You don’t have to go through the slot at all you can just take a flat screwdriver or a small pry bar That spring just keeps the adjuster from spinning on its own I like taking the wheel off because it’s easier to get at the adjustment And you can see what you’re doing better💯

Glad to see someone show how to adjust it from the back side on youtube. I've checked out a half dozen videos and every one of them says pull the wheel. pull the caliper, pull the rotor, yada yada yada, when there's a slot on the back. I know how to do it on other vehicles and it's a pretty simple job, but I wanted to see if there was anything I could possibly do wrong.

This dude really knows what he’s talking about! I love the detail explanation and he’s not wrong about what he says on this truck. Tomorrow morning I’m going to replace the FICM on my LLY because surprise 🎉 it went bad (completely) thank you for taking the time to explain this stuff and nice job keeping that truck in mint condition

They make a gray version as well

Awesome thanks alot

Why not try mineral spirits first??

hey brother great video. how do you not have a check engine light with the egr delete? i have the same set up as you and it always throws a code. thanks

Try out a blowtorch

Use a heat gun

Update on how it looks now? I have black plastic on my golf cart that needs help. Like you said, most of the stuff looks good for about a week then just back to the crap.

Talk about a stock clean example

That fucking truck is cleeaaaaaannnnnn

13 RDX front wheel drive, 94K miles. I performed this tranny drain and fill and also changed out inline tranny oil filter behind front driver wheel well. I bought 4 quarts DW1 and was expecting for a lil over 3 to come out but actually 4 quarts of old fluid came out and I had to plug back up because all I had was 4 quarts. 🤔. Nice content man!

Why do you have to go through the slot, its open from the top

Thanks for the info.

Mine took 4.5 quarts. Is that normal?

Mine took more than 3.3 courts 🤔😳

Don’t ever get rid of that truck. What a prime example of taking proper care of something! I noticed you said the truck has over 200k. Curious if you’ve done the pump rub upgrade on the t-case? I’ve got the same exact rig and opened up my t-case at just shy of 250k. I had a pine hole in the case but still about a quart and a half of fluid! Highly advised to check this on any GMT800! Not just lly!

My LLY is now at 741,000 miles. One thing I didn't see covered is the wiring harness rub through. There are 3 other spots in the injector harness that will ground out, usually starts showing up on wet/rainy days. Water pumps usually last me 200k but had one go at 65k and the cover begins to errode inside. Brake and fuel lines are not quality items so they should be replaced before they rust out.

What happens if you just put the first 3.3 quarts in and not drain it 2 more times?

Thanks. No BS. The info I needed quick. Too many wantabe mechanics on YT now.

Very nice videos thank you, I have a bone stock 2004 LLY 2500HD. Have a great day.

yea,the egr soot Is NASTY, HSP makes nice y bridge, i did the van thermostat housing cleans up the area,easier to get to fpr,cp3, y bridge,etc

had the whole head gasket issue, dirty tank,puking,both sides blown, they went from crimped, to riveted gaskets,now studded,close to 200k,early on had the 2,7 harness headache,redid the allison w triple disc ,transgo kit,i added BD tap shifter i love that upgrade, still on stock injectors,altenator,good trucks when maintained

i took the rad off the truck,and lightly pressure washed,...lots of debris,but worth doibg

Just found a cracked head on my LLY today.

thanks, everything needed to know in 1.5 mins ,,,,

I’m so tired of hearing “lly have heating issues” well the lb7 has literally the same radiator , fan, trans cooler etc etc etc .. yet somehow those don’t have overheating issues. … just saying.

How can you identify which Is durmax engine you have

just got a 05 with 99k on it. hope it lasts me 20 years. you're a legend.

Need to do this to my own truck. Thanks for the how to.

Do the Ice Pick on #2-#7 injector... did mine 140k miles ago and no problem at 250k... also did pcv reroute, full delete, and LBZ mouth piece all at 120K miles... no more over heating while pulling 10k up hill in summer, no more fans coming on excessively... Truck needs to breathe and it does that just fine with thr mouthpiece the rad is good enough as is

Thank you!

Great video would you say it is worth buying an lly or hold out for an lbz? Lly are just better priced in my area.

Is this engine swapped?!?! That’s a lbz front end and the engine looks like a lbz. Just wondering

Thank you!

Great video.

Good vid. Covered just about everything except the leaky stock fuel filter housing. I deleted mine after installing my lift pump. And the FPR and FPRV.

The Allison spin filter also has a magnet that is removeable so it can be cleaned. Remove the filter,it should be either stuck to the top of the filter or it is around the threaded pipe nipple.if it is not there,soneone has changed that filter before and not known about it. There is also a internal trans filter as well. I have a 05 LLY with 380,650 miles on it. Orignal engine and trans. I see you run Stanadyne. I do as well. Every other month i use the brown label and every fill up a make a mixture of the blue label and the purple label.

Thanks for dropping by and please subscribe! I have several videos coming in September and I plan to increase the production value with better camera / microphone and editing.

what an absolutely clean truck 0 rust. I wish I didn't have rust.

Been looking into doing this to my lbz soon, appreciate the tips for install!

Anyone know how many of these issues they fixed with the lmm?

Thanks for posting this! Straight to the point and super helpful

My son-inlaw has an LLY that runs great until he tries to pull a heavy load. He gets very high fuel rail pressures and it limps . It has had new injectors and head gaskets and fuel regulator. Any Ideas?

Thanks Man I learned a lot 👍🤺🏋️‍♀️

I paid 2500 for a ficm😐

Do you have to take the wheel off? Couldn't you just stick a screwdriver through that slot?

Awesome vlog👍🏽…I am in the process of upgrading parts on my LLY…Aloha 🤙🏽
