I’m back! The week off allowed me to catch up thanks for being patient. Also we only have a few day left to enter in to the Snap-on tool box. Click here 👉 truckmasterdiesel.com

[@jacobbrooks7262]

I love the garage, hope there is going to be some rebuilds in there that I hope to see.

[@philvictor5537]

Garage is badass. I can’t wait to see the 2post lift if you get one.

[@philvictor5537]

And I hope to see how you will get up on the motor and work on it. Maybe a bigger turbo and some filters with a new tuner.

[@rednecksuburbanidiot3230]

Well if you look at the front of the truck you can see that Ford circled the problem years ago.

[@PSIorDIE]

BDS kits on 8 lug trucks float down the highway, I can ghost ride the Cummins and just let the wheel go on the highway and it keeps straight and rides nice. For that single cab I’d go with a 6 inch long arm kit.

[@c.williamson4437]

Look into a company called Deaver Springs. They will build you a set of leaf springs to whatever height and spring rate you want.

[@donovanchaas4826]

There’s a shop in buffalo called brute spring that offer the same service

[@6.0king]

There's a shop in Jamaica called Jamaican ya leaf springs, look into them.

[@jorrick66]

Paint the flares red, BDS or zone lift, some Baja boss mt tires with some 12 wides minimum, chrome out the grille, and do an axle dump instead of stacks

[@chuckthomas8176]

Make her safe .. and keep the flares .. I like them

[@donaldwilliams6821]

I agree keep the flares adds character

[@dudesons420]

I like the flares, especially since he actually bolted them in!😂 badass

[@OldGriz708]

Everything wrong with a Ford in 16 minutes? This must be part one in a series 😅😂🤣

[@TruckMaster]

😂👍

[@NextLevelTruth]

😂😂

[@zachfowler1410]

I think you should keep it at the height it is 12inches. Just get a new lift.

[@paul_omalley]

Agreed! The look is perfect. Just do it the right way!

[@dawsonfoote5010]

Yeah keep the 12

[@evan1kx125]

Nah, it should come down a bit for sure! It's not 2005 anymore

[@alfredomartinez2615]

If you cleaned and painted the weights you could get at least $2.00 per pound.

[@quintonayers333]

Do a duramax Tahoe swap 🚀

[@007.3l]

Call it a durahoe

[@danc7412]

🤣

[@gideonthomas7953]

How about a YES 😜

[@brannonfrost4286]

Mr.Hammer was a wise gentleman it seems.He knew he'd built that truck a tad bit unsafe in way he lifted it,but if he passed it down to you two,you'd correct all that and make it the best it'd ever been.He passed it to who he knew would keep it close as able to still be "his" truck,yet improve and take great care of it too.An awesome way to compliment all involved.He told YOU TWO how much he thought of you to hand his ride to your hands.Hes smiling down on both of you.

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks for the kind words we really appreciate the great feedback

[@robbieholcombe1213]

I’m a chevy man but that f-350 is a beast you should definitely take that thing to truck shows and have your wife take one of the duramaxs .

[@547Rick]

That is going to be one awesome shop! As for the Ford, definitely make it safe! Even with a 6 or 8 inch lift it will still look very nice!

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks Rick

[@collineddlemon8351]

That's a good way to put it

[@jdatwood7086]

You will love that spray foam! One thing other than the R value is that it really really strengthens a structure big time! My home is framed 2x4 and foamed, my friends place is framed 2x6 and has pink. When he closes the front door you can hear the walls rattle where my house is like a solid stone.

[@stevenferreira8947]

Keep the height also that’s why the truck is so special looking. Do a mcgaugheys lift kit

[@nllerenaTrx]

Breath of fresh air to see down to earth people. Keep on keeping’ on, bro. Love the 6.0h.

[@TruckMaster]

👍👍

[@jamesb.1156]

Josh, consider 2 ceiling fans to blown down the heat thus it will use the concrete as a heatsink during winter time. Great progress.

[@nathanreay7032]

You’re videos always brighten up my whole day bud 😊😊😊😊

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks Nathan!

[@gp500fan]

Whatever you do to make the Ford safe, it'll look bad ass! The shop is also coming along nicely. I really like how you support businesses that are local to your area and feature them on your channel!

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks Richard

[@ericm6725]

You should install correction plates under the front coils to take the bow out of them

[@marklengal9990]

I think the truck is timeless as it is. I agree to upgrade the lift but leave the rest as is for Hammer. The original big foot is still the same and that’s the truck that started it all.

[@TruckMaster]

Great point

[@jarotex]

Remember too, those wheel wells were cut much larger so pulling the fender flares off is not just going to leave bolt holes but probably one heck of rough sawzall cut job lol

[@slowbutloud5050]

Was looking for someone who knew this before I said something.

[@alshegarfi7338]

I really like the flares as well. I’m glad you kept them

[@koltenpetersen4037]

Your the real reason I even come to KZbin anymore. Thank you for the content/entertainment. Your seriously the best.

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks

[@slackersteve2004]

yes make it safe an replace the lift with new 12" lift and get new tires that are the same thats on it, but leave it as it is. no new rims, leave flares on it or remove the stacks etc, once you start changing its visual its no longer hammers truck. u start making it look different an now its ur truck. whatever u do with it i love the story behind it and that its a Ford

[@TruckMaster]

I appreciate the input 👍

[@matty86suk]

Carli suspension, 4” max, 40s on 17s

[@MrGursk12]

The Garage is turning out Amazing!!!

[@rockymtnredneck4888]

Keep the flares! They give it that 90s era styling! ...and room for massive tires.

[@SR-tc9gd]

Man, I want the garage!! Seriously you are doing it right. I’m with ya on everything you want to do to the Ford. Safety First. I like the idea of an 8” lift but it would be nice to drop to that height first to see if you like it.

[@justnsaliga8518]

honestly once the lift(s) are removed i'd personally get slightly higher than factory springs and update front end parts to the new late model truck parts so you'll never have to worry about death wobble and get less agressive tires probably upgrade the brakes as well. but defiantly more so to get a healthy driveshaft angle

[@Hatfield_Country]

Nice garage man. It's gonna be nice working out there in the winter or whenever the temps are cold.

[@ryankajaste4714]

Shop is shaping up sweet! Can’t wait to see you finish up the cummins in there. As for the 6.0, either colour match or black out the front end, anthem 22x12or 14 new tires and a smaller lift

[@TruckMaster]

I’m actually thinking 22’s on the 2nd Gen 👍

[@jamesb.1156]

Mark took a few minutes to call me and discuss the Allison parts supply chain issues and I respect this as a life long mechanic ( retired). I will gladly wait as I am on his Allison transmission list.... thanks again guys!; James from Duluth.

[@NaztyNate]

It's awesome to see you working with so many different companies and trades. I look up to that as a goal for my channel! Keep it comin brother!

[@jkratz1000]

6.0 need good batteries so many issues can originate from weak battery

[@MiguelGarcia-nl3ci]

Ficm issues

[@mattthomsen13]

I would just keep it the way it looks and just make it safe like you want to do. It looks like a very nice truck and it sounds amazing.

[@rickpullins8590]

I agree the flares look badass. Your shops looking amazing Josh.

[@Redsfanatic32]

Oil is very important with the 7.3 and 6.0 powerstrokes. They use the engine oil to fire the injectors. Bad, old, worn out oil can cause a plethora of injector problems. So maybe consider using an oil additive like the hotshots stiction eliminator.

[@rhecest04_34]

I personally would recommend a BDS 8 in coil over, since the truck was originally on 8 inches before the added blocks.

[@robertpabst7501]

Garage is coming together nicely, leave the flares, change out the lift for BDS or Zone, and keep it at least 8". Add new batteries and tires and enjoy it. If you hurry you can bring it here to Florida when you head to the Daytona show.

[@jamesdavenport5464]

That shop is looking good. Spray foam will be worth it in the future. Yeah I would keep them fender flares for now and work on the important issues first.

[@TruckMaster]

👍

[@tripp121283]

I've had trucks without flares and the wheel wells were all rusted. Since I've had trucks with flares, no rust. They might look kinda goofey but they serve a purpose.

[@matthewdooley6485]

Can't wait to see the rebuild of Hammers truck, wow glad you got it home safe. Shops coming along great y'all

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks Matt

[@KoltFin]

Keep the flares and get a 8-12 inch lift. And keep the rims under 20s lol

[@hardass912]

Trying to head to the auction today....so sorry for your loss, god bless you and your family

[@joesnyder7128]

Good choice on the insulation with you living in the north your heating bill will thank you in the winter time!

[@zackzander425]

Bring it down to the 8" height, new tires, ODAWGS S3R Intake, Larger intercooler, KC Stage 2 or 3 10-blade turbo, BD manifolds, BD up-pipes, fuel system upgrade, 2017+ mirrors

[@cecilshannon2586]

If you cycle the key 2-4 times and let the glow plugs shut off it should start a little easier

[@mecanicman66]

The fender flares i just realy love them leave them on the front suspension modify it but the rest of the truck is perfect to me

[@thegreatalberta9189]

Ya make it safe even if it’s a little lower. I would say put the same tires back on it. Keep the flares but get them paint matched

[@Krause_Garage]

If you can keep the same height get a better/safer lift kit. If you can’t find a 12” lift kit go with the biggest you can find. Replace the tires and check the brakes out and replace whatever’s necessary to make that truck safe and drivable. You don’t have to go all out because I think it’s best to keep the truck as close to Hammers original design as possible to keep his legacy alive.

[@calvinh.8882]

Keep the fender flairs for sure. To me look great and they help keep the truck clean and free of rock chips.

[@TruckMaster]

👍

[@ramsandrzr3706]

Wow that SP tools jump pack is amazing all you have to do is put it near the battery not even hooked it up and it started the truck right up. Need to get me one of those 😂🤣😂

[@TruckMaster]

😂😂😂👍

[@builtbyme]

There goes the man. Are we almost ready for some content on the cummins build? Garage looking great to.

[@TruckMaster]

Once that garage is done it’s go time 😎

[@builtbyme]

@@TruckMaster sweet im excited for it and for you and the Mrs. Gonna be a action packed summer for sure.

[@dirtynorthjerz]

Flares colored matched, front bumper plastic color matched, id say 6" lift would be a good height

[@bernhard8540]

You guys are so wholesome and friendly and down to earth even my wife got watching :)

[@nicfrieler1305]

We sprayed our house and garage 35 years ago. Definitely saves You money. I have a sink in the garage where We keep 2 cars and just the heat from the engines keeps it around 35 degrees when it was 20 below zero this winter, new insulated garage doors going in tomorrow the old ones only have 1/2 inch insulation in them.

[@palmerjones2132]

I love the way the fender flairs look on the truck they look super clean

[@Riles-be5bd]

You should keep the 12 inch but put 4 mudgraps

[@mjcpirate1]

Color match the fenders and rhino line them since your in mi. Maybe color match the grill and bumber as well? Sweet rig

[@trevorgottschalk5396]

Josh get rid of the aftermarket oil filter cap. Only run Motorcraft filter and cap. That cap is not filtering your oil! Also starting a powerstroke with dead batterys kills FICM's and injectors Love to channel

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks Trevor

[@jroch41]

Garage comment: not big enough! Ford comment: IMO fix it to make it safe then sell or auction with donation to veterans foundations or other group your father-in-law would approve. It would do him proud, I think. Of course, discuss with family first. Glad you're back!

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks!

[@babybuluga1554]

Keep the height at 10” minimum with same size tires. Definitely new lift needed. Keep those fender flares! Maybe color match the bumpers and mirrors red. Keep grille and flares black. Get AMP power steps and black wheels. Keep all lift components black.

[@justinv8576]

I think the flares would look good painted to match. I'd like to see an install and review of BDS Suspension. They have an 8" long arm kit that fits 38" tires. BF Goodrich mud terrains would look good.

[@selders591]

Great job on your channel brother. As a veteran myself I salute you. Watching your garage build and it looks great. I know you own and do a lot of things and upgrades to Duramaxs hopefully you’ll include some Powerstroke Fords soon as I am the 2nd owner of a ‘06 F250 4x4 with a 6.0. People shoot down the 6.0 but it has been great to us.

[@TruckMaster]

I just got a new turbo for the powerstroke I can’t wait to get this video done

[@surfjat15]

Even through all the hate this trucks getting i mean. come on , i know time passes styles change what’s cool becomes stupid but if you think back in the early/mid 2000s everyone would have been like “damn that’s badass!” it’s just American and hilarious and almost like a piece of nostalgia

[@TruckMaster]

This is so true

[@KJR-uv6or]

Hammer gave you the truck to take care of it because he trusts you. So if that means putting a safer lift an new set of wheels on it he wouldn’t care because your making it safe and more reliable!

[@TruckMaster]

👍

[@DPelicanGaming]

the flares can be removed by a good body shop the holes can be patched with a mig and the paint blended. just depends what u really want

[@wayneszalay8485]

I had a 2006 f350 6.0 it was a beast. I miss that truck every day it was red. I had a 8in pro com long arm lift that cleared 38s and the back was all springs not blocks or spacers besides the factory blocks. Those fender flares also require you to cut the wheel wells out.

[@dieselreapers4328]

If it was me I'd take the flares off, but forsure re do the lift, take the stacks off and do a axle dump just do some modern stuff

[@WBOS72]

Excellent choice going sprayfoam, pricey but worth it.

[@TruckMaster]

I’m broke now 😂

[@WBOS72]

@@TruckMaster you will be warm working! Line up the truck builds!

[@triggersqueeze8317]

Oil cooler. Mishimoto radiator. Coolant filter. Switchback mirrors. Batteries for sure. The 6.4 starter is a good idea too. It spins faster.

[@henryharrison3988]

Those fender flares look awesome. Would be crazy to take them off

[@justinryan3508]

Garage is looking really good. Yeah I think the Powerstroke would still look good if you lowered it a couple inches with a new lift, it does have alot of room in the wheel wells.

[@okiedokie3845]

Color match the flairs and they'll look way better anyway. Block stacks are scary situation, had a double 5 stack on 89 suburban that one slipped out. Definitely not a good situation but truck will still be a beast a few inches shorter. Good luck with it all, them 6.0's sound amazing!

[@seanmuehlhauser9612]

With the fender flares you can take the extra lift out and run just the 8" and still clear the tires you have right now. Thats what I'm doing with mine but a flat bed with the big fender flares or a fiberglass 2020 kit from McNeil racing. Check out that McNeil kit

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks

[@MrR1rider1]

I installed cut out flares on my 04 powerstroke. Cutting my truck was the hardest thing I ever did but they look good on the right set up

[@IvanLopez-vm6fr]

Beautiful truck, I would definitely remove the flares and upgrade the box and front clip to a 2011+

[@jaywheeler8207]

I like the flares! The two colors red and black look awesome together!

[@gavinj.8330]

When you get to doing the preventative maintenance, use OEM Motorcraft oil & fuel filters. Also, I am guessing it currently has an aftermarket oil filter cover on it. Get rid of that and make sure you get a new OEM oil filter cover that is the correct height for the OEM filter!

[@sg255010]

PTM Flares, chrome grill and BDS lift(I think they make a 10" for that year). Someone else mentioned axle dump the exhaust I like that, remove the stacks. Wheels and tires I would do FUEL cast(any model) 22-24" MT Baja ATZ p3 rubber 👌

[@codygadd5022]

Just take out the puck the spring will straighten up a bit. Those trucks will always have a slight bow in the spring . Should drive a hell of a lot better also

[@jokermaxh3169]

The garage is looking amazing man god bless and for the Ford I saw 8in lift and maybe just some other updates for it it’s needed I think some fuel assault rims would look awesome on that truck

[@TruckMaster]

I like your thinking

[@mikestrucks]

Nice video guys ! I like the flares on the ford. But the lift is definitely dangerous 😅 your garage is really nice 👌🏻

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks

[@shemwhitehead9517]

Why Duramax? I met a guy who bought five 6.0 Powerstrokes to start his asphalt business. The business itself was doing great, but because those Powerstrokes were always breaking down he nearly went bankrupt. So he sold them at a loss and bought a used LB7 Duramax with over 200k miles, and never had an issue with it. He now runs Duramaxes exclusively.

[@TruckMaster]

I just enjoy the reliability, looks and sound 👍

[@kevinniski1982]

Colormatch the flares if u have to keep em. Color matched grille and top bumper cover. Lower it down to a 6 inch lift with a set of 20x12 or 22x12 on a 37. Tone down the aussie stacks......cant wait to see the final product

[@yourfavoritelawnguy2722]

Looks like they put 12 in lift springs on the 8 in kit and with the those trailing arms not being long enough the axle looks rolled which explains the slinky springs

[@v1nc3mc]

Funny, I actually had the same guys do my spray foam Lol. Works great.

[@v1nc3mc]

Although he had a Ford at the time. Got stuck in my yard and had to call a tow truck, so maybe that's why he switched up Lol

[@creativetradesman6833]

Address the safety issues for sure. It’s definitely a beauty as it sits, but I think a 4” to 6” lift would be more practical. Mr. Hammer sounded like a hard working American farmer and a family guy. I think he would want this truck used and appreciated in memory of his legacy. It would be a lot easier to use more with a smaller lift.

[@michaelparker5814]

I had the same guys do blown in in my attic I've saved so much on heating and cooling already the money I spent was worth it plus there a great company

[@terrywilliams5676]

I think an 8 inch lift Keep the flares and the wheels Nice to have you back

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks Terry

[@michaelcangley1868]

Glad to see back! Glad to see you didn't take too long of a break. Love the shop and certain you will also. I would trade the Ford on a Duramax. I have a question not related to this video. I am ready to start to modify my Duramax but don't like that all of the pipes being made from 304 stainless. Especially when thinking of up and down pipes. Of all the stainless grades, it is the least tolerant to high temperature. 309 or 311 seem like a lot better choice. How does it hold up in the long long run, say 200,000 miles?

[@TruckMaster]

I personally never had a problem it look into the brand JAMO exhaust they have better material

[@chrisregister1335]

Call Trevor at PMF Suspension and order the rear traction blocks. Traction bars, lift block, and 5 degree indexing for driveshaft angle all in one unit. They are custom building mine for my 03 F250. Should be getting them in a few weeks.

[@teslahigh9729]

It had a smoke switch and stage 3 injectors at one point in its life. Weather or not they were left with the 03 turbo and it had a sct tuner when it was built. But it did have different factory style steps on it not the chains and the 9-11-01 magnet was on the door vs the fender badge but when i saw it i thought it looked familiar. I'd say leave the flares and I would do the same lift just not the way it is currently done.

[@XanMan1980]

I’m a huge hater on fords but the powerstroke is officially my favorite truck on the channel. Can’t wait to see you redo the lift. I personally want to see it stay around 12”

[@TruckMaster]

I’m with you on that 😂👍

[@tadheath5856]

Safety first for sure you guys!!! Do I hear a 12" skyjacker ?? YES YES YES!!!!...lol I think it needs to stay the same height too with the right parts...great video!!!!!!! LOVE THE GARAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks!

[@normanperry9807]

Love your work & projects. My daily driver is an ´18 Silverado 1500 LTZ. My summer fun car is an ´08 Mustang GT. My next truck before an electric would be a Duramax or Powerstroke V8 depending on body designs of both at that time. I think making your Powerstroke safe for all to enjoy would be a 6” lift with a less aggressive tire tread on the same rims? Keep the fender flares and color match everything above the bumper to body color. Still a great eye catcher & your wife could enjoy some alone time with Dad’s truck & memories

[@braaap5.7]

After watching this, new 8- 12” total lift. New Nitto ridge grabblers or something like that same exact tire size it has now, keep the same rims. Get some nice running boards that flip down when you open the door and get rid of the chains maybe. Idk it’s kinda cool but a little ghetto lol. And maybe 2 piece driveshaft or something to help with the u joints for that thing. It’s gonna eat them I think

[@davesinka3374]

I worked with hammer he was one of the best fabricators I have worked with

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks Dave!

[@ericsanders9365]

Hey do a 6.4 starter upgrade on that powerstroke. It helps drastically!

[@jakerisner4139]

I didn't comment before but if you wanted to get rid of the flares, you could replace them with more low profile factory looking flares. Another option is just to paint match the flares on it. Help get rid of the 90s look. I dig it and would hate to change up too much out of respect for your wife as it was her dad's truck.

[@mitchmoran8656]

Definitely keep it at 12in high and get similar or same tires. Maybe color match the flares if anything
