(11,363 characters)yeah trucks on fire in the in the driveway I'm like the Blazer that's staying pretty true to its name you know did you take a look at where the frame broke on that thing wait what oh I see no I didn't see oh holy crap yours under warranty then if no it was out of warranty by 2 weeks I can't I can't make this stuff up when I saw New Orleans got 10 in I was like got to be kidding me why oh no everything's got to be newer we can't give you that Ford guarantee oh God yeah so you guys want to see $130 caliber like this one's turning into a [Music] thing all right the boys came down what what do you guys got cooking uh working on my car cuz the rear end blew apart on it it's turning into a thing man it's turning into a thing when Sammy says it's turning into a thing you know it's turning into a thing yeah it's a thing it's a thingz he's usually pretty chill on when even the thing he's like bad you've seen the sh work like this one's turning into a thing you guys want to see $130 caliber yeah what that little guy 130 bucks why is that 130 bucks that's what I'm saying that was with the core there a $60 core on that thing it's just a b little baby caliper maybe it's got to do with the what is this it's all the e bra stuff cuz it's a five spe the automatic ones are like 40 bucks but since this one since it's a 5-speed with all the integrated e bra stuff on there yeah right there that'd be that'd be cheap that would that would have knocked 80 bucks off right it didn't not have that spin like can hold your fingers in there and oh jeez so your back your back end blew out no the hubs were that that one's just about toast sucker no they're cooked yeah that's I kind of want to cut it open and see what's left in there but probably had flame shooting out of your oh dude this uh caliper was completely locked that one was locked and everything the difference loed up on that side the difference between the rotors was a/4 in so this one was just dragging mhm oh you already got that one huh this caliper is still good huh pain hooking up Rusty parts to new parts to Rusty hey hey Zack do you remember that wine in the back end of the Ford wine remember when we were out yeah yeah yeah you're you're yeah it was whining like as little out as my car was yeah so I brought it to Lucky Dog garage over in Lakeland Timmy shop there they changed the fluid they said said there's no metal shavings there's no chunks they put it back together they didn't charge me a dime for doing it they're like we didn't find anything wrong except for fluid and they said it the backlash needed to be adjusted now get a load of this they couldn't do that so they I went to Ford in Inver gr Ford yeah exactly exactly cuz it take certain tools right yeah they called me up yesterday oh yeah we got to rebuild the whole rear end I'm like there's no metal shavings and I know there's no chunks in there why oh no everything's got to be newer we can't give you that Ford guarantee oh God yeah so that that inrow Ford is crazy um so there was a recall on um my dad's got 98 250 and that generation there was a recall on the uh gas tank straps right yeah so he found out about it brought it in there to get him switched cuz it was a recall you know yep they busted a hole in his gas tank left it like that said it was ready me and my dad are walking to go go pick it up and we were like wow I really smell gas didn't even see the truck got over to where the truck was parked and there was the entire contents of the gas tank underneath the truck all over and then they then my dad fought with them for like several days cuz they were saying it was already like that when you brought it in or whatever and you could see where it cracked when they put the new straps on and stuff like that so they compromised and he had to buy a new gas tank oh jeez so yours is yours under warranty then if they're no it was out of warranty by two weeks I can't I can't make this stuff up I I you're not getting the for stamp of approval and so I said I said I said just just do the backlash adjustment I don't need Ford's freaking guarantee on this thing he quotes me 750 bucks because of the oil and the silicone and I'm thinking silicone that's like 15 cents of silicone but he mentioned that silicone like seven times to me but then he calls me back and I don't even know how they could get this this wrong this is the weather people would love this guy he calls me back oh I misquoted it's going to be 1150 I was going to say 750 does not sound right up there dude minimum th000 drop another two zeros on there and maybe so he misquoted by 50 freaking per. 50% oh that that happened to me when I was getting those uh I mean I got a 98 F-150 people are going to know how those freaking exhaust manifolds are you know and the the same thing happened to me he he quoted me at like 1,500 bucks and ended up being like three grand well what was it the third time we had to find hubs for this thing cuz they kept sending you the wrong Parts yeah they kept they sent me ones for automatic twice the the hubs are a little different if I didn't have them on there already I'd show you the pressed on they don't got spines yeah well the same ones over around the counter there oh yeah yeah they they they sent the front ones the last time and then it was whatever the last it was like a 2,000 the last time other time yeah they're not they don't got the splines in there they just press press on I guess we didn't give them back that part I don't know how the heck you guys are able to get those new parts to marry on to that rusty old frame under there D you seen you seen you seen the vehicle got it dialed in Sam why do you think I called the Sam he's the expert of rust Z Zach has a new business idea this this is just for other contractors at snowplow we're going to buy a portable snow machine and take it to people's lots and then uh we're just going to fill up their is that the plan Z yeah yeah yeah we're just going to drive around until it's deep enough in the and and then uh we uh go away and then they call us and come come in yeah it's SN it just snowed over that lot it conveniently snowed all of a sudden yeah it only snowed at the hourly account Lots that's super weird conveniently missed the one the the monthly account sorm do that I didn't see that snowstorm that just dipped and left left us and went to Iowa and everywhere else that's true that's what every snowstorm has been doing so far let get you all excited ooh end of the month here it comes Florida was the snow here comes it's going to get busy that was crazy Florida was the snowiest state in the freaking country for couple of days there yeah when I saw New Orleans got 10 in I was like you got to be kidding me like first time in like a 130 years I think they were saying they had any sort of accumulation down there we haven't had a 10in storm here yet they said Remember the big deal was at the end of the month we were going to get 30 oh yeah oh yeah 35 in remember that well hey it's the end of the month is it the end of the month what is the date today it's the 30th isn't it something like that yeah what the 30 today now we're now we're maybe going to get an inch on Saturday maybe well hopefully you're going to have to figure out you're going to have to start figing out your uh anniversary cuz last year you you didn't you didn't get out of it y I got ice fishing trip planned this weekend so that now there's birthday this weekend now there's a chance of snow why not nothing forever and then you once you plan something it's like oh yeah yeah you should have planned something a long time ago Timmy we would have been working yeah should plan more things we got to plan more things all of us need to plan more things it can snow next week like it's supposed to I'd be all right not plowing on my birthday NE yep I agree I hear you you got buy some shocks for what yeah don't you see where did you take a look at where the frame broke on that thing wait what oh I see no I didn't see what is this one though this is the I thought you had the other truck up there your frame broke no I bought it I got this for I bought it for the motor but I got a super good deal on it cuz the frame broke right back here behind the behind the leaf spring right there can we just weld her up no no no welding her up no taking her in oh something's in my ey oh yeah yeah where do you see it right there man watch your eyeballs oh holy crap holy crap yeah that's there's nothing to weld to yeah no there there ain't no weld in that I just need the motor you don't really need that part of the frame there Sam it's just pass the axle dude you got all the weight right on the axle there yeah you could just probably put some blocks in the front just oh we had one of these it blew up in our driveway I love this this vehicle I bought I bought one of these from Frankie and that was probably one of the best vehicles I I really like these blazes this one's just so this Blazer on the S10 I got it's got like new suspension and all that you called me one morning and you're like oh yeah it's yeah trucks on fire in the in the driveway I'm like the Blazer that's staying pretty true to its name you know yeah so what we found out was it shorted itself out and it cooked itself from the inside out the the fire department said if we had a window crack the thing would have t taken our house with it cuz it was parked right in the driveway next to the house so it snuffed itself out when we brought it in they told us we weren't allowed to talk about it what we weren't allowed to but I had the same thing Happ so they said we're not allowed to talk about it um to the the dealer but then I had right after that I had a Dodge Charger remember that black Dodge Charger yeah way back I had that Dodge Charger I'm driving down the road it starts smoking out in the cab I got all my kids in the back and they're laughing this isn't funny kids yeah I'm like they're laughing they're giggling thinking it's funny and I'm like okay let's pull over so they're screaming They're laughing so hard so it sounded like kids were screaming in the car oh God so I just recorded that part and I turned it into Dodge cuz of course it was out of Warrant oh yeah and I said okay well you got two options Dodge you don't have to honor the warranty and rewire my car that just burned up while I was driving in it with my kids and I'll just put this video out into the world and let's see what happened and Dodge came back to me and said I'm never allowed to show that video never allowed to show and they'll honor the warranty which you sign something yes it was out of warranty by like 1,400 miles that was it but I think it's weird how them warranties are you know oh they always go out something breaks it was like dang my warranty was up 6 days ago some catastropic failure almost like they they design the parts so they to go just out of cuz you know Ford's not going to fix them rear ends no as long as they're going out right after the warranty they're not going to fix that crap that's a that's a bonus and then they'll give the they'll give the mechanics fixing it they'll you know be like 2 hours on the the flat rate guys on something that's going to take him a day yeah I am going to do my damnest to never buy anything newer than a 2012
