Full Video Transcript
00:00 welcome to synthetic oil protection i’m your host evan and today’s another exciting day that we’re doing lube we always say in the channel love to lube lube to love and that’s what we’re doing on the tremor and we got colin down here i mean not colin uh yeah colin
00:23 yeah all right that’s colin all right we’re on the beautiful new truck and tell them a little bit about how you like it so far oh the truck’s great uh we’re gonna add a little bit of liquid gold here to kind of make it that much better and show them what we’re putting
00:38 on so we have uh differential service we uh indented the differential off-road all right so we’re gonna go ahead and take care of that you know while we’re in there you gotta get rid of this factory fill all right fill with some liquid gold all right and point to what
00:51 we’re putting on maybe you wanna show it to them we do have wouldn’t you fancy ah thanks differential i wonder what that thing does i think i think on this channel you’ve talked about this i know we have we have there she is in all her glory all right so we’re doing it the candies are going
01:12 on and even though it looks like it’s just eye candy it’s not this sucker cools the diff temp what does that do gets you a much better film between that metal so it doesn’t thin out as much and uh there’s the liquid lube itself that’s going in hundred percent synthetic
01:28 and if you don’t know about this stuff this is actually the very stuff that bobby unser used to use on his hulk climb car way back in the late 60s with al amituzio he helped pioneer this lubricant and amsoil is actually the first to make synthetic motor oil in 1972
01:45 first to make synthetic gear lube which is what that stuff is that’s going in the diff and the first to make synthetic etf fluid and collins just popping off this old cover so we got to get the doggy scraps off once we get the uh the old doggy scraps off we’re good
02:04 hey and if you’re new to the channel definitely subscribe we got some discoveries as colin was taking these bolts off he he took this right bolt off and all of a sudden it started coming out so we found out i guess that’s the drain bolt so that that little bolt right there the 02:24 bottom right one at the very bottom is your drain you don’t have to take the cover off i guess but uh we’re gonna get this old one off and we’ll show you what it looks like in a second gear lube looks decent how many miles is on her uh we just hit 13 000. all right
02:45 so that’s a good interval to get her out get her all cleaned up is that 13 000 city driving towing a little combination towing city driving a little bit of highway that’s great what were you telling with her mostly boat all right what was the weight poundage would you guess i don’t
03:04 know i know combined truck and trailer with the boat it comes in around 21 000 pounds all right so that’s heavy duty that’s heavy duty sweet nice triple axle trailer so she’s a little heavy awesome if we can get this sucker off a little bit of a stickler a lot of silicone
03:53 get you a hammer to pound underneath it little tap tap taparoo it’s like a whistling air tunnel down here at least it’s warm out oh there she goes she just cracked just cracked watch herself be prepared and there she blows oh wow that’s real nice looks really good so here’s our cover oem
04:43 and you can see a little bit of build up and clutch material which is pretty normal a little magnet cool looks good all right colin razor bladed it you got a lot of the some of the residue off with the old cover but he’s going to clean it up more with the little sander and then he’s
05:01 going to sand that little burr when he bumped the cupboard we got our banks power ram air diff cover we’re gonna unbox her right now finishing touches are on the diff we got her all wiped up and uh we’re gonna show you what’s inside our little angel beautiful masterpiece of high flow
05:43 you want to anchor out we got the honors column and if you haven’t seen the video on this check it out up here in the corner banks is uh the leader in uh diesel does a lot of diesel stuff and he’s got a world record for the fastest diesel truck and land speed record and a lot of things but this is
06:03 one extra thing to add to it so this has about 300 percent more cooling than a oem cover which you can look at his video he’ll tell you all about it but basically you’re you’re you have all this surface area that wasn’t on any other diff cover so gail said let’s go
06:18 inside and put all these little fins so it has more contact patch you cool the oil and then here you got all these extended so on most covers it ends here this is all extra and this is pulling heat out of the oil so by having this 20 30 degree cooler diff temperatures
06:36 you have a much stronger film which the oil film doesn’t thin out you have less metal on metal less frictionless heat and you don’t run into thermal runaway which is an exponential process of thinning out the oil so you can see the uh gentleman himself here this is the designer
06:50 here’s his beautiful bolts so it looks like he gives you the ability to get rid of the oem ones that are all like special to a nice other set if you want or whatever you want to put on and then we got our nice fresh o-ring kit that just lays right inside here so this is a reusable seal
07:08 and that’s it if you want to shove it on you’re good i got the box i really like how they have this little inset for that o-ring to go into yeah you don’t have to worry about over crushing it it’s got its own little hole where it seals nicely it’s beautiful it’s a beautiful piece
07:28 you’ll be feeling her up in a sec and the love doesn’t end there we got a cute little love letter from banks himself special dewey right here enclosed please find thanks ram air div cover you can read that and um absolutely gorgeous there it is right there you are now the proud owner of some of
07:54 the most badass performance products in the world in fact you just became 150 times cooler if you don’t believe us put yourself on a dino and see how much cool you just gained and while i have your attention how did i end up in this box that’s hilarious we got our o-ring pushed in which was
08:25 easy as pie that’s our first bolt going in which i think is the drain bolt easy peasy all right colin’s prepping the easy pack and this package holds about 1100 pounds of pressure so you don’t got to worry about nutting as far as it breaking on you when you’re squeezing it in
09:25 and then he’s going to trim the tip which is super easy we can use a razor or scissors boom and now we got a nice pointy little tip and uh we’re gonna start feeling we got a upper little fill spot right over here which i’ll give you a close-up on right here there she is super easy to get to beautiful
09:53 and it’s like pouring honey on pancakes you can see the liquid lube going in ah that was a beautiful shot there beautiful and when you trim the tip a little further down it’ll squeeze out faster and now we’re good awesome so we’re going to do that until it starts coming out of this you’ll see
10:14 it in the halfway mark in the sight glass so instead of cutting a new tip you can use the same tip just peel off the old easy pack seal which can be a real stickler sometimes just transfer the tip yeah just the tip just the tip second easy pack going in easy packs are way better than bottles
10:45 actually conform to where you need to get in yeah so the bottles you’re gonna have to try to align it up you mean while you’re leaking all over the place trying to find the hole this guy you kind of get the the nozzle in the hole and then flop the pack up so these are great and this is our uh three
11:05 355 rear end i think right your 255 35 year ratio dana 275 axle all right 275 there she goes she’s climbing the sight glass beautiful you almost can’t even see it it’s that clear beautiful beautiful is that it that’s it so yeah i think he says you know halfway up but that should be fine right there
11:58 we’ll settle a little bit yeah once the gears turn and it sticks on everything yep beautiful well it’s that time to go ripping second go here all right now we’re on to our diesel injector clean plus cetane boost so this is the power trio you got the cleaning where it cleans the valves
12:22 injectors carbon deposits inside the combustion chamber lubricates your fuel pump lubricates the injectors and then you got the bump and cetane up to four points in cetane and what that does better start ability a little more horsepower when you’re towing and you’re gonna see
12:39 a bump in fuel mileage and right here up to eight percent better fuel mileage so that really really helps out and uh it really uh gives you that extra little power under the pedal so colin’s going to go ahead and start putting it in and we’re going to put all all of these
12:57 in and we’re going to do a clean up dose it’s really going to clean up the injectors but down the road you basically just throw a bottle of this in every full tank and as i’m maintaining and it actually ends up saving you more money in fuel savings than what it actually costs and then
13:14 your injectors last longer so you got the goal for gobogopa we’re gonna throw these two little guys in i’ve had these sitting around in my car for a while these are for cars little uh little uh like station wagons and stuff like that a little bit smaller package size we’re

15:58 the motor oil today we did the rear gear lube to the amsoil severe gear put the ram air diff cover by gail banks power got the fuel additives in so we get some good driving impressions it’s nice and smooth so far awesome awesome awesome we’re out here on boulder highway in tropicana
16:27 and this is what they call uh henderson pretty much let’s see what she sounds like wow that’s smooth holy cow oh my god this thing’s as quiet as a tesla holy cow that is crazy how quiet that is there’s a gorgeous day in vegas 66 degrees out so that’s what it looks like
17:03 so we’ve went about point two two mile so far what does she feel like in point three miles wow that’s good that’s beautiful beautiful trying to break the tires breathing every year yeah yeah it’s a 10-speed auto i think shifts so smooth oh my god that’s gorgeous so yeah so you happy with the truck so
17:32 far since you had her absolutely yeah it’s a it’s a nice little change but it’s a good truck it’s a good truck to have over uh well it’s a more purpose-built truck definitely i’m enjoying it off-road capabilities are great with trevor package that’s awesome and how we were talking
17:49 earlier about his old raptor if you haven’t seen it check out the video up here in the corner really good video on his raptor what do you like most about this one the wow that’s man that truck runs good i think we chirped all the way through four years oh my god that thing runs so good
18:24 so what would you estimate the power difference after the oil and the fuel additives the cetane boost you know it definitely had power before uh definitely with chirp first second gear i think that might be a first getting into fourth gear and still chirping so there’s definitely a little bit more
18:42 there that’s awesome turning radius we don’t have so what’s the biggest pros to this compared to the raptor what would be the pros this is more purpose-built for towing more purpose built to be a truck the raptor is it’s an off-road machine it’s it has its place and it’s in the desert doing
19:06 60 70 80 miles per hour wow uh this it’s got its power it’s got its speed this is not a light truck we’re doing over anything we’re we are in mexico right now we just hit 80. that’s amazing closed course uh professional driver yada yada something dark side i can’t believe that this truck runs
19:30 i’m completely free that’s unreal so the pros are it’s a real truck the cons any cons to it it is a three-quarter ton truck it is heavy uh it’s not easy to park um it doesn’t fit in most parking garages all the all the common truck cons it’s not a half time that doesn’t just easily get around
19:53 uh but it does tell it does it does truck very well is it is it worth it for the money if you want the off-road package in a three-quarter ton and you don’t want a power wagon and you want a diesel yes this is worth a month all right it’s worth the money so there you go that’s
20:08 all it counts he he spent the money on it and you know that’s what i like to do is i like to get out in the fields and talk to real people that have real things and see if it’s worth it and there you go it’s worth it and this truck was built with off-road in mind
20:20 and that’s what it does and it does that well so it’s got its uh electronic locking differential it’s got its limited slip front axle uh it’s got factory 35s it’s got a factory two-inch lift kit it’s got pretty much everything you need all the bells are available to head over to the area of the 704
20:42 uh pretty much everything you need for a solid off-roading truck from the factory and it’s got it it’s beautiful all right colin’s the best for always being a part of the channel over the years and not only is he the best for helping out with the channel bringing his trucks over helping jeff but he’s

Eben and Colin from Synthetic Oil Protection added a Banks Ram-Air Differential Cover to a 2021 F-250 Tremor Super Duty. “Even though it looks like eye candy, this sucker cools the diff temp! What does that do? It gives you a much better film between that metal so that it doesn’t thin out that oil too much. Eben explains the features and benefits of the Banks cover in detail while Colin finishes up the installation with the recommended Amsoil 100% diff lube, which they call “liquid gold.”
