Josue MVP today 😀

[@Matty.Hill_87]

Its awesome seeing him get more comfortable on camera, he started off really shy but we're seeing more and more of his personality now

[@DAPerform]

This truck has so much potential to be the ultimate sleeper/shop truck. By far my favorite build just because of how pure and non complicated it is

[@DakotaB90]

Same here

I love this build

Josue for the win this episode. Vacuumed the leaves, and got you to diagnose further and find the simple fix. Awesome episode. Can't wait to see this thing looking good.

[@circleofdrift]

Nate’s ls turbo car on pump E always gives us the weebie jeebies when we drain it cuz the catch can will be full of condensation water, and the oil seems also milky from the E and were like “uhhhh is that right?” Every time lol So we 100% understand Taylor questioning himself for a second. Good catch Josue!

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

I was one of many that were bummed to see the turbo ls truck get shelved for a while. Truck has so much potential. Keep after it Taylor!

[@AZ-Patriot]

If you have a hole saw that has a single base with multiple cutters that lock into it, just put the one in that fits the current hole along with the one you need to enlarge it to. The bit assembly will center on the previous hole as the narrower diameter ones are longer.

[@noobster965]

I think we all did

[@balljointfd3s]

Owning a 94 RX7 I went through this. Motor was losing coolant and had to add a Quart of Water every two days. Tried everything and figured it was the Rotor Housing O-Rings leaking (basically a blown head gasket for a Rotary). Had the motor rebuilt, they didn't find anything but the motor had a bunch of miles on it. After reassembling everything with the newly rebuilt motor I had the same problem. Turns out it was a Clamp on the lower Radiator hose that at higher temperature/pressure would leak Coolant into the lower pan that covers the whole bottom of the engine bay. After you parked the car the pressure and heat went away and so did the leak. I only found it after deciding to change the Oil when most of the motor was still hot and saw the leak. That leak cost me $4,500 because I just couldn't ever find it and all I needed was a new Clamp and a new Lower Radiator Hose. Live and learn I guess.

[@charlieheath4345]

This truck is by far my favorite vehicle on the channel. We're going to be really sad to see it go because I think that you could really turn it into something unique and awesome.

[@DakotaB90]

[@DaleBladez]

I can’t wait to see some big fat radials on the back of the street truck. I’ve always like the idea of the exhaust out the back also. Especially since you want quite lol. Good stuff great content keep it up. One of my favorite creators to watch.

[@Tac_3403]

This is my favorite vehicle on the channel. As much as I love the vette and miata, this is such a sick little truck. I really hope you continue to build on this. HD front clip, roll pan, paint, wheels and low!

[@jordanwhipple9089]

Hey Taylor! Love the builds quick tip for welding nuts onto things give it two or so tacks with the bolt in thread the bolt out weld it out and if the bolt doesn’t thread in chase the threads with a tap and you should be ready to rock and roll. Hope this helps for future builds!

[@tirespark]

drag content would be dope as hell coming from you

@@yamondakawazuki8941 And I feel that drifting is for people that can't hit the corners at the right speed and just like to spend money on tires for no reason. I guess both of us will just have to deal with it. These are Taylor's toys and HE gets to decide how he plays with them. ; )

@@yamondakawazuki8941 ik from the outside it seems straight forward but theres alot that goes into perfecting a drag setup, and id like to see how Taylor goes about learning a new type of motorsport

[@Leviberry13]

this is great!!! no lie, i was watching the old videos on this thing a couple days back

[@jesseellington342]

Just did a winch for my track car in order to load without stress and love it so far. Got a 2500 lb small unit at harbor freight and it loads the car perfectly fine, no stress. Rolling load is far less than 2500 lbs. Shortened the cable from 50’ to maybe 27’ which also helps a lot on the pull and amount of cable in the drum. All in about $100.

[@leefhead1]

As a tip for the future, you can use a hole saw that matches the hole that you have as your pilot for your bigger hole saw. You stack them together. Great work as usual guys. keep it up.

[@dante_lsx]

Super excited to see you and the vette on a high speed road course and really see what y'all can do, this is going to be wicked!

[@derekharmon8699]

I sorta forgot about this problem solving and I have a pressure tester too, great vid thanks for the reminder

[@jeffrey2170]

What I like to do when it comes to welding nuts and trying to run a bolt through, is weld the nut with the bolt installed pull it out while still hot, then let it cool down and run a tap through the nut (brute force it to thread nicely). Obviously not the best idea for structural items because of the possibility of inconsistent thread engagement around the bolt but who cares for non structural items. Love the content keep it up!!

[@carsonwashburn1]

I always appreciate the explanations you give for your diagnosis. I have learned so much from watching your channel long before you even started your Fummins.

[@CoolBlue87GT]

I added a dual camera setup on my Suburban, one camera is above the hitch receiver on the truck, great for backing up to the trailer, the other camera is on the rear of the trailer, above the rear door. I have a switch to select either camera. It's great while driving, for those that love to tailgate trailers. Makes changing lanes safer for anyone creeping into your blind spots. I have a socket/plug for power and a coax socket/plug for the video signal located above the hitch. Good luck with your camera setup.

Holesaw trick i learned some time ago (can't garantee it works with all holesaw kits): if u need to widen a hole u can put the holesaw for the hole u have and the hole u need onto the pilot/guide drill (smaller one inside and in front of the bigger one) and then use the smaller holesaw as a guide/center

[@jd2181]

I would solid plate the top of catch can and add a little breather filter to the side of it. Your windshield drains straight to that point. Water running straight in

[@calleandersson4256]

A tip I saw regarding the hole saw. If you already have a hole, you take that size of hole saw and put it inside the size you want. Works on European versions anyway 👌

[@danielbeer9201]

Little tip I saw. Take the old hole saw and replace the little drill bit in the new hole saw with it. It will center itself then.

[@aaronb7990]

YO!!! I recently saw this trick where you thread the hole saw bit of the size you want on, but then you also thread 'another' hole saw bit that is the size of the current hole on along with the new size one. It gives you the old hole size as your pilot, bulecause the 'pilot' is a hole saw bit instead of the small pilot bit. My mind was blown since I had done it the hard way so many times!!! I couldn't believe I never thought of it.

[@rileypoole6790]

Love the turbo ls truck!

[@terryscott621]

[@Smokey72013]

The heat shrinks the nuts threads. Once you are done welding run a tap thru the nut. Usually you can heat the stuff up again to get it moving if it locks up on you.

[@josephsanders8921]

On your seized nut issue. It's not weld per say seizing it , it can also warp from the heat and seize. Stainless is the worst. I always tack with the bolt in (if needed) but take it out when I weld it, let it cool, then check with your bolt, tap if needed. At least then you don't have to worry about getting your bolt stuck.

[@robwigglezz944]

Depending on your type of hole saw, sometimes you can thread a smaller one inside a larger one to act as your pilot.

[@alhalex8501]

I think he understands this but just maybe needs the hole offset from just the center of the original hole on some of the ones close to the edge so it doesn’t work.

[@treystone1993]

That truck is a beautiful beast. Great job, keep it going 👍🏻. Any thoughts on a drift truck build??🤔

[@parkerbethke]

I’m sure you have a plan to do suspension already but a ridetech full coilover kit would be crazy, you can’t get more handling and lower in a package

[@williamdouglas1996]

8:49 check the bottom of the water pump there is a weep hole if you put drip pan under the water pump if in the morning it’s the water pump. There are seals inside that while running work perfectly under pressure but once everything cools down and shrinks it can run right out of that weep hole until it drops to that level.
