Thanks for sharing your experience. I have this work ahead of me on my silverado and had decided to use the flange method. You have changed my mind. What sort of safety measures do you use concerning the fuel tank? You mentioned the filler neck briefly and I was hoping you would talk more about that.
This truck is a diesel so I didn’t really have a concern about explosion. But for welding near gasoline tanks I will tape off the filler with duct tape. Anytime you need to weld in the area of a gas tank you are taking a risk. Keep a keen nose for fumes is my best advice. You can also rig up welding blankets to shield the tank area
it turned out beautiful ! my 2001 chevy suburban 23 yrs old only needs both front fenders lower patch panels if i had the tools and experience i would do it myself
In the 03 to 06 models you do have to remove the door panel.....this part is screwed into the inner door panel. I mean you can break it with a screw driver and pry it out. Ask me how I know.
Idk. I’m lost right now too. No matter how hard I try I can’t get the marks perfect. I hop one tooth and it’s too low on the left, and go back a tooth and it’s too low on the right. It’s just slightly off and I don’t know why.
@@ChrisC1946 that’s what I was thinking. Bike has sat for 14 years because of this same thing. Gonna order a new chain and tensioner and hope for the best! I appreciate it
Thanks for the close up of the spring. Never I have seen one before like that and it was kicking my ass. My guess is its to help the float not drop too far down in the bowl and get hung up
Thank you so much for this. I know you put it out a few years ago but it really helped. 2 of my flat washers have cracks, not the lipped ones but the completely flat ones. I can't seem to find a part number for them so may just have to buy generic.
That shit just happened to me. I used wetonwet epoxy primer and it didnt cure properly after adequate time. Now I know not to "fix" 120 scratches using primer as this shit ruined my whole paintjob. Would you recommend anything that doesnt shrink for the scratches? Does the high build filler work well?
Anybody do panel bond on complete rockers instead of welding and leave the screws in and grind the heads down just a little? I don't weld and it's my own vehicle so don't need it to look perfect when I sell it or junk it after 4 or 5 more winters of salt on the chassis.
Just found I experuenced tve same exact issue. The regulators (all 4) have rhe same design as thhe Iwata regulator that gave you problems. I did a sinilar test just using a manifold and gauge hooked to each gun and found the Lematec showed a 7+ psi drop vs the manifold. With the manifold and wall regulator only, the pressure raised and fan improved tremendously! Im throwing them in the trash today!
Thank you for showing the proper installation of the spring on the float pivot pin. I've cleaned a number of mower and snow blower carburetors over the years but today was the first time I've ever seen that spring. Before he moved, my neighbor gave me a Toro CCR Powerlite snowblower that been sitting a couple years with gasoline in the fuel tank. I removed the carburetor and cleaned it but didn't pay close enough attention of how the spring was installed when I removed the float pivot pin. The parts diagram for the carb wasn't helpful but I found your video and that did the trick. To mimimize carb problems, I run non-oxy gas in my mowers and snowblowers and drain the fuel systems at the end of the season. After thoroughly cleaning the carburetor on this recently acquired Powerlite, going forward I should be able to get by without removing the carburetor from the intake and just simply remove the main jet and bowl when the carb needs cleaning.
I enjoyed this and the other video on this Tahoe project. I have the same problem with that lower door frame / rocker body panel. I have always wanted to buy a welding kit. Can you share how many hours this project may have taken you to finish? How well did it age since you fixed it? Total cost? I will be purchasing a welding kit as my 2015 Suburban LT has all the common rust problems that come with age plus the affects of living in the cold salty Northeast coast in Massachusetts.
Probably had 40-50 hours in all the repairs to the suburban. It still looked pretty good when they sold it 3 years later. This work was done six years ago so it’s not fresh in my mind
I let a relative borrow my truck.... lumbar support didn't work after he returned it. After watching your tutorial, I started repairs. First thing that I found, the adjustment knob sort of fell off.... I realigned the splines, popped it on, and the adjuster worked! Thank goodness!!!
Get a radiant heater on an adjustable stand from Amazon like I did and "bake" your primer if its cold. Not too close, but close enuf to keep it warm. Go out and move it around as needed. I do the same on cold weather repairs/clear coat. It helps. Then i still let it sit overnight to make sure, then paint the next day
The door catches are on the main rocker panel if I recall correctly. I have in the past left the suicide door on and bolted striker loosely. Then test fit rocker to align with lower door striker and properly gap the rocker to the door before welding in place
