Well the only issue is the most important parts(transmission/engine) are pretty likely to fail when you get into high miles, so you’re risking putting this work in and then needing to buy a new engine. I’ve never seen a cheap transmission, but you can get a 5.3l for under 1k, so maybe not such a terrible cost

I don't think you realize what a service you do for the community. The amount of effort you put into making each video thorough, informative, and entertaining without any bias is not unnoticed. Thank you for all of the videos you do
I love these new project videos, which go back to your roots. Now, you can showcase all those skills that you developed through your extensive testing.
@@kaveman_4242 what point are you trying to make. Should I just praise every RUclipsr? There's enough simps around here as it is. Healthy criticism never harmed anybody.

Single handedly, the absolute best and only review/informational channel on RUclips that anyone should ever watch. I don't know how you can do so much and also have time to respond to comments. Your channel is simply incredible. Companies are probably dying to get you to join their product R&D teams. Keep doing everything the same way, and you will continue to amaze people! Take care.
Do not change anything about the format, its what made this channel what it is. No bs, no clickbait titles, no long intros, no 15 min inconsequential stories before getting to the point...yup. Btw, HF has brake caliper clamp for $7, which works like charm, if you want to forgo the C clamp. Suggestion: Showdown of can openers, manual and electric ones.
The only thing I hate about channels like Scotty Kilmer's is his many clickbait titles. The sane precise titles on Farm Project is one of the many things I love about the channel.
@@SIXPACFISH he doesn't pander to the youtube algorithm or let himself be "influenced" by sponsors or youtube. It's rare to find a successful youtuber that has kept their moral compass in the right direction.
@@SIXPACFISH When I'm not looking up some info I think I might need from him, I block his channel (have a browser extension) because of the flood of clickbait thumbnails in search results or related videos.

You sir are a gem. Please please don’t change anything. The reason I watch your content is the large amount of testing information presented in a concise manner without word salad/marketing. Thank you for everything you do.
DO NOT CHANGE A THING! I absolutely love that you pack so much in a short amount of time, keeps the interest alive. You're doing absolutely amazing as you always have. Full of information and unbelievably thorough with everything.
Based on the cost and low build quality of new vehicles these days that vehicle was definitely worth the cost and effort to keep it going, don't change anything on your channel, it's one of the best on RUclips.
stop spreading misinformation, newer cars are built way fucking better then older vehicles were, especially compared to some piece of shit GM product, the real issue is that everyone on the road today is a fucking idiot who refuses to do proper maintenance, i see way too many people who refuse to use synthetic oil because "HUR DE DUR, MY DADS DADS GRANDPAS DAD SAID SYNTHETIC OIL BAD, SO I ONLY USE DINOSAUR OIL." then proceed to go way too long between oil changes (you can do 5000 miles on synthetic, NOT conventional, conventional oil is 3000 miles MAX, no matter how you drive, syn oil can do 10,000 if the vehicle is designed for that, AND you drive all highway miles, if you do any city driving at all, you do not quality for regular maintenance schedule, and MUST follow the severe service schedule, which is 5000 miles between service) and then their motor has some major issue, and then that same fucking idiot is all like "FUCKING *BRANDNAMEHERE*" MAINTAIN YOUR CAR CORRECTLY, AND IT WILL LAST LONGER THEN ANY OF THOSE OLD PILES OF JUNK, GUARANFUCKINGTEED (except chrysler and all their sub brands, but they've always been unreliable pieces of trash, so that hasn't actually changed either)
Yeah, money well spent. That’s the best generation of Chevrolet SUV ever made, and one of the best LS platform engines. Smart man to keep it alive. It’ll outlast newer ones.
I agree. I love that there is no long ass preamble or bloat in your videos, and you get right to the point, with little to no fat to trim. Other channels tend to become an aggressive waste of viewers time because they are trying to please the youtube algorithm. If you want to experiment for your own sake, change things up, feel free, but since you're asking, don't change.
I'm Dutch, so English is not my native language. I have 0 issues with following everything you say. This is the perfect speed for this type of content. Thank you ❤
Can we just appreciate the incredible camera angles he got of all this work? I'm cursing and smacking my head just doing an oil change, forget finding a way to record it 😂 WELL DONE SIR
Do not slow down. Your narration makes it easy to follow along with the fast speed of the video. You're doing a fantastic job with how you present your videos.
I don't usually comment on RUclips but I must say, you sir are a work horse. There is almost no one on this platform who can match your level of knowledge and skill that you put in your videos. Thank you for teaching me so much about cars and also helping me save a lot of money in the process :)
Honestly, don't slow down. Part of what makes your channel amazing is just how much content you're able to get through to us in such a short amount of time because you don't mess around with overexplanations or stalling. I can watch a 5-minute video of yours and learn just about as much as if it was an hour long video of someone else's. You're one of the first channels I subscribe to on RUclips and I'm honestly glad I stumbled upon you because you're one of the most humble and consistently high quality RUclips content creators that hasn't sold out yet.
I think the speed at which you do your videos is perfect. You’re not here to teach us step-by-step but to show how it can be done and you hit all the high points so I think you’re doing perfect.
I just watched this and didn’t realize I’ve been watching for 25 minutes! Keep it the same! Anybody who has worked on cars knows that was a TON of work. Good job!
Pacing is perfect! I watch cause it's a ton of actual useful information but instead of being and hour long video that drags on you condense it to a palletable 20 something minutes. Love the Chanel
Bro, as a master tech with 20 years of experience, you did EVERYTHING exactly how I would (minus the paint on the knuckle and the body work). This is fantastic information for beginners and those that want to maintain a high millage vehicle. My F-150 (08 Lariat crew cab w/ heavy duty tow package) is at 580,000 miles because I maintain it as well as you have on your burban. Keep up the good work my man.
And NO! Don't change a thing! Your energy is contagious, and you give all the information one needs, with no shortcuts, or stupid music or anything. Best channel on RUclips! Time flies when watching these vids- I watch these vids even if I'm not interested in what's being tested/shown!
Agreed. We were just rewatching the Honda Civic video from a while back today. I was searching for a battery charger video earlier and couldn't find one. Can you please do a video on them? Not looking for a trickle charger or maintainer, but an actual charger.
Perfect!! Dont change a thing! As a mechanic I also loved seeing you clean everything properly and not just slap new parts into rusted shit that can't possibly seat properly! Keep up the great work Todd! We all appreciate your hard work and effort!
I’m glad I have my dad in my life and he taught me all these things. But I’m just as grateful for you because people who didn’t have fathers or good fathers can watch you and learn everything. I love watching your videos, even stuff like this that’s simple to me, to see how well you do teaching today’s youth. You sir are a scientist, technician, and a professor.

Slooper, that's awesome. Quick story..I bought a brand new Lexus LS 400 the year they came out. I loved it. I brought it to the dealer for routine service and asked the service manager how long it would last if I kept up on the routine stuff. He brought me deep into their shop and showed me my exact car purchased a month earlier than mine with 301,000 miles on it. It belonged to a traveling salesman who didn't fly. He said the car drives like new. I told him that sounded far fetched. He pulled it out and told me to take it out for 15 minutes. (with the owner's permission) I'll be danged if it wasn't just as tight feeling and quiet as mine that had less than 50K on it. Toyota makes amazing stuff. Your story reminded me of that so I figured I'd share. I sold mine at 75K and did okay. It held a lot of value back then. Cheers and here's to 500K.
doing this for living so here are some quick tips 1. block sand putty with coarse grit 2. fine sand with orbial sander finer grit 3. prime using high build 2k primer 4.block primer 5. scuff(remove the shine of the clearcoat) the whole panel or part of it (if there are body lines and you want to polish the blend later on) 6. degreese 7. paint and clear 2 coats should be sufficient 8.,enjoy ur work
What finally sent my 2008 f150 to the junk yard was: 150,000 miles, tires very old and possibly a safety issue. Brake warning light that just stayed on with no problems. ALL the lines started blowing out, gas line repair, brake line band aid repairs, power steering lines blew out one after another, the whole steering system rusted so bad it all just needed replaced. Torn seat, then a crack developed in the trans housing that marked my spot and went though a quart a month..and last...rusted rear wheel wells limiting the possible value ever of the truck. repairs to be safe would cost more than the truck would EVER be worth. Drove it to the junkyard and got $425 for it.
You’re amazing you did $10 k worth the repairs on your suburban in 27 min. At regular shop rates most people would have scraped it. Love your videos don’t change a single thing. Canadian fan
Probably more than 10k, suspension parts, shops are unwilling to press out the rubber bits, so they force you all new parts. I gave up that same model Suburban 14 yrs ago the maintenance just wasn't worth it
The fast pace is one of the best features of your productions. We can see how thorough you are without watching your tests in real time. Thank you for this valuable public service!
I love these repair videos, keep up the awesome work. My dad passed away about 5 years ago and this helps fill in the void being alongside him doing home/auto repairs. Have a High Life for dad! 🍻
My condolences to you! I lost my dad two years ago...he was a wealth of practical knowledge and is sorely missed. He was a jack of all trades and master of none as he would often say. Let your dads know you love them and appreciate them folks!
Corporate sponsorship and advertising are what has ruined the internet. Are you old enough to remember the internet before corporate america got their grubby hands on it? Project farm knows that sponsorships would destroy his channel. Just like it has destroyed the internet.
I did pretty much everything that you just did about 4 years ago to my ’95 Z71. What a difference it makes. Only difference is it took me about 1.5 weeks to accomplish what you did in 25 minutes 😂. My truck has 238k miles. Bought it new. Love your calling. And that is one good looking suburban.
I literally just said the same thing. I have a 2001 GMC Yukon with 320,000 miles. I've owned it since 150,000 and I've neglected it because it needs a fuel pump, but it got me through some hard times (divorce) and great times (meeting the woman who is now my wife). It deserves to be shown the love that it showed me all those years. I'll be ordering the parts this week!
What a concept, replacing parts that aren't completely worn out. No wonder you've gotten over 300,000 miles out of that Suburban. Keep up the good work.
I've been watching your videos for years. I think the one aspect that keeps me coming back is you move at the speed of a military training video. Fast as possible, while covering every important point. You do great work man!
No one can watch a 25 min video these days. Including me. But wow I watched this and it didn’t feel like 25 minutes. I think it’s due to your action packed content that kept changing quickly and your video editing. Kept me engaged to the video.
Please do not change a thing, most people can keep up and understand. Its nice that i dont need to 1.25x or 1.5x your stuff. This is one of the best channels on youtube. I watch every video. I dont even have an interest or use for what you're reviewing sometimes, but I'm still gonna watch, be entertained, and educated. This is a wonderful channel and i hope you're making a very good living off doing it. You deserve every good thing that you have and that comes your way. You provide a service that makes the world a better place.
The fast pace is amazing for my ADHD and your exquisite scientific process is critical for dependable results. Never change anything about how you make videos. I'm begging you!!! 😫
My wife actually walked in the kitchen while I was making some supper and watching your video and she said he talks fast. I said it's because he's trying to get a lot of information and efficiently as possible. I love the pace. Don't change a thing.
This is amazing! I just bought a 2003 f250 5.4L 2 valve with 375k km. Motor is solid! There is a lot of play in the steering so I will have to look at getting the front end done. This was great to watch. 🙏🏽
No need for change. This channel is keeping me awake while watching. this would be a 6 hour video on many other channels, but here it is right to the bone 25 min. No waste of internet here.
Thanks for showing everyone that old can be gold. My Audi has 308k miles and never left me stranded. Regular fluid changes on all of the 3 differentials, the transmission, and of course the engine oil, and brake fluid have been a huge help and never had to replace anything major. Just belts, a couple pulleys, brakes, and fluids and it's happy.
Your pace is perfect. I know I can't do everything you do, even if I had the tools so I'm not looking at it as instructional videos. But your channel is one of the very few that provides insight/knowledge. I salute you!
I have more respect for this youtube channel than any other at this point. You've stayed true to yourself and your viewers this whole time without selling out. You haven't let popularity and success corrupt you. Your pace is engaging and fine for the majority of your audience. Please don't change. Ignore the haters. They do not represent the majority.
I don't see how people can get bored whilst watching your videos.theyre so informative and unbiased as well as interesting. a must watch channel for me and your other fans here in the UK.
I love seeing an old car fixed instead of dumped. Great way to protect the environment, reduce waste, and save some cash. Win all around. Keep the great videos coming!
I love the way you do your videos at high-speed like that. It gives us a lot of information without using a lot of our time and we can always rewind if we need to. And thank you very much for doing all these videos for us
My 06 Chevy suburban has the 8.1L V8, is a southern COMPLETELY rust free truck with 392k on it. Runs GREAT. Woolwax/fluid film and preventative maintenance will make this a 1M mile truck.
@@ljbrandt500 a lanolin based, non toxic undercoat that you apply yearly. It is self healing, and oozes into all the books and crannies. It is similar to fluid film but thicker. Both can be had in their natural color or in black. There are shops that apply it but you can buy DIY kits as well. MANY RUclips videos on both. HIGHLY recommend.
Right behind ya with 285k on my '02 2500 w/8.1l . Bought it new in '02, window sticker '$38,000' w/leather, all options. New trucks, $90k??? Not worth it, I'm keeping my 8.1L 'workhorse'
My 2003 Toyota Highlander is my daily driver. It has 409,xxx miles with no major repairs EVER and is VERY reliable, has never let me down. I’ll replace it when it dies.
I have 210k on my 2003 Suburban. The wife keeps asking for a new vehicle, no way. This is one of the most reliable/cheap to fix, comfortable spacious vehicles still in existence. Yeah, MPGs are a bit of a struggle and I WISH it had at least a six speed for towing, but it does it all well enough. Super proud of you and your channel, I've been subscribed since you had 13k subscribers, amazing work pays off.
That is the one huge downside to the older vehicles. Most of them get terrible MPG's. I still have a 2005 diesel Excursion for my 6 kids but it is cheaper to take two modern cars. Mostly just use it for camping and family vacations where we all want to be together.

Insta...m is for boob ads and fake content mostly
But Ive also learned how to do a Brazillian wax! 🤣
Please! Please! Please! Please! Please! Im begging you from the bottom of my heart, keeping the format the same. We learn so much and and the fast pace, long format is great.
I don't think you realize what a service you do for the community. The amount of effort you put into making each video thorough, informative, and entertaining without any bias is not unnoticed. Thank you for all of the videos you do
Thanks and you are welcome!
Other RUclipsrs would milk this kind of content for 3 episodes! Don't change anything it's perfect! 👍
Thanks for the feedback.
This guy is amazing. The amount of information in this single video is possibly equivalent to that in 20 other videos. Thank you!
Thanks and you are welcome!
Bro, you packed two weeks of content into one 25-minute video. This is incredible!
this was all done real time, this guy is a beast
I can not stand the channels that dime out 100 videos for 1 job
this video is great
I love these new project videos, which go back to your roots. Now, you can showcase all those skills that you developed through your extensive testing.
Thank you very much!!
Definitely. I may disagree with some review methods, but this video is awesome.
@@ygayovyit’s okay becsuse no one cares if you disagree but yo mama.
@@kaveman_4242 enjoy being an ass for no reason.
@@kaveman_4242 what point are you trying to make. Should I just praise every RUclipsr? There's enough simps around here as it is. Healthy criticism never harmed anybody.
The world needs more men like you. Thank you for years of helpful videos.
You're welcome!
I second this …his research has steered us in the right direction and saved us a ton of money …i changed motor oils i used cause of hid tests …this is real world stuff here ..forget consumer reports LOL
Single handedly, the absolute best and only review/informational channel on RUclips that anyone should ever watch. I don't know how you can do so much and also have time to respond to comments. Your channel is simply incredible. Companies are probably dying to get you to join their product R&D teams. Keep doing everything the same way, and you will continue to amaze people! Take care.
Thanks, will do!
Please don’t slow down. That is what your channel is. Fast paced and informative.
Do not change anything about the format, its what made this channel what it is. No bs, no clickbait titles, no long intros, no 15 min inconsequential stories before getting to the point...yup. Btw, HF has brake caliper clamp for $7, which works like charm, if you want to forgo the C clamp. Suggestion: Showdown of can openers, manual and electric ones.
The only thing I hate about channels like Scotty Kilmer's is his many clickbait titles. The sane precise titles on Farm Project is one of the many things I love about the channel.
@@SIXPACFISH he doesn't pander to the youtube algorithm or let himself be "influenced" by sponsors or youtube. It's rare to find a successful youtuber that has kept their moral compass in the right direction.
@@SIXPACFISH
Andrew Camarata is also the best youtuber
@@SIXPACFISH When I'm not looking up some info I think I might need from him, I block his channel (have a browser extension) because of the flood of clickbait thumbnails in search results or related videos.
He's done great service helping us all out with the truth about cars and repair, but the clickbait thing does get old.
@@Brandon_Nelson92 Your point?
You sir are a gem. Please please don’t change anything.
The reason I watch your content is the large amount of testing information presented in a concise manner without word salad/marketing. Thank you for everything you do.
DO NOT CHANGE A THING!
I absolutely love that you pack so much in a short amount of time, keeps the interest alive. You're doing absolutely amazing as you always have. Full of information and unbelievably thorough with everything.
Thanks for the feedback.
DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING!!!!! This channel is phenomenal and you go to great lengths to develop test mediums. Much appreciated Todd
Thanks for the feedback.
Based on the cost and low build quality of new vehicles these days that vehicle was definitely worth the cost and effort to keep it going, don't change anything on your channel, it's one of the best on RUclips.
stop spreading misinformation, newer cars are built way fucking better then older vehicles were, especially compared to some piece of shit GM product, the real issue is that everyone on the road today is a fucking idiot who refuses to do proper maintenance, i see way too many people who refuse to use synthetic oil because "HUR DE DUR, MY DADS DADS GRANDPAS DAD SAID SYNTHETIC OIL BAD, SO I ONLY USE DINOSAUR OIL." then proceed to go way too long between oil changes (you can do 5000 miles on synthetic, NOT conventional, conventional oil is 3000 miles MAX, no matter how you drive, syn oil can do 10,000 if the vehicle is designed for that, AND you drive all highway miles, if you do any city driving at all, you do not quality for regular maintenance schedule, and MUST follow the severe service schedule, which is 5000 miles between service) and then their motor has some major issue, and then that same fucking idiot is all like "FUCKING *BRANDNAMEHERE*"
MAINTAIN YOUR CAR CORRECTLY, AND IT WILL LAST LONGER THEN ANY OF THOSE OLD PILES OF JUNK, GUARANFUCKINGTEED (except chrysler and all their sub brands, but they've always been unreliable pieces of trash, so that hasn't actually changed either)
What this dude said. 💯
Yeah, money well spent. That’s the best generation of Chevrolet SUV ever made, and one of the best LS platform engines.
Smart man to keep it alive. It’ll outlast newer ones.
Older vehicles do WAY worse in crashes though. You're far more likely to get seriously injured in an older car even though they're heavy.
Absolutely
Don't slow down! You're one of the few channels I don't have to speed up to make the content bearable!
Thanks for the feedback.
Todd you say you're not a mechanic but you did a hell of a job.
The speed of your videos is one reason I keep coming back. Whatever you do, don't slow them down.
Thanks for the feedback.
Fit a bunch of info in minutes. Not bad. If only it would go that easy.
I agree. I love that there is no long ass preamble or bloat in your videos, and you get right to the point, with little to no fat to trim. Other channels tend to become an aggressive waste of viewers time because they are trying to please the youtube algorithm. If you want to experiment for your own sake, change things up, feel free, but since you're asking, don't change.
I'm Dutch, so English is not my native language. I have 0 issues with following everything you say. This is the perfect speed for this type of content.
Thank you ❤
Thanks for the feedback.
Ah yes, the land of mastermilo. Great RUclipsr💪🏽🙌😎
Can we just appreciate the incredible camera angles he got of all this work? I'm cursing and smacking my head just doing an oil change, forget finding a way to record it 😂 WELL DONE SIR
Thanks!
And elbows, and fingers..
Oh yeah the speed of this guy is why I watch these videos.. it's so good. Never slow down it's great
Thanks for the feedback.
Do not slow down. Your narration makes it easy to follow along with the fast speed of the video. You're doing a fantastic job with how you present your videos.
Thanks for the feedback.
Don't change anything. This is a perfect format. Never boring.
Don’t change anything, but broadening out into this new area is fantastic. Go Todd go!
I speak for most when I say this: You did this better than most mechanic channels on RUclips
THIS!
This guy is a better mechanic than you'll find at 97% of shops on earth including dealerships
I don't usually comment on RUclips but I must say, you sir are a work horse. There is almost no one on this platform who can match your level of knowledge and skill that you put in your videos.
Thank you for teaching me so much about cars and also helping me save a lot of money in the process :)
Honestly, don't slow down. Part of what makes your channel amazing is just how much content you're able to get through to us in such a short amount of time because you don't mess around with overexplanations or stalling. I can watch a 5-minute video of yours and learn just about as much as if it was an hour long video of someone else's. You're one of the first channels I subscribe to on RUclips and I'm honestly glad I stumbled upon you because you're one of the most humble and consistently high quality RUclips content creators that hasn't sold out yet.
I think the speed at which you do your videos is perfect. You’re not here to teach us step-by-step but to show how it can be done and you hit all the high points so I think you’re doing perfect.
Thank for the feedback.
I just watched this and didn’t realize I’ve been watching for 25 minutes! Keep it the same!
Anybody who has worked on cars knows that was a TON of work. Good job!
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
Pacing is perfect! I watch cause it's a ton of actual useful information but instead of being and hour long video that drags on you condense it to a palletable 20 something minutes. Love the Chanel
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
I gotta say this is the shortest video for all the work that was done but no steps missed is really impressive 👌
Bro, as a master tech with 20 years of experience, you did EVERYTHING exactly how I would (minus the paint on the knuckle and the body work). This is fantastic information for beginners and those that want to maintain a high millage vehicle. My F-150 (08 Lariat crew cab w/ heavy duty tow package) is at 580,000 miles because I maintain it as well as you have on your burban. Keep up the good work my man.
No dealership mechanic would give this much attention to the little details nothing ever beats doing it yourself . Excellent video
I watch most videos at 2x speed. But your videos are already at 2x speed, which is perfect. :)
And NO! Don't change a thing! Your energy is contagious, and you give all the information one needs, with no shortcuts, or stupid music or anything. Best channel on RUclips! Time flies when watching these vids- I watch these vids even if I'm not interested in what's being tested/shown!
I love the car/repair/maintenance related videos so much and I think we all really appreciate them! Please keep doing them!
Thank you very much!!
Agreed. We were just rewatching the Honda Civic video from a while back today.
I was searching for a battery charger video earlier and couldn't find one. Can you please do a video on them? Not looking for a trickle charger or maintainer, but an actual charger.
Perhaps he just didn't show it, but I think a compression check would have been appropriate before dumping all this money and work into the truck.
Perfect!! Dont change a thing! As a mechanic I also loved seeing you clean everything properly and not just slap new parts into rusted shit that can't possibly seat properly! Keep up the great work Todd! We all appreciate your hard work and effort!
You're forgetting that people watch these because of YOU! You're extremely talented and we just want to keep seeing your videos.
Thanks for watching!
Very true though
Absolutely!
301,000 on my 2001 2500HD and still going strong. With vehicle prices where they are I’d say worth fixing. Keep up the great work.
Thanks, will do!
Don’t slow down. Keep the same pace. We can pause/rewind whenever we need to. Thank you so much for all of the information that you provide.
I’m glad I have my dad in my life and he taught me all these things. But I’m just as grateful for you because people who didn’t have fathers or good fathers can watch you and learn everything. I love watching your videos, even stuff like this that’s simple to me, to see how well you do teaching today’s youth. You sir are a scientist, technician, and a professor.
I'd love to see Todd make videos aimed at young men. He's a great role model and shows that masculinity doesn't need to be toxic.
@@TheKnobCalledTone. man that’s the best way to put it that I can imagine. Dude is certified Alfa male masculine and shows it off in the most humble and gentle ways.
I always think 'how the hell do these people learn how to do all these things in one lifetime' when I watch videos like this
@@jeffa847 best way to learn it is to find a good teacher, either in person or on RUclips, and start doing it.
Thanks so much!
The fact you were able to do so many repairs with relevant details in such a short and clear video is truly amazing. Pacing is perfect.
Thanks!
i really love how honest and humble you are, always stating that youre not a professional and that if you can do it i can too! thank you so much for what you do! keep on trucking!
Thanks, will do!
My 2003 Tacoma just clocked over 303,000 miles, been driving it every day for 5 years. It’s never left me stranded.
Thank you for sharing!
Just broken in.
I've got a 2002 Tacoma 290k miles. It definitely needs a little front end attention you showed here. Its ridiculously cheap just to hang on to it.
Slooper, that's awesome. Quick story..I bought a brand new Lexus LS 400 the year they came out. I loved it. I brought it to the dealer for routine service and asked the service manager how long it would last if I kept up on the routine stuff. He brought me deep into their shop and showed me my exact car purchased a month earlier than mine with 301,000 miles on it. It belonged to a traveling salesman who didn't fly. He said the car drives like new. I told him that sounded far fetched. He pulled it out and told me to take it out for 15 minutes. (with the owner's permission) I'll be danged if it wasn't just as tight feeling and quiet as mine that had less than 50K on it. Toyota makes amazing stuff. Your story reminded me of that so I figured I'd share. I sold mine at 75K and did okay. It held a lot of value back then. Cheers and here's to 500K.
I have a 1992 Toyota 4x4 with 130,000 and it makes me sad that the frame has rotted out because it would have gone the 300K !
No sponsors is why this channel is epic. It’s all from this man and his team.
doing this for living so here are some quick tips
1. block sand putty with coarse grit
2. fine sand with orbial sander finer grit
3. prime using high build 2k primer
4.block primer
5. scuff(remove the shine of the clearcoat) the whole panel or part of it (if there are body lines and you want to polish the blend later on)
6. degreese
7. paint and clear 2 coats should be sufficient
8.,enjoy ur work
What finally sent my 2008 f150 to the junk yard was: 150,000 miles, tires very old and possibly a safety issue. Brake warning light that just stayed on with no problems. ALL the lines started blowing out, gas line repair, brake line band aid repairs, power steering lines blew out one after another, the whole steering system rusted so bad it all just needed replaced. Torn seat, then a crack developed in the trans housing that marked my spot and went though a quart a month..and last...rusted rear wheel wells limiting the possible value ever of the truck. repairs to be safe would cost more than the truck would EVER be worth. Drove it to the junkyard and got $425 for it.
Thanks for sharing.
You’ve nailed the art of direct information with no distraction. I vote no change.
You’re amazing you did $10 k worth the repairs on your suburban in 27 min. At regular shop rates most people would have scraped it. Love your videos don’t change a single thing. Canadian fan
Probably more than 10k, suspension parts, shops are unwilling to press out the rubber bits, so they force you all new parts. I gave up that same model Suburban 14 yrs ago the maintenance just wasn't worth it
When you have so much to cover in your videos, it makes sense that you have to be quick.
Thanks!
The fast pace is one of the best features of your productions. We can see how thorough you are without watching your tests in real time. Thank you for this valuable public service!
I love these repair videos, keep up the awesome work. My dad passed away about 5 years ago and this helps fill in the void being alongside him doing home/auto repairs. Have a High Life for dad! 🍻
Thanks for sharing.. Thanks for supporting the channel! I really appreciate it!
My condolences to you! I lost my dad two years ago...he was a wealth of practical knowledge and is sorely missed. He was a jack of all trades and master of none as he would often say. Let your dads know you love them and appreciate them folks!
Its crazy that you don't accept sponsorships. You are a real youtuber that wants to keep good content without a potential issue.
Corporate sponsorship and advertising are what has ruined the internet. Are you old enough to remember the internet before corporate america got their grubby hands on it? Project farm knows that sponsorships would destroy his channel. Just like it has destroyed the internet.
He has a very good point in not accepting those
It wouldn't bother me if he took free products, I trust he wouldn't change.
Thanks! Please DO NOT slow down. The information density is the most precious thing in the Internet nowadays.
I did pretty much everything that you just did about 4 years ago to my ’95 Z71. What a difference it makes. Only difference is it took me about 1.5 weeks to accomplish what you did in 25 minutes 😂. My truck has 238k miles. Bought it new. Love your calling. And that is one good looking suburban.
Thanks and you are welcome!
2001 Silverado about to hit 300k. This video inspires me to keep the old horse.
GM actually made good stuff back then.
Glad to hear!
I literally just said the same thing. I have a 2001 GMC Yukon with 320,000 miles. I've owned it since 150,000 and I've neglected it because it needs a fuel pump, but it got me through some hard times (divorce) and great times (meeting the woman who is now my wife). It deserves to be shown the love that it showed me all those years. I'll be ordering the parts this week!
What a concept, replacing parts that aren't completely worn out. No wonder you've gotten over 300,000 miles out of that Suburban. Keep up the good work.
He spent less than two months of car payments.
Good one Larry
Thanks!
THE most efficiently delivered information on the planet. Never change my friend.
I've been watching your videos for years. I think the one aspect that keeps me coming back is you move at the speed of a military training video. Fast as possible, while covering every important point. You do great work man!
Thanks so much!
No one can watch a 25 min video these days. Including me. But wow I watched this and it didn’t feel like 25 minutes. I think it’s due to your action packed content that kept changing quickly and your video editing. Kept me engaged to the video.
Thanks!
@ethankangful, I couldn't have said it better.
One of the only content creators I don’t have to put on 2X speed, & no filler, just pure form content with justified editing!
Thank for the feedback.
Literally the ONLY channel I actively pay for (Patreon) and the ONLY channel I do not speed up! Just keep being you. "Don't fix what isn't broken!"
@24:44 this was perfect, I use to watch your videos in 2x speed but i didn't even notice it was 1x and I stayed engaged the whole video
Please do not change a thing, most people can keep up and understand. Its nice that i dont need to 1.25x or 1.5x your stuff. This is one of the best channels on youtube. I watch every video. I dont even have an interest or use for what you're reviewing sometimes, but I'm still gonna watch, be entertained, and educated. This is a wonderful channel and i hope you're making a very good living off doing it. You deserve every good thing that you have and that comes your way. You provide a service that makes the world a better place.
The fast pace is amazing for my ADHD and your exquisite scientific process is critical for dependable results. Never change anything about how you make videos. I'm begging you!!! 😫
My wife actually walked in the kitchen while I was making some supper and watching your video and she said he talks fast. I said it's because he's trying to get a lot of information and efficiently as possible. I love the pace. Don't change a thing.
This is amazing! I just bought a 2003 f250 5.4L 2 valve with 375k km. Motor is solid! There is a lot of play in the steering so I will have to look at getting the front end done. This was great to watch. 🙏🏽
Don't ever slow down! I love your videos for how informative you are, but also your fast pace and cheerful voice. It's all part of your charm!
No need for change. This channel is keeping me awake while watching. this would be a 6 hour video on many other channels, but here it is right to the bone 25 min. No waste of internet here.
Thanks for showing everyone that old can be gold. My Audi has 308k miles and never left me stranded. Regular fluid changes on all of the 3 differentials, the transmission, and of course the engine oil, and brake fluid have been a huge help and never had to replace anything major. Just belts, a couple pulleys, brakes, and fluids and it's happy.
Your pace is perfect. I know I can't do everything you do, even if I had the tools so I'm not looking at it as instructional videos. But your channel is one of the very few that provides insight/knowledge. I salute you!
I have more respect for this youtube channel than any other at this point. You've stayed true to yourself and your viewers this whole time without selling out. You haven't let popularity and success corrupt you. Your pace is engaging and fine for the majority of your audience. Please don't change. Ignore the haters. They do not represent the majority.
Thanks for the feedback!
I don't see how people can get bored whilst watching your videos.theyre so informative and unbiased as well as interesting. a must watch channel for me and your other fans here in the UK.
Thanks!
I love seeing an old car fixed instead of dumped. Great way to protect the environment, reduce waste, and save some cash. Win all around. Keep the great videos coming!
I love the way you do your videos at high-speed like that. It gives us a lot of information without using a lot of our time and we can always rewind if we need to.
And thank you very much for doing all these videos for us
Thanks and you are welcome!
Your editing skills are off the charts. This is the only channel where I don't put it at x2 speed because it would be way too fast.
My 06 Chevy suburban has the 8.1L V8, is a southern COMPLETELY rust free truck with 392k on it. Runs GREAT. Woolwax/fluid film and preventative maintenance will make this a 1M mile truck.
Wow, that is great!
What is woolwax??
@@ljbrandt500 a lanolin based, non toxic undercoat that you apply yearly. It is self healing, and oozes into all the books and crannies. It is similar to fluid film but thicker. Both can be had in their natural color or in black. There are shops that apply it but you can buy DIY kits as well. MANY RUclips videos on both. HIGHLY recommend.
@@ljbrandt500 A type of undercoating
Right behind ya with 285k on my '02 2500 w/8.1l . Bought it new in '02, window sticker '$38,000' w/leather, all options. New trucks, $90k??? Not worth it, I'm keeping my 8.1L 'workhorse'
My 2003 Toyota Highlander is my daily driver. It has 409,xxx miles with no major repairs EVER and is VERY reliable, has never let me down. I’ll replace it when it dies.
Knock on wood
Thank you for sharing!
Don't replace it, rebuild it instead. I'll take your '03 over a '23 all day!!
@@username8644 😮😮😮
@@shootinglaser Good advice
I'll never open my mouth to complain about a mechanic's price ever again in my life! This was awesome to watch!
Thanks!
I have 210k on my 2003 Suburban. The wife keeps asking for a new vehicle, no way. This is one of the most reliable/cheap to fix, comfortable spacious vehicles still in existence. Yeah, MPGs are a bit of a struggle and I WISH it had at least a six speed for towing, but it does it all well enough.
Super proud of you and your channel, I've been subscribed since you had 13k subscribers, amazing work pays off.
2024 suburban has not changed much. mostly sheet metal and touch screens
That is the one huge downside to the older vehicles. Most of them get terrible MPG's. I still have a 2005 diesel Excursion for my 6 kids but it is cheaper to take two modern cars. Mostly just use it for camping and family vacations where we all want to be together.
Make your own biodiesel from used vegetable oil for about $2.50/ gallon. Who cares about mpg when fuel is so cheap.
Thanks so much! Thanks for sharing.
