that dodge is unheard of something that gave birth to the raptors and rebels

Romans 8:15-16 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:/inspiration+Whenever we are in bondage to someone or something, we live in a state of fear. One good example is what happens when people get bound to credit card debt. We get so bound up in our debt that we live in a constant state of fear every time the phone rings. We believe it's one of our debt collectors. Every time a bill comes in, we are afraid we're not going to be able to pay it. Debt is a horrible master. Any kind of slavery breeds fear. A slave is under constant fear and constant alarm, but when we are freed in Christ, that fear goes away. In this passage Paul tells us that we don't have to be slaved to fear because we are not slaves to God. We are adopted to God, by God and with that adoption comes love and affection. Children who are adopted by a parent don't feel fear; they don't feel like slaves. They feel accepted. They feel wanted. They feel loved. God literally has taken us as strangers and brought us into His family. We are not slaves. We become His children even though, by birth we had no claim to Him, He still has taken us in and now we're under his protection and we're under his care and as such we obey him as a child. We can cry out to him as a child cries out to a father, Abba. God is our father above all things. Yes, He's a holy God but He is still our father. Even though our earthly father might be a great and powerful man on this earth, even though he may run huge corporations or be the president of the country, to us he is still "daddy." Paul helps us understand that in this passage. This great and almighty Lord of all creation is our daddy, who loves us and longs to protect us and we do not have to fear any longer once we become one of His children /prayer+ Father, I thank You for making me your child. I am thankful that I can come to You in sincerity just as I would come to my earthly father. I thank You that You accept me for who I am, that you've adopted me as one of Your own and that You love me as a father. Thank you for the love that You show me and adopting me as your family and making me one of Your own. Amen.

Drive it till it bites you in the ass the mantra of any dodge truck owner

That's the fun of being a mopar owner. Just drive it till the part blows, B!T@# about it for 2 weeks, then go on rockauto, fix it and drive again till next blow up.

Yeah pretty dumb. I looked and they sell lockers also, and for less than he paid for thr cover.

All they do is buy stuff to promote the website. A cover is not going to give you better traction or power.

If he kept the cap on the truck he could have used the money for a lock-rite diff to give him more traction

Literally what I was thinking 🤣 like bro

Both the guys with truck caps got bed covers...

Gotta love the commercial for the website they used to buy stuff lol

I think he really doesn’t know what to buy so he buys anything 🤣 I would’ve used $2000 to fix my truck not buy accessories

It's basically just a commercial for Real Truck and they don't sell diffs and stuff like that.

@@GracUntoYou Dude. Please stop.

@@GracUntoYou I think there may be better ways to spread the gospel. Perhaps just post a short verse, something that intrigues people. And don’t spam, responding to everyone makes you seem like an annoying comment bot, and people automatically ignore it. Maybe pick a verse relevant to the video? Like post a timestamp when there is a beautiful sunset or nature like this 00:00 And then a verse talking about how beautiful God’s creation is.

@@saturnmedia1 I'm sorry can you show me biblically how to preach Gods word please?

Yeah that’s way exaggerated at the end of the day. That should usually cost like a $700 at a shop.

I’ve basically self taught myself. I haven’t paid a shop to do any work on my trucks (2wd obs GMC and a 4x4 obs GMC) and between the two, I’ve done about everything other than a trans replacement. Fuel pump, engine swap, front end, u joints, you name it.

@@austinjames3525 yeah I do most of my own work unless it comes to electrical. I hate messing with electronics especially on newer vehicles

@@XGamersHearx the newest thing I own is a 2005 Mercury and haven’t had many problems with it. But my 92 GMC was my first vehicle and that’s where I got all my knowledge from.

@@austinjames3525 I own a 2008 Dodge Caliber SRT4 and a 1999 Dodge Dakota Sport. The Caliber was cheaply built due to car companies struggling during the depression we had in 2008 and it was kind of a flunk but it can be built to be a bad ass car. The Dakota isn’t that bad tbh

Yea i was kinda frustrated watching that. I understand they needed to pitch the sponsors shop... Would be great if they carried the steering assembly needed. Kinda looks like pompous move, otherwise.

Well, keep in mind, these trucks are toys. They aren't making any of them into daily drivers, at least, not yet.

In the last two minutes, they seemed to indicate that they also fixed those critical safety issues.

I think they have a separate budget to fix critical safety issues. At the end of the video they said that they did all the required fixes.

Oof, I cannot relate to cheeping-out/holding-off on replacing bad tie rod ends. I hope nobody actually does that. Probably the reason some states have inspections right there.

Thats like half a step below engine swap as far as price and effort.

Because the 3 of them know nothing about vehicles. They are here for entertainment purposes only.

It is the Colorado way lol.

@@foellerd I LS swapped my Dodge Ram for about the same price a new starter and gasket set for the 318 and a trans rebuild kit. Double the horsepower, shed hundreds of lbs and double the fuel economy.

@@MrPland1992 I'm torn, cause I love the reliability I've had with my 318, but also love reliability of LS motors and agree to more power,better mpg. If the 318 ever dies we'll go from there. 🤔

👌 26:32

Yeah, he was like... "I need power" then proceeds to buy a heavy bed cover. Also the tuner alone won't do much for that engine. It needs a manifold replacement and a tune to wake it up. The old kegger is good for torque but not HP if that's what he's going for with the tuner. I am glad that they fixed the critical stuff on that dodge though.. death wobble isn't a joke.

@@frenchonion4595 Ewww!

At the least you get the truth and a test drive filmed

I have a 92 Chevy I just bought for 2500 and it’s perfect condition and interior is the perfect rare blue interior the only problem is a rear main leak and it has abt 267k miles on it

My 98’ C1500 has 290k , love her . The second owner replaced her engine and we replaced the transmission so realistically I think the truck can make it to 400k .

I would have no problem buying that chevy and daily driving it. Not a damn thing wrong with it. Eventually replace the outer tie rod ends and it's perfect. Good oil change intervals and the engine and trans could last maybe 350-375k miles. I haven't seen too many 350s go past 400k without rebuilds. Good engine.

Fords are always suspect bc of the crappy wiring but definitely better than the dodge

Lol, this literally just happened to me during my annual inspection. Rear brakes were almost metal on metal. They didn't say anything about that, only asked if I want to change the cabin air filter, which they had already changed a year prior

came here to say this lol i had to take my cluster apart and re-solder a spot to fix it

Nope, the 2v 5.4 was notorious for blowing out spark plugs. The 3v had the opposite problem of the stock plugs getting stuck in the head causing you to have to pull the head to do a spark plug job.

I fixed my 5.4 2 valves spark plug proble. , 238.000 great Van E350 with a AOD tranny , I worry about the tranny more then the engine.

Seriously... I wish I could find a mechanic this thorough and knowledgeable in NY.

@@andrewfossatti4937 could be you.

Have you ever heard of common sense. That is all I witnessed with that mechanic. Take the time to look things over and take note of things that are not right

Yeah I actually disagree with some things he said. I’ve driven vehicles with bad parts sometimes when I couldn’t afford parts, if you understand your vehicle you can feel when something is going to go really wrong. Don’t recommend doing that though. For those ball joints and tie rods to fail you would have to drive real fast on really bumpy and uneven roads, maybe do donuts on bumpy terrain would also help them fail, you could probably actually drive like around town just going easy on it for quite a while, even highway as long as your not driving like an idiot. I studied to be a mechanic at Holland college, did very well but I found out I don’t like it as a job.

At least you can haul the garbage to the end of the driveway.

@@mph5896 lmao yeah

It's also useless to have a 4wd with open differentials...

Couple years ago I replaced all that stuff the ram need on my 01 ram. Bought moog everything for $500ish off Amazon and spent a day in my driveway. Like a year before that my friend spent about $1500 to have a shop do it on his 01 2500 with lighter duty parts.

I know it's hard to believe, but some people actually have no desire to ever work on a vehicle and don't even own tools.

those type of people dont buy old busted trucks they buy new or certified preowned.

@@kahless0173 Absolutely not. Many of my customers are those people. They buy plenty of busted up old vehicles.

really cheap too. parts for these american trucks are not nearly as expensive as they would be on a BMW or an mercedes.

What motor is in your Ford? 5.0? 5.8?

@@AG-rk5hj It's a 5.8 Gonzo

i have a 111k mile 94 f-150 4x4 xlt rcsb 5.0 5 speed great truck!

That was a early model dodge, sooo. 🤷‍♂️

The later models are shit as well. For some reason they can't figure out a reliable steering system.

Probably $75 an hour for labor. But honestly it's not bad if they do it correctly. Vacuum out the system, clean the filter, add the right amount of oil etc.

Ya well thats in Denver Colorado and its pretty expensive to live there and a Good Honest mechanic, which Toby seems to be, is really worth his or her weight in gold for everyone out there that doesnt know diddly about vehicle maintenence/repair. Heck I know a good bit and do a lot of wrenchin on my vehicles and my mechanic is worth his weight in silver for all the things I cant handle and gotta have professionally done.

Yeah, those Chevy trucks back then were awesome. Simple, reliable, long lasting.

They are still better than the other two turds.

@@cinder9950 Chevy is a sh*t lol better than ford maybe your dreams kiddo

@@cinder9950 GM is crap nowadays. Cadillac has the 2nd least reliability with Volvo being the worst

Dodge Ram too

2002 and later 2V heads had deeper thread count 9 vs 5.

There's that and the tendency of the engine to ... self destruct on the 5.4 3V via the VVT system. -Given the number of "worst engines" lists that it's on and the "be ready to replace the engine on a used 5.4 3V" advice I've seen, I was a surprised to hear the mechanic say he'd pick that Ford for reliability.- Edit: I'm an idiot, that's a 4.6, not a 5.4

@@seasickleader1142 Exactly. I own the 2004 F150 5.4 3 valve with 232,000 miles. Motor will soon need the complete timing chains, guides, phasers, tensioners, etc. job or eventually something bad with timing will happen. Still runs strong, however, and never a leak of any kind in the driveway. Truck has been remarkably solid. I got lucky, I guess. Just completed full suspension rebuild and it was about $1,200 in parts. Not bad. Still, the Chevy was probably a smarter buy for the long haul because its motor is a way more reliable design.

@@nickb5410 you are prolly more diligent with your oil changes? Being more aggressive in terms of frequency than the factory recommends (which is a joke IMO) does pay dividends with these oil sensitive engines.

Please, enlighten us.

He's right. The early 3 valve engines were the problem. All of the 2 valve engines were good engines.

@@mallardhunterhunter8588 while it's hard to argue that the 3V engines are better than the 2V engines, the earlier 2Vs are the ones that have the spark plug ejection issue. The 3V engines are the other way around to the point getting the plugs out can be fun. As in "break the spark plugs leaving half in the head", "there are special kits for getting busted spark plugs out of the 3V heads" kind of fun.

yeah as a 35 year mechanic this is cringe worthy

Now that is great, honest truth!

If you combine the numbers for Chevy and GMC then it ends up pretty darn close most years

I'm down for this. Compare them off road and towing

1 gets parts from Ebay Motors and the other gets parts from Wish

theres no mechanics near where you live??? usually no matter how far out in the sticks you go thats the one thing you will always find

Well, unless it needs a new A/C compressor....

Those trucks are REALLY clean underneath for being antiques.

Definitely the best looking back on the day lol

Most advanced of the three. Just like in 1988 when GM came out with their new generation.

Brake warning light on the Ford is a common shirt in the dash. My 08 does the same thing

In a garage called "German Auto" I would expect he has a lot of "Tuner Customers" which means you need a LOT of expertise to diagnose, repair and upgrade components. He is no greenhorn that's for sure! He's got some serious mechanic's miles under his belt. It's a nice thing to see when there's OBVIOUS competence and experience here! For each vehicle based on my OWN experience with such older trucks, I would spend AT LEAST $2500 USD each to bring the trucks up to snuff so they are truly safe and roadworthy. In terms of 4x4 use, it's going to be ANOTHER $3000 USD each to bring them up to severe off-road worthiness! Some people would say NO WAY hozay BUT once you know what's wrong with them and that they are basically SOUND vehicles, you might as well spend the extra bucks and bring them up to the unwritten Off-Road 4x4 Code! Just like a McDonald's Meal, you will at least KNOW what you're going to get and it WILL taste good for at least a while! When a NEW truck is going $50,000 USD+ I have no issue with spending $5000 to $7000 to get something I TRULY LIKE AND WANT in terms of 4x4 off-road ability! It sure is a heck of a lot cheaper than buying a NEW truck! You get nearly new performance at ONE-THIRD to ONE-QUARTER the price of new! What's not to like about that! The money you just saved can now buy yourself new fishing and camping gear, a used QUAD-TRACK or dirt bike, and STILL have some spending money for the multiple two-week multi-lakeside and riverside fishing/camping trips! v

Toby is a GM guy, so he really don't care

The 5.4 triton was 3v in 04, the 4.6 was 2v till 09 I believe. But the 4.6 didn’t really have this problem cause they have been using the 2v for so long in other vehicles they figured that problem out.
