  • Late upload, long day. My first F350 Upgrade, so far its an easy one and a cheap one, For only $29 seems like a well worth every penny, heck i might even buy 2 of them to make it lower even slower haha.

    Those things are a god sent, saved my 3 yr old from getting hit n the head , i open the gate and didn't know she was walking under and I was able to stop It just in time because it drops slow , if you don't have it get it , now the new trucks coming with those already installed

    @richardmellem3583 Před 4 lety

    Wow Nick. The second thing today that I'm buying directly from your link ! You should be getting a commission. A quick thought...might be a good idea to dry fit everything before you use thread lock, just say'n... Also, to all pick up drivers: a simple way to slow down thieves who would try to make off with your tailgate. A hose clamp around the slotted tailgate hinge (you know, the one that lets you take the tailgate off) will stop or at least slow down the quick grab kinda thief.
    Damn it ! Just saw your video where you correct your two shock issue with the clamp. Never mind.

    • @FixItNick
      @FixItNick  Před 4 lety

      Thanks really appreciate it, yea the clamp is an easy fix and security

    Have you ran a cylinder contribution test to check injectors? Also the pedestal on the turbos leak after awhile they make some good aftermarket options. The drain valve on the fuel bowl will leak too sometimes. It's just o rings cheap to fix if you have these issues. The ol 7.3l has it's issues but there easy as can be to work on.

    Hi Nick, new subscriber here, my question is how did you learn how to fix all these projects that your working on, i know your a driver for UPS is that correct, your a very knowledgeable person and a great one, thanks for your videos and keep them coming, also i see that you mostly like to work on trucks, in the near future would be working on cars as well. Thanks!

      thank bro appreciate it, i started working on classic cars when i was 19 and it never stopped. I have rebuild a few 1967 mustangs, and actually after i do this F350 I have a 1967 mustang in the garage there waiting its turn. Ill be doing that one on the channel and then will be looking for a 2016-17 GT350 that i always wanted to rebuild and a Viper GTS as well
