Hi again! So, i just finished replacing my front body mounts under the radiator support after watching your video a few weeks ago. Your video was perfect! Only thing Im gonna add for anyone doing it going forward-- I removed my front bumper and grille. Im in New England and the rust issues here are bad! Taking those off- which is easy- made the whole job alot easier and faster. Also i recommend using a hydraulic porta power to lift the body from the frame to slide the mount in- this is if you are only doing the radiator support body mounts. Thanks again!
@@michaelhiggins8994 Glad you found it helpful! I have a porta-power at work, the jack works just the same but yea I could see the bumper and grille being out making it way easier especially to hold the nut on the top side, with mine having a ranch hand I didnt want to pull it lol!
Just did this on my 2011 extended cab.it took about 3 hours from start to finish following these exact steps.Heated those bolts with a torch and they came right out .
Dawg I just came inside from working on mine. I broke the driver side core support bolt, so I’m in the same boat as far as trying to beat the rest of the cage nut out of there. I’m finding solace in knowing I’m not the only one struggling with this, and I can’t agree enough that I should’ve paid a shop to do this.
Yessir brother don’t give up you just gave me Vietnam flash backs. I remember regretting it so bad for hours I thought it was impossible to get out I think I used a bottle jack and a punch at some point
@@nick7.3you have to heat the bolts until they're glowing red. They'll come right out. They have to be glowing red to melt the thread locker. You can't get them to hot!
What made you change yours? Were you hearing a popping/thunk sound? Or was there any signs you noticed? My 13 is starting to have a thunk/pop noise when I go over bumps and it seems very “bouncy”. Brand new shocks, ball joints and wheel bearings. I’ve had S&B mounts for a while just haven’t gotten around to doing them yet.
Hey man.. Have you had any problems with your truck? Ive heard the 11 thru 14 trucks have some problems. Looking at a 14 but am also having second thoughts.. Thanks in advanced nice truck btw
Thank you and no sir I have not when I get to 1 year of ownership I plan on making a video on this topic, I’ve put like 8k miles on it and all that has went bad after purchase was the brake booster and 1 brake line. 2013 and 2014 6.7s are different than the 2011-2012. I’ve never heard anyone have any issue with a 2013-2014 that is worse than 2015+ yet
Your fuel tank is on the left. The drivers side / left side sits about an inch lower because of the weight from the fuel tank. Do NOT put the impact on the bolts! You'll break the nuts off from the keepers. You have to heat the bolts red hot to melt the thread locker. I can't stress enough that you have to get the bolts glowing red hot! Heat them until they are glowing red. They should come right out. Good luck.
Why would you deny doing a review while getting free LED's and also helping your channel? Most people would love that opportunity. You sir are a royal ass.
@@nick7.3I have a badass lifted, camo wrapped, under glowed, full HID set up, sitting on 37's with 22 wheels I would swap out a part to do any review of a product if someone presented me the opportunity. Maybe I'll start a channel and show these guys some love lol

Got the same grill! Makes working on my truck so much easier being able to stand inside.

How long did you heat the bolts for?

Great video! im getting ready to do my f350. im also replacing the front bumper, so thats coming off, which will make it easier
Did this fix the drivers side sitting lower? My 13 350 sits lower on the drivers side.
Nope not by enough sadly I guess the fuel tank makes it lean I don’t believe that tho
That's correct! Fuel tank makes the left side sit about an inch lower! @@nick7.3
I just did this with the exact same mounts. Have you had any weird irregular popping noises?
No. Check and make sure your bolts are tight
What made you change yours? Were you hearing a popping/thunk sound? Or was there any signs you noticed? My 13 is starting to have a thunk/pop noise when I go over bumps and it seems very “bouncy”.
Brand new shocks, ball joints and wheel bearings. I’ve had S&B mounts for a while just haven’t gotten around to doing them yet.
It was trying to fix body leaning
You will not change the body lean. The drivers side sits an inch lower because of the weight from the fuel tank. 😊@@nick7.3
best video on this
Thank you it was a sh1t job tried showing a real world example of actual seized bolts etc
@@nick7.3 you did a good job at that
How’s the ride? Any squeaking? I was gonna do these or S&B
Were you able to tell a major difference going to new cab mounts?
Tbh no not really

So, did the new mounts improve your ride?
@@josephmolin no it didnt effect the ride quality
Take headlight out next time and just bend up the tabs and put new bolt and nut and bend down tabs over nut
Smart, wish I would of thought of that

How many hours did it take you to do the job?
Prolly 5-8 hour range
Good video sir, we would like to invite you to do a review video for our Auto LED lighting. Is there any way to write you an email?
Thank you, I would but I already have LEDs

Yea I was glad it was done when it was over
What an absolute pain in the ass.
Yea this job was a joke would of way rather paid 100+ an hour to let a shop do it
