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.
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
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.
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.
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 😞
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.
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 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!!❤
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 ❤
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.
That truck was hauling but, hit a solid object down low and went end over on to the roof. Judging by the lack of blood, the passenger either bailed or was ejected
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 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!
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.
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'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.
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.
Love this video Eric! It would be great to actually see you dismantle this beast, and salvage the useable parts! Take us through the whole journey, and show us how it pans out financially when all is said and done. Would love to see that!
My dad used to buy a bunch of trucks like these in the STL area, but since moved over to easy-to-fix stuff because they need less manhours. Its fascinating to see what parts you can sell off vehicles like this.
Love this channel. Not only are you living my dream, you're great on camera and seem to have fun sharing what you think is interesting which obviously, the rest of us find interesting also.
This is really interesting to me as a layman who is interested in machines. I do feel really emotionally invested in you successes and failures who I watch but don't mean to be weird about it. Thank you for all the interesting videos.
I drove up and down your street for 6 years delivering to a food warehouse just north of you and saw your shop many times. Nice surprise to find you on YT. Good luck sir.
Love your videos Eric! And love the variety - Keep it up! But please, please don’t risk yourself by getting under an unsecured suspended load like that.
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.
+1 for the variety- and if you can swing it, a time- lapse of parting something like this from this point to loading the parts on the shelves would be fun!
You keep doing you Eric, Though I will probably never be a customer, I do appreicate the effort you put in to test and proof out the stuff you sell. It's interesting to see other stuff as well when all a guy works on is various flavors of Super Duty
These videos are good. Had I thought about it, this is an industry that I would have liked to work in. Every new car brought in is a mystery to be solved and turned into a win. That is pretty cool.
i like this type of content. not as much of the normal vid's you upload but one of these a week or every other week would be a breath of fresh air. but over all the stuff you make is great. also remember to stay hydrated.
Dang, that looks like it went off a bridge! Made me wonder how cool it'd be to see you do more videos on this and what you can salvage and make from it eventually. From my untrained eye i'd just presume everything of value was wrecked and essentially welded together. Followed this channel for a good year now but this gave me a new level of appreciation for salvage yard workers. If you can pull more than you paid ($800) from it, that's neigh on a miracle!
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.
I like this video Eric! Thank you for sharing all of your content. I spend most of my time following your new videos.... your amazing! Thank you for making the internet interesting and informative! Big Hug from the Great White North buddy! THANKS London Ontario Canada
Pretty interesting video! Always good to get a peek behind the curtain at the different ways that exist to provide value, make money, and in your case help keep other vehicles on the road. I enjoy content like this.
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.
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
I actually like content that resembles more of a normal person at work in their business.
Much better than "reaction content"!
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.
'We'll cross that bridge when it falls down' - love it!
Love seeing this sort of thing too.
These “just another day at work” videos are my favorites. Please continue!

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...
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

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.
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.
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
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
Yes Eric! More of these types of videos please.
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!!
These “Will it Run” videos are my absolute favorites! Great stuff.
I'm always down for more "just another day at the office". Came for the engine teardowns, stayed for the "everything else".

You need to open a comedy club, and be a headliner there. You missed your calling. Oh sorry you ruined the headliner. Love it
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'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.
I think you have an overwhelming response Eric. Yes, we want more of these videos!
Eric, I enjoy these ‘day in the life’ videos. It’s good to see the effort you put into every aspect of your business!
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!
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

What a shame to see such a rust free 800 series wrecked like that.
Do more of these ! They're interesting as Hell, and your sense of humor is killin' me .....
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 ❤
I love these types of videos. Especially when you actually get them running. Keep them coming!
I was howling at this one Eric. Just love it. Appreciate this stuff man.
Hey Eric, great video and yes, I'd love to see more of them and od course, I still enjoy your teardowns. Cheers!
Looked like you may have burnt through the clear in a small spot, might as well junk it now.
This was a very nice change of pace from the usual content. Great channel and mixing it up keeps you engaged.
Admire your honesty and hard work!!
Every video you've made is gold. You are so entertaining. You can do no wrong!
I like your "I bid on this thing, let's try to start it!" videos 🙂
Keep them coming Eric, I am living vicariously through your videos.
Love ALL your content Eric, keep em coming 👍👍

Love this content! We need more of this! Thanks Eric! That opening scene with you buffing the paint was AWESOME!👍
I enjoy whatever you want to show us. Thank you.
Fantastic video. Great sense of humor. Love it!
That truck was hauling but, hit a solid object down low and went end over on to the roof. Judging by the lack of blood, the passenger either bailed or was ejected

Yes more of this let's have another day at the office more often
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.
I love to see you doing anything
Thanks!

Yes! Not sure how you count labor which can’t be ignored, but I hope/suspect this isn’t quite as bad as you think.
I have a 2000 Silverado, how are the frame cross members? My hood release is a zip tie
Loved the video! Yes, we would like to see more. The disassembly to remove the motor and then tear down would also be cool!
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.
I enjoy watching other facets of your salvage business.
Dammit!
Over 150 children alone could have been fed by that sun visor.
My dad used to buy a bunch of trucks like these in the STL area, but since moved over to easy-to-fix stuff because they need less manhours. Its fascinating to see what parts you can sell off vehicles like this.
I’d like to see more videos like this Eric. The process of dismantling vehicles and to salvage the goods from it.
I like these videos - the engines are okay but seeing what you bring back from an auction is great also
Love this channel. Not only are you living my dream, you're great on camera and seem to have fun sharing what you think is interesting which obviously, the rest of us find interesting also.
Love all the “day at the office” content!

Eric and his salvage lot antics.....Priceless
I would happily watch more of these types of videos.

I like these day at the office videos, its cool to see that other people make auction induced vehicular purchasing mistakes and its not just me
I'm really liking these auction car videos more than the teardowns latetly, nice change of pace.
Love your videos Eric! And love the variety - Keep it up! But please, please don’t risk yourself by getting under an unsecured suspended load like that.
Yes Eric let's see more of this as well as engine tear downs also there may be entertainment value to spin up the turbos with compressed air
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.
Excellent. Reality! I love it. Thanks, Eric.
