    Watching this video made me realize that I spend the good majority of winter in New England here bathing in fluid film as I fight rust and salt on every piece of equipment and truck we own lol.. it's like every truck and equipment and car guys life revolves around not letting salt touch it. So then I start thinking... we invest so much money and time here in the US anyways on so much nonsense. I think we should start voting in politicians that start pushing drivers education and start teaching these kids how to drive in the snow, and I'd say a good majority of the adults need to be run through that class as well, and then we can stop using salt and just be normal people. Haha

    • @jacknimble1
      @jacknimble1 7 місяців тому +2

      Couldn't agree more. Here in VT we have the nations worse vehicles in terms of corrosion and interiors. VT is known for using the most salt per mile so the tourists can feel safe driving up to go skiing. We also have insanely strict inspection rules. Any pinhole is a fail. Any fix on a frame has to be done by a "certified" welder. Even the dirt roads are covered in magnesium chloride in the summer as a caking agent to keep the dust down. It forces my wife and I to have cheaper winter cars to drive 5 months of the year.

    For anyone who will be doing ball joints regularly, you can't go wrong with a snap-on ball joint breaking fork. I'm not a snap-on fan boi and currently don't own a single tool from them. But their forks just work because instead of having 2 flat sides, one side has a slight curve to it so it can never bite in and stop. 3 hits at the most every time without fail. This coming from an ex front end guy . I'm hope this truck got a wheel alignment after having that work done.

He never changed the oil and the sludge finally let go and got a rod knock or spun bearing.. Had to park it. Just about everything on it is broke. Broken seat that lays all the way back, 3 of the 4 door handles don't work (inside and out). Tailgate handle is broken and can't open it. Brakes were grinding metal. Glove box won't latch shut and just hangs open. Window doesn't roll down. Radio stopped working. :) .. I think the transmission and rear axle is all that's left. Body is not in bad shape though- we don't have salt here. Probably end up scraping the truck.

Ive owned 3 of those super duties e'99 4wd(RC), '00 4wd(EcLb), & '00 2wd(EcLb) - all 7.3L. I love these things, built very well & strong! Nice to have bought a brand new one back then..

    Rich, I've always had luck with adding a layer or 2 of good, thick cardboard in addition to that flimsy, ridiculous foam sheet. If you can find some foam thats thicker, that helps too. I've had cases where I had to cut a few layers of cardboard, stuck together w\ glue to act as fill-in spacers to prevent sockets from spilling out of case when stood up. You can also use spray adhesive to stick together the flimsy foam & the built up cardboard so its all one piece. I have no doubt that this is something you can 'fix' with a little time. I guess after you got spoiled from using your good ol Milwaukee sets that are all nicely fitted into Packout cases perfectly these blow-molded pos's dont compare in the slightest way! I do love those Packout sets & how the sockets all fitting in there nice & perfect! My carry around travel case is a 73 pcs Tekton 3/8" full set(no skips).. The case is perfect, nothing falls out ever. Only downside of it is lack of extra spots for miscellaneous extra sockets. Also carry the Husky 1/2" Impact full set & cordless impacts for the serious fasteners i may encounter. 👍👌🤔😎🛠️🔩🔧📐📏✏️🔨🔌🦺🧤🚧⚡💥💨⚠️🤷🏻‍♂️🍻

    I have a 93 k1500 that I got from my grandpa (still had factory cv axels with 260k miles) and got into an accident with it. The tow yard guy asked me "what you gonna do with it?" Keep it and fix it doesn't have much monetary value but the sentimental value won't let me sell it. You could see the sadness come over his face because all it needs was a front clip maybe a paint job and done. But now it sits waiting for one day when I have enough money to start rebuilding it. It's always easy to get rid of them but it's hard to get them back.

    I'm a Ford truck guy all the way, so my opinion may not mean much. This body style is the newest Chevy truck style that I actually like, other than maybe a 1 or 2 year body in 2015ish. I have never been a fan of the newer silverado styling, and I find the newest styles to be more terrible every year. I'm sure, like Rich, this is partly due to the fact that these were everywhere when I was growing up and in HS, I knew lots of guys that had these as their first truck. Also, the short bed, regular cab, Z71 4x4 package with the manual transmission might be one of my all time favorite chevy trucks...

(kid was fine, truck was not) My buddies dad brought it into his scrape yard, and i was lucky to buy it back from the insurance comp, for like 4k dollars, i stripped all the parts i put into my brothers truck, he still has it to this day, and still drives it at almost 325k miles. but kid did some damage to that original truck, twisted the frame, engine was fine, transmission housing was trashed, and was able to salvage the cab and bed for a buddies truck. wish i can find another clean one with lower miles again.

    5:00 It' hard to tell what is going on from the video. Is the ABS wire wrapped around the the sway bar link? Or is there a clip on the link that the wire is fastened to? I'm sure I've worked on one of these and I don't remember this and I would think it would be an odd setup from an engineering viewpoint.
    Edit: It looks like there is no ABS. On the passenger side the wires are cut and just hanging in the wind.
