ALL the lines started blowing out, gas line repair, brake line band aid repairs, power steering lines blew out one after another, the whole steering system rusted so bad it all just needed replaced. Torn seat, then a crack developed in the trans housing that marked my spot and went though a quart a month..and last...rusted rear wheel wells limiting the possible value ever of the truck. repairs to be safe would cost more than the truck would EVER be worth.

He brought me deep into their shop and showed me my exact car purchased a month earlier than mine with 301,000 miles on it. It belonged to a traveling salesman who didn't fly. He said the car drives like new. I told him that sounded far fetched. He pulled it out and told me to take it out for 15 minutes. (with the owner's permission) I'll be danged if it wasn't just as tight feeling and quiet as mine that had less than 50K on it. Toyota makes amazing stuff.

doing this for living so here are some quick tips 1. block sand putty with coarse grit 2. fine sand with orbial sander finer grit 3. prime using high build 2k primer 4.block primer 5. scuff(remove the shine of the clearcoat) the whole panel or part of it (if there are body lines and you want to polish the blend later on) 6. degreese 7. paint and clear 2 coats should be sufficient 8.,enjoy ur work

[@Danmemer89]

i really love how honest and humble you are, always stating that youre not a professional and that if you can do it i can too! thank you so much for what you do! keep on trucking!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks, will do!

[@Gavin.Smooth]

You’ve nailed the art of direct information with no distraction. I vote no change.

[@briangammon6155]

You’re amazing you did $10 k worth the repairs on your suburban in 27 min. At regular shop rates most people would have scraped it. Love your videos don’t change a single thing. Canadian fan

[@TheBacontarian]

Probably more than 10k, suspension parts, shops are unwilling to press out the rubber bits, so they force you all new parts. I gave up that same model Suburban 14 yrs ago the maintenance just wasn't worth it

[@jamesleesley]

When you have so much to cover in your videos, it makes sense that you have to be quick.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks!

[@foonme99]

The fast pace is one of the best features of your productions. We can see how thorough you are without watching your tests in real time. Thank you for this valuable public service!

[@meatpockets]

I love these repair videos, keep up the awesome work. My dad passed away about 5 years ago and this helps fill in the void being alongside him doing home/auto repairs. Have a High Life for dad! 🍻

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for sharing.. Thanks for supporting the channel! I really appreciate it!

[@sanctealphonse4510]

My condolences to you! I lost my dad two years ago...he was a wealth of practical knowledge and is sorely missed. He was a jack of all trades and master of none as he would often say. Let your dads know you love them and appreciate them folks!

[@sniperlif3]

Its crazy that you don't accept sponsorships. You are a real youtuber that wants to keep good content without a potential issue.

[@shane8915]

Corporate sponsorship and advertising are what has ruined the internet. Are you old enough to remember the internet before corporate america got their grubby hands on it? Project farm knows that sponsorships would destroy his channel. Just like it has destroyed the internet.

[@jbsthegamer]

He has a very good point in not accepting those

[@capoman1]

It wouldn't bother me if he took free products, I trust he wouldn't change.

[@shileitian2083]

Thanks! Please DO NOT slow down. The information density is the most precious thing in the Internet nowadays.

[@brianw338]

I did pretty much everything that you just did about 4 years ago to my ’95 Z71. What a difference it makes. Only difference is it took me about 1.5 weeks to accomplish what you did in 25 minutes 😂. My truck has 238k miles. Bought it new. Love your calling. And that is one good looking suburban.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks and you are welcome!

[@jamesphilip6737]

2001 Silverado about to hit 300k. This video inspires me to keep the old horse.

[@nmatthew7469]

GM actually made good stuff back then.

[@ProjectFarm]

Glad to hear!

[@GodSaveTheUnitedStates]

I literally just said the same thing. I have a 2001 GMC Yukon with 320,000 miles. I've owned it since 150,000 and I've neglected it because it needs a fuel pump, but it got me through some hard times (divorce) and great times (meeting the woman who is now my wife). It deserves to be shown the love that it showed me all those years. I'll be ordering the parts this week!

[@larrykittell726]

What a concept, replacing parts that aren't completely worn out. No wonder you've gotten over 300,000 miles out of that Suburban. Keep up the good work.

[@jimm1819]

Good one Larry

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks!

[@IKnewMickey]

THE most efficiently delivered information on the planet. Never change my friend.

[@TofuCheeze]

I've been watching your videos for years. I think the one aspect that keeps me coming back is you move at the speed of a military training video. Fast as possible, while covering every important point. You do great work man!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks so much!

[@ethankangful]

No one can watch a 25 min video these days. Including me. But wow I watched this and it didn’t feel like 25 minutes. I think it’s due to your action packed content that kept changing quickly and your video editing. Kept me engaged to the video.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks!

[@nofotomojo]

@ethankangful, I couldn't have said it better.

[@izzakzamora]

One of the only content creators I don’t have to put on 2X speed, & no filler, just pure form content with justified editing!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank for the feedback.

[@DansDrives]

Literally the ONLY channel I actively pay for (Patreon) and the ONLY channel I do not speed up! Just keep being you. "Don't fix what isn't broken!"

[@DailySnuggles]

@24:44 this was perfect, I use to watch your videos in 2x speed but i didn't even notice it was 1x and I stayed engaged the whole video

[@mattadams7922]

Please do not change a thing, most people can keep up and understand. Its nice that i dont need to 1.25x or 1.5x your stuff. This is one of the best channels on youtube. I watch every video. I dont even have an interest or use for what you're reviewing sometimes, but I'm still gonna watch, be entertained, and educated. This is a wonderful channel and i hope you're making a very good living off doing it. You deserve every good thing that you have and that comes your way. You provide a service that makes the world a better place.

[@mannys9130]

The fast pace is amazing for my ADHD and your exquisite scientific process is critical for dependable results. Never change anything about how you make videos. I'm begging you!!! 😫

[@Pit-Boss1977]

My wife actually walked in the kitchen while I was making some supper and watching your video and she said he talks fast. I said it's because he's trying to get a lot of information and efficiently as possible. I love the pace. Don't change a thing.

[@MilmidStudios]

This is amazing! I just bought a 2003 f250 5.4L 2 valve with 375k km. Motor is solid! There is a lot of play in the steering so I will have to look at getting the front end done. This was great to watch. 🙏🏽

[@ellieraan272]

Don't ever slow down! I love your videos for how informative you are, but also your fast pace and cheerful voice. It's all part of your charm!

[@au2diax802]

No need for change. This channel is keeping me awake while watching. this would be a 6 hour video on many other channels, but here it is right to the bone 25 min. No waste of internet here.

[@mediocreman2]

Thanks for showing everyone that old can be gold. My Audi has 308k miles and never left me stranded. Regular fluid changes on all of the 3 differentials, the transmission, and of course the engine oil, and brake fluid have been a huge help and never had to replace anything major. Just belts, a couple pulleys, brakes, and fluids and it's happy.

[@bobbylee3953]

Your pace is perfect. I know I can't do everything you do, even if I had the tools so I'm not looking at it as instructional videos. But your channel is one of the very few that provides insight/knowledge. I salute you!

[@Brandon_Nelson92]

I have more respect for this youtube channel than any other at this point. You've stayed true to yourself and your viewers this whole time without selling out. You haven't let popularity and success corrupt you. Your pace is engaging and fine for the majority of your audience. Please don't change. Ignore the haters. They do not represent the majority.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@rickietatum4319]

I don't see how people can get bored whilst watching your videos.theyre so informative and unbiased as well as interesting. a must watch channel for me and your other fans here in the UK.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks!

[@Dahkeus3]

I love seeing an old car fixed instead of dumped. Great way to protect the environment, reduce waste, and save some cash. Win all around. Keep the great videos coming!

[@AmishCowboy4]

I love the way you do your videos at high-speed like that. It gives us a lot of information without using a lot of our time and we can always rewind if we need to. And thank you very much for doing all these videos for us

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks and you are welcome!

[@grega8334]

Your editing skills are off the charts. This is the only channel where I don't put it at x2 speed because it would be way too fast.

[@sorryociffer]

My 06 Chevy suburban has the 8.1L V8, is a southern COMPLETELY rust free truck with 392k on it. Runs GREAT. Woolwax/fluid film and preventative maintenance will make this a 1M mile truck.

[@ProjectFarm]

Wow, that is great!

[@ljbrandt500]

What is woolwax??

[@sorryociffer]

@@ljbrandt500 a lanolin based, non toxic undercoat that you apply yearly. It is self healing, and oozes into all the books and crannies. It is similar to fluid film but thicker. Both can be had in their natural color or in black. There are shops that apply it but you can buy DIY kits as well. MANY KZbin videos on both. HIGHLY recommend.

[@chuckp_again_and_again]

@@ljbrandt500 A type of undercoating

[@capts6269]

Right behind ya with 285k on my '02 2500 w/8.1l . Bought it new in '02, window sticker '$38,000' w/leather, all options. New trucks, $90k??? Not worth it, I'm keeping my 8.1L 'workhorse'

[@ZagiBob]

My 2003 Toyota Highlander is my daily driver. It has 409,xxx miles with no major repairs EVER and is VERY reliable, has never let me down. I’ll replace it when it dies.

Don't replace it, rebuild it instead. I'll take your '03 over a '23 all day!!

[@gogogomes7025]

I'll never open my mouth to complain about a mechanic's price ever again in my life! This was awesome to watch!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks!

[@doug7547]

I have 210k on my 2003 Suburban. The wife keeps asking for a new vehicle, no way. This is one of the most reliable/cheap to fix, comfortable spacious vehicles still in existence. Yeah, MPGs are a bit of a struggle and I WISH it had at least a six speed for towing, but it does it all well enough. Super proud of you and your channel, I've been subscribed since you had 13k subscribers, amazing work pays off.

[@christeschke9844]

2024 suburban has not changed much. mostly sheet metal and touch screens

[@NONO-hz4vo]

That is the one huge downside to the older vehicles. Most of them get terrible MPG's. I still have a 2005 diesel Excursion for my 6 kids but it is cheaper to take two modern cars. Mostly just use it for camping and family vacations where we all want to be together.

[@MLenninger]

Make your own biodiesel from used vegetable oil for about $2.50/ gallon. Who cares about mpg when fuel is so cheap.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks so much! Thanks for sharing.
