In this video I talk about oil changes and just how important this maintenance item is for the lifespan of the engine. I go over changing the oil on my Toro ZMaster 4000 zero turn commercial lawn mower. This oil change, although not specifically performed on a vehicle, is very similar to that of an oil change on a vehicle. We deal with draining the old oil, the type and weight of the new oil and the oil filter. All of which are the same type of considerations with a vehicle's oil change.

In this video I take my 1995 GMC Suburban (OBS, K1500, GMT800), which hasn't been washed in a very long time and give it a good wash with a ceramic spray wax coating to finish it off. The ceramic spray wax I'm using is by Turtle Wax and is called 'Turtle Wax Minute Wax'. This product seems to be a pretty decent product and is very affordable. To wash the truck I used another very affordable option called 'Purple Power Wash & Wax'. This product was just okay. I was expecting a lot more suds. After washing the drivers side of the truck I decided to wash the rest of the truck with a car wash soap that I've had for a very long time by Meguiar's called 'Carnauba Wash & Wax'. This proved to be a great comparison because it really showed the difference in 'sudsing' ability.
I also featured a pressure washer that I've owned for years by SunJoe (SPX3500) which I really like.

In this video I re-install the original factory Nivomat self-leveling shocks by Sachs. These shocks came on my 2003 Chevrolet Suburban from the factory and roughly 5 years ago I uninstalled them for a brand-new set of Bilstein 5100s. I really like Bilstein shocks and run them in all my vehicles but I just had this wonder about those shocks. After doing some quick research into these Nivomat shocks I realized that they seem to be some pretty cool tech. Being that my current Bilstein 5100 shocks were about 5 years old at this point I decided to swap the original Nivomats back in.
The vehicle in this video is a 2003 Chevrolet Suburban k1500 GMT800.

In this video I attempt to repair my 2005 GMC Envoy with a rough idle and a weird sound. This Envoy is very similar to the Chevrolet TrialBlazer with the inline 6 cylinder 4.2L Vortec engine. These engines can run for a long time but do have common failures just like any other engine. This video shows me replacing the intake manifold gaskets, replacing the valve cover gaskets and replacing the alternator.

Bilstein 4600 24-065009 in this video: amzn.to/3wuLzNm
Bilstein 5100 24-186643 in this video: amzn.to/3uLVBsS
In this video I show why I'm switching from Bilstein 5100 to the 4600 model on my 2003 Chevrolet Suburban. This truck has had the Bilstein 5100 in stalled for about 5 years now and I've certainly noticed a change. I decided to replace them but went back to the classic blue and yellow Bilstein 4600 model. I then set out on a 300 mile road trip to really get a feel for the difference. The details are in this video. Enjoy!

Here's the speakers in this video: amzn.to/3wq1BZ3
Here's the flex-head ratcheting wrench set: amzn.to/3ULzPQE
In this video I add two new speakers to my 1995 GMT400 Suburban. This truck, from the factory, came with six total speakers. The two furthest rear speakers have been removed and missing for a long time. I figured it was now time to put some speakers in there that didn't break the bank and were fairly easy to install. Unfortunately the factory size was 4" by 10" and in today's world there just aren't many options in that size. Instead I opted to go for a 4" by 6" speaker size since it was readily available and would easily fit inside the factory bracket with minimal effort. Enjoy.

In this video I attempt to fix my failing power steering in my 2003 Chevrolet Suburban. I've recently been noticing the power steering getting worse and worse at low speeds. If I'm stopped or driving slowly the power steering seems to completely go away. In this condition the power steering pump gets loud and the steering wheel just doesn't want to turn anymore. I've recently replaced my power steering pump and this time I'm wanting to complete the update and replace the power steering pressure line as well as the factory power steering cooler and return lines.

In this video I show what I think is the number one reason why most people struggle with soldering. It's all about the application of heat. The tip of the soldering iron needs to be applied to the center of the joining metals. The heat needs to be applied evenly. This video shows a few examples.

My rock light kit in this video: amzn.to/3uUsu6o
If you drive an off-road vehicle and don't have rock lights installed yet, you may want to consider them. I certainly didn't think I needed rock lights on my 1995 Suburban since it's not a rock crawler but when I saw the rock lights by Diode Dynamics I knew they'd be good for just about any sort of auxiliary lighting situation. In the end I chose to install as rock lights and couldn't be happier. I was able to be non-destructive with my install and use factory holes in the frame rails as well.

Edelmann Elite Pressure Hose: amzn.to/475GnMT

Lucas Power Steering Fluid: amzn.to/3MhrZcw

In this video I repair and replace my power steering hoses on my 1995 GMC Suburban. Both the pressure hose and return hose are being replaced. I was having an issue where the pressure hose was leaking/sweating from the threads and rather than trying to temporarily fix it I decided to search for new high quality power steering hoses. I was able to find a good set by a company called Edelmann which included an 'Elite" version that's supposed to be higher performing than a standard hose. All this work is being done on my GMT400 1995 GMC Suburban K1500 though this should be similar to the 1988-98 Sierra, Silverado, Tahoe and Yukon.

In this video my wife heads out on a road trip and I'm stuck with the maintenance on her car before she leaves. It's okay though, I love this stuff.
The first bit of maintenance is the oil change. After that I remove the throttle body and clean it inside and out. Then I service the transmission with a fluid and filter change and lastly, I change the 6 year old battery for a fresh one.
Hope you like it!

ACDelco 41-103 Spark Plugs: amzn.to/3P7NnCR
Battery Tender: amzn.to/3KQUwoy
Spark Plug Tester: amzn.to/3LfOqhV
1roadgarage.com
In this video I'm still trying to diagnose and fix a rough-idle issue I'm having with my 2005 GMC Envoy 4.2L Vortec. I've replaced a bunch of parts and the problem persists.
Today, I've decided to rule out a couple of things. The first is the compression. In previous videos there've been a lot of comments about doing a compression test. In this video, I finally perform that compression test. Secondly, I wanted to rule out the spark plugs. They are an easy enough fix and relatively affordable. Unfortunately, I didn't realize, until I started doing a little research, that there are possibilities of non-genuine ACDelco Iridium plugs out there. So, that led me down a bit of a rabbit hole but I'm pretty sure I've gotten it figured out.
Enjoy.
