As a mechanic I will definitely attest to how great the cordless ratchets are. I have used the three majors snap on, Matco and Milwaukee. Of the three Milwaukee was the best of them all. My snap on initially was the best with the most torque however, over time that was lost as the battery died. Matco was and still is great but I can only use it for small jobs for the most part. My Milwaukee is average use so I still depend on my other two but for a residential mechanic. ( no offense guys) The warranty is better battery has an issue send it back they send you a brand new one. They do not question if you purchase the extended warranty either. Now as he states snapon better warranty is great the first year after that you just flushed $399 down the drain is it breaks. Not to mention they will give you the test of the ages to get it fixed under warranty if your within time. I would recommend the Milwaukee any day. They make great tools and they stand behind their product years down the road. However, do not buy the ones for harbor freight unless you truly only want it for small projects. I think I should make a video showing the differences in the tools.
This was EXTREMELY helpful. I hit a deer which took out my drivers side fender. This video made it easy to remove my fender and replace it without any surprises or moments where i went "What the hell is still holding this fender on"
When it comes to Milwaukee battery power they way out do snapon in quality and price I've worked in automotive/diesel/and forklift industry I've used both and milwaukee best by far in every battery tool
Great video, pretty much explains everything. I have to change front fenders on my 03 Silverado and now it will be much easier after watching you. Thanks
Thank you for the video I watched it all and I did the fender myself with your video step by step and I appreciate it because you saved me lots of money 😂👌🏽
that ratchet Will let you down I bought one and after a month it would smoke and then stop working all together then I Bought a cheap off brand knock off but It works great .
I just did this job myself If they built the rest of the truck as sturdy as the fender it would be great. I've never understood why you need 35 bolts in a fender lol
Curious my brother? Mine is a 2002 diesel four-wheel drive 2500 is that the same setup that you got right there and is that the same fender and what did you consider a good price for your finger I'm trying to find one for 30 40 50 bucks tops they're trying to charge $200 for it all over online??? My brother did you say fitment? That's what my dad always has to use but I'm sorry it's not the right one
Man that sucks that you got a good deal and then still had to paint it. You were probably kicking yourself in the ass when you notice the two different paints.
That was awesome and hugely helpfull, thanks! You should have your partner say hello on the video to. She's obviously helping allot! I think my wife would help too if not for the 3yr old :) I'm about to tackle this same job. But my fender is completely rusted out. I also think the electrical box / fusebox bolts are in a slightly different orientation (2004LLY)
relating back to an older video --- in your Custom gmc 2500hd emblems video how did you get the emblem so clean i have done the same with my 2500 hd truck and i cant get the emblem clean enough to paint
Mitchell Kennedy I used my wife’s nail polish remover carefully, don’t use to much and isopropyl alcohol. If I remember right it did take some time. I also think I used a razor blade on some of the left over residue.
Makes sense. I did do most of my fender today. I ended up removing the grill and lights to give myself more space. Now just trying to straighten out the hood.
Nice. The hood alignment with the fender looked different at the front with the new fender vs the old one. Looks like the fender is sticking out about 3/4" to the side at the front of the truck. It's weird.
How do you readjust the fender tho? My tire hit the wheel well after I hit a nasty pothole and when I opened the door it crumpled the fender on the middle part
