It is time to pull the red Yukon apart and change over all the parts to our black Yukon frame. The afternoon crew is back again to teach me some new things. Technical terms like wobbly thingy (swivel). She is also there to mock me when things I said never go right, actually do! I'll have the last laugh when things don't workout as planned! Wait, does that mean I won, or lost? - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

You never cease to amaze me. As you were using the hose clamp pliers, I was saying, now THAT is really cool and efficient. You mentioned something about your helper. I can remember the days my daughter was out in the garage, working on her 1962 hardtop 400 Nova. She learned many things and did enjoy helping me, as I was helping her. She was 15 at the time. It is great to see someone else teaching their kids. This world would be better if all parents take the time to teach their daughter or son. Please keep on doing what you are doing. I am sure it is helping others as well.
Thanks, she is a smart girl and this is probably the only place in life I can teach her anything. It is good spending time with her. Thanks for watching!
My oldest daughter picked up a ratchet while I was changing a headlight when she was getting close to 4. She managed to find a 10mm bolt and started wrenching away as I stood there in awe. She kept at it for a while and I loved it, but my wife wasn't as impressed. Another time I was building her a cradle for her dolls and when it was finished she was more interested in the tape measure. Luckily this time I caught her on camera sitting in the floor measuring the cradle with a huge smile on her face.
It pretty much works the same at my house. I hope the little one stays interested, she is actually very helpful.
This video was a real education. Thank you for taking the time to post it!
Thank you for this excellent video! You have saved so many of us so many headaches...and injuries! I'm mechanically inclined but have never attempted something to this extent! Now I feel much more comfortable taking this on in my cave...."like a cave man"...with out a hoist! You wish you had 3 hoists. I'd be quite happy to have one!!! Lol. Great job and much appreciated!!! Side note: thats not rust! Not even close...that would be what we here in Canada 🇨🇦 call a "clean rust free vehicle" You have NO IDEA. You're living the dream! Ahaha!
Looks like you have a great helper.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 she rocks!!
Just showed my wife how great you and your female counterpart work together. ME: " Wouldn't be fun to work on a project like this"-- WIFE: "Your out of your freaking mind--- the nail salon will make a fortune" LOL. Great video looking forward to the next one. Thanks, Jim
That is the daughter and I think she learned the hard way about her nails. I bet she will take the gloves next time I give them to her. 😂
Totally enjoyable! Makes me want to go into my garage and take something apart!
Thanks, taking things apart is the best... putting them together... not so much! lol
4 people with black tow hooks disliked this video 🙂 Another superb video and just in time for my weekend - thanks for putting these together!
Cavan Jordan I have a Chevy with black tow hooks 😂😂😂😂
@@imperialservices9892 my Hilux has black tow hooks too - but I wasn't one of the 4 😄
That make sense. I thought it might have been the dealer hack that put the trans in and all his friends! 😂 Thanks for the support!
Or dealer mechanics(hacks) that heard the dig.
Please help. What's up with black tow hooks?
I applaud your tenacity and versatility and unfailing patience.
Thank you!
The second shift guy is a good worker.
Yep. My Chevy has black tow hooks!! It's great seeing women take an interest in this type of work.She's doing a great job and so are you sir. Have a great weekend!
Nothing wrong with the black ones, very few had the chrome. She is learning fast and seems to have fun. Have a great week!
I always enjoy watching guys do things I don't have the ability to do . Very impressive
Thanks!
Looking good! She's coming together nicely! great video. perfect video on a Friday. Thanks for sharing
Thanks and thanks for watching.
Superb job! All well explained.Easy to understand. Thank you for your dedication to detail.
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Great to see neither of these trucks has had a proper alignment, both had all the plastic tabs still in camber/caster adjustment.
That air chisel trick with the brake cable really saved me this past weekend. Thanks!
Good to hear!
It’s not only the northern states. Try being where I am. Newfoundland, Canada. I have a 2015 Sierra and my wife has a 2013 Expedition. Just had the rocker panels replaced in my Sierra and the wife’s expedition is on it’s 3rd set of power running boards. Both vehicles have about 70,000 km (35-40k miles). Believe me when I say, that isn’t rusty.
Still a fun rebuild to watch. Love this channel
This is not a lot of rust. Around here, this truck would be considered pristine. The black truck would be a fairytale. I usually end up replacing the power running boards with stationary ones after the first set. People don't like the $1000 bill more than once. Lol Rockers don't last long here either.
It’s brutal. I miss the days where vehicles were actually vehicles, not these Pepsi cans haha
Guys like the hack that installed that GM crate transmission are the ones who give honest mechanics taking pride in their work a bad name. Big name dealer techs that choose flat rate pay over quality workmanship really piss me off. I look forward to you fixing it correctly! Thanks for another great video.
I have never worked in a big dealership but have done side work for people in the truck garage and a few times I over looked something and ended up taking it back apart to make sure it was done right. Basically side work was "eh $200 will cover it" more than once I thought it would be a quick job and 6 hours later it's done.
The worst part is people think these dealer techs are the best around. The stuff I see and am constantly repairing from them is worse than if some of the vehicles owners gave it a try with no training.
vehcor so true. You inspire a lot of folks with your calm approach, subtle humor, sensible mind and great craftsmanship.
vehcor absolutely true. Just get it done no matter how crappy. Plus with slimy service writers in between them and the customer there is no relation.
Good morning Scott, again lots of parts. That is a nice forklift. Very handy for such jobs like this. Your assistant really gets in there and helps. Not some lollipop prom queen. As always, thanks for the video. You take care.
Having good tools makes it easier. She doesn't mind getting dirty and seems to have fun. Thanks for watching!
You are so fortunate to have good help!
Better mechanic than I can ever hope to be. Do I have to send you guys some rubber gloves and safety glasses, I will if you’ll wear em. ;)
Thanks, it just takes practice. I probably wouldn't wear them anyway. lol
LMAO when your friend started spinning on that hub HAHAHAHAH
He was hanging on tight!
Awesome man!! Great to see additional help!!! Safety first
Thanks!
WOW!!! Your definitely a true mechanical beast!! Love how you just swapped the whole frame instead of leaving it all cut up and repaired🤣🤣👍👏🏼👌👌.. love the content my dude keep it up!!
Thanks for the content, gives me more confidence to do things on my own car in Holland, keep up the good work both!
Good to hear. Good luck with the projects!
I really enjoy your channel, and I think that it is fantastic that your daughter helps you on these build.
That remote hose clamp tool is cool never seen that before 👍👍👍👍
Imperial Services craftsman has one too. It does both smaller clamps and bigger clamps. Some jobs have very little access, and these have saved me many many times. They are worth the investment.
Super helpful in those hard to reach areas!
Another great video. I would have never thought that there would be so many differences in the 2 frames. Learn something new every day!
Manufacturers always like to change things to make my life more difficult. Lol
Great details and workmanship! Very well done, probably the best video I have seen on a frame swap. Excellent!
Great video, different experience though, not once did I hear "Here, hold my beer".
We have done this before, not a "hold my beer" moment. Now if I were to attempt to throw the frame in the pile that would be a different story and most certainly end the way most videos do that start with "hold my beer"! Lol Thanks for watching!
@@vehcor how much you ask for the 2013 im in newyork
I like the way you used the combination of floor jack and go-jacks to manipulate the rear end. Smart and efficient.
I have done a frame or two. I always try different methods until one makes sense. Efficiency through experience!
Love the family working together. Hope someday my kids will help me with a project like you guys are helping each other.
Thanks, it is great having help sometimes!
You make it look so ez, excellent work as always 👍🏼
It isn't too hard. Thanks for watching!
Excellent videos love it that you’re daughter has interest in auto repair both my daughter’s know their way around automobiles and it shock a lot of people keep up the good work
I’m interested in auto repairs and always look for vids pertaining to such, even watched a good bit of them but I have to say yours are the best I’ve seen so far because you show every detail from beginning to end when others vids skip & leave out a lot.. but I got to say after watching your vids I feel like I can perform auto repairs myself lol!! Good work bro keep it up and thanks for the vids I’m looking forward to many more
I do leave out the bondo and paint only because I hate doing it but other than that, I do it all. Thanks for the support!
Another great video! Excellent useful content as usual!!!
Thanks!
This amount of work makes me wonder if this truck is destined for a family member.... The omni-present helper is another clue. My kids rarely ever help me with car stuff.
Nope, all of my cars get the same treatment. The little one is just there to learn and help the old guy.
Another great job. Seems like a bunch of work but you and newbie make it look easy. 👍👍👍
Thanks, it really wasn't bad.
I bet you like model cars as a kid and you took your bike apart an painted once a week . That impact is no joke . They should pay you money cause you made me want one. Great video can’t wait for the next one
I played with model cars and Technic Legos growing up. Smashing and rebuilding them helps build memory immensely, its why later on I could tear apart cars and remember how to reassemble them.
Wow, your assessment of my younger years is frighteningly accurate! Everyone says I shouldn't be using the cheap HF impacts but they do just as good as the expensive ones. I prefer air to them all but having no cords and limiting the compressor running for videos is nice. Thanks for watching!
Love the videos man keep up the killer work 👍🏼
Thanks, will do!
Had to replace the E-Brake cables for my wife's 02 silverado last week and I used your method of using a closed end wrench 13mm to get the clip out of the frame mounts so much easier. Thanks for that. Oh and we are no longer in IL we are in MA so ya North East salt road winters, and ocean salt air are not kind to our vehicles.
Glad the little tips help. They don't teach those in classes. The east coast is one place I like less than IL. Good luck out there!
Good to hear that remark about tightening the suspension bolts when it's with the wheels on the ground (and all weight on it), not only prevents wear but also doesn't mess up ride quality due to stiffer connections that transmit more vibrations.
Liking the content :)
Freedom units are our old imperial measurements ( we use both metric and imperial).
Thanks we call them imperial or standard units. The "freedom units" is just me playing into the stereotypical American roll! 😂
Haha mate. I got that, fair play 👍
WHOOSH!
Man you’ve got talent, keeping track of all these parts and fasteners and putting stuff back together that’s not really even supposed to come apart in the first place
Always look forward to your next video to see what's happening next. Also, great seeing your daughter helping you. She's doing a very good job.
Thanks, she is a big help.
You really packed a lot in to one vid, huge progress, keep up the good work always nice to see your vids pop up on my feed😁👍🏼
Thanks, I don't like to make filler any more than you want to watch it.
Great ethics and a great family you should be proud!!
Thank you, I am, very!
Your video are great I have learn so much I buy cars from copart and flip them what I learned on your channel I go in the body shop like I own the look on they face is priceless thanks for the great videos 💯
Top of the line Master craftsman!How about them hard working helpers!Thank you for being patient with your apprentice, the knowledge you share with her-will take her far in life. Now about that raise (just kidding).
Thanks, she doesn't take much patience. She picks things up so fast, she was staying ahead of me by the end of the day. Even if she never uses any of it, I feel better knowing she has the abilities if she needs them.
Smart guy !!! In putting your back belt on.
I use it when I need to.
Well Im 75 years young did automotive work ALL my lif and just learned a new and much easier way to get those brake cables loose frome the frame.
Glad I could help.
The WRENCH, so simple, yet so elusive! I learned a new one too...
@@oldpartsnrust In 21 years of working on those bread delivery trucks for flowers baking company and having to replace those emergency brake cables I always used a small screwdriver to push those clips in AND WORK THEM THRU THE FRAME NEVER ONCE THOUGHT ABOUT PUSHING A WRENCH DOWN OVER THEM AND SHOVE THEM THRU THE FRAME
Douglas Morrison your welcome! I have lots more time saving tips to share and I probably still have many more to learn!
@@vehcor Something I learned a long time ago and looks like Youve learned it too is that when a person thinks they know it all in this trade they better get out of it because that person is fixing to hurt their self or someone else and in this industry you can never know it all because its always changing and youre like me Im always glad to leran something new so keep on turning those wrenches my fellow brother in mechanic
Man that’s a lot of work 👍😎
It is not too bad. Book time is awesome. I want to be paid on commission! Wait, I kind of am!
I really appreciate these vids. It seems you have a systematic approach that I would expect from a professional. Plus, you take the time to video your work and take the time to have a dialog during the vids. Thanks!
Thanks and thanks for watching!
@@vehcor where is your shop located?
Lovin’ seeing your channel growing.Super content as always.Big KIDS LEGO!!Man I love this channel!!Big shout out to your side kick awesome team work guys.
Thanks, she is learning fast!
Can’t beat good old fashioned team work!!
AWESOME & Inspirational; This is something I've Always Wanted To Do!! Have Yet to see a video I Didn't Like, Keep 'em coming. Looking Forward to the Next Chapter.. Enjoy Your Day 😎
Thanks for the support. I do recommend a lift if you want to try. It makes life so much easier.
Good stuff! You're wearing gloves and she is bare handed, with a manicure!
She was offered gloves and didn't take them.
Nails would probably just cut through those gloves.
Eye ware when under a vehicle being worked on with rattle guns is a good idea - at least I think so every time I don't wear them and end up with crud in my eye!
Really love that clamp tool, thanks.
No problem!
You sir must have a photographic memory. I realize you have a gift for mechanical work, but you truly are amazing.Do you just remember how everything goes together? I would have to take pictures of everything and still end up with a box of parts. Awesome talent!
I keep the parts and bolts together so it is like doing a bunch of little jobs as part of one big one. I used to take pics when I was starting out but never used them. I still do from time to time just in case. Thanks for watching.
I'm very lazy about pictures. I just keep things together, and generally if you take it apart, you remember how you did it, or at least I do. Its bad that I had a concussion when fixing my riding lawn mower and I am just following the clues I left myself by organizing the parts because I truly don't remember. I'm glad it was one of my simpler projects at the time.
You love your work, I like that ❤️
Thanks.
Great video love the faces you pull 😀
Another great video, I hope the assistants pay covers a new french manicure.....Great that you have such a committed helper.
I bet she takes the gloves I offer next time. lol
"Freedom Units"
Hell yes Brother! Amazing work as usual. You;re an inspiration to all of us. This repair looks cost prohibitive, at least you're having fun.
'Murica! There is nothing I do that is cost prohibitive. I should not say that, it may happen someday. How about..... If I ever lose money, I will be glad to share and that will be the last rebuild I ever do. It could be considered a lot of work but when you have swapped as many frames as I have, you get pretty efficient. The fun is a bonus, I still like the money. lol Thanks for the support!
speaking of Illnois rust, i am contemplating replacing rocker panels and cab end cap on my 2001 Silverado thanks to the Maryland road salt. Got to love it. Great video!!!
I sold my 2000 Silverado with 300K on it only because the rockers where rusting. That is how much I hate rust! lol Good luck on yours, you are braver than I. lol
@@vehcor thanks, i got the truck for $1000 with 150k on it and it was my Dad's work truck adding in i can't afford to replace it. Thats why i am considering attempting it, then there is also the knowledge gained. My big plan is to restore a Model A.
Enjoyed your tear down rebuild very much, very interesting. New subscriber. Thanks.
Good to hear! Glad to have you with us! Thanks for watching.
Was waiting all week for this 😀🇮🇪
Now back to waiting again! Lol Thanks for watching! Have a good week!
Excellent video. i agree with all for safety glasses. ER has seen my eyes enough getting metal and dirt out. Looking forward to the next video. take care of that back.
Thanks for watching
Hi really like your videos really interesting to watch keep up the great work
Thanks, will do!
Great work! Great video. You make me wanna get my '07 Denali over to you! 🙂
When he was holding the differential up I said man this guy is like Hercules 😂😂😂😂💪💪💪
It might be impressive if it were a 2500, those are heavy! 😂
Great job man makes me happy to see yall doing this i did it to mine & at least you have help rookie or not she knows how to use tools iam show this to my girl & say look she's helped him ! And iam from Texas we use torches to ! Both of yall stay safe i know yall will !
Rookie? She was teaching me at the end. lol You must be buying those cars from the north just for a challenge. lol Good luck wth your projects.
Turns out your assistant is allergic to drive shafts at 14:31
Yep, back to the bungee cord method!
Congratulations for a good job, greetings from Guatemala
Man I've got to give you props,you sure aren't afraid of work,I've done this in the past, but after wearing out my joints and back,i would absolutely hate to do it now. Take care of that back we only have one.😁
I like to work. I get bored sitting around. Thanks for watching.
Like always you know your stuff better than pretty much all the rest! Fast, thorough & amazing frame swaps! Looking forward to the next video already!
Thanks for the support!
I'm going to re watch this video and take step by step notes
Hello from Jordan you have magnificent great Job thank you man for not wasting Our time
ali
Hi, what part of Jordan are you from? I have a friend who is from Anjara and I went with him when he went to visit and had a amazing time. I've traveled a lot and I don't think I've been anywhere where I felt so welcome. I was there a little over a month and my wife came for 10 days. We went to see Petra, the Dead See and Aquaba with her and a flat tire turned into a dinner with some complete strangers that were Bedouin's who now feel like family. They asked us to stay since it was late and we were their first American and Bulgarian guests.At first I felt guilty since they didn't have a lot of money..….. I could talk for hours about it since it was the highlight of our trip and we send them gifts every year. I include a call tag for DHL and they use it to send us gifts back. Our kids absolutely love it although it was tricky convincing them to use the prepaid mailing label.
@@southjerseysound7340
i live near amman , also you are welcome any time you visit Jordan,
its from beduan maneers to serve your guest or some one needs your help ,and thy talk about your visit for so many years and the have friend, and thy didn't accept money for their services .....
my son he lives in new jersey were he studied .
by the way did you eat mansaf lololol any body eat mansaf will never forget Jordan , sorry for my bad english
Thank you! Greetings from the USA!
OMG REMOTE HOSE CLAMP PLIARS!! Where have you been my whole life?!
Those things are handy. I have probably been working on cars 😂
Nice vid man. Did the same exact thing to my 01 tahoe but I replaced a lot of parts to for preventive maintenance and they were easy to get to. Didn’t have a lift tho so that made it fun
Smart move on the preventive maintenance. I will end up putting in some lower ball joints as well. The lift makes life much easier! I have done it without... sucks! Thanks for watching.
I like your videos thay are very informative and help full to me I live in the north I know about working on rusty vehicles
Thanks, good luck with the rust. It is by far the worst part of the job most of the time!
Freaking awesome as always!!!!
Thanks!
I believe that the "skid plate" is not actually a skid plate made of plastic, but rather an aero / cooling component that keeps the air from across the radiator up and into the engine bay. I believe the same thing about the under the bumper plastic it probably also reduces wind noise that GM found when testing the body in the wind tunnel. I am not certain but based on GM's style on other vehicles it's an educated guess. PS I am always a user of freedom units. :)
Could be but it is still fun to make fun of things I don't understand. lol
@@vehcor heck yea! I enjoy this kind of commentary a lot. You could be on PowerNation or some TV show and do a way better job than most automotive stuff I watch on TV
I think the plastic under body trays are splash guards, and the metal ones are bash plates.
I must admit I'm very impressed not only are you on course to finish the challenge but to carry on with a back injury which must have been received under fire in the garage for which you should be awarded the purple heart or a good back massage from Mrs Vehcor your choice. Having the boss clocking in for afternoon shift must have been a big help not only getting her hands dirty but telling you the best way to do the work right, I was less impressed with the Tape family, only one shows his face and soon lost the plot and was sent spinning, as for the other two well you would have thought that they would have stuck together. So Mr and Mrs Vehcor I'm looking forward to the next installment so keep the sun shining 🌞🌞🌞🌞.
Gary..... England 🇬🇧
The back has been an issue for years it is just getting worse though. Once upon a time this was a one day job for me. Now it takes a little longer. Thanks for the support! 🇺🇸
Good helper there, sure she is learning a lot and more than most Body Repair Schools would ever teach! Hands on is always the best! The amount of rust in some of those spots you took covers off of on the damaged frame made me wonder how this SUV would have been in another 5-6 years in the same conditions. Kind of scary and appreciate living out here on the West Coast! :-)
She picks things up pretty fast. She will probably never use any of this for a career but having a little extra knowledge never hurt anyone. The red truck would be considered good condition in these parts. Most don't look this good. They have rust starting in the 1/4s, fenders, rockers and doors. The frames get rusty but are generally not a problem for 20 or so years. After that, some tend to fold in half. Lol
Amazing! A man with a plan!
Outstanding video as usual
Thanks
No wonder these trucks cost so much. So many parts to make them I love your videos been watching you a long time you do such very good work
and I have not even taken the inside apart! Lots of stuff in there! LOL
Immortal Joe would approve of your tow hook choice 👍
Great to have a daddies helper
If anyone wants to know about a particular vehicle the repairers and vehicle wreckers know the most as they are the ones who shake their heads at poor mechanical repairs and see all the defects, it happens everywhere, the dealers take the credit as they are the professionals in the customers eyes which is all BS to what i have witnessed first hand. great job and informative as always
I lose a little more respect for the dealer techs everyday and there was not much left. So many are just in it for the money and not because they enjoy what they do. Thanks for watching.
Good job brather...love u ❤❤❤
love the videos
You don't see many Daughter's working with their Dad's especially on dirty jobs like this so, your a lucky fella 👍
Geez thats alot of progress! I'd be getting all mixed up with keeping the old parts and the parts to be used separated.....looks like a challenge!
That is why I put the parts in very different places. lol I had the same problems and learned to compensate.
Glad to see you wearing the support belt. Indeed the extra pair of hands are helpful, especially from a willing participant! Good work. Personally I don't mind the repetition. There aren't many so called "cookie cutter" jobs. Subtle differences,running production/design changes etc.
The belt stays with me now just in case on the long days. She was very helpful. I think she might help out more, she seemed to have fun. Thanks for watching!
Freedom unit's, I love it!!
"Murica!
Your bad ass and your helper too keep it up
Thanks, will do!
Excelente trabajo muy buenas tomas para kitar las piezas bendiciones
👍🏻
This is educational and funny.
Thanks
Superb to see young women getting involved in real work, in my experience once you get women involved everything improves, those i have seen at work are always excellent and it causes an.improvement in the men
Build your own team... Too tough bud ! Keep it up :)
Thanks, will do!
