Today's video is another day at work! We are a full service auto salvage business and I try to buy as many 99-07 GM Trucks as I can. This 2003 Silverado went cheap! All in, I was just over $800 including delivery, which seemed like a huge win at the time.
WELL! The auction is a gamble. I did not know mileage. I did not know if it would run, or what was damaged or how bad. I bid based on seeing the rear axle, and a few other parts I can sell. Most of the time, the gamble pays off. I've been doing this long enough where I can way the risks and worst case its not a loss, but not a huge win. Today we dive into this truck to see how I did. What survived, what didn't, what I can sell and what I can't.
I really hope you enjoyed this video. As always, I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism.
Catch you on the next one!
-Eric

That's the key. He turned his stash house into a business and as long as it turns a profit, she's happy, and he gets to keep buying dumb shit and hoard parts and cars he doesn't want her to know about That's what we refer to in the business, as a win-win

@mgiblonski4318 3 месяца назад

Hey Eric. You asked for feedback on what people want to see. In my humble opinion, I think the key to your ongoing success on RU-vid is to keep mixing it up.....don't let your channel stagnate, and also don't be afraid to think outside the box for content ideas.

@carver_g9708 3 месяца назад

I love how committed you are to fully carrying out whatever the joke is and taking much farther than the average person to make it extra funny.

@johnforster5312 3 месяца назад

I'd actually love to see some videos where you take a crashed vehicle and film the tear down on it, showing which parts are junk, which parts are good and the process of dismantling a wrecked vehicle, especially when considering damaged bodywork or running gear etc. Seeing how engines are constructed by deconstructing them is great and I'd imagine that the same would be true for full vehicles. It could even be a series of videos on one particular vehicle, until the remains are scrapped.

@Wreck-Gar 2 месяца назад

I'd like to see this process too. No-one seems to go to that length at the moment, they just list the stuff that might be salvageable off the top of their heads. Then the next episode is another car 😞

I love this manual everything except the 3 speed automatic transmission. It fits your model of a totalled car brought back to clean unbranded title and like new quality. New a/c system all new! New struts all 4. Four new tires too. I keep it full of gas and clean oil, transmission fluid etc. It is a keeper! Thanks for trying to salvage the truck. I enjoyed watching!! If more people checked and filled their oil we may not have so much fun with your weekly tear downs. Love your excellent entertainment!!❤
