@@Corkoth55 In my place the average temperature is 10-15C in the winter but in the summer it is hot as fuck you can only go out at night or very early in the morning. You can escape the cold if you put a few layers of clothes you can't escape the heat.
In simple work cars, trucks you don't even need to weld exausts just cut it out and clamp some new pipe in it's place. And the muffler it's like tin foil it will never hold cut it out put a new one.

yeah right? its interesting as hell and informative when he uses rando products you think no one would buy to fix issues on the truck. I want MORE truck vids pls thanks
Hi Winston, I was a great fan of your videos from China which were a very honest appraisal of life in China and when you left I was not surprised at all. Your approach to cheap fixing of auto problems is great and lets face it if you can spend a few bucks and get an extra 6 months life out of your exhaust thats worth it. Exhaust systems have a lot of heat and vibration to deal with and you cannot replace welding as the 'proper job' as in this particular case, but since I have a similar situation with my exhaust I am going to give it a go.
That weld gives me nightmares, I wish I lived in Cali, I am a master welder and would do it for no charge simply because you bring me joy and I love all channels involved
Growing up in our lower middle class neighborhoods none of us has any money and we all had 3rd, 4th (+) owner cars, it was a community effort to try and keep them running. We didn't have to deal with all the electronics of today (when GM came out with it's electronic distributor swap out was a blessing), so it was mostly mechanical issues. Someone, somewhere had a garage where an engine was being rebuilt, and someone, somewhere had a car with a rod end cap blown through the oil pan (or similar).
TH-cam suggested this channel while I was looking for exhaust fixes and bam there you are the gentleman from Serpentza. I was like hey I know that voice. lololol will definitely be subscribing to this channel as well. You always have great content.
Don't stop with the truck stuff. I never thought I would ever say something like that until I moved to the mountains of South Central, PA. I loved my MINI and my WRX when I started out here, but after all the snow and rain and twisty mountain roads, I moved into body on frame SUV's and plan to stay there. They are also so much more practical and cheaper to maintain.
I know you said it's not the fans favourite but I love this stuff. Reminds me of me and my old man fixing up ratty cars to pass roadworthy tests in Australia. Also love the vehicle as you don't see those around here. Very much the kind of repairs everyone can give a go and have a bit of fun with.
You say this isn't everyone's favorite, and yet my buddy and I are genuinely interested in the fact that car and motorcycle guys are spending time on a true Worthless Whip, the Redneck Viper. I know both he and I are watching the videos. Keep it up! :) Also, playing smooth jazz while working on a truck is kind of hilarious.
This was great, loving the content! Nothing wrong with having the truck, I enjoy it AND the cars as well. Please don't forget to keep doing the Playboy eps too -- so much fun!!
Hey guys I had a medium sized power steering leak on my van so I sucked all the old fluid out and filled half with the Lucas you used and the other half with high quality power steering fluid and that was two years ago still no leaks and it even fixed the whine in my pump while turning after a couple months it’s disappeared it’s actually amazing stuff it coats everything and swells up all the gaskets and rings seems to last a long time
I sanded my muffler down with a flapper disc and applied weld putty on it two times before finally breaking down and buying a new muffler. The pipe from the catalytic converter back was good,all I had to do was replace the muffler.
Not a car guy, dont even have a drivers licence yet, but I strangely enjoy your car vids, usually I work on a Computer or something while the video plays, very relaxing! :)
I recognized your voice from your other channel. For a moment I started think that everyone in south Africa has same voice and accent. Good job on fixing leak.
Man..this is making me feel every day perhaps seconds of my age. I learned all these cheap tricks in the 1970s back when just clamping it all together with a coffee can was considered enough.. 😄 Once upon a time I would snatch up old muffler pipes on the side of the road for emergencies.. Held things together with coat hanger wire and prayed.. Muffler pipes are sooo much better these days..
I am in love with this truck, Twister being my favorite movie, I like the second gens, the V10 is the best motor out of the diesel and gas offerings, you should clean it up nice and properly fix some of the issues...
Krud Kutter! That's good stuff, I have a story about how I found out about it. I was doing water remediation years ago and we used a carpet cleaning TMU truck which is a large box truck with onboard 50hp vacuum/steam sprayer rig. Anyway we were sent to this really nice house to clean 2 little gray marks on the white carpet in the basement which the other technicians had made while moving around a washer and dryer. This basement was all white carpet except the little laundry room. We brought in the large suction and steam hose all the way from a giant reels on the truck through the entire house to the basement. We were not experienced in carpet cleaning but we got the 2 little gray marks cleaned up effectively, but then I noticed that right in the middle of the room we had created a large black grease mark from something that had gotten into the hose on the truck. We were in shock and went into panic mode, we cleaned the hose so we didn't make it worse. We then tried everything to get that grease out, every product on the truck but we only managed to lighten it a few shades and spread it out. Just when I thought all was lost I went to the truck and found a bottle of Krud Kutter. I thought what the hell it's worth a shot, and it worked! That spot went completely white like it was never there despite all other professional products we had on board failing. I've used it exclusively and been a proponent of it ever since, and it continues to surprise me in how well it does the job. There are lots of kinds, but that red label, white bottle original is all I use.
Also, just made a realization! Your awesome truck has aftermarket headlights on it, and these Sport trim trucks had "dual beam" headlights. So essentially, you'd end up with quad bulbs. I'd take those aftermarket headlights out, and install the OEM-style Sport headlights. Your visibility at night will be so so much better :)
The grey paste is sodium silicate. All exhaust cements that I've seen are the same stuff. It holds you over until stuff is fixed properly, that's about it. I leave it dry overnight before starting the engine. It has worked fine the few times I've used it.
I was watching and was impressed with you on the muffler, but when you got to the catalytic converter I was telling you to use your left hand to reach up there better. But I know it was already recorded and you couldn't hear me anyway. LOL! If you were pressed for time, couldn't you use a heat gun to possibly speed up the cure time? Just wondering. Hope you get it to pass the test.
Just go to a shitty muffler place with an outdoor lift. They'll usually lift it up and weld a hole in an exhaust in 20 minutes for $30 cash. You probably spent more on all that gimmicky repair stuff. As long as you clean the spot and make it easy for them it should be cheap, maybe an extra $20 since that spot is so difficult to get to. I know of a cheap place in Riverside if you need a referral.
A hair dryer for 2-3 minutes will help cure the epoxy and keep it from blowing out. Start on low setting , then use high setting. In the past I’ve had good luck with jb weld on an exhaust as well. A Clean rough surface is key .
This showed up on my feed because I’m currently trying to fix an exhaust leak for the second time. And I’m listening to you talk and I’m like hold up…I know that voice! And then checked the channel and remembered that you and Laowhy made a car channel years ago.
I like truck content btw...everybody should have one. The new ones cost too much, but with old ones it's more a matter of monthly fuel budget and maybe using it once a week.
Seems like a cheap way to get a leak handled, but after having to buy more product, waiting an extra day, and the fact that a legit pipe repair will now cost more because your friendly neighborhood muffler shop will be none too impressed at the adobe they have to work around... I lol'd.
you guys gotta get an app called Torque along with an OBD2-bluetooth dongle. that (or any other cheap obd2 scan tool) would have told you about emissions readiness. california has a bunch of weird rules--ask smog tech in advance, but depending on make/model/etc you can have a certain number of "monitors" not be ready and still pass. online websites (or the factory service manual) do spell out what "drive cycles" to use to get your cars emission monitors ready. love you work.
I've never had a smog check technician crawl under a vehicle in almost 40 years in California. That said, if you roll up with a noisy leak, they might well put you up on a lift and have a look..
After you put the sealer on the pipe you should have put a soup or soda can over it. Cut both ends off a can then make a cut down the side so you can put it around the pipe and then put a some hose clamps on to hold the can in place. Happy Motoring.
23:45 I have to say that the truck does look clean on the outside. Do you ever plan on taking off those fender flairs and putting the stock ones back on?
At least you tried ! Kudos to you my friend. I would try Tiger Patch Tape over that weld job. It would definitely work a lot better!!! I had nothing but amazing results with it every time I've used it!!!!! Just a thought. 😉
Not bad. I would have used a large goop of 2 part epoxy then wrapped it with a soup can and a couple of hose clamps from HF. I’d also run a gallon of lacquer thinner in the tank at your next fill up, especially before an hour or more trip. It really cleans up the “Cadillac Converter” 😉🤣 Yes it’s safe, I’ve run it in a couple of my older cars!

Ive used similar stuffs before and they dont say in the instructions, it dose make sense to let it harden naturally before fire up !
Ah yes, complaining about the bodge on your bodge while bodging your bodge. ;)
Bodged Dodge ;]
I never met a bodge I didn’t bodge.
In the past, I have used that putty and wrapped a coke can around it and a couple of hose clamps. that has fixed the leaks.
I was thinking that aluminum tape but yeah a couple coke cans and clamps.
I just found out about this stuff today, right before this upload. Love this video!
This video proves I could sit and listen to Winston ramble on to just about anything. The stories and random dialogue are the best lol.

Cheap silicone sealant, mate. You want it to stay flexible, not harden. Fatigue will just crack the putty the same way it cracked the weld.
You bloody teaser, I though I would watch the fix 😂. I really enjoy this serie of fixing on the cheap way.
The practical fix makes sense, the perfect fix (welding) is the enemy of a GOOD ENOUGH FIX . Looking good guys!

WOW This is exciting Winston, I get to watch glue dry on exhaust pipes, LIFE IS GOOD!
Learn to weld Winston. You can get a cheap 110v harbor freight welder for like 100 bucks. Not hard to learn with a little practice
have used that putty for my old bmw that I had. It lasted about 6 months and then you need to apply it again. So it's good for a temporary cheap fix

It's crackwhores, not cracks and wholes. Or did you mean holes?
All the South Africans I know wouldn't have worn gloves 🤣 Just kidding.
They have circular clamps that can “repair” such exhaust leaks!
I can't think of any clamp that's going to fix that crack. Although wise money is to Weld, you'd need $30-50.
