The articulation, engagement, and overall production value of this video is far greater than what would be expected of a channel with only 3K subs.

how do you torque to spec if its by hand?

Would you be interested in making one and shipping it to me?

wish they didn't get rid of that cap on the 05-06

I wish Chevy would have kept making them honestly, it's way more useful than a modern 4 door 1500, and I bet even more people would buy these now than they did in the 2000s.

My 03 avalanche has been my home since 2019 and I'm finally closing on a house in November. 5 years of sacrifice well worth it

Should have put a picture of it all popped out and and set up

My spare would drop about 2" then stop because the hook was frozen in place holding it. What I did was pull the cable down a couple more inches to prove it was the hook then retracted the cable just enough so that the spring would start to compress barely lifting the spare. I then had enough play in the spare to rotate the mechanism within the center hole of spare and lined up the hook side with a lug hole (opposite side where you can just barely see the cable through a lug hole), then with a 1/4" rod about 10" long fed though the lug hole and against the hook side of retainer, hit a couple times with a hammer to push the seized hook in, then was able to lower the spare the rest of the way normally...worked like a charm on first try!!! PS: I think this will only work with a steel wheel, since it is very difficult to see through the lug hole and with a deeper lug hole you couldn't achieve the proper angle to line the 1/4" rod up with the hook area. I haven't yet decided whether to cut the hook off or lube the hell out of it.

Any torque settings for bolts since you are dealing with aluminum ( don't want to mush)?

You put the bracket on too soon it should be the outermost item before bolting on I checked your video and confirmed it.

Excellent Explination. Approximate time needed ?

Just installed a new cluster in a 2005 Caddy Escalade Ext. Your instructions were spot on. Thanks.

Some good info here. Too bad the camera moved away at every critical point, lol. And thanks for skipping over the important parts, like taking the bracket off, removing the o-ring, and taking the filter off and putting it back on.

Shouldn't the gasket with dual holes work for your vehicle too, but not the other way around, single oval hole gasket definitely wouldn't work if there's an oil cooler present?

didn’t even show how he drained it ????

I love the sound of a nice mig weld! 5:50

This vid was by FAR the best out there , I got it done in less than 30 Mins. I cut the plastic tab to allow easy access with my Dremel tool and cutting wheel. Pulled old one out and popped the new unit in after lubing it with silicone spray . Works like new , thanks !!

Sorry I know this has been a while but I'm wondering which q clips you bought. The link to Amazon goes to a listing with a bunch of options. Thanks in advance.

Just a tip I learned dealing with my Chevy Avalanche 2002 1500: My hoist was binding and I couldn't get it to turn (while the spare tire was still in place). It would just turn a little bit and then click and not turn anymore so it would not lower the cable. I was considering cutting the cable and then ordering a new hoist. To remove the hoist I figured I had to wiggle it a bit, but since the spare tire was still attached and tight against the frame, I wasn't sure how I could wiggle it. So next I let out some air from the tire and that released the tension on the hoist and then IT STOPPED BINDING and worked normally.

Good vid. Easy to follow. It's amazing how cheaply vehicles are built these days. Plug and play, and mostly disposable....

How did you get your clearance lights on the back of the mirror to work??? Mine has blue wire that is for the reverse light. But nothing for the clearance.

Where did you get the grille for your Avalanche?

How do you know if the thermostat is not working properly? My 2002 Tahoe starts to heat up only when it is stopped, when I start running the temperature drops

Pretty sure there's an adjustment window on the inside of that backplate which allows the parking brake to be adjusted without taking _anything_ apart, sooooooo.......dipshit alert!!!

This is awesome! Can you tell me about the rack you have on the roof of the Avalanche?

There not auto adjust they should be adjusted when needed or when servicing rear brakes

So how did you press in the lower bj? It would've been nice to see how you got it in and out!

Well, I’ll say it in Spanish but you will understand: Fenomenal!! Gracias

Thanks for the help bro, those stupid radiator clips are the only thing that held me back. I kept wondering why the wrench kept slipping.😂😢😅

My F-250 super duty has the 4-door crew cab. With a 9 ft bed.

The wear warning springs are a hassle. So it's easier to just break them off. I always replace the rotors anyway...

Need one for 96 Chevy Tahoe k1500 5.7l

On my iA, they were 14mm , not 13mm. Other than that, great video. Edit: HA! You realized it at the end. 🤣

A much needed video! Thank you so much!

What size you used

Mine came in the mail today.

I have the same truck. About to redo entire front end. Sway bar, center link, upper lower c/a's hubs etc., Your video is great but instead of taking this apart piece by piece can I just drop the whole from end if I disconnect the axles (all brake stuff is removed already) ?

What do you do if the drum brakes on the rear of a 2003 Chevy Malibu are locked up? Loosen up each individual wheel with the star gear, or is there an emergency cable adjustment?

For anyone wondering - rotors come out after the step that’s missed. You just have to jerk it a bit. Might take a couple of soft hits with a hammer to loosen

How did you take off the rotor? You skipped a major step

I always use a box end wrench when changing. Sometimes that soclet can tilt a little and cause it to slip. Over time you end up with a rounded off oil drain plug. The last thing you need. Box end wrenches just work so well for this application. And I always prefill my oil filter. There is a reason why oil filters have a anti drainback valve. The manufacturer does not want your vehicle to have a dry start which is what you get with a dry filter.

That stupid metal hook rust welded itself and had to spend 30 minutes pouring the shit out of my tire to make it come down

Hoping to see the bleed sequence to the hydro boost

My bolts keep spinning. Do you have any suggestions?

I can't open the door to get to the screws

Thank you i replaced my thermostast very quick by following your step to step video. Keep up the good work.!!!

Next time take your screwdriver stick it in the side of the caliper compress the caliper a little bit and I'm both the brake caliper bracket with caliper all as one

Soo first gen it's better?

How is it you got two feet of room there to work and I get like 2 in

What about the fan shroud did that magically come out All by its own .....also ?????
