    It's so cool to see your videos getting better and better with each installment, Dalton. Your editing is spot on and it's hard to keep a straight face while watching between each moment- your humor, with editing pulls everything together- keep up what you're doing, brother!

    Hopefully a helpful tip: those shocks look identical to my Monroe Coil-Assistance Shock Absorber. They're roughly 80 a set and help the leaf springs in carrying some of the weight. I love mine cuz my leaf springs were long dead and the coil shocks actually lifted the rear by 2 inches.

    What a hidden gem of a channel this is 😂 This is the side of car culture that I love. Can’t wait to get a sh!t box I can fix up and customize on a dime. Speed doesn’t appeal much to me. Frugality, resourcefulness and self sufficiency does.

    20+ year mechanic here, rubber undercoating is the worst because it traps moisture and will cause it to rust from the inside out. You should look into woolwax. I've used it for years and it does an amazing job. you can get it in black. It will keep moisture out and self heals.

  • @dave1135
    @dave1135 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    21:28 how I've had good luck getting seized brake line nuts free is to first clean the nut, tube, and exposed threads with a wire brush or wire wheel in a drill. Soak with deep creep or pb blaster then heat the nut with a small propane torch. Then spray with more pb blaster or deep creep. The heat will pull the penetrant into the threads. It should break loose with a good line wrench. If it won't come loose or the nut is rusted to nothing, just cut the line off at the T fitting and remove the nut with a socket and install a new section of nicop line. Nicop is a bit more expensive, but well worth it. It bends and shapes easily without kinking, and will never rust or corrode.

    Gear lube, specifically GL5 gear lube, has sulfur additives which smell terrible. For my manual transmission, I have to make sure that I do NOT use the same oil as the diff. It takes a GL4 gear oil, which does NOT have these additives. The additives in GL5 will eat "yellow metals" like bronze & brass etc. Some transmissions, like mine, have those metals in them. Almost every time I do a transmission fluid change I smell that nasty smell and know that they put the wrong fluid in.

  • @douglasboyle6544
    @douglasboyle6544 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Gear Oils like your GL4 and GL5 grades are designed to operate in systems that put the oil through extreme pressure situations, not pressure like hydraulic systems but from the squeezing between some types of gears (hypoid etc). The additives to meet these requirements have a lot of sulfur in them and it's the sulfur that gives it the rank smell. I used to get covered in 80/90 on the regular when I was working on vehicles in the Army, I developed a fondness for the smell actually.
