Nice score!

That back bolt sucks to get. Luckily, I had this Titan 1/4 micro ratchet that worked better than any other ratchet I had including all my hinge and offset ones. I had to use a piece of tape to put the bolt in the socket to put it back on. It’s a pain, but I got it.

Busted both towing car to AK. Great video- good shots and tight narrative. Thank you

Second Bracket Nut: First challenge i had was to see it. The Original CC filled that gap so much it was very difficult to see the second nut. Once i could see it, the best path for me to get to it was from above. I used a 15mm wrench. I had to reach around the right of the exhaust manifold and was just able to get it lose. Then it just took a little time to loosen it enough that i could hand turn it. With putting it back on, the replacement CC i have was not as big as the original so i was able to have that 2nd nut started, but loose, and got the CC in place and nuts started on the manifold.

Hi your rims are 18x8.5 ?

i prefer the round toe, instead of the moc toe. thanks for the review

Do you clean and condition the boots throughout the year?

Click😂😂😂😂

Didn’t need any spacers?

Get a new pair, sometimes it's good to try a new pair. Maybe donate them to someone who can get them resole and use them.

World can't run without tradies like you.

I had a b!tch of a time getting the harness out of the way and accessing the forward screw....and the best solution came from using a finger ratchet

I have no problem servicing my own commercial van because it's so spacious and organized inside. But I have to become a clock smith to service my family SUV since everything inside is packed! By the way, I'm envy diesel mechanics for not using the stands at all times.

As a pro-carpenter, I started my journey from sweeping floors and pinned at the mitre saw. And after 9 years, I'm a licensed carpenter can build a house from foundation to the final interior finishing, and able to lead small team. Also, I have decided to become a self-taught mechanic because the mechanic in my area like using very rough cheap labour and almost messed up my light commercial van. So I started from reading manufacturer's repair manuals, studying similar models to my van, watching other mechanics tutorial videos, and so far has completed the following tasks: 1, oil & filter change 2, ATF change and valve body cleaning 3, Rear screen wash unclog and spray nozzle refitting 4, Serpentine belt and tensioner replacing 5, Drum brake rebuild with brake adjustment (the mechanic warped my old drum causing very uneven wear on the shoes and side-vibrating wheels) 6, Disc brake service and check 7, Radiator upper tank crack temporary fixing By the way, my commercial van has a petrol engine but the layout is very similar to a heavy diesel truck and its inside is very spacious for tools.

Ariat refurbishes their boots by resoling, etc for $100

Have you done the upper cats?

I have a f150 with a 5.0 engine and it’s been a bugger with an without the tool After two frigging days an two different special tools no luck but I will try your method tomorrow of starting it on the bottom of the large pulley

kzbin.infok39TAQUGhpo?si=WKTSlaST4xnGUxbm inspired me mam just cant face the cam yet

I got a 07 Silverado, the new body style, thing wont quit, 287k miles and still going strong

Got two and half years as a GM/Cummins Diesel Tech. Worn 7 days a week, rain, mud, snow, diesel fluids, etc. Leather finally gave out, never conditioned or babied so more than likely my fault. HIGHLY RECOMMEND, extremely comfortable, wedge soles where/are still mint. 165 lbs not a big boy so wear varies obviously.

Where you at in illinois bud? Im in Aurora

It all depends on who you work for from my experience. Dealerships vs non-dealerships. I’m a tech at kenworth and they would rather you be a “master kenworth tech” since it’s their training.I don’t get paid anymore for ase certs. But no such thing as too much knowledge! Congratulations!

Haha, 2 grills, 1 truck. 😂 That should've been the title of the video. I know this is old, but how did the 1500 grill look with the hood?

The cat. Bracket bolt, go in from the top put a 15mm wrench on the bolt, put a crowbar through the opening in the manifold, use the crowbar to turn the wrench

Thorogood does have a pull on boot never had them but I imagine scene those lasted 3 year the pull on might last the same amount of time

Where did u get the replacement converter? Great video and did it turn the light off

Could the moisture have come from the air compressor?

If I were you, I'd get new ones as you mention pros and cons of various styles. Resoling would require you to be committed for another 3 years? And while thats great marketing for thorogood, I'd move on. You could always come back to them. Furthermore, do you realize you could sell them on eBay and get big bucks?

Nice to see some new content. Im not into the chrome either. It clashes with the rest of the vehicle, black might look better

What did you notice about fuel economy? Curious because they spent all that R&D to produce lower MPG and literally ruined thousands of trucks...

Clean looking TJ!

How did you install tha front chrome bumper do you have a video ?

Dang dude mine are wore out after 4 months

Thank You 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Can You Get One From The Junk Yard And Use That One Without Having To Getting It Programmed

I had three pairs of Thorogood boots resoled at a local shop this year and they are like new again

im coming up on 2 years in my thorogoods, was planning on resoling them when they wear out. i think you should get it done you’ll probably get another 3 years out of em. but if you’re not in love with them and want to keep trying different boots i tried on some slip on danner boots the other day in the store and they seem like a thorogood/blundstone hybrid they seemed pretty solid and comfortable too. around the same price, american made and seems to be a good future work boot

Resolve

For the sake of this video and your channel, it would be fun to see them resoled and see how much more life you can get from them, but it’s also not cheap either. Whatever you decide they are awesome boots! Best of luck!!

I'd be curious to see how they come back after a full clean and re-sole. Not sure if it's worth it compared to a brand new pair though.

I think you should retire them and move on instead of paying to have them resoled. Put your money on a new moc soled boot instead. Good luck.

if you like them have them resole them They could look real good with some work as well. One thing I learned with work boots is the breaking in transition from a boot that knows your feet to one that does not can be trying to say the least. Even just to ease into a new pair when you wear them a few days, and the old one a few days until the break in period is done. Just my thoughts. Not like you wont wear them after that anyway from time to time. If you decide to get rid of them later bring them to Goodwill or some other place like that. Some poor guy or a kid just starting his first job could use them.

Retire them.

I bought mine from Detroit Axel on Amazon. I got two front lower control arms for like $135 and they came with those new bushings already on them.

I currently have this problem with p0420 i bought a vat from amazon but the light turned back on same code what cat aftermarket is recommended for this vehicle?

You have the crappiest music EVER ! Bad choice of "music" = BAD video.

Hey how’s it going man? Great video, just had a quick question. I’m looking to get into the diesel mechanic trade but I don’t really have the time to go to school, I kinda just need to start working. I know I’d start out at the bottom which I don’t mind but do you think I’d be able to get hired without going to a tech school?

After replacing it did you try it at 70 mph or more
