The Silverado Vids

ok so i have a gmc sierra but the trucks are very similar and i posted awhile ago i believe in December that i would be doing videos around the gmc sierra 1500 platform and they have started and a bit more delayed then id hope but there on the way and first one up is the battery replacement and its very simple and can save you money with one of the most basic of jobs . usually a 25 dollar charge is what you pay on top of the battery already.
so here is the video for that one



To check your charging system with a simple multimeter you can find out how to do that here
 always be safe just know what your doing a well some aftermarket autostarts and remote starters will activate when exposed to a sudden charge

IS YOUR HOOD STUcK AND WONT OPEN

This is a very common problem in the auto industry , rust forms on the bare metals causing them to not move the way they should without proper lubrication. I posted a video on how to take care of this very thing as long as parts are not broken . so hope you enjoy its very easy simple process to do and not expensive at all if your a budget cruncher like me.
Some shops will lubricate this for free if you have the time and are polite but not always.
Any ways check out the channel for more helpful videos such as this one
also if i didnt go over very well on how to open the hood for you  its some basic steps
1. find some thing or have another person pull and hold your hood latch release in the vehicle.
2. gently bump or hit the center or latch position on the hood itself
3. the hood should pop up with little persuasion, if not pull upward on the hood as you do this.
4. follow remaining steps in video and solve your issue.
