      There are several folks I subscribe to on YT that I really like and have lots of respect for, but VGG is honestly my favorite channel. Derek impresses me as a genuinely nice guy with a great family, and when he says he appreciates us watching at the end of his vids, I think he sincerely means it. Definitely need more guys like him in this world...

His content is friendly, accessible, funny, entertaining, and approaches things the way not-rich, regular working folks would. He presents as a decent man with strong give-back values. I save his content to enjoy with my boys, and that is really awesome on many levels. Thanks Derek and family! And keep it up. You have a bunch of big fans way up in Can-Na-Da!

      From some random person on the innerwebs, if you have the extra cash after the family is taken care of…do it. My mechanic uncles always told me growing up, take care of your livelihood and if you can afford a hobby do it. Whoever you are wherever you are, if you have the cash the space and some sort of time do it. A project isn’t done in a week, a project is time, dedication, blood, sweat and the works. Maybe don’t start crazy get something that doesn’t need lots of work and grow from there. I hope you get your hobby!!!

    I’ve done several square body LS swaps, the Tejas Steelworks engine mounts are the best swap mounts out there. They raise the engine to point that the bottom of the truck pan is even with the crossmember & also allow clearance for the factory low mount AC compressor. They also have lots of other nice square body LS swap parts, such as ECM mounts & fan shroud for dual electric fans.

    Always impressed with your knowledge and work ethic Brother. Plus I like the way you explain things so even a hillbilly like myself can understand the process. Looking forward to the rest of the build.

    I work at Walmart ( you do what you have to sometimes) and I'm way too poor to own a garage or lifts and such. Also, I have to deal with a wife that refuses to crawl under vehicles when help is needed . I recently found a way to change the flex plate, without dropping the tranny, from this guy on youtube; that's where I get all my information. Guy used 6 inch bolts to hold the tranny away from the engine - just enough room to get a wrench up in there and do the job. It worked Great! A big win for the little guy. This type of information is a big deal for us poverty slaves . To NOT pay a shop 100 dollars an hour means the kids get to eat .
    I love VGG channel because friends and I drive old high mileage cars and this guy is one of us. He seems to understand people who can't afford to buy a car with under 200,000 miles and a few missing parts . I also believe Derek has the grip on what makes some of us tic. He's the type of guy who would understand why a guy like me might hang onto grandpa's rusted out 48 ford f1 ( Not like my neighbors who describe the old gal as "Junk"). I hold on to the 48 and my memories of the old man....despite the numerous disputes with neighbors and a city that claimed "my precious" was "leaking hazardous chemicals into the environment" Hey, just because some don't appreciate, she's still a beautiful yard ornament. Might even get her back on the road one day!

    Back when I was a wrench turner for big ole machines, we had a jet fueled from the local Air Force base come in to be worked on. I was told by the boss man that it sounded like a rod knock. Long story short, he did not pass Go and collect $200. Problem was a broken flex plate right where Derek was saying. But the inner piece caught onto the outer piece, thus making it still able to drive. Pretty interesting, but I guess you had to be there.

      I once had a tractor come into my shop with a broken crankshaft under it's own power. Made a hell of a racket, but it moved. (Btw, nothing else had damage, just the crank and a bearing. We replaced all as well as checked everything else.)

    • @johnherdener6801
      @johnherdener6801 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Have seen that issue more than once. I think some of this comes from shifting to drive while the vehicle is still rolling backwards. I see a lot of people doing that...........
