The love that radiates towards your wife makes this video. Thank you❤

Great video thank you, I'm about to do the same front end rebuild on my 03 1500hd. Better then giving the dealership I'm guessing about 5k for parts and labor . I appreciate all the insights!

Just watched this video and thank you, I did just order the Detroit axle kit bit with the cv axels off of Amazon it was about 500 bucks.i should have it October 6th 2023 so next weekend.

Awesome job, I've done plenty of these and you my friend did it to perfection with great narrative skills. Regarding upper control arms, a quick tip is to spray paint the cams prior to removal, then on reinstall you just line up the cams where the paint marks are, that gets you close. Thanks for your time and effort.

I have watched through out the process of my own truck’s suspension renewal many times.
Thank you 😅
Continue!!!

Great video - thanks for all the explanations! Shout out to all the wives that help out!!

[scottburns]

Best video I've seen showing the work that needs done to put this kit in. I did some steps differently but the end outcome is the same. Great video!!

[steveaiello]

Great video. I dig how you mentioned the size of the wrench/socket for each component.

[coldspring]

I feel better about doing the job now. Big thanks and I feel better about my left front looks just like yours.

[theelijahsanchez]

Thinking about doing this for my truck and was hesitant, watching you go through it has given me so much confidence and your energy is encouraging. Thank you for this video 👍

You did amazing with this video. I have a 2007 LBZ with 154, 000 miles. I’m traveling in retirement and I’m going to do this front end job next year. I’ll save this video. Thx again

[jorgeleyva]

I love your video.
It’s very detailed and edited speed when stepping obvious.

[FarmerRiddick]

Yours is the best video I've seen, thank you!
The only thing I'm doing different/ in addition, is replacing the lower arms as well. Other video's regarding that, is the torsion bars can be a bugger to remove!

One thing I love about Chevy, is the design and parts stay rather consistent for many years!
Mine is a 2008 6.0L 3500HD 4x4 DRW crew cab with a dump bed.

Thanks again!

Everything I needed. Well explained. Thank you sir

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I have to say that your explanations, editing, and speed video parts were great for getting to the point and showing key elements without a bunch of wasted BS video time! I am just getting ready to order a front-end rebuild kit from Detroit Axle, so this was perfect! Hubs were already recently replaced with Napa severe duty, so they're good. My 07 Duramax only has 120, 000 on it, but my pitman and idler arms are toast, and the boots on the upper and lower ball joints are deteriorated... so I was gonna go ahead and get the kit with pitman, 2 piece idler, inner/outer tie rods, loaded upper arms, and lower ball joints.
Also doing Bilstein shocks, and new drilled/slotted rotors and carbon pads at the same time.
My truck sees as many miles towing a 17, 000lb 5th wheel as it does empty!
I have just a couple questions/ comments... I was originally thinking I'd completely disassemble and rebuild one side and then the other, vs. removing the whole drag link as an assembly and rebuilding it loose on the bench. Is it too hard to get the inner toe rods apart from the center link if it's still in the truck? I was wondering if that's why you removed it all together?
Also, wouldn't it be easier to just put a floor jack under the end of the lower control arm and lift "slightly" to remove the shocks, vs. turning the torsion keys loose and having to try to "reset" the ride height of the truck? Just wondering if I was missing something! Oh yeah, I almost forgot to ask.... do you know if there's any way to determine if the truck has a 3 groove vs. a 4 groove pitman arm, without disassembling it first just to verify?
Great video, and I'll be saving this to refer back to once I have all my parts! 👍

Awesome video! It made my worries go away and I'm confident I can do my ball joint replacement.

[diquanwatts]

Amazing job here only thing I seen was tightening the brushing at while car is loaded

[mrkelseykenny]

On my 1998 silverado I replaced both hub bearings, the rotor and hub bearings are held together with the 8 wheel studs on each side. Other than that this video was very informative thank you!!

[TheCorvetteBen]

Thanks for making the video! Just ordered my kit, which saved me a few $$ from buying something off rock auto.

[AlanScales]

This one of the best repair videos I have seen. Great job!
