I began doing what he does. I used to worry about it and still couldn't remember where bolts and nuts went. Lately I've done a number of in depth jobs that might take me a week or so to start putting things back together. I've only got a small leftover parts bin.😊 My grandson, just graduated from aircraft mechanic school and it drives him crazy that I don't make little stick it notes or labels and set each thing aside. That's a good work habit if he's fixing a plane, but I'll chance it on my own car.

Cute story about the crush washer. I was an Avionics tech in the RNZAF (Airforce), my repair was to re-fit a connector on the belly blade type antenna, that had been wiped off by a heavy landing (student pilot or Flying Officer if you like). The connector was also wiped off by the grass heavy landing short of the runway. No problem, simple fix, says the SGT, just take off the inspection panel under the seat reach in and extend the coax cable fit a new connector, and once the airframe guys have fixed the ripped metal fit a new antenna. Now this job is my first on this type of plane. So I follow the instructions, remove the inspection panel and reach in and come out with a handful of mud and grass, so OK I vacuum all that out, again reach in for the cable, got it. Pull it into view, but Its too short. Tell SGT, he tells officer in charge of maintenance, next thing I've got Base C.O and all the 'interested' officers looking over my shoulder, You sure you can't fit it? All eyes on me, "Well I say if I could get better access, I could un-loom it from there and move the coax out a bit and then it should fit" I heard myself say. "GOOD", says the C.O. and a nod from the Chief Flying training Officer. Now I have to say my rank, I was a brand new shiny Aircraftman, in short the lowest of the low with the sole exception of recruit. BUT, because I opened my big mouth, I now had to actually fix the problem, correctly, in military fashion, and following all the correct CAA (FAA equivalent) rules and regulations. Luckily, I had just completed training on how to calculate the number and spacing of rivets and or rivinuts around a patch in the aluminium. So under the pilot's seat I cut a 12 inch square hole for access, drilled and fitted the rivinuts, made a new panel to fill the hole. All good, but this is the military, you can't just cut holes in the internal part of the wing box section, you have to do it on paper first, using the manufacturers diagrams, as a plan and make a "MOD" or Modification plan. So after a month or so of sketch, get approval, send to drawing dept, add many pages of 'how to', and then re-write so a shaved monkey can understand it, adding ten more pages and pictures (sketch, get approval, send to drawing dept) finally I was given the approval to cut the hole. So I cut the hole, mark the places for the rivinuts. Shine my torch into the hole, and run away screaming, laughing and sit in the corner holding my head. This particular airplane was built with pop rivets, visible in the hole I cut, was many kilos (pounds) of pop rivet heads, all floating around inside the wing box section under the pilots' seat, just where the aileron control cables pass and the coax I was looking for. Much longer story short, I had to make three more Modifications two of which grounded the Aircraft type until completed. If anyone cares I'll tell you the type of plane and even now my mods are required for all of the type. After my mods the aircraft are lighter and a little safer. Also there is access to cable for the antenna to be 'wiped' several times more LOL.

The totality of a job like this can overwhelm one when contemplating it. As you have said multiple times, "it's like pealing layers of the onion back" and it truly is. As I watched your progress, the difficulty became just that. It is a long and difficult job, one that comes with the territory of technician's knowledge and abilities. I learned a lot watching this first video. Truly not just as simple as "remove and replace injectors" is it? 😊 The ending of that video was so sweet. Lauren's closing got me a laugh.

I am glad to see you doing an LB7. I own one. My injectors were replaced at around 60k miles under warranty. My truck has 114k on it now. I think GM had a recall on the original injectors. The original injectors had a problem for sure. To anyone who owns a diesel, keep your fuel filter changed and only put diesel in your truck from a high volume supply. I lost my diesel mechanic for health reasons. I have been looking for someone I can trust to perform work on my truck. I live in Atlanta it would be a long drive to your shop that is really too bad. I do not let just anyone work on my truck. I would let you work on my truck. I think that is the greatest compliment I can give you. I love all your videos and have watched all of them. Keep up the great work.

After being at the same park for 11 years were told we were no longer be able to use our camper there because of age of the RV. Like you ,our RV appearance was excellent . We quit traveling and sold our camper and truck. We are now $80,000 to the good and independent of the RV community. We found that a lot of RV parks were becoming to have ridiculous rules and less friendly . . We do miss traveling but now take monthly trips. We are in our late 60s and enjoy doing different excursion's now. So different world today. So sad. Good luck to you and your family they look adorable.

Here is proof why the book says it takes 12.9 hours to remove and replace the injectors on an LB7 6.6 Duramax Diesel engine. Not to mention all the different and often specialized tool needed like the turbo socket used on those stubborn return line fasteners..this is one particular job I personally would never try to do, well worth the funds to have it done right.

If those copper washers are aything like those used on old motorcycle brake systems you can anneal them. Once used they work harden, if reused as is they may not seal. Annealing softens them back to an as new condition. This is done by heating the copper washers red hot and let them cool off. Either air cooled or quenched works. Many times i have had to do this to get a good seal. New replacement washers don't always fit those old lines. Annealing the old is the only way to get a good seal.

Thank you! I didn't know such a tool exists as the bolt extractor socket, I will be buying a set, probably both metric and SAE, personal use. I like how you video and explain in detail.

Back in maybe 1970, I struggled with a fan, shroud, etc. After that, I always cut fan shrouds in half so I could easily remove the top half if I needed to do any work there like a water pump, thermostat, etc. I believe manufacturers started doing that later, after I was done repairing my own cars. Vehicles are made to assemble quickly and sell ASAP, NOT to be worked on later. I forget the exact words I said about auto designers ...

Ray, that torque bit was showing wear, the "husky" extension was beat. You have your own shop, you do not have to worry about tool theft. Time to go through your tools and dump the lower quality and worn out stuff and replace it. Take it off your taxes.

If socket extractor didn't work. You could use Knipex cobra piler. Which design for round stuff. If you turn it, it will grip it tighter. Not like a normal piler. Other brand got it too but i only get to use knipex and it help me alot.

I have done my LB7 injectors twice (stealership also did them twice under warranty). Seal the injector fuel lines with some silicon after installation to prevent water getting in.

Manufacturers say the high pressure fuel lines need replacing but I've never replaced a hpfl and never ever had one leak, just check the mating face on the injector line where it mates with the inlet on top of the injector to see if it has and ridges around it where the nut has been wound down to tightly, all I work on is diesels I couldn't tell you the last time I worked on a petrol engine but whenever I do it makes it feel like I'm on holiday makes a great change.

knowing that you like efficiency, the ac compressor could have just been removed from its mounting and laid upside down on the passenger side battery on a fender mat for padding. And, unless you are going after the cp-3 pump, the alternator didn't have to be removed.....but that is just what I have done many times. if you ARE going after the cp-3 as well, then crack on.

Had similar recently on my valve cover replacement it’s a plastic valve and part was broken. Got it off to replace there was a piece of plastic just small enough to block the oil passage to sump. Long screwdriver poked it through it’s now either in the sump or filter no issues with engine running 😅 1.6tdi CAYC

Great video I can see why you change them all when in there. I have a2003 Ford F250 with the 6.0 had one injector bad on drivers side I replaced them all on thet side. Much easier than on your truck. Cummins is probably the easiest.

I believe the difference in the alternators is the voltage regulator connectors one is 2 pin and one is 4 pin.
