GMT800 Chevy Silverado Cateye Headlights and Grille Replacement to the Sounds of Mozart
We still have some work to do on the front end but man, what a difference this made today!
Watch your socket gaskets! This one was doubled up with rubber and foam and I missed the rubber one when I removed the foam one. Once I installed the NEW rubber one, the socket would not turn in the housing. After further review, I found and removed the old rubber gasket and reinstalled the new one successfully.
HOW TO CHECK YOUR DRLs:
1. Flat ground with wheels chocked
2. Parking brake OFF
3. Be in full sun or have a helper shine a flashlight at the light sensor (bulb looking thing on top of dash)
4. Turn key on, do not start
5. Shift to drive
6. Verify operation
Grille I used: www.amazon.com/dp/B07GL9F7RZ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
Lights I used: www.amazon.com/dp/B07S65RC33?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

1:13 Parking light removal
1:32 Light socket removal
1:44 Grille removal
2:21 Grille Install
3:39 Light socket gasket install
5:17 Parking light install
6:02 Headlight bulb swap. DO NOT TOUCH HALOGEN BULBS WITH BARE FINGERS, oil from your skin will cause them to fail. Sounds stupid, but that's what I've always read.
6:33 Headlight install
7:36 Finished!

Yea, I was about to do a lift kit on my f250 with these. The extra safety pin is quite nice. Definitely worth it!
Yes they are!
Awesome detailed video. Thank you. Can’t wait to have my brakes back.
Thanks for watching!
I love the 1st generation Honda CR-V, also that thumbnail reminds me of the soyjack meme lmao 💀💀
They’re great!
Funny, I broke a stud on a 70 roadrunner when I was 17, they are backward threads,duh
Yep!
How did you bend the lines?
Stuff a strand of weed eater string in the line and bend it by hand. The weed eater string keeps the line from collapsing.
Nice video! You should do one replacing those brake shoes. Would be cool and informative.
Lol I’m not a fan of drum brakes.
@kauffmansgarage no worries, me neither that's what I wanted to see if you got down on those 🤣
I like to keep the air in the tire.
Yes! It’s been a while since I’ve done this and having the tire inflated would have been so much easier. I mention this in the video description as well. Good tip!
I've used 2tons on there and they held fine
It’s not about the capacity, it’s the extra height that helps with trucks and SUVs.
You need to ream it alot more than that. Probably why theres so many edits.
I had a leaking top valve cover gasket for over ten years in my 2002 Mazda Protege before it got fixed. That being said my last oil change got done at 20k miles felt like an ingrown toenail pulled.
2002 Mazda Protege LX 180k No garage storage time.
You went 20k miles on one oil change?
@@kauffmansgarage I would have got it done at 10k preferably if I had the money at the time. I had Full Synthetic 5w-30 in it for 20k. I have not detected any increase in oil consumption yet so I will continue using FS 5w-30 topping off as needed until the need for HM oil is shown.
Since you have an air compressor, air cleaning the pad a few times helps tremendously in keeping the pad clear of removed plastic etc. Acetone vapor at the end gives it the final clarity.
Will put some extra effort in next time. This truck was leaving soon so I was happy with the results. Good tips!
I have an HD version with 6.0. These are the Best trucks GM ever made!
Absolutely!
Nice, I usually replace the entire drain plug from time to time and didn’t realize the O Ring could just be changed instead.

I see wheel chokes too. Nice. I had a truck roll on me last year. I was ok b/c some bruises and lightly bruised ribs. But it was $2500 to fix the truck.
@@chaselesser3191 Ouch!
Good clear video. It might be just me but I feel more satisfied when the area around the parts worked on has been given a good clean. Easier to identify any leaks and minimises crud build up before the next service/repair.

Thanks for the video! I'm shopping for a similar truck but am less brave about high mileage. Would you mind telling what you paid? I also didn't catch which engine your truck has.
Will share total investment in a future video. The engine ID label is missing so I don’t know which it is yet, will also do a future video on how to determine which it is with a simple check. Don’t be scared if you find one that has been cared for, good luck!
Well explained and recorded. And the dog is a nice plus lol! appreciate the vid!
@@DiegoFarre4 Thank you!

You bet!
Did your brake line leak at all after replacing? Mine is slowly seeping at the top part of brake line
No, all good so far!
My brake lights stay on, but no signal left or right or hazards pop up. Could this be the issue? My grounds are good, I’ve used the tester to my 4runner and seem to pass. But still the issue with my trailer lights
@@raybo55 Very well could be the issue. Converter boxes like this can cause issues like you are describing.
What year is your CRV

I like it

How to remove
You need a special tool and see my other videos for that process.

What year honda odyssey
I THINK this came out of a 1999-2004 model odyssey. I can’t remember now exactly.
I love how at base level my jeep is already off the ground whereas my 3 ton jack stands I have to raise it damn near to the top to get the jeep off the ground
Exactly!
What’s the part#/name of the hose(0:37) you changed?

wtf are you driving?

@@kauffmansgarage nice
The weight rating is for the pair so definitely good to have the 6 ton if you have a heavier truck. They’re 15% off right now at HF
Nice!
The VTM-4 fluid is transmission fluid. Use your favorite brand. NAPA sells Eneos dual pump fluid if you don't want to buy from dealership. Amazon sells many different suction guns or fluid extractors You can pour the lubricant into them then force into differential or transfer case. If you own a Pilot don't forget to service the transfer case!
Thanks for watching! I think your comment was meant for a different video.
Doggone it. I was having trouble removing the fork so I went to TH-cam, found your video at the top and you didn't show how you got the fork off when you were having problems.
You have to pull the bolt all the way out of the clamp portion. The bolt captures the strut tube in a groove.
I'll stay with fluids from Honda
Yep.
What is he using please explain in detail.
It’s a bearing separator…
Great video, I bough mine in November 2021, evidently it had little maintenance done, I've been doing the service myself, only thing I haven't changed is this fluid, I had to change the differential, (had my mechanic do this one, since I don't have the room and back there I did not have the skills), did not ask if he changed said differential fluid. That's a great dog assistance by the way. Great job!
Thanks for watching!
Is there any reason to get 4 6-ton ones when I already have a set of 3-ton ones?
Depends on what you’re working on. The 6 tons are taller which work much better with trucks and suvs.
Can't slide the trans out with the 3 ton stands.
Man ! Thank you so much you just save me lot money on my 4 runner ..
Great to hear!
does the white cap funnel comes with the oil when you purchased it?
It came with some gear oil I purchased a while back. It does not come with the Honda fluid but you may be able to find something similar at your local auto parts store.
I have the same mower @luca and Bentley outdoors
Thanks for watching!
I like the 6 ton (different brand) because of the wider base.
Thanks for watching!
Just did mine,got allot of help from this video thank you 🙏🏽
Awesome! Thanks for watching.
To answer about the pattern, it wasn't great but not terrible. It should be higher up on the drive (convex) side. Ecgs and Timmy the tool man have s 98 min video on it. They set the Pinon and carrier using measurements without the seals or sleeve installed, verify good settings, then add those things in end retighten to the measurements that produced a good pattern
Thanks for watching! It was quiet so I was happy with it. New owner likes it too!
So there's a large side cover seal on the passenger side. Trying to replace it. How do I remove the old seal and install the new one?
