Not a bunch of extra filler, just the pertinent details including charging, well done.

[@brandoncuts82]

Best videos for DYI mechanic work 👌 I love this guy and his attention to detail and thought out explanation.

[@NTromb]

And if you live in and around the rust belt always a good idea to put anti-seize on the lower shock bolt as well as your wheel studs

[@torkd14]

I just replaced the front shocks on my Silverado 1500 4x4 but it has a 2” leveling kit on the front. I had to put the truck on the ground with wheels on to get the shock bolt far enough through the top. Am I going to rip these shocks apart when the truck goes over big bumps? They don’t seem long enough.

Wowser. This guy is the best when it involves needless babble. He has no needless babble. Just the facts ma'am. Badass DIY sir!

So my 06 silverado 1500 single cab WT has springs too...what do?

[@kennethwood713]

nice and to the point, no dumb ass music, no Entro of trucks doing burn outs ect.

[@travharrell1713]

Why didn't you put the second nut back on the top of the shock?

[@jason8507]

nice and to the point, just bought this stuff today

[@slammedb18a1]

What's up with the springs?

[@steveh8958]

Great concise video. What make/model of locking pliers are those? I'm having trouble finding ones that can fit in there.

[@mynamemeanspeace]

Champion!

[@AngelHernandez-lv7xy]

My 2004 Chevy Silverado has coilers is that normal?

[@stelthcamo357]

I just put brand new shocks on my truck Is shakes your gutts out on interstate and I can feel every bump on road what can it be

[@steveseaback7305]

I have a 2002 chevy 1500 and it has a spring and bolts from the bottom

[@Owenwatkins-oc6xk]

Thank you guys for the great videos! You've been extremely helpful to me!

[@jeffwetzel220]

Where are the springs?

[@Derek-Warren]

U can do it without the springs just gonna have less room to work but same process

[@Luis-ql3mm]

Thank you very much, Thank's to your video I save 700 dollars 💵

[@steelisthemeal]

This video is perfect

[@wmr.8.149]

Thanks for the help 👍

[@El_R97]

Does this work for a 2004 gmc sierra

[@vacaloca2335]

Are u supposed to tighten the top nut all the way while lifted up or when you lower it?

[@sccrdelic89]

That must be a 4x4 version because on my 05 Silverado reg 2wd the design on the bottom uses 2 much smaller bolts that are put in vertically. Torqued to 18ft lbs I later found out. I should of rewatched the vid the same day before breaking the bolts☹️

[@croftpydycroftpydy533]

what wrench size for top nuts please? real good video thanks

[@kylegraham3590]

15 mm

[@kylegraham3590]

14 mm for the new shock. My old was 15mm new 14 mm

[@cesarbeltran8691]

Great advise

[@csb772]

My 02 Avalanche had the same Gabriel shocks. Wonder if Chevy was using them stock that year.

[@BrendanOkeefeMusic.]

I’m in trouble. I can’t find the veeer-icle 😮

[@sidneymeyer9014]

Your awsome!

[@Derek-Warren]

Why are all the cars they work on always so rusty

[@v8foraheart884]

So what happens if you over torque the top stud

[@mclainpoole3729]

id imagine youd just ruin that bushing much faster than if it were properly torqued

[@steelisthemeal]

Try to avoid doing that

[@duckmyass]

Where are the front springs?

[@CarlosRamirez-ij8mo]

What if you don’t have pound measurer?

[@prestonlovaasen5444]

I know this comment is a year old but harbor freight sells torque Wrenches for fairly cheap that will get the job done

[@JohnJohn-cd7lm]

What is torque spec for rear shock bolts?

[@nickhale117]

Good n tight

[@v8foraheart884]

[@cotyleavitt4317]

Where's the coil over lmao.

[@prestonlovaasen5444]

These trucks use torsion bar front suspension

[@buttsnorkeler9756]

charge it up? lol wut

[@AD-nn7vh]

this video does not cover shocks in side of spring

[@cotyleavitt4317]

I'm almost certain he did this wrong. My silverado front shocks are not like that at all. That goes in the middle Of a spring in mine

[@johncarlos7810]

My 06 crew 4x4 has just the shock. I think it may have to do with the torsion suspension.

[@MELLOWMADNESS88]

@@cotyleavitt4317 mine is a 2wd also and I think it's pretty much the same just unscrew the 2 nuts on the bottom and the shock still comes out the bottom only difference is you have less room to work with most of these guys have 4wd trucks the rest of us lil guys have 2wd loll

[@WestVirginiaMountaineers]

This is the rear not the front

I need magneride shocks for 1500HD 2003
