I spend more time watching your videos than I do TV (sometimes I go down the SMA rabbit hole and stay there for hours). Videos are not just educational but also entertaining and I learn a lot. You're a great teacher and fun to spend time with. Thanks for the effort you put in to these videos , you are great. Thanks.

Nice work! Love the attention to details in your work. Thanks for your videos!

Thanks for taking us along on the 3-parter.

Thanks my friend. I really enjoyed this 3 part series. I learn something new on every one of your videos

This series is right up there with the Sopranos! Loved it. Well done, O!!!

A relaxing change from the brake and wiring jobs. Thanks.

Great job, Eric! Looks easy when you do it 🙂

I really enjoyed watching this swap out. Good job explaining steps, tips and being entertaining all the while.

Thanks again for helping me get through another day of work

Good video. Thank you for another lesson. Your ethical standards are admirable.

What a nice job Eric enjoyed the hole series 🛠🔧👍🇺🇸

I glad you can do it , because I couldn’t!!! Great job !!

Another winner! Thanks for the ride.

Awesome commentary, the car show was over the top.

Nice job Eric, but what else is new. It was cool to see this being done, thank God I will never have to do all that work. You always make things look easy, even when it was a hello of a lot of work. Thanks🤓🔧

I’ve learned so much from this guy. Keep these videos coming. Thanks Eric.

I'm tired but I had to watch this great video form SMA! Thanks for sharing! Just finished installing two new front struts on my granddaughters 2005 Chevy Equinox. Sitting on the ground for a 75 year old man with a bad back is wonderful!

Great video Eric thank you for your time and all the efforts you put into these videos. Your truly a master in the trade

Hey Eric, I love your videos, watch them all the time. Think you’re great!! For me, I don’t know about others it would be helpful to see a test ride before and after fix , to hear or help diagnose issues you find with vehicles. Thanks a lot… Cheryl

greetings from the peoples republic of pennsylvania ,,enjoying another sma vid !!!!!

Got nothing to complain about here-enjoyed the 3 part video. Thanks!

Oetiker clamp pliers, in case anyone was curious, is what was used on the CV axle boot. Knipex makes two different versions and they’re excellent. I often use Oetiker clamps for high vibration applications (race car plumbing).

Good job, love your content, this coming from a retired Military contractor mechanic. It's more fun watching you do it. Keep up the good work.

"That's going to drive someone nuts right there. I put the bolts in different then the factory." - You animal!!

Mr O yeah you made me chuckle when you put the cross member bolts in different then the factory did cuz I did the same thing when I put mine back in thanks for all your videos and advice

so nice being able to do the transfer case standing up... I did it on the ground... not ideal... always entertaining Mr "O"

Love the videos! That truck is also a look at how well fluid film works, i have an 07 tundra, the frame is almost completely rust free, i started using it after watching Eric bring his tundra in. Thank you sir!

I liked the way you checked and adjusted the spacing between the torque converter and the flex plate. Important to get full engagement with the pump and the converter.

I just love to see how darn clean that 07 Sierra is.

Thank you for another great series. Appreciate it

Loved this series of videos.

A job so well done. Thank you so much for your videos, if watched every single one for years now. I wished you were closer to Texas but grateful for recording your work. I own a 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500 pickup (daily driver) with 431,700 miles. It's got a 4.8 engine in it plus it is a Canadian model. It is truly best truck I've ever owned. All original engine still. CHEVY THUNDER for sure.

That's good to hear ol Jaspar gear is holding up well E. I remember way back geesh over 20 years ago now I had a couple of self employed buddies such as yourself that had a bad run of bad luck with Jaspar. Glad to hear they produce quality now.

H.J.J. hit the nail on the head with 3 Ugga-daggas. Informative and entertaining. What more could you want from the UTube? More Eric, that's what! Many thanks and keep Mrs. O happy.

Love your comedy show LOL. I used to have to pull my transfer case on a J-10 Jeep pickup quite often to put chains in on the quadratrac. Climb a hill turn the steering tight to the left and boom there it is slipping again.

Eric, Great series - thank you! SMA#1 Paul (in MA)

Thanks for a great video series. I have a 2010 Silverado LT 4-wheel drive with a 4L60e tranny that is on its way out. Very informative.

So I’m leaving a comment cause you asked so nicely Mr. O. Excellent three-parter my man. Looking forward to an engine rebuild series whenever you have the opportunity. BTW-I bought a South Main Auto hoodie from your store and the graphic on the back only lasted a couple of wash cycles. Too bad because it’s a really cool design. Still keeps me warm though. Anyway thanks for all of the entertaining videos!

Always enjoy your videos

Well done Eric!

I've changed three Chevy trans in my life, all with 2x12's and a couple of floor jacks. I prefer your method! Nice work Mr. O.

Jasper products were the go to replacements when I worked at the airport in ground maintenance. The many engines and transmissions I replaced in ground equipment always worked the first time. They test every piece before shipping. The only thing they changed was going from green to grey paint on their products...

Great job! I had an issue on a 2500 Chevy Silverado not long after I bought it. After coming off the interstate it acted as if the brakes were still on. Into the dealer and in 3 days got a new transmission. Only thing they screwed up was the shifter for the 4 wheel drive, i guess they forgot to hook it back up.

good job. keep it up. all your vids are learned lessons for me.

You did a very good job, with a difficult repair.

Thanks for very informative video. I hope that vehicle has many good years left.

great job as always

For 205000 miles that thing is beautiful underneath. Well taking care of. Nice job Mr O

Most excellent adventure! As usual

Wow. What a job!

Are you kidding? What a helluva job! I wouldn't even think about thinking about doing that, lol! Even though I'm thinking about rebuilding the engine in my Seabring, hopefully before the (internal) water pump seizes and blows up the whole motor, lol. Good stuff Buddy.

thanks for the lessons Eric

Eric I enjoyed this 3 parter I had popcorn 🍿 while watching 👀 you and I like once in awhile MRS. O stopping by to make sure your doing things right... LOL ... Great Job buddy that trans should last another 250K ... I will keep watching 👀 your show your pretty COOL 😎 buddy... Your friend Bob and I'm glad I found your channel... REMEMBER IF I CAN DO IT YOU CAN TOO... Stay cool 😎 and safe Eric... ✌️🤟

That's a bear of a job. Very detailed. Great job. Bob's your uncle.

Nice Eric Thanks for the video!!

Another good job! Well done fella!

My 1998 Ford Explorer, from day-one, never down-shifted correctly at speed when trying to pass or enter highway traffic. At 40K miles she started shuttering and my local mechanic recommended a rebuilt Jaspar tranny. That tranny was better than the new one the vehicle came with, and lasted 200K miles before the vehicle was totaled in an accident. Jaspar is quality and better than new in most cases, as they apply updates that may not have existed in the original. I wanted to visit Jaspar in Indiana when we were at the Indy 500 this year, but it didn’t happen. Another great video series Eric O. BTW, you and Mrs. O are quite the archers 😊

Great help. Much appreciated!

Good job boss, ball busting job, I'm sure you edited it to keep it smooth going, looks to me, not much space forgetting your hands up and around the job. wow

If I can do it.....ummm no not even close to a you can do it for me. Your ability is always impressive Mr. O!

Congratulations to the owner for being consistent with the fluid film treatment. It's great to watch a video that doesn't have PRNY crust falling everywhere.🙂

Excellent job and entertaining! Very informative and helpful. New sub here

Another shifty SMA video .....Eric gets us in gear and keeps us driving forward nice repair bud.🇨🇦😎👍

Hey Eric! Some milkman took over your channel and made a series about swapping a 4l60e! Hope this gets through to the real you. (Good work as always, thank you for the awesome content! 😁 You're an inspiration)

I'm done!!!! Reversed clamps??!!!! I might never sleep again, thanks Eric..

Ever since I worked on my moms Dakota and saw how the bolts run in opposite directions I started doing that, I haven’t upset anyone yet and plus I think it’s cool.

Thanks for the video and using air tools.

That's gotta be the cleanest underside of a Truck I've ever seen..

I know the bell and phone ringing means money but I swear every time Eric is working. Nice.

hi, Mr. O. Man, I am glad that's over. Transmission replacements are the pits. I hope you are using ear protectors. I know I would. But I guess Mrs. O. Keeps you in line. After that job, you deserve a break. Take care my man. Anyway, thanks for sharing! Stay healthy!

Always fun to watch your work. I live in the crunchy midwest..97 blazer with 450k. I’m waiting to come to a quick stop and the body flies off the frame. Main parts have been changed for so long I get them for free because of the lifetime warranty.

Eric, we had to replace our garage van 4L 80E for typical lock up Convertor problems “slippage” very common “failure” with 108K on the clock . I bought from my local GM store for $ 3,500.00 with convertor ! 2009 Savanna Van! This failure is still happening in 2017 2& 4 wheel trucks ! 3 yr. Warranty makes me feel a little better ! No bull if a problem comes up ! If so , take to any GM dealer, they don’t try to fix in house,,,full free replacement ( in writing ) Still should not fail with low K’s,, & not cheap ! Good vid Eric,,as usual !

I liked the content.. I realize doing the bigger jobs kind of a pain in the film and everything but sometimes I like watching the bigger jobs too even if it’s a several part series

Valvoline makes the fluid that goes in those transfer cases in the aftermarket. I know because my 07 Ram has the automatic transfer case in it. That's the fluid the Dodge dealer got me for my truck. It said compatible with GM autotrac on it. I have used Jasper Products also with good results. I got to tour their two facility's in Indiana. They flew five of us down there in their own plane. gave us the tour, fed us breakfast and lunch. Very impressive place.

Eric I love your videos and have watched them multiple times. On this particular series of videos, I wish you had described the reasons/problems with this transmission and need for replacement. Kind Regards, Craig

Eric I bet very few, there are some, would go to the trouble to make sure the correct fluid, all the plastic clips, every bracket is tightened, all the little things that are a pain in the rear end to do are completed. The folks around Avoca are, or should be honored to have you in their midst!! AND that truck should be a fluid film commercial, my gawd that thing looked like it was from Arizona. That is remarkable. Marion.

A couple of years ago my '05 F150 4x4 with 4.6 kt engine & 247k miles decided to retire. Repair estimate was $2800. As I was a salt/rust belter at the time I decided that the repair was too much as the body would not have lived long enough to enjoy the rebuilt engine. Never thought of the Jasper route. Great video series. I don't know why you mention "trust" issues. None of your videos has ever caused that concern. Roll on Sir.

Thank you for clarifying what the Z71 package included for options. I've been wondering about that for years. Add a sticker on the rear quarter panels and a couple skid plates then jack up the price of the truck. Perfect!

Also the Shock absorbers, that year probably has Rancho "off-road" shocks and the previous pickup had Bilstein shocks. Back in the day I upgraded my 1993 to take-off Bilsteins, they gave a softer smoother ride on the Oklahoma roads. I don't have anything to compare on my 2010 Silverado, but it came with the Rancho shocks and it rides real nice.

Really enjoy your videos Eric. I've been treating my Colorado ZR2 with Fluid Film since I bought it in 2018, living in the snow belt, hopefully the underside looks like that at 200k! Best wishes to you, Mrs. O, and the kids. Hope you tag a monster buck this season!

I really enjoyed this transmission Mr O. Nothing shifty, and it was geared for the mechanic and pretend mechanic alike. Having you transfer you knowledge is always the case, but you have to be careful to not get the shaft with your drive for knowledge.

You make it look sooo easy
