Amen! He gets so much crap from other excavation channels for the equipment he buys, repairs and uses. What they don't take into account is the fact that while they're complaining that they hit a rock while digging in sand and clay, all Andrew DOES is dig in ROCK and he does it just as well! If it ain't broke, don't fix it but, if it IS broke, fix it to make it functional and get the job done! I think we can ALL take a page out of his book and learn to do things for ourselves!

Andrew you are killing me! As a former mechanic I see how a vast majority of the stuff you do could be prevented by doing some "preventative maintenance". If it rattles tighten it up, if it squeaks put some Luby Doobie on it. You do great work on repairing old equipment and making emergency repairs. But like when those pins were giving you trouble, lube them up so they will slide back into place easier. I know you can't use grease on everything because of dust and grit but some silicone spray would help. Next time you change an alternator remove the air box, only takes a couple mins. and you have a lot more room to work with.

Andrew, 2 tips when working on the dodge: 1. If you need to work on anything that side of the engine, remove the airbox (1 nut, a hose clamp, and the IAT sensor connector is all you need to remove and takes about 30 sec total) This will give you enough room to wiggle the alternator (mine was very tight fit too). 2. If you take a S hook and bend one side 90 deg. you can use it and an extra ratchet to hold the belt tensioner by cliping the ratchet to the lower passenger fan schroud support)

Once again you do what everyone else talks about. Some years ago I decided to treat myself with a new battery charger since the old ones cables were all messed up and had already been fixed and shortened too often. A name brand, for us Germans THE brand, a Bosch charger found it's way to my shop. Ever since I carry a small motorcycle battery and some jumper cables around with it, so I can trick it into starting to charge with the small battery attached and taking it off once it's going. Otherwise it would recognize an empty 12V battery as a good 6V battery and do nothing. My charger is so smart now, it enslaved me with my backup battery tied to my neck with jumper cables.

I'd stop bothering to make the plastic orange markers work. They'll keep breaking. Instead, get yourself a thick spring (like on CB radios) and weld a base that fits inside the marker holder and on the other side put fiber glass tent rods (they're hollow inside). Paint them orange to match an you're done. The spring will allow flex, and the fiber glass rod is extremely tough.

Keep up the good work Andrew!

[@helgedell]

Haha, another classic! You should have a road show, showing some of your alternative ways of fixing things. :) The smart charger didn't Die that Hard btw.

[@ShogunMura]

[@mperucki]

Awesome videos keep them coming

[@NicoSmets]

Yes, off course that is how you fix a bumper!

Awesome content! Been a subscriber for years and a Western New Yorker, so I commonly have the same problems. When sourcing parts, do you go straight to the internet or do you like to find a dealer/ parts place first? Or both and reference each other to see the cost/shipping/ and convenience fee? Don't stop what you're doing! 👊

[@AndrewCamarata]

What parts? The alternator I got local from NAPA, parking brake part came from Dodge dealer, I order stuff on eBay all the time too.

[@GeeRepp]

@@AndrewCamarata sorry, I should have been more specific... just parts in general. Obviously its going to depend on the part, but you deal with alot of parts from many different types of equipment so generally I assume you source from the internet and go from there. Didn't mean to make the question sound difficult

Andrew gets better every time i see one of his videos, thanks Lewis

I really do respect your grind, a lot of other channels would have made a 4 part series of installing them new lights, you literally took a few seconds of video :P
