I need a toolbox in this truck. I had this tractor supply
one in there I made it work for a few years,
but this thing was just essentially made out of garbage,
and I had it supported all the way in. I didn't have a crazy loaded
but look at that. That's just tinfoil. So I've had this laying in my yard for like ten years
and it's a little messed up. It got a little melted one time when I. I had it a little too close to a fire once. That works I would like if it was a lower profile that's not bad. that's not bad. That going to hit metal? That drill bit is bent The washer just falls off stick that there and we put a washer on and it stays Not staying open any more Use a hammer often That's for towing different trailers like the farm Jack The rake goes under here Jumper cables Use these often Tire chains seems heavy on there for some reason I guess I take some. So this has been clunking when you
let off the gas and get on the gas rear drive shaft here, you see? See that movement bad universal joint When you buy your sockets. Make sure you don't get the 12 point ones.
Those are garbage. Get the six point ones. Wow. It's that tight? extension out of here. I got the bigger battery That is why we are changing this. Why is it getting stuck? I had this rebuilt in 2016, July 2016. I think they did it for free too,
because it's a Smith. I think they have lifetime warranties
or Victor Oxi should be green. That mark means reverse treads and they do that. So you can't mix up the oxygen
and acetylene I’ll cut this side off too Thats one there's little bearings in those
and all those get messed up. Very easy to screw up this project very careful this can go down in there This one can go here and very important. Make sure these are in all the way. That needs to go down
a little bit further. I don't quite have it Ill press it without that thing in the bottom I ruined that cap Usually when I do this job,
I buy two joints because I always ruin one of those caps. This side has to go to go down they never go down enough. Needs a hair more. All right so that's a little stiff They're a little worried about that. But all the clips are in all the way
and it's certainly nothing loose about it. So you can see how this side moves. There's no slop in that. So that's good. What you got there, buddy? Can I see that? Can I see the Frisbee? I see it. Oh, let me have it. I'll throw it. If you give it to me, I can throw it Blue, get the frisbee I got it Lets put it how it was It was like this No, no do not strip them Turn this so there is more room. See, that's how it is. Make sure it starts like that. Should go in easy. I get them all started before tightening anything Turn it around. All right. And that's a new U-joint. No slop. That's good. Now, while the truck's up on a lift,
just do still kind of general inspection of everything. Well, for cracks, springs, leaking shocks,
Anything else falling off? Any grease fittings on this? These are tight. All right. Doing some maintenance
on tire chains here. So this is broken, and that repair failed. I'm just going to weld these these things
I had these overloaded the other day, but they just have these little C clips
that were on here. And look, they both just look at that. I've been driving the truck a few miles
and, you know, the joint feels fine before It's very noticeable
when you'd accelerate. And then just slightly let off the gas,
you'd hear like a clunk. And it was kind of frustrating. Now I’m off the gas... on the gas... off the gas.
Completely smooth. Pulled over here to check it. I just wanted to make sure
it wasn't like crazy hot. It's a touch warm, not even really. That's cold. I want to drop warm but I feel good about that repair. Here is my pile right here. Check this out.
That's pretty nice. They got these things cranes slings. fix that certain little puppy. Where are you? Hey Blue, come here buddy Do you know anything about this? Did you chew that wire? You done being a puppy and doing stuff
like that, right? All right. Lets fix our cordless remote what we need so What happened? Is this because of you? Slid this over it I don't love how it got covered with tape,
but that should be fine. Let's fix this. I don't think that it really
needed glue that was just stuck in there to begin with Blue, you're not going to chew that again,
right? What do you guys think? That looks safe right? This section of road
hasn't been rolled yet. Okay, a couple of things on the inside
here. This radio I put in worked for a while. I was teaching someone how to drive
standard. She stalled the truck, radio stopped
working and it kept resetting constantly and I was really bright,
so I made it not do that anymore. I didn't like this one. It didn't work very well. Even when it did work This was a little more money, hopefully that translates
to Not a piece of junk. I may get lucky here Is this the same? Oh yeah. Look at that. Hopefully the pins do the same things. No smoke came out of it Awesome. All right,
I'm going to say the wires are right. That saves a ton of time. That fits in there pretty good. Does this not line up? that's not going to work because it puts it at the wrong angle Lets make a bracket. So 4” by 3” Cody, is it snowing? all right? Yeah, That's a piece of my old toolbox. Cody, what are you doing buddy? trim that a drop more Is there a Frisby Right there? Would that be a Frisbee? I mean, you have
to have that Frisbee. There's there's like four more out there buried in the snow. There it goes, that looks way better. Hammer in the sharp corners
to make the job professional. Look at that brand new radio. How exciting. How does it work? Will this fit here? It does not need that Initial setup: I'm all right with that. As long as it doesn't do this again, No 96.9? Ok 101.1 That's a good one. Oh, you skipped it. No, don't pass it. Check out this other thing I got here. Let's clean off this dash so the issue is here. The dashboards and these dodges
are made out of, like, plastic where the sun ruins it or
something happens to them, where it gets extremely brittle and that looks a little bit bad. I think we got a solution. That fits like it's not look at that. That is professional. Let's just clean some stuff. And this is nice in here now it's got this microphone
might as well hook it up. That's easy Mic, right there Mic wire come over here They want you to glue this on. But usually whenever you're gluing
something together, it means you're not putting it together very good. so much better. you see how that's like All right, check that out. That is a luxury truck right now. if a certain silver
lab knows anything about that Look at those chew marks in that And he chewed this one a drop. That was like hard plastic. Cody and blue. Oh, you guys are right there. Okay. Yeah. You guys find more deer bones? Okay, Blue. Well, you don't. You know about this blue? I just watched on the dog collar app. They went for a long walk,
but they are up in the woods. And the guy, they're far away,
but they're fine there. And they found a bone. I just had all those radiators
put in this But one thing, look here Hear that sound around 12 psi boost. I think there's a loose clamp
or something. Clamp is completely loose. It's turning but it's
not actually getting tighter Maybe the nut is stripped. Got the nut off
it was stripped out, to match it up. There's a quarter inch fine threads mesh up perfectly and it's the same diameter. I can just tell the threads are a little messed up in that compared compared to a new one. I couldn't get the nut started cleaning up the threads on this clamp. You know,
they should have put new hardware on this. The dog collar app Blue is just crazy. Far away.
And you came back. Good boy. Blue. That was very far
away for you to be, though, All right, let's see if Cody comes back
because he's currently far away still You abandoned your friend. You couldn't talk him into coming back? Feel good about that On the side? That's tight, though. Okay. All right.
I think that was the issue. Okay. Is Cody walking towards us? He is visiting Mimsy. Cody. I had to go get Cody. Were you not going to come back? I waited
and they started going further away Had to go get you. This isn't been running perfect. It had a weird idle Here is the new one. Hopefully that runs a little better. Where's your Frisbee? Go get your Frisbee. Bring your Frisbee. There's another Where is the other one? Blue, where are the Frisbees? I knew it was here. I do not like how that hose clamp is hitting that washer tank that's going to put a hole in that. right there. tight. Okay. Look how much cleaner
the seats look after shampooing them This thing feels like a new truck. With this dash Look how nice that looks. Radio is working. Good, nice and clean in here. What do you guys think? Now I want to get up to was about. Yeah, that sound is gone. You know what the boost seems to build quicker too Yeah it doesn't you know what it was leaking before
or at least that clamp fixed that sound What's that? Right there? Ready? Oh, too quick, buddy. Let me see that I'll just make Cody jealous With Blue pets. Oh, All right. This gap right here is a little bit much Not latched, though, but the reason is these were the wrong latches. They were missing when I got this truck
and I ordered the wrong year. Yeah, that's one much longer. That is. does look like that. M10 x 1.5 Yeah, that's it. You can tell me sink in like that All right, cool. All right. That's latched on both sides that's looking good This toolbox. has been nice, But you go to open it. It just does that. So, plus, these hinges kind of broke Let's change these things. Hopefully that fixes it. all right. Well, that kind of works. Look at the hinges here. So you can see that
just broke off of them. It's just junk plastic
That would never work. Has anyone else been having issues
with buying products lately where you buy something
and it breaks immediately? That's been way too common for me lately. So it's pretty frustrating. This was used, but that design is garbage Like, that's just thin plastic, you know, Of course it's going to break. So let's try to do something
fixing this for free. I'm trying a new tool here. Oh, I see. Okay. These are all different coils. Small read manual. I don’t think so. So this is a induction heater It's meant to heat up bolts Oh, this is stainless steel that does nothing to stainless steel. Yeah, I guess it wouldn't
do anything with stainless steel because it's non-ferrous. Oh, it’s facing that way I like it to catch on both sides that is latched on both sides It un-latches. All right, cool. Let's stop
messing with it because it's working. Anyone can recommend a toolbox
that is actually going to stay working. Like for for people
who actually use a truck toolbox. Meaning heavy stuff is in it Bouncing around off road
while heavy cargo is also hitting it and it doesn't break for no reason. So after doing all these repairs
here, this truck's working good. I did another video covering,
installing that bumper. Happy with how that turned out. Look for that video soon. And I've got plenty of jobs
lined up for this truck this year. So hopefully this thing I mean, luckily
somehow this truck isn't rusted out. So it's got 250 on it. But the thing, you know, the diesel engine and standard,
those are pretty desirable options. Definitely want to try to keep this truck
around forever and it's got the short cab it's a lot of these trucks are hard
to hard to find like that. So. All right. Well, let's get right to work.
A good old fashion repair focused video.
