Thanks for the shout out! Its been a pleasure getting to know you over the years. Heres to many more!🎉
If I didn’t live in Canada I’d bring my truck to at guys.
Thanks for your support you guys are awesome
Y’all did a great job glad your local in Michigan near me, hope this video brings you more business as it will bring mine!
Josh Chrome for the win! That alignment shop was #1 in my book! most shops would have given up. 2 thumbs up to all the guys there at that shop!! determination is sweet! shout those guys out a little more! thanks for continuing your videos!
Thanks for the love! 👍
Man, to see those guys spend some time on that alignment is a good sight to see. Too many shops half ass work and don’t stand by it. It’s nice to see some young guys putting in that work to get it right. I can appreciate that for sure
Not to mention they actually let him in the shop and didn’t treat him like a piece of garbage , but the two go hand in hand in my opinion any shop who treats a customer like that especially someone who has experience in the industry usually has something to hide in my experiences .
Any other shop not going to be posted on youtube. Would of sent it on it's way 30mins into it.
Wow very professional. Love to see that in this day and age. Thanks for the video❤❤🎉🎉
Was good to see you again! We at A&D repair are all about customer service and quality work.!
Thanks again!
From the Ann Arbor area I will 100% drop by next time I need an alignment
Look forward to meeting!
i like chrome. I am just a bit old school. I can't deal with the giant wheels. just not enough tire for my liking. regardless, love what you are doing man
These guy really made sure the job was done right. Would definitely bring my truck to this shop.
We have that same alignment machine
Seems like a great shop to get work done. Nice job.
Josh I love your channel and your content is awesome! A lot of people edit out their mistakes or they down play screw ups. Your honesty is so great. No matter what you do you’re gonna make mistakes just own them. Thanks for posting another great video!
Couple things about the process i noticed, he mentioned to adjust for the crown of the road with camber, you should never do that, its going to wear tires. If you adjust the caster up to half a degree lower on the driver side it will drive better without wearing tires. Also you dont need to do a rolling comp everytime, a caster swing will re measure everhthing without moving the vehicle. The rolling comp is only neccesary when the head is removed from the wheel, its used to compensate the head being off center of thr wheel or a little sideways. Camber should also have been tipped in, and with the caster lower on the passenger side it will naturally pull that direction, looked like he was fighting it a little in the test drive. Did a decent job though, seems to drive ok
With the steering wheel being 90* out more than likely your gearbox was not centered when you hooked up the steering shaft. It’s probably 1 full turn out. From the short clip I could see of him adjusting the passenger side tie rod it looked like there were way too many threads showing. I’ve got the exact same setup and there is almost an 1” of threads showing on each side. The steering wheel and pitman arm are both keyed so they only go one way. The input on the gearbox is keyed but it could be out a turn. I’d disconnect the steering shaft, find center on the gear box and hook it back up. If you plan to do any more sled pulling in the future I’d definitely double check that before you do. Love the vids, keep them coming! These are helping me get the motivation back to finish mine!
Thanks for the input I will check it out
I have twins from HSP, and I can't get them right. I am glad you were able to figure it out.
I enjoyed learning what it takes to get good alignment. . I hope all stays good with RUclips I'd really hate to loose your Chanel your my favorite on RUclips.
Great vid. The guys at the shop were so professional, love seeing that!
That truck is a beast! And I personally like the chrome with the purple lug nuts. Looks so good!
BUT...
Do what Mrs TruckMaster wants lolol
if these guys are this good off cam i will for sure look them up for work if i ever make it up that way
They are 👍
Love watching your builds. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do!
Original tires and wheels on that truck would look a lot better
It’s coming along real nice like! I’m a fan of black wheels and blacked out emblems but I think chrome works well with a white paint job.
Man I love your content. Just bought my first duramax a 2013 lml and your videos are beyond helpful
Higher caster helps prevent speed wobble and caster is always set higher on right side to accommodate for road crown
And he uses the new trailer! Today is a big day for everyone 😂😂😂
now you can drag race it at the freedom truck meet in 2024
Cool that you come over to my neck of the woods to get work done! Haven't watched your vids in a few weeks but my buddy said you had a video out about cab corner/rockers...gonna have to look that one up as my 2015 LML has a ton of rust on the cab corners, rockers and rear wheel wells
I really enjoyed this video, thanks Josh 😁👍
black rims on a white truck is an awesome look. Just bought one a couple of months ago and threw on some black steps and cover and it just looks good. I might be a bit bias though.
Def get rid of the wheels an tires. That rubberband tire look is doing that good looking truck a huge dis justice. More rubber sir!!
Love the intro to this video!!
Bro, your wife IS the max
Looks great
Thanks
Absolutely, half a degree higher caster on the right side to prevent a pull to the right from road crown, never give up camber or you will pay in the end for tires. Looks like he is trying very hard to do a good job for you but again, you can change caster substantially without causing any tire wear. I have specialized in alignments on cars all the way up to class a motorhomes and Peterbuilts for the last 28 years
Go in with stock wheels get it aligned then put the bigger wheels on. If they are balanced right it will drive perfectly.
My lifted 2012 1500 silverado drives straight down the road lmao
Great video brother! 👍
Thanks 🙏
I would say for the amount of work you’ve done to the wifemax it would be fair to set the odometer to 0
When I bought my 2023 Chevy Duramax diesel, the salesman did not understand why I wanted transport tires versus the very loud off road tires that were put on the truck at the factory.
I told him I would not buy the truck until they replace the tires with top of the line Michelin transport tires. After about a 50 mile road test he told me he could not remove the factory installed tires.
So I told him I'd would not buy the truck.
He suddenly changed from "can't" to "can do"
The late model Duramax comes with a 10 speed Allison transmission is a dream to drive long distances. During August and September I put a bit more than 10,000 miles as I visited friends and relatives spread near and far across the country.
I was surprised at how comfortable the Chevy 3/4 ton was rolling on the Michelin transport tires. The truck was nearly as quiet and enjoyable to drive as my Hyundai top model Santa Fe.
such a nice truck
Hello Josh. Melanie loved the wheels but not the lug nuts. It's always best to get a professional to align the tires on the Wifemax.
I had to do locking alignment cams from dirt king on my 09. I had such a hard time keeping alignment even after I replaced the whole front end with mostly kryptonite. No big rim or offset just a 17' with minimal offset. Not the biggest fan of there IFS.
Great video man keep up the great work just wondering what you running for your compound setup
I'm looking at those exact vision wheels for my truck just wondering what you fit on there without a lift
33/12.50R22
@@TruckMaster so no 14 wides lol thanks for replying
How about you get a job and stop trying to scam hard working people 😃
Job well done. Truck looks great 👍 overall very nice job. 😎👍
Awesome vid! ❤❤💪💪
I personally never understood wheel alignments until i watched this video! Thank you A&D and Josh for sharing the useful information. Now when i bring my truck in for an alignment i have a better understanding. 🫡👍👍
That's the crap of being a technician. You're on flat rate and or commission, and the front end quoted an alignment for $74.99. 4 or 5 hours in its still $74.99 and you've made $15 for the whole day. Also an hour in and the boss is breathing down your neck because he scheduled more on that rack. People don't realize what this takes.
I’m not no certified mechanic but I do a lot of my own work
I’ve never done my own alignments
But wouldn’t you have to adjust or loosen the tortion keys befor or adjust to!???
Could be why the camber keys where rounded
This is a total side note but I was curious what brand the led strip under the tailgate was on the wide Max and If you’re happy with it I haven’t found one that works
Mictuning
Maybe I just don’t get that whole “ Negative offset / wide as Hell “ wheel & tire thing me not being in your neck of the woods & all….. here in good old Sunny Southern California most lifted trucks here tend to shy away from that look & go with a much more usable setup . I run 17 “ rims with only a slight amount of offset & 35” tires ( used to run 16” with 37’s , but that’s another story) , and I have had zero issues with alignment & drivability. 7” lift front ,& about 4” lift rear for a slight nose higher attitude ( an inch to two inches maybe ) and it goes arrow straight down the highways ( even on longer trips to visit Daughter & Grandkids in Texas ) at speeds of 85 mph & much more . I’m currently running Toyo Open country all terrain tires & they are MUCH quieter than the older setup I used to run ,& I would highly recommend them to anyone. Glad you got your rig ( wife’s , Remember 😏) squared away , & glad to see you continuing to share your Videos with us all . BTW, I voted for the Black rim /tire setup along with your wife all those months ago Josh . As we all know , “ Happy wife , Happy Life “ buddy . 😎👍
very nice
5:36 Me: Mom can we have JH diesel? Mom: No we have JH diesel at home
Cams can get ruined by adjusting while vehicle weight is loaded on them
Let me get 4 injectors out that scrap engine you got in the garage haha I'm in niles mi
Great video! Mine was rough to align also. That is what the shop told me. Did you have your aligned to factory specs, or to Kryptonite specs?
Chrome!
👍
Josh, I love the chanel, and that truck is insane! Quick question, pilar gauges or edge CTS3? I have an LB7 that I want to start monitoring.
CTS monitors 👍 less wires and more parameters to check
@@TruckMaster thanks for the comment, i go back and forth so much on this cause i love the look of a gauge but also love that a CTS can do so much!
So what did the alignment cost you
Hey what what kind of tires are they
I think the spacers are a smidge too wide. I’m sorry buddy, but I think an inch less would be perfect. Especially with that width of tire.
What size turbo will be a good upgrade to a 06 5.9 cummins. Or what do I need to do to get the best performance out of it
Let that thing break in like you would a new truck don’t just get on it.
Nope, drive it like you plan to run it. If that sucker is gonna chuck a rod it will do it in the first few miles either way. Babying it will cause the rings to never seat and then you get massive blow by. The rear end is probably all I would be worried about if it was rebuilt. Let er eat!
That is perfect advice we need to let the rings set in
Arent the headaches totally worth it when you can dump 50psi and get sideways 😂
Put fog lights in her
I will
Can’t blame the wifey for wanting the safety…..kinda got Earl to blame for that there mess 💪
How did you mount that CTS on the dash?
Plzzz tell me what kind of tires they r !!!
W brother
Chromes before blacks any day
Hey man have you done any water meth kits ?
Even on a basically brand new truck,(non rusty) it still took 4+hours, at a standard flat rate of 1.5 hours, you can begin to understand how some technicians just set toe. Let’s say, you brought in a rusty one, a tech could easily spend days getting it right, while both the customer and service writer are screaming at you for spending too much time on it.
I agree with you . I once did alinements for a big tire company back years a ago . And it took me all day to align my Porsche, all four wheels, two German specs. Could wind them to American standards in a couple hours but not German specs.
Your wife Drive trucks daily life 😮
Anyone who does alignments know how much gm trucks blow…
Nothing worse than getting an alignment and having the truck not track straight.
Chrome rims, black rims are for lazy people who don’t want to clean there wheels😅
😂👍
I would 100% put a air shutoff on a button for my wife in a 1000whp + truck
Black wheels for sure
Do not care
Of the rims
Is your channel back to making money
Yes but it’s still off and on at time but it’s much better now
@@TruckMaster ok so will your RUclips channel keep going
Paint the truck
First!
Done? $100k?
I would take 100k for it 😎👍😂
@@TruckMaster since it’s your wife’s ride, I will off her $50k.
Thank you , and never ever vote todays Democratic Party!
