… I spoke too soon.

@@randomperson90ehh 🙃

Ps your mom is the best!! ❤️

@@randomperson90ehh During Covid I paid 10k which I think at the time was an incredible find!

@@CLD316 ya I just cut a box to have access to the welded nut probably grabbed vise grips to keep it from spinning, you can weld in that weld nut bracket back into place if you want, I’m pretty sure I grabbed a new nut and tightened and called it good or used the existing weld nut plate and used vise grips again to tighten it, I didnt bother welding anything back into place.

@@JohnPonce thank you for the reply, sir!

@@justnosa3481 I believe so I know it’s not the 4.8

@JohnPonce 4.8 will probably fill the pocket with fuel savings compared to the 6.0 though.

@@kolereiser no problem their prone to rust on the rocker panels so I’d highly recommend crawling underneath the vehicle and see if you spot any rust

@@JohnPoncegot any extra wheels I can buy from you? Not sure what’s good or bad. Still new to all this.

@@JohnPonceI will definitely look thank you

@@kolereiser I do not unfortunately, and everyone has a preference. What might help you decide if you go on custom wheels offsets website and look under their gallery you can get an idea of what it will look like for your truck before you buy them.

@@JohnPonce sounds great thank you

I’d imagine their not too different

If you havnt already YES now would also be a good time to change thermostat and change hoses if their showing their age or signs of replacement. I’m pretty sure I had replaced the thermostat recently, but it was so long ago I don’t remember honestly.

4 inch ready lift is what was on it before I went to a 9 inch McGuaghys

damn I just got a 07 silverado im still 14 but my dad is only letting me get a 2 inch lift which im fine with im excited to see what my car will become@@JohnPonce

Essentially it came with the Raptor UPol Kit it’s an Applicator Gun specifically designed to screw onto Raptor Bottles

No it’s only necessary if you plan to have the paint exposed to sunlight.

Dude I know lifted trucks and reliability just simply doesn’t go together 😂 Thank you so much! Although my editing is a work in progress, it truly means allot to hear feedback from others 🙌 I will continue to grow each and every video! 🤟

If your talking about the rotors themselves, I wouldn’t paint on them, your better off just buying new rotors on your next brake job.

@@JohnPonce Thats the problem... They are new, but already got rust rings in a few months.. Must be my coastal area. Looking for solution but I guess some careful wire brushing im not sure.

Ya that’s a good way to clean it out, I’ve done that a couple of times on used vehicles that have been neglected from the previous owner. I’d just run water throw the top hose or even the thermostat housing itself when too hose is off until I see a clear stream of water flowing through.

I actually heard that before, I also heard it was a better motor to turbo but I’m not so sure if that’s true or not.

McGaughys Lift Kit actually had sway bar link extensions, so I used the oem sway bar links

I actually ended up putting a add a leaf with new oem leaf springs when I lifted the Silverado

I think your talking about the AC condenser

Omgish! I would of have never known if you told me! I can honestly say that was the most anxiety I’ve ever experienced. 💯 agree with your statement 😅

I know 😞 I need a hire a accountability buddy 😂

Canon R5 with RF 15-35mm F2.8 🤟

I actually bought them on Amazon their Spyder Auto www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B071V65P89?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Thanks. I have a 2011 silverado. I think these will fit. Not sure. But your truck looks like the same model i have.

Ya so it’s not necessary if your planning to stick at 7”

Ya that’s what I like about them, just enough to hear them but nothing overpowering, until you give it some gas on the highway and open it up. Definitely wasn’t looking for something constant and obnoxious

It’s because I ended up buying new leaf springs, same with the differential cover, I avoided wasting time on parts I knew I was replacing.

@@JohnPonce Yeah, I put new extra hi-lift leafs on my nova and they arrived gloss black with a little bit of rust all over them from J.C.Whitney. I was like your kidding. Had to paint them again. I guess even sitting on a storage shelf they start to rust. 🙁

@@sacul7694 I feel your pain, I recently got a raptor and replaced the leaf springs with Deavers HD leaf springs, and everyone online was saying to coat them before installing and I just couldn’t believe how fast they would surface rust it’s insane how cheap of a paint they put on those leaf springs

The B&M cover I wouldn’t recommend, it ended up causing me to have troubles when I took my truck long distance with the design of the stopper bolts I was trying to have a nice lifted truck but also have the capability to tow reliably, but it didn’t work out the way I wanted too the gears I put on my truck I actually don’t even remember but wouldn’t recommend the ratio I used anyways. Honestly gearing is really out of my realm. I would go to your local shop that does gearing and ask for their recommendations. The brand G2 is what I used for the gears and Eaton for ELocker I didn’t have issues with the parts just the ratio and if it’s even necessary to have a elocker for your setup are questions I’d be asking to a gear shop, there’s also allot more than just buying the gears allot of misc bearing and what not if your having a shop do it they’ll explain it to you, if your going to tackle it yourself I would ask the gear shop everything you’ll need to buy. Hope this helps.

@@JohnPonce Ok thanks for the suggestion . I was thinking of going 4.56 gears ,but like you said I’ll ask around gearing shops for recommendations first and do my research. I don’t do towing as much so is not a big deal for me . I have 6 speed trans and 3.42 gears currently. For the Diff cover I’ll probably just go with the yukon cover but the only downfall it doesn’t have fins like the B&M.

@@fatalshot8783 Now that you mentioned it 4.56 gears is what I think I put in my truck, but since you won’t be towing and you have a larger motor than me you probably won’t experience any of my issues I had. B&M I just wouldn’t recommend installing the backing bolts they provide, that rest on top of your differential caps. What I ended up doing was putting a little bit of thread sealant and just blocking it with a short bolt than using the bolts they provided.

I don’t have a gun or compressor

No problem 👍

Honestly taking the time to remove the wheel well liner is probably a better approach I had to use a ridiculous amount of extensions and swivel to make it work.

Their iridium plugs if you try and gap them, you’ll break the filament type. But they already come pregapped
