Shioot, i bet he dusted everything under the dash while he was there n wiped it all down with wipes and turtle wax

 

John, I went to remove the seat and I only have torx bits up to 50. Looks like the bit required to remove the seat is maybe a 60.

By the time I got started and figured out what I was doing, it was hot in the garage. I had intentions of getting the pedal removed, but the sweat in my eyes and my best shot at being a contortionist was testing my memory for recalling swear words.

Anyway, I got some decent video and pictures so I think I can make a video of them.

Although, when I removed the center console to replace the gauge for the auxiliary tank, I cleaned the edges of the carpet then and used some Febreeze.

During the winter modification session, I will be sure to clean under the seats and get the pedal heim joint done. That along with the SXE, GPR light, dual USB power port, and some other stuff I am forgetting.

 

Sous it is super special torx T55 PLUS. I have used a regular T55 and it fit a little loose but worked

 

I was not aware there was a plus for the torx bits, thanks.

I will order one from Amazon or pick one up at Harbor Freight if they have them.

 

Finished the install video, please see it below if you are interested.

 

Nice work and thanks for the shoutout!! One could just about rebuild an entire truck with the instructional vids you are putting out there.

 

All of the thanks should go to you fellas, but I appreciate it.

When taking on a new task or repair that I have not done before, I tend to over analyze everything until I feel I could do the job with my eyes closed. I have always been like this, and it has benefited me in the past in my military career when deployed or on exercise (war games) in the field. I almost always have a back up plan, then a back up for the back up. At least I try to keep it that way.

Thanks again to everyone, hopefully the next video will be for the T4/SXE install.

 

Yeah Sous, appreciate the shoutout. Feel like im hollywood now...next vid will be the RodMod..

 

The RodMod... I will have to remember that name for the video title.

I was very frustrated at the footage I got when installing the rod into the master cylinder. I took a good 8 minutes or so of video, and had about 30 seconds where it wasn't the back of my hand messing with the thing.

Thanks again for the advice and help, I really do appreciate it.

 

RodMod..lol. Hey SousBigilo, noticed 2 things in vid, 1 you may have missed...
1)dig the routing of master to resivoir.
2)you notice the clip that holds fluid line to firewall

Routed over booster

Clip fastened to firewall

 

Ha!

That is the clip I used for my gauges to secure them to the firewall because the clip was empty.

I will see about moving the reservoir tube as well, it seemed a bit tight going under the brake fluid reservoir when I was re-installing it.

The hydraulics had been changed at one point because as you mentioned to me via text the cylinders were metal and OEM was plastic. I will route the tube toward the clip and secure it somehow.

Thanks for the images.

UPDATE: Just went out and rectified the potential issues.

 

Received a notification that the video and thread I had created had been written up in an article on the FTE. I thought it was pretty cool and that I would share it with the forum.
