This content is way better than anything you can watch on TV.
To bad he’s done signed a contract with discovery
If it weren't for my kids, I wouldn't own a TV. It's all garbage.
Appreciate the good word. We are interested in your feedback of our long videos we will be putting out
@@DavesAutoCenterCenterville can't wait to see part 2.
And Dave has a Tv show coming to Discovery channel…
I find it interesting that Dave goes in to explain the dynamics of engine combustion and cams along with spark. Sorting an engine's issues. He does it in a manner that is easy to grasp. Very nicely done.
Thank you for the feedback. That is my hope, to explain things in an educational and Entertaining manner .
when Mr talk, everybody stop to listen. i love it
I noticed that.
Love that he just jumped in and started hitting and grabbing things and looking for all the tools. Dave taught Dave some things that day.
This is the work ethic I instilled in my shop. Shop Forman at 3 dealerships (over 30-35 yrs). Forman then Service Mgr at last facility.
Another indicator of upscale shop that invests in their business is the Hunter Alignment system I caught a glimpse of.
Dave's shop is old school values, outstanding employees with his work ethic.
Dave, you are surely the most humble and gentleman personality out there.
Expand your own video team…why would you want Discovery in the mix. They’re probably going to try to turn you into the villain. All their shows have antagonist-protagonist angles.
Dr. Dave making "house" calls! Awesome.
1:34 time marker, Love the car and the music bro. 62 year old mine maintenance mechanic
What am America icon. Good for you Dave. May God continue on blessing you 🙏
Dave-you may be interested-the layout of stuff that you refer to, a lot of that (of course being common sense and all) but that comes from the Toyota Manufacturing System and is called, officially "Lean" methodology. It is fascinating the way Toyota pioneered it from a vehicle production sense.
this video shows daves years of experience, master mechanic at work
Man Dave is becoming a national figure. When I speak of quality build across all platforms. It starts with “THERES THIS GUY ON TH-cam!….”
That E63s is pure class, love those things
Man Dave is like my big brother, dad, and grandpa 👴 all in one. Genuinely wild
Let’s goooo! I can’t wait for Dave to start these videos
Stoked to see you still going strong. You guys did the head gasket in my ole 4age powered 1985 red aw11 mr2 about 10 yrs ago or more. I'm back in Salt Lake and will definitely be reaching out again for any machining needs
Good to hear from you! Thanks for following our channel
7:50 and rolls out a Schumacher charger. I used to have a 750 watt power inverter from wal-mart of that brand. You can now get them for under 100 bux. I prolly paid a little more, but steal felt like i was stealing it. Damn thing was a champ. Has a wonderful auto-shut off if a short is detected. Even has an audible alarm to let you know when shorting is happening. I'm not a Schumacher sponsor, but it's the Toyota of inverters imo.
Great job gents. Keep that good stuff coming.
It's the Dave man! Master of engines
Climbing up on a fender, sporting those crocks, what a life
Yeah, had the crocs on cause I just had some surgery on my toe! My darn toes are whack🤣
2:49 Oh, that’s cool!
Love the content ! Keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do!
Dave is a real hands on guy that is so cool
This is an awesome colab!
Dave drives my dream car and I feel like that's a win.
Great as usual
Great job keep up the good work.
12:23 Wow 🤩 that’s a flame 🔥 thrower 👀😜👀who said mechanics is not a dangerous work 😅
Love this channel. Dave, rolling in with music bumping, had me laughing my ass off when he gets out. Lol
Best show on TH-cam
Appreciate that!
I’m number 2 in a shop and do the same stuff as you Dave, just getting our machine shop going though, hopefully one day will be as nice as yours ! But anyway, when I’m talking to a customer I just naturally explain everything about how stuff works and what the customers problem is and my friend that owns the shop I work for is always getting on me after we’re alone about why do I go into detail about the engine or whatever problem cause nobody wants to hear all that-to just tell em you got a bad xyz part or whatever and it’s gonna cost x dollars to fix. I think he’s wrong, I think it helps people to wrap their head around the exact problem and what exactly I got to do to fix it and then their gonna be more comfortable forking out $1500 bucks (or whatever it costs) for the repair! You agree?
You bet! And also, trying to give them an analogy that they can have something they already understand to compare it to. Such as, what a doctor does.
Keep us posted on this FJ40!
You bet, part two is coming👍
Can wait for the series.Dave great content.
Man I would pay so much to see Dave talk about Subaru motors and their failures
Thanks for the feedback! We love getting video ideas from our community. Appreciate you watching our channel.
Really enjoy this channel
I make that running joke daily with my wife and she hates it lol.
Yep, it never gets old for me though, right?!
Totally Awesome videos.
Awesome collab video
A compression test would help diagnose a bad camshaft
"Where are the tool boxes around here?" Lol
My dream is to move from New Jersey to Utah because of location and my love of snowboarding and hiking mountains. Id love to work for you
Love the show
Induction compression power excaust. Four cycle's.
Need part 2 asap 😅
Sometimes we need the older generation for jelp
We need more content together🔥👍
Love it
Coolest family. wish i worked for a place like this
So Diesel Dave only knos Diesel!😂
Wow the knowledge you!
Dave is this a case of the lack of ZDDP additive in the oil? Great video!
This was fun
I guess watching is helping
Are Dave’s Crocs glued on? He doesn’t even have off-road mode engaged.
Stock 305...soft cams...time for a rebuild or a 350
Howdy howdy from Tucson
GM wishes they had an engine worthy of an old land cruiser!
I enjoyed the video
- Not Running -
Stage 1 :
Air
Spark
Fuel
Compression
Timing order
- Runs, but runs poorly -
Stage 2 :
Fuel Pressure
Timing
Spark Plug Analysis
Coil test / Rotor and cap analysis
Just put a roller cam motor, vortex. Better yet put it back the way it came.
The guy with the beard looks familiar,was he on the Lord of the rings ?
Classic, congrats Dave made it to the top of the food chain, can't wait for more viewable content!
All these in my area have Chevy V8s it seems
Should call this series the posers and the knower. "Where is the toolbox around here? Hmmmm..." exactly.
Thats engine sounds so strange on this side of the camera.
What's wrong with the other Dave? How does he run this shop?
Oh yea been waiting forever for this. We got Dave x^3 😂
Its an engine !! Not a motor..
Where is the nearst junk yard
Kind of confused as too what lind of operation Sparks Motors is.
Nothing better than a meeting of WRENCHING minds, getting together to solve a motor issue and 2 Dave's at THAT!!!
It’s way fun to work with these guys. They’re a great bunch
I want to see all 3 Dave’s next!
Mmmm seemed more like 1 wrenching mind and everyone elts confused.. which is odd cause there a shop for diesel engines lol just odd maybe more scripted but idk odd
None of the forced drama, or fake nonsense. Just work ethic and knowledge. Do more of these. Men are interested in machines and how they work, explained by a pro. Not "The customers gonna be here in three days, whadwe dooo!!" 😂
We hear ya 👍
It’s so good to see. No nonsense just a couple of blokes sharing their passion.
Project cars can take months or even years to get up and running and guys like Dave have decades of knowledge to share.
Just wait till they need ratings. lol
@@DavesAutoCenterCentervillehaha where have I heard (or saw) that before 😂😂😂
@@DavesAutoCenterCenterville please don’t let the TV people ruin it when yall get your show!!! 🙏🙏
Pullin' up in the AMG.
I’ll bet he bought it for cheap with engine problems and fixed it.
That's the perfect car for him because he would know how to fix it easily and economically 😅
Playing aerosmith's 'Walk This Way'👍
Not the cracked crank AMG though.
@@jamespatton3720I think he leases em
5 sons this mf hit the lottery
Yea I hate my dad
He didn’t teach me a single thing about cars.
Yes was supposedly a great mechanic.
But I get it
5 kids
4 ex wives
He’s got a lot going on
@@fastinradfordablejeez man hate your dad bc he didn’t teach you about motors ???
But shouldn't that invalidate special homosexual rights ?
TH-cam my dad was a A but i still love him and o im a father now so yeah its my turn now @subliminal128
@@fastinradfordable
Believe it or not, not a lot of mechanics don't really want to talk about mechanics once they go home after work. Also it's well known mechanics are well known for having shit personal vehicles unless they are the business owner. There's a few that may do. My mother always said blue collar parents never want their children to do what they do and always want them to do better like become accountants, lawyers, electricians, doctors etc.
I like your style Dave, generous, hardworking, God-fearing family man! The world needs more people like you!God bless!
How can you “fear “ the cowardly christian goD and if real would only be into playing hide&seek or Slavery depending on the day
You couldn't get more different than the level of organization in each Dave's shop.
lol he was definitely out of place having to find tools
It drove my OCD wild 😂😂
There's a reason they each are who they are in the game
Wow I would never think it would be this fast for a Utah collab 😂🎉 for the win
Dave, you are surely the most humble and gentleman personality out there.
I appreciate that. I try to imagine my grandchildren watching these videos and the values that I want to instill in them. Appreciate having people like you on this channel.
A collab with diesel Dave is just what I didn't know I wanted to see on this channel
New Tesla's don't come with a new car smell. They come with an Elon Musk.❤😂🎉
Yep, it'll be very interesting to see what happens in the next few years with the industry. Thanks for watching.
Dave had better do EVERYTHING correctly emmision wise dealing with those guys because the EPA, davis county health & the state of utah are watching like a hawk ESPECIALLY now dave has his own TV show now........hide & watch now regarding that land cruser according to davis county law......it has been tampered with .......do not let it in your shop
You can’t beat the knowledge that older gentleman like Dave has. He’s not just a replace a part guy, but a true mechanic.
Dave love the channel! Keep it rockin 🎸
Rock on!
Many things can cause that carb pop. Weirdest thing ever was a 74 Olds 442 with 455 and HEI. A loose alternator belt was the cause. Rebuilt that carb 3 times. Checked timing, plugs, everything. My mentor said that the HEI pulled so many amps that the alternator was needed to keep the voltage high enough for proper operation. I was in 2nd year auto shop, and one of the top students, as was my buddy, the Olds owner. Ran into a lot of odd stuff since. Even fixed a jet engine over the phone. Not always simple stuff, starting with basics is crucial.
It was cool hearing how you started out Dave. I'm looking forward to the next video.
This is going to to be great!
A vacuum gauge will tell ya a lot on that 350. Timing, mixture, valve train condition, misses...any of the old carbed motors. Scan tool of my younger professional days.
Nowadays younger gen doesn’t know how a carb works, let alone how a vacuum meter works .
Off topic : If I knew a colleague would come I would have taken care of that empty battery before Dave would arrive .
Thanks for content Dave! Great to see such a great auto shop here in Utah. I started watching you on the TH-cam shorts and so glad to watch the longer videos.
Late seventies,early eighties small block Chevys = peanut butter camshafts.
Flat hydraulic lifters can also collapse, or bent push rod ,could be a number of issues !
That would make a clickity clack noise from the excess lash though.
Not gonna lie, Dave's making this shop look a bit incompetent
This is the right content…keep doing this! Get paid from the tv show and keep this going. The drama the tv shows create is so fake and see thru. No one watches “cable tv” shows anymore.
I can watch this alll dayyy longgg
Good to hear! We are interested in our community's feedback on these long videos that are coming up. Appreciate you watching.
@DavesAutoCenterCenterville keep the longer videos coming. All these "shorts" now are making people minds "numb" it's so easy to just scroll and scroll and scroll! We need sustenance!
I did not know you had a TH-cam channel. Definitely subscribing
Good to have you aboard 👍
This FJ40 came with a Toyota 1F engine, not a 2F, which came in 1975 and later LCers.
Why do you keep removing all my text messages.
I figured we were close in age, same age actually. Love the collateral content! FJ = Fake Jeep. 🤪
Didn’t that diesel guy get the ‘Obama Special Super Fine’ from the government?
That's how I started at a junkyard in fort lauradale Florida 1982
We weren't to distant in years and location 👏👏
Two legendary Dave’s in one video ❤
