GM clearly doesn't want you or me in there. There's no reason why the small piece with the stressed corner couldn't have been held in with a couple of screws. It's just crazy

Other MFR's, such as some years of Dodge RAM, 2017~ all that is needed is move a fuse half into next position, it toggles using a common lead so either powers by battery or ign. Smart idea all MFR's should incorporate!

Great video. Thanks for simple-izing it

I have a 2015 GMC canyon....similar, but I ended up using a cutoff wheel to remove a couple of the fasteners. It just wasn't possible to get to the head of the bolt without removing basically the whole front grille and other parts. I don't really care about the milage, it's just around town driving and rarely sees any highway. Another thing I removed was the side steps....talk about fugly.

great video thanks for sharing most thorough center console dissassembly video

Sorry to say but none of that is up to code. Just like most RV plumbing is not as well.

All of these mfers in here talking shit like they're Mr super technician. I guarantee he did so much better than most of, if not all of, the shit talkers would have. A lot of interior pieces are difficult to disassemble if you've never done it or don't have a background in it. Not only that but you're going to break tabs sometimes, period. A lot of the clips hold tighter than the minimum pressure that must be applied to remove them especially when the clip cannot be cradled while removing it. Y'all talking all that shit when your dumb asses had to look up how to remove a center console lmao

Why not use the power wire for the useless wireless charging station

Nice video. You know what be cool though? If we could shove all this under the hood in a lightly insulated box and give it a little forced induction to keep it cool

Where you been Mario

You should see that river when the snow starts melting.

keep a eye on frame they rust quick im fixing my 08 now 4x4 single cab z71 love that little truck got 140 thou on it popped leaf spring hanger to be fair its hsd lot gravel and ton of red dog had bring off mountain a mile rough road empty payload lol

with the new springs probly not as bad if any

maybe try it empty on gas

yeah gas tank on d side filling it give u differance id say idk

Can tell any difference in mileage since you removed the air dam?

Instead of welding it, why didn’t you just buy grade 8 hardware and replace it? Unless I am missing something, this makes no sense.

The diode is to stop any current leakage, it should be connected to the purple wire. Then all you need is 12v power to the switch. Power goes through the switch into the purple but nothing can come back with the diode in place.

Yeah, I took mine off as soon as I got my truck. They’re not hard at all to take off.

It is difficult and disorienting to hear you mispronounce the name "Chisos."

Hi Mario thanks for the video but i have a few questions : can you run the power cable (positive fron the car battery ) to the DC /DC charge and dont run it for the alternator? is any option to run the ignition wire fron the fuse box to the charge instead to destroyer the cigarette light ? Thanks

Nice video

Hi Mario. I love your video but wanted to mention a couple things I've learned. The proper, and necessary, fittings for pex and for flexible vinyl hose are different and not interchangeable...that's why you don't ever see that in your home plumbing. That's not to code anywhere because it leaks. Unfortunately, many rv manufacturers do this...like my 2022 Grand Design Imagine trailer. Anyway, the vinyl hose requires the 'shark tooth/Christmas tree ' style fittings whereas the pex requires the smooth style fittings. Also, the crimp rings are never applied flush to the hose. They're meant to be installed 1/8" - 1/4" back from the end...depending on the fitting used.

Dispatch all ticks!

Here's my free advice, go out and purchase 2 or 3 cans of bear spray. Always carry on your hikes and anytime your on foot!! I'm a 42yr law enforcement officer. Enjoy your travels.

PVC braided lines need to have the factory compression fittings with brass seats. Just look underneath your bathroom faucet or toilet in your home. If you are going to replace the PVC with PEX and you need to make a sweeping arc, I just heat the PEX with a propane torch or heat gun. It will mold to easily up to 90 degrees. Heat and bend. Mixing the 2 different pipes on a single connection with PEX clamps is not code for home use or RV standard. But it’s cheap and fast to install. I wouldn’t pressurize the system past 30 psi, but sooner or later it is going to leak when the PVC expands.

Dude my bmw 328rwd would have no problem there lol. Godnfamn just bought this truck looking for a 'real' offroad

Hey Mario! Hope all is well, we need an update and we all hope you are doing well! We miss you 🙏

😂😀😃😄😁😆😅🤣😂 this dude is a idiot

The barb design for PEX and PVC are totally different and this is where many of the issues occur. The two different types of tubing require different types of fittings AND clamps. The RV manufacturers skimp out to save every penny possible. These types of mixed connections are not allowed for use in homes and would be a code violation (for good reason). The only decent way to fix this in a RV (without completely re-plumbing the rig) would be to use adaptor fittings designed for the two types of tubing. For instance, PEX barbed to NPT on the PEX side and PVC barbed to NPT (opposite gender) on the PVC side. Not a cheap fix but a much better way to deal with it in the long run. Unfortunately, leaks due to improper fittings don't usually show up right away and often times, not until after the warranty period.

I can't for the life of me figure out why anyone would want to convert to a type of pipe that has such a high failure rate. Don't do what this guy is doing.

Hope you are doing Mario!

The “trick” is use the proper size clamp and the proper size barb fitting for whatever size tubing you are using.

Hey Mario! How is it after a few years?

Do you remember what that bracket was called that they replaced. The one with the rivet going through it?

hi mario i would like to know if the adhesive works?

Isn't there an accessory switch from gm you can get for the truck?

Any real benefit? Engineering that part for a reason? No?

there goes 2 mpg

Great video. Thanks for your efforts.

Wow, stay away from my Colorado.😂

Just had to do this today and came here looking for an easier way... seems we both had the same idea. Putting the clamp rings on even with heat expansion its not easy. Not sure how these manufacturers are getting them on like they are haha. Something tells me it should probably be illegal for them to do this, it probably would be if it were residential piping...

So sick

We need an update, bud. Hope all is well

Do you have a video on how to remove the passenger seat?

It’s best to remove your wheels from the vehicle and if necessary use a scraper to clean off any cemented mud. Thoroughly wash the inside of the wheel. It may be a good time to have your wheels balanced.

What is the best way to cut it? Will regular pex cutter work?

This is the opposite if what your supposed to do. Do not repair this way.

Mario, My brother and I saw what appeared to be a mountain lion at Falcon State Park by cabin 17 a few years back. We stayed up late by the camp fire and the cat just slowly walked by us on the edge of the fire light and darkness. We just stayed still and let it pass by. Scary, sure, Cool, ABSOLUTELY
