You deserve a trophy for being the first person I've seen on UA-cam to get a fire extinguisher out before you start working with a chance of spark or fire. Nice job! For everyone please else make sure you have a "charged" extinguisher handy.
Bad things happen, you learn. lol I just have more experience (good and bad) than most. lol I already have my trophy, a burned headliner. Had I not had an extinguisher close by, I would have an entire car.
People hating on your videos with the thumbs down shows me that they’re a lot of people with too much time on their hands. These videos are great. Keep em coming.
terminal connector crimp tip. After you crimp the wire in the metal part of the connector ,move the crimp pliers away from the metal part and give the insulation part a squeeze enough to grab the insulation on the wire. This will help prevent the wire from separating from the metal part of the connector over time. Similar to using a clip to hold the cable to the solinoid. Unless you use heat shrinkable connectors
Great videos as always. The guy in the accident was lucky the impact was not lower down on the chassis legs as the car could have crumpled around him. It's great the public have mechanics like you who put safety first and foremost in their repair work. Good job👍
If I had any hair, it would've stood on end when you were setting tools on top of the battery. 😱 That can result in a nasty surprise. 😂 Good rebuild job so far. Looking forward to more. 👍
Hell yeah, I just learned me that I can use my big ass bolt cutters as a big ass crimping tool, they didn’t taught me that in skool. Thank you brother!!!!
Nice work as always. For that front lid rattle, you can cut some old small rubber hose and push them on the bottom part, so that the lid when shut hits the rubber and doesnt rattle even as little as you got it to rattle. I hate rattling also. :)
I love how y'all keep the videos simple and informative. I just got my rebuilt GMC back on the road. There's only 2 companies that will insure it because some teens died in an accident in one. I pay like 800 bucks every 6 months just for liability. 😠
Thanks, if you had never touched a welder, were blind and had had your hands tied behind your back you could do better. lol They didn't set the bar too high!
Was going to suggest putting some weather strip around the top of that battery box to keep the weather out, and keeping the rattle noise down. I have a 20 foot PJ car trailer that has a similar pump and control system. Pretty nicely built trailers!
While the PJ is nicely built, this one is lacking in many areas. If I would have paid what these things sell for, I would have been a little upset! For my uses it will be perfect but in my opinion and experience, you cannot beat a PJ!
Dulp.. well hey hydraulic system bleed out..new fluid is always a good thing. Good work. Glad my family member wasnt in that cobalt. Thanks for sharing Rich!
I actually bought it off eBay, it was used and by used it was not off the Snap-On truck. It had never been plugged in. I paid $1100 and a 2.5 hour drive to get it. Well worth it!
Hey harbor freight tools aren't that bad. People will always find something to complain about. If that's the only thing they complain about...ehh no big deal. I'd rather have the tools I need than a payment plan with the candy truck. Great work by the way. Love the project!!
Ahhhhh, you have slaked my Friday!!!! Just goes to show everyone, that if you know what you getting into, you just might find a silver cloud. Keep up the great videos.
All trailers show rust quick. They are not primed, just painted with single stage gloss black that's paper thin from the factory. Price point you know.
Top notch repairs or should I say rebuild! P.S. reusing something is not being cheap or in your words broke, why not repurpose something for free...and those locks are very popular, where I worked we had numerous ambulances come and go over the years and every inside cabinet lock had the same keys, I’m talking between 1988 and 2003....
Thanks, I have no problem making jokes about myself. It gives people a laugh at my expense and doesn't bother me. It is why I don't get bothered by the haters. Those locks are very popular, I have had similar experiences with matching locks so I thought I would give it a try. Thanks for watching.
The Harbor Freight Tools Do What You Need Them To, That s All That Matters! My First Tool set was a 40pc 1/4 & 3/8 Drive combo set that came from an Auto Parts Store (Strauss) and My Deep Sockets Came from a Grocery Store. They Did Their Job. Have Gradually Upgraded Past Few Years..
@@vehcor Exactly! Sometimes You have to Run Out to get a Tool in a pinch. I Have a Cheap Set with My Mistake, a Better Set in My Truck, and a Few Pieces of The Big 3. I Try To Get MADE IN USA as much as possible. Anxiously Awaiting Next Video 😎..
Murica🇺🇸👍I've owned and abused a trailer just like that one. Great trailer... Did not ever let me down. I'm sure I overloaded it a few times. I do a lot of water damage demo. Best upgrade I ever got for it was the wireless controller.
I also recommend the wireless remote. Can't beat it for the price/convenience. Also, double-check that the rear doors are hooked securely before you lift the bed or you will need more than the texas pride door alignment tool.
The quality is not as good as some of the other dump trailers I have seen but for what I need it for and what I paid, it will work out perfect. I have a wireless remote for my winch on my other trailer and it is super useful. Maybe a future upgrade!
Excellent video. One thing I would l would like to point out there is no ground on those controller. The red is power to the switches, black is power to the motor solenoid, yellow or blue is power to the up/down solenoids. Good tips on the wire clamp and air removal. They probably loosened that hydro line to drop the body after the accident. Good job on the adjustments. Lol for the Snap On welder. Can't wait until next week.
I didn't really check, I just put them back where they went or I thought they went. I do like to be accurate in my statement so after reading your comment I decided to check in case I had to correct myself. The test light as well as the negative sign on the solenoid seem to agree that it is in fact a ground. lol I was thinking they may have loosened it and to lower it would be the only reason I could think of. I can't see it being wrecked in the up position. Someone had to loosen it, they could not have been using it like that.
Unless when it was hit it jolted the body up slightly or shifted the load causing the body to unseat from the frame. could also be non-damage just to get a new trailer. You are correct on the solenoid also. I checked my cousins dump trailer and learned something new. Most of the hydro pump motor solenoids are power to operate just like a snow plow. learned that one the hard way. kind of.
I did, it worried me that a seal was blown out. Someone had to loosen it, possibly to lower the dump if it was up for some reason and the pump was not operational. There is no way they were using it like that and I cannot see how it would have been from the accident. Still a pleasant surprise to not have to spend money for what at first looks to be a big problem.
watchin youtube i see lots of peeps puttin bondo on frames makes me sick to think what else they just cover over. or seats that they just sew back together
Don't forget the massive heating of structural components..............but those are the experts! You can tell because they all have a lot of subs! lol
Structural Body Filler...??...Yes i bought a truck one time and the cab corners and one entire rocker panel was made from structural body filler....Good Stuff! (doesn't rust/flaky texture accents)lol
They have a wireless remote system at Tractor Supply that’s normally used for winches that would work in this situation. I feel it would be much more convenient to utilize the wireless system so can dump while pulling forward. Would work great for building roads and driveways.
Excuse me sir. Wuts with all the "Texas" sayings. I'm from Texas. Lol, I'm playing. Ur good. Didn't get to comment on last week's video cuz I was upset. Here I was thinking WOOHOOO another GTG8 rebuild. But, nooooo... My wife loooooves those cars. I do to. Tell ur daughter to have to fear. Every town, city, county, state across America. An OSHA book bursts into flames every day. Have urself a nice lil trl sir. Keep up the good wrk and tell ur helper not to worry. Or urself.
I love Texas and hope to end up down there sooner rather than later. I just came back from Houston yesterday, not my favorite city in the state but still waaaaaaaaaaaaay better than IL. The G8 was a parts car to save my GXP. It just happened to make a nice curtain to pull back on the new build. She doesn't care what the experts say and neither do I but that won't stop me from mocking them. lol Thanks for watching.
Haha awesome work you do but you put the pins for safety chains on backwards.. cotter pin goes to outside of clevis to prevent chain from opening/breaking and dropping pin out
I was sidetracked by something shiny (Cobalt accident). That is my story and I am sticking to it! lol I had them 1/2 right. I fixed the other one after reading your comment. Thanks for keeping me honest!
What blows my mind is you point out the poor quality work, yet an Inspector signs it off so quickly. Blows my mind. I bet you knew as soon as you walked up it was rebuilt.
I knew it was repaired previously but it still could have had a clear title. I see a lot of scary stuff on clear title cars as well. It was just a hunch that it was a rebuilt and of course the sticker is in the last door I check. lol
Some people just do crappy rebuilds. Quality is hard to come by these days. I had a guy try and sell a rebuilt car to my wife he didn’t even have inspected. He wanted us to do it. Personally I don’t let anyone work on anything of mine unless I absolutely have to. Even then I’m super critical of the work, which is why I do it myself. The few times I hired someone in my life for things they always reconfirm my stance on don’t hire people. You do good work though
It is hard to find people that care more about the work than the money these days. I know what you mean, it hurts to watch people do something I could be doing if I had the tools or the time at the time I needed them. Thanks for the support!
Too many 're-builders' just do the basics to get it out the door, but you went all over that trailer to fix everything, the chains, the safety cable, the bent door, the locking bar, even the loose line under it! (even the battery hold down, the 'loose' lid & the lock) Way to set yourself above the rest!
When Texas Pride's Prideful prices are to much Ya gotta do what ya gotta do! I ended up with one of those low quality rebuild weld jobs. The core support basically collapsed into the engine. Fun times.
Rebuilds are about saving money, sometimes you have to find alternatives to make it work. I have seen a few of these low quality weld jobs. I have had to fix them on a few of my rebuilds before I could sell them as well. Sometimes when I was working on a different part of the car. lol
I'm not against nothing you do I love it your like me anything that works to get the job done dont matter what name is on it or where it came from keep up the good work I have what they call the gorilla weld ugly but it holds
I have to admit. I'm jelly. I really would like to have a good (but cheap) dump trailer. I only need it once a year but it would be awesome. My wife would not approve.
I will probably only use this one once a month since it can hold about 4 times the scrap of my pick up but it will save my back when I don't have to unload it by hand. My girlfriend never approves of the things I buy....... doesn't stop me. lol
cannot say I have ever heard anyone say Snap-On makes a good welder before, so I guess we can say your record is still good for buying crappy tools. (Which I do and never worry about because being poor is more than a state of mind)
I will say it. This is a great welder. The shop one is the same and has had no issues in 25 years of abusive service and little to no care for its longevity.
I knew it was repaired....badly and it was just a hunch that it might have been a rebuilt car. Honestly the odds of me finding that sticker were pretty slim. Only 8 years and newer go for that sticker, it had to be done in a state that stickers them, someone had to not tamper with it. Enjoy your new Ram!
Those whom post criticism about a brand of tool you happen to have used presumably don't realize that an adequate tool in the hands of a craftsman or craftswoman is far better than a premium brand tool in the hands of someone incompetent, ignorant or lazy! The skilled person can invariably complete the job even without having every tool they'd prefer!
OMG!! I Was Gonna Suggest a Piece of Heavy Equipment for a Challenge.. Can't Wait to see The Cobalt; how many times 1 car can be Rebuilt.. Talk about a Cat having 9 Lives..
Well, there you go, I found one! lol I don't think the Cobalt is worth fixing again. I guess I will have to go crash one of the others I have fixed. BRB.........................
Yes, they are douches. They got paid for the trailer and all the parts. It could have been the tow yard it was at too. Who knows? Since it only cost $25 to replace it new, a used one is not worth the time to steal.
Makes you wonder if they got the controller and was working on getting the ram, it seemed loose or excessive play on the bottom eye and twisting when you checked for the leak.. Is that a cotter pin flexing on the bottom mount? 4:23
The pins are worn on the ram, they will be replaced soon. This thing was a construction trailer and those guys are not known for taking care of things. lol
@@keving2371 You would be correct but it is every bit as good. I got this one for a steal. "Used" on eBay for $1100 and a 2.5 hour drive. It was never actually used.
You deserve a trophy for being the first person I've seen on UA-cam to get a fire extinguisher out before you start working with a chance of spark or fire. Nice job!

People hating on your videos with the thumbs down shows me that they’re a lot of people with too much time on their hands. These videos are great. Keep em coming.
I tend to attract the haters when I call them out. They come back just to dislike my videos like it hurts me in some way. lol Thanks for your support!
As soon as I heard the tires screeching on the car accident I was thinking the same thing there’s the next rebuild video!! LOL!
I wish it had been something worth rebuilding. lol At least it was something that provided a little lesson in rebuilt car quality.
“Now it’s time for some door adjustment using our Texas Pride door alignment tool”. Lmao! Love your sense of humor! 🤣🤣. Great video as always!
It's out there it's called repair tape its sold in most hardware stores
Use as required. lol Thanks for watching!
well there is a lot of truth to that, thats all it takes, tin cans
Love the humor as always. Poor Chevy. Luckily they didn’t get hurt too badly.
Thanks, it was only a Cobalt, no tragic loss. lol They were fine, probably just a little bummed about the loss of transportation.

This will help prevent the wire from separating from the metal part of the connector over time. Similar to using a clip to hold the cable to the solinoid. Unless you use heat shrinkable connectors
I usually use heat shrink connectors but they are not really necessary since the other end of the connector is wide open to the elements anyway.
Nothing wrong with Harbor frieght. Love your videos
The "experts" disagree. lol Thanks for watching.
Great videos as always. The guy in the accident was lucky the impact was not lower down on the chassis legs as the car could have crumpled around him. It's great the public have mechanics like you who put safety first and foremost in their repair work. Good job👍
Thanks, the accident was the best thing to happen to that car. lol It needed to be off the road!
I love your dry sense of humor. I’ll bet you can piss your wife off with it.
Thanks, I have been known to piss off some people with my humor. lol
Shoot! Will next Friday ever get here???
Thanks for the education on the cobalt too! Like I say, never a dull moment.
Your wait is almost over. Thanks for watching.
That trailer is looking good.
Interesting forensics on the Cobalt; once the body panels and plastics are back on, don't know what you're getting.
Thanks, this one was bad enough that you might have been able to tell even after it was together. lol
If I had any hair, it would've stood on end when you were setting tools on top of the battery. 😱 That can result in a nasty surprise. 😂
Good rebuild job so far. Looking forward to more. 👍
It keeps you on your toes. It is like a big boy version of the game "Operation". Thanks for watching!
Structural body filler is an interesting concept.... I wonder if someone could invent structural reinforcing duct tape 😜
Structural duct tape comes in the kit with the body filler. 😂
Hell yeah, I just learned me that I can use my big ass bolt cutters as a big ass crimping tool, they didn’t taught me that in skool. Thank you brother!!!!

Thanks, try StateFarm or Nationwide. Both have never given me any trouble insuring or paying out on anything I rebuild.
$130 for 2 buttons and 2-3 meters of 4-wire cable? There's definitely gold or silver in it :D
Maybe platinum! 😂
Glad to see a genuine person like u!
Some good work there....I haven't touched a welder since the early 80's but I think I might have done a better job than was done on the colbolt
Thanks, if you had never touched a welder, were blind and had had your hands tied behind your back you could do better. lol They didn't set the bar too high!

Thanks, thanks for watching!
Don’t you just love it when work comes to your own front yard🤗
I do, it happens a lot. lol
"All my welds are worth twice as much as everyone else's." I laughed. But did you get it from Snap on or rescue it like most of what you rebuild? :D
I actually bought it off eBay, it was used and by used it was not off the Snap-On truck. It had never been plugged in. I paid $1100 and a 2.5 hour drive to get it. Well worth it!

I like to mock the people that find something to complain about. It makes them work for something else to complain about. lol Thanks for watching!
Got to love the easy leaks fixes.
I like any repair that requires no expense other than a few minutes of time. lol
Ahhhhh, you have slaked my Friday!!!! Just goes to show everyone, that if you know what you getting into, you just might find a silver cloud. Keep up the great videos.
Experience helps as well as keeping a positive attitude. Thanks for the support!

I had quite a few more opportunities but I could not resist that one!

Ha I was just about to comment that.
Love your videos my man. I always learn something and I really appreciate your sense of humor. Thank you and keep up the good work.
On the top of the tool box you can buy a rubber seal that fits over the edge of the sides to seal up the tool box better.
It doesn't need to be weather tight.
I really enjoy watching your videos. Watching your newest videos is great way to end the work week, Thanks for sharing
Thanks and thanks for watching!
It's amazing how much rust can show up on a 2 year-old trailer in the midwest. No rust = a California benefit.
All trailers show rust quick. They are not primed, just painted with single stage gloss black that's paper thin from the factory. Price point you know.
This one was actually from KS but all trailers that get used rust. It doesn't help up here with salt either so they look worse much faster!
You changing the lock reminds me of every single RV outside locks are all the same on every RV the difference is the deadbolt on the entry door
Yep, there are only a few key codes for those types of locks. It keeps the honest people honest. A true thief will get in no matter what you do.

The Cobalt was actually at the shop I rent. lol That is how I had access to it. I did take the wood out, the pile is no longer infected.
Yes the $nap-on welder makes up for the horrible freight sockets you were using lol.
I can use the welder to weld them back together when they break. lol

When Texas Pride's Prideful prices are to much Ya gotta do what ya gotta do! I ended up with one of those low quality rebuild weld jobs. The core support basically collapsed into the engine. Fun times.
Rebuilds are about saving money, sometimes you have to find alternatives to make it work. I have seen a few of these low quality weld jobs. I have had to fix them on a few of my rebuilds before I could sell them as well. Sometimes when I was working on a different part of the car. lol
Great video enjoyed watching keep up the great work
Thanks, will do!
I'm not against nothing you do I love it your like me anything that works to get the job done dont matter what name is on it or where it came from keep up the good work I have what they call the gorilla weld ugly but it holds
I have to admit. I'm jelly. I really would like to have a good (but cheap) dump trailer. I only need it once a year but it would be awesome. My wife would not approve.
I will probably only use this one once a month since it can hold about 4 times the scrap of my pick up but it will save my back when I don't have to unload it by hand. My girlfriend never approves of the things I buy....... doesn't stop me. lol
cannot say I have ever heard anyone say Snap-On makes a good welder before, so I guess we can say your record is still good for buying crappy tools. (Which I do and never worry about because being poor is more than a state of mind)
I will say it. This is a great welder. The shop one is the same and has had no issues in 25 years of abusive service and little to no care for its longevity.
Sounds like the trailer needs a good greasing
It got a much needed greasing!
Awesome as always!!
Thanks!
You can tell that cars hood has been a workbench for a long time haha!
Work bench, storage shelf, it has lots of uses. lol
ever notice the fire truck always seems to be the fastest to get somewhere?
They are right down the street. lol
Looking good. Should be every useful when complete.
Thanks, it will save my back from unloading the piles!
Are you actually considering rebuilding that Cobalt? How'd you acquire it after they wrecked it?
If I buy it, it will only be to throw it in the pile. lol It was towed into the yard at the shop I rent.
Nothing wrong with harbor freight tools. Great video
I agree but the "experts" think you can only work with the most expensive tools! Thanks for watching!
That's how the tow company or auction company released the pressure of the dump bed after the accident
I figured that but I cannot imagine they were driving around with it up when it was hit.
How did you know the cobalt was a rebuilt car? Trailer is looking good :)
I bought a ram 😁
I knew it was repaired....badly and it was just a hunch that it might have been a rebuilt car. Honestly the odds of me finding that sticker were pretty slim. Only 8 years and newer go for that sticker, it had to be done in a state that stickers them, someone had to not tamper with it. Enjoy your new Ram!
@@vehcor oh ok, I thought it was mystical car rebuilder powers lol
I might make a video of the ram and put it on UA-cam 😁
Those whom post criticism about a brand of tool you happen to have used presumably don't realize that an adequate tool in the hands of a craftsman or craftswoman is far better than a premium brand tool in the hands of someone incompetent, ignorant or lazy!
The skilled person can invariably complete the job even without having every tool they'd prefer!
I completely agree with your statement!
Nice job on the punch-list. 👍
Thanks!
Lmao he really bought the cobalt. What a legend
I did not yet, it is at the shop I rent. I could buy it and throw it in the pile! We'll see...........................
I enjoy ( in the pile) . How many piles are there????? Thanks for sharing your story.
Just one, it keeps getting bigger until it joins the big pile in the scrap yard! Thanks for watching.
How much does a welder like that go for? Hope you post part 3 sooooooon
They sell for around $3000. I got this one new out of the box off eBay for $1100 and a 2.5 hour drive. Well worth the deal!
OMG!! I Was Gonna Suggest a Piece of Heavy Equipment for a Challenge.. Can't Wait to see The Cobalt; how many times 1 car can be Rebuilt.. Talk about a Cat having 9 Lives..
Well, there you go, I found one! lol I don't think the Cobalt is worth fixing again. I guess I will have to go crash one of the others I have fixed. BRB.........................
@@vehcor Lolololol 😂😂
Nice man!! Can’t wait for more!
Thanks, tomorrow you will have more!
Love this whole channel keep it up!!!
Thanks, will do!
Those keys are probably CH751, same as used on every RV.
Add a wireless controller. Love mine. Cost $15
Where did you get it of $15? That is a good deal. I have not seen them that cheap anywhere.

Here is a link to a video where he links to the unit I bought
Good work Sir
Thanks!
for 140 bucks you can understand why they kept the control
Yes, they are douches. They got paid for the trailer and all the parts. It could have been the tow yard it was at too. Who knows? Since it only cost $25 to replace it new, a used one is not worth the time to steal.
Makes you wonder if they got the controller and was working on getting the ram, it seemed loose or excessive play on the bottom eye and twisting when you checked for the leak.. Is that a cotter pin flexing on the bottom mount? 4:23
The pins are worn on the ram, they will be replaced soon. This thing was a construction trailer and those guys are not known for taking care of things. lol
Was the Snap On welder a bonus found in one of the rebuilds?
I look forward to seeing that G8 get fixed
Sorry, you will be disappointed. :(
I heard you say you were broke, did that happen after buying the snap-on welder.
Only 374636329623912639 more $25 weekly payments and it is all mine. lol
@@keving2371 You would be correct but it is every bit as good. I got this one for a steal. "Used" on eBay for $1100 and a 2.5 hour drive. It was never actually used.
great video as always
Thanks!
Well done man.Dewalt grinder there....
Thanks, I do like Dewalt tools. I am a Milwaukee convert. lol
@@vehcor yeah those are supposed to be real good
