    I can't believe you got the outdrive back on without using the alignment tool to pound in the bearing, I hope you bought a lottery ticket that week. Good job.

    Shoes would be good. Once a year all these components should be inspected. Every other year, the lower impeller should be repaired. My dad ignored all these maintenance items and our boats were a nightmare. Also, if you’re going to work on your boat, a power ratchet would be a good investment. Furthermore, get a mechanics seat on wheels. It will save your back.

    Hey Stanley, if you take 12.95 / 10 which will give you 1.29 ohms closer to what your DMM is reading. Trust me I thought about this a lot on my own and on my work bench, finally was able to figure out when you divide by 10 it will give you close enough readings on the bulbs.

    Great explanation of what is really going on there. I would also like to add that levelling spacer's are NOT the issue, it's the crappy design of this one that was at fault as you explained. Also when retaining the stock struts you need to install longer bump stops to prevent the struts bottoming out. New aftermarket UCA's are alway's a good add on as well. Oh one more thing, those adjustable strut's are causing a lot of people grief too with a harsher ride. The problem arises when you try to get a bit too much lift from them, with more lift you get more coil pre load. More pre load = harsher ride on road and less suspension compression offroad. Coil spring's progressively get stiffer with more compression, load rating increases.

    • @Javii96
      @Javii96 6 місяців тому

      Can you explain what you mean by more coil pre-load? What i think you are saying is “when you set the struts to a higher lift, the coil is more compressed”. Is that right?

    You used a factory strut and level lol. That has never been recommended, but I did see you mention it in the video. I have a loaded strut Rough Country myself, and it rides as good, or better then stock. I have the N3 loaded in the front, and V2 in the rear. Yea, anything over 2inches, and you would need to upgrade the upper control arms.

    So in 5 years you can just buy new struts. What's the big deal. In 5 years or so, you will have to replace the other struts as well. I had spacers on my Jeep Grand Cherokee for 5 years without any issues at all. In your 5 years, how much abuse and milage did you put your truck through?

    My 5th gen ram 1500 is a H7. I was curious if I could use the 3400r or the 6500 battery? It says 4800 fits but was wanting to get a little bigger battery but the 3400R doesn't have that lip on side as big as the 4800 or 6500 battery. Guess I could maybe buy a battery secure down to hold it down.

  • @carl16760
    @carl16760 Рік тому

    its back...done both ways...strut lift then spacer life...your wrong Stan. You stress the shit out of the springs doing this. With 5100 up 5 notches the front sat down lower on the left side to. With spacers the truck is way closer to level left to right. the ride is softer and have yet to see if the pinging is gone when the front end drops all the way out.

  • @carl16760
    @carl16760 Рік тому

    yeah we played this game. the struts ping when the front end drops out a lot and rapid. going back to zero on the dam strut right now and adding Motofabs 2.5 inch lift spacer to give back the full travel of the dam strut. already have Bilsteins b12 rear coils on a 2020 new style Ram. Mike from Mumblys here in southeast Michigan just went through this with a Jeep. how do you expect to take 2 inches of the travel off the extension stroke. now instead of 7 up 7 down....now you got 9 up and 5 down...

    Buddy that was one of the best videos I've watched on UA-cam explaining in detail with no gimmicks and crazy music and cutaways that I've watched. Just straight to the point, I've got a 2013 Dodge ram and it's having this same issue and I've even got a third party warranty to cover it but the full wheel parts people that I take it to they all tell me the same thing that these people will fight with them tooth and nail to get you the cheapest crap and they usually get stuff off of Amazon it's that cheap to fix just one of the spacers
