From 91 to 96 when Gm brought back the big cars I thought the Oldes was the nicest.

Good job

Glad to see you're getting your boy into cars

Yeah these trucks are kind of money pits, but nothing like the 04 Silverado (NYS car) that I drove till the frame snapped and I threw the towel... After countless thousands of dollars and time in repairs and upgrades. I'll keep the old non-catalyst dentside 350 thanks

😎🏴‍☠️

i have to do a forklift wheel like this after the weekend. wish me luck

Well done SM, can't believe they let her go leaving the studs and nuts like that. Looking forward to seeing the next installment of old yeller too. 🤠

Just another note here Swede. I don't remember having to remove the hub assembly to replace studs. They usually have openings where the stud can be driven through the back and the new one pulled thru with an impact, lug and washer. Would that apply here by chance Internet People?

Must've taken them to a Les Schwab lmao

I use Tirerack's mobile installation... that way I can watch them like a hawk!

You are misinforming a lot of people on this subject. 10 years of tire service I can tell you that every lug or stud I ever broke was from taking the nut off and never putting it on. Because of this you would have to go back to the previous installer usually the owners that cross threaded the nut on the stud putting it on. This situation would automatically become my fault and my responsibility to repair because it broke when taking it off. The exact accusation that you make in this video. I can tell by looking this is exactly what happened to these lugs. Most likely previously rammed on with an impact and not started by hand as you correctly did in your video. Great repair job by the way.

I liked how you got rid of ALL of the lug studs and nuts and replaced with new! no tellin what stage of fucked up the others were and no reason to play Russian roulette with semi screwed up parts> here in North Carolina we had a company come in and buy out a VERY reliable trusted tire service chain and now they jacked their hourly rate to more than $150!!! AND ttheir work, service and attitude turned to garbage! Caveat emptor! (Latin for buyer beware!)

Why can't you name the company

First of all, tire breakers make minimum wage (or as close as possible), usually means untrained kids and temporary employees. Typically you find a problem created the last time the wheels were installed the next time you need to remove them. As far as mis-mached nuts, I worked in a university city with 7 auto parts stores and often couldn't find 5 correct lug nuts for common US cars, let alone 12 x 1.25 Japanese lug nuts. Still sending it without repairs is not cool, unless the customer specifically refused repairs.

Modern air impact guns can easily reach 1200lb. ft. I know that it’s more trouble but I used a torque wrench to finish tightening wheels after running the nuts up snug with an air gun. Due to the massive number of guys getting out of the automotive industry many places have hired warm bodies to try to fill the gaps. 80% of young graduates of automotive repair schools quit within the first two years after graduating. It’s got exponentially worse post-Wuhan lockdowns. Unfortunately it’s not going to get better anytime soon. The exodus of good people from the automotive industry has been an ongoing problem for at least 25 years and it hasn’t caused any significant change in how shops compensate good workers.

Had a tire shop ruin a set of original 5x5.5 Lincoln steelies, they uggadugga'd the nuts on so far the cones bottomed out on the face of the brake drums, completely flattening the center section of the steel wheels. Once loosened back out, the wheels were unsafe to use as they wouldn't clamp properly anymore. They ended up begrudgingly paying me enough for new wheels. Since factory replacement 5x5.5 steelies aren't cheap, I ended up buying a used set off a friend and used the rest of the reimbursement to get the old wheels repaired and refinished. Fortunately a couple years ago I found a small tire shop with good, honest folk. I've become a repeat customer and they have noticed that too, I've gotten good deals and discounts a few times!

And this is why I have been forced into being the competent journeyman mechanic that I am. Too often burned by allegedly professional outfits so now I look after myself my family and friends. I just need a bigger space then I can have more and do more.

As a mechanic for 45 years I've seen so much of this crap. Hey if you break it be a pro and fix it ! I recently had new tires put on my 2011 RAM. By PEP boys. The musta used the most powerful impact wrench ever made to my lug nuts ! Ended up breaking about half of the bolts to get them off. Took literally 2 days to get done ! I brought them all back to the same PEP boys and tossed them on the service counter and ask for Benny, the guy who did the tires so I could very politely tell him to take each and every nut and bolt and slowly as to no do major damage to his asshole place beach one as far up his ass he can get then, no use for penetration oil or motor oil is to be used. Then a lovely young woman, tiny and petite came up and smiles at me and announced she is Benny.........I just proceeded to walk out with my nuts in my hand, got to my truck and cried !

I've had my studs and lug nuts cross threaded before, but I've never seen anything like this....amazing, and obviously not in a good way. I once had a shop that left my oil drain plug loose and it was leaking bad. Took it back to get them to fix it and they acted like it was my fault. It's unbelievable what people do to others and think they can get away with it. Good job getting this fixed! I'd try to get some kind of restitution from that shop if i were them. Thanks for sharing!

This is why I never let anyone touch my car. Especially those shady ass mechanic.

This shop should be held accountable.

I used to stack up a bunch of washers and then impact a lug nut on and it would pull the new stud right on through....both ways get the the job done!

I absolutely love your videos and your handwork is truly admirable. I was wondering, do you sell any of these or are planning to in the future?

That old tube had a TR150 valve stem which was hand bendable, I like the old tubes more because they were heavier and are good to keep for things like swimming or snow tubing.

Was this stovalls in tennessees wrecker before?

What is that flap called in the back

24:40

Where did you find the tires?

That is with gobbes of diesel in so yah. And starting your tractor about the last thing ya'll do if it isn't leaking IS REMOVE IT AND THE RADIATOR. The only thermostat in the world without a bolt on top. And what in heavens name are you doing to the bushes?

We had the 71 Newport blue with black vinyl black int, great car, it had bucket seats, which was odd for a car that big.

Thanks. I enjoyed the video. 👍. I have a 1991 Olds 98.

I love 2OR, 22R, and 22RE, this vid is fantastic. New sub. Thanks for sharing

shitting because gets like 2 mpg

This looks similar to a 1990s Lincoln town car, especially the trunk areas and door panels! Did Lincoln and Oldsmobile share parts back then?!

When GM tried to revived the big car 91 to 96 with the Olds 98, Chevy Caprice, Buick Roadmaster and even the Bonneville I think the Olds was the nicest

Another enjoyable video and great fit with the Husky. Keep it up and stay silly. 🤪🤠👍

Thanks for doing this video man, you were very good at all aspects to me. You should continue doing this.. love it!!!

Hey where did you order the manual choke conversion parts from? Such as the bracket and screws I’m having the same issues with choke going limp causing the vehicle to high idle randomly. and would rather have the manual back! Thank you if you see this! And thank you for your video either way my friend!

I have never laughed so hard, man enjoying life and making it enjoyable to watch. Great up grade to the truck.

door no close because the lip is bent out. Use hammer mash lip flat agassint new tool kit

😁😁👍👍

Remember when they were getting rid of the split rim in the late 70s or the 80s?

Beautiful car. But, I would need A/C and cruise control.

Glad the propane tanks weren't there.....Oooo! 😬🔥 With those fancy casters, im suprised they didnt put fake white letters on the wheels. 😅😅 The toolbox looks great!! 👍👍

👍

"looks like they should fit" - what I thought of chinese engine mounts that I bought for my Mercury. Only a drill, angle grinder and different bolts were required to make them fit.
