Today I got a call from my dad. It turned out that his truck with over 360K miles on it finally died on him. We got the Silverado towed to his house and now I am going to help him pull the tired 4.8L engine. Hopefully, we can tear it down to figure out what went wrong...

I like to show the struggles that most channels make look easier than they really are. I build our cars inside my garage with the limited tools I have available. I hope you still find my failures entertaining and have a great day!
