What should I do next?

As some of you may be aware... I kinda have been on a YouTube kick lately.
If you are UNaware.. Head on over to my channel and check it out

TreySpooner's Channel - YouTube

Composing, filming, and editing videos is something I enjoy, so I have combined it with another hobby, my truck!

So feel free to give me feed back or like my videos or subscribe and what not, but what I am asking here is what would you like to see in my next video?

I have a few ideas I have listed in the poll, or you can add your own! (I encourage you to add your own. I only have so many ideas.)

I think you would be helping out the most by doing some of the mods that people are hesitant to attempt themselves until they see just how easy it can be if you don't mind turning a wrench. My vote would be for the in-tank mods, then the 50cent mod/retorque UVC.

Do the valve cover removal. We get lots of questions asking how to pull them.

Should show how to test the uvch also. Not all have to pull the valve covers. Show where the usual wear is on the wire harness. Stuff they can check before diving into the vc removal. Got a good thing going here.
Uppipes,turbo,injectors,IDM,ipr,Icp,voltage testing,cps,hpop,fuel bowl,the list could go on forever. You don't need to replace or upgrade everything. Most of what I listed has o rings to replace or oil to clean out of it or gaskets that need refreshing.

In Tank is on my list, but I wont be able to do a gauge pillar install because I already did mine, and it was not so neat.

Yes when I do the valve cover video it will probably be pretty long. I might break it into separate videos based on topics depending on how long it is.
I like your list because as you said, a lot of it isnt upgrade stuff, and thats really the point of my videos. Most people upgrading their turbos know enough to do it on their own. But novice home mechanics might need help replacing GPs or fixing a fuel leak.

Valve cover removal and UVCH and injector retorque and ESOF vaccum leaks are a good one since I havent done these yet and need too.

What about glow plug removal and install. Winter is coming and there will be alot on here with glow plug problems. I myself havent done GP's and hesitant to do it. This is great what ur doing...reps sent

An easy one to do is the drive shaft slip joint lubrication.
