Working on the big iron, LOL!

Warren, even after watching you for all these years your motivation is astounding. A lesson to us all.

Thanks for the video Warren, enjoy that warm fire with your 4 legged buddies and your family.🤗

Good ole dodge. I recently sold a 2007 F350 diesel. And bought a 1999 Ram 1500. At the time I told myself it was a good idea. What I’ve learned…I’m not a dodge guy. I knew it was a little bit of a project when I bought it. And it’s not super difficult to work on, but it has so many little problems. Steering, interior….and dodge couldn’t decide what size bolts to use. The sizes are all over the place. I’m convinced now more than ever, that a dodge pickup is just a shipping crate for a Cummins engine.

[@CamelGarage]

I agree with you 100% warren, no sense in having them pups jumping in and out of that truck. It makes my body hurt just thinking about it, or maybe that’s just the arthritis lol

[@rickscott4879]

I miss your road call videos they are more interesting because that's what I do for a living. Years ago you and your wife pulled an engine on a road grader ❤ your videos keep them coming

[@nathankisner8332]

That was a good one!

[@almoncrandall9066]

My hats off to you I would have gone off the deep end with it dripping on me. I can work in the hot or cold but cant take being wet. I also have to say I used an air chisel on a hydraulic line that i learned from you. I t made it so easy Thanks for sharing what you do.

[@jimcrowl6925]

I'm amazed by how little rust is on the trucks that you work on. Here in the rust belt, they rot away pretty fast. Vehicles 10-15 yrs old in the northeast are getting crusty. I like seeing the variety of things that you work on. Thank you!

[@billyadams9985]

And dealerships ask 30k for that rust garbage

[@russellgilson4072]

Always enjoy your comments during the repair process, hang in, there guys like you keep the equipment rolling!

[@teamcummins]

Great job man. Would be nice if some customers would've brought the pickup inside the shop beforehand and let it thaw out for you

[@kevins1927]

I was thinking the same, or towed it to his shop!

[@randyvoss]

I was wondering why the owner couldn't get a tow truck and have it towed to Warren's shop instead of Warren driving all the way up there

[@fastst1]

@@randyvoss Looks like its a lot of miles away and folks are sometimes cheap. Warren could snap up Casey's rollback, but that's another tool that needs taking care of. Truck in a customers shop, it'll be dry later

[@toddschipplick2121]

You say that this wasn't much of a video but as usual I loved it! No matter how trivial or small the job it's always educational. Thanks Warren.

[@robertstibz9506]

I'm still enjoying your video's after years of watching you work on everything Warren, hope you have a great new year.

[@kwshilts]

Your care and compassion for your dogs. It should be a lesson for all dog owners. Helping them in and out of the truck is essential for their long-term health.

[@mfc4591]

Never is fun lying in water with crap dropping in your face, but that is the life of a mechanic. Thanks for the video. Enjoy the time with family

[@GCraigmile]

I hate doing that kind of work under those conditions!!! You, sir are a real mechanic no doubt about it.. It really really really hurts doing that like you did when you get old like me.. Thanks for the video

[@capt.graybeard]

Honestly Warren, is there anything you won't work on? Is there anything you can't fix? My gosh watching you work makes me regret ever admitting I ever had a job! You could put me under the table bury me hard as you work. Keep up the good work old buddy!

[@dougnorton5143]

Your exactly right about the special tool quadrium. I have a shelf full. I turn down jobs now that would require me to buy a probably one time use tool, especially if the price is stupid compared to the job. If I can't borrow or rent it, I don't work on it. Time for me to look out for me because looking out for others usually just leaves me broke.

[@bills6093]

V8 with a manual. Fun to drive little truck. Those were the days.

[@johnwaby4321]

Well at least you managed to get the truck into a workshop. And when you go back it will be dryer .. Nice work warren .👍👍👍 Can't fault you with having a glass of whisky when you get home .👍

[@iceman9549]

Thanks for letting us hang out buddy 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@died4us590]

That hay squeeze looks good painted after all that work you did on it. I was glad to see you pull the truck in the garage, because messing around in cold crappy weather is no fun. G-d bles.

[@christopherkingston9601]

As soon as I saw the thumbnail of the snow and then you in the truck I wanted to be sharing that days work with you. You got a big great heart man !

[@philipspencer1834]

Warren, you have true work ethic. Amazing. 😎👍

[@BobTheBreaker9]

Hey Warren, we appreciate the big iron videos too😊

[@fredflintstone8048]

I had to laugh a little myself at the fact that they put a snowplow on a Dakota. How long can anyone expect a clutch to last on an undersized truck pushing a snow plow? You make a really good point of the futility of buying specialty tools. It's partially why I bough a lathe and an old milling machine. I end up using them mostly for making tools to do machine work, and also to make my own special tools. I know, it takes up some of your time but making tools for putting in and taking out bushings goes pretty fast. The great thing is not having to wait or to chase some over priced tool around the country.

[@neonhomer]

Someone thought because it had a 5.2 V8, that it could do the same work as a 1500...

[@1waukesha]

Hey Boss. You need to get ahold of a milwaukee head lamp with a couple spare batteries. Best light I ever had. If you keep it on low setting it will run all day, or bright as hell on high. Anyway, thanks for the videos.

[@FarmingMechanic]

Warren I feel your pain on the braces, hope you have better luck with parts store clutches than I have recently

[@rickytart1028]

Much enjoyed thanks for sharing.

[@richardhoneywell7411]

Great video Warren that Dakotas definitely going to need a upgrade on the clutch for sure. Hopefully one is available. Thanks for sharing stay safe Warren.

[@christopherkingston9601]

Don’t berate yourself my friend. You shared a REAL vibe with your experience their. I could almost feel the cold and wet . The cold took me back to going to work on my Gilera 50cc moped at 5.30 on dark winter mornings. The wet was lying in a puddle in a Cardiff scrap yard, to get a gearbox for a Chrysler Sunbeam out with two cars on it .

[@George-dy3pt]

You're the man Warren! Those guys better appreciate what you provide them because there ain't many of your kind left! Thank you for another great video as always!

[@douglasmayherjr.5733]

Another Great Video, Warren. It got cold in Michigan, from 30’s down to-2. The older I get, the less I enjoy the cold weather. That would not be my ideal plow truck, but work is work. Stay warm and safe.

[@TheBayoutransplant]

Man, it is great to get to ride along with you on these calls. I drove miles and miles in that country doing just what you are doing, of course for me that was 50 years ago!! Very nostalgic to "drive" those roadways and see all the scenery that I fondly remember. No snow here in the greater New Orleans area however.

[@dclfarms6204]

I grew up in Wyoming and often think I miss it until I see videos of that weather. I spent the day working on a new to me service truck/welding rig in a long sleeve shirt and blue jeans here in Georgia. I’m moving up from the 85 to a 94 and it’s got me feeling kind of fancy.

[@calumanderson5617]

I like your thinking with the bottle of whiskey and I always use to help up my late Labrador into my truck when she was alive, thank you for the video Warren. 👍

[@ianlulham]

Can't say I'm envious of you crawling about on a wet floor with water constantly dripping on one. I do have the tee shirt for that. Nice to see the pup make an appearance. Hope your now sitting in front of that fire, dry and warm, with said bottle of fire water.

[@Nick-nw6zg]

Warren. I am positive that any expensive tool that went obsolete you could find a way to adapt and overcome with that tool.🤘🏼‼️

[@spuderukporter5721]

Love this work outdoors warren it separates the men from the boys love you all xx

[@JamesPretty]

you're a tougher dude then me, I couldn't do this work in that weather..

[@randyballew8795]

I think I got dirt in my eyes while you were underneath that damn thing 🤣

[@GoInfluenceyourself]

These videos give me the motivation to go out there in the driveway and wallow around in the mud and the yuck around and under my own machines. Also a leaf blower would help in situations like this where you could blow the water off the underside of the equipment and off the floor. Won’t help a bit in the mud though, Ha.

[@RJJ6129]

Love special tools, bought one years ago for a Ford and I’ve used it twice. Good times!

[@nickchannel5364]

The spare engine you had for your service truck sounds great. I remember when your truck was down.

[@johnandcarolynmills3061]

Your the Man Warren. Great work. Pat the Dogs. PS Springs Coming.

[@govtfunded]

I started wearing that fairly lightweight Watershed rain gear over my covies for small shallow ponds like that. Helps keep me a bit dry when the inevitable field service call comes.

[@stephenheyes4324]

Warren that's dedication lying in that water all day sure don't envy you hope you got warmed through and enjoyed a shot or two of whiskey

[@gregglogan9553]

love all your videos

[@G-Man-kc2nm]

I remember those days buddy. We had older dump trucks we plowed with, the snow and cold weather exposed all of there weaknesses. The plow pistons were air, if the driver didn’t drain his tanks or forgot to put alcohol in the air compressor reservoir everything would freeze! I still get calls where the machines are out under a carport and the snow and rain destroys the machine. This why I have arthritis, everywhere!

[@ernestrhoades5147]

[@terryrogers1025]

I am with you on putting a plow on a DAKOTA, i have had 2 of them, nice little truck for chasing parts, cruising around and parking in a city, plowing snow, no, not in my book, not made for that as far as I’m concerned. Like the way you take care of the puppies, they are family as far I am concerned, hope that hot shower felt good after rolling around on wet, cold floor, been there done that, all one can say is, you do what you have to do, doesn’t mean you like it. Thanks for the video sir, enjoyed it.

[@richardlincoln8438]

I guess that it pays the same as working on anything else so.....? Thanks Warren. Best Wishes to You and Your Family.

[@jamest2101]

I saw all that water on the floor and though " Shit this is going to suck for him trying to work around all that freaking water". And hell you didn't try to work around all that water, you worked in, under, through it and any other it there is ... Gees you are just a little hard core!

[@gregbird6615]

Nasty weather here and was hoping for a video. Thanks Warren

[@jonathanhageman150]

Love the different projects😊

[@ChrisHarding-lk3jj]

I just finished up an overhaul on a 6r140 a couple of days ago for a 2011 powerjoke. My customer initially purchased a reman from Ford and had it installed and it lasted exactly 3 days. When they picked the transmission up from the dealer and looked at it they started having concerns with it since whoever is handling the reman process for ford is just painting over dirt and grease and it had mismatched pan bolts. They were glad they hadn't returned their original transmission core. I rebuilt their original transmission and they installed it and now they are fighting with ford for a refund. Most likely they will be disputing the charge with their credit card provider and get a charge back.

[@George-dy3pt]

Sounds like the Chinese and the communist have deep connections in every company in the United States!

If you jump start off your truck often, you might want to put empty ring terminals on under your battery cables. It makes it a lot easier to hook your cables up.

[@fuhrstpuhl3278]

Hi Warren hey there is a new thing out there called Magic Creeper, its looks like piece of polyethylene that you throw down and lay on it and you just push yourself under the vehicle and it rolls under you check it out, at the least it would not soak up water and keep you somewhat dry......thanks for the video.

[@51ubetcha]

One of the many things I don't miss being an retired auto tech is working under a wet drippy snow cover vehicle and having the cold water running down your neck and arms or laying in it

[@timwright297]

I owned a Dakota at one time. If I remember right the owners manual says dont put a snow plow or a camper on it.

[@christopherkingston9601]

It’s been cold in Weston super Mare for a few days now and I’m tearing down an old shed to make something better. This week a whole lot of snow is being dumped on the UK so check out the news over here late next week . keep warm Warren. I have some electric socks coming to protect my damaged foot nerves. I’ve been real unhappy for a long time and layer down in a field to die. Along came freezing rain And I took it , figuring hyperthermia would more things along even better. Left my feet soaked for days just like WW 1 trench foot. Those guys suffered . Big time.

[@kevinoscarson2941]

Bill your tool to the job. Thats what I did, however I would normally give a quote. Sometimes I would discuss this with them and they would keep it when I was done. Most of the time they gave it to me.

Good video warren keep um coming. A hot shower and the most precious time is spent with your wife I lost mine four months ago cherish that time

[@r-s5997]

keep up the good work warren

[@chuckpreston4981]

Warren, you always seem to have a hassle with lights...SNAFU, I guess. Have you ever tried one of those "halo" lights? They fit on your head and the LED light projects about a 200 degree light field. The one I have has multiple light levels, A spot light function, A "wave on wave off" capability as well as a flashing function to GRT attention for help. It's rechargeable with a USB cord.

[@jasoncassidy2517]

Hey Warren, you get a lot of snow like we do here in Ohio but I noticed the vehicles you work on don’t hardly ever have any rust on them, do they use road salt in your area? LOL that Dakota you’re working on would be turned to dust here in Ohio because of the stuff they put on the roads 🫤

[@westerntruckandtractorrepa1353]

No salt here. That's a good thing.

[@robertnelson4755]

Hey Warren, how about loading up your shop heater when you go back and warm up that shop you were in. Hell, I'd do that and bring along a coffee maker just to have a little comfort in those chitty conditions.

[@garysoykin2783]

My friend had one of those Durand it was real weird. You had to roll backwards, are something and hold the 4 wheel drive. Switch something real weird and I think they're all that way. You may want to google that one
