The more smaller projects like this boost the confidence little by little. With all the KZbin channels and forums. There ain’t a thing a guy with mechanical inclination can do. Stay humble. Got my sub and like dude. I try fix my truck when it needs it

[@thisoldhooptie]

Thank you, that's exactly how I feel 👍

[@Coalbucketcd91]

Thanks for pointing out the mistake with the seal. I'm getting ready to replace mine,and I would've never gave that a thought. Thank you.

[@thisoldhooptie]

I hope my mistake helps out. A little home work goes a long way when trying something new. Good luck with your project 👍

[@stevelassetter6954]

I like the fact you keep it real no BS! Your truck is looking so good watching your video on how to replace your dash inspired me to order one from LMC and replace mine! Thank you for doing the videos it’s helped me a lot!

[@thisoldhooptie]

Thank you for joining me on this journey. Good luck with your project👍

[@stevelassetter6954]

Thank you!. I got the new Dash i know you did a video on painting your new dash and how you prepped it.but I can’t seem to find it in your videos. I am old and blind so maybe I missed it can you re post ? Love the videos keep them coming!😃👍🏼

[@thisoldhooptie]

The only thing I would do differently is if you are using spray cans instead of 1k clearcoat use the spray max 2k clearcoat. I used clearcoat on the center parts over the color shift. It's a few dollars more but hardens faster and is an all around better product. I will be back on the obs truck videos in a couple months. Here you go 👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZaQfpiAgMmKkMk

[@claytoningram1333]

So cool you showed that mistake. It definitely happens and don’t always trust the guy at the counter and bring your parts to the store. “If” you have them on hand

[@thisoldhooptie]

Thank you 😁 I agree. Keep moving forward 👍

[@nonameisthename138]

Nice work brother, the truck us coming along very nicely.. 👍

[@thisoldhooptie]

Thank you 👍

[@juaquinramirezjr9445]

Your videos are helpful. Keep posting on them 1500 1995 Chevy. I have a 1995

[@thisoldhooptie]

I will be working on the c1500 soon as I paint the s10. Couple more months then I plan to work on air suspension, keyless start, ls swap, and more on the c1500. Thanks for watching 👍

[@fishpony1211]

Awesome. Going to be doing this as well since over the weekend i blew the rear end in the c1500. So sad!

[@thisoldhooptie]

It happens, atleast its an easy job with the right parts. Dirty but easy 👍

[@antneee8041]

W vid, common projectlife W

[@thisoldhooptie]

Thanks i think. 😁 I Gotta ask what is double W brackets?

[@mikeperry9134]

There is a bushing you buy with the Tri seal in case the yoke is rusty or has a really bad groove. Seriously it’s no yoke.

[@thisoldhooptie]

No yoke huh 🤣 👍

[@piersonmcmillin6481]

PRO TIP: make sure you can get your fill plug out before you take anything apart. that should be the first thing you make sure you can get apart. That way if you cant get it off you can at least drive it to someone that can

[@thisoldhooptie]

Im guessing due to not ever seeing salty roads mine came out and went back in easy. Learning as I go with some of this stuff. Thank you for taking time to help out 👍

[@piersonmcmillin6481]

@@thisoldhooptie i live in a place where even newer vehicles get crazy amounts of rust. Our rust prevention is just to not drive

[@thisoldhooptie]

Scary thought. I guess thats just as bad as the million mosquitoes and wet heat 90 percent of the year where I am. Have a great weekend 😁

[@huggi3z08]

I'm doing my Colorado I did the marks but not on the bolt for preload, now I am trying to wing it and not over or under do it ugh

[@thisoldhooptie]

Good luck 👍

[@chris.navy-vet]

What was the part number of the MasterPro seal you got the second time around?

[@thisoldhooptie]

The link for the seal i used is in the description. .

[@jameswelch7516]

Good job

[@thisoldhooptie]

Thank you 👍

[@jongriffith4556]

Should have replaced the transmission tail shaft seal for drive shaft yoke at the same time. Never know when the seal may start leaking

[@thisoldhooptie]

I would have but since its not leaking im waiting till it gets swapped out later this year with the 5.3 engine. 👍

[@jameswelch7516]

How many videos do you have out

[@thisoldhooptie]

I think around 40, hopefully the new ones are better then the old. 😁

[@Solo_creations97]

What size bolt

[@thisoldhooptie]

Which bolt are you referring too?

[@321homewrecker]

I'm not the expert, but when you replace that seal and put back on the pinion nut you're supposed 2 put that nut back on 2 the exact specifications. I believe it's 15 or 30 "Inch pounds" NOT foot lbs. Because those old box chevys have a crush sleeve in the pinion. That's very important!!!

[@thisoldhooptie]

You may be right, im am definatly not the expert 🤣. Here is what is did, i counted the threads showing on top and bottom of the nut then market them before removing. Then when replaced I made sure it was the same. Nut was tight after and no leaks since replaced. The truck has been driven and parked many times since with no leaks. Seems to have done the trick.

[@321homewrecker]

@@thisoldhooptie yea I did the same on my last truck and totally ruined the rear end. I wish I was more knowledgeable on these things, you just learn from trial and error? I see you just do it! And that's what really intrigues me, I feel I procrastinate 2 much on doing these things but when I do shit hits the fan when with my positive mind set hahaha.

[@thisoldhooptie]

@@321homewrecker I always try to be positive, I also spend alot of time reading and watching other channels who know way more then me about things I'm unsure of. Once I feel I understand what is being done and the possible issues, I give it a go. I am fully aware that if I screw up it will cost me doing it twice. I really enjoy seeing what can be done in my garage. The fact that we have KZbin, Google, and things like Chatgpt make diy so much easier. I dont think there is anything wrong with paying for work, I am curious as to what I can and can't do. Nothing like trial by fire 🔥 👍

[@321homewrecker]

@@thisoldhooptie yea that's awesome though, nothing like doing things right especially when you are doing it all yourself!

[@thisoldhooptie]

@@321homewrecker I agree, sometimes that take a try or 3 😉 👍

[@georgemoller2206]

Probably a better idea to use gray RTV on the outside of the seal (where it comes into contact with the pinion flange).

[@thisoldhooptie]

Thanks for the tip, I'll keep that in mind when I do my tahoe later this year.👍
