      @Don.Challenger 5 лет назад +1

      Well, two things to say here - 1./ I think Andrew tossed a couple of Levi's emergency bones from out under the passenger seat before he discovered he didn't have to swap out the entire seat bench and Levi was confused and miffed for a bit; 2./ Andrew made an excuse for not lifting the back of the truck but I think he really didn't do it to be kind to Levi's legs but also Levi's feelings. @Sam Val, good idea that but I guess only useful at home and at the Andrew's Fortress of Solitude, you can't really toss it in the back to carry it around (and using it out in public would probably embarrass Levi - if some lady dog or punk puppy got to see).

    When you get ready to replace the Dodge truck, come to north Texas. A third of the vehicles on the road here are pickups so a great selection. Also the best thing is you avoid the rust problem. I have an 2001 pickup and no rust at all. The underside still looks very good. Also you have restored my faith in young people, watching someone your age with so much knowledge is very refreshing.

    I had a dodge diesel I bought from a friend. It was a northern truck so it was rusty but it was a crazy cheap deal so I bought it. So I'm driving and it was kinda darty where you would hit bumps and it would get unsettled and I'm towing my 36ft enclosed back from an event 3 hours away and going through highway construction and the truck is just driving terrible. and it would make this grinding noise when you would come to a stop. So I was getting ready to head to Texas for an event and I'm checking the truck over doing new tires and such, and both front upper control arms were broken in the middle from rust. They were so much thinner than the lowers from the factory that they just rusted right through. I was so surprised that the truck still drove okay with both front arms broken in half. I replaced them obviously, but after that truck I told myself I'll never own another northern truck so long as I'm living in Florida no matter how good the deal is.

Glad to see the truck get some love, Watching the truck work over time has been one of my favorite parts of the channel. It embodies who you are as a person, hardworking and getting the job done, no glamor. Good for you man keep it up.
    To the people complaining about rust, I'm pretty sure there's a video with Andrew running a dozer and and excavator at the same time out there somewhere.... lol

    Here in Western Australia I drive fertiliser spreading trucks which have a problem with lime, urea and superphosphate causing corrosion. We pull them to bits and liberally coat everything with Lanolin, which is natural sheepwool grease. It is excellent at entirely eliminating rust and is a lubricant as well - and for those that are concerned about the environment - is organic, natural and the sheep is not killed to shear the wool!

    Andrew, U'bolts are meant to be torqued and will stretch when installed. Once removed, you cannot safely re-torque them to achieve the correct clamping force. Just like those throw away head bolts. Re-use runs the risk of failure. That said, sure I've reused u-bolts.

    Hey Andrew,
    When it's dry, coat the underside of the truck in bar and chain oil (you might need to thin it a drop first) and then go for a drive down a dusty road. It'll make a nice rust preventing coat on your truck and it's loads cheaper. You'll just have to redo it every now and again.

    Andrew you're doing it right, the important thing is that your equipment is safe and does what it was designed for, looks especially for fleet work vehicles is like 3rd or 4 th on list of priorities, and you sure see to that, I'm really impressed at how you improvise to fix some things, and in many instances improve on the design and integrity of it, which in turn give better results on performance and longevity of those parts. Yep if it ain't broke don't fix it, and if it's broke make it better when possible, I love your philosophy, you have one of the best work ethics I've seen in a long while, I really enjoy your videos and I have learned a lot just watching them, I live in Arizona and if ever I make it out east on my Goldwing, I sure would like to visit your place just to see it in person if you would't mind, that castle of yours is amazing, your legacy will go on indefinitely, and the funny thing, your just having fun, for the most part....Kudos!!!
