[Mind your chest cold] Youve been sounding under the weather for a few weeks now. By the time this video is out youll be feeling better I hope. Take care of you Brent! OK, now its time to watch the video.
My wife and daughters have had that creeping crud for 3 weeks! Coughing, sick etc. I've been spared. I'm 65. I think I'm just too damn ornery for that virus!
I worry too! 😣
Bourbon with honey and lemon helps
I saw a recipe online, simer some lemon peels, 3 with 1 grapefruit peel. With 1 qrt of water for 20 minutes. Strain and let cool. Drink 2 ounces 3 times a day. Till gone. I did it and within 3 days I cleared all that crap out.. worked great !
You gotta take Pablo. He waits , he in his glory . It's what he lives for. What a dude.
I watched this video and I’ve come to conclusion I will never tear into an automatic Transmission. More power to ya Brent.. You’re the man!!👍👍
Brent unbelievable talent. Poor Pablo waiting patiently for his dad to take him.
I am watching you! I went to Auto Tech School 1967-1969 and we had Automatic Trans courses GM, Ford, Chrysler. It is a very rare dude that can assemble these things without the manual and diagrams and pictures and sequence of parts. There are too many parts to keep straight in a normal persons head. This is incredible talent and skill. Simply Amazing focus and drive and Talent. Wow! Dennis
Could not have said it better myself!
Hello Brent, good fix on the trans. Back in action. That's a Win 👍 Sound like you're feeling a little rough. Take care and stay healthy. Always enjoy watching your program. 👍👍👍
Brent, your skills set is incredible! Making three transmissions into one. Way cool!
9:40 I can see Pablo going "oh no, my human is talking to no one again"
I don't know what it is about Pablo but I know one thing, he's one awesome Dog, I'm sure you would agree. LOL He's got one awesome temperament you can tell, he just adores his master or his best friend, he's one loyal dog I know that much.
It's obvious that you've done many of these and know all of the ins and outs. For the vast majority of us, the word clueless comes to mind.
Love your positive attitude in the face of adversity. It's just time and plowing ahead. Get well soon.
Your persistence is admirable. You obviously love what you do.
There's a song, Man of constant sorrow. You are a man of constant Knowledge. You get into a project and make it work properly , your way. You never give in to failure , and on a day when something pulls at your health you keep on with a laugh that is as infectious as your flue .Give Pablo a pat for me , he is as true to you as a dog can be .Thanks for the education , I sure appreciate it. God Bless You , stay well .Stuart in Ontario......................
Richard at Precision Transmission is very knowledgeable. He does all my transmission work. If you have no apply to the throttle valve the pressures are to low and you will burn the transmission up.
Turbo 350s are SO COOL ! Very simple. You & wife & dogs need a VACATION!. It's 24C & very sunny in West Palm Beach Fl. today. Let the dogs run on the beach. Get a nice suntan
Brent enjoy the winter don’t forget to take us and Pablo along for some rides👍❄️🇨🇦
If you did a few more I think Pablo will know how to do this! Nothing phases you. Many would give up . I've never understood how automatic transmissions work. But they do,for the most part.
What a nice pair of trucks. The General for the heavy hauling and this one for everything else - including dumping !. Who needs new ? Your skills built them both, all the Fab work and mechanic work. Super ! Thanks Brent.
Well done you for sticking with this Brent. For someone who doesn’t claim to know much about auto gearboxes and had no new parts you really did do an incredible job ……… AND while also fighting off a stinking cold. Please get well soon.
Hey Brent nice fix on the trans, Very cool shot of the underside of the truck on road test
oooow, poor Pablo don't get a ride. Well HK, I hope on your next short video is to give Pablo a very good ride for a change cuz you owe him... lol, but true. Glad your transmission got fixed.
*- Impressive. I am glad for you, Brent.*
*- Perseverance in problem solving.*
*- I would have been a wreck.*
People in AZ said they can hear that thing comin' down the road!! MINT!!!!
I don't understand it, I watched every minute, stopped it when I had to take a leak and I never saw the other person that came in and fixed it, it really looked just like you did the whole thing yourself, dam I'll watch it again tomorrow. But it sure looked like you did all of that, what a JOB!! Fine work sir !
Glad to get educated on transmission rebuild, May not complain next time I need one rebuilt, very complicated and above my skills. Glad you showed and as always am amazed on how you know everything and willing to show others, Great video
After all that work, it looks like your golden Brent!
Now you are off to the races Brent!
Precision Transmission are the go to guys for big 3 transmission rebuilds and their video library is great for the DIY
Superb work Brent. You show what perseverance can achieve. Take care of yourself :)
With all the Trans troubles I forgot it was a dump bed until you used it at the end of your videos, lol God bless yall real good
Congrats Brent on the second time taken-out the trans, it works great now.. looks great. Cool Pablo and Buddy doing their thing in the garage..
Gotta love Pablo and Buddy ! Interesting episode, thanks.
he ain't heavy he's my brother,,," Pablo,,, N Buddy"
I'm happy to see Pablo there he is very good.
This guy's incredible, his work ethic is off the charts. He even takes out the garbage on a test drive can you believe it. All while sick as a dog. 🤯 Wow Brent hope you're feeling better! Take it easy catch ya next time brother. 😉✌
I turned on your video. Then ran to the fridge to get a drink. The music began to play while you were taking apart the transmission. I thought I was listening to the end of a Mortske video. Lol!
As I struggle to understand my new central heating control I am amazed at how unfazed you are taking apart and remaking that transmission!
I will keep watching your videos forever, and again and again. Thank you!
You got yourself a neat work horse & tipper to boot 👢 .you won the battle Brent 👍🇨🇦🛠🔧⚒
What a great machiene .I changed out 2 junk yard transes on my 78 cutless and 2 in a 79 caprice I was feeling for you Brent. That's awsome. I'm guessing the victory is twice as sweet.sounds like a double wobble pop is in order,lol! Thanks again Brent 👍
Well big brother.... we hung out with ya just to see the out come. Wow came close to giving up. But at the end you "Halfass Kustom" it.. Well you know what I mean... you worked with what you had with a great outcome....."you the man"
Way back in the 90's when I first got my 65 Mustang we went on holiday to the Isle of Wight (just off the south coast of England). The wife, two kids dog and a boot full of luggage. Just as we were getting to the hotel I lost all but 1st gear. I was thinking big bills and no car for the holiday but it turned out to be the little rubber hose on the modulator. What a relief as it was an easy fix. Later on the holiday the ignition coil packed up and the car kept stalling. Luckily another easy fix as any coil would do in a temporary situation
Wow. That’s a lot of pieces. Glad you have a handle on that. I’m sure lost! 😂
Hey Brent,weld a nut on the back side of the tranny pan and run a bolt in out to check the threads,what we do at work,and I'll catch ya on the next one
Minty !
Thank You for sharing your video, and letting us hang out .
Later ...
Ok how many of you guys went aaww when he left Pablo behind with that sad look on his face? This is one cool looking truck, glad you got the transmission right. I lost count how many times you had it out and back in. What would you say the actual hours were?
I haven't had a trans apart since 1968, and don't care to ever do it again. Hats off to you for attempting this.
I was expecting it to work the first time, and crossed my fingers on the second run . Glad the truck is Mobile again and i really like the truck. Nice !
This brought back bad memories for me. This is why I’m a stick man. Good luck with it👍
That tilt bed on the 55 is awesome Brent!
Great job. I’m sitting on my couch watching your video this Saturday thinking I should go outside and do something, nope, raining like hell out. Thanks for sharing.
Like, share and tell a friend. 300K
Hi Brent, Pablo won't be happy with you, leaving him at home.
when I did that with our blue healer not take her to the shop she barked at me, told me off .
you don't sound good, get well soon, and happy new year.
In the morning my Birmingham roller pigeons get work up, seeing me all 53 of them D.Ks lofts.

Good ol Pablo🐾Thanks for the video Brent 🍺
Your ability never ceases to amaze me Brent. Stripping & rebuilding an auto like a pro is very impressive to say the least. Is there anything you can't do? Love your work Mate. Billy J.... Queensland, Australia. 🚥🚦🚥🚦🚧
With persistence ,you win .....
Amazing skills.....
New Zealand 🇳🇿.
It happens to the best of us.
Never too old to learn and I'm old. Never tackled an automatic myself. Opened manuals and fixed on them but I was always too concerned about what I didn't know with the automatics. Thank you for an in depth look at what's in those mystery boxes lol.
If I get anything out of your videos, which I do, a lot. Its the never give up, just work through it attitude you have towards all levels of suck. Works in areas outside the garage as well. Especially when others notice. Thank you for another fine video.
Way to go Brent! Two times a charm . . . . Rog
Very good result, not the first time you had a transmission apart. And building one of 3 junkers...that's really a gamble but you succeeded with a working transmission again.
Cheers from Texas 🤠
Glad to see you got the trans working properly. I really like the gray interior paint with the matching gray seat it looks clean and comfortable. I'd be ok with the old patina look on the outside as long as the inside looked nice and had a seat that fit my butt correctly. :). Really nice build with a working dump bed something I would really like to own someday. Keep up the hard work work and awesome content.
Cool truck time for some linseed oil or whatever You use to make that patina pop. 😎👌
A golden episode, I know nothing about gearboxes but you make it look so easy, even if this was a test for you.. best wishes to you and Ester for 2023, I really enjoy your content and looking forward to the next build. Cheers
That sure looks like a Manitoba hunter safety crest on your sleeve👍👍
Tear it up I like it
Take it apart and "smash it back together "😁 the music and your easy going personality makes your video awesome and comical 👍
Bummer..It grits on me whenIhave to lick my calf over again..I can imagine..You;re still the best..Paul in Ohio..
I kinda wondered why no drain plug in the transmission pan cause it seemed like when I did it, I never had to drain for a ah sh** moment and to me thats just a friday the thirteenth thing. A couple ideas or just thoughts running crazy in my brain box is a build for just doing a transmission where you mount it in the stand, turn it on and then spin the transmission up to see just how good it is or not. Guy like you could do the thinking of it (concept thing) and then when Karl make his appearance on the show, make him do the CNC part for cutting out all of the pieces and bits. About the only difference in the way you do it and his method of cutting something out is his way of stacking everything on a sheet of metal and then go have a beverage while it does all the work. Although not a lot of difference in ages, he is going to be a force in fab work someday. He is good now but I feel like his talents are just beginning. I can hardly go without saying though, you see, and that means a done thing before its even done or started and he needs a direction to get started! I know that you don't appear to like doing paint for a top of the line finish.... more the patina look and other folk can't wait to see a dripping in water finish like Tony Lang does... I just may have that last name spelled way wrong but his paint is kinda famous for sema jobs. My other idea that has already been done by you when you get around to doing is a stand for a transmission for rotating or just stacking in the parts. Not too sure of how many transmissions have the provision for mounting on a stand to work on them but all of the old junk I worked on seemed to adapt well to being stood up where its lower to the ground than the bench and the different fluids can drain into a drip pan under it. I learned like you I can imagine by a need for a transmission and my pockets said to do it myself. I had a lot of parts left from trying for a while but then got good enough to go through the piles and make another one from scrap. Always feels good to just take something someone else tossed and fix and sell it back to them with some Kylon on it to raise the values of them. I took one apart that the other guy did, found the C clip he never got it in and seated good so its just floating in there... thats where I stopped and just put it back together to have a great transmission in about a hour. In those days, I was about the name and reputation rather than the money so gave it to him for the price of paint, a hours work (too cheap) and he puts it in and was elated on how good it worked. Had he just made sure the clip was in, would of saved him fifty dollars total cost to him for everything plus I was there when he installed it so just gave him my time helping... few years later he had to tow my wife out of the ditch... a gentle slide in so took about ten to fifteen minutes and he charged us two hundred dollars so when you do a good dead, can figure its not coming back.
Excellent video Brent :) also remember years ago when did my Auto Mechanics shop classes in Turbo 400 3 speed transmission for my late Dad & Uncle share a 1978 GMC High Series Serria Scottdale 25 3/4 ton 2 wheel drive 411 rear ends gears with 350 V8 ! What happened he couldn't get From D to L2 , L1 on gear shifter what happened he had cable need change and then found L2 wouldn't work what happened the band had lost screw hold in place was sitting on filter to get screw back ! So drain fluid out to plus new filter plus gasket to and before put together my Auto Mechanics shop classes teacher said want give shift kit in transmission he liked for free for credit classes mark and did to ! Then gave back my dad & uncle asked me how shift works so told them and tried out and say love it with shift kit more better stock Lol! I said be nice to old transmission Lol and did! Then got me do to 1990 Chevrolet Cheyenne 2500 3/4 ton too other pick up they had and service to! Also hope chest cold clears up Brent and feeling better soon too 🙏!
Happy you managed to get it sorted, keeping my fingers crossed that it sticks right.
Brent I new if any body could make it work I could glad to see old boy back in action 🙂love that truck but that what happens with using used parts 😞hope Pablo didn't get mad cause he did not get to ride later
Great job, hoped to see the bed go up and down. Just love that thing.
Happy wife, happy life.take care of that cold
Another great one. In the end the old '55 is on the road again. Great to have spares and friend with spares. Amazing amount of talent. Be safe and stay well.
..hi Brent....whew....that was a pretty good fight....I've done maintenance on transmissions, but have never seen one disassembled before...much respect for your knowledge and confidence...glad the Napco is back in the fleet...
I'm glad you got it back on the road again 👍! Take care of yourself you sound like you have a cold 🥶. Thanks for the video.
Nice job Brent pat hart longbeach Washington
You can check your governor for your shift and make sure the little plunger and there's going up and down as for the leaky leaking on your front pump make sure that very bottom bolt the housing is not cracked
Take care of that cold! Get Plenty of liquids! Cheers 🍻
Great job Brent, thanks for showing us.
Glad it all worked after great determination 👍👍
Totally Amazing, doing it by yourself with no extra hands that would get in your way, Thanks!.....
Hey uncle again today,
Coolness
The more I watch you, I see there is nothing you can’t do. Very impressive
She's running better than ever 👍
Your skill is only exceeded by your patience, wrenches would have been flying in my garage😂 turbo 250 trans were used behind Chevy V6’s around 80 ish I believe. Glad you sorted it out 👍🏻
The shot of the dump bed in action at the end very cool
Good deal thanks
Sweet.fixed that trans..what a great Truck...pablo is pissed..you know he wanted to ride..man that worked out great being able to find that short shaft you needed...great job...
Pablo is adorable!
Enjoyed the video !! Thank you !!! Take care of yourself !!!!! God bless you and yours !!!! Eddy
You're happy, I'm happy
We knew you could do it Brent.
Now you can shift back to your new project! 😁 good vid Brent! 👌
Your videos are so cool. I feel your pain on the trany rebuild. Man that thing sounds good. Best wishes!
I rebuilt many auto trans over the years with much success, but I rarely had any problems with manual transmissions, other than clutches and throw out bearings..
I got stressed out right along with you on this one 😝
I Love that Truck! 😀👍 it’s a Real Going to Town Rig! 😉👌
Brent you the man ! Hands down the best you tube channel out there. Your can do attitude rocks 🤑👍👍👍
That is a win!
Mr. You are a jack of all trades I did a few manuals over the years nothing like that great watch 👍👋🇨🇦
