Today it will take lots of little projects to get our Yukon back in one piece. We are still looking good for a 4 day build, then comes the wait for the paperwork. The new assistant refused to wear yoga pants. Sorry, I know you guys look forward to the afternoon crew! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Those are not my cigarettes! I do not smoke. So you can relax! They belong to a guy that drives around in a big black lifted 2015 Silverado diesel and comes to bother me on the weekends.
Man you were reading my mind !!!!
@vehcor First thing you have to do is grind off the excess. That’s the daily grind 😂
At least does he land a hand ????
LOL I knew that without saying. People that go to the gym normally don't smoke.
The "Mistake" Smell's like Newport's now. :-)
You are the only person I would purchase a vehicle with rebuild title from! Better than new! You are amazing! 👍🇺🇸
Thanks for the confidence!
Another superb video - thank you! Love the fact you repaired the door handles and wheel rather than just throwing them away, we need more people doing that.
Thanks, I don't straighten too many wheels but since theses are expensive and the damage was only cosmetic it thought it was worth a try.
Another GREAT video!
Thanks!
The wheel fix was pretty slick
I don't straighten too many wheels but since theses are expensive and the damage was only cosmetic it thought it was worth a try.
@@vehcor is it safe to heat the wheel and bend it back? think the metal would be fatigued or compromised and in lieu of it being a safety item, well why take the chance? How much they cost??????
@@gertraba4484 🤷♂️ I agree. Yet having worked around automotive engineers and designers for 2 decades there's not much he does that doesn't surpass the normal quality.
@@vehcor I bet it worked well👍🏼. Worse case it might crack after a large pothole. No different from the other three alloyluminum wheels. Looks sharp on that truck too😘
You are the best there is on adapting & overcoming obstacles on vehicle rebuilds! Well done man!
I like the challenges. Builds get a little boring when everything goes right. lol Thanks for the support!
That rim repair was brilliant. Good ole porta power.
It turned out better than I expected! Glad I gave it a try.
That Yucon looks like a shiney Jewel !!!! Great Job.
Thanks, I'm not a fan of red vehicles but this one is growing on me!
From great to fantastic. You make it look easy...I do know is not. Again, thank you for all the details and patient to go step per step. Great tutorial for anyone.
Thanks for the support!
Wheel repair was quite impressive. Nothing better than seeing someone take the tools the already have and adapt and be creative to fix something it wasn't designed for
I don't straighten too many wheels but since theses are expensive and the damage was only cosmetic it thought it was worth a try. Problem solving is one of the best parts of these builds for me.
JUST AWESOME.I LOVE WATCHING THE TRANSFORMATIONS .YOUR ATTENTION TO DETAIL SETS YOU APART FROM OTHERS.THANKS FOR THE GREAT VIDEOS.
Thanks for the support!
Well done as always!
Thanks!
I watched and enjoyed the rebuild of the dirtnali. I enjoy and look forward to your videos every week and crack up when I see your post it notes with the smile face on it. I noticed that after you finished the truck, two other rebuild shows, Goonzquad and Alex rebuilds are now also rebuilding GMC Denali pickups. I think you started a trend.
I don't know about starting trends, I just do what I want. Those are popular trucks, I am surprised I was the first to do one. I checked them out after you said something. Goonzquad's is a weekend job, hard to believe they totaled it. Alex rebuild's is a little more work but for a brand new truck, worth it. I hope theirs turn out like mine. The truck is great. I still have some finishing touches to do on it but I don't want to stop driving it. lol Thanks for watching and the info on what's going on. I was wondering why my Dirtnali videos suddenly became popular again. lol
I was talking to a friend of mine the other day as we were leaving the gym, & we were talking about one of my cars. (my 2002 Grand Am G.T. winter beater...not too nice)Anyway, I started talking about your channel, I couldn't believe he never checked it out before seeing as we like the same stuff! Now he knows better.
I'm just a little channel, very few people have heard of me so it is not too surprising to me. Thanks for helping my channel grow!
Good job on the wheel, And the rest of the Yuckon.
Thanks
I figured the cigs weren’t yours anyway. You’re too smart to smoke. Man you took took that rim prisoner and didn’t cut it loose until it was perfect. I didn’t expect any less from the man who fears no bent frame, dented fender or worse. You’re an absolute joy to watch. Love the deadpan humor. Can’t wait till next Friday. I like it before I see it.
I don't straighten many wheels but since this was only cosmetic I thought I would give it a try. It turned out better than I expected. Thanks for watching and the support!
Awesome video! My kids are all grown up now with kids of their own, there was a reason I never let them eat or drink in our cars. Not sure what people are thinking. The job is looking good and can't wait for the next video. You make it look so easy......
I've seen mice and rodents chew their ways into cars because of kids and the mess. They'll chew through wires, plastic and even metal some times. Although I think it was a rat that did the metal ;-)
Thanks, it was not as bad as some I have seen but it was far from clean. Thanks for watching!
Every friday i come home after working in a shop all week looking forward to your videos. You NEVER disappoint.
Thanks for the support!
I like the way you work, through and through! I wish I lived close to you so I could come and learn from you man.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for the Topdon link!
No problem, hope it works for you!
Excellent video on the wheel repair. Guessing not many guys would even bother.
I don't straighten too many wheels but since theses are expensive and the damage was only cosmetic it thought it was worth a try.
I am amazing the way you do all this stuff, how you remember every single thing, every scrub and pipe lines etc. I am impressed, sorry my English is not the best.
Great job as always Rich. I like how you show all the elbow grease to get jobs done. Kinda puts insurance companies to shame for what they are willing to pay vs what they collect. Also the scab shops cutting corners to make that much more bang for the buck. Thanks for sharing
I wish I could collect insurance rates for the repair. I do quite well but that would be much better. Thanks for watching.
Good product placement for Newports. Thank you for the video sir.
It was not intentional. I don't smoke and do not approve!
FANTASTIC!! You saved the BEST 4 LAST: Love What You Did With The Rim... Can't Wait to see the Finale.
Thanks, I don't straighten many rims. This one being only cosmetic, was worth a try. It took a little time but the out come was worth it. Thanks for watching.
a nice steady relaxing video to watch.loved the improvisation on the rim and it worked,brilliant
Thank you. Sometimes you have to be creative to save a few bucks!
Nice job on that wheel! Jeez, looks factory!
Thanks, it turned out better than I expected myself. lol
You could restore a vehicle that came out of a crusher, awesome skills. I would buy that vehicle and feel comfortable driving it. I liked how you fixed that wheel, with finesse. It's not the application of a large amount of force, it's the correct application of a small amount of force.
As much as I like to apply massive amounts of force, sometimes a little self control is necessary. Lol Thanks for the support!
Friday night is not complete without a beer and a Vehcor video. The best auto repair channel on TH-cam. Simple videos, quality work... awesome!
Thanks for the support!
Great video as usual! Looking forward to next weeks video!
Thanks, I'm doing my best to make sure there is a next week's video. lol
Nice job on rounding the rim!
Thanks, it turned out better than I expected myself. lol
I'm glad to see you are getting some fans on your channel, well deserved. And those ^^12 asshats that didn't want to just move along. ^^
Thanks, I never thought I would see the day with 74k subs. I tend to piss off the trolls so they come back to dislike my videos. It makes me smile. lol Thanks for the support!
Good job and i like all the small detalis u work on it👍,
All the Best
Thanks for the support!
The Vechor almost tight face is great lol
If you don't make the face, you are sure to over-tighten and strip or break said bolt! lol
Never thought you could fix wheels but you showed that it can be done super cool, great video....Thxs
I don't straighten too many wheels but since theses are expensive and the damage was only cosmetic it thought it was worth a try.
All ways a pleasure to watch your videos really interesting keep up the great work
Thanks!
@@vehcor need more SMILEY TAPES hidden around in the BACKGROUND though! :))
Man, hats off to this dude. He is the G.O.A.T
You make it look soooo easy!!! Love the way you work, by the way, please introduce the lady who also works on the trucks from time to time, or did i miss something, keep up the good work!!!
Thanks, it is not that hard with a little practice. She will be around on more builds in the future. Now if I can just get her to edit the videos. lol
*Steam cleaner and a buffer with a scrubbing detail brush, some shampoo and a bunch of clean rags and you'll swear that interior was brand new again. dang thought this was the last video for this truck wasn't thinking about your detail guy needing his turn at it yet. thought that it would just magically be finished since you got all the trim back on it. No matter i'll still be watching. can't believe you didn't pop that porta power out of the rim even once. i bought the 20,000 pound one myself the little 5000 pound one i am sure has it's place too but i had that Tim Allen thing going and gave my 10,000 pound one to my neighbor when i bought this new one*
Still some finishing touches and making it better than new left to do. I am just as surprised as you, I thought I would send that porta power flying at least once.
Great Job, great way to straighten a rim without spending big $$$$$$$$
Thanks, I don't straighten too many wheels but since theses are expensive and the damage was only cosmetic it thought it was worth a try.
You made my wife spit out her soda when you said the word "Double Fisting" She looked at me and asked wtf I was watching... She did not catch anything other then those words... Now I have questions ;P
I bet she didn't believe you when you said it was a car rebuilding channel. lol No wonder TH-cam keeps restricting my advertisers. lol
@@vehcor Might explain why I am getting Tampon commercials on a Auto Rebuild channel LUL.....
Twisted Harlock actually you get advertising based on your google search and browsing history, soooo.....
@@Ideal1980 Welp, sense I have personalized ad's shut off and the account is only used for watching youtube I have no idea. /shrug. Also... it's only this channel /chuckle.
Good work vehcor you take pride in your work
Yes, I do! Thanks!
Thanks a lot on the obd scanner just ordered one with your code. I also just bought a yukon same color at action all it needs now is to change fender and paint it.
I thought the scanner was a good deal for the money, hope you like it! Good luck with your build! Thanks for watching.
Closing on the new shop Tuesday!!! Back to shopping for me!! Gotta finish the dual sport XJ project!!
Congrats!
I just recently discovered your channel when the white grand am popped on my feed. Catching up on the other videos. Awesome work you do.
Thanks for the scanner recommendation. I have been researching them, but never ran across this one. Ordered using your discount code. The Yukon is coming together nicely!
RODZILLA 5
I see a lot of code readers for the same price that don't give you data, SRS or ABS. I hope you like it. I have been pretty happy with it! Thanks for the support.
This GMC is coming together very nice. Swapping the frame was a lot of work, but is the best way to fix this truck.
I will buy your rebuilded cars i a heartbeat. Good work again 👌
I agree, even though the old frame could have been repaired, replacement is better! Thanks for the support!
Another awesome video. Thanks for showing the rim repair. Cant wait to.see the finished product!
Thanks, I don't straighten too many wheels but since theses are expensive and the damage was only cosmetic it thought it was worth a try.
There’s nothing I can add that hasn’t already been said, including what you said while using the torches, So I will just let it go at that.
Keep up the good work, keep the videos coming, Look forward to the next one even more.
A lot of people liked the torch comment. lol Thanks for the support!
With every video I watch, it makes me want to do this more and more!
Buy a cheap car and have some fun!
Ur the man bro...👍🏻 keep them awesome videos coming really enjoy them 2 thumbs up 👍🏻
Thank you!
I got smart and mowed the lawn yesterday, so I could watch the video today and avoid grief! Clearly you know alloy wheel repair, but do you ever use an outside service? I see the ads for places that will fix bends as well and buff out gouges, scratches, polish and clear coat. Just wondering...seems like you see a lot of wheel damage in your line of work and replacements are pricey!
I don't straighten too many wheels but since theses are expensive and the damage was only cosmetic it thought it was worth a try. The chrome cladding on these mean that most repairers will not attempt them. It is the reason these are so expensive to replace.
The perks of a couple that both work out.. tons of empty protien and pre-work out tubs to use as storage 😂😂
My girlfriend might have an unhealthy addiction to preworkout. lol LOTS of C4 containers!
hey vehcor great trick on fixing the wheel
I don't straighten too many wheels but since theses are expensive and the damage was only cosmetic it thought it was worth a try.
Cool work man 👍😎
Thanks!
Liked the wheel straightening.
Thanks, it took some time but was worth a shot.
What I wouldn't give, to have the knowledge, experience, and the equipment you have. Totally amazing! I would buy a car from you sight unseen!
Great job on the wheel and the handles have to save money on those builds it helps on your bottom line ✌🏽
Thanks, the little stuff adds up. Saved around $500 with those repairs. Well worth it to me. Thanks for watching.
another great video! Cheers from Seattle
Thanks!
Fantastic video as always bro
Thanks!
It gonna so nice when you get done with that Yukon
Thanks
Awesome video as usual! Keep it up!!!
Thanks for the support! Looking forward to your Escalade videos soon!
They’re on the way. I recorded a tail light video and a rear shock replacement video! You’re really cruising through this Yukon build. I’m taking notes. Most of what you’re doing on the Yukon can be applied to the Escalade as well so this build is extra helpful to me. 👍🏽
So glad my kids are old enough to keep my vehicles from looking like this. Plus I clean it and make them help!
This one was bad but I have seen much worse. lol
Nice job on that rim. I thought you were going to go full hammer on it at which point we would have found out how much a new rim cost. 😂
I was a little nervous, I know how much the new ones cost. lol
Love the videos, great work. Keep up the good spirit 👍
Wow what you did to fix the rim.....you sir are a Master Jedi.......
I don't straighten too many wheels but since theses are expensive and the damage was only cosmetic it thought it was worth a try.
Nice work , really interesting stuff as always !
Thanks!
Love the wheel tips, great work as alawys

@Vehcor looking good as usual. Love the content, brother!
Thanks
Love the video keep up the great work up
Thanks, will do!
A million thumbs up!!
Thank you!
i love how you respct all the comments bro ❤👍
Thanks, it is nice to have a small channel.
👍👍looking good
Thanks
Awesome job
Thanks
Man I stumbled on your channel! I just bought a f250 from copart to play with on youtube, great channel!
Good luck on your build! Thanks for watching.
As always great video.
Thanks!
Bought the scan tool thanks for the discount code
I hope it works well for you. I thought it was a good buy for the money.
I am disappointed that the OEM sticker was not transferred from the old master cylinder reservoir to the new one. Oh well, maybe next time. Love the content, thank you for sharing.
It didn't want to come off nicely, I tried. Thanks for watching!
I knew the air chisel was coming out sooner or later
Of course, now how will I get it into the final video??? lol
You make it look so easy.... Good work though!
We were already though the big part! This was pretty easy! Thanks for watching!
@@vehcor I meant all your work in general, you make it all look so easy ..... But of course I know how many cuss words, and blood are really shed on these jobs. Especially with salt belt vehicles lol
Another great job. The detail crew may have to charge double with this one lol. 👍👍👍
Thanks, it evens out since I have been cleaning everything lately. lol
late to the party but....... the air chizzle on the steering wheel is just sick!! when i hit the lotto i'm hunting you down lol
Better late than never. lol If there is a place to use an air chisel, I have probably tried it! lol
Wheel repair, clever
Thanks
Nice looking GMC now
Thanks!
Man, I was gonna scream at you for smoking lmao. Man this Yukon is coning together beautifully! I think you should build me one next!!! 😂
No smoking here. I would be happy to build another, I have plenty of parts!
@@vehcor for me tho? Lmao! I think it would be great to see what you can pull together
I guess building all of those plastic model cars, when you were a kid, really comes in handy now... LOL
Nice! But I hate that you left us till next week to see the walk around. Lol
I gotta keep you coming back. lol Thanks for watching!
Improvise adapt and overcome.
Yes
I always worry when I find those 'maintenance' items (master brake cylinder) because I figure if they refused to fix that $50 part, there will be other problems. Of course, you fix it by replacing absolutely fricken everything.... but to us mortals, signs like that encourage us to run away.
I hear ya. Other than a couple ball joints and tires, everything was good. Dealer serviced and well maintained. It gets new brakes too! I want the new owner to do nothing but change the oil for as long as possible.
Necessity is the mother of invention when it comes to repairing that wheel for sure. I've never seen the inserts pop out of the door handles like that though, usually they break somewhere else on the handle.
You should see this Prius I've been working on, it makes the Yuckon look spotless! I have to replace the left quarter, roof skin (you think GM headliner harnesses are difficult?) right front door skin, and about 12 hours worth of repair on the right quarter and right rear door. I filled one of the lawn sized trash bags with about 50lbs of stinky clothes that came out of the rear hatch just so I could pull the interior trim. I don't want to mention the smell or the fact that this poor car has never been vaccumed or cleaned in its 9 year lifespan.
Edit...
Nice deal on the scanner though, I picked one up just because of the price. Most scanners like that don't do ABS or SRS, at least in that price range. I somehow managed to get an additional 10% off coupon on top of the discount so it was only $89. Only 5 left in stock now!
I see this generation GM truck door handle break like that almost daily. lol I have seen much worse in the trashed interior department. Some disgusting stuff on brand new cars even. The scanners were on sale and with the discount, you end up with 30% off right now. I thought is was a good deal for the same reasons.
Looks like you got a decent bicep pump throwing the Yukon together
Lots of tire curls. lol
Fixing those door handles makes you look like a dentist. I'm not joking. Cleaning out the cracks and hole with a small, high speed tool. Check. Epoxy on the metal inserts (filling a cavity). Let it set. Fixed and better than new.
There is a little less schooling involved in car repair dentistry. Lol
Got e notice at 14 minutes after you downloaded this!! Already 330+ views!! At that rate, you will have 12 million views by Sun night!! That means that you will be one of those wealthy TH-cam stars by next spring!!
Champagne wishes, and caviar dreams!! WELCOME TO THE BIG TIME!! wink wink
And maybe some premium cigs instead of those budget Newports! LOL
@@gtoger Or maybe stop smoking that crap. Much better.
It doesn't stay at that pace. lol Good thing I didn't quit my day job. lol
@@gtoger or no cigarettes since I don't smoke!
@@officialyoutubecommentator4357 Never started, never will!
Reassembly ?????? Do you like to work with plastics/parts ? To me I've come to accept and appreciate the plastics. Yes they can and will get broke, but just like this GMC build, you can always bend a plastic part slightly. But if it's metal your gonna need to heat it, if it's chrome, it's going to change the color of the chrome. And like you just showed, a little epoxy. I use a product called E6000. When you pre apply 3M 4298 adhesive promoter, you have as close to a welded part as possible. I like it for interior work as it's very flexible to temperature.
Love the colour of the truck, I liked the dirty part replacement joke, haha, I'd buy the obd scanner but it's not available in the UK :(
Fixing the wheel was very clever :)
I'm not usually a fan of red but this color has grown on me. Thanks for watching!
nice wheel
Double fisting always work😂👍🏼 i love the commentary in your videos, keep up the great work!💪🏼👍🏼
lol Thanks for watching!
The piece that you say you're not sure what it does. It looks like it lines up with the styrofoam absorber in bumper, helps support it.
Goonzquad went got themselves a Denali..Was reminded you just did one up....great work as usual!
Alex Rebuilds is doing one too. Vehcor is a trend setter.
They did? All I know Alex Rebuilds did
They are nice trucks, I'll have to check theirs out. Thanks for watching.
@@supadoopa926 Who knew I would be ahead of the big guys? lol
