This project is going to be a fun watch. He expanded his skills, fearlessly, by taking on missions beyond his comfort zone previously, and now he’s going to bless his dad because he was brave enough to grow. Well done.

If that truck has cylinder deactivation, which I'm 99% sure it does. I would recommend finding a way to disable it, it has been known to cause uneven wear on the valvetrain on the 5.3 and 6.2 v8.

@TheNickfont Месяц назад

Always get a certified welder to do frame repairs man. There’s a lot more to just “welding a bracket” back on the frame. Preheat and post heat to nominalize the steel after the repair. Making sure you have the appropriate amount of weld input into that piece. There’s reasons for the small amount of metal deposited into that bracket for accidents and crush points. Other then that carry on love your fixing it for your dad

@GrantCrabe 2 дня назад

I see messages like this and I wonder do you realize people had to just invent welding from scratch had to create techniques without any prior knowledge? Do you realize all these people trade or academics telling you have to take their course to be good are from a long line of people that had to figure it out? I hope an apocalypse never comes because you will be waiting a long time for a specialist to show up because you would rather not do an adequate job yourself

@makotanko2994 Месяц назад

I’ll be honest, I would want a certified welder to weld the lower control arm mount that you got a replacement for. Just so much weight on that arm

@bens1019 Месяц назад

I feel like the frame mounts for the upper control arm are bent. The alignment where it bolts up is different from the otherside.

@claylewis402 27 дней назад

If you have the 5.3 engine, it is one of the best GM has ever put out. I've had 2,one in a 2004 Tahoe with 260,000 miles when I sold it and currently in my 2015 Sierra Denali with 133,000 miles on it. Make sure you do a complete fluid change before you do a lot of driving because you never know how the previous owner kept it up. Good luck !!!

@pv2xeek 24 дня назад

Very debatable. Those engines are a roll of the dice. Some go 300k without issues and more of them wipe out cam lobes or collapse lifters at 50k. Sometimes you get lucky and find a 6.0 or 6.2 without AFM but even then you are most likely stuck with a junk 6L80 behind it.

@pv2xeek Месяц назад

Just traded in my '18. It's a good thing you got this for cheap. With 113k on it I can almost guarantee the 6l80 will need to be rebuilt or overhauled. At a minimum, it's going to need a torque converter. You might as well plan for it now.

@jamesmcdonald5868 Месяц назад

The still shots and video shots that you took of the Passenger side shows that that rear bumper is bent down as slightly.That might have been from retrieval from the accident , but it is bent. If you are going to the extent of replacing all of the things on the front and taking care of the airbag and all of that, you might as well, just throw in a couple 100 extra bucks and get the new rear bumper as well or just try to bend up the bumper mounts, because that's where.It bent at.

@shawnstjohn3831 Месяц назад

Since someone was kind enough to yeet the factory air box, you should just put a cold air intake on it. Probably wont do much for power or performance, but it'll sound pretty cool and you need the filter anyway

I’m pretty sure this has cylinder deactivation find a kit and get rid of it as soon as you can maybe throw a nice cam in it while you’re at it don’t know much about the transmissions but I would definitely get it serviced while you’re doing all this work.

@TheTalonts Месяц назад

Pad the tree next time! You'll kill it if you tear through too much of the bark with that chain. I bought 4-6" wide nylon strapping (you can just get a snatch strap) and sewed it together into a tube to run the chain through when putting up a swing in a tree, that will work well for what you're doing.

Make sure you do a DOD delete and upgrade the torque converter also drop the trans pan and check for glitter. If it’s there I’d replace the trans. These generation of gm trucks have a few weak points.

@outrushmoto7614 Месяц назад

At 100k it is probably going to need a transmission. Once it shutters going up a hill/driving its already too late. Best Buy Transmassions has a 5 year 100,000 mile warranty on their products, just installed one in a 14 gmc very similar to that one.

@brysonlong6835 Месяц назад

These trucks have issues with the torque converter destroying themselves and the transmission. You can put a new torque converter in it and it will fix that issue. Or you can get a transmission thermostat bypass which would help but you can still have future problems keeping the factory torque converter in there. With the engine I would definitely recommend get a AFM/DOD disabler. You can buy them online and plug them in to the OBD port and it keeps the engine from going into V4 mode. It’s a common issue that the factory lifters fail due to switching from V8 mode to V4 mode. This will keep the truck in V8 mode all the time. Definitely worth doing.

@Scotty_in_Ohio Месяц назад

I'd really spruce up the interior - perhaps nicer arm rest - nicer head unit, etc. I'd also look to see if one of the multi function tailgates will work for this year truck - that would be a very nice upgrade - as we all get older getting in the bed of the truck gets to be more of a challenge and the lift kit doesn't help. also deploying type side steps would be nice as well....

@timothykraus7654 Месяц назад

Great idea of putting the small lift for replacement parts ! I think your welding needs a bit of improvement in prep and final paint coverage ? Would add a plate over that welding job on front and rear ! That's A nice daily for your dad ! All in its an inexpensive useful pickup ! Will be able to get a few years OUT of it ! One owner clean title is the whole value ! Sorry but not into your boat videos . I do however enjoy all your automotive content for years ! God Bless !

@ndmac440 Месяц назад

I agree with adding a plate. Welding will actually anneal the steel making it a little softer in that area. Reinforcement is a good idea.
