Who's your favorite YT gearhead personality???

Vice Grip Garage is good , but I think he's gotten too famous at this point.

I do like watching Diesel Creek (started watching the church videos when he got that) , Watch Wes Work, SMA, Matt's offroad recovery and probably some more I'm forgetting.
 
Rainman Ray's Repairs
South Main Auto
Pine Hollow Diagnostics
FordTechMakuloco
ScannerDanner
Diagnosis Dan
Chris Fix
Samcrac
Rich Rebuilds
Goonzquad

That list is in order of importance of what I subscribe too. Rainman Ray's Repair is on top because of the absolute shear volume of content he puts out which is pretty much one a day if not two on some days. South Main Auto is probably the most technical accurate content for general mechanic and diagnosis work.

Goonzquad is on the fence of being deleted. I have followed them early on when they were doing their Jeep builds on their parents house concrete pad driveway out in the weather with just almost nothing in but basic cheap tools. Nowadays they have little relevance to me and their current content.

Chris Fix hangs on my subscribe list more for nostalgia rather than bleeding edge content but is still entertaining most times.
 
The ones I never miss:

Cold War Motors from Alberta
Strong's Garage. Fairly new and features a couple of guys seen on Cold war motors)
Jonathan W. Built a pile of rat rods and saved all sorts of different vehicles. He's been off on a big steam engine kick for some time.
Watch Wes Work. Not a gear head but an amazing high level pro mechanic with a public shop. Everything from Semi's to Toyota's to military trucks.

Now and then:

Mortske Repair
Restored
Vice Grip Garage
Chris Fix
Tyler's Forgotten Car Rescue (for old times' sake).
Junkyard Digs
 
No one has mentioned Robot Cantina. It's interesting as he makes it work, but all the time you are wondering who really needs this.
Last season was a 420cc Harbor Freight engine in a Honda Insight.
This season he's messing around with some drive by wire "upgrades" of an old Saturn 1.9L engine.

New episodes drop on Sunday morning and are about 30 minutes long.
I think that would be all I'd add to the list of others mentioned above.

A few dropped off recently, I dont want to hear your political views. western truck sometimes rants but I can hear his life justifications so its tolerable.
 
Robot from Scooter West. But it’s only scooters.
There are a handful of great mechanic channels, but an unlimited number of laughably useless posters with dangerous practices, horrible camera quality, terrible background noise from the other room, never ending swearing, animals and kids running through the room, stream of consciousness nonsense, no logical progression, and who often never even deliver on the title of the video. Some of these are pure gold. From a comedy standpoint.
 
Zombie resurrection thread, but thats okay with me!

"Howdy Viewers, Welcome to the South Main Auto Channel."

Eric O and his wife, Vanessa. Awesome family, and he is one heck of a mechanic. Production quality really good also. I have learned a lot from him. His troubleshooting prowess is amazing. He does it right. Very methodical.

the only thing saturn in that insight is the transmission. the engine is a Kubota 3cyl Diesel usually found in boats, or refrigerated trailers.
 
I don't watch a lot of the YouTube car channels, but one that I like is Dragtimes, the host (Brooks) does a great job of having interesting content, cool races, and is not annoying like 75% of the YT personalities.

Before that, when he was messing with the Saturn (the donor car???) he did some DBW stuff to the Saturn IIRC.

There have been several cars with strange engines.

And yes, he's working on some DBW adjustments to the "stupidcharger" boost and the mechanical injector pump on the Kubota Diesel as of this writing.

I think my prior comment you quoted is 6 months to a year or more old IIRC.
