Pretty simple really all I did was basic maintenance oil change fuel filter, grease the front end and do a really good once over on the whole truck. This thing has really been trouble for me. It did a great job on the trip. #automobile #mechanic #garage #gm #gmc #lb7 #duramax Music: Views Musician: Ikson License: ikson.com/track/89/views

Hello, "Blue Collar Repair" I was analyzing your channel and saw that in your channel have some problem, That's why your channel is not much growing and not getting much engagement, If you can solve these problems, Your channel will grow like a storm. If you tell I can tell these problems. Where can I tell? Here or ig or where?
Hey, thanks for the video. I have a question. What did you have to do to do a complete swap is it possible with the 5.4?
Check out the rest of my videos. Its a pretty simple swap if your mechanical. And yes id say its possible with a 5.4 truck
Fix that tune.. power and money out the tailpipe
Amazing. Thanks I have to do mine !!
To stock manual transmission?
Yes i used an acme adapter but i had to modify it heavily for it to be centered
Idk if you check your youtube often, but I did this in the f****** screw, dropped down inside the crank case opening. Now it looks like i'm gonna have to take the transmission off like you show in the videeo. Do you have to replace all the bolts that hold the engine and transmission together, or can I reuse them?
@@SamBrownMusic i reuse them. vw says to replace the ones that are used for the transmission mount
Wss this a dakota?
Yes
What adaptor did you use on your air compressor?
To blow the excess coolant out? Just a rubber tipped blow gun
@@bluecollarrepair Thank you!
My gf has a 2015 Jetta. She had hers replaced at the dealer in 2021. She just went in for service today (oct '24) and they said she has another small leak. The first time it was $800 to fix. Today they quoted her $1700. I know inflation is a thing...but 112%??
Wow thats alot it takes like maybe an hour and a half to do
@@bluecollarrepair I'm tempted to do it myself for that price haha
Please do, thats an outrageous price. Did she go to a VW dealer?@@AlicesWondereland
@@aquilinorodrigo Yes, for other things. The speed input sensor in the transmission was bad. Thats when they told her about the leak and how much it was to fix it. I about lost it. She even pulled up her work order from the last time we had it fixed. $870. The new labor rate is $200/hr. And the dealer wonders why they're losing customers.
@@AlicesWondereland Oh wow. Run away asap!😂

You need a lift pump
Its on the list for sure
and sometimes the professionals screw up as well.
This was very therapeutic. Thx
Step one… get a better ball joint press…
What transmission are you running? If manual or 47rh You should only need about 12 wires total for the cam sensor for rpm, oil pressure, EGT, coolant temperature sensor, starter, alternator, and fuel pump solenoid. The tps and iat sensor can be deleted without affecting anything.
We used the zf6 that was originally in the truck
Excellent job! Thank you!
Do you have the part number for both seals?
whats the torque I can't see
Very informative
When cleaning them do you need to close the valves?
thinking they had a fuel system cleaner and not manually clean them
@@-vstraus- yeah I saw a video of this guy using a fuel addictive and it worked great
@@Je_luna which cleaner did they use?
@@Je_lunawhich cleaner?
@@-vstraus- it was amsoil fuel addictive but he took off the intake and soaked them for a few hours than scrub for a abit and they came out like new
What size socket did you use?
Dont remember exactly but i think 7/8 or 21mm
Just did the same thing on my 04
Its easy remove the oil filter housing and get the bolt from there its difficult but not imposible i did two times in about a hour each time
Top speed?
Ive had it up to about 90. 33" tires 4.30 gears and stock toyota 5 speed
Thanks for helpful video!
How long does it take to change out
Maybe like two hours taking your time and cleaning everything
*promosm*
Or just use screwdriver 🪛
Cool, well done!
That’s my favorite 3:8s ratchet
Same had it for 12+ years
Quite possibly the most annoying background muzak ever.
I used Maguires rubbing compound and got the same results in 2 minutes
This should last alot longer
Pro tip - use Foaming glass cleaner (I use Sprayway) instead of water and you won’t have it running down the bumper like that.
Thank you
Be sure to let folks know this restores shine but not UV protection. They will yellow out in 6 months
I am getting one
Glad you got the turbo replaced on this 12 valve Cummins swapped ford super duty truck
If anything it makes for a clean job. Usually chisel, air hammer, or screw drivers leaves big gashes or marks. Makes it look more professional for sure 👍 gonna have to get me one
I have one of those tools. It works like a charm.😊
Odly satisfying, worst one i had was on a 15 3500, they forgot to take the old seal out completely and ran it for 2 years like that lol
Dang how do you forget the whole seal!? And yea this guy got lucky the bearings were in good shape
@@bluecollarrepair right?! I think too much weed/beer lol I mean the bering lasted for 2 years on logging roads somehow.
Hi mine are leaking how can you tell if it's the just the outer or the inner
@@johnsonvideos1450take your wheel off and take your hub out and inspect the outer seal. Make sure to do your research before you do.
@@jaydenrodger117 k ill try thanks
Not in nort east ohio😢
The bearings obviously right. Was it not getting oil or what. That aint just some bs chinese turbo either i mean thats decent equipment
Im not sure this turbo was "rebuilt" by a local shop and they also put a billet wheel in so who knows.
Nicely done. The details in text, good reference. Deserve more subs.❤👍👍
Thank you
Needed a pneumatic hammer on the last car.... The neighbours thought i was digging a tunnel under their houses.
And that's how you pull the inner cv out 🤦
Link?
Das auto
Just more money to spend! I would've had it off by now!! 40 years plus as a master technician
Large screwdriver works fine
Isn’t it not spreading enough? Like it is already bottomed out.
