    Hey Matt. The key to success with POR15 is in the prep. Clean/degrease & metal prep. Some people don't prep it correctly leading to failure. If you prep it right, POR15 is good stuff. Oh, and don't POR15 anything that you want to remove later because it will make that very difficult. Nuts, bolts, housings, covers, etc.

    Matt, I gotta tell ya, I thought that cab transfer was gonna go bad. You and I are a lot alike. I also work alone and am in the middle of moving over the body of a 74 Super Cab onto the frame of a fully restored 79 F250 4X4. Man, I have done some sketchy stuff so I am right there with ya!! I used POR15 and have been happy but I sprayed a clear coat on it too late which resulted in the clear coat peeling off, but the POR15 is solid. I started 7/1/23 and my next step is moving the cab over and reconditioning the inner fenders and radiator support before she goes in for a Coyote. I've learned a lot and I'm happy to share if you need anything. Keep making the videos! I'm loving watching them!

    I was just putting leaf springs in my F100, interesting way that you removed and took off the bed. The method of using an engine lift to remove an 8 ft bed is rather cumbersome, I may have to try your method next time it needs to be removed, but fingers crossed for now. Rivet removal fun stuff as well.

I removed them and installed Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks. The truck now rides great. If you can afford it go with the bilsteins, you won’t be disappointed.

    I put a level kit on my 2014 F150 ecoboost 4x4 and the next day it started to make a metal clanking noise like i was dragging cans. Sounds like a rock scraping against the heat sheild but they couldnt find anything wrong with the truck. Obviously the level kit did something to my truck. The only way to get the noise to stop is to put it in 4 Lo, drive a bit and then put it in 2wd. But it keeps happening, any suggestions?

      Sebastian Sebastian I have no idea, I’m not an experienced mechanic for sure as you can probably tell from the video. It sounds like a cv shaft issue, maybe something happened when the hub was dropped down to put the spacer in. But like I said take that for what it’s worth I’m no expert.
