Keep doing what you're doing. It's fun watching you work on the trucks you play and work with. I wouldn't mind more "How-to's" on some of the mechanical stuff. Others may show it on their channels but don't explain it well. Appreciate your time and knowledge!
Since watching your channel all these years I've really enjoyed the variety of content (came for the original TP vs DC gooseneck comparison) and have also starting using Vevor products. At the end of the day do what you like and post it the real ones will still watch it. I know the truck was red when you got it but I think it'd be neat to return it to black in my opinion (and I'm a white truck and trailer guy) your paint skills on the sweptline prove a nice tuxedo black 2nd Gen would be very do-able. Just my .02 awesome you got your 1st truck back regardless and it's not destroyed!
You are a wealth of knowledge because I have a 24 valve 3rd gen 05 and I've learned a lot from you about those trucks and I love the tractors also and who doesn't like the crispy wine crackling sound of a big bore chainsaw I'm here for it all
I think its fun hanging out with y'all once in awhile! I may learn something, I may offer something. You also may, generally, know who I am after all these years, not like Cletus who has a "bazillion subs"! LOL So great job Sam, rock on!! 8) --gary
Sam, the way that paints popping up and off on the red one it needs to go to bare metal. I lean towards etching primer then a hood primer surfacer. Some would go the epoxy primer route instead. It just depends on the paint system you use. I picked up those same little clutch and transmission tips as a kid years ago reading the car and 4wd mags. When my nephew gets older I’ll be teaching him and maybe my niece about cars. I hope my little brother is ready for the car nut I’m going to turn that kid into. Kids already getting my mustang I’ve had for almost 33 years, bought it a month before my brother was born.
I don’t think all your little stabilizer jacks match! Haha the real ones will watch whatever you put out. I notice it on my channel too, when I switch projects for a few weeks I get comments saying I shouldn’t 😂
You’ve done it if you can’t find your tools no where get down on your creeper and look around lol I’ve done the same thing when you are looking for something you can’t find it nowhere but when you quit looking there it is!
I don’t think your jacks all match I wanted to let you know I really enjoy your videos and I’ve learned a lot from you about 12 valves and about second gen dodges
I wonder if that’s the problem I’m having with my g56 didn’t have problems getting into gear until i put that delvac 50 oil in it made the trans quieter but it’s hard to get into gear sometimes it’s has a dual disk that’s noisy as can be sometimes when I’m in neutral idling i have to hit the clutch in a couple times to get the rattle to go away
What’s the part number on the t-case input seal? I gotta address my transmission output seal and wanna go ahead with the t-case side too. 2001 2500 4x4
The factory track bars are junk garbage. A hiem joint adjustable track bar conversion is an absolute must! Thuren and sphon performance make a good kit. They get rid of that dumb tie rod end on the track bar. When a level kit has been added the track bar needs to be adjusted. And the stock OE track bar isn’t adjustable! An upgrade is a must! Hiem joints are stronger and more durable than rubber/ poly bushings, and tie rod ball and socket ends. Another must is a steering gear brace that makes the sector shaft of the steering gear ride on a bearing and braces the front frame rails. When big tires have been added it puts to Much stress on everything, bracing the frame and stuffing it. Sphon performance makes an awesome kit. Another neglected front end part is the sway bar end links. A bigger beefier hiem joint style sway bar end links are must have upgrade. A phone performance, bd diesel, Thuren all make beefy upgraded sway bar end links.
Unfortunately there’s so many personalities that they only want to see the trucks, or only want the tech or ideas to finish their own projects but that goes with the variety of things u offer. Some may be interested in buying a mecalac but these hillbillies and truck enthusiast but it’s hard keep people’s attention just out of charisma cuz everybody’s got their own thing going on the entertainment only comes from the specifics and not cuz your a movie star
Man I’m loving seeing both your first rig and grandmas truck getting their well deserved love

Did a great job on this video!!!! Brings me back to the old days when we brained stormed stuff together

Great content Sam. Keep it up! It's my Sat morning ritual.
Man I love to see it , awesome down to earth good work. That youngin is fortunate to be able to learn from his hero.

Loving all the content bud 😎 looking forward to seeing the final product 👌
Hopefully hang out and kick it again bro. Keep trucking brother 👊🏼
Always put your clutch on transmission splines before install. Check that the clutch moves freely on the splines.

Sam, keep on keeping on!!!! Onward and upward!!!!
My favorite truck of yours is that '01 Sport. I don't know what it is, but I've always wanted one of those!

Good video man. I also do tree work and all the maintenance, shop work
I love the truck building videos!!!
No grass growing under your feet, good work.
I don't think your stabilizers match! Love all the content Sam. Keep it up!
Keep up the good work brother..
Most men will never forget their first love. Vehicles are no exception.
Yep still got mine...not the vehicles, they're long gone haha
I don’t think all your little stabilizer jacks match!

Graphite powder for dual disk works extremely well
Imagine that truck with a beautiful factory black paint job very rare to see a factory black 12 valve 2nd gen
I don’t think all 4 of your vevor stabilizer jacks match. Man it’s sweet seeing work on your OG 12V and fixing it back up to it’s formal glory
You’ve done it if you can’t find your tools no where get down on your creeper and look around lol I’ve done the same thing when you are looking for something you can’t find it nowhere but when you quit looking there it is!
I don’t think your jacks all match

Great video
I don’t think all your jacks match. Best part of your videos. The second gen’s. I love these trucks. Id like to see more restoration on second gens.
Heck yeah brother 👍🏻🇺🇸
Love the truck videos. Is vevor a sponsor? I see them throwing their stuff at a lot of channels I watch.
Sam with the longer hair and beard you look like Jeremiah Johnson the mountain man 😂😂👍🏻🇺🇸
What’s the part number on the t-case input seal? I gotta address my transmission output seal and wanna go ahead with the t-case side too. 2001 2500 4x4
hey man l like seing the old Ford F600 in the back ground i got one 78 it run good for me
Okay what was that screwdriver attached to your impact? What did you do or did you buy a screwdriver set up to do that? Lol nifty
4 bolt top 5 speed what did it come out of?
Stay dirty Sam well done 👍❤❤. Take care of yourself and family and friends and be Blessed ❤️.
Someone probably put a used door on it and then had the whole truck repainted. I think replacing just the one bedside is the way to go.
Stabilizer jacks match perfect. lol
Taking off the restricter plate from the red dragon?
What’s that?
Ahhh dang autocorrect, Restrictor plate.
