    That was pretty darn nice of Sylvester to get the tailgate and emblem and bring it to you. Don't care what anyone says there are millions of good people out there.

    Cudos to Sylvester. And to Paul also, for getting the right tool instead of cutting his finger again. Diagnosing a sick motor should not require a blood sacrifice!

  • @frankcat1511
    @frankcat1511 Před 5 měsíci +98

    Thankyou to Sylvester what a guy going 4 hours out of his way to give a part that was needed and Thankyou FABRATS for being awesome and creating a channel that inspires and promotes a community where that is a thing

  • @Buzzbomb57

    It's nice to see how far Hunter has come both as a camera person, and a mechanic! He looks a LOT more comfortable with a wrench in his hand now, than he did when he first started! Young man definitely not afraid to learn!

    • @gragor11

    @DeanF Před 5 měsíci +1

    Guys, you know why you are so successful? Because you are REAL. Almost as real as it gets. People LOVE REAL and I would say by now we are all tired of fake. People like me follow you because it means we are a part of something we could all be near and be a part of, so thank you from the bottom of all our hearts for your dedication, you will be made very monetarily wealthy by this, but we all know that is NOTHING compared to the love of one another and the wealth of love you provide to nourish drained souls from all the abuse of a world in disrepair. Thank you! -Dean (from one of the Cox family ancestry)

    My wife and I took a trip to utah for our 8 year anniversary and we stopped by and we were welcomed into the shop and told feel free to look around and ask questions and chatted for a few minutes. Awesome folks. Even opened up the merch shop for us even though it was closed when we came by. My wife was super impressed and even though we were nervous at first they made us feel welcome ! Love watching your videos and will continue buying and wearing your merch 🤙

    I dont know what brand the heads on that big block are, but there has to be something wrong with the geometry. There are so many high horsepower big blocks out there that run just great and reliably.

  • @erichall9438
    @erichall9438 Před 5 měsíci

    Something fishy is going on with that big block, it just eats valve train parts. Many thanks to Sylvester, people like him are one of the many reasons I watch CZcams more than any news outlet or mainstream TV, it’s a hell of a lot easier to find examples of the kindness of others. The 6.2 is going to be an nice upgrade for the tow truck, excellent video folks!

  • @donaldmarty8445
    @donaldmarty8445 Před 5 měsíci +28

    I'm impressed with Landon. When the old engine puked antifreeze, he jumped in with a pan. No hesitation. So many kids that age do the "scratch and dawdle". His head is in the game.

    @caseyrenner7024 Před 5 měsíci +15

    it was cool to do the big block for nostalgia sake and rip it hard for a bit, and if it was just a Sunday driver I'd say big block, but this wrecker is your workhorse, and needs to be reliable and ready to perform at a moment's notice, so im actually excited to see this LS swapped. I give you credit for at least trying the big block and not going to the ls right off the bat. i do think the motor is cursed, or it cant hold up to the Cox boys heavy Pedal stompin' feet😂
