Your van and wrap look great as is, very inspiring as I am becoming more professional.
You can do it!
I would check into EBC to see if they have pads and cryo treated rotors. I got them for my truck and they are quiet and have good life. Watch the Clorox spray on equipment. I had a guy who was addicted to the stuff and ruined the cables and screens on his stuff
Smart move with the “White-top” of your Service Vans……..keeps it cool, especially in the South Carolina climates!😊
I love it!
@@MikeyPipesUncensored 95 degrees and 85% humidity....you will!
You should get brush drill bits to use the drill to clean the van
great idea!!!
I love it with the French kiss if your not testing your guessing
lol
Love the wrap design
Glad you like it!
New intro... LOVE ❤️ IT!!!

Simple green is an extremely good degreaser FYI.
I’d use that over Clorox. Make sure to cut it down 1 part to 4 parts water. More effective
great feedback! i'll try that next time
@@MikeyPipesUncensored yes I was gonna say the exact same thing. Clorox clean up is good for mold.
You had me at '' immature '' audience 🤣😅😂 Good vid and staying busy ...It all pay's the same ... Thx ...
thank you eddy!

hi
It may be overkill, but we’ll worth it. Probably worth 100,000 subscribers
I think so. Might be worth 100,000 subscribers
Good idea on the lighting, but you are usually done work by 2 PM. 😆
That's true!
Happy New Year Mike.
Thank you
You have grown your youtube channel pretty quickly. Not sure I would list the number of subscribers on the wrap because it may be 100k before you know it.
Agreed
agreed.
I had two sprinters, first was a rust bucket, second was supposed to be the new rust proof body but after five years it had some spots. Both were maintenance nightmare's especially the second one that used the DEF flued, always in the shop in and out of warranty and out of warranty costs were insane. The only good thing was the resale value. Got a nice Ford Transit in 2017 the 2018 model and only two issues, a driveshaft recall and the rear wheels stop about three feet before the end creating issues on highly pitched driveways.
i love our Sprinters
Need to place an order ASAP looks pretty useful
place an order for what?
You should made a video how to create a sales from scratch including how to get leads
Its called lead generation and marketing
It won't be long until that first cold spell comes, and the freaking out of people begins.. my first day will be tomorrow, getting down to the 30s tonight
It doesn't happen here in East Tennessee. The summer is extremely demanding in the beginning, however winter calls are about 30 percent of summer calls here. I'm not really sure why.
got a few heating calls today
@@Bryan-Hensley heating equipment runs way less, doesn't break down as often
Pimp my work van. 😎
pimp it!
The LED tape is not bad, but in that environment I would look into bed lights 3-LED molded modules about 10" a part and you trim to the number you need. A string has been working well on my truck just tucked under the side rail
Stay tuned. Update tomorrow
Please make more videos dnja rocks
will do
Pimp my Pipes

nero su nero fantasticaaaaaaaa
Huh?
The dead times is what I hate about owning my HVAC business. It makes me feel uneasy. It's probably what's going to cause me to close one day. I love staying busy all the time. I like having a backlog. I'm just coming out of a dead time today, I hope..
I understand your frustrations!
Dead time is a great time to work on marketing, cleaning, organizing, etc.
Do the sprinters still have individual electric brake wear sensors on each wheel. I drove a 2005 for about 5 years doing around 26 0000 miles a year and those sensors were rotor savers, they would lite up in dash letting you know what wheel was low. My biggest problem was going into limp home mode with turbo issues, that no one could fix correctly in a timely fashion.
yes they do
👍
thanks again!
This man too funny
Was that from my job? Hey it's a work truck lol. I would sweep mine out every week. Front and back.
yes it was!
I think the foam idea is good but would be costly and wouldn't hold many items when it comes to nipples/pipes ect. You could only fit maybe 5-7 nipples on each piece of foam. I think 3d printed tray would be better. Something printed to hold the nipples/pipes straight up. You could stack them from small to big and resemble a box of drill bits. You could do the same for PVC and ABS. I've even seen 3d printed trays that fold over, just like milkwaukee does for the drill bits in the trays.
Let’s see
Is Peter ever happy? 😂 He always looks miserable 🤷♂️, just sayin
You can pimp your vans anyway you want as long as you’re willing to devote the time, energy and 💰to keep it up…it’s great when you have down time and want to keep the guys busy
Love the new truck wrap! 👍👍
Thanks Chuck
Massapequa benz is very expensive cus they inflate their prices and like to add on crap you dont need. I used to take my eclass there but for anything i can do myself i just buy the parts and do the job myself. Smithtown mercedes is great but way to far from you. My sprinter only visits smithtown benz when its inspection time
It might be worth it to take a drive out to Smithtown then.
Smash!!!! When you hit the camera ..... psychologically it makes you want to click!!!!
bingo
thanks alot bro so much v bucks
White led strip lights would make sense
yup!
Mike do you leave your Milwaukee battery's plugged in 24 7 in the truck? Didn't know if this kills them. Thanks
No. Turns off
Hopefully you’re paying your employees well Mike making them “swab the deck” of your van, my first boss used to make me swab the deck of his no joke $1,000,000 yacht when we weren’t busy and I quit on his ass! I know you don’t but don’t treat your employees like shit, that was his mistake…anyways now he’s dead and never taught me the proper way to do service air conditioning and heating systems, I’ve learned a lot since then (17 years ago now), but teach em right and learn em well! I never learned what a vacuum pump was till I went to the second company I worked or recovery machine, little food for thought! There are scumbags out their, but sir you are not! Peter is looking more mature with that nice beard now…no more Peter Pan bullshit!
I guess he could have sent u home with no pay , but he was trying to keep u working and paid , u ungrateful dick
They are taken care of with no want
So. Your boss found work for you instead of reducing your hours and you resented it? That forced you to quit? I guess you figured that he should have let you take a nap if there was down time. The first HVAC guy I worked for wanted me to always be doing something. If he was on his car phone (before handheld cellphones) he expected me to be in the back of the truck organizing trays or boxes. Waste parts were always kept separate and removed from the truck at the end of the shift. Every time you entered a job site both hands better be carrying something. If you were going to the truck to get something, you had better be carrying something back to the truck. I still use his techniques 30 years later, and I teach what I learned from him to new guys.
I might see if I can 3d print something for you mike
hummmm
@@MikeyPipesUncensored I'm thinking some pipe stand offs for Aircon pipes or condensate traps
clean truck out, what's that.
lol
Hahahah. Mercedes of Massapequa
yup. I'd rather own a DeathBox Incorporated machine
Are your sprinters gas or diesel?
Diesel
I can only count to three and I'm a very immature audience LOL
1-2-3-4-5-6 got you beat
You better make room in that garage for your new baby on the way - don’t be parking that sled 🛷 in the driveway all winter!! And on that topic-you can’t park a 200k 911 on blacktop!!! Get a paver driveway or at least a stamped concrete slab!! You can do it!!
yup, i'm thinking about paving the driveway and installing snowmelt.
I'm terribly immature 💪
me too
It fell down
what?
Daniel should learn how to change the brakes and rotors, and do them himself. Would have to get a good jack. Every 12K miles is a lot of brakes. And after he learns how to do it, he can change yours for the cost of parts 🙂
not his responsibility
Dam son you never looked so good
ty
Since when do we give a fuck about video warnings on RUclips lol
Fuck yeah!
cheap cheap cheap buy the best and fix it right the brakes
Truck eats brakes
I agree about the animals, so sick of the behavior of these people.
animals!
