My F150 Lug Nuts are DEFORMING!
Let's look at the difference between OEM F150 lug nuts and one piece aftermarket lug nuts. We will cover both one piece aftermarket and two piece OEM lug nuts.
My 2011 F150 and now my 2018 F150 all had two piece lug nuts which overtime have failed. Impact wrenches damage the outer cap and deform it in a way that you can't get the normal socket over it.

My Door is Filled with Water... CLEAN your door drains!

There is A LOT of water in the door of my F150. I've been driving the truck and I started hearing water splashing back and forth in the passenger side door. In this video, I'm going through the door to figure out exactly what happened, why there is so much water in there, and then measuring how much was actually sitting in the door when I drained it. I'll show you the best way I've found to cle...

    At least you're not dealing with a split rim on an old semi. Those things are killers. The demountable is fine, but the demoutable portion having the split in it made them EXTREMELY lethal. Just the demountable rim would be great today because tires changes would go a LOT faster.

      @@SmackeysGarage Yeah, they are an interesting item. Having the portion of the rim where the bead of the tire mounts separate from the rest of the wheel allows the spare to be inflated the whole time. Those need to come back, minus the split in the rim that could fail and make it a projectile.
