      Agreed. The fast pace also keeps attention and focus; slowing things down won't make people learn better, but it will give people time to have their eyes glaze over instead of keeping them engaged. It captures attention.

      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 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.

      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)

    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.

      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.

    Just a quick tip fot you Project Farm, these trucks you can put the 07+ stock brakes on the front for a cheap upgrade. The rotors, caliper and caliper brackets are a direct bolt on but you have to run 17in wheels. It makes a world of difference in brake power for the same cost as the stock size. Just for future reference if you want better brakes, I did it on my 04 escalade using 2009 parts.

    I damn near NEVER watch a whole video longer than 15 minutes yet I’ve watched this one whole…twice. That should tell you everything. Your videos are the best on RUclips. Thank you

    One of my all-time favorite Project Farm videos! I’ve been repairing my cars, trucks, and motorcycles for 40 years, but never the bodywork. Thank you for the education!

    I watch a lot of your videos, and I have to say this is probably one of the best ones I’ve seen. You make some very difficult task look easy. It seems like every time I work on something, something isn’t right. Something doesn’t work right doesn’t fit right, and I always end up dropping and not her both it takes me at least an hour or 2 retrieve. Lol. My Cell Phone scope comes in handy to try to locate lost nuts and bolts. The speed of your videos is perfect enough to pay attention get through it, and I can always rewind. You Fit a lot of information in a nice compact, concise manner. Way better than watching people do tasks like this, and they’re talking and talking and talking and talking and talking and talking. Lol.
