    What I appreciate is the genuine job, no fancy stuff, no overdue production, no scripted scenes, just pure honest ability and hard job. Thanks. Nice to see you sold the car. 👍

    Mike, the success and the people sending supplies comes from YOU being a down to earth guy. It’s authentic and it shows! Peace

      @B0xlife1 2 роки тому +6

      Absolutely so well said, people donate or send things to people they know are REAL and GENUINE! That’s what you are, even when your split from another youtuber,you never once talked him down,called him out his name or resort to name calling,AND you even admitted to what you said which could have affected you legally but still you took the time to let us know the truth straight from your mouth unfiltered and uncut! Plus you had ample opportunity to do what I mentioned above or spin the story to make him look like the big bad guy and you as the little angel victim! But you didn’t and we wouldn’t have known what was truthful or not but still you kept it honest 100%
      That’s WHY we enjoy your videos so much and never hesitate to send something you need when you never even as for it, genuineism (or whatever you wanna call it) is dying and everyone seems so fake nowadays. Too see a honest hard working married family man who’s real down to the core is a breath of fresh air nowadays!
      So just keep being you and you’ll be at 1 million subs in no time my friend.
      Ps I still watch all the ads and never skip just so you can get every cent possible because you deserve it. I’m in a very tough spot and struggling badly right now just trying to get by so I’m unable to send any gifts but I know I do my part with the ads.

    One of the things that comes across from your videos Mike is the fact that you enjoy yourself fixing the vehicles and passing them on to the poorer members of your community. As I was watching the video I thought this guy should be in a teaching position, your easygoing demeanour installs confidence in us to have a go, and that’s another reason why you get so much fan mail, and on that thanks to all you guys for helping Mikes channel 👍🏻

    You’re humble and kind…it’s hard to dislike (thumbs down) that kind of character. While others are bragging about their lifestyle, you just keep grinding it out. Your content is relatable…I would guess that most of your subscriber base has had to fix their own car before…some because they wanted to do themselves, but many that had to because of life’s circumstances.
    I think you did the right thing on your recent flip. You’re paying it forward and money is a byproduct of the service you provide to your clients. Your customers will make up the additional profit you could’ve made in referrals to their friends and others they find searching for a reliable vehicle.

I do follow quite a few different channels on UA-cam but you are definitely my favourite… it’s just who you are…nobody does fan mail like you …you can tell you genuinely appreciate everything you get! I have told and shared your videos with non UA-camrs …if I can give anything it’s probably subscribers. Everyone gives in different ways and really cannot think of anyone that deserves it more. I do watch your daughters channel and share it with others also …the apple doesn’t fall to far from the tree …chances are she thinks the same as you …to me not enough people in the world these days think about others as you do …we need more people thinking like this. I think everyone that follows you think similar it’s the reason they follow you. Keep up the great content !!! Alberta,Canada

    Another awesome video WB. I was looking at the part number on that part you removed from transmission. That part number show's that it's a Transmission Control Module for the 6T70 transmission. I bet you have already found out this information. I did read that a replacement part does require it being programed to the vehicle's computer. That really sucks. For what a replacement part costs. It might be worth a gamble to get one from a lower mileage car at the salvage yard. Good luck with which route you take with the car. You are making awesome videos. I look forward to watching the videos when they come out. I did work for one of the auto part chain stores for 15 years. I'm not going to say which one here on UA-cam. Experience is the one thing auto part stores are lacking these days. All they what is a warm body that knows how to use a computer. I remember having customers coming in the store and would only want to deal with me because of the knowledge and experience that I have with helping to try to fix there vehicle problems. Using multi resources to help gather information to help the customer. I enjoy trying to help people with vehicle problems by doing research for information if I'm not able to see the vehicle right away. Thanks again for the awesome video. I hope you had a awesome Thanksgiving.
