- I show you how to replace the rear shocks on a 2009 f150 pickup truck.
I am an amazon affiliate , Shopping through my link doesn't cost you a thing, but I get a small fee when you do. Thanks! amzn.to/2VKQjIV
Man, this is a *GREAT* video! There is no "bad" video out there while demonstrating work like this. Even a video that is the "wrong way to do it" is still 100% helpful to the next guy...it shows them what to look out for, inspire them, learn, etc. Glad you showed the last part...nice!
Yeah, I think showing what can go wrong is as important as the glitzy pro's who never show a mistake.
Did you install exact replacement or get a diff type/power?
I bought monroe reflex shocks. They are in the description above.
I replaced all 4 shocks on my wife's '82 F100 2 months ago. Today, it was the radius arm bushings.
I'm so sore right now, and I know I'll really feel it tomorrow!
For my next act,,,,ill be replacing the front struts and brakes. If mine was an 82, I would pull the hubs,degrease the bearings and repack,but the 2009 doesnt use the old style. You have to replace the entire hub with bearings now.
I did the bearings not long ago. I'm also rebuilding a 1980 El Camino for her. I just finished all the bushings and ball joints, and the wheel bearings are next on my list (I already bought them). I have too many projects! LOL!
You've got some fast hands there... maybe you were a magician in a past life? Hmmmmm
I can make money disappear. Does that count?
I did mine over the Summer. I snapped 2 of the 4 bolts removing my rear shocks. I live in the north east and rust is a huge factor. Had to go out and buy new grade 8 bolts.
You're definitely right about it being easier to be pulling down to compress than lifting up!
Unless your a mechanic for a living, shocks arent something you do often enough to call yourself an expert. I had forgotten how quickly they want to expand. I remember rust. I grew up in enfield Ct.
Pretty good video on shock replacement. The only thing I found unrealistic was the lack of colorful language. You may be different but when I work on something there is usually SOME swearing. Sometimes there is lots of swearing but maybe that is just me.lol I do know that I wouldn't get anything done if I was trying to video it at the same time. Thanks for all the time and effort you spend making these videos. Phil
Believe me! I am well versed in the science of cussing and believe in its power to help you make inanimate objects do your will.
you made that look so easy.. I would have taken me 6 days to do that.. lol nice job!
when I do the front struts,thats gonna take me six days!
90,000 miles in humid Louisianna? You may as well be living in Arizona, as I see ZERO rust on that frame. You having lived in S.E. Mass should know what truck frames look like after 90,000 road salt/sand, ocean salt etc. I am SO envious I just may move down there. Nice work on the truck.
yeah, i dont miss rust or snow.
I sell those shocks. The white strap is for shipping. It lets them use a shorter box for the shocks.
It also keeps you from having to try and compress it.
sometimes I am glad they don't let me work on my car at the apartment,LOL Good job Brad!
I lived in an aprtment complex and the manager hated me because I made such a big deal about people parking in my one and only payed for covered parking space. My wifes car had absolutely stopped moving because the clutch was so bad. She got it into the space and I waited until nightfall. i put the car up on jacks,dropped the tranny, replaced the cluth,pressure plate and throwout bearing, reinstalled the tranny and off the jacks before the manager came back to work. She would have loved to kick me out because when someone parked in my covered,parking space i would demand she tow it, or give me money off my rent.
Did it take more do'in to get the camera to do that or to get your ass back up off of the pavement from under there?
that was a job! ground is lower now a days!
On my bottom bolt it spins but won’t come out, almost seems like it needs to be pressed out but I can’t get the leverage to press it.
How shocking. I'm sur that You tub e will havr sissues with this as well....LOL
yep, I replaced my own shocks. Think of the hungry mechanics! facist!!!
I actually learned something! Thanks.
Glad to help!
I was yelling it’s gettin’ away, your gonna lose it! (Apparently the internets only works one way....)
JimsEquipmentShed first one got away! It was yuge!
doing the shocks on the rear of my 06 150. Appreciate the tips. I love your floor coating
Put top eye bolt in first. then jack truck up until bottom eye bolt matches, then slide bolt in. Simple.
How nice it must be to have a southern vehicle!
I was born in the rust belt. I remember rusty cars!
I like work so much I sit back and watch it all day.
Moby Dave you’re retired now. You can watch work and know you did your part.
Is this video demonized yet....?
Not yet,,tick,tick,tick,
Not to bad, kind of an easy R&R
Thanks! I wanted to show that even a guy with ten thumbs can replace shocks.
good job Bc ... use full vid ... †
thanks!
As they say second time is a charm. 😎😎
Robert Weigandt yeah but it’s also good to dhow my screwups as well as my success.
Thanks for this video. Great work! Getting ready to replace the rear shocks on my 2018 F150 that is leaking oil with only 45k miles on it! I Have the new shocks now just need to replace them. Your 2nd strut was much easier to replace and your video helped tons!
I just put the same shocks on my '15. How are yours holding up?
They held up fine. I traded it in a year ago.
@@bctruck Could you tell a big difference from your old shocks to those Monroe Reflexes?
Yes. Immediately! Much better ride.
Great tutorial, thanks
thanks!
Last part👏👏👏
Thank you!
Well done.
Thanks!
I do that too, learn from the first one then the second time it's easier. Just think how much money that saved doing that yourself.
No air leak? Oh, sorry. I almost forgot 😁
no! My compressor is only putting out gas fumes.
So... What time can I bring mine by for the same treatment?
Just Plain Common Sense any day of the week. Except Friday. I’m going to Texas Friday. They lifted the burn ban.
Great video, also thanks for the few laughs of your humor.
wow
You can sure tell that trucks not from Michigan you'd never got them shock bolts off that easy with all the salt they put on the roads here.
Have a Jesus filled day
Greg in Michigan
ps. Did you notice I didn't say I was shocked they came off that easy
He he he
Greg Homestead yeah. No road salt here, just mud.
Great Video. I followed your instructions and it took me about 30min in total. Thanks aBunch
Thanks for letting me know.
I rather see someone else make the mistake and save me the trouble. Good video with your mistake. Will save me time and busted knuckles too.
Well, I’m a retired long haul trucker. I’m no mechanic so I do make mistakes. Thanks for watching.
If you'd have jacked the truck up on the frame instead of the axle, it wouldn't matter that the shock was fully extended.
That’s cute. You’re watching repair videos so you can tell folks what they should have done. Back to your video games skippy.
@@bctruck
LOL
Wow! You can't even take simple constructive criticism or suggestions? I don't know how good a mechanic or bladesmith you are (or think you are), but you sure do seem to be very good at being a raging dickhead!
Well, we all excel at something. You, in giving unsolicited advice long after the fact and me, in being a raging dickhead. Thanks for playing.
Brad please do a video on the brake change!
I will. It will be next week.
True video! Great job!
Thanks!
I'm shocked
Michigantler I don’t blame you! It was graphic too!
Good job! That truck looks really good for an 09. Michigan trucks have a pretty good amount of rust on the frame by that age. How many miles on her?
I have 90,00 miles on it and I figure I'll drive it to 200,000 and buy a new one.
BCtruck, rebuild, repair,repurpose cool! They're really good trucks. I'll get one eventually :)
