Today's video is another day at work! We are a full service auto salvage business and I try to buy as many 99-07 GM Trucks as I can. This 2003 Silverado went cheap! All in, I was just over $800 including delivery, which seemed like a huge win at the time.
WELL! The auction is a gamble. I did not know mileage. I did not know if it would run, or what was damaged or how bad. I bid based on seeing the rear axle, and a few other parts I can sell. Most of the time, the gamble pays off. I've been doing this long enough where I can way the risks and worst case its not a loss, but not a huge win. Today we dive into this truck to see how I did. What survived, what didn't, what I can sell and what I can't.
I really hope you enjoyed this video. As always, I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism.
Catch you on the next one!

Please do more of these Eric, these videos are excellent.
Love how you polished a turd. Very poetic.
Just add gritter to it
I love the teardowns but honestly I like these even more. More please!

Hey Canadian brother.
@DDE_ADDICT hey brotha, hope you and your health are well.
"I bought it at the auction, where I buy most of my mistakes..." LOL, stuff like this is why you have your audience. Keep it up.
Looks like it had a run in with Arkansas State Patrol. 🤣🤣🤣
it might have......
ASP doesn't f around with those PIT manoeuvres 😂
😂
Only if it was a Chrysler product
Perhaps an AR trooper gave it the byrd...
More of these please. I like to watch the ups and downs of these videos. Watching you get a wreck running is an education. Thanks
'We'll cross that bridge when it falls down' - love it!
Love seeing this sort of thing too.
I can imagine your wife looking in the driveway whenever you come back from an auction going "W... T... F..." 😅
If I brought this stuff home, there would be no wife 🤣
That's the key. He turned his stash house into a business and as long as it turns a profit, she's happy, and he gets to keep buying dumb shit and hoard parts and cars he doesn't want her to know about
That's what we refer to in the business, as a win-win
Yes Eric, more of these please!
@@t-yoonit so the man is clearly a genius that has perfected life

Yes lets see more. Reusing some parts that would just become scrap is a win. And opening hoods with a forklift makes good content.
Turning the hood into an advanced design folding hood.
These “just another day at work” videos are my favorites. Please continue!
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.
I actually like content that resembles more of a normal person at work in their business.
Much better than "reaction content"!
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'd like to see this process too. No-one seems to go to that length at the moment, they just list the stuff that might be salvageable off the top of their heads. Then the next episode is another car 😞
Damn, i thought that intro was going to go into a "can't polish a turd...wait yes I can!" joke. Ah well.
Polish it all you want, it's still a turd.
Same!
Same here!!
I love how committed you are to fully carrying out whatever the joke is and taking much farther than the average person to make it extra funny.
You need to open a comedy club, and be a headliner there. You missed your calling. Oh sorry you ruined the headliner. Love it
Looked like you may have burnt through the clear in a small spot, might as well junk it now.
I didnt know it was possible, but this type of video is somehow even more interesting than the normal disassembly videos, you are really awesome
These “Will it Run” videos are my absolute favorites! Great stuff.
I would like to see more of these from you as a Salvage Yard owner. Plus your scrapped tow yard vehicle video rehabs are entertaining too.
Thank you for posting Eric.
Please check tire pressure and maybe check the alignment...if my eyes are good i would say that vehicle is not level...it's leaning to one side
I want the water pump , don't chuck it !
I need a timing chain and guides!
I need a busted in half vortec engine.
I want the chain guides
It's probably the only thing not ruined lol. The fan clutch tho...
I called dibs on that oil pan
I bought a new 2003 Silverado. I drove it almost 200,000 miles. Never had any trouble with it. Replaced one battery kept it serviced. Best truck I ever owned. It was also black
I'm always down for more "just another day at the office". Came for the engine teardowns, stayed for the "everything else".
After all, You Do Cars, and I for one am down for you doing the entire car, rather than just its engine.
Yes Eric! More of these types of videos please.
I'd love to see you do more of this kind of content.
And if that engine is bad and you're gonna tear it down for parts anyway, I hope we see it on Saturday night.
Entertainment value is a 10! More please.😊
I think you have an overwhelming response Eric. Yes, we want more of these videos!
Haven't watched a video of yours in a couple of months, the comedic quality has definitely gone up a few levels. Died laughing at finding the medication in the cab.
Great video guy!
What a shame to see such a rust free 800 series wrecked like that.
Eric, I enjoy these ‘day in the life’ videos. It’s good to see the effort you put into every aspect of your business!
I have a unique antique; a 90 Geo Storm with 93k miles. It just passed Oregon Dept of environmental quality clean air test and has a new registration & lic tags. 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!!❤
Probably gets better gas mileage than that POS 3 cylinder turbo Nissan rogue he just tore down.
Doing more for the environment than 10 newly manufactured hybrids
@@NoName-qs6ei most new cars are less fuel efficient than their older versions these days.
my old corolla gets better mpg than a new ones do. wild.
When cars were ....cars, and not computers on wheels. I drive a 2006 economy car with 46k.
@@3rdGenGuyit’s the‘emissions’ kit that makes them use way more fuel!! and how is that cleaner???
I enjoy these videos. As a lot of people, my favorite content is the engine teardowns, but I definitely like these too. Keep up the great work.
"I've got a tool for this" and I go "oh sh!t"
Yes! I’d love to see more of these type of videos that lead to a tear down! Or tearing down a full car!!! Love it!!!
I think this was a cool video, Eric. I have a 2001 Suburban 2500 with almost 352k on it, and video like this show me that you are always looking for good sellable parts for the great GMT-800 platform for those of us with old ones that we desperately want to keep on the road!
I like your "I bid on this thing, let's try to start it!" videos 🙂
Hey Eric, great video and yes, I'd love to see more of them and od course, I still enjoy your teardowns. Cheers!
I was howling at this one Eric. Just love it. Appreciate this stuff man.
Eric please please keep these videos coming. Any of your content is so awesome...I admire you...
You can't always win them all but we're so grateful for the video. Cheers and Prosperity... keep those videos coming ❤
Love ALL your content Eric, keep em coming 👍👍
Fantastic video. Great sense of humor. Love it!
Admire your honesty and hard work!!
I enjoy whatever you want to show us. Thank you.
I really enjoy these videos!
Yes more of this let's have another day at the office more often
Great Video. This was a nice change!
Keep them coming Eric, I am living vicariously through your videos.
This was a very nice change of pace from the usual content. Great channel and mixing it up keeps you engaged.
Nice to see these mishaps too. Well not nice in the normal context, but its nice to see that you also share the lesser good deals too, that's a very nice content too. Great content as always
I love to see you doing anything
Do more of these ! They're interesting as Hell, and your sense of humor is killin' me .....
More! This was good. I love the engine tear down. I love the transmission tear down. Thank you for the content.
These videos are so awesome! Fall or win!!!
Love this content! We need more of this! Thanks Eric! That opening scene with you buffing the paint was AWESOME!👍
If you can't find the key, two suggestions : On top of the left front tire. Mmmm...maybe not. On top of the driver's side visor. Mmmm... maybe not. That truck was a write off before it rolled over.
Just do your thing, this was fun and entertaining. You know many of us walk junk yards and wonder what happened to this, and that. It is part of the experience. Just do your thing. I like it all.
Every video you've made is gold. You are so entertaining. You can do no wrong!
I have a 2000 Silverado, how are the frame cross members? My hood release is a zip tie
Dammit!
Over 150 children alone could have been fed by that sun visor.
I love these types of videos. Especially when you actually get them running. Keep them coming!
Love these, keep ‘em coming!
You had me with a mouthful of coffee when you brought out the wax a buffer then my coffee was gone .
Funniest shit I have seen from you.
Love this style of video keep them coming
these are fun and informative mid week. keep posting.
Love this type of video, please do more of it!
Excellent. Reality! I love it. Thanks, Eric.
Excellent vid !!
Excellent video. Love the “day in the shop” videos…keep ‘em coming!
Love these kind of videos
Great video Eric , thanks for taking the time out of your busy day to entertain us . Your videos are awesome .
Eric and his salvage lot antics.....Priceless
love these videos just as much as the teardowns!!
Yup, give us more “a day at the office” vlogs next to the tear down videos, very pleasant, entertaining and informative. Greetings from the Netherlands, Erik.
I really like your channel. Keep up the great work! Your talk about parts and their sales value is very interesting to me.
It's good to see the follow through to see what you finally get off this truck that's useable.
Yes, more of these please. Great stuff 😋
Love these videos.
Loved the video! Yes, we would like to see more. The disassembly to remove the motor and then tear down would also be cool!
Awesome video. Keep these coming!
I like this type of content Eric ...and also the tear-down videos ...pretty much everything you have put out content wise. Thanks!
I honestly enjoy videos like this a little more than the normal tear downs. Kinda fun to see the gamble on scrap rigs like this to find out if you're in the red or not. More please!
I would happily watch more of these types of videos.
Eric, we love all your videos. More please.
That was an enjoyable look into some of the things that happen on the business side of importapart.
This is my favorite type of content, keep it up
I like these videos - the engines are okay but seeing what you bring back from an auction is great also
I would definitely like to see more content like this. It's fascinating to see and you make it all fun and enjoyable. Thanks.
Please do more of these.

I think I was really enjoying seeing more content like this. It's interesting to see the cars that they engines come out of thank you for your videos. I really enjoy them.
Keep them coming Eric.
I’m planning to start a salvage business later this year, I’ve scrapped/parted out a bunch in the past but not as an official business.
Love all the “day at the office” content!
Especially fun/funny watching you casually play “Body shop” with the loader!
I love watching these! It is so interesting to see what happens to these cars and how much or little is salvageable on them.
This is good stuff - nice to see these go through the initial scrap metal weedouts.
another fantastic vid pal from the uk! funny AF
I certainly enjoy these videos in which I am able to learn a bit about your business. I'm interested in learning about an industry that I am not involved in. As always, uou have a bit of fun with it, which makes the video more entertaining. Thank you for sharing it.
I enjoyed this video. Nice to see more about how the business works..
Love your videos, man
Love this video. Thanks!
This is great. It's nice to see other aspects
