Very well done. Great information thanks from. Sc

Thanks!!

500$ what a steal !

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Yeah, that'll never happen again.

[@randyrose2626]

You need to call the truck the HAWKSTER! Good show!

I told him you said so.

Nice.

[@jeffjohnson2116]

you had asked in a video if this was a late 99' or early 99'.. this truck is a late 99' , the difference in them is the air intake on a early 99' pulls off the wheel well and the late pulls of the front by the drivers side headlight.. lol I have an early and a buddy has a late. I changed my air filter systemic 03'

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Got it, thanks for the info!

[@hoists1829]

Awesome video👍👍👍

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Thank you 👍

The 08+ mirrors are A LOT better for visibility, best upgrade I did on my 04.

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

I've considered them. Love the way they look.

[@ts6141]

@@ProjectTimeGarage got tired of waiting for some and got new ones from 1A Auto

[@TheMoparGarage]

Isn’t it funny how far mirror viability has come over the past 15-20 years? One of those things you take for granted until you get in an older truck.

[@63jeepj20]

Been looking at this upgrade on my 99 after smacking a snow marker with my passenger mirror while up camping.

[@richardbarkley9909]

Bet a GOOD PDR PRO could get that dent out of the right Supercab door.

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Welp, we're gonna find out what kind of PDR Pro I am most likely. Spoiler alert: I'm not gonna be a good one.

[@Lonewolf23-26]

That ol girl had the excursion rims on it!33 12.5 looks really good I think these are in my excursions future too, only going with nitto terra or ridge grapplers love them on my Cummins been running them for awhile.

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

I had some Terra Grapplers a few years ago. Really liked them.

[@Lonewolf23-26]

@@ProjectTimeGarageI live in the north east and I’ve really liked the way they handle snow and ice!

[@danielbenyon6390]

I had 12 inch wide rims on my old Bronco , ... Trust me when I say ... Don't do it ! , hydroplaning in slushy snow at traffic speeds will damn near make you dirty your short's ! Keep it around 10 inches wide , and you'll always have clean short's .....

[@matthewconery450]

I know this is a year old.. just found your channel. I am wondering what nerf bars you are running for those trucks.. looking for one for my 99 extended cab... keep up the videos!

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

They are N-Fab bars.

[@packingbone1953]

A lot of good info! Love the 7.3 videos

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

More to come!

[@unclemarksdiyauto]

I Don’t even know what wheels and tires outside the shop you are talking about, Brian. Some great steering column tips. I remember that shifter video issue. Your tire hypnosis video still has me amazed! As for a name? I am not good at the. How about “oL Red”?

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Love it, thanks Uncle Mark!!

[@danielbenyon6390]

I think a good name would be ... Bessy

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Good stuff. I'll tell the owner. Thanks!

[@Popeye85]

If my 2001 250 with V10 Triton which I think has the same transmission as the 7.3 rolls just a bit after being in park do I need to go in my column ? I've been calling this truck Free Bird in my head gotta love Skynyrd

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

That really sounds like the parking pawl in the transmission is missing some teeth.

[@BabakPA]

Rose Red🌹❤️

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Cool, thanks!!

[@TheMoparGarage]

This thing is really coming along! I’m still getting over the fact that it was $500. Side note, those door panels are an infinitely better design than a 2nd Gen Dodge. It’s the little things 😂

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Yeah, they really did do a good job on the panels. I'm about to get into some 2nd Gen Dodge panels myself.......

[@TheMoparGarage]

@@ProjectTimeGarage looking forward to it! I guess for some reason poor door panel design (and poor quality of most other things) hasn’t stopped me from owning like 15 of them 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

@@TheMoparGarage Eh, poorly designed vehicles is where I feel most at home.

[@jeffreypinder9398]

Will you do PDR on the pax side metal of the cab? The paint doesn't look damaged from a distance. Good info, you def know Ford systems and their quirks.

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

The door just got replaced, but yes, we will try and do something to the cab corner. I'm no body man for sure, but I think we can make it look better. Stay tuned!

[@chriswithrow3107]

In the beginning gesturing at the door panel I semi-consciously thought you were instructing with a banana as a pointer. Good call on testing the mirrors right after you plug em in. What brand are these, if you recommend them?

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Well, I've used worse as a pointer...... So far so good on the mirrors. I put a pink in the video description with a link to them. As far as brand.... China

[@chriswithrow3107]

@@ProjectTimeGarage hey can you add your 2nd video link for your shifter repair, in top right corner? 14:31 or so.

[@ts6141]

@@chriswithrow3107 1AAuto has some good mirrors, personally I think going with the 08+ is the way to go, more visibility and overall they look better.

[@chriswithrow3107]

@@ts6141 I realized a few seconds into this video I would prefer these over the rectangular mirrors, but I'll smoke the lenses or find mirrors with them already smoked. The rectangular mirrors don't do it for me, too much contrast with the 99+ body style.

[@kenroberts7106]

with the 20" rims 35's would look better just my opinion i prefer more meat to my ride and less bling! sorry I ment 37's

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Yeah, I run 35s on my truck too. The truck in this video belongs to my buddy.

[@Popeye85]

Tires and rims look good love the mirrors but I want to stick with my simple ones I think but I learned a lot thanks for the update. I wanted to ask where is a good place to order the bolts for factory running boards I got a set from a friend but he didn't keep the bolts and I have some tube style bars that just sit too low in my opinion

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

The mounting hardware is nothing special. They're basically just steel U-Nuts. I'd go with maybe 3/8 U-Nuts and 3/8 bolts, maybe 2 or 2.5 inches long.

[@Popeye85]

Should I be worried or just wait to see what happens? I don't see any issues with the transmission it seems to perform great and shifts good and hard it will snatch you in the seat going to second and you feel it pretty good going to third as well

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

@@Popeye85 It's just a safety issue, really. The parking pawl won't affect shifting at all. I wouldn't be afraid to drive it, just afraid it would roll away and cause some issues that way. As long as you remember the parking brake, I'm sure it'll be fine.

[@Popeye85]

Thanks always thankful for your insight this is my first super duty and I can tell you know these trucks from front to back so again thanks for all your help I hope you won't mind more questions in the future lol

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

@@Popeye85 No worries. They really are good trucks.
