Good job brother! Nice straightforward explanation....
You remind me of our family...
I get the parts,
My son does the install,
Mom does the cooking,
and we all enjoy each other as we have a great meal!

[@mossman381]

If more families were like that the world would be a better place.

Used your video and just replaced the supports on my 2002 Suburban! 💪🏼 Thanks!!!

[@mossman381]

Glad it helped!

[@lindawest7071]

I changed these in less than 15 minutes. The hardest thing was to find something tall, and strong enough to hold up the door. Thanks for the confidence to do it

[@spacerconrad]

I just put these on my '04 Suburban. Suckers are strong enough. :) I also took the time to go ahead and rub some silicone lube on the weatherstripping back there.

[@mossman381]

Yeah, mom went from not being able to open up the door to barely being able to close it. It's a better problem to have :) They are still super strong. I though they would soften up a bit but they haven't.

[@alyr8949]

Thanks for this vid! ‘06 Suburban door kept crashing down on me. Followed this & installed them myself in 5 minutes.

[@imanabraham6868]

Thanks. Great explanation. Thanks for close ups too. Very informative. ❤❤❤

[@mossman381]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tammybraun7480]

Thanks for the video. Had the new struts. They came with directions in 4 different languages, none of them were
ENGLISH!

[@JSTX9216]

Thank you for showing up close how you remove the clip. There are some videos out there that show you from like a mile away how to remove these things and they don't show you that part.

[@mossman381]

Glad to help.

my 03 yukon had the aluminium gate. My replacement yukon, '06 has the steel gate. I thought they were all aluminium. I can tell it is much heavier. I need to replace my struts, but they need to be for the steel application.

Your mom is going to make your favorite meal for fixing her truck. Nice!

[@rockymtnredneck4888]

Good video. Simple maintenance items are often overlooked on CZcams. That would be one reason I started making videos. I couldn't find simple stuff that I needed to fix on my truck, so I started filming them.

[@paulcaruthers9647]

Nice work mossman381, you answered all the questions I had, particularly the orientation of the end caps! thanks, great video.

[@mossman381]

Glad to help.

That dog is learning alot

[@mossman381]

I wish he had thumbs. I would have him help me.

[@znovosad555]

My 2001 Ford F-150 has struts for the hood. They don't really lift it but they hold the hood real good

[@mossman381]

They might be getting weak if they don't help lift the hood some.

[@znovosad555]

mossman381 yeah maybe. I'll look into some new ones. It's almost time for my truck to registered. Need tires.

[@cabrera934]

Thanks for your Video

[@korbaselectah]

Thank you

[@ceceliasaunders959]

What I it won't go up by itself, we replaced it with new ones

[@brandonwoods3485]

Perfect

[@JRobert111111]

May I ask what the yellow grease is that you used on the ball mount on that strut? Thanks!

[@mossman381]

Any grease will work.

[@gwmz7158]

i have a bedcover for my silverado and the struts for the hatch have gone bad. will these help?

[@mossman381]

You need to know the length and the ball size to get replacements for something like a bed cover. My advise would be to look at your old struts. There should be a number on them. Go to Ebay or Amazon and type that number in and you should find some replacement struts.

[@gwmz7158]

thanks a lot

[@esmateo2213]

Thanks for this !

[@OneDayAtATime365]

Thx bro. 🙏

[@doc559]

Good job for mom.I do the same from mowing grass to cuffing oil.
unrelated question
2005 Chevy Silverado. LED replacement front running lamp/turn signal....Just plugs in, no resistor. Do you think it'll hyperflash? the plug n play reverse LED with no resistor is fine.
THANK you for your time and consideration.
didn't see any other way to contact you.

[@mossman381]

On a 05 I am not sure. If it does hyperflash I would try a new LED flasher instead of a resistor. You won't have to cut into your wiring. On my about page you can contact me privately.

[@doc559]

mossman381 THANK you

[@budblack5428]

Great video. perfect
