    Hey Eric. You asked for feedback on what people want to see. In my humble opinion, I think the key to your ongoing success on UA-cam is to keep mixing it up.....don't let your channel stagnate, and also don't be afraid to think outside the box for content ideas.

  • @johnforster5312

    I'd actually love to see some videos where you take a crashed vehicle and film the tear down on it, showing which parts are junk, which parts are good and the process of dismantling a wrecked vehicle, especially when considering damaged bodywork or running gear etc. Seeing how engines are constructed by deconstructing them is great and I'd imagine that the same would be true for full vehicles. It could even be a series of videos on one particular vehicle, until the remains are scrapped.

I love this manual everything except the 3 speed automatic transmission. It fits your model of a totalled car brought back to clean unbranded title and like new quality. New a/c system all new! New struts all 4. Four new tires too.
    I keep it full of gas and clean oil, transmission fluid etc. It is a keeper!
    Thanks for trying to salvage the truck. I enjoyed watching!! If more people checked and filled their oil we may not have so much fun with your weekly tear downs. Love your excellent entertainment!!❤

    This is actually the perfect video, because it shows that your business isn't just snarfing up $1000 cars and selling $10,000 of parts. It's often spending $800 to have to spend another $800 to make $1500. Sometimes it's just like that. Really too bad for this one, as it's 20 years old and still has rockers and stuff, but wow, whoever rolled it managed to get every single panel done in. That takes skill and attention to detail.

    I've purchased multiple trucks like this from copart over the years, when the frame collapses it will break the starter, and sometimes the bosses for the AC compressor bracket.
    After replacing the starter, every one of them ran perfectly fine. Since I only used the engines on LS swaps, the ac compressor problem was never an issue.
