Feel free to comment just keep it kind and respectful so your not hidden from the channel!
That's why you don't lift from a control arm. Always lift on the frame.
That is why you use a 20 ton bottle jack not a 4 ton
Use it on the frame next time.
My Dad always told me when you jack up a vehicle and take the tire off, always slide the tire under the vehicle close to what you're going to be working on, like say a brake caliper. After years and years of following his advice on this, it finally happened. Jack gave out, wheel saved the day. Thanks Dad! 🍻
That actually scared the shit out of me lol
Before watching the whole video I was like “wow, what a quick method to jack up a vehicle” and boom, the thing flings out like a booger 😳.
Not the bottle jack's fault your independent front suspension functions properly
Bottle Jack's are only for lifting things perfectly straight up only
A few things … that is not at lift point identified by Chevrolet. Even worse it seems as if he picked on the worst possible location which is right under the lower control arm which is part of the suspension and not even the frame. Jack point for the front of a Chevy is behind the tire on the frame.
The spot on the vehicle where you put the jack was not parallel to the jack. Causing the weight to be concentrated to one side of the jack.
Bro is a magician.
I actually bumped my head on an imaginary vehicle chassis when that jack popped
this happens because when you lift a vehicle the vehicle moves in x axis motion as you are moving the vehicle in y axis (lifting it up). the bottle jack does not have wheels to accommodate this x axis movement. that is why it slipped out on you. floor jacks have wheels and they easily accommodate that x axis movement.
I used to do a road service for truck tires
Wow, glad you didn't get hurt! I agree that a 4 ton bottle jack should have been sufficient to lift your truck. However, whenever I use a bottle jack, I try to put something under it to raise it up high enough so I don't have to unscrew the saddle. I don't trust a bottle jack with the saddle unscrewed all the way. The jack becomes unstable then because the base is so small. I put wood blocks or whatever I can find to reduce the height between the saddle and whatever I'm lifting. That was scary. You really could have been injured. Glad you were OK!!
It did NOT TIP.
A chunk of 2×4 on the top of the jack reduces slip for when the alignment gets off. And don't forget to chock your rear wheels. That will drastically reduce any movement from the lifting.
Holy moly. Makes me think twice on these.. thanks for putting up this vid. Glad no injuries happened !
Thank you for this video, I never had this problem because I have a small car that weights 2,600 pounds, but after watching your video, I rather throw away my bottle jack in the dumpster than take a chance!!! You may have just saved a life with this video, thank you for taking the time to make this video and inform others of the danger they face using these cheap and bad design bottle jacks!!!
