In this video we help a customer that wants his Chevy Trailblazer to live to die another day. He was driving down the road when he started noticing a really bad vibration. No worries though it's just the rear end ready to fall out 😁

A couple of vids back there were a lot of comments about used parts. This one hits me at the same spot. Especially in today's times, there are a lot of people just barely treading water. Yes, the truck needed much more than this. But until the frame gets a lot worse, this will get them to their job and that is critical when buying another vehicle is not possible. No, I'm not in favor of death traps on the same roads as me. But sometimes you just have to fix the things that would have you walking.

Good video!! I had an Explorer that was rusted up in the frame like this Chevy. I had to repair it on the cheap. Leaf springs shackles all gone with rust. I always wondered why they did not make the parts to handle rust better, then as I got older I learned why, they do not want the vehicles to last beyond a few years so you have to get a new vehicle. What a shame for customers, hope yours last a while. My grandfather sprayed all his used motor oil all over the underbelly of his cars, they lasted for decades and rust was never an issue.

Last year we probably got somewhere around 50+ feet of snow and somewhere around 5 BILLION potholes. Two windshield replacements from the cinders... ie .22 caliber laser guided rocks that always cause more than 3/4" of damage 💔. Luckily no salt for the most part here in the 4 corners area.

Mrs O is definitely the star of the show. We tune in to Mr O with the hopes of seeing her.

Mrs. O is the best! Sometimes you both bring comedy relief to the video. I don't think I'd wanna drive that vehicle. Good one Mr. O!

Oh my…..RUST. That thing must be leaving a breadcrumb trail behind every time it hits the road. Great camera work! Keep up the excellent production.😮😊

Even when they argue, It's cute and controlled. Like arm wrestling, instead of a Shouting Match. What a man wouldn't give to have a better half that well mannered and understanding.

Mrs O with a great quote. Plenty of nice days left they’ll just be colder.

You just gotta love the piles of rust you dig out of the frame. Mr's O deserves a little extra in her pay envelope for her superb camera work! You made me chuckle with your nervousness at being filmed, lol

What is even more amazing.... They've been married all this time and she still has the ability to make Eric O. act like an awkward teen.
