Putting a used front end on a 2019 Yukon Denali rebuild
Vložit

- I lucked out and found a complete used front end for the Yukon. It was much cheaper than piecing it together with used or new parts. It was a short drive to Michigan to pick it up at a yard I have used for over 20 years. Now that the parts are here we can get them edged in and back on the truck. Once the front end is lined up we can get the doors apart for the painting gnomes to do their part. I found some cheap mechanical parts that we needed and believe it or not, they were from the dealer. Who knew?

My favorite part of your videos is the calmness, quiet and relaxing, you're so methodical and detailed. You could almost give any typical person the impression their crashed vehicle could be towed home and fixed right in the garage all by themselves. LOVE IT!
Nah! He edits-out all the screaming and cursing so we THINK he's calm and methodical, It's all phony! ;p
Looks like as you mention but reality is not like that for us unless you are mechanic. I am aircraft mechanic, I know how sometime the job getting messy.
I got hooked for the same reason
That’s the only way to fix a vehicle buying a front clip! Save a lot of money and you get all the little parts and fasteners 👍
Yep, all the little parts make the new part route a loss in the end.
Will you sell it after? For sale
@@vehcor I don't like it when rebuildable resellers strip the damaged parts off and all of those little reusable bits are gone.
Lots of gnomes required for this job...nice work as always!
Someone has to do the work I don’t like! 😂
Your ability to take vehicles apart and put them back together with possibly days or weeks between is unbelievable. I can’t even set my phone down and walk out and right back into the room and remember where I put it!
I hope you and your family have a great Christmas!
Once you have done a few, you remember where everything goes... eventually. 😂 I lose my tools the second I put them down so there’s that.
I enjoy watching you turn salvaged vehicles into something of greater value. It just seems like the right thing to do.
Thanks.
Scott is the guy who writes manuals. To him, it's effortless and easy. Then we read the instructions and start swearing up a storm. He's a genius.
Amazing work Scott and "The Painting Gnomes"!

@@rkelsey3341 Better now?
Vehcor is so detailed! so impossible not to like him. I'm always looking forward to his videos!!!
Oh, my haters find lots of ways to dislike me. Luckily, I don’t care what they think! 😂 Thanks for the support!
6:40 damn I had to laugh "hey why innit going in" ??? lol DUDE the lower rad HOSE it's right THERE!!! lol
Best CZcams channel. Hands down!
Yukonmania! Great work as always. This guy never takes a short cut and his work is outstanding!
Thanks for the support!
Scott as always a very efficient job on the Denali! No drama just amazing work on a cool rebuild! It was very lucky to find a really good front end! I am looking forward to the next video!
I was surprised you found a front end so quickly. Nice work as always. I find I'm learning something and was able to use some of what I learned to help a friend with a build he is working on. 👍
It was listed and it bought it minutes later. Only 5 in the country at the time and it was the cheapest and closest.
@@vehcor where did you find it? I’ve been looking for one but no luck. So I’ve been struggling to buy everything separate 😭
Wow new “battery tray install tool” and “hose clamp pliers “!!!
Must be early Christmas Gift!!!
🤫 I wasn’t supposed to open them!
I did see a safety device in action, to prevent a expensive headlight from sliding out. 😎
You mean my knee? 😂
As always, entertaining and informative. Thanks! -Don
Thanks for the support.
I know so many people that balk at the carpeted wheel liners in newer vehicles, but they simply would not be such quiet rides without them. They do an amazing job at absorbing road/tire noise. Unfortunately they do an amazing job of absorbing water/dirt/mud/salt/animal guts too! Looking like another great build Scott. I also watched the first video 1 meeellion times too so you can let us all in on the final numbers for everything!😁
Very educational. Nice to have the right tools and brains to keep it all in order
GM discovered that the windshield washer fill bottle needed to be removed to get to the battery long ago. My 1997 Lumina had that feature, it was a thoughtful design feature I discovered the first time I needed to replace the battery which for some reason failed before the windshield washer bottle ever started leaking. I am sure mine was the first to ever have that happen and they thoughtfully kept that feature 22 years later. It is nice to see that engineering continues to understand things like that.
They also had a metal bar under the bottle as well. I rebuilt many W bodies (Lumina, Monte Carlo, Regal, Cutlass Supreme, Grand Prix) back in the day.
This has to be the most straightforward rebuild. other Channel’s rebuild takes ages to finish the project. But you my friend, I like your work ethic and you got subscription👏👏👏
A lot of details!! Its harder then it looks!! Especially those little details, like them washer seals!!
The attention to detail Scott here takes to the vehicles he repairs is simply second to none, if he wasn't so far away and in the US I'd have no issues buying any rebuild he did. Solid work heree, not the hack job shit that comes off of seedy used car lots.
I just want to tell you what a excellent job you did with the GMC. I always wanted to see how you could rebuild a auto or SUV that wasn't wrecked to bad. You did an amazing job with the rebuilding of the SUV, and you made it look easy to do. That's shows that you are a true Craftsman. Thank you for the videos.
Thank You 🙏 so much for the great detail that your videos show This past year I had not one but 3 condenser failures I was able to get the tasks done in my garage with minimal dismantling of the trucks 15 Tahoe 15 Yukon 17 Escalade saved us lots of money
Here early. I like this rebuild and lucky the engine was good. I bought a 2004 4runner V8 that got hit with a tow hitch in the crack pulley, lucky me engine was good but had to replace the oil pump, crank pulley, crank sensor and oil cooler haha.
I have had some bad engines in my day. Some I expected, some I didn’t. Of course I guess that makes up for the one that came separate from the car (thrown out in the end over end rollover) and still ran fine when I installed it in another car. I expected that one to be bad! 😂
WOOT WOOT! Been waiting for the video!
Thanks for your patience!
As soon as the notification came in I dropped everything😂 Time for a slightly extended vehcor break!
I would say you could wait but you never know if the CZcams police will take down my video because it hurt someone’s feelings. 😂 Thanks for the support!
@@vehcor they should be focusing on other people who don't make quality content and actually say some questionable stuff and not good creators like you🙄 lol what can I say.
I have never known anybody have to go to that much trouble too match the paint on the doors like that you have to take them all apart???? At least you're a perfectionist on your work.
When we had the oil cooler lines replaced on our Suburban, they didn't clip it in property. It popped and pumped the crank case dry on the way home. The shop replaced the seized engine. We found a different shop after that.
After watching your videos I've decided to revert to the 60's model vehicles. Great videos to watch though, techniques used transfer to other jobs. Always relevant. Thanks
Everyone has their favorites. I prefer the newer cars. More wiring but easier to work on.
@@vehcor true, the wiring and vacuum lines. I used to be Ford diesel tech and drive a 99 powerstroke due its ease to work on but since being retired and no large shop makes the older models easier for me.
@@raynyhus2026 Our newest car is 2004 and the oldest is a 1982 Mitsubishi L300, but with a 1991 engine and transmission.
Some assembly required ....
You made this look much easier than it really was.
Great job.
I enjoyed the old time lapse videos but your new multi part videos are even better. Keep up the great projects!
I love GMC. That truck looks good white, it also looks good black. Love Denali
This is a great series!! Love the part swap
You are really a good man in your work and worth the best. Greetings from Libya
Thanks and best wishes from the USA!
I like how detailed these videos are! I could watch these builds for hours. I’d love to see him rebuild more non-GM cars though! Now that he’s tackled a few Fords I’d like to see some Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep just for fun.
The same engineer that designed the headlight on a Caddy that you must remove the front bumper in order to replace a bulb was given the job to design the battery bracket and overflow tank.
Can't wait to see the finished product!!
Waiting on the painting gnomes.....
Scott..love the fact that you like the clicks..I changed the blend door actuator in my 02 Explorer today and thank God for the clicks putting everything back together. Your helpful hints are priceless. Merry Christmas to you, Mr. Spotty, the painting gnomes, and of course, the Afternoon Crew.
Pretty cool how you can “find” all these parts. I had to pay full price for when I rebuilt my 2018 Chevy Sonic. I used all OEM parts so it came out perfect.
Wow you should always remove a front clip. It sure makes it a breeze to remove the hood..lol. what a great yard to get a front clip. An almost full washer bottle what a bonus. That was a really clean front clip. Shame it wasn't already white.thanls for sharing. Have a great weekend.
I love your show it’s the best shared it to my friend and he is now subscribed to your channel
how you can remember where every bolt and clip goes is amazing. I have a tough time doing regular small mechanic stuff.
It's simple. Part labeling and hardware organization, along with taking pictures, goes a long way. A good memory helps. But, is not required. Parts diagrams are your best friend too.
but but its not boring stuff like this is so awesome!
Hurry up rebuild! Must be a christmas present! Nice that you got a whole nose for it ,that saved a lot of time.
I hope you keep this one sucks not hearing in the pile your videos are very informative
You got a new milwaukee impact wrench! About time you stepped up from that Baur. 😄
I actually prefer the Bauer but I have to let the Milwaukee fans win sometimes.
@@vehcor As a Milwaukee fan I can imagine how hard that must have been for you.
That battery and overflow bottle I thought those mistakes only happened to me LOL
I am always impressed by your attention to detail!
4:50 Such an authoritative voice. lol
It listened! 😂
Hey from Lock down Ontario.
Tommow their going to add another Lock
Merry Christmas to your family 🇨🇦🎄
Lovely Jubbly, very thorough and informative.
Great video! The Yukon Denali is coming along nicely! Glad to see you found a front clip so quickly. Can't wait until next video to see the finished product.
Merry Christmas to you & your family!
Happy Birthday Jesus!
I wish I had your automotive skill set! Looking good. Can’t wait to see the finished product.

I wonder if you have ever called out "Pile...oh wait. My bad. I needed that after all..."
Great job on Denali!
By the way, those and other GM full size SUVs are built in my backyard in Arlington, Texas, thank you very much.
TGIVF - waiting anxiously all week. Good STUFF!
Merry Christmas from Central Pennsylvania
Thanks for your support.
Great video of a clean swap out
Thanks!
Great video as always, Thanks so much for providing these every week.
Like the ratchet strap idea. I have to change a few radiator supports here one day
i would like to come up and be your second set of hands for a while but at 66 yrs old I'm pretty sure i would just be in the way. Good job sir, I would not hesitate to buy one of your builds.
Great series!!! I had to do the same on a 2016 Police Tahoe. Bought it at auction with a clean title. Wiped out the passenger fender, bumper, hood, radiator support and headlight. Wish I had some painting gnomes.
Merry Christmas. ☃️🌲
A major project to be sure. Well Done
I always look forward to your Friday videos. God bless you and your family. Have a Merry Christmas.
Good job! Nice that you got a used clip vs new. 👍👍👍
Have your painter power wash the fender linear dry it spray rapter truck bed linear on it... work amazing 5 years no cracking...and no carpet... easy to keep clean
That's one handsome bodywork gnome
I’ll take your word for that.
You make this shit look easy!
They don’t get much easier than this. 😂I like working on trucks!
Well done
Better than the factory
Excellent Progress!
Fascinating to watch. All those bits. No wonder a new car costs so much.
Hey took me months to design that radiator line.
Luckily you have great content and humor.
This is a walk in the park for you. This will be fixed in no time ;-)
Yep, trucks are my favorite. You can make a lot of progress in a short amount of time!
Great video!
This guy is AMAZING!
The string they use for cutting out wilndshields work great for removing lettering. Takes the chance of gouging the paint.
All the best for the festive season Scott to you and your family.
I like how you got free washer fluid!
Excellent job I love auto repair clips, I'm from Saudi Arabia😊
This is going to be a super nice truck for someone!
I thought this vehicle was black??? Have you worked so hard that the vehicle turned white. Nice job!! Thumbs up and thanks for sharing this build
Those L5P conversions bring in good money👍
It should be an option.
What is l5p?

@@jeffscott3160 thanks 👍
Man this was an education. Props to You autobody guys. I pride myself as a guy that can just about fix anything mechanical or electrical/electronic. But maaaan that's a ton of parts to take apart and then put back together. I am like how do You remember where everything goes? Like I said, props toYou guys!
Man you are excellent at what you do
I love this guy!!!! Period.
Merry Christmas Sir love your show you are a super trades Man Cheers from Australia Thank you.
The description of installation of the oil cooler line assembly was spot on, just how it is......
Great video as always,made it look to easy.keep on doing what your doing 😎😎😎👍👍👍
Thanks for the support!
Nice work Scott !
Thanks.
Good job june👍
Mr.spoty loves being in the way doesn't he
Good looking piece. Worth the ride to VA..Merry Christmas 🎄
some of us on the east coast use wisegrip pliers on hose clamps, and wet sand headlights with 600 then spray with clear
stay safe

Yeah, we do that here too.
Going to be a nice job, all the best for 2021 from here in the UK Scott.
Thats a lot of work to replace a dang radiator Cheers from Jacksonville Florida
You make it look so methodical that I am thinking even I can do it. But that is delusion. Great job. also, your statement at 14:17 fits right in with a suggestion I was going to make. On the door badge, move the 'I" in Denali to before the "greatvehicle
my friday highlight, thanks
Scott this going to be a money maker. Very beautiful truck. Couple of things. Years ago i worked buy my self and hoods could be a pain. I used the Styrofoam corners that came on parts to keep corners from getting bent.
Question the saftey clips ( red ones) can you take a second and show me how they come apart .
Cant wait to see this one done.
You probably can let mom drive this a little while and make money.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Gonna look sweet when it's painted. Nice truck!
That anti-theft threaded door plug......gosh darn engineers think of everything!
Very interesting seeing an entire front clip in one piece like that. Great that you got it so easily. Sometimes things just work out well.
Next Friday is Christmas day, so maybe no video next week? The following Friday is New Years Day, so maybe no video then?
Hope you have a great Christmas and a prosperous New Year. All the best from Queensland Australia.
I was planning on a video but my week just suddenly became very busy.
