Just a girl with a truck raised like the son my dad never had. I've always done my own minor mechanic work and someone said hey you should start posting videos. So here goes nothing. Feel free to comment on the videos even if it's just to say hey. I love hearing from y'all and I'm always open to learning if you have input because I do not claim to be an expert by any means. Maybe something on here will help you out. If you like what you see please subscribe. Thanks for watching and see y'all in another video soon.
those little threaded rod spring compressors are good foe small light cars. Usually when I do heavy spring like this I take them to my nearest Big -O and they do them for like 20.00 each.
I've never cared for FedEx! Over the last 30 years I've always had issues with them. The last one were some antique car parts coming from Illinois all the way to California. They made it within 200 miles of my location and then ended up on the wrong trailer heading back to Chicago. I was tracking the package all along and called them daily seeing if they could intercept at the next stop and retrieve the package. They didn't care to. The parts went all the way pack to the shipper and needed to be shipped out again. Luckily for me they were not damaged. If I can, I use USPS.
FedEx is the worse they always overcharge. Worse customer service. I got a label from Amazon that support to cost 29.99 for their promotion “One rate” and a couple weeks later they charge my account with $123.83
Thanks so much I wasn't looking forward to guessing wich 1 to replace and I really don't want to let a shop take all my money. So thank you so much for explaining it.
Be sure to have a ball joint tool. We thought we could press the lower ball joint in with a socket but we couldn't. We ended up renting a tool. Otherwise wasn't too bad. Holding together so far... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-go741j2WSN4.htmlsi=ZPalt4I6kV72a8I_
Think I may have, a work around for this. Most cars, and trucks have only one OBD II port. What you do, is buy a pigtail, that gives to 2 ports. If anyone has tried this, Please comment.
SEND OAR HARBOR OR ANOTHER MAJOR CARRIER. I SHIPOED 600 POUNDS OF FLOORING FROM LA TO SOUTHERN OREGON SOME TIME AGO AND IT WAS 150 BUCKS.. NOW THAT W A S SOMETIME AGO, BUT YOU'ALL AUGHTA CHECK EM.
By the way, i HATE Fedex ! I had a delivery coming that i considered "valuable" and nobody was going to be home to receive it, and they will leave it at your door regardless, even if it requires a signature, they don't care. The website says you can have your package held at the nearest fedex place, you just gotta sign up. I signed up and you STILL can't do that option unless you pay for a monthly subscription. Total ripoff.
Good test! My 2007 worked great when new. AFM worked seamlessly. You literally could not tell when it was going from V8 to V4 and back unless you watched the display. But before its first oil change, it began sticking in V4 as you eased back into the gas. Gave sort of a vibration and lack of power. Push the gas a little more and it goes back to V8 and smooths out. I asked the service writer at the dealership while getting an annual inspection and he had no idea. Said maybe the intake needed cleaned out. Seriously???. That was in 2008. I continued to live with the unpleasantness for another 95,000 more miles as the truck is fine otherwise. I just did an 850 mile commuting fuel mileage average. It settled at 19.0 MPG, going down a tenth if I get into gridlock for a while then back to exactly 19 on my normal suburban 0-50 mph commute. Truck is a 2wd RCSB with 3.73 gears. So, I recently changed exhausts and the noise/vibration felt much worse so I got the Range AFM disabler. After one day of commuting in V8 only, the drive is far more pleasant and average mileage has not budged from 19.0 yet. I expected SOME loss of MPG but it appears that any change will not be dramatic. I'll reset the average mpg tomorrow and should immediately see the impact of the AFM delete on MPG if there is any. As far as long term reliability, obviously I can't say but it really felt like the engine was fighting itself before. After disabling AFM, it feels like it is working properly.
Good to know. Thanks I will try that. They have lived together with my worms all summer. Seems like they might actually help the worms by breaking down the big stuff i put in. Sent some to the neighbor's chickens. They loved them.
Mam, I was curious to how the installation of your TRQ front suspension parts went. I am updating an 02 Avalanche that I bought used with 20K miles on it and it now has 260,000 miles on it. It runs fine with original just about everything, except water pump, starter, generator, drive shaft and several sets of brakes. Also gone through two fuel pumps. The front end has some real wear on it and I have been researching what to replace it with. I have looked at Moog, Mesoteck, and Kryptonite. I have seen some bad reviews on TRQ and wanted to see a part 2 on how this went for you. I don't like not being able to grease the parts tho. Some videos indicate that you can drill a hole and insert a Zerk fitting for just that. Are you considering doing that on the fittings that don't have the grease fitting? The Moog parts run about 1200$, and the Kryptonite about 2K (with a 8 week or longer wait time). I guess some folks are more patient than me. The price on your kit only costs about 350$, sounds too good to be true.
I haven't had the chance to install them yet. I have been putting in too many hours at work lately. Hopefully soon though and I will post again. I am worried about the quality too because of the price but I figured I would take a chance since it was so much cheaper.
