Geez SQWIB, I'm so sorry to hear this after all ya been puttin into it. I dunno, I have a feeling this ain't the last we'll be seeing of the SQWIB Shack!
I hope you find a way to get the truck fixed, you made the interior really special. Either way, I love all the videos you make, especially the gardening and cooking ones. This is by far one of my favourite youtube channels
I just stumbled on to your channel and have enjoyed your content, have been binge watching multiple times. I asked about lighting and you provided the link for the lighting. You really put a lot of time into the project and I have to be honest it looked very comfortable. I hope you make a decision that you can get back to doing what you enjoyed. Either way your other content is entertaining was well, you have a gift in communicating with your audience. Tom
Oh SQWIB, I can see how difficult this is. I enjoyed the walk down memory lane you shared with us. It must be so personal, all the improvements you’ve made over time. Whatever you decide, it will be the right decision, because it’s your decision. Prayers 🙏🏻for wisdom and discernment. Either way, I know we’ll see you back on the road and in all those stealthy and beautiful spots you so enjoy. 😊
Sorry this happened Squib. The first time I watched you , you had backpacked into an urban stealth camp. Hope you get to keep going. I have priced motors and 6-8 grand . Man , I hate this happened. Maybe you can locate one with low miles
She was a beauty. Many memorable memories and adventures that you will never forget. Take your time and please do not get a Cybertruck. All the best SQWIB and keep following your nose! 🇨🇦🦫
Awwwwnnnn man!!! I’m so sorry brother! I loved the SQWIB SHACK I’m deeply saddened and I feel your pain brother because I feel it!!!! 🤦♂️🙏🙏🙏prayers going up! ✌️🫶
So sorry to hear about the truck brother. Ironic to see your video here this morning, I was just talking about you yesterday before going to the Alice Cooper concert. A friend of mine, Bob, showed me a pic he took with you when meeting you at Sam's Club.
Easy fix, buy used tow truck, just tow it around camping 😂 Seriously though that sucks, how many miles? Assuming you have the 5.3 in it, probably looking at at least 4K for a used or rebuilt engine. If it just quit like that what makes you think the engine is toast? Does it crank at all? Maybe just a fuel or ignition issue. Hopefully it's not a major issue but if it is we're here to support you. Start a gofundme, I'll donate, or can donate another way.
Thanks for the comment Its a 5.7, not sure of the mileage, I bought it used 16 years ago and the original owner put in a new engine and it had about 60,000 on the new engine it I think the odometer is reading 280,000? Two of the cylinders were fouling out the plugs after several months before the engine blew. When it blew, I thought it was a timing chain but wasn't. They tested compression and 2 had no compression and a few were weak compression and coolant was in the engine. I'm not a mechanic so I hope I worded that properly.
I just watched a 27m34s video of you giving you talking yourself into putting a new motor in it. Thats a lot of work you put into the Sqwib shack to start over.
Yeah after all the feedback and making that video I'm pushing hard to get her fixed up, My mechanic is having trouble finding an engine , everybody is saying 5 weeks minimum just to get an engine, we will see.. Thanks for commenting
I think we should start a gofundme or host a beef and beer. If that is something you would like to look into, I will assist in getting things set up. My husband snd I love your channel. Let's get the old girl back running!
Thanks, I just got rid of a 32' trail cruiser If I had a place to keep it and the cash to get one and a reliable vehicle to tow it, that would definitely be an option.
Man I am really sorry to hear this have you thought about building a van but I am a van man if not I really hope you get the Sqwibshack back up and going good luck my friend
Mr SQWIB boy, there's all kinds of commercials. I remember when you didn't have commercials. You should sign up with RUclips to get paid for your hard work that we appreciate very much 😂.You are in our prayers 🙏. And we enjoy your urban gardening blogs very much. we are kinda jealous, lol...
Sundays won't be the same. We all look forward to your videos on Sundays on RUclips. we watch some of the same RUclips channels you've mentioned. 😊 27:34
I am a RUclips partner. I originally did not want to monetize however someone that follows me commented that there were ads on my videos and I found out RUclips was putting ads on my videos without my knowledge. The person that commented suggested to monetize if I didn't, RUclips would reap the benefits of my videos. I immediately signed up to monetize. I just let the RUclips program put in the ads wherever.
@@Outside3.0 I do other things Kayaking, Camping with friends, trips to out hunting cabin, etc... I 'll have to start recording more of those trips but not everyone is happy with a camera running all the time.
Sorry to hear the SQWIB engine failed. My suggestion is to do the heart transplant. You have to much invested in the shack. My daily driver is a 94 full size Blazer with one heart transplant. Several mechanics told me to keep her on the road. Good luck with the SQWIBshack.
Man, you have been through it with that truck. I remember when it got ransacked (did they actually steal the cat?) and you just cleaned it up and kept going. Maybe upgrade to a different vehicle? Perhaps not a Sprinter or ProMaster or Transit Trail but maybe a Savanna or E250 or Astro or something? I've been looking for one but I've run into the same problem: body or frame rot. I don't want a new one but the old ones aren't kept well. I may just break down and buy a retired truck from U-Haul or something. High mileage but typically maintained well.
No the Cat wasn't taken they just cut the pipe, when I heard a crash I screamed what the hell are you doing, they probably shit themselves and took off. I was only about 30 yards from the truck in the woods. I have looked into vans as well.
Well since i started watching your videos, it's literally turned on a side of me that i never knew i had, my wife and i have worked our back side's off and well it's time to start thinking about retirement, i'm 47 back in May i had open heart surgery to replace my Mitral Valve, i'm feeling alot but, there's always that what if i stretch the wrong way at work blow something out and be dead before i hit the ground, just sell the company and get out while, my wife is 6yrs older than me, we had our daughter when i was 15, our 1st son 2 yrs later, we've got a total of 4 and 7 grand kids, so we are looking for a used 5 ton diesel Ambulance, got a friend looking as we speak, dual inverter 2 alternators, weregĝg g ĝc DC ç
Hopefully you will find what you need and be in a good place to retire comfortably. I think I'm gonna have to work till I'm 80, if I make it that long. Stay safe and thanks for commenting.

Yo Sqwibby!! You gotta lot of fans out there! Well help out with what we can give!!!
Thanks I appreciate the comment. You folks already do enough just watching and commenting on the videos.
Geez SQWIB, I'm so sorry to hear this after all ya been puttin into it. I dunno, I have a feeling this ain't the last we'll be seeing of the SQWIB Shack!
Hoping you are correct
Condolences and I hope she rides again - just got to the ending montage and that got me 🥲
I didn't realize how many adventures I had with this truck until I started looking at some older photos, thanks for the comment.
Sorry about the Sqwibshack mobile. Thanks for sharing the good times. 🤝

Man, that sucks! 🦆🦆 I hope there will still be a solution. Very nice to see you share positive memories.🤞🙏📿

Oh no... We need the Sqwibmoblie up and running! This is devastating
Hopefully it will work out.
So sorry to hear about the truck brother. Ironic to see your video here this morning, I was just talking about you yesterday before going to the Alice Cooper concert. A friend of mine, Bob, showed me a pic he took with you when meeting you at Sam's Club.
Thanks Tom. Yeah it was crazy, I was gassing up and heard, hey are you SQWIB, too funny, tell Bob I said hello.
Alice Cooper?! Awesome! One of my favorites!
Love your channel and old trucks. Be sure to bring coffee, and donuts to your mechanic when you see him. Best of luck!
My mechanic is not only my mechanic, he's my Friend and Neighbor, the poor guy cant get away from me.
I just started watching you 😢 so sorry hopefully you can find someone better

I'm sure it will work out, keeping my fingers crossed.
@@SQWIB best of luck with it, i will be following :)
start a go fund me for a Squib shack Jasper engine.
He's got enough problems without installing a jasper engine, which will add to his headaches .
No go fund me but I appreciate the comment.
@@southerncross3638 Yeah that has me worried as that may be my only option at this point
Thanks!

Just buy an RV, not that big but something that can hold up to 3 people. Love you hope to see you again on the road.

I have been looking into vans as a possible replacement.
Sweet set up with that Sub. Hopefully, you can come up with something else or similar to that in the near future.
I am definitely working on it.
Sad News hopefully you can fix it
Thanks
I think it’s worth a reconn engine Sqwib, go for it

Maybe she can have another round of adventures. I’d think a new motor would be less expensive than a new shack
Hopefully well get her back on the road again
Nice little, I think
bar in the basement ;-)
Yes it's a bar, top shelf candy bar, bottom shelf alcohol.
😢 Rip SQUIBshack
Thanks
We need Sqwib Shack!
Fingers crossed.
Nooooo, i love the old beast
Yeah me too, 16 years and it was just getting broke in, lol.

Myabe a van if the squibbshack is a goner.
I actually have been looking into vans.
Did you make this Video in the New SQWIBshack?
No this is the one and only, the original.
Nooooooooooo!
My feelings exactly.
Sounds like a timing chain broke, better off buying a bone yard engine or rebuilt.👍
That's what I thought but the chain didn't go, and we are leaning towards a remanufactured engine.
Do a SQWIBshack "Go fund me"! I'm in👍👍👍 All new drive train. Fix the A/C and all!
Then....quit the job and do RUclips full time. 😁
Too funny, wish it were that simple.
Try to find one at a junkyard.
That may be worth looking into.
Worst comes to worst just buy a Chevy Cargo Van or a Honda Element
Vans were an option.
😞😞😞
I couldn't have said it better my friend.
Call collis truck parts for used engine
I have my mechanic looking into some options
Nnnnoooooooo!
Yeah, it sucks, thanks for commenting.
@SQWIB I remember when my transmission what's on my 2002 Chevy Avalanche built on the same chassis as the Suburban. I love that vehicle and I know the Suburbans a better vehicle
6.6l duramax swap it. Or detroit diesel swap it lol
6.6 l would kill me in MPG, I was barely getting 11mpg with the 5.7
@@SQWIB youd get better with a diesel, not to mention you can easily tune it and get better fuel eco,
