i just want to say is watching you is a whole better entertainment then the garbage that's on cable tv keep up the great videos and the stories you tell.
Thumbs up to whoever sent him the porta power. That is one of the best tools ever invented. Still blows my mind how often the little puck comes in handy.
There is no limit to your ability Warren. No job challenge phases you out. Fabulous operator! My old dog was like yours, no matter what i was doing she would be right there beside me -- helping. Really miss that
Buddy you take on jobs that astound me. I'm about a week shy of my first full year as a heavy duty tech and I've aspired to be as multitalented as you. We all have our role models and because of intelligence, experience, and willingness to take on any job and see it through you are definitely my role model. I've watched you for a long time and I'll continue to watch you to the end.
Can’t believe people sit around and make negative comments to somebody who works hard and is providing useful information. You have to wonder what kind of life they have. Keep doing what you’re doing and love and forgive the idiots.
I always kept a sign in my SnapOn Tool Truck which said -This is not a non for profit business and I do own all the tools and truck you are looking at. You just can’t imagine the stupid shit people say to you when you are in business for yourself. I always got through the day by remembering that STUPID is for life and IGNORANCE is from just not knowing.
I like watching and listening to your videos. While I am not a mechanic it is interesting watching you track down the problems and solve them. Some of your comments crack me up. Thank you. Dennis
Some days, I'd like to lay in the sun and take a nap like ol' Oscar. Seems like having the pups with you brings a lot of enjoyment, and makes the time go by better.
Remember those who can't or won't work like you are the first to complain. Dogs like yours can help keep your sanity with all the work you do fixing other peoples mistakes and negligence. Don't change a thing.
A local shop back in the 70s had a sign in the service department. Out labor rates are $25/hr. $50/hr if you watch. $75/hr if you help. $100/hr if you worked on it first.
i used to drill truck frames with a hand drill also. pilot hole, step up to next size then the next size until i reached 5/8". it took forever! then i bought a milwaukee battery powered magnetic base drill with annular cutters for drilling frames...we do a fair bit of moving axles forward. i am looking at buying a "zip cut frame drill". it isnt cheap but it sure is easier to set up and use. however, it only uses traditional high speed drill bits. however, there are adapters available.
Ya know, for all the times I've seen a mag drill, this is the first time I've ever actually seen one be used before. Pretty cool process though, thanks for taking the time to film it for us.
That drill has to be a back saver. It's too bad that you didn't get all the parts back from whomever you lent it to. Great video. Thanks for taking the time to make the video and share it. Those thumbs down must be from all the mechanics who couldn't find the blown fuse and rubbed wire.
A dog companion is the best company. A scritch behind the ears, a bit of treat and they don"t tell you that you are dumb for trying to put a 5/8 socket on a 7/8 nut.
I bought a Jancy Slugger in 1992 when they first came out. We had a magnet drill but it used regular drill bits and couldn't hold the annular cutters. It was after the owner of the company died and the guy that was running it didn't want to buy it. I offered to buy the drill if they bought the cutters and I drilled the holes for $1 each and kept the cutters. I like being able to drill next to another hole which is something you can't do with a regular drill. You can drill 5 holes in the time it takes to drill one. I drilled frames, wear plates and forklift forks. We had forklifts that had bolt on forks. Replacement forks from the manufacturer cost $1200 each. We could buy a $400 pair of forks and drill them in about an hour each. I let one other guy run it one time. He got the cord caught in the cutter, ruining the cord, cutting the power so the drill spun, broke the cutter and two of the feed handles.
Warren, I could care less about the mechanics, I watch for the conversation and the dogs. Truth be said, mainly the dogs. LOL Was heartbroken when Trouble got hurt and ran off. Glad to see your back isn't keeping you down to much, be careful and safe out in the non snow season.
Never fails as soon as you have something to say someone starts calling you... would have been too ironic if my phone started ringing while posting this comment LOL
As curiosity has gotten the better of me on this video. Besides the learning experiences from drilling and mounting brackets for this sleeper, why couldnt he just buy the proper size sleeper for the truck since the mounting brackets for them are still there on the truck. If you pause the video a half second past 25:11 you can clearly see the old mounting brackets for the original sleeper the previous owner didnt remove them.
I was in culinary school when I was 50, the instructor said something I had never heard, "a pint is a pound the world around", it is closer to 7.8 pounds a gallon, but it works for estimating. So 150 times 8 is 1200 pounds.
There are those geniuses all over this great green earth. I never really worried about armchair mechanics.... I know the torture you go through first, mentally and then, physically. You're doing a fine job while entertaining the wanna be's on You Tube.....the know it all watchers not the do-er. ! You sir, are the do-er.
love the channel, your an animal, in a good way. Hey maybe its time for an apprentice, pass along that knowledge and someone to be around, to help you be safe, its a dangerous deal you do all by yourself off your ass and on your feet, outta the shade and into the heat, be safe
can you do a truck toolbox tour and talk about your tools and how you choose what you buy. be a great help to someone getting into the field as you seem to know what your doing compared to most of the idiots on youtube. thanks
I know you know this but a lot of negative comments come from people who are just trolling the Internet just ignore them and listen to people who act like or sound like they know what they’re doing you know what you’re doing for sure.
I used to lend out tools to friends and ended up loosing so much stuff or got it back damaged or missing bits, as these people have no investment in the tool, so they just don't care. I now don't bother.
A mag drill won't work on aluminum, had a 1972 Autocar that had and aluminum frame, 335 cummins 5 speed with 5 speed over 3 speed auxiliary keep you busy with 3 sticks to row.
In regards to the stack wagon, friends truck with 7.3l power stroke sat at mechanic for 3 months. They could not find problem and ate 1k in parts. In a few hours I found that the Exhaust Back pressure sensor was bad. It kept the ecm from booting up when connected. Replaced sensor and truck runs, communicates with PC with no codes. Btw I am not an automobile mechanic by trade.
@@westerntruckandtractorrepa1353 Google has chosen the anti American progressive route. duckduckgo.com/ is a good alternative. A search and forums is what got me going in the direction I took and added in some common sense and maybe just a bit of luck.
Oscar is so over worked there you should have had him ride the sleeper over that would have made a good video. What a dog keep up the good work there Oscar 😁🤣😉
Those pilots make life easier. They are not expensive so quit whining and get a couple. There are several sizes as they change with the size of the cutter. I own one of those units. They make punching holes in frame rails so much easier. The pilots make lining up the center of the hole much easier too. I know it sucks when thing don't all come home when someone else uses something, That is simply life.
love ur dogs-don't change for nobody. now i think i would of made the owner come drain his full tanks into barrels for ya. then he could of pumped his fuel back in when u was done. just my 2 cts-ok.
Man is there anything you cant do??? Had to laugh everytime i seen oscar. ive got a dog just like him that they always get comfy right where your trying to work and dont move for nothing lol.
