Appreciate you doing these. People dont realize how much work goes into filming and editing until they do it. Keep doing what you do.
Awesome to hear that you enjoy the videos Derek and thanks so much for the support!
That's why I subscribed I do projects myself and put them up on my channel and I definitely realize how hard it is to keep the energy and flow never know maybe work on something together in the future. Maybe get you into fishing lol
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow It looks to me like smaller cars like your jeep could maneuver around Jenny's shed, but you were trying to store fullsize cars or trucks, so then it was in the way.
As a disabled veteran, who is thank you for your patriotism, God bless
it may not be your norm but like a lot of other people in the comments here, I think that old Suburban is a diamond in the rough and deserves some sprucing up. 🤙
Chris I loved it when you said to Jen “Full Strokes Baby” lol 😂 I was dying laughing great job on the maintenance repairs on the Chevy burb
Thank you for saying what you did about the flag and the men and women who gave their life for all of us Retired US Army Sargent Major Gamsby
The Chevy Suburban was a dream car for me over a while. Finally we ended up with a Toyota HJ 60 4liter Diesel, made in 89. Great Car, just like made forever, but the Chevy has still the charming, the smell of never ending sunken roads. A fine piece of machinery and easy to maintain and fix
I love the idea of you keeping it and using it for your far away "will it runs" and what not. Who cares what it looks like, she's strong and reliable with a ton of cargo space! I'm also super pumped for you that you got a sponsor from @Peakauto You deserve it Chris!
Those suburbans really are nice rigs...Love to see you paint it all black.
Gus is the coolest dog ever ,thanks for sharing.
A late friend once had a Chevy Suburban back in the 70's. It was real reliable. Thanks for posting another great video! Mike in Oregon
One thing I do notice about you you have a tool for every job you do not have to go hunting you do not have to go and buy a tool. You have a tool and to me that’s amazing.
For me the difficulty is finding the tool. I often have to go out and buy another tool I know I already have because I can't find it.
Rear air, barn yard doors, similar to the truck I learned to drive on. My Dad had an '83 2500 Suburban with the 6.2 diesel, gutless but torquey motor, loved that truck. I love the square body chevys, NGL I'm kinda jealous!
@32:15 The " Bull" dog is barking at the Torino because it's red !....LOL
New video!!!! I wrench all day and then go home and check your channel for a new video. I apply a lot of this to work everyday and I even surprise myself with the things I know from watching you. Thanks man.
Chris, I just got to say how much I enjoyed the videos, you put out, on going to Nevada, for the Suburban....Then driving it home! You say it was a vacation, but I'm sure it was work. You guys put out some of the best content, and I very much appreciate it. I'll be watching you, and Jen on your videos to come. Be careful, and thanks you guys. Gus, also is a great dog.
Funny to see you using Mahle parts, for their warehouse in Memphis TN my mate flew out from Germany to install the logistics IT sytems... Great job, straight to the point, no fussing around, loved the side views of your area! 👍👍👍
The KZhead has Definitely shown me just how Great the Old Iron Lives on along the Western Side of our Beautiful Country. Thank You to all the Service Members, Former Active and Future. Especially to Those Brave Men and Woman that Paid the Ultimate Price and Gave their Life for Our Freedom, Don’t Waste it or Give it Away!. God Bless Our Men and Woman Serving and May God Bless America 🇺🇸. I’ll catch you on the next one, Keep it Safe Out There Sir
Thank you Chris, for recognizing the true meaning of Memorial Day - to remember those Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines who died in defense of our great Country. It's not Veteran's Day, that's in November - it's MEMORIAL Day.
Those flags were meant to be flown every day 🤘🤘🤘🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
>Have you seen a Chevy frame this clean? Yes. I live in the desert, very common.
This truck is what got me hooked on the channel. Don’t get rid of it. I have a 99 but I love the older ones so much.
Mechanic here. I Completely agree using a light smear of sealer. Love your work Chris.
Great video! I was given a 1990 Chevy Suburban 350, 4x4 that was sitting for 8 years in the PNW. The rear intake is leaking oil and valve covers, so I will be doing this exact thing. Videos like this save people like me and many others so much time and money, and give us the ability to pass the info on to others.
PNW?

Ha!..Summer's Here..down in the RGV (guess?)

USA. Thank you for the tribute at the end and keep up the great videos.
Good to see Gus having a great day !
Like the channel and you guys are just down to earth people. Like this truck.
36 seconds into the video made my day you said paint job ! Thank you ! All great cars deserve too be taken care of inside and out !
Aaaans that is now the fourth video I got stuck on. You just have to love the Gran Torino and the Suburban ! Please continue working on the suburban, I love those square boxy type of cars. We never got them here in Germany, once or twice a year I get to see a caddy cruising through Frankfurt and it it just a sight to behold. Cars you can work on easily, just gotta love them! Keep up your good work, Greetings from Frankfurt Germany
That's AWESOME that Peak sponsored you!! Really nice. I totally agree about not flushing a system, if you need to do a drain and swap due to time or mileage, just drain your rad and engine, whatever comes out comes out, fill it back up and call it good. Same for the sludge.. that's important stuff (the engine needs that weight to stay in there!!)
It is really nice to see the time and care that Chris Gus’s and Jen put into this channel and into these vehicles. Chris makes it look easy and you can tell that only a person who truly has a passion for mechanics can do what Chris does. Thank you for the videos and for the channel.
24:19 “full strokes” 😂 Jen delivered to the floor!
Great video and congrats on getting a sponsorship.
Totally agree with the "leave the sediment alone", I've seen new leaks that started after a deep clean.
Great video Chris can't wait to see you new shop. God bless the USA and all those who are and who have given their lives for us.
Great idea to load it up with all your gear, and ship it to your chosen destination. At least you will have all the tools you need.😀👍
Thanks for the video. The suburban is a keeper for sure; she needs some sprucing up to make her “boulevard ready.” This thing would make a great cruiser/camper.
Great video. The old suburbans are my dream trucks. You should definitely make that your travel vehicle. They just cruise and have so much room.
Well YT/google has hooked me up with another cool channel. Binge watching NNKH with many video episodes I like to watch. Compliments to your content and editing skills.
No helmet law , man you’re making me fall in love with PA. The rust tho….i have a 04 suburban and I love it, it isn’t my first either. It’s just hard to beat for me. 250+ miles and still runs strong. As a USMC veteran I appreciate you and all Americans with the same mindset as you. Thanks Chris.
Love you and Jen in the videos but we all know Gus is the star of the show, lol. Keep up the great content! I love the concept of the ship and fly. I think it might cost more than you expect but if it isn't that is a great idea!
Highly enjoyable! Timely maintenance is never overrated over here.
We grew up with our vehicles being rusted out by all the road salt, so its normal to see it. I'm the same way, its so weird and fascinating to see a clean rust free old body/frame. The warmer places just seem to have it so easy with their old vehicles.
Helped a friend from arizona change a transmission on a pathfinder a few years ago. So weird working on something with no rust.
guy was giving me noise over jury rigging stuff on vehicles and how its gonna run the vehicle into the ground and ruin it for the next person... i replied and said i bet youre from texas arizona or nevada and he said im in pheonix... there is no next person in the northeast.. the rustwill get it before anything else does no matter how much gunk you spray on it
Stupid cities and councils put salt on the roads in the states that have snow etc and the cars last no more than 2 years, its stupid.
@@jasonswift7098they last a little more than Two Years, but I get it. That is One Plus of all the Vehicles being Produced with Injection Mold Fcking Plastic
I grew up back east in Connecticut. Cars and trucks would rust out in 5 to 7 years!! The years were 1970-1984.
When I use to do heavy mechanic work when flushing radiators we used cascade worked great even running through the engine
That spray painting had me thinking this channel was becoming too classy for me!
God Bless You for remembering our fallen troops. Have a great holiday weekend. My wife and I bought a 1977 Chev. Suburban brand new and had it for many years. I think of all our friends, we were the first to have an SUV. Great vehicle. I'd love to have yours and do it the rest of the way.
i love the mid 70's cars...yes i stayed till the end :)
So much better than Emma 1 looks so good ,a paintjob would be awesome 🎉 but still it's awesome
Believe it or not out here in Kentucky you can buy those Burbans rust free for $2,000 to $3,000 all day long . Love what you did with this one
Chris, you make that intake job and exhaust repair look so easy!! Yes, those desert vehicles are really better to find than a northern or snow belt vehicle.
Man I wish I could still bend my knees like that an do work on the ground when I need to. Looking forward to seeing the new shop. Always love the Gus cameo’s too.
Thanks guys!! I always feel better seeing chris, jen and Gus man!!…you guys rock…thanks for your efforts!
Beautiful Burban. miss my '86, '88 that i had. If i could, i would buy it in a second.
I love the Starsky and Hutch Torino Chris! lol 😂I’m with you brother, God Bless America and our fallen heroes! Amen 🙏🏻
My favorite KZhead celebrity! Love all the content man! Always learning more and more from watching you work on your projects!
That truck is a gem indeed. Thanks for the shout out to those who sacrificed all.
Another awesome vlog guys!!! Don't you just love it when your puppy enjoys a good 'stink spa' and comes over for an approval!! lol
God Bless America - thank you🙏
I love EVERY SINGLE VIDEO YOU MAKE
Enjoying your videos - new subscriber here. As one that once lived in the Midwest - I'd toss out the idea of soaking the belly of that baby in either Fluid Film or Wool Wax - Wool Wax doesn't smell as strong - but either do an amazing job of keeping the rust away - and it washes off. I use to treat my rigs twice a year - it makes the bottom slimy and dirty = but not rusty! You can't use it on the newer GM with the soft/wax coat frames - but this Suburban is perfect.
She seems to ride so smooth on the highway like butter. I,personally would keep this gem of a car . But hey ho,aint my car,aint my video. Good luck Chris,Jen,Turbo & Gus. Thanks for supplying me with free factual TV .
Oopsy from comments b4😢🎉. I thought had a 454 big motor??? Naughty me, now you say it's a 350 motor in Chevy suburban! But that's still a surprise 😅😊 Doing 18 mpg , that's DAMN CRAZY 🤪 GUY! Keep doing updates on Chevy traveling suburban 😅😊😊! Great work buddy A++!!!!
You said that suburban needs a paint job I Agee 100% I enjoy watching your channel and other KZhead videos and so many keep overdoing that cop-out patina I would love seeing you have that much needed suburban get a much needed paint job .that poor poor little thing it was os proud to be built in 1987 it went up and down the streets, roads hiways and interstates like a proud little marine. So please paint that suburban and gus would be proud to know the three of you have a wonderful vehicle. So if nothing else do it for gus that handsome little man
You will never go wrong using the right stuff sealant.
I live 30 miles Northeast of Pittsburgh, the true Rust Belt! The old square bodies look good and are protected by applying bed liner all along the bottom of the body and up around the wheel wells. The right color combinations are sharp! Eddie
I could have a not so good day....but Gus makes me smile 😍
That ambulance would make a cool motor home. 🎉
Nice to see Emma 2.0 getting the love.
Another trip down memory lane thank you for sharing this six stars
I helped my buddy to move his rotting tool shed. We used PVC pipes with 4x4 stud inside of them. We used 5 of them like the Egyptians. Even as some parts of the floor caved in, we moved it catty corner.
Chris dug the update on Emma 2.0 enjoyed it a great deal and the Torino is looking awesome! I DIG 70S CARS ! Since that was what I could buy and were plenty when I was younger! I think Emma 2.0 Being a clean rust free Sqarebody Suburban is at least worth 5 to 6 K. I wouldn't sell it for anything less. I watch Daltons channel also and if anything you could send it to him or use it as your tool rig. Either way I enjoy your channel its one of the ones I watch regularly. I hope to see a Fury update soon! Got my flag flying proudly! Enjoy the Memorial Day weekend and cruise that sweet Torino as Much as you can!
Dude , that thing is definitely worth a cheap paint job ,carpet and some seat covers 😎
Hi, Jen, Chris, and Gus. At the end of your videos, you might tell us viewers, "This video was a "Gus Production." I can't wait to see Jan taking the truck to Home Depot. Her car would appreciate that kind act of mercy.
Simply love that Ford Torino Elite! Gorgeous and rare cars!! Just as much for the Suburban. With how Clean and rust-free it is, You'd be silly not to be asking $8,000 or more for it. I'd say Buff, and polish it. Slap some Patina sauce on it and new side body molding.
Dang! That’s one clean suburban underneath.
Chris, this Burb is a gem! I personally think it should be at the top of your Keep list. A crossover with Dalton to get it shining is a great idea. As it is, I would want at least $5000, after the deep detailing maybe $10k! If it doesn’t sell, who cares?! 😊
Absoulutly god bless america!!
7:11 my wife is an automotive spray painter and she says the same thing, its all in the prep
Отличное видео! Не мог оторваться от просмотра! Старые американские автомобили - это просто шедевр! Жаль, что не могу себе позволить такой Сабурбан у себя в России
A masterpiece 💯
I love that Gus gets to go so many places. I am the same way with mine. Good to see another video man!
💯 agreed on the coolant flush. Easiest way to cause problems when you don’t have them
Love the Africa Twin!
I always enjoy your videos,I can't wait from one video to the next. As a veteran I appreciate you flying the flag❤
love the Gus man.
i love your vids when ever i am bored I watch your vids because they are so educational anyways thx for the awesome content
I was watching a YT video from Quantum Tech HD where they pull a WWII tank from a river and try to get it to run and immediately thought of NNKH.
I think that ambulance would make a great mechanic's rig. Organize it right and you could still have room for a cot.
Love the outro music, Chris!
Chris you are the man. God bless you brother, you're such a talented guy.
That E bike you have is amazing! Like a Timex😀
Mid seventies cars had the best bodies! 60's too. I'm 60 myself! Eddie
I love the rims on the suburban.
Yeah they do look pretty Sharp! Could use a buff and shine. You should buy this thing off me. Could totally see you and Tiff cruising around in it with a nice paint job looking all shiny.
You should give her a paint job yourself. I rattle canned a 93 dodge caravan and had a blast!
The Torino is a Classic and a Fine Example of One
At 23:57 I suddenly remember to hit the "like" icon. 🙂
Absolutely love the old Burbans, brings back alot of memories, you did a great job on flushing and cleaning everything out. I'm big on maintenance and I would have done the exact same thing and start fresh. That truck is an absolute dimond and if I were you I would be keeping that one only cause when are you ever going to find another one that clean and free of rust like that.. Just my opinion, this one has me thinking of going to the bank tuesday and sending you some cash cause I'm in love and already have ideas of what I would do with it.. clean truck, you did the right thing with changing all fluids.. great video, much respect chris, happy memorial day and thank you for all you do brother!!
Keep it! Will bring money and more videos in.
Fellow southeastern pa guy here and the weather has been beautiful. Lucky we haven’t had much rain with all your stuff outside
Awesome day in the life video..great to see the suburban again and she getting the maintenance that's much deserved. Great content as always and looking forward to seeing your next adventure 😊😎🛠️🇺🇸😇
The body is in such great shape...possible collab with another KZheadr who specializes in body work/paint? EmmaDeuce deserves a pro body/paint resto! Also, FLUIDFILM THAT CHASSIS :D
Fun fact, coolant/antifreeze stops the buildup of all that rust and raises/lowers the boiling point/freezing point.
Your-the-man-auto-man!!
