Video Recommendations?
I am looking for video recommendations from the brotherhood. Any newbies need help with something I dont already have covered?
I have a few ideas I am working on, but would welcome any input.
Working Ideas:
MPG Checklist
Dash Command (or similiar OBDII on iOS)
Aim Headlights
7.3 Sensor List
General Maintenance
Anyone have anything to add or something they want to see? The videos are for the brotherhood, so I figure I might as well get some input!

Ohming out the 42-pin connector and the glow plugs, and properly testing the GPR. There are way too many threads going into great depth for such simple and common tasks. Everybody would just link to that instead, and you'd get a lot of hits.

This might be hard, but show replacing the seals inside our 4x4 hubs. The expensive one, that needs to be pressed onto the outer axle, to repair leaking air issues. Guzzles showing the hub work doesn't detail the seal replacement. It is hard to know where to position it.

Yeah, but I fear I didn't get the seal/axle relationship perfect. I had problems getting the snap ring and thrust washers on, too tight. Hard for me to know where to position the seal exactly.

Once that was done I put the thrust walker on and unit bearing back in placed and used the unit bear to seat the axle. No problems at all, you just have to tighten the unit bearing down in equal increments with the four nuts.
Sorry for the hijack Trey.

The factory seals on mine were in two different places. One seal was flush with the axle the other was about a 1/16" from being flush. When I I put the new seals on both ended up about a 1/16" from being flush.

Yeah, I'd really like to see a turbo removal/rebuild/reinstall. Could make an opportunity for a short series or one long episode.
And Tugly's idea is very nice as well. Such simple things I haven't seen covered in videos, with the clarity of yours at least.

I like the idea of the turbo removal video(s). I just don't want to pull mine off for no reason. If someone near me wants to theirs I will have an opportunity to make one, but until that time it will have to wait. I've got 3 7.3Ls near me that I use for videos including mine.

I also am going to do a turbo rebuild kit, new wheel, boots and plenum inserts..
probably in the next month or so..
