Completing the rebuild of the last failed rebuild on a 2016 GMC Terrain Denali

Your workmanship is incredible.

[@vehcor]

Thank you!

[@Cjnchef]

I am mr Spotty new manager. We are filing a grievance for forcing him to work upside down with no protection, airbags safety lines or even hearing protection.

Forcing him!!! I was trying to get him to act normal! We’ll see you in court! 😂

[@robertsmith987]

You do know air bags are old ladies in a plane ✈️ right ?

[@telemachusepiphany9668]

An added bit of humor would be having Mr. Spotty go through some Mr. Bill experiences. You can do this !!

[@billymasoner3735]

LOL, your oil change rant was EPIC.

[@vehcor]

There will still be people blaming their cars for their neglect!

[@DilanGilluly]

Yep, I agreed with it. GM says to trust their OCI lights, but every one I had the carbon sensor goes bad and sometimes it will tell you that you need to give it an oil change 500 miles into the previous one (and, yes, I do reset them properly), and sometimes it won't tell you that you need it at all. So I just stuck to my regular, changing the oil at around the 5,000 mile mark and called it good. Part of the reason why I like how Subaru's handle maintenance. You just program how far out you want the intervals to be and it keeps track of the mileage and/or months.

[@darrinwilson633]

I can not help but to notice how the sound of the panels snapping together is therapeutic.

[@vehcor]

Replaying those portions after editing makes the hassle of those edits worth it. lol

[@Mishn0]

It makes me think that these things were made to be put together, not taken apart. It's way less therapeutic to disassemble them while avoiding breaking them.

[@trbstang]

Agreed! The repetitive sounds are like music of a sorts. Scott does a great job and so does Robert Dunn on his Aging Wheels channel with his musical drilling, grinding and welding!

[@ferrumignis]

The sound of plastic tabs snapping off during disassembly is a little less relaxing...

[@tjhanlonjr]

I love watching this man he is not afraid to draw tears of the easily offended. Gotta love it.

[@groosbro1]

Love "Boring Build Fridays". I get tired of "You won't believe what we are rebuilding today!"

[@vehcor]

You won’t believe how boring this build is! 😂

[@DennisDuboisLifeview]

I love it when you call it a bumper when if you so much as lean on it in the cold it breaks. I'm old enough to remember when bumpers were heavy, chrome and didn't break if you looked at them.

[@vehcor]

I'm that old too and I am glad those are gone. These are so much easier to handle. lol

[@billymasoner3735]

The car looks amazing. I think what you do to bring these vehicles back to life and giving someone an affordable vehicle that will last someone a good long time because you go through the extra effort to rustproof them and make them better than they were originally is amazing.

[@chiluco2000]

I was very impressed with that tire-wheel mounting technique!

[@vehcor]

It takes a little practice but saves a lot of time when you learn it! 😂

[@kimnoragay8639]

I would buy a car that you repaired any day. Meticulous work, fun to watch. Good memories of when my daughters were new drivers.

[@ThePlayerToBeNamedLater]

This gentleman repairs the vehicles into better quality than manufacturers selling them as new. The JD Power award for fixing shitty OEM build quality goes to this guy. After all that would be the only JD Power award that's actually of any value.

[@ve3nsv]

Amen to the oil changes brother! I change mine every 5000kms or 6 months whether it needs it or not.

[@vehcor]

They people that don't change their oil are the same ones blaming the car for blowing up. lol

[@richardcline1337]

Same here. And I only use full synthetic, never blended. Engine seems to a very happy camper.

[@jimwiskus8862]

Always amazed at the professional approach of properly repairing a vehicle like this. See you in the next installment.

[@farmerfb]

This running monologue you give us, it's not scripted, that's just you, there is no way you have enough time to write that much tongue in cheek material . Love listening to it.

[@hackfabrication139]

Friday!!! Mr. Spotty gets back into the automobile rebuilds after narrowly escaping death in the trailer rebuild. And he goes inverted at 03:58! Then you toss him at the end! Brutal! Great work Scott! Oh, Oh, Oh... That Terrain Template is SAWEEEEEET!!!!

[@vehcor]

And then suffers a big tumble through the window! 😂

[@donw3912]

I've watched alot of your builds and the many parts...your work never ceases to amaze me. I cant help but wonder if some of the folks who buy them see the videos and see just what was screwed up and how you fixed it. Your humor is priceless..dont ever change as this world so needs a ton of humor in huge daily doses. That oil that came out of it looked black as coal...and that cabin filter....YUCK!! Somebody had pets that have been there before... Thanks for the great work on the cars and the effort you put into the editing Scott...it show up beautifully every time:-)

[@oifivguy]

This has been very educational, as it has provided us with a good snapshot as to just how dishonest some of these so-called Mechanics/Body shop Technicians can be. I for one learned valuable insight, thanks.

[@99andrianmonk]

Nice job, Scott. The finished product looks beautiful. Someone will definitely be a proud owner of the Terrain.

[@vehcor]

I hope so!

[@Sashazur]

It’s still a Terrain - but at least it’s the best rebuilt one you can get!

[@beluxauto5968]

That statement about relying on others instead of thinking logical yourself hit the nail straight on the head . And believe you me , those will have a very difficult life .

[@timkaldahl]

I just realized what Mr. Spotty's problem is. He just doesn't have the "stick-to-itiveness" required for success at a high level.

[@vehcor]

I think all the fame just went to his head. 😂

[@gundocC2]

Scott, you would think by now I would have learned not to drink a beer while watching your videos! You owe me a half roll of paper towels! You didn’t say which tool you used when you installed the spoiler, shame, shame! My brother had one experience with jiffy lube, he had them do a full fluid change on his Ford pickup, yes I know, I hate to admit that I’m related, two strikes, a Ford and jiffy lube. They replaced all the fluids except for the rear differential, they left it dry. It cost them thousands of dollars to settle with him after the rear end locked up at 70 mph. So, no more jiffy lube. Btw, the freight liner I drive with a Detroit DD15 has recommended oil change intervals of 50,000 miles. We change at half of that. Another great video. Dan.

[@GhettoWagon]

I was rushing and I forgot to put the oil plug back in a Toyota once. Filled it with oil. Went back into the hole i drained the old oil into, Started it... Looked down, Oh shit drain plug. Thing ran for like 2 mins with no oil. No engine noise at all! Amazing. Plug in. Refilled it. Woops! I should try to 2 inch ratchet strap the exhaust pipe straight on the truck Good idea I might try it

[@ojscustoms9251]

That was pretty impressive how you mounted that tire fast enough to trap the air to auto inflate. That right there shows the true professional in you. Only a few can do that!

It’s all in the wrist! 😂

Someone recommended your channel to us. Just subscribed. Great edits and cuts.

[@BrucePierson]

I've never heard of changing oil at 20,000 miles. Our cars have recommended oil changes at either 3,000 miles or 5,000 miles. Now that you've repaired the damage and repaired the previous "repairs" the Terrain is once again fit to be used. Whoever buys it will be very happy with it and all the maintenance is done. All the best from Queensland Australia.

[@MrBeard-ig5zc]

I helped a friend of mine with some DIY body work. Thanks to your videos i was full speed ahead. All confidence. Not to your caliber but big big improvement with no parts.

[@brianroberts9984]

Been on a VEHCOR binge past several days. Love the videos; lots on helpful info... Even for a Ford guy like me. Did have one idea, although I doubt I'm the first to suggest it. Having one of those Quick Jack lifts on (or for) the trailer might be nice. Could make the "on trailer" repairs to get the vehicle off the trailer a bit faster and easier. It could be flush mounted in the trailer deck with a flat cover on top. Probably would need a skid plate underneath to protect it from the road salt. Maybe coat the whole thing in cavity wax or fluid film. I know not to ask about the Mustang, but how about just more Fords! Thanks for all the informative videos.

[@georgevargas2858]

I'll tell you what I hate about your videos, you make this look so easy. It takes me about your left of video just to find my bumper installation tool. But seriously, great videos.

[@Mschasz3129]

You are 100% correct about the oil changes. Sad problem.The oil is so diluted with gasoline you have to change it at 3000 miles no MORE... I confirm this issue by using Blackstone oil labs Analysis for one year on a brand new zero mi's 2.4l. from Gm. The fuel pressure levels are so radical with the change in charging system voltage on a lot of these cars. Just get your oil analysis every 3 to 6 mo.

[@rawdyrider]

Excellent job man!You done a huge favor to this here vehicle and whoever buys it next!

[@jchevy33]

I couldnt agree any more with the remarks about the ecotecs, great engines ! But people dont change their oil, so they have a less than great rep, and used engines are a crazy 2500 minimum around here, nuts ! Ive bought a few with 60 or 70k miles with sludged up motors and junk chains, and i bought a one owner with 180k on it that looked brand new under the valve cover, because they changed their oil, crazy right !!!! keep up the great videos man

[@deanh7190]

Mr. Spotty can be a pain to work with but the dudes always got a smile on his face. Plus he does tricks 🙃

[@325xitgrocgetter]

RE: Changing the oil frequently.....had a 2009 Honda Odyssey.....and would bring it in when the oil monitor was at 50 percent...about 3700 miles...and the dealer pushed back and said to change it when the monitor alert went off...I had to really press them on it...and I think they added to the customer profile comment that I was "old school" when it came to oil change intervals....funny thing is, the VCM Honda engines consume enough oil, we probably ended up adding a quart or two if we went the full distance.
