    recommendation when changing any fluid with a fill and drain plug - always take the fill plug out first! not only does it allow faster draining, but if you drain your tcase and then realize that the fill plug is stuck you're in hot water. always take the fill out, if it strips, make a plan to fix it but at least the fluid is still inside so the vehicle isn't stuck partially complete and unable to drive.

      Additionally, when I change any fluid, I pour several ounces of the new oil, gear oil, tranny fluid or whatever I'm changing to help flush more of the old crap out, when I see the cleaner fluid coming out, then it's time to put the plug back in. I'd rather loose 2-6 ounces of new than mix it with any of the old.

      @@WaldosWorld All you need is the headache rack. I've hauled a lot of lumber just by leaning it over the headache rack and letting it hang off the back; and tie it down that way. I have a 9ft bed,so the angle isn't really that steep. I've hauled 20ft lumber like that for years; you can stack it all the way across your truck like that and have a nice load; just use the bigger ratchet straps and wrap it around the stack once, so when you cinch it down, it will squeeze the stack together and keep them from sliding off. I let the boards stick about 5ft off the back, and they would hang over the cab about 5ft. You'd be surprised at how much you can haul that way-- and if you really need to take home more than that, just bring your trailer. lol. Typically lumber yards deliver anyway.

    My family had a beautiful 6.6 duramax with a crew cab. We had it for 13 years and it had 500,000 km on it, it was a really cool good old diesel truck and it was pretty reliable. But just like anything things wear out, and it wasn’t the right fit for the family anymore. I greatly miss it, sometimes when I hear one idling it brings back all of the memories we had in that truck. Our new Toyota Tundra just doesn’t have the same angry sound/feel that the old duramax had.
    I hope someday I will buy one in good shape for just a pleasure vehicle.

    Very wise of you to change all the fluids and filters especially on a diesel!! People often underestimate the importance of clean fresh lubrication for mechanical systems.

    I had a 2002 Silverado, and my bumpers rusted out just like that. The oil fill cap got tighter in the tube after a few years too. It's easy to remove the dash bezel if you drop the tilt wheel first. Keep an eye on your leaf spring shackles and brackets. It's a common failure point for GMT800 trucks. They're notorious for rusted brake and fuel lines too, so it's good that you went through the hydraulics.

    Hi Waldo,,
    I know you installed the 2 post lift already - but here's another tip for backyard mechanic getting started.
    I went to home depot, bought 6 2x6-4ft boards from the pre-cut/ salvage pile.
    I lag 3 of these together to create a 4-1/2 inch "ramps" and drive my pickup or SUV to create some slight elevation when working underneath. Helps create a little extra room when changing engine/ trans fluids, diff fluid. Won't ever collapse like the trashy metal ramps from the auto store or wally marts.
    These ramps are also good "jiffy-jacks" when changing a trailer tire - no need for a jack, just drive good tire up on the ramp, trailer lifts flat tire up off the ground.
    PS- I've been doing the spreadsheet thing for 10 years. Damn recovering engineers

  • @Yeti573
    @Yeti573 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    I would highly advise that you use the ACDelco TP3018 fuel filter. The reasoning being is that the ACDeclo TP3018 has a 2 or 3 micron rating and the Wix has a 7 or 8 micron rating. Common rail fuel systems need the fuel filtered very well. There are a few other real small reasons use the ACDeclo, but the main one is the micron rating. Love the vids! 👍

    When you get back to messing with the brake fluid and parts down the road, take a rubber valve stem, drill a hole in a spare reservoir cap and pull the valve stem through it. When you install this cap onto the reservoir and apply a low air pressure to it it will power bleed your brakes in no time. The reservoir cap is not air tight but it’s good enough to really bleed the brakes fast with a low air pressure. You will still need two people, one on the air hose, one on the brake bleeders.

Maybe a pintle hitch. All heavy duty for when you pull a regular trailer. Thanks for another awesome video Waldo.

    I've no doubt you could.

I'm sure it can take more weight and more pull this way, but it's almost always too high. My brother had one added to his grill guard. Made it the same height as the rear receiver. Much more convenient.

    LLY duramax is pretty solid. Look at upgrading the turbo mouthpiece and deleting the egr. Glowplug connectors are sus. Keep an eye on your transmission cooler lines where the hoses crimp, they leak, especially in cold weather. Look at upgrading the oil pump in the transfer case. Also these ole girls can blow a head gasket and stay kind of undetected. If you open the coolant jug after about 10 minutes of running and coolant blows out, get ready.

    Watch out for the transfer case. The anti rattle clip will break and cause the pump to rub a pinhole in the rear half. The leak is very small and before you know it the oil will be critically low and destroy the transfer case. The redesign just slides over the pump ear and isn't staked to the housing.

    Quick tip on anything with a drain or fill plug. Always take the fill plug out first, so that way you know you can put more fluid in. If you drain the fluid from the housing/case first and can't put anymore fluid in....it is not a fun time.

    Great video! A few tips and things to look out for on these trucks.
    1 There is a drain plug on the bottom of the rear diff, makes fluid changes alot easier and less mess.
    2 Check out a pump rub kit for the transfer case. You can also run full synthetic 5w30 in the transfer case if you use 4wd alot.
    3 braided brake lines make a noticable difference on these trucks with brake pedal feel. Also keep an eye out for the hard lines rusting. Fuel lines too.
    4 If you have any issues with the rear end making any noises, get rid of that G80. They didn't get the nicname "govbomb" for no reason lol I went with a torsen differential and love it. No additives needed either.
    5 Look at a lift pump, they help extend the life of the CP3 high pressure pump, as well as the injectors which are a bit of a pain to do on the LLY motors.
    6 PCV reroute to a catch can before going back to the intake, helps keep oil out of the intercooler pipes.
    7 Run a good lubricity additive, also helps keep the injectors alive.
    Watching the gooseneck build video now, you definitely have a new subscriber, love the fabrication, and easy explanation videos!

    Great Vid Waldo. I also bought the fuel filter wrench, it was also the incorrect size lol, channel locks on the other hand are the correct size. I poured a small Pad for my outdoor wood boiler i borrowed a 2 bag cement mixer and that made it infinitely easier. With that being said an outdoor wood boiler would be a really cool build. They’re very expensive new, you could run one loop to the shop and another to the house. It’d be challenging but you’re no stranger to a challenge.

    When I used to have my old 7.3 the easiest way to change the oil filter was to puncture it and let it drain out then take it off. So much easier for me due to the massive size of the filter. I never filled it up because of how much it took to fill and no where and I mean no where did the OEM ford motorcraft filters ever mention doing so. ( if you do pre fill you increase your chances of introducing contaminates into the engine side of the filter which can be killer for the truck. I always primped the system at least three times before cranking the truck over with every oil change). But that was just me. Best of luck and have fun with your project. I know I’m going to catch flack for my oil change but you do you for your truck.

      @@Wesleystewart78 no idea. Once I turned the key on but not over a couple time I then turned it on and let crank over. After a minute or so it would read good pressure. I’d let it run a bit then check the dip stick. I knew that it took 15 quarts so that’s what I put into it and it always read right on the stick.

    Hey man, excellent video, i'm a new viewer here. I've heard that it is better to not pre fill the filter because when it's filled some of the oil will not be filtered and you will have a little bit of unfiltered oil run through your engine, and i just wanted to hear your take on this. I can't prefill since mine is also mounted sideways and i understand people have success either way, but I am just curious. Thanks!

    Honestly if you filmed pouring the pad, I’d watch. I’d be way to afraid to show me pouring a pad for a lift on TH-cam. Every arm chair expert will tell you how you did it wrong even if they have no idea what they are talking about. I am an electrician not a concrete guy but my first guess would be to build with lots of rebar and a decent wall and footing. Although as you said it is temporary.

  • @dieseldrax

    1:30 Pre-filling filters is arguably a bad idea vs installing dry, the reason being any contaminants that happen to get knocked or poured into the filter go right into the engine and don't get filtered out.

    Wowza that oil filter was difficult... I had one on a woodchipper that required a hammer and chisel after crushing it with a strap style removal tool...
    I hate using gear oil pumps, but it seems to be the only option sometimes. I have found though that mine works better when it's not tightened onto the jug/bottle. Guess the vacuum from pumping the fluid out becomes a problem.
    Also, nice catch on the double O-rings and paper towel mishap. Good to catch it before it becomes an issue!

    I worked at a shop a few years back where management and everybody who worked there said you should tighten oil filters with the oil filter wrenches. Having gone to school for automotive tech, I said "heck no I'm not doing that." Their reasoning was "well, we've never had a car come back with an oil filter that came off or leaked." Neither have I, and I tighten it by hand lol

One suggestion regarding them is that I’d love to see the goose neck/C3500 Bed completely finished with the paint, lighting, deck boards, etc. I think many viewers really love the satisfaction of seeing the final product, and may encourage more viewers to like/subscribe. I can also understand that the last 10% of a project takes about 50% of the total time invested, so those videos would be tedious to make, but I think it would pay dividends. Keep up the great work!

    With the oil filter, it really doesn't need to be prefilled, I've heard lots of points for people saying you MUST prefilled oil filters and others say you absolutely shouldn't.
    But for the side that says don't prefilled filters, they say that by adding the oil to the filter, you risk having contaminated and unfiltered oil reach the main bearings, but if you don't then the oil fills the filter naturally and only takes the same amount of time as if you didn't fill it.
