    Cab Air Springs - 1:13
    Very happy to have gotten this done!
    Window guide fix - 7:22
    A cheap fix for the time being so the window would roll up.
    Transmission oil & filter change - 9:33
    Took some time but overall not bad to do.

    Just found your channel. Very happy I did, I had covered ALOT of topics I’ve wanted to go over. I liked the way your educational/ informational pieces were put into all of your videos. Each video had their own topic on what it covered. And with each topic you go VERY in depth with each topic, which I really appreciate. There are a few things that I’m new at that I would like your advice on. I’m always on TH-cams. Other than that, I’m very happy I found this channel. Keep up the good work. It’s very helpful and useful

      Thanks for the compliments & watching. I try to keep things simple & informative as I know that's what I look for when I need some help.

    I had the same thing happen with my window regulator. I drilled 2 holes in the inner door and used a u-bolt to clamp the track to the door. With the door panel on, you can't see a thing. It works perfectly!

      That's a much better solution than I came up with. If the other side fails, I'll go your route. 😀

    The spec on your airbag height is 2.64"-2.87", measured from the top of the square bottom mounting plate to the bottom lip of the cylindrical steel airbag guard. I set mine at 2.75"... Good vid!

    • @CallMeColtLLC
      @CallMeColtLLC  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I figured there was a set range but I just went with what looked good. I will measure mine just to see how close I was. Thanks for the information!

    Sure wish it was a little drier around here as it seems to be in your neck of the woods. Nice resource-rich video... I think with some instructions from the TM you quoted and this video, most anyone should be able to duplicate it. When I go the change my transmission oil, I am heavily leaning towards Transynd transmission oil. I understand the shifting in "car-like." Don't know about your rig, but Malachai shifts hard, especially when cold.

      South Texas is very dry & warm. 😀

      I decided to keep with the 15W40 oil for simplicity. I have 10-20 gallons of it on hand at any given time for the rest of my equipment. Since I'm in a warm climate, I don't have an issue with super hard shifts. i actually like solid shifts... less time with the clutches engaging. I turned up shift pressures on my Super Duty. Thanks for watching brother! I gotta catch up on your videos... been busy. I should have some down time at work later this week. :p

    Is there a starter install video showings which wires are which my step father bought the same truck and can’t figure out starter wires

    • @CallMeColtLLC
      @CallMeColtLLC  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I do not know of any videos showing a starter install. You probably could just use the wire diagrams in the Technical Manuals.

    How did you determine you needed to change these?

      Are you talking about the cab air bags? They leaked.
