You need a T shirt that says....”OK That’s Fixed”
OH HELL YEAH
A Man OR BOTH!
Haha that rings so true, nice call =)
I think the t-shirt should read, "OK, let's get started!"
With a pocket. Best part of the vid the dog nose /co pilot. Had to carry into the vet my golden retriever they had him on and off for 3 weeks wanted to put him now the quality of life talk bla bla. Last time taking him to the vet he looks at me and i swear he said. You are kidding me right? So when is Andrew going to do a Fan Mail po box?
"Good as new!" *Bangs dust off*. Man I love your attitude
@I like CLOUTS hasnt had any issues
OLDER VOLVOS V70S NEVER RUST BUT PRICY TO FIX
haha ;)
As a chronic perfectionist, I envy this guy's knack for just plunging ahead with a good-enough solution and moving on to the next task.
Me too man! I carry a vaccum in my truck because i can't stand dust. He's always looks so relaxed and care free, and, like he just managed to survive a mud slide! Lol
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
THIS DUDE COULD FIX GHANDIS BRASS KNUCKLES FOR FREE
I love his attitude. I’m close to his attitude except I don’t have a lot of money. So, when something happens, I’m almost crying
Ok on to the next job
@pete smyth He's what we called in the old days a man's man.
This man is my definition of living life comfortably: roof over his head, gas in the tank, clothes on his back and food on the table. Best way of life.
❤ this. 🐿️🍃
He still lives with his parents 😂
@@garethjudd5840id say his dad lives with him honestly
Amen brother! Happy and content!
People may bust your balls about the condition of your equipment, but you know what, they all work, they are all paid for, No Payments. How many of them can say the same?
@BadDriversOf Georgia Absolutely.
Your right
its people not understanding that line of business. that's a work truck plain and simple. I have never seen a work truck in that field of business be clean or dentless. As for tool if it works no need to replace them.
I get it, But don't you think there is a point where safety becomes a concern?
@@chastitylang1371 You're wrong using that your.
"Ok that looks good as new" laughed out loud at that. But hey it's a work truck it looks great. Alright let's go do something else. World needs more people with the drive to get things done like you
"looks just like new" vs "functions just like new"
That should be a t shirt too
I dont understand how people are like oh its a work truck it looks good.... like no... just because its a work truck dosnt give the excuse of it being that big of a POS.... your first impression you make pulling up to a job says a lot... not saying he isnt a hard worker but kinda says how you do things...
@@lml6.653 - Wrong, I'm from the same area as Andrew and people don't want to pay for your new $60k truck. I show up with references of past work and a $2500 van. I always out bid the "big guys" with expensive trucks, because I don't have a payment and my customers know that.
Your work speaks for itself, your ability to pay for a brand new truck, speaks to how much you charge. :)
@@scotlandwoodwork2553 , Damn straight !
Laughing so hard after you did some touch up painting with an aerosol can and said, "Good as new"....so funny! Enjoy it all!
that stuff is awesome! it made that rust disappear!
As it runs down the side!
even better lol
Most practical guy I've ever laid my eyes on simply outstanding and hilarious at the same time..👍😊🤙😆✌️❄️😁😔

Random equipment in your driveway.. "I just bought that roller." It's like a video game where new level-up charms pop up
Thought same thing lmao. Man ballimg
I can't imagine Andrew being on a cruise for 5 days. Unless he was helping out on a crab boat in Alaska. Guy is so high energy I don't think he even sleeps. Love all your hard work putting out these videos Andrew. Thank You.
I thought the same, maybe he was replacing a crankshaft in one of the ships engines 😁
He is a good worker.
@B Mattingly stfu
Wonder if he had to work on tha ship any.....
There are cruises where its just a drunken party for 5 days...not that I'd know...
4:09 "Alright that looks as good as new" dang near chocked on my coffee I was laughing so hard :)
Need that on a T-Shirt!
touche almost choked on my lunch
😄
As soon as he said that I paused the video to head down here to see if anyone caught that and thought it was as funny as I did. lol
Good from afar but far from good
I found your channel one day by accident .Thanks for inspiring me and sharing your knowledge with all of us .You have saved me $ 2500.00 since March 2019 Thanks
STILL CRACKS ME UP WHEN INSTALLED RADIO WITH CHAIN SAW IN THAT TRUCK
Casually saying: "I just bought that roller".
That's baller
I cant wait for the roller video... actually doesnt matter what his next video is about-I cant wait for it to post!
@@aas1018 facts
Time stamp please.
@@tierfuehrer2 24:38
I think Levi was confused for a while before he jumped into the truck. That new seat really vexed him.
My yellow lab did the same thing when he got old. they do a stutter step until you help them. I really do think older dogs want it's humans help getting in, and they know they will get it if they stutter step.
Linux Lewis yeah my old corgi used to have hops, now he’ll do the stutter step until I help him in
Some people use a wide long board as a ramp to allow their family member dog to climb in under his/her own power - but it's really nice the way Andrew helps Levi into the truck. Something like the ones here: www.chewy.com/b/steps-ramps-449
I think it looked like he is old and not sure if he can do it.
Well, two things to say here - 1./ I think Andrew tossed a couple of Levi's emergency bones from out under the passenger seat before he discovered he didn't have to swap out the entire seat bench and Levi was confused and miffed for a bit; 2./ Andrew made an excuse for not lifting the back of the truck but I think he really didn't do it to be kind to Levi's legs but also Levi's feelings. @Sam Val, good idea that but I guess only useful at home and at the Andrew's Fortress of Solitude, you can't really toss it in the back to carry it around (and using it out in public would probably embarrass Levi - if some lady dog or punk puppy got to see).
I died at "Look at these nuts, i like how thick they are" omg best youtuber ever
hes right! i like em too...they look beefy lol
I was sad to see you did not use the excavator to remove that truck seat...
look at what he saved on fuel...
LOL
"Look at these nuts I love how thick they are" -- that is my new ringtone
You're not only clever, you're a great story teller.
If Andrew gives up on a vehicle it must be really worn out. Next video "let's replace the frame on this Dodge."
MY 97 NEON 4 DOOR JUNKED IT FOR 150 BUCKS FOR USED SUBIE
LIKE 3 YRS AGO
ONLY HAD 167K ON IT ALL RUSTED OUT BAD
SPENT LIKE 19K ONLY 500 MILES ON IT

@@ekop1778 fair enough
Always like hearing "Ok. let's go do something else!" Nice work ethic.
I realised things were serious when the vacuum cleaner came out!
LOL.
I would think the vacuum cleaner gets an easy life .😀
Good morning Andrew and the AC fan club
AC or AM ? Either way, I'm a fan !!
august AC for Andrew Camarata
@@michael7423, Wow, I'm sorry. I totally missed that and shouldn't have. Lol , Thanks !
august no need to be sorry 👍🏻
Good morning to you also. Nothing like a good cup of coffee and AC in the morning lol.
21:13 on - "Let me try something."
Brilliant!
Love your story’s, thank you for sharing. God bless you and your family
If the springs are a bit stiffer it's o.k. because you have a better seat now ! Love your videos . Thanks !
Point to a roller on the roadside and saying "I just bought that roller " 😁
Like a boss. Replay: 24:37
That's his driveway btw
Like the other have also comented, that's his driveway To the "Castle."
Yes, He can build a castle so he can make anything single handedly.
I'm amazed by his acquisitions. Every next day he's something new and best thing is he don't let any of those go unused of rot.
I want to see a vid on the roller!!!!!!!
Andrew Camarata is an editing genius - I just watched 3 minutes of a man power-washing his truck and I luved it!
For some reason he is so likeable. I could listen to him tell stories for longer than I’d like to admit.
I really enjoy the get-to-it, fix-it and move on to the next thing attitude! Why waste a vehicle when you can get all it's life out of it. Great job Andrew.
I use chainsaw bar oil as underseal - creeps into crevices, stays nice and tacky, spray it on with an underseal airgun, cheap as chips, lasts at least a coupla years. You're always an inspiration man - big shout out from England!
I put that stuff in my coffee...creeps out of my crevis
@Bob Green He might be orange, but at least he could put a Real Deal together!
I've never posted a comment on CZcams in my life, but when Andrew was talking about cornering in a "Bronco 2' I was hooked on his channel for life. LOVE MY BRONCO 2!!!
Lol, not many people got that joke. They must not have experienced owning a bronco 2.
I know nothing about trucks or mechanics, I'm an IT man but I really enjoy watching such clever man like you. Greetings from the land of down under.
Oh man, when my lab got around Levi's age I used to have to lift her up into the truck also. I could see she was kinda like, I want to go in there but I'm gonna need some help. Brings back memories.
That truck is iconic, you can't get rid of it.
Andrew, it was really great to learn that you went on vacation. I hope you enjoyed it and got some rest and relaxation.
Nothing beats a hot cup of coffee and watching Andrew tell stories for a couple of hours. I could do that all day. In fact, I actually have. And I always learn something. Best channel on CZcams.
You should do another off-road video.
And fixing small engines.
Yup, that's good logic
I have been in withdrawals for a "it is fixed video" as well. Andrew seems to have an exorbitant amount of common sense, and a can do attitude. Isn't it fun to watch him just go after the end goal? Anyways, God Bless from Phoenix.
Russ Se I bet your vehicles are rust free. Send them to upstate NY!!! Lol
Im in Az as well and and rust is just a non issue
You are a BIG inspiration to all do-it-yourselfers out here in the world ..... almost a 'Get-R-Done' attitude that should be adapted by many Americans !!! Love watching hours and hours of your videos.... even out of order when I find them .... Thanks again !!!!
It's nice to see the American dream is still alive.
I just hope that my grandchildren live to see it.
Love the channel, thanks.
Interestingly, South Main Auto posted a similar rear leaf spring repair yesterday, Eric O tackled it with a wealth of previous experience, but Andrew C arrives at the same pinch points and then solves them with intuition and good sense. Great to see Andrew's 'Make Do and Mend' philosophy in action, "...good as new...". Love the channel, best wishes from UK.
@Gary Bates - I was thinking the same thing. I like to watch both Andrew and Eric O.
@Sam Val,don’t we all?
I added leaf springs to mine. Similar situation, just left the top leaf alone. Then the rear mounts went and i had to get new brackets and welded up new mounts out of old leaf springs.
I like the part, " you get on the gas and it goes one way, get on the brakes and it goes the other way, hey we've got 4 wheel steering! " . I laughed so hard on that one! Keep up the good work and positive attitude.
when you work in the business that Andrew does, you need things that will work, who the heck cares that are a bit beat up, they run, and he takes care of his stuff. Love it and admire Andrew for it and his work ethic..had to dig up a small dead tree here on our small little 3/4 acre, and my husband came up to me and said " Bet Andrew could of gotten that out in less than a minute... LOL Ok, Onto the Next Job...LOL
Your take on the brake lines is so true. I found out the hard way while going down a hill. Miraculously I lived to tell about it.
The Camarata 'Beater'. It's like the Millenium Falcon, it ain't pretty, but she gets the job done! LOL I so enjoy your videos! Thanks so much.
David Caldwell 😂😂😂
"You've never heard of The Camarata 'Beater'? It made the Kessel Run in 12 Parsecs..."
Husband and I both Love all the videos, amazing the ideas and the knowledge Andrew has for as young as he is. Great Work !
I want'd to see it with the loaded trailer hooked up :)
It’s commendable that you maintain all your equipment so well.
Why am I addicted to these videos? It's crazy.
You should get better mileage after cleaning all that crud off the pick up, it really looks good. That looked like a great job to extend the life of a good work truck. When will we get a new additions video, I look forward to hearing what you got the roller for. I love all your video’s your channel has been number one ever since I found you, stay safe and keep doing what you do ✌️Levi had that look of approval 🐕
And he should be able to charge more for his jobs. :-)
Levi hesitated when he saw that new seat, "like whoa that's too nice to jump on"
LOL, or like, where did this come from? Woof!
Andrew, I like your Yankee ingenuity. Your approach to fixing problems is just so very practical.
Beautiful comment Sir. It was such a nice read. Thank you. 🤝🏿
Once again, a rare find. An Andrew video that I had not yet seen. To me, it is just like he put out a new one. Love them. Love Levi. Love scenes of New York that are not all skyscrapers and concrete. Some of these roads he is on remind me of here in Texas. The farm to market roads.
Just the right replacement now is "Springtime" Great enjoyable vid
Andrew, U'bolts are meant to be torqued and will stretch when installed. Once removed, you cannot safely re-torque them to achieve the correct clamping force. Just like those throw away head bolts. Re-use runs the risk of failure. That said, sure I've reused u-bolts.
I like your "dive right in, git 'er done" attitude." You're an inspiration.
I skipped around a lot but if I recall from watching at an earlier date that seat was giving you back pain that is no joke especially when you are older
Saw new AC video, clicked immediately.
Also, AC is my new inspiration: I've decided to go into business for myself.
Watching you put that leaf spring in by yourself made me want to come and help you. 😀
Mr. Camarata, you have superb skills, and a wonderful, relaxed attitude about the miracles you perform. Your work is typically very environmentally friendly as well. We should all aspire to be so capable and accomplished as you.
you amaze me with your willingness to tackle any job. Good job!!
Here in Western Australia I drive fertiliser spreading trucks which have a problem with lime, urea and superphosphate causing corrosion. We pull them to bits and liberally coat everything with Lanolin, which is natural sheepwool grease. It is excellent at entirely eliminating rust and is a lubricant as well - and for those that are concerned about the environment - is organic, natural and the sheep is not killed to shear the wool!
Tu te Kohe To be fair the answer to almost every question in Australia is “sheep”.
JasonFiske What’d you have for dinner last night?
Jason Fiske, I had roast mutton and it was delicious!
The main ingredient in Fluid Film is Lanollin.
Where do you get a large amount to spray a truck underside??
What a rad guy Andrew is...Cheers from down under Australia...🍻👍...
From scratch, this young man has the karisma, why hes got a positive attitude, the strength, the power, the knowledge, of fixn vehicles one way or another, if theirs a will theirs a way, you my friend are on your way to success, why you've got the tools, not to mention you've also got a car lift hoist, you can replace fuelpumps, gastanks, mufflers, trannsmissions, rearends, replace brakes/shoes, rotors, drums, maybe replace engines, too, ect. Keep up the work, Thanks for sharing this with me 👌😊✌️😉👍
I love Andrew, seriously fun to watch... always brightens my day. "I feel a lot higher now".
18:20 "These are nice, look at these nuts"
loved the story time at the end of the video should do something similar more
paid off my house to day.... because you inspirer me to have a place like yours.
For a guy who can't do anything, I really enjoy these videos.
So many things to say from what u shared. I like the way u reason things out and do it quicker and still properly. Amazing what bad seats can do to our backs. I had a desk with a sliding keyboard under it. One day I just didn't want the tray there and removed it. I found I could raise the seat all the way, and being about 6', my back felt so much better. Knowing me I would have wanted to pull the tank and replace everything, so smart of u just replacing the bottom springs as they support the top one. Its a work truck that seems to have performed when needed. I'm also glad u mentioned the copper-nickel brake lines because I want to change mine. I lost my brakes a couple of times and not fun experiencing. Luckily, I wasn't in traffic and just had to replace them. One other thing I'd like to mention is inspecting the struts. I had a front right strut spring cup rust out on me and took out a brand new tire. Luckily, a little garage was just down the road and they fixed it very reasonably. I usually do my own work, but after getting it towed and stuff, they had me going in an hour or so. I say luckily because I was in a very rural area at the time. Well thanks for sharing again.
I swear Andrew is the most wholesome youtuber. you have gained a huge fan base because you make great content, have an amazing way at looking at problems, seem to have an unlimited amount of knowledge on pretty much everything, and have the best attitude for hard work. Love your videos Andrew never change. ps Im from lake placid.
Lovely comment. ❤🐿️🍃
Hey Andrew,
When it's dry, coat the underside of the truck in bar and chain oil (you might need to thin it a drop first) and then go for a drive down a dusty road. It'll make a nice rust preventing coat on your truck and it's loads cheaper. You'll just have to redo it every now and again.
Don't do this hackjob trick from the 60's. He has the fluid film kit and will do it.
@@boomchakalaka0 calm down son

@@boomchakalaka0 it's not stupid my guy, but if you feel comfortable putting people down on the internet then you go right ahead x
@@delmonte2238 You know it's stupid, and it is illegal in many states.
When you get ready to replace the Dodge truck, come to north Texas. A third of the vehicles on the road here are pickups so a great selection. Also the best thing is you avoid the rust problem. I have an 2001 pickup and no rust at all. The underside still looks very good. Also you have restored my faith in young people, watching someone your age with so much knowledge is very refreshing.
I just got an 03 diesel that's not too rusted.
I think my favorite part of all his videos is he spray paints everything when he is done......some reason that is cool.
I am pleased to hear that you got some time to go on a cruise. Even Camarata needs downtime. I would love to see some videos of the cruise.
I watched this to the end. I want to say thank you Andrew, Ive been one of your original 1000 subs. Glad to see the truck get some love, Watching the truck work over time has been one of my favorite parts of the channel. It embodies who you are as a person, hardworking and getting the job done, no glamor. Good for you man keep it up.
To the people complaining about rust, I'm pretty sure there's a video with Andrew running a dozer and and excavator at the same time out there somewhere.... lol
Andrew I just love watching you. My favorite comment, "Ok, thats as good as new!" You gotta put that on a T-Shirt.
... love the story time at the end... I think I can honestly say...

I see your from NY I was born there,now Imnnot living there now and I'm glad.
4:08
usually people: well, time to sell/scrap that thing
Andrew: looks good as new!
keep up the great work on anything you do, you actually inspired me to get an excavator license, wish me luck!
Man, waiting for your videos more than anything else. Can't explain it :)
You answered my comment on a seat Cover for the dodge better yet a new seat. Can’t watch now have to go to work. Can’t wait to watch tonight...Levi’s going to love it.
Some of the things you do . Man I'd never think of it . Love your work
The enemy of good is better. Andrew has the gift of knowing what a part or a tool is intended to do and improvising a strong safe fix. Really impressive.
Dude you've got the best channel... I can watch these videos for hours. Definitely keep putting out content like you do
Andrew that dam seat was so bad it was hurting my ass ..
could you do a house tour, I would love to see the full extent of your shipping container house
I think he does have a somewhat of a tour of the container house.
yeah and I want him to include the location of his safe, the code to his safe, and the location of any security cameras.
Well it's a castle, so....
I think we need a series of videos of Andrew just telling stories while driving with dogs
I am really enjoying your videos. Good to see you setting a good example by wearing safety glasses.
I could see him fixing the cruise ship while on vacation
Probably had the ship's captain pull over so he can change the oil real qwick
Ok Captain, that's fixed.
Traditional view: "You can't polish a turd."
Andrew: 'Hold my beer."
I hate it when other CZcamsrs will have a video showing you how to do something but will leave out how hard it actually is. Not gonna say I enjoyed watching you struggle but its nice to see it in there.
Andrew you're doing it right, the important thing is that your equipment is safe and does what it was designed for, looks especially for fleet work vehicles is like 3rd or 4 th on list of priorities, and you sure see to that, I'm really impressed at how you improvise to fix some things, and in many instances improve on the design and integrity of it, which in turn give better results on performance and longevity of those parts. Yep if it ain't broke don't fix it, and if it's broke make it better when possible, I love your philosophy, you have one of the best work ethics I've seen in a long while, I really enjoy your videos and I have learned a lot just watching them, I live in Arizona and if ever I make it out east on my Goldwing, I sure would like to visit your place just to see it in person if you would't mind, that castle of yours is amazing, your legacy will go on indefinitely, and the funny thing, your just having fun, for the most part....Kudos!!!

Buddy, you remind me of my dad! All his repairs were VERY functional but not so pretty! You always seem to find a solution to any problem, great content
Good job on your truck and thanks for your comment on the new trucks and cars.
Brings back memories. Busted springs on 3/4 Chevy hauling firewood. Took springs out of 1 ton and build our own 9 leaf spring pack. Rode awful unless you had 1000 pounds in the back but she could haul a cord of Green oak firewood.
Not many people have the ability to do simple repairs and make it entertaining
your story about trucks being towed out of the woods is funny thanks for the laugh
I like how you did it in depth on the first side then you sped it up until you came across another problem or something
Idk how i found this channel but I fw it and that’s what you call a real work truck
