision shop for 8 yeas and relate to all your stories. You put more humor in it than me tho. Keep up the good work and ignore the haters.
I can't even imagine how there would be haters for this channel. This is top tier content.
I've been watching Mustie1 put together lawn mowers while I could have been watching you put together the truck I own? This is awesome, great work. Amazing.
you really do get an understanding as to why these things cost what they do... the amount of parts is astounding..
Dude you crack me up about GM using all their fasteners. Seriously, you missed your calling comedy should be your next career! Keep up the entertainment!
I didn't really pay attention when I was doing the work but after editing the video I was like, "Damn, there are a lot of fasteners", and there were still more! lol Thanks for the support!
I agree the humor you have Scott is awesome , keep up the great work , Id buy a car from you in a second if I needed one
Absolutely! The humor is 50% why I watch this channel. I still laugh too hard when he screams when unloading a car off of his trailer. Every time!
Dude work on a subaru they used 10x the bolts needed to hold things my sisters turbo legacy had like 7 to 10 bolts to hold the exhaust pipe in place from the turbo and i think they had 5 small ones in the heat shield which i was able to put back with just 1.
@@Superduty_59 That is a safety scream it warns people to stand back from the trailer
They probably used a Ford to push it backwards... I died when the life jacket came out! "Done" is always a little past "works".
No video today?? You really need to notify us. We do have a life ya know!! lol
@@lostintime8651 "We do have a life ya know!!" Not everyone is a famous youtuber :-)
The swimming vest was a killer... Glad you were able to "swim" to safety and get out of the storm.
Do it! Put in the sun roof and keep the Dirtnali. It's you.
That thing rode around in the truck for months before I got around to that part of the video. lol If it gets roof damage, I would have no problem adding a sunroof!
My week was spent replacing struts, shocks, sway bar links, window regulators, blower fan resistor, ignition coil, new side view mirrors on my 22 year old Town and Country LX. Now I'm doing the new headliner cloth.
“Anyways.... I install my trans filter” dying 🤣 the sarcasm has me coming back 🤣
I think you might be having a little too much fun making these videos ;) keep up the great work!
Thanks! I'll try!
@@vehcor how much ya asking?
@@clevelandmaker386
You know, I am not a GM fan for various reasons but the styling on this truck could change my mind. The next owner will be a proud driver.
Of course all because it was a nice job to make it look this way.
Nice work on the "Dirtnali", I hope you keep it; it's a good truck, and it looks good on you. 👍😉
Hard to believe it's been so long since I started watching, I think the "mistake" truck was the first build I saw (crazy youtoube suggestions) and the dry sarcasm kills me. I work on all my own junk because I can, and have to. I have picked up tons of little tricks just watching you, THANKS!! And the outakes and "what's in my console" segments are priceless. I subconsciously started saying "in the pile" whenever working on my junk, or cooking, tossing cans and scraps or whatever in the trash, so much so, my wife does it a lot now too. Cracks me up everytime.
I'm kinda sad to see this truck go. Such a nice pickup. My dream truck is the black duramax you sold. I just can't part with that much money. Retirement is drawing near. Thanks for sharing your talents.
I don't want to let it go but business is business.
I started watching your vids. at first because of your ability. Now I think I check them more for comedy. God Bless, I wish there were more like you sir.
Long time ago I told my kid that burnouts were mandatory if you own American cars. A few years ago, me and my now adult son visited an American car show here in the Netherlands and yes, they did their burnouts 😁
Nice bedtime video, thanks a lot Scott.
If you don't like burnouts, you are not a real car guy. lol
Love the videos. As a fellow Illinois resident, I appreciate the effort on the cavity wax. Vehicles without it do not last long in this state.
The Dirtnali is no more. Good job again!
Well the afternoon crew knows what to look at for sure!
Scott, love your videos and keep them coming. Humor is good as well, you’ve taught me more about a vehicle’s anatomy than I realized and I’ll be replacing my OBS Chevy rockers & cab corners now after understanding how vehicles are assembled. Thanks again Fran
Probably my favorite episode so far! I really enjoy your wicked sense of humor... wow, what does that say about me? Hell, I'm old, and I really don't care!
"Waxing cars is his job. I'm helping him." keep'em coming! Also, why are car detailers not gnomes?
Actually the roaming gnome IS the detailer. 😆
Because lucasfilm has the patent rights locked up till. 2077 on the detailing. Droids
"Also, why are car detailers not gnomes?" -- Different union.
I’ve owned several rebuilt cars, they last forever. Except the last Dodge neon I owned back in 2007, that one got hit head on during a snowstorm..
I had a 1997 Grand Am with over 235K miles before I sold it. Did all the oil changes myself. It went trough several batteries, two alternators and a water pump. The car served me well.
I think I may have mentioned this before but Jiffy Lube has moved beyond torque specs or even ugga duggas. They simply tighten the drain plug until it's friction welded now.
Those guys are always innovating! 😂
Playdoughnium... I'm going to steal that one too!!!! Oh... I imagine the clean freaks are going wild when that front bumper was getting put back together... Plus... Plus... A very rare appearance of the afternoon crew! Really love the update on the Dirtnali!
One clean freak in the comments so far! 😂
Truck came out beautiful. Nice work as always.
Scott, finally a feature-length video! None of the 12 to 18-minute shorts. Now I can sit down with a Diet Coke and a chicken salad and enjoy a feature-length rebuild completion. I can't get enough of filling doors and other panels with wax, or, for that matter, poping out and plastic body clips. Spraying the nearly entire undercarriage with was particularly thrilling. I do, however, pity the fool that had to edit this gargantuan video.
Beautiful truck, btw.
Hi from the UK. Recent convert to the channel, loving the builds, loving the dry humour even more. Keep doing what you're doing, really enjoying the videos.
She's looking good, awesome video bud 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Another great video Scott. I remain impressed with and admire your level of integrity on these builds.
I realize you are videoing what you do for all to see however, I'm pretty certain even without that evidence you wouldn't change a thing. Knowing your attention to detail I wouldn't think twice about acquiring one of these vehicles from you.
Keep up the great work.
love how the dirtnali is only going because you managed to find an even better truck
I have found lots of them but they are WAAAAY overpriced.
Thanks for sharing. As always thanks for the Friday pick me up of laughs. Stay safe and be well.. Have a good Easter.. im sure your game for Easter egg hunts..🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
NAPA..Never Any Parts Available..one of my favorites
More rebuild Friday’s please. What am I gonna do on Fridays now while waiting for dinner 😃😃😃
That's a sweet truck can't believe you're getting rid of it I have a 2016 with vent visors love it
I love how easily serviceable they make the Allison. 👍
The scratches are from pushing MOPARs, the hooks are for when you need a tow from a Ford.
One big brand new truck awsome.
That truck turned out great. Awesome video as always!
I would have laughed so much if you popped out of the back and said "so if you don't want to miss any more car repair videos, be sure to ring that bell!" in your best Scotty Kilmer impression. Bonus points for adding some round frame glasses.
Wait, HOLD ON JUST A SECOND.... Bed LIGHTS?..... Dang it, I'm getting older, I need those now too!! Oh, and yes, torque oil filters to 6000 ft pounds, but transmission plugs do not go to 5000. You tighten them until they strip out, and back them off half a turn. That's the perfect torque right there!
You don’t know how important bed lights are until they go out! 😂
LOL Love the video on the Dinali. The the afternoon crew owes you a couple pizzas in your last couple videos you know. Looking forward to the next exciting build and looking forward to the 1965 Mustang conversion
Build Be safe
No doubt, you do good work. Thanks for another great video..
I'd buy anything off this guy, knowing its now better than when it came out of the factory.
Done stamp. Nice job and it should sell quick. 👍👍👍
There is a growing line for this thing. I just need to find a replacement.
I had a grand am at 464.678 on it kilometers . great Engine 👍🇨🇦
The life jacket moment at 28:46 was epic.😂😂👍Great videos for learning/entertaining.
That thing rode around in the truck for months before I got around to that part of the video. lol
@@vehcor that's some serious "planning ahead " move. Lol
I noticed all the dirty parts that got put back on!....but then again its is a Dirtnali!.....good job!
Funny one...can't wait to see the next build.
Grand AM are great cars, had two since new, first was an 86, traded in with 315 ,000 kilometers and 2nd was a 96 and ran that one all the way to 465,000 kilometers. It was still running strong when I scrapped her, she had so much cancer and the heater core was done, with some other issues. Did not make sense to invest $$$ in her. Regular oil changes and maintainance works, too bad not everyone does it.
Your truck looks pretty a nice stock truck is always nice
I love your truck and all of your car and truck
Thanks!
Wow! Those consoles they put in those Denali's are huge! Big enough for a sunroof glass!
I cannot wait to see your next GMC truck build!
Great video
Sweet ride you are going to miss it
Nice work nice looking truck 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Scott - Jiffy Lube's torque-spec is known as "FT". It roughly translates to 6 ugga-duggas.
Great video as always enjoy watching your videos
You were probably not aware that Mr. Spoty is a Great Ford fan. So get with the program.
👍Ya ! The camo in the recycle bin ! Let's go to the next ' whre no man has gone before '.
No, camo must go in the garbage! We don’t want it coming back! 😂
@@vehcor
Those window vents in "smoke color" are ideal in the summer. Look good and make the interior bearable upon entry with the window open that little bit.
Nice build
Its a nice truck !!! Used late model trucks are selling for crazy money due to shortage of new trucks . Your Denali should command premium price if you choose to sell it . If you do question is what will replace her? You need something to PU future builds .
It is worth more now that it was when I finished it. Nothing like making money to drive a truck! I'm sure I will find something eventually.
'Playdonium' bumper material, opposite of UnObtanium. Always entertaining!
very nice great job
Nice video, Princess...
Seems like those door sill areas would be a good place for GM to put those heavy duty clear coating stickers like those used behind and in front of the rear wheel well and the rocker panels to prevent paint chips. You get a lot of mileage out of your bumper installation tool.
That trans filter has a large round magnet that is suppose to be moved from the old filter to the new filter. Maybe you did it and it was cut from the video, but, it's pretty important. Thanks for the video.
YOU LEFT THE BAFFLE DIRTY
Is the truck really finished, appears to me that something is wrong with drivers window....... 👍 keep the rebuilds coming!
Good looking truck.
Thanks 👍
Sweet truck.
ready to go the distance, super nice truck, and my favorite non-color white.
I never planned on keeping it but it is hard to let go.
Happy Easter ! ! !
Considering how fast used truck values have risen I wouldn’t be surprised if you get more money for the truck now than you would have 1 year and 20,000 miles ago!
Bonus WOD for the afternoon crew!
Should have made her carry the bumper around the shop for time! lol
Happy Easter Everyone
That’s a bad ass way to start a video 👍👍 NICE
What a sweet truck.... So nice. Great job on this one.
Luckily, it's not done, so you can't sell it... Whew! That was close.....
The rain coat looks funny, but does keep you dry... which is nice... The life jacket?!?!? Heh heh heh! Had to stop the video, I was laughing...... Nice!
That silly hoist deprived you of the true joys of doing an idler arm, while laying on your garage floor... You missed out..... (not).
So when can we see the “sunroof install” video!?
I have that same truck, I want whatever center console you have in that thing in mine!!
You think the oil all over the skid plate by 1/2" is bad try changing the oil on a 2020 Ram Eco Diesel. They decided that the oil drain plug needed to go directly above the torsion bar. So when it drains, it hits the bar and splatters in all directions. All they had to do was locate the drain plug 2" front or back. They had plenty of room. It's times like these that I'm embarrassed to say I'm an engineer. (Note: not an automotive one.)
Good looking truck
I suppose we shouldn't talk about the guy that worked on it before. :D I am certain the engineer that designed that bumper used to work at BMW and was fired because his work wasn't complicated enough. I would be tempted to keep that truck a long time, the replacement cost of that truck is stupid expensive and that one has already been mostly corrected.
The illogical part of me want to keep it forever. The business sense side of me says if you can drive a truck for two years, and sell it and still make a profit, do it. I just need to find a suitable replacement first. The bar is set pretty high now.
Love the video
You have a very adorable personality, at least the part we get to see :-)
I dented that chrome bezel around the license plate ($400 bucks) so had to tear it all down just to get at the mounting bolts did it on my garage floor, dam, that bumper is heavy!
awesome...
There should also be a donut magnet on the old trans filter to transfer over to the new filter, if it didn’t have one!! My 2015 lml has one anyway,!! Just thought I’d add my expertise in there😬🇺🇸
I thought that was your forever truck. Great job on the video, cant wait to see what the next video will be.
Actually I bought it with no intentions of keeping it or even using it. I just ended up liking it but I can never seem to keep the things I like. Thanks for the support!
@@vehcor I know all about that being a woodworker.
I really appreciate G.M.s use of 10mm. bolts .
Ah, the old metric hammer. Think its 5250 ftlbs for the trans pan plug. Then 320 degrees clockwise.
I always forget the additional 320 degrees! lol
@@vehcor Gotta strip the threads just enough so it stays on long enough so the next guy to do it has no threads left. Always gotta remember the next guy to do it, make it impossible for him!
@@vehcor how you calibrate your metric /ft lbs needs on your. Fingers?
The Dirtnali has stayed true to its name lol
Beautiful truck. I had a grand am paid $1300 for it, drove it over 100,000 miles and sold it for $1500.
Got to love that platodium
GM seems to! 😂
i believe on some year models like that one they changed things to make it easier to service plus alot of times they can void warranties is you remove the trans pan so making it like this with a replaceable external filter no need to drop the pan hell wish my 04 sierra was like this
Just remember to have fun out there. Yep, that was in the console too. Definitely needs a hole in the roof.
