[@ModestFrog]

I always recommend these videos to anyone who will listen, been calling it "The most 'Murican video I've ever seen" though to be fair I'm a Swede so I don't know how well it stands up to others opinions. Taking a close to free car, getting it in approximately roadworthy shape, then driving it 250 miles to watch Nascar isn't something that would be possible here, just one reason I envy the US a bit lol

[@gabrielv.4358]

Its very awesome indeed. As a Brazilian I find it quite awesome they have such freedom of everything. Best currency, VERY Nice cars, somewhat cheap gas, and a very nice pay wage salary

I don’t know why Ezra doesn’t have his own channel. He’s always doing the fixing while others stand back. He’s funny and seems to have car repair knowledge

[@Boga217]

It's easy to know why..because he doesn't want too..

[@bentboybbz]

I think he's just got low self esteem and thinks we wouldn't watch or get tired of him quickly... Either that or he's past that part and currently full on f everyone that doesn't enjoy his company 😂

Ezra is JYD's Chris Birdsong getting things done in the background

[@aj200415]

Seriously, Ezra is hilarious for sure! I would totally watch his channel if he had one. I love when he starts doing his Minnesota voice lmao😂

[@ouch1011]

Making the videos is much, much more difficult than standing in front of the camera and doing stuff. It takes longer, too.

[@rtillisch]

This quartet is fantastic. I love that Angus is in more videos. Find ways to get Bob and Ezra in more too!

[@coolcats682]

I love that this has become an annual thing and its one of the highlights of my day when these videos come out

[@Slippery140]

Back in the 90s I worked at an RV dealership. At the time,many of the Chevrolet powered motorhomes that sold came back because of a heat sync starter issue. Customers would load up with all their stuff on a hot day and first time they shut it off , it wouldn't start again. By the time I showed up , the engine had cooled down so it started immediately for me. Most customers would come back and trade in for a Ford . Generally the Ford's made a more reliable unit with more torque. Chev should have installed heat shields around the starters, that was the main problem other than a lack of bottom end HP and torque. Cheers Digs!

[@bentboybbz]

Oh and imagine the amount of people that the new mini high torque starters would have helped lol. And maybe some heat shields, and gaskets that didn't soak it in oil 🤣

[@user-iy7yb1sh8g]

Yep. I always say, "You can't go wrong with a Ford." That's all I've ever owned.

[@Slippery140]

@@user-iy7yb1sh8g Experience with motorhomes drew up my conclusion. More torque at a low RPM is necessary to move heavy vehicles. That job made me a Ford guy too.

[@masterkamen371]

​​@@user-iy7yb1sh8glol as a European, I find these comments so amusing. European Ford and Chevrolet are some of the worst trash cars out there, nearly as bad as Dacia and FIAT.

[@Slippery140]

@@masterkamen371 Some our worst motorhomes and work trucks in america are Mercedes Benz lol not sure about quality control in your country but things are different here.. Our best powertrains here is probably Caterpillar and Cummins however most people can't afford these powertrains with our economy. Of the American 3 Chev, Dodge and Ford ,I will take the Ford from my experience. Remember the period of time I'm referring to is in the 90s . The engines offered now are totally different. Cheers Europe dude. Btw Fiat , Ferrari and Dodge work together now LoL 😂

About your Raycon ad... for the first time EVER... I not only watched the entire ad, I bought what the ad was promoting. Thanks. I also have a heat shield and hi-torque starter in the build list for my 83 Pace Arrow motorhome. We live full time in it, with significant modifications giving us a bunk bed up front for our daughter, a folding wind turbine tower, and solar power sufficient for us to be power-independant for the first time in YEARS. It feels wonderful. Now to finish the engine rebuild.

Non-Americano here: Big block, small block Big bore, small bore Ford, Mopar Square body, C-chassis I love watching Americans build these vehicles with gumption and bravado; the culture around car repair and ownership in the US seems to be a lifestyle all its own, but the terminology and jargon is hard to research without a lot of chest-bumping and strong opinions.
