Case Of The Shakes: Duramax Suspension Rebuild!
Time to do some much needed maintenance on this 22 year old Duramax truck! It recently started shaking so bad I was afraid to drive it, so it's time to go through the front suspension, showing you my issues, replacing the upper control arms, pitman arm, idler arm, alignment pins as well as new cam bolts. I also show how to use some special tools that are needed for job like this. The parts I used are from XDP, who had parts in stock and shipped them quick. Links from XDP are below as well as through Amazon depending on where you want to buy from. Tool links are below as well.

Will It Fit?? 2011 Hydro-boost On My 2002 Duramax!

Time to replace this old leaky hydro boost in my 2002 GMC Duramax!

Very good video
@@jarviscorley8860 thanks!
For a custom to vehicle shade it doesn't fit very well. The cheap one was way better, price and fit. So you decide $8.00 for the cheap one from amazon that works fine or $183.00 from Covercraft that doesn't.
I an 01 Duramax and I have been told replacing the hydroboost was an absolute nightmare. You proved it wrong. I feel I can do this myself. Thank you for this video!

@@eugene1653el yea I really liked the v6. Great power not so great mileage haha.
Get ready. I just cut around that slot on my 2011 avalanche..... It was not easy. If they wanted us to cut it away they sure did make the plastic thick even though the slot is implied. You can see where it's supposed to be. At least that allows you to know where to cut but that doesn't make it any easier to cut through thick dash plastic without the blade wandering or slipping and possibly cutting yourself so be careful ias you're going to be very angry while you're doing this because you have this information and there's absolutely no reason did an AC system that has debris going through it should not have a filter I can confirm this after I ripped that thing off along with the parts of the plastic around it. Because it really isn't designed to be done easily. It's a weird angle to dig in with a box cutter or some other razor-like device. I saw another video where a guy just used a spinning disk and just melted the plastic while cutting it. It's not some secret compartment you're not going to get a free filter when you open it. What you're going to get is a good look add all the garbage that has gone up in clogged your AC system. For me that would be around 14 years creating this abstract art attached object and other crap collage it has no business being created in the first place.. this isn't just a design flaw , this is a bad decision made by designers who already had this in place and took it away. Why? If you're able to get in there and take a look. You're going to want to talk to somebody about it like how do I get this out to clean it or how can I clean it? It's already destroyed my blower motor and I think it burned out the resistor. No big deal. Now on top of diagnosing why my AC wasn't working and spending the time and the money to buy all the parts because they were probably ruined because of this ingenious design? What designer of an HVAC system thinks it doesn't need filtration. Help most cars have a pre-filter and one after. This one goes to 11 oh I'm sorry I mean zero. And when you have zero filtration? I'll probably hear your screan from where I'm at when you finally get in there and take a look. There are conflicting videos about this online period with mechanic showing them taking the filter out of a 2011 just like it was a 2001. If you go up to the auto parts store and ask if they have a filter they say yes. And when you finally determined that it's supposed to have a filter why wouldn't it have a filter? You trying to figure out how to access yeah there's nothing there except for an outline where they're supposed to be a door. Then people will tell you you get to it through the glove box and to take that off. And the final answer and I'm not kidding he said you have to cut your vehicle open with a sharp blade all right spinning Dremel disc to get to the empty space where you put your filters in. Probably about 10 to 15 years too late. I know I've written too much to say I'm speechless.
nice
Appreciate the review very much, agree with everyone else, those gaps on a custom shade are unacceptable. CoverCraft should respond or clarify exactly how they expect a custom fit to fit.
This would fail an inspection. That switch is not rated for 30 amps and you've basically put it inline with the heater load which defeats the purpose of using a contactor. The point of the contactor is to handle the load such that something like a normal light switch (or timer) can power the coil. Also it's kinda wasteful and potentially dangerous (heat) to run romex like that through PVC (nitpick). Much cleaner (and easier to pull) to use individual THHN conductors. Nice heater BTW, I have the same one.

Can you put this 2011 hydroboost on a gas truck?
Say, an 03 tahoe?
@@TheRoyJames I would think so but let me do some digging and I’ll see what it says
For premium price and being "custom" fit, the fitment should be way better. Ill stick with the cheaper
I noticed that the 2011 unit doesn't have a weep hole at the bottom. Any concerns for you there?
@@SteveoAtilla another viewer pointed out the weep hole is there, just not right at the mating surface and set back more on the booster. Just checked mine and it’s true.
Just swapped out one of these on the old motorhome - check into the 178-1040 - it should be identical to the 1036 and cheaper. Also for you guys that tow- a small trans cooler plumbed into the PS return line and use a TES-295 ATF fluid like Mobil one Delvac or Castrol Transynd will extend the life of your components and save your shit from boiling over in hot ambient temps while trying to back in your trailer/load. Slow speed turning and maneuvering is murder on the system
@@tyronetrump1612 great to know! Thanks for posting he rock auto price as well.
Used Pine Sol over the wekend for my old Ford carb and worked very well. Only thing I noticed was Pine Sol tends to eat steel parts more than I expected. The throttle lever and fast idle cam are steel and saw a bit of corrosion on them. Ended up using Evaporust in my ultrsonic cleaner and clened right up. I'm a new believer in the Pine Sol!
the expensive one is GAPVILLE
Nice product… shitty fitment. Not worth $80 if it doesn’t fit right.
2005 has one as well
What about 2004?
Man I hate gaps, the point of getting custom fit is for no gap. The small gap will let all the hot and sun in
going to the amazon link the description says it a 2018? weep hole was moved to the middle verse at the end .
@@meademods6024 I’ll check the link and make sure.
@@meademods6024 just checked my link and my purchase history, it’s the same one I bought. Maybe that 2018 is when they started offering them? I know mine doesn’t have the weep hole in the original location but I didn’t realize it was moved forward.
@@HighPriority just received the new hydro Bost and installed it. the weep hole is in the middle of the unit. took me 1 hr. as before and the stupid clip on the break peddle gave me an awful fit this time and I lost my cookies!!!! what a pos design!! still need to go for a test drive but iv had a few drinks to calm down!!! heheh

i got 2 remans from auto zone this week and both are leaking!!! so, I will get what you got. nice video,
don't feel bad - you are one of the many who had to learn the hard way that you never buy remans or try to reseal yourself. Rock Auto is your friend
is it the same part number if i want to do it on a 2006 Tahoe 5.3 ?
i opened the carborator from top screws and put in carb cleaner directly... i was wrong ??
Good video amigo, i ordered 1 & since ive been a 12 volt tech for 35+ years i connected it to my DEH3000 with a dedicated 12 volt switch to the ignition wire & its own shared ground wire to the pioneer head unit, the radio's IP-Bus recognized the input & i hear the hiss white noise as i turn up the volume & the little blue light turned on & it paired to my phone but im getting no sound, i trouble shot it for half an hour & concluded that it never worked from the factory hence why i found this YT video😂
Nice how to video 👍👍. About how long did this take you to do? I just checked your link for that booster, it's now $350. We all know who's to blame for these higher prices.
I’d say it could be done in a couple hours if your taking your time. That sucks it’s gone up that much!
$297 - Rock Auto
Too much talk like a child.. ! Simply put that on and that's be it...!
I'd have a good laugh seeing you hiding in your truck behind the small one with the gaps in sun of Arizona, hard boild egg within minutes 😂 I bought one like this cheap one for my campervan for £5 with two suction cups used it in Spain and Portugal for two years still go strong. The cheap one aluminium bubble wrap winner all day long! At least It covers whole wind screen s that it's purpose a bit too much no problem. Problem begins where shield ends up and gap starts 😂 Cheap one winner💯👍🏻
Haha glad the cheap one is working for ya. I had one years ago that totally came apart in the Vegas sun. Then I got this cover craft one and it worked fine for me in the Vegas heat not problem.
@HighPriority Yep! I just did maths £5 including tax even if it lasts a year x 10 years it's still 50 British pounds I am glad yours works for you too👊💯😸❤️👍
For the price difference the cover craft should fit better. I would rather have one a little big than too small.
I should do a re-test and check temps throughout the day with both sun shades.
$80 for gaps. Nope
I think the height is good but yes the width could be upped by a bit.
Looks heavy and thick. Plus gaps are a no no in southern states where summer will roast you
I used this one in Vegas for quite a few years before moving east and it worked well for me.
You posted links to 2 different hydro boosts. What is the difference between them and which one did you use in this video? Thanks
I used the one listed as the LML hydro. For my 2002 it dropped right in no modification. My friend just installed the LML hydro into an LBZ, 06-07 truck and he had to open the eyelet a bit to fit the brake pedal pin.
@@HighPriority Thanks for the reply

They definitely got me laughing
Does it have a cd player Mines claim it has one and hell Im still looking for it
Now that you say that no I don’t think it did have one, I looked for mine as well. I think I’ve seen some that have the cd slot right below the hvac controls but I think mine had a cubby there instead
@@HighPriority ok
If I were to install 7500watts of baseboard heaters with 40amp breaker but only have a 5280watt, 22 amp thermostat. Can I use a 40a contactor between the 7500 watt baseboard and 5280watt thermostat to handle the big load?
difference could be because you don't have a leak and losing braking pressure. nothing to do with unit or fluid if it is that subtle.
You need to have very clean metal, and etch with a highly acidic flux of zinc chloride, then use a 95% tin 5% solder to stick to the steel, then use lead to fill the hole .. clean with baking soda and water to neutralize the hydrochloric acid formed from heating the flux...
Thank you for the input. Is that a special type of flux? Or is all that makeup?
@@HighPriority it's not special, but there are different types of fluxes for different applications... what would work for etching copper might not work for aluminum for example... electronics again a non corrosive flux, with steel you need a higher acid level flux ... temperature of your heat source and melting points of said solder are important to remember as well.
I'd rather have the shade that covers ALL the areas where the hot sun can get inside the car. Poor job @CoverCraft
Wait I need to check it
Nice work! I'm definitely doing this in my 2001 LB7 "Pig the Alaskan Overland Rig" Thank you.
What do you do during a call, since there isn't a microphone?
I believe I tried taking a call and I could hear them but your right, with no mic they had a hard time hearing me so I had to pick up the phone.
I just inherited an old truck with a discontinued camper. Been a pain sourcing glass and hardware. Seems im stuck jerryrigging something for the rear window
Good job!!
So Fucking Wrong !
Thanks for the input Larry.
It'll be fine.
Look. If you don't know how to do something.. don't teach other people the wrong way ! Get the metal hot enough to melt the solder... using the flame on the solder IS NOT HOW IT IS DONE. THe solder follws the flux when the metal is hot the solder will flow. A cold joint is NOT bonded and can just fall off under stress. Instant exploding bike. Serious Fail !
Strange never had an exploding bike from a fuel leak . You watch way too many Hollywood movies.
Looks like a century camper shell
Thanks! I saw one similar going down the road, had a thought to chase the guy down to see it haha.
Nice job skipping those other 3 nuts comin off
Your welcome! Trying to save 45 seconds of your life. 😆
Thanks for your review. You saved me $100 in today's market. Custom should fit like a glove, as stated below.
Too big (blocking more sun) is better than too small (blocking not enough) also they sell the universal one at the dollar store.
