I think you found beard lint from the two fuzzy bearded boys! 😂

[@hillwilliam]

It takes a week to wipe the smile off Chad’s face after mashing the go petal on Gonzo. Great family and content.

[@danrussell3439]

Watching Chad diagnosing the problem was fascinating. It highlights his expertise, and knowledge. And his attitude is always a blessing. Thanks for taking us on this repair.

[@DonAshcraft]

Agreed! I love the troubleshooting process and it's quite entertaining vicariously through Chad's bright mind.

[@ronaldbrown7780]

Agreed ❤

[@ronaldbrown7780]

Thx Chad's Fab

[@ronaldbrown7780]

God Bless You all and Stay Safe 🙏 Out There

[@DonAshcraft]

Chad testing the truck in the beginning, hits the throttle, and the truck accelerates magnificently, like a rocket. Then he checks all his mirrors over and over again to make sure there are no flashing lights behind him. Lol😅

[@latherookie]

Nothing beats seeing Papa Chad smile when he is on the go pedal.

[@ktmcc4360]

Great video. I like the straight Chad work, dealing with the issues calmly and professionally. None of the usual distractions. I like this format! Sometimes there is too much goofy stuff going on.

[@dennispalmer6007]

If you can’t have some fun when working at a hobby then no reason to do it. I’m pretty sure during the week when working on customer cars it is much more serious

[@wayneullman5079]

You are a wealth of knowledge. You would be working on my vehicles if I lived in the area. Unfortunately I live on Kauai 😢😊😉

[@bigblue1287]

Good morning from sunny Florida❤. I love when every single guy on the inner circle has motor problem. "We better call Chad" ❤

[@wiresmith2398]

Always a good morning when Chad shows up on my KZbin. Remember - if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate!

[@mrfunnylookinhayes9088]

Good Morning my favorite family to watch.

[@wm7683]

Son love giving dad his trailing arm 🤙

[@GP54]

THANK YOU CHAD! I'm working on a project that is using one of those pans and pickups! Engine is bolted in with oil pan for mock up and i hadn't installed the pick up yet. When watching i pulled my pick up out of the box and sure enough it built the same. definitely will be fixing that! Thank you for saving my engine!!

[@johnnykirkland611]

Good morning Chad's FAB'ulous family 👋

[@wiresmith2398]

Oh WOW. I'm not a fan of lowered classics, but Gonzo looks right and tight sitting like that! Delicious!

[@charlessnyder7401]

Love your Channel been watching for years please don't ever stop the quotes at the end of the show those little quips are priceless

[@shaneharrison4775]

True fact my friend too many times folks forget to be done with yesterday and mess up many tomorrows. Hence it's why the windshield is always bigger than the rearview. Look ahead more and leave the past in the rearview. Seek a new tomorrow.

[@jballenger9240]

True and well stated. Great metaphor! 🚘 Similarly, “Don’t let the past steal your present.”

[@catfish573]

Just wanted to say, I have been watching now for a couple of years. I enjoy watching you and the crew very much. Thank you and God bless you and the bunch.

[@robertheinkel6225]

Growing up on a farm, my dad always used Farm Bureau oil. On my Ford van, I switched to the FB oil. My oil pressure gage fluctuated all over the place. I went back to my normal brand, and no more oil pressure issues.

[@danimal0921]

Chad, I truly do appreciate and enjoy your final thoughts at the end of each of your episodes! You always have such relevant wisdom, knowledge, and encouragement in each of them! I honestly have gained so much from each one of them. It's really cool that your advice is almost always something that I need to hear. It's almost like God Himself whispers in your ear, "PSST, Hey Chad, Danimal is in desperate need of you giving this message! I want you to tell him, .........." Thank you for being so in tune with His thoughts each day!!!!! I love your content, buddy! Please keep it coming! I haven't missed a single episode since I first subscribed nearly 2 years ago!!! I enjoy every single one of them and very much look forward to a new one after watching your most recent videos!!!!! May God continue to bless and keep you safe and sound!!!!! Your favorite Danimal da'WildMan!!!

[@darrinrebagliati5365]

I've used old license plates to patch holes in the floor of several of my old vehicles. I've pounded a couple into parts trays w magnets glued to them. Of course I have some wall art models too! Never thought of using them for welding shields! Used 1 for a spreader in a gravel screener too! And more than a few for corner brackets on wooden dry boxes in my trucks. Great vid!

[@caseyrenner7024]

I use old plates to shield when spray painting to keep the overspray off something nearby, I just tape off the mounting holes and it works pretty well

[@jerryb1234]

Youngman!!, never complain about doing or giving something useful to Dad, if you have a skill or something material that can help Dad in anyway, you should ALWAYS feel honored to do/give it to Dad. ALWAYS!!,😉👍, thanks for sharing guys.

[@steveclark4291]

Thank you Chad and everybody for the update on Gonzo ! Gonzo is coming along very well !

[@trappedinkalifornee]

Just wanted to say thanks for sharing your spirit for life and your wealth of knowledge, the world needs a LOT MORE CHAD AND FAMILY! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@terrymitchell7714]

Chad, working in a shop that has built many blown fuel motors, red rags around a motor is a big NO-NO. Love your show

[@caseyrenner7024]

what rags does your shop use? microfiber?

[@savagebob911]

​@@caseyrenner7024 Lint proof shop (paper) towels are in every parts store.

[@hexinli]

Love your closing remarks for each video... And clearly your kind manner has rubbed off on your sons. Nice work, sir!!

[@tomburbridge1114]

Chad try doing what you did with oil filter inspection then squeeze a section of filter material in your clean vice jaws and smoosh the oil out of it. Makes inspection easier for one last check.

[@BruceOlschewski]

Old license plates are perfect for painting, welding, source metal, etc.! I love learning troubleshooting tips from your team!

[@cory0950]

My grandpa used to make bird houses out of licesne plates and a few pieces of scrap wood. He always seemed proud of them, so I've kept my stack of plates and plan to do the same. Great video as always! Keep up the good work!

[@Paul_Lane]

My teen son collects old license plates and we have covered two walks from ceiling to half way down with them. It’s been a fun dad son project.

[@kimberlyvaughan3430]

I haven’t heard that kind of talk in so long it made me miss the shop. If I ever get an LS , VS I’ll send it to you. Haha 😊 God Bless😊

[@KnowlesFamilyGarage]

i took your advice on the pickup tube i put in hunters dads truck. we swapped out the end from the old one to the new one. thanx a ton for the advice and the saved headache.

[@schwartzenheimer1]

This is what I subscribed for. I learned more in the first half of this video, than in weeks of grabassery with the beardo's...thank you Chad.

[@johnperun232]

Another Great Day in the Shop with Chad and Team Outstanding Content and Video Thanx for sharing your Great work Have a Great Day 👍

[@georgevindo]

That was a lot of different things you got fixed. Nice work, its great you being able to work with your sons. Thanks for the video.

[@KeithKalawa-bk4jn]

Good morning from Hawaii and my favorite OHANA building car ❤ your channel

[@davidmiller6010]

Your rear tires were getting a little loose there when you were doing that 1/4 throttle thing. Suggest you measure the bed, and get a piece of 3/8 plate made up and lay in there. That will both help stick those tires to the road, and soften the ride so it'll be easier on the lower back. And you'll never miss the space the plate takes up.

[@mrfunnylookinhayes9088]

18:00 minute mark. Chad sound like you was clogged up with sinus issues or something. Hope you feeling better young man. Praying for you.

[@chadsfab]

That would just be my morning voice after only getting about 4 hours of sleep 😂😂 Appreciate the prayers and kind thoughts!!

[@laurence1643]

I'm telling you again Chad, a 283 with a 4 barrel is all you really need . 👍😂 Sure like your diagnostic ability .

[@matttriglia5]

What a awesome morning thanks man

[@darlene4232]

Good afternoon to All have a Blessed week and Happy Fourth of July

[@chadsfab]

Happy Independence Day to you as well!!

[@kornami8678]

By the way, don't know if you know, but an AC Delco PF-932 oil filter is a 2-quart long version for a 70-80s Chevy small block V8. That's an extra quart increase.

[@stephenpoe2037]

Coming along nicely ! Thanks for sharing .

[@kornami8678]

Check if the oil filter has a longer version available that is a direct replacement. That will get you extra capacity.

[@christophersells9146]

Chad.your funny...çool and clocltive..then that big ass smile..and Mischievous Grin..after to Stabe the gas a little in the beginning of the Video...lol. 😅 keep up the good work...

[@berniegilles4110]

That waste gate would be awesome connected to an train horn!

[@TheOldaz1]

Gonzo is certainly changing from what it was. I think that's a good thing.

[@johnstancato8785]

You should plug that oil relief valve in that oil pan I just did a DOD delete and everybody says take that out and put a plug in it they sell a plug especially for that you get a lot better oil pressure when you plug it

[@PatriotPainter]

This seemed to be a little different style of video than your usual ones, and I really liked it!

[@LAP1050]

Chad, all those odds and ends will make some enjoyable videos, as always. Truck is looking great. Thanks for sharing with us.😊

[@kenmurray4232]

Great catch on the pickup tube being to long, real nice to be able to pass that on. The lint just shows that no matter how hard you try to keep it clean that something will find it's way in. Thanks for sharing.

[@k4gap]

Good morning

[@daviddill4314]

Interesting video. Very educational for your subscribers doing builds.

[@huskiesgo5944]

More oil equals cooler oil. I would have put the larger oil pan on without question. Even if it takes more work.

[@StevenNichols-u8p]

My license plates are all screwed to the ceiling. I have used a couple to secure shelves to the wall to prevent them from tipping over.

[@snakeskinproductions7500]

Looks great. Has a perfect stance. I'm more of a 64-66 guy but Gonzo is a definite player. The trick with the Tesla brakes was a great tip. going to look into using it on my OBS build I'm doing now. 94 Short bed standard cab slammed and running an LQ9 with a 5 speed...🤓

[@goodfriendg]

Paul had the same problem with one of his builds with a LS3 pan, so don’t feel bad.

[@Kristof-Kay]

seeing you quarter throttle Gonzo and seeing the power was awesome, really showed your knowledge when you diagnosed an issue. i could watch you work all day, its so eductional and your always chilled, glad you got the issue sorted, and even managed a few little upgrades in there too, awesome as always, thanks for sharing

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

I once built a complete inner fender splash shield out of old license plates and self tappers to keep the road grime out of my fresh LS swap. My son wanted me to keep it but I ultimately tore it out and put a factory piece in place lol.

[@kittty2005]

Over here in Mi. we use stickers about 1.3125 X 1.3125, my truck had 320,657 miles on it and when I got my car had to buy a new plate all the reflectorized paint was gone and I had 25 stickers on it.

[@kimetherington2252]

Chad, you're always calm, cool, and collective! I love your videos! Gonzo is going to be an envy to a lot of people! Which is their problem because they don't get off their butt to make it happen! These vehicles are out there to be found, and they can make their own version of Gonzo! Catch you on the next. ✌️ 😊

[@wadesiewert4456]

Awesome job on the suspension and new rear axle. Great catch on the oil pickup tube Chad and great fix to a problem. Was to a crap fair.... craft fair over the weekend and seen bird houses that a guy used license plates for the roof. They where pretty neat. And yes old license plates come in handy for many uses. Can patch floor pans with them or sheet metal holes. Very easy to bend into shapes you need. Keep up the great work. Love the content.

[@rockon756]

Chad from my experience with an older guy machinist engine builder told me do not use Sharpton shop Rags or any type of cloth does the cloth will clog the screen use your paper towels paper towel shop rags where the cotton from a rag won't just thought I would pass that on to your bud you have a great day and a blessed one

[@dudleybaggerman9574]

Chad ur a jack of all trade's and a Master of all 👍 and u show sometime's it just the Little thing's that could cost a person Big 👍👍

[@Kickinpony66]

I always liked the trailing arms and coils on the older Chevy trucks.

[@chiefvilla3167]

Thanks Chad. You wouldn't and you're like me. Gotta have pictures. And I also hate going into restaurants and not seeing. Not that your food is going to come out looking like that. Better at the end.🤟🏾🤙🏽🤘🏽👍🏽🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤭🙏🏽🙋🏽‍♂️😅😂

[@douglasbrooker5834]

Ive turned old license plates into parts trays. Easy to cut the corners and bend into place. Gonzo looking good😊

[@chadsfab]

Great tip!!

[@geneheck]

Chad, that was great. You looked just like a kid at Christmas!

[@jamessue8358]

Chad I 'd put a bit of Marvel Mystery oil in for a bit. Its always worked great for me. (1/2 quart should be enough to work )🙂

[@lorenzoblackie1629]

Ridetech has a nice setup for those trailing arms

[@fotoguy430]

Chad, I certainly enjoyed this video. The way Gonzo is turning out is awesome and I bet is going to be a real hoot to drive; for me, keeping my right foot under control would be the hardest part. I’m building up the courage to start my own project vehicle. It’s time to sell the 21 Camaro SS and go old school. I wrenched in high school and loved it. I think it’s time to get back to some of that. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@dougdean3134]

Nice save on the motor.

[@patrickgreen2361]

I use old plates for mounting things in doors, or for floor pans, making brackets- anything requiring thin aluminum.

[@ernestbrothers1298]

You are gaining. Long ago we used to use oversized oil filters to give a bit more capacity , long as you have underside clearance. Take care. Happy 4th

[@papatomsthoughts]

Glad you found the oil issue before blowing the engine. Great ol truck.

[@Cantsaydog]

Isn’t Chad an awesome dude calm cool and collective the smile he had when he goosed it was awesome CHAD I watch a video from a man in Salt Lake that does motors he’s awesome his name is Dave I’m not telling you what to do Chad I’m just giving you the information from him he’s an awesome guy and he rebuilds a ton of engines got an awesome shop he does not like those K&N filters According to him he said that’s the quickest way to ruin your engine other than that it was just information to throw at you to evaluate I will never tell anybody how to do things You’re an awesome mechanic Chad and awesome dude awesome family and we love you where I’m from👍✊🇺🇸

[@donanything6816]

"A little more stouter", I love your creativity. Ah, from The Great Gatsby We can also add to our vocabular, ˈstoutish adj ˈstoutly adv ˈstoutness n We learn so much from you, Chad! Thank you for more lessons.😃

[@scotthastings5794]

I've said it before but such a cool truck and it gets better with each upgrade. I like the electric brake especially on an older vehicle. I hope to see it in person someday.

[@genejones7124]

Ditto the interesting details with Chad explaining the odd possibilities of auto maintenance.

[@CorvetteBill364]

Chad I just want to watch you videos everyday. I so look forward for Mondays They are always informative and helpful I wish I had a shop like yours. But I’m getting a bit to old to hang with it like I once did. Keep working on that old Jimmy.

[@fulblod]

Had the same red lint problem on a Nostalgia A Fuel dragster engine, I quit using the red shop towels and just used blue paper towels for engine assembly. Solved the problem.

[@glennbryksaw5731]

Chad I love your smile and giggle right after the waste gate whoosh

[@BuckWheat0591]

Chads Fab is the most chilled, nice!

Here from Wisconsin

[@rockercover]

That turbo kicks! 🏆

[@Laugh1ngboy]

Best use for old plates is floor boards. Well patching small holes in them anyway.

[@edwinschlee8374]

Good on catching the lint in the pickup tube. Hope the new screen solves the former problem.

[@GunneyRat]

I also keep old license plates, I use them for wind breaks when camp cooking mostly. Great work

[@kevbev1524]

The lint was a primary filter before your actual oil filter, That was a close call, good catch.

[@chrischristenson4547]

I greatly enjoy listening to your problem solving tree. Always a joy to see a master work.

[@chipprice1174]

1. I've never thought about the lint factor, very interesting! Like the trailing arm set up, gonna look and work great!

[@craigestus7791]

watch out, chad needs some tires for that truck now

[@robertr4193]

I'm glad that it looks like you figured out what was causing your oil pressure issues and at least think you have it corrected. I hope you do anyway. The new rear end setup does look pretty sweet and should help improve the handling a bit I think.

[@leroyll1144]

I use my old plates to decorate my garage walls.Your family are entertaining,luv the vids.

[@Teshyone]

what we did and are going to do in the new house is put peg board up in the garage and display them we have at least 1 from every state and some foreign ones.

[@alanm.4298]

Best use for old license plates... patching rust holes in the floor? 😄

[@chadsfab]

Absolutely!!

[@brandonjohnson9889]

Sounds great!

[@davidlane9525]

Hay just a Lil FYI I like to use the old tags for filler plates and put them with the number side out so you can see them they look cool and they fill like a hole in the floor iv even used them on the cab corners. That's what I do with my old tags.

[@ranceveit4802]

Enjoy watching this channel very much!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🏁🏁

[@rolandtb3]

A good day. Finding and solving issues one at a time. Shallow oil pan pick-up sieve design, location, clearance was interesting and the improved diy modification. The rear coil overs and ride height looks good. New brakes and modified mufflers next. Sure is very responsive with the recent engine and turbo changes. Some fine tuning to come and performance will improve even further. With the suspension upgrades, the truck will ride and drive even more comfortably.

[@johnt6058]

we use the old tags again for a small fee you can use a tag for the year of your car
