I bring you this channel to show off projects, review older used vehicles, and share day to day happenings. I will cover everything from small cars and pickup trucks, to semi trucks and trailers, and a variety of other equipment. As the manager of a small trucking outfit based in Edmonton, Alberta, there is always something to be done on top of my own projects. Along with that, I also have friends with projects that I like to give time to helping with. If you have some helpful information, do not hesitate to comment! And please like and subscribe, I am an amateur at this video stuff but it will get better with time.
New Steering, New Suspension, New BABIES!
I have started replace everything in the front end, but its break time, my twin boys will be born any day!

My C15 Pete's in Derate Mode! Electrical Gremlins Galore.
zhlédnutí 403Před 7 měsíci
This here is my 2005 Peterbilt 378 with the C15 Acert and an 18spd Eaton Fuller. It's been one heck of a great truck, but its age is showing and it sits a lot now. For some reason the speedo stopped working, the ELD isn't connecting with the ECM, and the truck is in low power mode. Time to try and explore a bit.

RESTORED: Dad's '57 Beetle (Oval Window!)
zhlédnutí 309Před 8 měsíci
This is a quick walkaround of my dad's 1957 VW Beetle. We picked this thing up from Edmonton, Alberta last year and it is such a beautiful little car. Dad had wanted one since he sold his last one 40 years ago in order to start a family. I hauled it out to him on Vancouver Island and surprised him with it earlier than expected, and I haven't been allowed to drive it since haha. But here it is, ...
Saying Goodbye To My '78...
zhlédnutí 513Před 9 měsíci
The one thing that has been with me my entire life, I am now selling. My dads old 1978 Ford F150 Ranger. I had full plans of restoring it, unfortunately time and money is limited, it is sitting rusting more, I have a family now as well. Priorities change in life, and sometimes you have to part ways with meaningful things.

Little review on the new diagnostic tool I picked up. Xtool D8. This review is of my own accord, not asked for by the company. To many videos on CZcams reviewing this thing on behalf of Xtool giving them cheap or free units.
2004 GMC Yukon XL. Is It Any Good?
zhlédnutí 10KPřed rokem
This is the walk through of my 2004 GMC Yukon XL SLT with a 5.3L highlighting the likes and problems of it since owning.
Does it have a misfire counter
Yes it does. You can even do cylinder cutouts for fuel or spark to see which is throwing you off. Most vehicles will show a graph for timing to.
i HAVE A 2000. 204K MI. THING RUNS LIKE A CHAMP. INTERIOR IS IN MINT CONDITION ALTHOUGH ITS CLOTH INSTEAD. A BUNCH OF RUST OF COURSE. OTHER THAN THAT, SOME MECHANICAL ISSUES DUE TO IT BEING THAT TIME FOR THINGS TO GET REPLACED.
They all wear out in time. I just did all my steering components! Now replacing all suspension components including a 2 inch level lift
@@VentureGarageOfficial Mind telling me where I can get those fender flares
@@SHAROD312 im not sure offhand. They were on the vehicle when i picked it up. I imagine an offroad/truck accessory place might have them.
One for sale near me. 157000 miles All wheel drive Red Xl 20 inch wheels Leather seats 6.0 engine $4300 plus taxes/ fees 🇺🇸 31 gallon gas tank ugh I have the cash but do i want something that huge? Decisions Decisions
Do it! 157,000 miles is low. All wheel drive will suck a bit more fuel but they are nice to drive.
Yes❤
i was looking to get D9S but it have 6500mAh battery with bigger screen & that mean the battery will not last long without charging! while the D8W 10000mAh with small screen & i was disappointed! thats was really weird for me! but still D8 is a beast. Xtool nailed it with their tools awesome features & subscription & prices! i bought D8W & it's in the way. 21
I was looking at the d9s as well but the d8 was plenty enough. I will be getting the D9HD soon as it can do all the vehicle stuff plus semi truck stuff. Its a bunch more money but xtool has been nothing short of awesome. Their customer service has been great to. As for battery life ive never worried. It doesnt drain quick. Thanks for watching my vid!
Mine still runs like a champ; and looks great. $250k and getting 21mpg highway. If you haven’t already, remove the screen on the MAF sensor.
Why remove the screen?
I have a '05 XL LT, 8.1L, 4.10 gears ... and I love it... I'm retired, so no commute anywhere... nothing like a biog block.
That there is what i want. This gen 2500 with the 8.1. I commute a good distance everyday but it wouldnt bother me any. I just want one lol
I come from a 03 expedition but I have a 04 Tahoe now. Definitely GM made the truck powerful and comfortable. Worth every penny
Good choice! Ive always been a ford guy, but they went downhill with that underpowered triton engine and lack of comfort.
Father of the Year right here. 🍻 my good man. Just picked up an ‘03 Denali for a steal. 225K miles and runs like top. I usually lean towards Ford and Toyota for trucks and SUV’s, but I don’t think I’ve owned a more complete and comfortable suv as this one. Salute!
Cheers! Ive always been a Ford guy myself, my last daily truck was a 1967 Mercury M100 4x4. But ive had all sorts of vehicles including a Kia Sorento. This gmc yukon, despite being rough looking, is hands down the most reliable vehicle ive owned after a year of use.
I also have the same truck but different color and I agree never getting rid of it not even letting my future kids have it they can get it when I’m dead and they better not sell it or I’ll haunt them😂😂
Hahaha good call!
New $5000 suburban? 🥳👍
$5000??? Id love it if mine was worth 5000 lol
Kept the oil changed and coolant flushed out every couple years these last forever far better than ford triton or Chrysler hemi
I fully agree. Never was a fan of the triton v8 engines. I did like the V10 though. And i was never a fan of the hemi engines.
Congrats on the twins. Screw the scammers.
Have a 2006 Denali with 345k miles was a prior police vehicle. We have completely rebuilt with new stall, new cam, lifters, etc. The 6.0 absolutely will drive uphill on a 45 degree without skipping a beat. She is my daily for work new construction plumbing foreman. Loaded with tools and still room for hauling the guys to lunch
Awesome to hear! These things are definitely beasts. I cant wait to rebuild and upgrade my 5.3.
I got a nv 4500 in mine
That must be nice hey!
@@VentureGarageOfficial it's a dream now it's faster stronger and better mpgs it was actually pretty easy once you get the parts
@@subarutime5089 i bet so! Id love to do that
@@subarutime50895.3 litre GM is way better than 5.6 litre Nissan the 5.3 has been around way longer does NOT have anywhere near GM reliability...there are not too many foreign V8 vehicles that can compete with the GM 5.3/325 V8
I own a 2001 yukon xl with the 8.1l. Its got around 210k miles now, and i love the thing. Its got its issues, but ill never get rid of it. But even at 210k, motor runs smooth as butter.
Thats awesome! Id love to have an 8.1 but I commute way to far everyday for it to be cost effective lol. Ill still get my hands on one someday though
To shut off the lights, push the dome light button in and out like 2 times. There’s a trick to it lol.
Unfortunately that doesnt work on these models
Still daily driving my 2002 Chevrolet suburban with 205,000 miles best vehicle I’ve ever owned always been my dream vehicle since they were new
I have a 2001 XL from new and have about 150k miles on it and it still drives and rides like new. Only thing that went out was the ac compressor, struts for rear hatch and glass and now the right side wheel bearing I will fix soon. No plan on geting ridding of it.
Thats awesome to hear. Im at 273,000 miles and i bought it May 2023 with 234,000 miles on it. Its been solid so far. Rusty, little worn inside and out but still cruisin along smooth.
Maybe slow down at dusk and dawn. When deer a moving it's time to slow down. Rut time even more so
I had a 05 Yukon XL CHAMPAGNE COLOR. Loaded to the hilt. I loved it for such a big suv it floated down the highway. The side view mirrors also fold in if I remember correctly it's been a few years with the square button arrow facing in. Only problem i had and could never get it fixed correctly and stopped all together was the gage cluster. A grocery store big rig delivery 18 wheeler backed into the front of it while it was parked in the parking lot. Had to replace the whole front end hood grill bumper etc and after that the cluster got a mind of it's and the gauges would twitch go back and forth stop halfway. I sent 2 places that specialize in gauge clusters and it wasn't cheap to fix it. Work for a couple and went crazy. After awhile of not knowing how gas i had in it after figuring how much I had when the gauge was at a certain point it went off the wall lol and I got rid of it lol but great truck road trips from Massachusetts to Miami and back few times North Carolina and Canada just had to fill it and go. I miss the beast as we called it 😂
Awesome brother! I am actually very surprised you have the balls to take on five kids that aren’t yours now that’s Balsey. Not sure I would do it but kudos to you man.
Thank you sir! We actually are 2 months pregnant now to.. with twins lol. Now i need 9 seats!
has it had transmission issues or has it been replaced ?
No issues yet! Changed the fluid and its still going good. I am using Amsoil Signature Synthetic in it.
I have a 2006 Yukon XL 2500 with an 8.1 v-8. I love this truck. You couldn't trade me for a brand new one which is only available in a 1500.
@@VentureGarageOfficial the 8.1 was only available from 01 to 03 the biggest engine available in 06 in Yukon XL was the 5.3 unless it has replaced
@@stevemino142 right up until ‘06 a Yukon XL 1500 came with a 5.3 or 6.0 and a XL 2500 came with the 6.0 or 8.1.
Just received the D8W (wireless direct), after using Torque Pro for many years. Totally exceeded expectations.
Clearly a diesel Nissan RB25DET 😂
Lol oh yes clearly
I think some of the Linde stuff has vw engines
I did see that online. This turned out to be a 6.1 Deutz
Internal combustion
BF6M Deutz
Good day from Ont Deutz engine I thought were air cooled I just look up specs Yes deutz engine Thanks
My wife drives a 2005 Z71 suburban with 175k miles, and I drive an 02 silverado with 179k miles and just bought a 2001 Tahoe with 171k miles for $3900. My neighbors think I'm crazy for having 3 of the same thing, but they always start and run even if they are broken. In a pinch, I can take a part off another truck to keep the other running if need be. I love them. Used to have a 2000 silverado as well. The 05 is the newest vehicle I have ever owned.
Is the 8.1 diesel?
You keep saying everything good on the truck, then list off another two dozen things that don't work. Buy that $5,000 one you were mentioning. "There is nothing wrong with this truck" 😮
Also the a/c could be your actuators messing up or gone. They’re pretty cheap part, for the miles it’s pretty good
I’m not sure if it’s your rods maybe cams, but for me I have tick currently and it’s an exhaust leak where the small bolts are for the manifold,, basically they put small bolts there’s for whatever reason imma get a new manifold and I had a purge issue at one point as well and that’s about it, good car
Mine is an internal kinda knock. Definitely piston slap. Doesnt happen all the time and quite faint. My manifolds dont seem to be leaking yet!
Did you know your vehicle has a name in the dash ;)
It has a name in the dash? Do i need to rewatch my video? Lol
@@VentureGarageOfficialyea open the plastics up near the cluster or look it up l they all have names my name is Misty she’s a brute 💪🏻
You can look it up on how to do it or where to find it
@@VentureGarageOfficial it’s mainly the 00-06 models that I know of at least but it’s like the plastics of your dashboard that come undone
@@gavinsuckla5300 thats wicked! Im gunna have to look
I own 05 GMC YUKON XL for two months with minor repairs nothing major💯
8 months for me, no major issues either. Few maintenance things and thats about it
4 years amazing 2004 🙏🏼 the engine is bullet proof, I got into a crash and they’re steel bumpers come in handy lemme say 😏💪🏻 n Misty is still running like a champ
Unfortunately, it does not support adjusting the radar of most cars, even though programming icons are present. I tried it on a Chrysler and unfortunately a message appeared to me that the feature is not supported. I also tried programming the TCM and it did not work.
Yukon XL is the equivalent of the Suburban. Both are solid vehicles.
I have the xtool d8 bt... Love it.
Absolutely a great tool. Great for the cost to
Must have been well maintained. My 04 has problems with .. Ball joints, and tie rods yaya ya. We didn't maintain her well so,now divorced, Its all my problem now. Other wise i think shes a good girl shes nevr gave me really any trouble that I couldnt have prevented with proper maintenance 🤔
They are great units. Im gunna be making another video, been a lot longer than planned but i have some more repairs to do now. Ball joints and tie rods are cheap repairs thankfully! Im about to do those on mine, along with bushings and a cv axle and fuel tank straps. Engine and transmission are cruisin along perfectly thankfully
