None of these driveshaft vids on YT actually show how to torque the flange bolts. I have sockets, extensions, flex joints, torque wrench etc but I can't seem to get anything on straight enough to apply 75 ft lbs of torque successfully. I end up using a combination wrench with a pipe for leverage. Does the truck need to be on a lift or ramps? And exactly what combination of tools get the bolts torqued properly?
Very nice video! You covered most items and did a great job!! My only pet peeve would be to PLEASE use a torque wrench for the fuel filters ( I think they're 28 mm) and on the oil drain plug ( if memory serves 27 ft/lbs?) Also, the oil drain plug is not an exact fit for 3/8's drive extensions, they actually make exact fit square drive plug tools (SnapOn, Mac, etc) ... Should someone overtighten these components, you will have a bear of a time extracting ... using easy outs and barrel extractors, while not getting paid for your skillset. Ask me how I know... "Good and Tight" don't work in todays world any longer, not with micro precision engineering. Also don't forget to change the drain plug gasket or copper. (Can't remember on this model) Otherwise GREAT job and Thank You!!
Cummins has never had a replaceable drain plug gasket. It's a over molded rubber gasket. You also don't need a "special" tool for the drain plug. I've worked on 1000's of 5.9 and 6.7 Cummins and have never needed a special tool for the plug. Even if they're really tight and worn out.
I see. That you did the rock solid for the colors and the epoxy for the clear coat. Did you use it over the color and if so with it being essentially the step down from the rock solid did you have any bonding, or not setting up issues between the two?
What in the world you guys don’t go through all the process what about bleeding getting the air out of the oil filter? How do you guys do that? If you guys are going to make videos you need to make it all the way through us all the steps.
installed the kit on my 23 , with 51s , my driver side cushion or spring shifted , spring is rubbing against frame , have you noticed anything with yours ?
Did you replace your track bar? Because if you didn’t it sounds like your front axle isn’t centered. An adjustable track bar would fix that. I have one on my 5th Gen.
no didnt think it was necessary with these new rigs , but its in the books that i would like to, they also repositioned the cushion an fixed think they had the spring backwards over at the shop i went to
What is the point of doing this? If you tow a 400lb trailer your gonna be sky high let alone towing 10,000lbs…. Do you guys buy these diesel 3/4 ton trucks to drive around town and be cool or what the fuck lol.. your rear is higher because when you load the truck it levels it out. All you highway Queen drivers out there with trucks that measure the same front and back and towing shit.. Unless you have air bags I guess but Jesus…. Buy a car if your not gonna tow and just want to look pretty and get shotty gas kilage with 35” tires and a truck that never hauls..
I did it because I like it. It hauls our toy hauler fine, along with our landscaping trailer and cargo trailer. I use my wife’s raptor for around town when we are not pulling anything
to each his own bud. so you troll youtube videos you don't even like, shoot down anyone that would watch this video, and why? Lets start a discussion on your pettiness shall we.
@@akathedude3266 I stated it so other people don’t do it and then suffer when their $70-100k truck can’t tow a 2000 lb trailer cause the front end is aimed at the sun cause you used a leveling kit and the front is 3” higher to start with.. it’s a free country.. I’ll comment on whatever video I want. So F off 😂
My 2015 F-150 sport supercab 4x4 does not have this boot, so just the PTFE lube and some Blue locktite needed. So check your setup before ordering the $35 Ford kit for lube and a single clamp. FYI
Hey man great video. The oil filter cap is a must and it’s a cheap part to get on Amazon. Just did my truck today and I will say that when I put the new oil filter on I did it from up top to better see what I was doing. Just had to take the pipe off from air box to turbo. Did it hand tight and then a quarter turn with filter wrench thru wheel well 😅
if you take the intake hose from the air filter to the turbo off you will then be able to unscrew and lift the filter off from the top just a tip to not make a mess on that pretty truck i love ram they are great trucks and that's why i drive em
Hi thanks for your video Israel good explains everything but I have a question your truck make noise when you turn your steering wheel to the left mind mine make a horrible noise
