love the randomly appearing tribbles
Thought I was losing it for a min until I watched one crawl up the tire 😂
That's what they are called I forgot I thought it was an adorable touch lol
@@EvanDickersonM81 me too. I just woke up I was like wthhhh😂
Nice Tribbles.
@@EvanDickersonM81 yeah same here lol
Jared, I think your on-camera style has gotten a lot better over the last year. It is particularly noticeable in the promo. Well done!
"We finished a project!" : *looks at Tavarish's garage*
Take note @Tavarish
Well to be fair, he did finish the McLaren.
Man, I always thought people were giving Tavarish too much grief about this, then I watched his everything for sale video. Nope, he had like three cars out of thirty that didn't have a laundry list of repairs they needed prior to sale. To be fair he's got a lot going on, but still.
Cant wait for the hellcat red eye build gared...just found this channel though..will subscribe..
Finish a project? Heck, thank you, Jared, for posting consistent content. The only content we get on the Tavarish channel is Car Trek. The last substantive update on the McLaren was nearly 1 year ago!
But don't take my word for it. Look at the video post history for yourself.
@@roberthernandez7564 Jared is awesome
My father in law gave us his old 04 Tahoe when he bought a new vehicle. New tires, getting the AC fixed, water pump, steering box couple belts hoses and fluids later and I'm into it for about $2700. Planning on driving this thing about 2.5 years while im saving cash like crazy for my next vehicle purchase.
Nice editing with the tribbles! At first I was wondering what the hell fell, then I heard the noise and realized what they were. I laughed when the one rolled off Jareds lap and ran away! Pretty cool little touch....
"Only makes sense with UA-cam math" . Love the honesty .
Thank you Gared for actual building content. At least you finished a build! Hope you don’t buy other car projects and never finish it and sell all of it to build a ridiculous super car. Don’t fall into that rabbit hole!😂
Hmm just like someone what is his name... Oh yeah tavarish 😂😂😂
Funny I just commented exactly the same then saw your comment.
Sounds like someone whose names rhymes with Gavarish
Plus don't buy a car from someone named Hoovie unless he has done a video of the Wizard working on it.
@@2004RADMAN or Car Ninja
I'm used to this. I bought a very cheap, low miles 95 Lebaron for $250, and all the repairs brought the cost up to $1200. It was worth it. It's a really solid car that I can drive until the transmission falls out in like 50-75k miles.
I got lucky I guess, I bought a low miles 94 Chevy van in February and all I did was change the oil and put new tires on it. I did swap seats in from a conversion in the junkyard that had almost 300K showing, so I imagine it will last a long time, 4L60E or not.
@@CR7659 my car had a known blown out coolant system. The coolant went acidic and ate through the freeze plugs. That was the vast majority of the cost. I had to pay someone about $900 to get them swapped.
This is a wonderful recap of the project, done in an informative and fun manner! I didn't catch on to the tribble joke until embarrassingly late into the video, but man did I get confused and startled when that one scurried up onto the tire! Wonderful video, gentlemen!
Thanks for the terrific content Jared! While you covered the parts, most of the cost is in the skilled labor that goes into making those parts work correctly. That's priceless really. But given what was needed, you're probably looking at another $2500 to $3000 in labor. (Even more since you don't have a lift), it's not worth the effort unless you really need this kind of vehicle. But I really appreciate watching someone who knows what to do under the car hood...
I agree. Jared did not price in the days of effort and labor that he put in. Without the UA-cam Audience this would not have been a viable project. The average hourly rate for a mechanic is 20 dollars an hour. He spent a minimum of at least 60 hours working on the car. That would be at least 1200 dollars of labor.
If you're paying someone else to do the work sure but most of what he did was fairly easy so if you do it yourself there is no labor cost just your time.
@@Phil-rs5wl the question is, what's your time worth? Has to be worth something...
This is simply stating the obvious, this is the "Wrench Every Day" channel, not the "Call your mechanic" channel. DIY is clearly implied.
Pulling a transmission with only jack stands seems like a huge pain in the ass, but the other stuff is doable if you have tools and ability to google/youtube. Buying a truck like this (as in cheap, not expecting free) can be scary, but man would I 100% prefer this sorted $6K truck than a $6K marketplace truck.
Literally finding this out via first hand experience. I've got to pay the asking price + all kinds of parts to get it sorted out.
But now I'm hesitant to sell it because I know what's been taken care of and it will hopefully be good for a while!
Jared has trouble with tribbles.
When we replace/rebuild a Trans and break a stud on the manifold we just drill it out and through bolt it
You are right. People up here in New Hampshire love those Tahoe's
Those fuzzy things appearing randomly was a nice fun touch, I expected you to look at the Supra and say "... where'd these things come from?". But it was kinda funny when they were in your lap you just looked at them like a cat jumping in your lap.
Nice to see people rescuing used cars though, both you and Tyler make me wanna start getting out there myself.
That is, indeed, "The trouble with Tribles".
This is the first project that's been completed on this channel. History!
Earl leaker is finished right?
@@3141859 if by finished you mean in a million undecided pieces, then yeah he's finished.
Johnnie Rev cries in a corner as he continues being finished..
@@TheQuestionableGarage one day man, one day...
@@TheQuestionableGarage Jonny Rev done and dusted..... For now lol
I’m happy to see that the Tribbles didn’t make it into the trash. I’d be more than happy to give them a good home!😁😁
Be careful vacuuming, those Tribbles will clog it :)
I thought I was going a bit insane with the tribble appearances - nice touch! Had to watch twice to make sure I wasn't losing my mind...
At least they're not Mogwai!
Also, when I hear "chicken farmer" as purchaser... well, I worry it's Samcrac. We'll see soon I guess!
Keep it up! Love seeing the new shop coming together!
love this channel,Jared explains everything you need to know,I'm constantly amazed by his technical knowledge 👏, my current ride is a 07 cadillac bls diesel, which has some electrical gremlins I'm working on, looking forward for the next episode
Thanks Jared. Always great to watch your videos. Greetings from Sweden
Warning Tribbles have invaded 'Wrench Every Day'! They have been multiplying since Dec 1967. I hope some didn't climb aboard the Tahoe!
Dear Jared, hope you and your family are well, i sincerely hope Tavarsh send you and your fam to a well deserved holiday (editor included). Freddy good luck with your car sales, Jared deserves an awesome holiday
I was expecting the Tribble troupe behind you to continue to multiply throughout the video. 😆
The tribbles appearing was very well done! Good job Duane on the editing and all of you on the idea.
Thanks Mas! I appreciate your kind comments :)
Congratulations, you did awesome
My Quick-Jack's were the best $1500 I've spent on shop tools.
Liked the video. The tribbles were a nice touch. I would have liked to know how much time was spent and what your labor was valued. Will have to watch all tahoe videos again. Thats not a bad thing!
Great format, I like the price breakdown retail verse your cost so we can know what we're looking at financially when starting some projects. As always your honesty and love for what you do comes through. Keep going and can't wait to follow along your journey. Now just have to keep "site A" on the straight and narrow, 🤣.
In most cases they are free for a reason
I have done two old cars and ended up spending more than I got for it when I sold it
When you add all the little bits up they really add up to a lot but when you do big things like gearboxes that’s big money
It was very interesting to watch 👍👍👍
Love the channel! Keep the projects coming.
Hell yeah love the quick jacks, they're just wonderful working on my car in the driveway. Life saver when I was changing bushings and suspension all way around
my current car i bought for $300 grand marquis with burnt up rear axle grabbed a complete axle from pnp $130 couple hrs swapping axle out been decent car ive put roughly 35k miles on it no issues
I so need a set of quick jacks. It would help me so much on just doing my maintenance on my 3 vehicles and it seems most my family has me work on their vehicles too.
Pleased to see another Tahoe keep on working. I have a 2017 Z71 in Canada. Love the 18 inch wheels, lots of winter tire options, Michelin X-Ice SNOW for me, and no air suspension at all.
I did this for my son on a 98 c1500 2WD that I bought not running $850. We redid the entire front steering and suspension replaced the rear end all the brakes, most of the engine sensors upper intake manifold and fuel injection system. Along with all the basic maintenance items. Got maybe $5k in total but it’s well maintained vehicle now.
I love the use of the tribbles! I Hope they become a normal part of the videos. Awesome!
Jared, is the old highway patrol charger your next project your giving us a glimps of or just something for the tribbles to play with? Congratulations on being a youtuber that completes projects and would love to see more how to video's as your knowledge is extensive.
Magic tribbels! 🤓
Enjoyed the video, good cost breakdown... Personally... Just between you and me and the tribbels... Maybe a 3 to 400 extra... Gotta pay for the shop too. Maybe setup for some painting along the way 😉.
Keep working the magic ✨
Great content and presentation. Love to see more build like this.
I've watched you so many times on tavarish channel, I apologize for just now subscribing !! 😅 but I'm loving your content and should of done so a while ago !
Hey Jared hope you and the guys are having a good weekend👍👍 you probably won’t believe this but I have the paperwork lol, I recently got a 2001 Sierra 1500 from my bosses friend for 500 bucks. Since the guy has multiple trucks, ( the rest of which are 2500s) he has no reason to keep it and due to a water leak on the bottom left of the dashboard and the fact that the truck needed a new water pump, he sold it to me. So far all I’ve done to it is a new water pump and I put some grease in the U joints. Other then that It’s been great. Your videos are always a big help 👍 forgot to mention the chassis has 369k on it but the engine that my shop put in last year only has about 72k on it.
Hey, great channel! A couple of comments. I would move off to the side maintenance items, like oil, spark plugs, etc. You have to do those on any car you ever have. So (to me) they are not part of the cost to bring back the car. The other is you don't figure in the cost of your time, ie, hours of labor. I guess we are going to assume we do it for the love of it. ;-) Another thing is sometimes we have to send out for some jobs to be done, example rebuild a tranny for those of us less tranny savvy.. Please stay with cheap every day fixer uppers and stay away from lambos etc..
The Tribbles were great man hahaha
Great Project Jared, good work!!!
Always stoked to listen to mr Jared! ✌️🤙
Enjoy this channel so much more than a certain other full of super cars (all for sale 🤔) and a serious lack of wrenching. So pleased this is the Jarod show as we actually get to see and learn stuff 👍
The quickjacks look interesting. Might be what I need. Cheers.🇨🇦
Editor Duane was on fire at 13:33 :)
Thanks Chris!
Gared, I do like your episodes. Your sharing your experience and knowledge is much appreciated. That said..... HOW many hours labor did you spend repairing it? That would be an additional factor I bet doubles your cost of repair for those folks that are not mechanically inclined.
That Tahoe was definitely supposed to go to the junkyard with all those problems. Thanks for making this video to clarify the financial side of it that many people always seem to just gloss over like it's not worth mentioning. We have all gotten into projects like this where had we known what was involved before we started, would have chosen differently. I buy, fix, and flip motorcycles and I end up parting out a lot of them because the numbers just favor that a lot of the time.
Over 280k miles and over 9950 hours on my stock 4l60e in our 2004 suburban. (I read somewhere and I think it was for 2004 model year that they upgraded some internals of the transmission or something like that, or maybe a different year)
It has been family owned since about 15k miles
I apparently did its first transmission filter service at roughly 215k miles or so, still going strong.
My transfer case though likes to decide on its own what gear it wants to be in.
Engine has been replaced once.
Desert truck so almost no rust besides possible surface rust from Utah lol. Although with the desert nearly all of my suspension is worn and dried out.
I know that the wife loves her burbon, all it needed as far as performance is a low lift cam and it's perfect
Hi Jared nice video and workmanship the car is snazzy
Years ago I got a audi a8l because I needed rear lights for my audi s8. Got it cheap as it needed a air spring. Turns out car was pretty good mecanically so Ive done the needed services to bring it back to life. I factored in a transmission rebuild but it refuses to give up.
It's now got 554k km (~344k miles) and still good on that original transmission. With all the money I put in, I could hardly get a similar one and it would need timing belt (thats when all those cars get sold as it is costly). I even did a video about the TB service so thats good for content lol.
My 2 wheel drive 97 Surburban has been acting up for several years .. I did a fluid filter change "old filter seal sucked to remove" using high mileage fluid ... That helped , used Lucas additives .. Now on to shudder fix .. It's holding for moment , but gonna have to tear we down 1 day .. 4l60 e swap to 4L80 e is prolly gonna be my fix if I find 1 cheap , tho .
Tribbles were a nice touch Scotty aka Jared. You did an awesome job!
Great content on the Tahoe. Looking forward to Supra time!!
Jared Pink ! Love Your Work & Content, Sir.
Can confirm just picked up my third one of these trucks ...6 or 7 thousand is right.but taken care of they will last forever,I've gotten over 350 on my two older ones...love the content Jared..Happy Halloween brother..
you and tavarish have used quickjacks before (iirc, the 3000gt find/fix/drive). i hope yours work better than mine do.
And what’s with the highway patrol car?
Thanks for the update and cost. I think 4l60e is a good transmission. Without proper maintenance most of the issues with that truck were caused by lack of maintenance and I dare say abuse. Keep up the great content.
In the south, most of these are RWD only. They burn through rear ends at about 85K.
Thanks for the content Jared
Jared, LOVED the Tribbles‼️ I also LOVED the Tahoe series, actually more than the super cars that I will NEVER own😳 Quick Jacks are AWESOME; thanks for getting the word out👍
I would love to buy an old muscle car and restore it (to the best of my ability) but unfortunately I don't have the space in my garage and my HOA wouldn't like a beat up car sitting in my driveway for months.
So with Tavarish selling everything, are you going to take one of his wrecks to work on? It is not like he is starving for projects. *watching sales video* Almost every car he is selling is still a project to be completed.
The sales videos was somekind of a trend. Many car channels have recently done that. Also WatchJR did that, as well WinViki and so on. So most likely not an actual sales (except for Hoovie)..
not like he works on anything anyway.
@@TimoLahti Tavarishs sales video was somewhat weird. We can bid on his cars and by them, but payment is due when they are finished. I don't think he'll sell too many of his cars.
I have got to get some of those quick jacks
Funny you said we finished a project, I didn't see Freddie give you a hand on that at all. Maybe we missed it lol. Keep up the great work Jared 👍
You all hang out in the shop too! We all did it. Without an audience we don’t have a show.
That's cool.
Now,I HAVE to see that quickjacks video with Supra!!!!
I always get my stuff from rock auto you can get name brand parts for cheap part prices
I would have hit a you pull yard for the big parts. Just pick from one marked R/D and look it over good.
This is the best way for people to save money...particularly for those who live outside the rust belt. The amount of money spent on new vehicles blows my mind.
Watching someone sit and talk is usually boring, but adding the tribles was a nice touch and a good way to keep people's attention
Considering how much they want for new ones now you could have spent thousands more and it would have still been worth it!
Love this format of video.
Jared we had to leave you something to do. Plus we probably would have gotten the hoses crossed and instead of lifting the car it would have lowered the car.
Love the quick jacks. If I had those when I was working on cars 30 years ago it would have been much easier and less dangerous. If I get another project those will be part of my budget.
lol loved the little fuzzballs. You should have them congregate around things that are wrong in future videos.
Any GMT 800 is worth putting money into as long as there isn’t major rust on the frame. They are simple yet modern and will be on the road forever. Mine has 340k and I never have regretted spending anything on it
Tribbles! Jared I only get a 30 minute lunch break, I know what a quick jack is..... ohh.
Supra just looks so epic in the background.
I KNEW those tribbles were gonna be trouble...
Damn those furballs (Tribbles) keep multiplying FAST. RUN!!!½!
Quick Jacks are awesome! I love mine!
The Trouble With Tribbles!? 🕸
Me too, love the tribbles
Great video 👍
I could really use a pair of those quickjacks, my car is too low for 'low car' rated ramps. The 2014 Ford Fusion is just a pit of poor design for self maintenance.
Good video. I see what ya did there, you may need a few cats to take care of that problem =D Thanks for making everything clear. With Legit (alex) you are in my top Fav Mechanics on YT . Keep on wrenching!
You got ripped of Jared. These transmissions usually sell for about $12-1300....
For a rebuilt with a nation wide warranty? Where?
So jealous! I want a set of those quick jacks!
That disappearing bangstick between 0:21 and 0:23
Yeah the idea of quickjacks is really tempting.
What rims do you have on the supra?
Great that you don’t sell all your cars to buy a supercar 😂
The struggle is real. I bought a '99 C2500 SCLB OBS GMT400 with a known blown head gasket (The bad kind....water into oil). Eyes wide open, I knew I'd be in the truck around $8K when it was all said and done. Worth it to me, but to most, they would run in the opposite direction. But now I have a 22 year old NEW Truck with 3 year 32,000 mile warranty on the drive train. In my opinion, it makes more sense than paying for anything new that's of lesser quality (China made no matter what US manufactures are willing to admit). Zip~
The trouble with Tribbles is they are too cute to ask them to leave. 😎👍🍁
I'm considering buying a set of Quickjack. I can't wait to see them in action.
100% worth having them if you can’t fit a lift, they now have longer and taller lifting quick jacks that make it fantastic. These lifted Johnnie(long wheelbase international) and the 91 Supra very easily and secure.
@@TheQuestionableGarage Thank you ! I was a little hesitant, but you convinced me
I see you are having some trouble with Tribbles! 4L60Es can be solid if you upgrade the internals. Great cost analysis. Nothing is free, ever!
