Thank you wery much for your content, explain, your exellent work! But welding frame, for me, wan not so good. It needs to be welded from bouth sides, i understand that it was too hard, and will be a planty of work. This is a place with a much more load than we can imagine, couse of weight not only truck and car behind, but the road trash too - holes and hard hills.
Hey chris im an mot inspector over here in the uk just watched jens vid on the honda fix and was wondering what kind of inspections you guys have over there in the good ole US of A?
I'll second that. For a young guy, he has an amazing amount of mechanical and electrical knowledge of vehicles. His interactions with Jen and Gus, is a joy to see. He is a good man and l wish him all the best for the future.
Keep the wrecker videos coming, I like to see you breath new life into her. Brings back memories when my dad had a towing service, Stan's Service out of Detroit. Thanks
My name is Don I'm from Chicago I love your videos you getting that tow truck right very nice job on that weld and frame have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
I've been watching your video for a month. I wish I was your student because I am also very fond of machines and cars. I don't get bored the way you're not bored. What amazes me the most is that you don't seek help from anyone other than Jane. You take care of everything alone.
My dad was a heavy equipment mechanic and he had me learn how to fix things by letting me try and figure problems out on my own. When I just couldn’t figure it out he would show me how to fix it. I am not a mechanic by any means but I love to work on different projects here and there and this channel has reignited my interest. Thanks for the great videos man!
I could watch you work for hours straight! Loving your content, the passion you put in what you do and the way you're able to share it with your spectators. Definetly the best channel if you're into this type of stuff! Greetings from Italy!
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow that oil filter mount you need is like 12 bucks brand new I would get a original gm part if possible I had and engine hurt when one of the after market filter mounts cracked on me I only use the GM performance parts ones now with no issues
The wrecker has been one of my favorite rescues. A workhorse that needed some serious help. Great progress and really interesting to see the repair priorities change as the project comes along. Also, no one ever forgets the vehicle they learn to drive stick on, cheers to Jen. Thanks for another well done, informative video...top notch content.
Yep. Mine was a '71 Volkswagon Westphalia camper van my grandparents bought new. Had to double clutch early and often. . .lol. It was early 90's when I was learning with it.
You Tubing many years Chris....YOUR channel is the only one I ever considered joining and DID !! You remind me of my 'mixed martial mechanicking' of my old days. Keep it up and more importantly, keep it real !! Real people look forward to it buddy.
Can't thank you enough for that aqua pig! I try to keep things real and really do enjoy fixing this old junk. Hopefully more awesome stuff to come. Thanks so much for tuning in and being part of the channel
Always up for some more wrecker repair video, I laughed my ass off when you were playing with the dog in the house swinging him back and forth with the blanket, I used to do the same thing with my dog and he loved it! Very cool memories 😎
Chris I’m a retired certified welder with 40 years experience in all metals and I don’t see anything wrong with your repairs , putting the scab stiffener plates with strengthen just fine brother and I’m here to enjoy your videos! Nothing criticize your methods of fabrication or repairs, the video critics need to take it easy on you buddy! lol 😂 Only thing I’ve learned welding one big rig broken frames years ago I welded everything with 7018 stick rods! Looks great brother, thanks for sharing my friend! Always sending prayers for you,Jen and Gus! Stay safe, warm and healthy y’all!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻🤙🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Kirk from Lake Charles Louisiana! Oh prayers for Turbo too!🙏🏻
Brother and I are huge fans we can sit and watch hours of you, usually upsetting our mom, anyways we’re all the way from Texas close to Mexico, going up to New Jersey for school in January! Where do I apply for apprenticeship!?!? Lol
You have so much energy Chris and great skills. Wish I had a tool kit like yours 😁. Love that you brought the wrecker back to life. Cheers. Geoff. England
You're a guy like me who has learned how to do more with less. I salute you sir You"re the type of guy like me who has learned to do more with less. I salute you Sir!
From burns to cuts, broken bones and pulled muscles, the generations coming up have no clue what hard work is all about. Thanks for showing how to get it done.
As a mechanic of 40 years enjoy your channel. Great skills and attitude of getting the job done.Good to see some people still out there that can fix things in a society of throw away and buy again.
Always like watching your videos. You work hard and smart. That will carry you far. Lots of talent. Skills. Signed a old retired carpenter superintendent. In. Sc.
Man I hope we get membership to the point where you can move and have at least a 2 car garage ! Working outside is extra challenging so hats off to you for what you do. I see a lot of my past in the things you do, in regards to doing whatever it takes to keep shit running...LOL TIMBO !
I first found your video on the CAT 977, Loved every second of it then I hit your channel and found everything else. Amazing stuff man, you and my dad have a lot in common, he is a Mercedes and BMW mechanic with his own shop. He has many toys just like you, many cars, two boats, two motorcycles, snowmobiles, and a side by side just like yours. Please keep doing what your doing man, its great. Dad is not a computer guy but I plan to share your videos with him next time I visit.
You need to add Diesel Creek to your list of must watch channels. Matt is the bomb. Also FarmCraft101, that guy is like you, he does a lot of metal work as well as wood work but a lot of mechanical work as well. I can't get enough of you guy's.
I know I'd like to see more with this rig. It's great watching you tackle problems you run into and you're ability to capture how you work through them is awesome. Maybe this rig will turn into an income generator for you. It looks like Turbo really loves Gus at the end, that's sweet. Thanks for another great one!
Hallo Chris. i most say. you are the best✊. i really enjoy watching your videos, Merry Christmas to You-Jen-Gusmann🤗.Turbo, and the chickens😊, Love from Denmark⛄
Reference your almost under your breath comment from Jenn’s home repair video (lol) - I never thought about what it’s like for you in your specific situation regarding all these vehicles... you are not a restoration guy so no slow roll. Not a turn and burn like a flipper channel. Not purchasing personal vehicles with unlimited budget. Not a numbers matching historical guy nor a resto mod guy... I could hear your tongue in cheek saying not to buy junk otherwise you will be stuck on every little thing. But it’s your channel brother! And it’s awesome and hopefully paying good bills! Who knows, if not for the wrecker Jenn would have missed publishing great video and you would have been elbow deep in sewer pipe part 2.
Great job and it is interesting to watch you work. Others who do these type of video are boring. They tend to talk to much about unrelated things, and or show too much of the laborious stuff in real time. Thanks
Thanks Richard and I appreciate the feedback as well. I try to keep things fast paced for the most part. I know what you're saying about keeping too much in. I figure if I myself have a hard time watching it while I'm editing it then I need to speed it up. Of course I have a pretty short attention span so it comes naturally
Absolutely love your video's Chris... you make it "real". You provide great inspiration to those of us who don't mind getting dirty and love to learn..hands on. Keep up the great work.
There’s so much potential to make money with that old beast. NoNonsense Towing and Repair…3rd channel for towing recoveries… As hard as you work the sky is the limit.
I just watched Finnegan's Garage and I seen him unbox a KnowNonsenseKnowHow coffee mug! I have been a follower of both channels for some time and I really love both!!!! Keep putting out videos because y'all make my life a little more enjoyable!!!!
Chris Your video content is top shelf. You are so knowledgeable, calm, cool, and collected (at least i far as what's edited) 😆. Seriously, though, keep the videos coming and the awesome work. Hi Gus 👋!
Im new to this guys channel,This guy is a beast rain or shine cold or Hot he is working on something.Nothing holding this cat back........................................................................Fort Worth,Tx
I truly believe that this truck needed you as much as you needed it....I hope she puts some work in for you .....after you saved her life.....wood blocks wrapped in yoga mat are your best friend with a sling..them things tend to go hard on vehicles
seen so many channels got new buildings and garages lately...you are a better mechanic~or at least,as good~as those guys..nice assortment of tools..and skills...i suspect youll be in a sweet garage soon
More 88 Square body wrecker stuff! That is awesome Man Chris thats an awesome rig you have there fella! I am wishing you and Jen and Gus and Turbo a very merry christmas! Keep up the awesome work!
That frame repair and shifter fix were incredible! You my friend are fearless! Those formed box pieces might be holders for the stinger spoons when they're not in use?
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow I too just wanted to say: and I don't comment on channels much, but I just have to tell you how much I'm enjoying all the hard work you're putting into your content! I truly enjoy watching your thought processes, it helps me a lot with my old junk! I've learned so much! I also deeply appreciate your attention to our interest in your content format. It's been extra work for you I'm sure but it's been great and appreciated! I love getting exactly what I want to see with more available if I choose to at some time down the road. But this has been awesome! I'm still only subscribed to your channel but that may change, your wife is a very talented person and musician, and I'm always glad to see families including their WHOLE family working together as as you can tell by my thumbnail: LOVE the pup shots which you keep to a very fun, reasonable distraction. Sorry for rambling, but I just wanted you to know I see the hard work and appreciate it. Loving the whole format of this and the last couple video more than I can say. I think you've really found a niche here on YT over the other guys just trying to find gimmicks to just make $$$ (nothing wrong with making $$$, I just hate to see the pure pursuit of it consume people's content). I really feel like you have great knowledge to offer, and deeply appreciate it. Thanks.
I came across you years back. An honest guy and gets the job done, I first thought. As time passed and you showed all we see it became clear that you've got that bit extra in your drive and energy. The going gets tough and you just step it up a bit. Until you win. To me this tow truck is a most fascinating and unknown sphere to view. Im interested all right but i dont have any criticism of how you're managing it. Example , the chasis repair. Looks a bit hmmm!? But we know from watching that the joint is tougher than most parts of any chassis. Thanks for being the guy that shares your adventures. Or ventures. Outstanding variety in the run of the same mill. Iykwim?!
Request- When you move to a shop, can you do a video on the move, like a full in depth video. I have a feeling there is so much packed into that little shop that it will be jaw dropping to see it all start coming out.
Chris i gotta hand it to ya….not only are you a badass mechanic…your’e an awesome welder too….big up’s on that fix bro…wished you and Jen lived down here in New Zealand i’d be steering a lot of well paid work your way…Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year for you both and Gus & Turbo
Love watching you work. I think you should order some custom NNKH mudflaps for the wrecker. That'd be awesome. Keep up the good work. Have a Merry Christmas!
I'll have to show my father in law those brackets you found, he's been running wreckers and ramptrucks for years. They didn't look familiar but he would know.
First video I've ever seen of you was the Gran Torino vlog, since then I'm hooked lol, could watch for hours. Love the channel, love your work and passion for what you do, Jenn and Gus make the perfect complement for the variety of the channel, it's a balance of "mechanic educational stuff", vlogging, and just a guy having fun living his best life. Even learned a few tricks myself just from watching your videos and listening to your tips and advice. I really wish you the best man, Merry Christmas and greetings from Argentina
I look forward to a episode where you start talking about building yourself a garage! Always look forward to your new content you definitely deserve the garage of your dreams
I dont know anything about tow trucks or even want to know about them, BUT your video's are so informative and entertaining I find myself watching all your videos. I wanna thank you for going I to detail to teach while you show us what your doing. I think now I wanna go buy a cheap welder and just practice welding things now. Lol As I scroll through UA-cam, whenever I see you posted something new, I grab something to eat and drink and get comfortable to enjoy another video
Cant thank you enough for checking out all the videos man. And awesome to hear that you find them informative. Definitely grab a welder! Good move for sure
Absolutely love your videos, not being a mechanic myself your explanations are spot on and makes it easy to follow along.. keep up the great work! Pet Gus for us! Hope y’all have a Merry Christmas!
Nice job fixing the tow truck cracked frame.For what it’s worth and just an observation,i noticed there were heavy rubber mounts missing between the frame and mounting brackets.May not make a difference but probably put less stress on your welds.You bolstered them up pretty well that they’ll last.Just thought I’d mention i saw them missing.Looking forward to watching next video.Thanks and Happy Holidays!!!
Pretty nice repair Chris, obviously somebody just threw that crap together and probably did more damage trying to fix it. Like to wish you and Jen a very merry Christmas and a far better New Year. Many blessings guys!

First video I've ever seen of you was the Gran Torino vlog, since then I'm hooked lol, could watch for hours. Love the channel, love your work and passion for what you do, Jenn and Gus make the perfect complement for the variety of the channel, it's a balance of "mechanic educational stuff", vlogging, and just a guy having fun living his best life. Even learned a few tricks myself just from watching your videos and listening to your tips and advice. I really wish you the best man, Merry Christmas and greetings from Argentina
I look forward to a episode where you start talking about building yourself a garage! Always look forward to your new content you definitely deserve the garage of your dreams
It would be interesting to see a frame diagram of the C30 Wrecker in your video. This truck has a lot of utility!
Awesome work. You are super resourceful Chris and use what you can find.
It’s the kind of fab I like.
I'm a squarebody junkie so keep the vids coming 🙂
yes i want more please and thank you!!! oh and the small dog zoomies are always a plus!!!
Great work ! Satisfying and educational at the same time 👍
Thanks swagman
Chris, Keep up the good work. Always interesting and informative.
Love watching your work and vehicles , the others out there ? - like watching 14 year olds .... thanks !!! 🙂
I dont know anything about tow trucks or even want to know about them, BUT your video's are so informative and entertaining I find myself watching all your videos. I wanna thank you for going I to detail to teach while you show us what your doing. I think now I wanna go buy a cheap welder and just practice welding things now. Lol As I scroll through UA-cam, whenever I see you posted something new, I grab something to eat and drink and get comfortable to enjoy another video
Cant thank you enough for checking out all the videos man. And awesome to hear that you find them informative. Definitely grab a welder! Good move for sure
Very cool to see your problem solving skills. I learned a lot watching this.
Keep them coming brother! Enjoy very much 👍👍
I was thinking I'd use a copper pipe as a sleeve to take up the slop and then you did. Good job, that should last a while!
Definitely would like to see more videos on the cool wrecker!
Absolutely love your videos, not being a mechanic myself your explanations are spot on and makes it easy to follow along.. keep up the great work! Pet Gus for us! Hope y’all have a Merry Christmas!
Nice job fixing the tow truck cracked frame.For what it’s worth and just an observation,i noticed there were heavy rubber mounts missing between the frame and mounting brackets.May not make a difference but probably put less stress on your welds.You bolstered them up pretty well that they’ll last.Just thought I’d mention i saw them missing.Looking forward to watching next video.Thanks and Happy Holidays!!!
Keep fixing up the wrecker! Can always use it on side jobs to bring in income. Good investment!
Good video Chris
Would like too see some off roading videos and maybe some camping in the mountains , keep them coming buddy .
Love the content!!!! Keep posting!!!
Pretty nice repair Chris, obviously somebody just threw that crap together and probably did more damage trying to fix it. Like to wish you and Jen a very merry Christmas and a far better New Year. Many blessings guys!
Great video, and Thank You !! for including Gus. I love the little guy.
I bought an old wrecker back in 83 first week had to replace clutch , yes good memories repairing yes part 7 lol 👍
The bushings in the wheel lifts are a common wear item. You should be able to get kits to completely re-bush the lift and make it good as new.
