My F100's New Lightweight Flywheel Sounds INSANE! Mcleod Aluminum Flywheel and Clutch Install!

[@michaelray1590]

It's great to see someone trying to do something and learning as they go. Don't give up. Don't let the haters get to you. Follow your dreams. Not the money and fame. Stay true to yourself and you will go far in life.

[@jordanpanich]

I would highly recommend using a paint marker on all critical fasteners. Makes it super easy to check if anything has come loose.

[@maxnichols1727]

You learn by mistakes, but Craig, loose bolts!?!? Aaaaaaggghh! Love the truck, McLeod clutches make a difference. I really liked your comments in the video. At 61 I learn something every day, from older and younger. Never give up. By the way, before I bought a Trans jack I made my own out of scrap metal and mated it to a floor jack.

[@CountryBoyGasGarage]

Man it sounds great with open headers! 🤘

I bought a 69 scout because of your channel. One of my dream vehicles. It’s currently in a million pieces and I’ve never worked on a car 😂 it’s required me to learn metal work/body work and some fabrication skills. Thanks for all the inspiration.

You got it man. I started barely knowing how to change a tire. Gotta start somewhere.

Keep up the do it yourself mentality. I just finished the axle flip and c-notch on my 65. Never did one before but you gotta learn sometime. Your work ethic is awesome and your truck is killer.

[@21lt]

Your truck sounds amazing. I will definitely be watching your channel more often. I will be starting a project sometime this coming September and I would love my car to have this kind of performance. Keep the videos coming!

[@timothybrennan3169]

This truck would sound even better with a 3" x-pipe and turn downs. Quickly becoming one of my favorite project trucks next to David Freiburger's C10.

Just keep on inspiring me to do more to my 68 F100. I’m aiming drive up there and cruise with you guys one day.

[@michaelchalk4262]

You really inspire me to work on my own car.. Well done and keep going, I look forward every week.

[@mustangguy7063]

That's a sweet truck. I'm building an 87 with a 351w and your giving me some great ideas to do for mine. Keep up the great work. I was lucky to have some car people in my family but I've learned alot on my own by doing it myself and learning lessons lol

I went all the way back on the F100 and Galaxie(s) and now I’m eagerly awaiting new content. If you ever soft mount that fuel pump or paint your steering column anything but that green, I won’t know what I’m watching!! LOL. Keep up the good work!

[@sparky72]

If you haven’t done the ball bearing mod to the pedal assembly I would definitely recommend it. Mustang Steve sells an awesome kit. Fun afternoon welding project and it really makes the clutch feel nicer. Especially if you replace the z-bar rods with a heim joint based linkage. Makes the whole clutch assembly feel 100 lol

[@michaelskrhak6518]

Hey bud been here since day1 you officially outmoded me and your truck sounds sick!!

[@Lsx_Lo]

we use brightener0 at my work, its meant solely for aluminum but it eats away at dirt too but if your aluminum isn't coated in any sort of protective layer the brightener will burn the aluminum very fast and leave black marks everywhere, the only way to get rid of those is with more brightener, don't let it dire, don't inhale, don't drink, treat it like acid because that's what it is but if you were to fail any of that don't be afraid its nothing too strong... just don't drink it you'll die very very fast lol

[@joeydailey6980]

00:05 i found one of those bikes nest to the garbage when i was little it was dope

[@OtisENGINEuity]

With a light flywheel you might want to upgrade to stiffer valve springs and pushrods as you might end up with valve float with how much more it'll want to rev.

[@Dave_Boyer]

That flywheel is something I’ve been thinking of buying, I checked on Summit, and it’s actually pretty reasonable. I think I’ll be ordering one,

[@obs_community9517]

I love the little horn toot when he’s feeling the clutch lol me and my buddies are the same way I swear

[@rivett40]

I’m really impressed with the aluminum brightening

[@williamhelms9942]

Shifting is a hell of a lot better, and easier with 100% less effort, huh Craig? Something I was asking myself about whydoes Craig remind me of stabbing gears yet going nowhere fast? The plastic shifter bushing replacement with a brass one seems to answer the question for me. You're enjoying a thrash in the truck a hell of a lot more without being exhausted on the way home afterwards, Craig? Answers point to yes, I think I would be be moving out of the house and into the truck too as far as the, "I spend so much time in the truck, I might as well figure a way how to sleep in it!" thing. Good Job, Craig!

[@FordFanatic865]

Awesome video Craig! Trucks looks and sounds badass. Always enjoy watching these!!

[@bryco32]

Fantastic job Young man. Keeping it alive just like generations past.

[@kmnremtp]

I do go on to enjoy these. All them, every single one.

[@bridgercritchlow5558]

The sounds of an old carbureted v8 is unbeatable

[@zane6461]

We should have merchandise something that says, the Craig 909 never going to soft mount his fuel pump LOL

[@morgansword]

Granted Craig it will have more power just for the fact that it takes less to turn less... that said, and not negatively is that mass equals more torque as laws of nature prevail. It sounds crisp and very responsive but the exhaust so close to the cabin is a bit harder to hear a radio, or loose bolts a jingling around.... just saying cause of how much you love your rigs. I think that you nailed what you were shooting for!!

[@cerqinator6116]

Another great video. Love the vids man

[@sethpeters3]

So what was the cause of the oil leak?

[@jimearnest4342]

Man you're truck sounds awesome! I always enjoy your content Craig, keep it coming.

[@SAM-eg7jg]

I noticed nothing as far as quicker revs or (free revs) after my aluminum flywheel install but it was very noticeable on Quicker RPM Deceleration between shifts, I am still reminded by its overall performance value every time i drive it.

Tearing apart and fixing stuff on my truck is always something I wanted to do, only bummer for me in that it's my work truck and is used all but 1 day a week. But I am working on saving money and I'll have some time this summer/fall and I want to tear into it and make it better/cooler

You need to take your truck to the drag strip again and see what it will do now with all the work you put into it.

Did you clean that flywheel off before you installed it because they come with a factory coat to keep them from rusting I’m 21 and also a car enthusiast like you and learned everything I know the same way you did the f100 is bad ass and I can’t wait to see the galaxies done keep up the good work

[@Viktorrhansen]

sounds sick with no headers!

[@79beans347]

I love the aluminum flywheels, I have one on my 347 stroker in my 79 pinto and I had one in a fox l used to have that i converted to a 5.0 from the wimpy 4 banger, but you can most definitely tell that the aluminium flywheel is in it after you use the fat heavy cast iron one because it revs quicker and accelerates faster as well, next get a aluminum driveshaft and you will free up more power between the two that compliment each other really well, I hope that I can finish up my pinto this weekend so I can drive it for the first time but I totally dig your truck, its come a long way since you first started on it and it is badass . I love the idle it sounds sick , do you know the cam specs on it? If you read this long message 🤣 let me know what they are but ill probably just get the heart like always because nobody really reads the long ones 😂🤣

[@leeatkinson8451]

[@johnnymoody2740]

Awesome video 👍

[@melissaweidman3326]

the biggest mistake i find on rigs is people not putting in all the bolt back in i find so many rigs missing a lot of bolts and there is a reason for every bolt in a rig they don't put extra bolts on rigs . i have a friend that is really good at building and fixing rigs just he will leave bolts out , he tells me they are extra bolts that u don't need . then i ask is that y ur rigs drive sideways but he knows it drives me nuts . i have to have every bolt in the rig from the factory . like my 68 chevy it has been sitting for 3 weeks just for bolts i finally found the factory bolts for it . another thing i do is clean the threads on all , use a tap set on everything that way if it is torqued it will torque correctly.
