I gotta say, I love the difference between Michelle and Paul's filming styles. Paul's segment: "So we're gonna pull this engine out" (4 seconds later) "so we pulled this engine out."

Nothing better than wrenching with family

It’s great to see family work together and rag each other. Thank you

200 K is when our transmission went south. I sold my truck at 350k and my brother in laws was still going at 600 k. When it was stolen. Maintenance is the name of the game. Everyone likes to rag on chevy’s but if taken Care of the run a long time. They are cheap to maintain too.

Paul when you have vehicles on your car lifts . Make sure to set the safety locks on your car lifts . First before you set the lift arms in the safety position .

Nice to see that both brothers have much care for their hands . Nice to see you all. Like!

After 23yrs of working in dealerships for Chevrolet on motors it's nice to watch others feel my pain and I don't have to do it anymore lol.

Ain't that a nice crew member with mullet and freedom shirt. Every shop needs one!

I’m not sure if it was edited out , but I know there had to have been a cooler/refrigerator of cold beer in that rebuild . You can’t do a motor/rebuild swap in the garage with the family without some cold snacks . Glad to see it brought back to life !!

I've pached my Chevys radiator before.... It turned out to be the same situation as your brother! I Cracked the heads 🤦🏼‍♂️ Tough lesson learned!

Dont forget the shocks, if you replace 1 you may as well do both, Or all 4.

The brothers will getter done! Bravo!!!

Firstly, that was not nearly enough broken exhaust manifold bolts, Secondly, great mullet, Thirdly, I did the same project without pulling the motor a couple years ago and my knuckles will never be the same😂 great job 👍

I sort of went backwards with all your videos after discovering the channel through the LJ20 rescue. Ive now seen about all of them and I’ve got to say the videography has come a long ways in a short time!

In my shop we call the hammer "The Fine Adjustment Tool" lol :)

WOW look how far y’all have come in 2 Years 😊😊😊!!!!!

I do love to see old trucks fixed up to run for another 200,000 miles! I dislike the disposable society. I live in downtown Tokyo so it's a completely different world than you guys, I drive a Subaru microvan, 2008 year model, the last year of the micro vans that you can fit a (Japanese sized) sheet of plywood or drywall into (3'x6'). I get it serviced twice a year and I hope to get another 10 years out of it, but when the motor dies, I will have it rebuilt with a little hot sauce added, no way I'm buying a new one, they keep getting worse and worse IMHO. I wish I had the space to work on my own van, I'm a qualified mechanic but I don't have the space to work on my own vehicles, remember, downtown Tokyo, LOL. A general contractor by trade. Cheers Stu

My lifter tick was a bad oring on the oil pickup tube. It caused low oil pressure on cold starts. I replaced that and so far so good. NOT looking forward to when it's time to refresh the engine... Good work !

Nice break from work. Keeps me sane watching other people work. Nice job Paul.

“1/4 of the time they’re working on stuff, 3/4 of the time they’re looking for stuff.”

Paul is one cool fella. Y'all are like family

That face pull is necessary another great video Paul 😉👍

So many old school shop paradigms, all so true. Especially making faces helping and closing your eyes while doing something by feel. Been fixing stuff 50 years now and do it all the time. Cheers.

I know this is an old video. But oh my heck the three brothers working together is so funny. Need to do more like this now 😂

I swear, even after I put on my speculators, and reviewed the footage, I was unable to see the cracks in the head. Maybe my eyeballs need an upgrade, or maybe a little editing to put in some arrows would help us old folks.

I'm about to that point with my '01 Suburban. 323,000 miles and it's starting to tick a little but the worst part is it's an 8.1 and I only have a cement slab to work on....YEE YEE!!

Another great FAB RATS video. The Boss Lady has a full time job keeping y'all in line.

I love Mrs Fab Rat's sense of humour (sorry, I don't know her name). She laughs in all the right places, and 'almost' forces a smile on Paul's brother's face - he looked like he had had enough of being on the wrong end of all the jokes after two long days of it. I'd say he got the deal of the century getting all that work done in exchange for the loan of a few concrete tools. Great video guys, and for what it is worth, this was the first video I clicked on when checking my KZfaq feed this morning (it's morning for us in New Zealand).

Another Nice video from Fab Rats, one of the highlights of my day!

Just helped a buddy do this to his. We went ahead and tossed in a mild cam, new oils pump and regasketed everything.

I’d try syncing the flux capacitor to the uplink motor ram and then torque the curling valve to meet specs. That’ll fix it. 😆

I've got to do something with my one truck too. I sent it to my place in Bulgaria thinking it would be a while before I had to deal with it because I only drive it a few months out of the year. But as soon as my in-laws learned why we love our trucks so much they have been using the hell out of it 😂 They're pretty much hooked now so I'll never have to hear about driving a truck again 😄 But the thing sounds like a old 7.3ford starting because of all the piston slap. I converted it to run on natural gas and it's brutal for the top end. Especially since it's been close to 200k miles.

I love the shop motto "if it don't work hit it with a hammer"

The love of brothers what we do for each other

What a cool crew. Wish I was closer, I'd bring my rig there. Thanks folks!

I have same problem 1/4 time working on stuff 3/4 time looking for your parts and tools 💨💨💨👍👍

The Boys getting it done...

..GOOD ONE, NICE JOB...STAY SAFE..

Paul is right: borrowed tools after a year become yours! 😉

reminds me of the great times rebuilding or changing a motor or trance AFTER WE WERE DONE

Who's House are they at? Yours I OWN THEM NOW! Great job IT'S ALIVE!

When I know someone is borrowing something from me I started taking a picture with my phone so I can go back and remember just who has it when I need it.

Great job by all concerned

“I need the safety so you don’t blow up thing” 😂 love the one-liners

Catching up on some of the older videos and as far as the concrete tools go possession is 9/10ths the law 😂😂😂😂😂

I will contest the face makes things work. My dad always said don't use force. Get a bigger hammer. Can't count how many motors I've pulled then put back in. Brothers always argue when working together. That's how things just work. God bless

Good thing you had benwah there to supervise! Keep up the good work.

Nice job ! Now you know how to remove the engine, should the oil cooler lines needs replacing ... Thanks for sharing !

James has a doppelganger. The aligator.

Good work, PAUL

You're the man of the job

I would have put it back together. You two could have made the world's first V-1...

Good job.

She right hammer 🔨 fix lot stuff 😂😂

I’m learning to ride a trials bike it’s all in the face you make.👍

However I didn't see you guys replace that water pump 🤔 that's another tough lesson learned

you boys are the richest people in utah. money aint what i mean when all friends and family are workin together on some badass rigs!

Lol, I liked the "fat man step". I need a "short girl step." I have to climb up and sit under the hood just to check the oil.

Ive had a few projects that wouldn't work without pulling "the face"... funny how that works.

Hello Paul and Crewe, another great video its amazing to see what you can do, as your mechanical background is brilliant. Me I am a Joiner so seeing what you turn out is excellent. Please keep the videos coming really enjoy watching. Best wishes Geoff Lewis, Wales, UK, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Paul how do you like the ORI shocks on the taco? I've been thinking about putting a set on my 96 dodge 1500

Next weekend we figure out how much air was taken to bend these do-hickey thingamajigs 😂👍

Only 10 mins to do an engine, you guys are beasts.lol

In 1978 I "borrowed" my Fathers 1964 Chevy Apache c20 4wd Truck to go 'wheelin' w/ my friends... after an uneventful day of 'wheelin' I decided to take a run at a hill that no one else had run... So I throw it into 4 wheel high and take a run at this glorious hill and get mad air at the top only to land in the crux of two hills SNAPPING the frame just behind the cab... SOooo after being pulled off of the second little hill that was just a smidge past the big hill that I landed in the middle of ... I limped the 1964 Apache c20 home w/ the broken frame dragging on the pavement every time I passed over the slightest dip in the road... only to be awakened by my father at 6am Monday morning wondering why was the truck coated in mud and why was the frame broken , since he parked it Saturday evening and had gone to a church revival all day Sunday with the Pastor of the church... Well to this day "I have No Idea" why I ran that hill that no one else tried to climb... Many Blessings , SMR

And now it sounds like a Kubota! just kiddin' Todd the retired trucker.

What's up

Did yall replace the shocks? Great clip!!

Hey Fabulous!, Fantastic!, 🐀's, actually when you check the cylinder heads!, you're supposed to say; duck!, duck!, duck!, goose!!!,😕😕 (goose not the broken one)!!!!!!👍👍😂😂😂😂😂

I'm not sure if it's a complement or a burn -- When it starts sounding like a Powerstroke.

What a crew ! What do you do with the left over parts ? lol

you might wan't to do a double check on the a arms if it bent the shocks it could have bent the too ,, i did oil lines in a 95 gmc jimmy not fun the face helps and a few words too much more easy with engine out ,, yes 2 months after new oil lines the engine let go ,, it was a tight fit ...

Just like family, don't know how many time I've borrowed MY pressure washer and trailer and mower from my son.

How hot did he get it. I would hate to think how many ls heads I have taken off and have never had a cracked set

Best Quote "Who's house are they at?...Yours....Then their mine!"

Yee yee 🤙

Sea foam woulda fixed it hahaha 😂

Now I know.

"The Face" is universal, I think girls in high school would purposely pop their film cans open so they could watch me repack their film for them.

Love your Fab Rat logo. Any T shirts available?

good video Paul. Sometimes while watching you and your friends together, I hear circus music...is it just me?

Why not replace the pistons and rings since you were that far in?

Hi

Sometimes it's just the oil pump.

What are the casting numbers on those heads so I know not to look twice at them

What Benchmade do you have in your pocket?

Hay, a B,F,H fix'es every thing, one way or the other.

Sounded like a powerstroke with 200k, so it was just getting broke in had at least another 200k. Still had one good cylinder, what a waste of money. Lol... And you know he is your brother when you have to borrow your own tools back...

Holy Crap, where is Hunter?? got motion sickness from this VLOG

Cool good job quickly done awesomeness, The problem with most people today is instead of fixing a truck like that ,they want to go out and spend 75k on a new one for $800 a month for 96 months then they can’t pay their mortgage, 😳😳😳🥵did you also do the rings and bearings when you were in there ? Or just heads

I just want to know if anybody knows anything about the rims that are on this truck. They look like an 8 lug version of the rims that come on a 2001 dodge ram 1500 off road package truck. I really want a set for my dodge so I can do a one ton swap without loosing the look. Please let me know if you have any idea what they came on or what company makes them.

See how red the kids face got when Paul asked how air much they took???

All that fighting with the oil cooler lines and all you needed to do was lower the left side of the front diff and throw them in the hole.

I wonder how much those new heads cost?

What's the update on the shock situation? lol

FAB RATS Social Club.

How is it a 8 year truck

Completely random question, do you have plumbing in your shop?

I know it's been said a hundred times.... Intake on the engine stand!!

The lifters always go bad on these, other than that you got a good truck.
