Sam seriously warms my heart. Life can be such a pain in the rear at times but when I see him and how genuine he is, I can’t help but smile. I hope you all know what that man does for some of us.
This channel to me was 25% cleetus, 75% James. Cleetus was just time killing until we could get more James. James is around like 5% of the time now, which kinda sucks.
my dad is about twice my age. a couple years ago he doesnt feel older mentally than he did when he was my age. he of course granted the aging. as they say, "boys dont grow up, they just get older"
20:15 Thank you for showing Mr Sam as the absolute legend and gift to this world, he is such a great man from everything I see. He is always smiling and having a great time, and all you guys accepted him soooo quickly as a part of the family. I am sure he has some chores at home if Ms. Sam is still with him but I bet she understands he is a jewel and needs to be seen by everyone.
You should end every video this month with Sam doing a burnout in a different one of the cars in your fleet. Love seeing Sam smile, reminds me so much of my Grandpa.
OG crew member James George has tough competition with comedy driving skills and and mechanic skills but James is a sneaky bugger he's got a few tricks up his sleeve to win anyting😂
@@bigduphusaj162 That rant seemed personal. Honestly, if you read what Jefferino said and I quote, "Tech sessions with James are great!." All he did was simply imply tech stuff involving James is great. No one aside from YOU called James the "tech guy." James doesn't HAVE to be a tech guy for good content to come of it. Maybe lay off the finger pointing before going around literally shit talking people for no reason at all. The world would be a better place if people weren't so hostile all the fucking time. Fk sakes man...
We need more James in these videos. Watching him build his truck motor was fun. The grease polka dots on his forehead from cleaning the valves was epically hilarious 🤣
@jdog3690 Yes, Sam is a great guy who we should all inspire to be like. If you take care of your health you will be the same person at 70 as you were at 30. Poor health is the distraction that ages us and takes us away from the things we love. So not to worry, you'll be fine if you take care of your health. I use to smoke 4 plus packs of Red Marboros and drink 10-plus beers every day. I cut out the cigarettes and drink maybe 10 beers a week now. It's working out much better for me.
bro its crazy i was just thinking the same thing. He has come a long way from being the shy one to giving us full explanations and giving us timelapses. All around a great partner for ol Cleet.
Sam needs a burnout car! PS- My friend here in Mt. Washington was the one who won the turbo. Can't wait for him to put the upgrade on the car! Car is a new edge mustang with a coyote swap, 6r80, and an on3 kit custom fabbed. Car made 720rwhp on gate at 11lbs. Jacob will be sure to keep you posted, brother!
@jacob no doubt! He just got the car roughly 2-3 weeks ago, so there's definitely some things he wants to change and has already started doing, but this will just help further it along
You should give the camera privileges to each of the guys for the month to get their perspective of what its like there. A little different content for each day. Id love a video of just Sam talking and showing how the shop is from his end.
Have always wondered what Sam's family thinks about him being on the channel and everything, I'm sure at first they might've been apprehensive but I'm sure once they saw how loved he is by everyone they're probably all for it
I'd like to see a second attempt. Get the car up on four jack stands so it won't starve the tail shaft in the trans, and give the rear end a better shot at making it.
@Kylan Cook well I mean to be fair crown vics aren't really ment for that either, but it does make sense that it would probably destroy the dyno before the car breaks, because they are really only ment for short bursts of power, not extended periods of high speeds.
I tuned into the livestream at the right time to see you guys send the Vic out in a blaze of glory. Not gonna lie the livestream was also great white noise for sleeping lol.
Ford's in general. I worked in the wreaking yard during cash for clunkers and the dealerships couldn't kill the engines with the liquid glass in the oil. They would come to the yard and fire right up and we would drive them around. Balanced yet loose engines is why they keep on ticking lol
Sam is a hot rodder to the core man. It's such an experience to see a smile like that on a old mans face. That guy has wisdom beyond words and I love seeing him on the channel. Also cool cars and all that. Sam makes em shiny.
It's so awesome how good y'all treat Sam. We all know none of us will live forever and y'all are making every day count for him and putting smiles all over his face. I've always loved your videos but watching how kind you are to not only Sam but everyone around you it makes me not want to miss a single video. God bless y'all and keep the freedom ripping brother 🇺🇲🇺🇲 🚗💨🛻💨💨🚗💨💨💨🇺🇲🇺🇲
I think you should mount something from the Crown Vic on the wall in the workshop to commemorate its service, like they did with the indestructible Toyota pickup on the old Top Gear.
@neilbrown82 with this economy there is no more $1500 cars . I think it would be a challenge. Give all the guys 5k and a week to find a truck then have a list of challenges
I agree. No better way to end day 2 of the month of freedom, Sams smile after that burnout could make the most hardened, bitter person crack a smile. Bummer the crown vic didn't last, I wasn't expecting the trans to be the weak point.
That's the weakest link the engine is almost indestructible those old 4.6s and most of fords 2v modulars particularly the 4.6 and 6.8 V10 can take all the abuse and not fase it
Those time lapse one-on-one segments like James did in here, and Tye has done with cage fab, and Zach has done with wiring and engine rebuilds -- those are awesome to watch. I know that's a lot of individual work for the guys to film themselves and talk to the camera, and I can't imagine the effort to edit. But that could be some quality content for the Month of Freedom.
Sucks the crown vic didn't make it longer than it did! Can't wait to hear James truck fire up with the new set up and the look on Sam's face after the burnout was priceless! Would love to see him do more burnouts!
This is the type of content RUclips was created for! Keep it up fellas!!!! Yall should have rigged up a catch pan with a pump that circulated the trans fluid back in through the filler. Love it
Halfway through the video I had to pause to just say...THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE! Please if you have headphones listen to the glory of the sound of this motor every time he puts more trans fluid in sheeh
That crown Vic was an absolute warrior! 100 miles an hour for how many hours straight? I say some respect is in order...And the grueling punishment towards the end with manual spray-on power adders! 👍🤠👍
Dude.....that was the most tragic car death I've ever seen 😂 I straight up felt bad for the car at one point. It just wanted to go but you wouldn't let it 😂
Hell yeah INDY !! I’m from 574 IN like 3 hours north of Indy. I’m hoping to make it out this weekend. Been always wanting to come to one of your events & now would be the chance lol
Awesome video as always Cleeter! Just wanted to say that I appreciate when James films what he’s working on as well. Getting a bit more of an in depth hands on perspective is cool! As a fellow gear head and fellow burnout aficionado I love this channel!
The only thing better than a Jackstand build montage with 'Come Tomorrow' sound tracking it, is one where he breaks it in two to show you a bent valve and gets soot all over his forehead. My Dad would regularly show up at the dinner table with a big old streak of grease on his head, and Mum would have to point it out. He's pushing 90 now, and I'm old enough to be James' dad, but it's nice to know that some things aren't changing, and are the same separated by a helluva lot of miles.
Only 30 turbos left... :)
Try bracket racing
Helll yeeeahhh brother
I’m going to try in 5 to 10 days from now! Big brain it!
Probably would have been safer to run the vic at 69mph :P
neto
Sam seriously warms my heart. Life can be such a pain in the rear at times but when I see him and how genuine he is, I can’t help but smile. I hope you all know what that man does for some of us.
yeah I do because I'm not that far behind him and all I hope for is to still be moving and having fun like he is.
id actually love to see a teardown of the crown vic engine now and assess the damage
I'd like to see how a stock ls engine would do.
Mf'er is going to be welded together 😂
I bet it still runs perfectly once it has cooled off
@@ashleypierce2196 except for the head gaskets lol
My thoughts exactly
I totally lost it at Cleeter spraying brake cleaner and Zach spraying nitrous in the intake at the same time - and the engine STILL didn't die! 😂😂😂
Redneck wet kit
It may have happened because the trans was at an angle. If the car was on four jack stands, it may have had a different result
Why doesn't this comment have more likes?
I remember that being an issue with the local dude I knew with big wheels on his vic. So makes sense.
they only have one Jackstand though
Many parts like the axles also need lateral Gs and movement, there is no true good way of running a car without putting it on the road.
@@ZLT_90 cause the comment was posted when the video was 😂
Need more videos of James just talking about stuff and working on stuff. Makes me miss when neighbor and Ruby were first built.
Oh the nostalgia, remember the story of ruby getting struck by lightning?
I miss the older videos where the showed more of the work going Into the cars
Yeah he could put it on the seconds channel. But I imagine James already has enough on his plate.
This channel to me was 25% cleetus, 75% James. Cleetus was just time killing until we could get more James. James is around like 5% of the time now, which kinda sucks.
YES!! Him working on engines and talking about them is like asmr for men
Absolutely love how Sam is out here, living his best life in retirement. ✋🏼😌👌🏼
Sam is literally a 25 year old in a old guy's body. Bringing him on the team was the best thing that cleetus has done
my dad is about twice my age. a couple years ago he doesnt feel older mentally than he did when he was my age. he of course granted the aging. as they say, "boys dont grow up, they just get older"
The older you get the more you realize we are all just a bunch of kids trying to fake it.
Your comment had 99 likes. I almost didn’t click because who doesn’t love Sam and 99s. Lol😂
@@revredbeard3289 cause 99s are life
Inside every 60 year old is a 20 year old wondering what happened. Our bodies age, but we think the same.

4.6 is a marvel of engineering. Found some sparkle in the oil of my '97 town car, not worried at all anymore
You should end every video this month with Sam doing a burnout in a different one of the cars in your fleet. Love seeing Sam smile, reminds me so much of my Grandpa.
To the top you go, hopefully
Yes be cool as a ending on every video
I 2nd this
Agreed. Think most of us miss our grandpas smile, so we love seeing it in Sam. To the top you go.
That smile filled me with so much happiness.
Good seeing James do his own segment on the channel again. Tech sessions with James are great!

@@bigduphusaj162 you and your name is proof of people taking things way too seriously. 🤣
@Big duphus AJ agreed he even sprays fuel injected vehicles with brake clean which is absolutely pointless.
Jacks the man ,,,!!!
Obviously brake cleaner is # 01 , when starting new racing engines.
I use Engine Starer fluid to clean my brakes.
We need more James in these videos. Watching him build his truck motor was fun. The grease polka dots on his forehead from cleaning the valves was epically hilarious 🤣
How can you not love Sam. His youthful energy gives me hope for my older years. Always puts a smile on my face to see him having fun
Truth is, Sam don't need us, we need Sam! 😁
Smooth Sam making Cleetus nervous 😂

It was actually really cool watching the live feed when it failed and seeing you guys recording
right? i was watching when the fire broke out holy crap haha seeing this angle is a bit scarier holy shit!
I missed it!? 😢
Agreed! Got to watch the carnage on the live feed too
Right?!?! I was there for it too I felt the excitement lol
@@X3R0D3D "Get the marshmallows, James!"
That "Can we change the transmission with it running?" .... *GOT ME GOOD!!!* 🤣🤣🤣
The smile on Sam’s face after that burnout 😂
Absolutely love that guy!
Sam is the man.. lol
Sam is the best
I love that Ty, Zack, and James are filming their own segments now. That's sick.
Best part about the channel they manage it so well!
James is so confident behind the camera now, time for more of his own little segments
bro its crazy i was just thinking the same thing. He has come a long way from being the shy one to giving us full explanations and giving us timelapses. All around a great partner for ol Cleet.
Sam doing a burnout just puts a smile on everybody's face.
Sam needs his own burnout car.
Agreed I was gonna comment the same thing
Yes
More like a show car with all the chrome
Omg So Much Yesssss to this Comment
I love Sam 😂
Sam never disappoints! Cleet: "give it a hit!" Sam: *lays the wood* 😁
Last time he told him that Sam showed him a 130mph pull in the marauder😂
You guys should do a engine and transmission & rear end tear down on the crown Vic. Love to see the results
Absolutely. Need an AWE-topsy.
Bring out the lab coats!!
I’m thinking something in the transmission started seizing and the added load overheated the engine
Sam needs a burnout car!
PS- My friend here in Mt. Washington was the one who won the turbo. Can't wait for him to put the upgrade on the car! Car is a new edge mustang with a coyote swap, 6r80, and an on3 kit custom fabbed. Car made 720rwhp on gate at 11lbs. Jacob will be sure to keep you posted, brother!

Can I get the old tursbki for my 08 3v???

He talks about his family somewhat on coopers podcast.
@@hazyredeyes you wouldn't happen to have a link to that episode would you?
@@LewdnCutejust type cooper bogetti mr Sam into your search
im sure that as family, as long as he's happy, they're happy
Sam’s now a Celebrity,
Don’t think so ???
I’m from Coquitlam BC. And have ordered some Sam polish.
That ear to ear grin on sams face after that burnout is priceless.
Freakin Sam!! What a legend. Dude makes me smile after a terrible day. I hope I'm half as happy as he is when I'm his age.
For this month of freedom, it would be awesome to see Sam end the videos with a burnout in something different every day.
%100
Hell yeah brother!
Great idea!
Murica!
Definitely needs to happen! 😊
Good thing you were there when that fire happen being that close to the gas pump might have been a big hell yeah brother!
It's so awesome to see a man like Sam get to enjoy his life like he his having fun with cars n a great group of guys.
Always a good day when Sam does a burn out.
Watching till the end to see Sam do a burnout is totally worth it. 👌
The smile on Sam after that tire roasting, so freaking awesome.
Good ol 4.6! Amazing. I wanna see one of those “20,000” mile oil change interval oils and a good trans flush Put in with a fan and see how it does.
I'd like to see a second attempt. Get the car up on four jack stands so it won't starve the tail shaft in the trans, and give the rear end a better shot at making it.
yep same can’t end like this it just can’t!
Need a car treadmill.
@GamerDrive could put it on a dyno and see which lasts longer
@nickarganbright7218 dynos aren't meant for that, gale banks tried that with a diesel and it smoked the dyno lol
@Kylan Cook well I mean to be fair crown vics aren't really ment for that either, but it does make sense that it would probably destroy the dyno before the car breaks, because they are really only ment for short bursts of power, not extended periods of high speeds.
I love how James and ol cleet still together after all this time still making content together and stuff.
Love seeing the crew grow to
James is such a stand up guy I really enjoy him and his time on camera. 16:57
I tuned into the livestream at the right time to see you guys send the Vic out in a blaze of glory. Not gonna lie the livestream was also great white noise for sleeping lol.
Right!!! I actually fell asleep last night to it!😂
If that smile on Sam's face doesn't make you smile you are a soulless demon. Such a happy dude!
Sam living his best life is such a pleasure to see, the smile on his face can only make you smile back
You know Sam is a legend when he is the only guy that Cleetus has to tell to slow down 😂😂
Every single time
Cleatus needs to grow some big man balls and let that mad man Sam loose 🎉😂
🤣 right? He knows sam will just throw down if nobody tells him to stop. They gotta get him a burnout car. I wanna watch Sam win the comps.
*"We can't afford your health insurance Sam!!"*
😅
Boomers are nothing to mess with! Ask the X-ers... Cleet is in uncharted territory.
Best ending in a LONG TIME Sam is the man!! him doing a burnout should be the start of every burnout comp
Watching Sam do that burnout made me smile ear to ear and get goosebumps ❤😁
Got enough time left in May to see if a ranger can last longer then 30 hours!!
2nd this
I need to see this now
Find a 4wd version and spin all 4
100%
@Countryfucius doubt. Lol especially if it's a v6.
All the different content from planes to blowing up cars, racing, and working on the cars! It is just gold!!
sam is honestly a chad.
freakin love him and def would love to have him as my grandpa, well, my second grandpa,
Seeing Sam do the burnout saves every thing
Sam doin a burnout at the end is priceless. What an absolute legend!!!
😂 the brake clean and nitrous combo had me dying. A "Florida Man Wet Shot"
Damn... that smile on Sam's face after the burnout is infectious!! So friggin awesome!
I will say it every damn video. Sam is a gem a one of a kind. He's such a humble man. We love you, Sam!!🤘
Who else can sit here and listen to Jackstand go over engine stuff. I learned a lot from him early on Cleeter and him days.
I couldn’t think of a better place than right next to the fuel tanks for a fire to start 😂
EDIT: sarcasm
Was scratching my head at that one.
you must be new here😂
Did you not see the firetruck? With a firetruck, there are no rules.
It's like adding an additional rotation in the high dive events at the Olympics - extra points for added difficulty.
Anything for clicks/likes/views. Just a matter of time before one of them is seriously injured
Those modular engines are almost impossible to destroy, they just keep on going. Gotta love Ford!
It's because they are very well balanced. 281 ford's and 287 dodges are the best small V8
engines.
Now if they could get the tranny the same.......and I speak from Grand Marquis experience.
