Doing that in 11F in the snow, huge respect! While you're waiting for the rebuild it might be worth soaking that frame in something oily, that's way too nice a truck to die of salt, the body looks great and it's a lovely style.
If we were neighbors we'd get along good cause I don't really know any other way to work on vehicles except jack em up and get to Fix in, worked on vehicles out in the cold 🥶 many of times. Much Respect to ya 👍
I gotta say. 1. #beastmode. To do that in the dirt, in the cold and snow , by YOURSELF.... mad props. 2. Can't we get Bendpak to get you a damn lift. They give them to all kind of TH-cam folks. 3. How in the hell you don't have more than 57,000 subscribers is beyond me. Great work, dude!!
I like the way he makes do with what he's got! Gives me motivation to try things myself with my bare bones tools and setup! He does deserve a lift tho! If ya get one, only use it when necessary please haha
Upstate NYer here and I've done PLENTY of work outside on cars in winter. Yet, you wouldn't catch me dead pulling a freaking trans...I'm impressed. Maybe they make em tougher in VT.
Much respect to you for working on your back on a rusted out truck in 11 degree weather. I couldn't do. I can barely stand to be outside when it is that cold.
I don't know what would be worse, I have never experienced 11 degrees in freedom units, just -3.C heheh or being out in 40.C in the shade like the other day.
i live in Vermont as well (Bennington area) and leave it to the Vermonters working on a car in the freezing cold/snow. its our natural habitat. i love it! keep up the good work man
Your practical skills are remarkable, but your perseverance is amazing. All that in your back yard in the cold and snow. And young folks where I live want $20/hour to pour coffee -- plus tips! You have a bright future ahead.
I complained a while ago about you not having charged batteries, so I was pleased to see someone gifted you a battery booster. I have looked forward to your videos and enjoyed your talents. Today, at -11F and the task you tackled ... great job!
Even if it's a harbor freight special... It's worth every penny having a transmission jack of some kind, especially when it comes time to put it back in. Also, get some weight to hang off the back side of that tractor. Around 500lbs is a good start, the more the better though. Made a world of difference on mine.
I did that same thing a while ago on a s10 but I pointed a bullet heater under the truck so I could be warm. Also pull the transmission support cross member off so the tranny starts sagging get the top bolts then support it with a jack then get the bottom bolts. that way you have more room
Fighting the weather elements in the cold is a definitely challenging within itself. But your determination in staying with it and finishing the job is commendable. Always stay safe and take care. 🙏
I'm so sorry that you have to do that at this Temperatures, but you did it again, great Job Buddy I'm working here in the Yucatan Mexico where at least no freezing and almost no Rust to deal with. come down if you like. thanks for sharing love to watching your Videos.
Cool . Done winter repairs NYS. Flywheel bolts use locktite blue or oil will leak on to clutch like Ford's. Spray underneath with oil grease or rot will ruin it soon
I changed a tranny and it was not only cold but snowing hard and high winds. I covered the entire truck in tarps with blocks holding the bottom to the ground and put a salamander (forced air heater) under the truck. Stayed nice and toasty the whole job.
Love your channel Brother!!! I'm south of you in Rhode island, but the wife and I love the State of Vermont and visit as much as we can. I feel for you on this video working out in the cold!
Thanks for showing me why I'm not moving to my NY house any time soon. I can't stand cold, snow, or rust. I'll stay in VA. I spent enough time working on junk in the snow growing up in WI. Now that I'm old, I don't like working below 45 degrees.
Dude you're the man. Awesome job. The last trans job I did on my vehicle I had two kerosene heaters blowing underneath the car it was 10° outside and it sure took the chill off. Always remember if there's a will there's a way!! 🇺🇲 🏁 😎 🏁
ALWAYS SOAK EVERY BOLT NUT OR MOVING OBJECT WITH PENETRANT OR AT LEAST WD40 OVERNIGHT THE NIGHT BEFORE YOU WORK ON ANYTHING IF YOU LIVE ABOVE NORTH CAROLINA LOL! That method has saved me countless anger spouts and issues!
Sawzall is man's 2nd best friend, NOT 1st. Hopefully Beatle did not hear the comment. Great job evicting the tranny with no lift, garage or HEAT! Saving the MANUAL does have its price!
Good job there, big guy. Give credit where credit is due. Too bad you didn't have someone there to help you. I'm still noodling over the 11 degree crap that you put up with besides everything else.
Transmission shops are struggling to get parts for any transmission, got a friend that has a 2003 ranger single cab long bed and multiple shops down in MS are waiting on parts to be ready for even that particular generation. Its crazy. Looking forward to seeing you shift them gears on that bowtie soon!
Dang, I hate even going in my unheated shop with concrete, you my friend are a trooper! Hey suggestion for next time, pull the crossmember and let the transmission down a few inches and it really helps with the room for the top bolts.
Working in cold weather is never fun. You could look for one of those square kerosene heathers and place it front of the truck to direct some heat back to you while working. You would just need to tarp orff a couple sides to hold the heat in. That is what I used to do. Always see them on Marketplace pretty cheap or free.
I did this once on the same style truck only it was the 700R4 automatic. Truck was rotted rotted rotted and was never going to drive again and all I needed was the tranny so I pulled it in my garage, ripped out the seat and carpet and took the plasma cutter to the floor pans. Lifted it right out up and out the passenger side door!
Get 4 metal ramps and a trans jack from harbor freight, well worth the investment. Put the truck up on the ramps for some room to work, hook up the trans jack, pull the crossmember, then lower the trans down and getting the bellhousing bolts is a lot easier.
Been there done that. Yah no it's cold and the ground is sloppy "but" by the time you get done looking at the negatives the transmission will be on the ground Ready to get fixed. Just be safe I did the same thing same conditions but set the truck up on cinderblocks and just missed being crushed when they crumbled. Keep buying an selling.
You’re a damn warrior ARV, LOL! Solid job man. Thanks for the great content as always. Can’t wait for your next videos on this GMT400 K1500 as you bring it back from the brink of it’s grave.👍🏻
7:38 Sure the watch suffered a causality, but I'd be more concerned about your hand there Quincy. I cannot believe you removed a transmission in the snow on uneven ground. I probably would've paid a shop to remove it and fix it. Goes to show that you know your stuff and saved a ton of money by doing it yourself. Give yourself many pats on the back!
Iv fine this same thing in a driveway in January winter. On the same exact truck. I couldn't even feel fingers putting the fly wheel bolts in. Gramps needed his truck though.
Good job as always! Also, that's a pretty neat truck. It's got a work truck interior, NV3500, with that fancy paint job. Interesting combo. Loving all these GMT400 videos. I'm so sorry about the wrist watch. I will pray for you in this time of sadness. Lol
talking about cramped spaces, i had a '84 chevy custom van. it only had the 305 in it but no space to spare. to change the water pump was hours of removing brackets from the brackets that were attached to the brackets. these gm engineers never work on their own monstrosities.
Hard work that one, you need a warm place to work, but i know it costs money and the chanel is still growing and you're studying, but one day you will get a big shop and 1M subs :). Regarding the watch i learned something with my grandad, every time before you start working in something take your watch out
Well that certainly is not a fun job to do outside in the cold and snow on your back! Leroux Brothers in Barton Vermont is the number one place for any transmission issues!
I think I can see where a shifter fork is missing. I bet it snapped, and is down in the pan, or the guy pulled it out. I didn't notice any messed up gear teeth. The trans fluid looks a little milkshake-ey to me, I can't remember on that trans, but a lot of that era of aluminum manual transmissions use ATF, I think for better milage, cause it's thinner than gear oil. I bet that made it a bear to shift in the cold, and the dude hurked on the shifter and snapped the shift fork, hah.
Are you a lot of credit for working on that truck and 11° temperature unless that truck was really needed I wouldn't have touched it so good job and dealing with the brutal cold you're dealing with and your walks yeah that sort of why I stopped wearing watches because I just broke so many lenses crystals so whatever you want to call them on working on stuff
I feel your pain I've done this many times in my 20s and 30s but I'm 54 now old body doesn't move like it use to but my hats off to you buddy I was freezing watching you lol
Glad to see you're getting it rebuilt. Is there a removable top cover? Just wondering if there's easy access to replace shift fork stuff without rebuilding the whole transmission 🤷♂
I don't know what's worse, dropping a trans when it's below freezing and your fingers are numb, or 98 degrees with sweat running in your eyes and bugs attacking.
Been here since a little over 1k subs. Still not entirely sure how you haven't built a small shop / at least closed in that lean to in order to get out of the elements!
Makes me ashamed to be indoors procrastinating whether or not to go outside and fix the horn on my old Volvo 940, 1 deg C is not an excuse it seems, great work, that rust though , phew
Dude, you are tenacious! No way I would've been out in that cold working.
I used to do that 20 years ago but not anymore
I wait tell like a 40 degree day then tackle it
He takes ice baths that’s how he copes with cold 😂
@@alliebarnett3143 swapped a wheel bearing in -12 a few years ago im in southern kansas so I feel like that's a feat.
That's why they make men and then they make human with male parts
Doing that in 11F in the snow, huge respect!
While you're waiting for the rebuild it might be worth soaking that frame in something oily, that's way too nice a truck to die of salt, the body looks great and it's a lovely style.
Fluid Film it!
No gloves in the cold...true northern respect
Northern people are just built differently. I'm from Tennessee and there is no way I could handle that repair in single digit temps. Props to you sir.
If we were neighbors we'd get along good cause I don't really know any other way to work on vehicles except jack em up and get to Fix in, worked on vehicles out in the cold 🥶 many of times. Much Respect to ya 👍

i live in Vermont as well (Bennington area) and leave it to the Vermonters working on a car in the freezing cold/snow. its our natural habitat. i love it! keep up the good work man
Kudos to you young man. I would say you’re probably 1 in thousands that would do what you just did. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
True!!

Great video. Tough job done in tough conditions by a tough man. Thanks for taking time to make a video while embracing the suck!
I can't believe you did this in the weather without the benefit of a solid floor or overhead cover. Kudos to you.
I did that same thing a while ago on a s10 but I pointed a bullet heater under the truck so I could be warm. Also pull the transmission support cross member off so the tranny starts sagging get the top bolts then support it with a jack then get the bottom bolts. that way you have more room
You impress me! Between the weather and working conditions I can relate. But you actually kept on working LOL. Great video!
Fighting the weather elements in the cold is a definitely challenging within itself. But your determination in staying with it and finishing the job is commendable. Always stay safe and take care. 🙏
I barely fill up with washer fluid and here you are under a rig swapping transmissions. Respect 🤘
I'm so sorry that you have to do that at this Temperatures, but you did it again, great Job Buddy I'm working here in the Yucatan Mexico where at least no freezing and almost no Rust to deal with. come down if you like. thanks for sharing love to watching your Videos.
The 2 upper Bell housing bolts I usually get with a wrench from the top
Damn I’m impressed, you dropped the trans in the cold…. Next project might have to be a shop 😂
Cool . Done winter repairs NYS.
Flywheel bolts use locktite blue or oil will leak on to clutch like Ford's.
Spray underneath with oil grease or rot will ruin it soon
I can tell you work your butt off, wish you nothing but success
I changed a tranny and it was not only cold but snowing hard and high winds. I covered the entire truck in tarps with blocks holding the bottom to the ground and put a salamander (forced air heater) under the truck. Stayed nice and toasty the whole job.
If you don't care about the paint at all this is a good idea assuming you have good ventilation
Nice work!! I always have respect for guys getting out there and taking care of their business even when it sucks to be outside!!
11° in the elements....you are a beast, good sir.
Perfect timing because I’m putting a clutch in one and have never done one on a truck
Love your channel Brother!!! I'm south of you in Rhode island, but the wife and I love the State of Vermont and visit as much as we can. I feel for you on this video working out in the cold!

Props for getting that done in the cold
Amazing! Working solo on all that rusty stuff in the 11deg cold. Thanks for posting
2 k job done at home out in the cold keep up the hard work
Brings back memories of my younger days wrestling with my vehicles out in the snow and cold. Nice work. That takes serious motivation.
Awesome video man! I’m from NH And it’s sucks working on the ground in the snow. Props to you for getting her out!
Man that was not an easy job. Good for you for sticking with it and getting it done!
Nice work! It is obvious you are young...an oldster like me wouldn't even think about doing this outside at 11 deg F with no lift. Huge respect!
Dude you're the man. Awesome job. The last trans job I did on my vehicle I had two kerosene heaters blowing underneath the car it was 10° outside and it sure took the chill off. Always remember if there's a will there's a way!! 🇺🇲 🏁 😎 🏁
ALWAYS SOAK EVERY BOLT NUT OR MOVING OBJECT WITH PENETRANT OR AT LEAST WD40 OVERNIGHT THE NIGHT BEFORE YOU WORK ON ANYTHING IF YOU LIVE ABOVE NORTH CAROLINA LOL! That method has saved me countless anger spouts and issues!
I've took the gear box off my 240 myself. I can tell that was heavy. I rented a box to do the job safely. Respect. ✌
Sawzall is man's 2nd best friend, NOT 1st. Hopefully Beatle did not hear the comment. Great job evicting the tranny with no lift, garage or HEAT! Saving the MANUAL does have its price!
all the best to you, especially in that darn cold
Man, you get it done....and on your own...Bravo Rural V......So, bye to that truck for 5 weeks or so.....Bonus...Weather will be better..lol
Super Kudos to you buddy for doing this in the cold elements! Stay safe!!
Hello! Always a bonus when I'm setting up my streams of the eve, and see you posted a new one.
Great work Q-man!
Good job there, big guy. Give credit where credit is due. Too bad you didn't have someone there to help you. I'm still noodling over the 11 degree crap that you put up with besides everything else.
I give you so much props man, I’m in CT and I second guess wrenching all the time. Hyped to see the build
That's awesome, and the nice soothing music at 11 minutes while you were probably saying " come out of there you bas-ard!!"
Transmission shops are struggling to get parts for any transmission, got a friend that has a 2003 ranger single cab long bed and multiple shops down in MS are waiting on parts to be ready for even that particular generation.

Looks like that tractor is coming in handy already!

You would just need to tarp orff a couple sides to hold the heat in. That is what I used to do. Always see them on Marketplace pretty cheap or free.

PB Blaster is definitely your friends when doing a job like this.
Apple Watch??

I hope you put a jackstand at the back under the engine a lotta stress on the engine mounts.
Awesome job dude! That's difficult let alone freezing to death at the same time.

I always enjoy your how to videos!
You should leave the swearing in. On more than a few DIY car repairs I've done, that was the only satisfaction I ever got.
Haha unfortunately TH-cam wouldn’t like thay
Iv fine this same thing in a driveway in January winter. On the same exact truck. I couldn't even feel fingers putting the fly wheel bolts in. Gramps needed his truck though.
Huge respect doing it outside like that
Love the vids man. Keep it up. Also love all your tool extensions I’m jealous lol
Good job as always! Also, that's a pretty neat truck. It's got a work truck interior, NV3500, with that fancy paint job. Interesting combo. Loving all these GMT400 videos. I'm so sorry about the wrist watch. I will pray for you in this time of sadness. Lol
I love when you update. How’s school going, always look forward to your videos
Thats what I was saying about Ballast on the rear of the tractor it would have picked the truck up no problem if it had ballast on the back
talking about cramped spaces, i had a '84 chevy custom van. it only had the 305 in it but no space to spare. to change the water pump was hours of removing brackets from the brackets that were attached to the brackets. these gm engineers never work on their own monstrosities.
Good for you man. Doing that in 11 degree temps, not fun. look forward to seeing her run.
Those damn Vermont rust mites are relentless. I changed a water pump for a truck driver of a big rig once at ten below zero and in a word it sucked.
They are toigh
Hard work that one, you need a warm place to work, but i know it costs money and the chanel is still growing and you're studying, but one day you will get a big shop and 1M subs :).

Aqui no Brasil essas Chevrolet Silverado vinha com câmbio manual ZF, ja as com transmissão automática eram poucas que vinham do EUA.
Thank you for your APPRECIATION to your subscribers
No really, LOL
Great work, but do keep safe when under these vehicles.
I think I can see where a shifter fork is missing. I bet it snapped, and is down in the pan, or the guy pulled it out. I didn't notice any messed up gear teeth.

as soon as you said youll take the tranny and t case out togather because itll be easier... i laugheddddd, and laugheddddd lol
I think you should have done the method where you pull the engine out to access the transmission
Are you a lot of credit for working on that truck and 11° temperature unless that truck was really needed I wouldn't have touched it so good job and dealing with the brutal cold you're dealing with and your walks yeah that sort of why I stopped wearing watches because I just broke so many lenses crystals so whatever you want to call them on working on stuff
Put some Safety Glasses on brother ! Nice job. I removed a tranny from a 71 camera in the snow to replace my 71 nova's tranny
Another great video. Thanks for sharing
Looks cold, you’re awsome
How does the clutch look man you did a good job kept your kool, my 91 has a 4 speed manual
I will probably replace it but it’s not bad
I feel your pain I've done this many times in my 20s and 30s but I'm 54 now old body doesn't move like it use to but my hats off to you buddy I was freezing watching you lol
Glad to see you're getting it rebuilt. Is there a removable top cover? Just wondering if there's easy access to replace shift fork stuff without rebuilding the whole transmission 🤷♂
Not sure, I sent it to the rebuild shop already. Looked to me like it was only able to separate at the bell housing
Good job man love the videos
Looks easier then dropping the trans on a old bmw. They use 11mm external torx bolts and I used a quarter inch ratchet to break it loose
6:35 if you would have dropped down the tail of the transmission it’s easier to get the top bell housing bolts
The guy who designed where the exhaust goes under the gearbox must have been smoking some mushrooms.
Too cold for this Southern boy. Where's Waldo when you need him?
I don't know what's worse, dropping a trans when it's below freezing and your fingers are numb, or 98 degrees with sweat running in your eyes and bugs attacking.
I might actually prefer this to that
Like to know what was wrong with tranny and what they did to it when its back,
Been here since a little over 1k subs. Still not entirely sure how you haven't built a small shop / at least closed in that lean to in order to get out of the elements!
Haha it’ll come. Still in college as of now
@@ARuralVermonterQqjmcb182 look into a carport garage. Not that expensive for the basic unit and finish the sides and ends as you can afford it.
Took me 3 days on a two wheel drive ranger
I shattered second gear in one of these transmissions with a 4.3😂🙄
Makes me ashamed to be indoors procrastinating whether or not to go outside and fix the horn on my old Volvo 940, 1 deg C is not an excuse it seems, great work, that rust though , phew
Haha thanks
