      There are several folks I subscribe to on YT that I really like and have lots of respect for, but VGG is honestly my favorite channel. Derek impresses me as a genuinely nice guy with a great family, and when he says he appreciates us watching at the end of his vids, I think he sincerely means it. Definitely need more guys like him in this world...

His content is friendly, accessible, funny, entertaining, and approaches things the way not-rich, regular working folks would. He presents as a decent man with strong give-back values. I save his content to enjoy with my boys, and that is really awesome on many levels. Thanks Derek and family! And keep it up. You have a bunch of big fans way up in Can-Na-Da!

      From some random person on the innerwebs, if you have the extra cash after the family is taken care of…do it. My mechanic uncles always told me growing up, take care of your livelihood and if you can afford a hobby do it. Whoever you are wherever you are, if you have the cash the space and some sort of time do it. A project isn’t done in a week, a project is time, dedication, blood, sweat and the works. Maybe don’t start crazy get something that doesn’t need lots of work and grow from there. I hope you get your hobby!!!

    Sweet, that thing is going to have enough power and torque to tow your entire fleet in one go. It's nice to see genuine content like this. Don't see it nearly enough, unfortunately.

    Right on! Ain't nothing like the cherished memories a boy has helping parents wrenching the garage

  • @justinjelenek4915
    @justinjelenek4915 Před 2 lety +23

    Back when I was a wrench turner for big ole machines, we had a jet fueled from the local Air Force base come in to be worked on. I was told by the boss man that it sounded like a rod knock. Long story short, he did not pass Go and collect $200. Problem was a broken flex plate right where Derek was saying. But the inner piece caught onto the outer piece, thus making it still able to drive. Pretty interesting, but I guess you had to be there.

      @sootlicker Před 2 lety

      I once had a tractor come into my shop with a broken crankshaft under it's own power. Made a hell of a racket, but it moved. (Btw, nothing else had damage, just the crank and a bearing. We replaced all as well as checked everything else.)

    • @johnherdener6801
      @johnherdener6801 Před 2 lety

      Have seen that issue more than once. I think some of this comes from shifting to drive while the vehicle is still rolling backwards. I see a lot of people doing that...........

    I'm courious to see how the Monster turns out. I was pondering going with them for a trans for my Ram. I called them and talked to a guy who was supposed to call me back but never did. I did some research while I waited and found a bunch of horror stories so was scared to spend that much.

    • @doba78

      The only monster you'll get from a monster transmission is a monster headache nightmare where you probably gave up your good core transmission to have some 5 time rebuilt piece of crap no monster transmission don't do it
