    I think the reason you make everyday guy stuff so interesting is that you do what needs to be done, AND you usually do it RIGHT. And you have the RIGHT tools, or you make them when needed. Plus, you're a guy I can say without any doubts or reservations would be a great friend and neighbor to have. And as someone else mention, Levi gets a bit slower each passing video. What a great dog!

      @jamesbouchard9105 4 года назад +43

      He's a living legend to me (an attorney, and previously a mechanical illiterate and dependent consumer of all skilled labor), my surgeon wife (who I put through med school and surgery+colorectal residencies - who now coos at me about how handy I am after 22 yrs together), my 9 and 7 and 5 and 4 year old kids who know Andrew Camarata's name and voice by heart and now work on small engines and electric motors and have "operated" multiple excavators and a forestry CTL because of the confidence that Andrew's "can do" attitude gave me to enter a whole new universe 18 months ago when I bought 50 acres of woods and started developing it for a homestead farm. My wife wears one of his grey Tshirts, and displayed in my workshop I have a signed (and paw stamped) piece of his mini-excavator track. I turn 48 next month, and this channel has actually changed the life of my family. It's his attitude, and energy, and humility that really did it. So many RUclipsrs have an air of "me, not thee" about their skills. Andrews air is totally "you can handle this. Why not? K, let's get to work. "
      Love it!
      Legend to this family.

    Andrew is the textbook definition of “hustle.”
    He’ll never be hungry. He’ll always have a warm home for his family in the winter.
    He’s NOT afraid of WORK.
    His brain is always whirring
    at warp speed.
    He’s a great guy to know.
    Every time you pull out his business card, expect to pull out $40, $60, $100, or $200
    with it. But- he’ll take care of
    you every time.
    A “Jack of All Trades.”

Know too many guys that are hot heads with volcanic tempers and hair triggers. It's relaxing to watch Andrew work it through, step by step. Patience, calm. No yelling or screaming. If extra steps or parts or tools are needed, that's ok. If a new problem is found, that's ok. He just accepts it and works through it. More ppl need that attitude. It ain't easy, y'all. Nuttin' s easy usually. But your attitude and how u react to it is everything.

When I was in the Army as a truck driver we always added a pint can of denatured alcohol to our 55-gallon tanks on our trucks in the wintertime. It helped to dry out the fuel and help remove any water. It is supposed to help fuel from waxing up in extremely cold weather. Like at Ft. Drum, NY. It doesn't help with five-foot snowdrifts in the motor pool though. That we had to get a bucket loader to get us out so we could convoy back to Ft. Bragg, NC.

    still got my 1994 Isuzu trooper turbo 3.1 diesel (Bighorn). had it 15 yrs, still good. Only had to replace the alternator, a set of wheels and 2 batteries. I had to replace the rear 2 doors after a Mitsi Canter truck ran into the back of me at the lights. The doors were bowed in by about half an inch and the front of his cab was stowed right in under the window. Use it to tow a 1.5 ton boat no worries. Best vehicle buy I ever made. Cheap to run. If you see a good one, grab it. With the seats folded in the back, the internal cargo room is huge and secure.

      @morning glory Uhh okay Pal. You might want to watch more of this kids content. Trust me, he may be in his late twenties, but this guy has done more in the past year than most people do in a lifetime...and its all well documented. For example, building his own house/castle all by himself. My guess is that your truck stays spotless and you wash it every weekend. Those that can do, while those that can't like to play dress up and pretend.

    Dodge ram diesel owner here. Always turn the petcock on the bottom of the filter housing. It will drain the fuel and water out and you'll be able to clean the sludge from the bottom of the bowl. After draining and cleaning, reset the peacock. Next, put the cap with new o ring on the lid and replace the filter and cap. Lastly, cycle the key seven to ten times. The lift pump will fill the fuel bowl and the truck should kick right over.
    Great vids man. Thank you for the content.
