    man this video saved my life. just bought a 2017 uhaul trade in savana, it had some minor drivers side front end damage, which had been fixed with a new bumper assm. whoever put it on shouldnt have, it is an after market part, but that wasnt the problem. both supports were left bent down a little, so both sides looked like your drivers side did. i thought I was gonna have to buy a new bumper kit from gm to get it to fit, until I saw this. 5 minutes and a floor jack , and done....thanks Terrance , your the man...

    Hi Terence
    Great Job! Thanks for making the effort to share the very helpful video.
    Just yesterday I was under my 2009 Savana Van Bumper trying to Install Rigid Fog Lights into the Bumper Frame but the heavy steel bracket behind the Bumper prevented me from Installing them where I would like to.
    Now after seeing you video, hopefully, I will be able to Remove the Bumper & Drill & Cut into the metal Bumper supports to Install my Fog Lights as envisioned.
    Thanking you from Toronto, Canada.

    Actually, you remove the turn signals by pushing the screw driver behind the OUTSIDE edge of the lights and pushing on the U-shaped spring tab while prying outward.

    Terence thanks. I'll be changing my 2008 Express bumper today.
    Couple years ago I was "drifting" (not intentionally), lost control and was stop by divider. I had to use jock between front tire and bumper to move the bumper out of the tire. Then year later I hit the deer. Stupid poor think run away. I had to use jack again.

    @jamesclark5097 3 роки тому

    Did you have to do anything to the bumper to make the paint adhere, and how is it holding up? I've been thinking about spraying Krylon textured truck bed paint on my poor hood and may do the same to the bumpers.

    May as well replace blinker bulbs while you have them out. Then again you'd want to change the back ones at same time so may not be worth ti depending on how much time you have.

Do you have time to swap out the bumper and cover and if so how much labor and or labor and materials. I can get materials if that is easier. It will need to be a new bumper. I can drive the truck to you. Let me know. I can assist or not up to you. Thank you.
