Ford over complicates everything thing they build? Don’t ever go looking at Audi engines then.

Don't worry, I wont.

the worst thing they did that makes no sense at all is the Runner control system. Stupid plastic flapper valves inside the runners, vacuum controlled plastic diapragm actuators are bound to be trouble. Thats some elementary school engineering.

@Ghost Wrench you're 100 percent right. I've worked on a couple and now days I won't even touch one. Fords are SIMPLE compared to the garbage from Germany.

Yep, my 1999 F250 5.4 sounded exactly like these sounds. Drove it for a quarter of a million miles before selling it to a kid for top dollar. Never a problem. We are overthinking this. Your title is misleading. It says "failure." The motor runs as designed. It's just a noise. Ford says it's just a noise. I have the noise in my 2019 Expedition (exactly as depicted here). So do 3 million other ecoboosts. I expect to get 200,000 miles out of it just like my Super Duty with the same noise. I'm still searching for an actual engine FAILURE due to this noise. That's how I came across this vid. But, this vid isn't an engine failure. I have NOT been able to find a single piece of evidence of this noise destroying the engine yet....

Then people would complain about extended crank times lol if the sensor went out, you would be stranded. A on/off switch for that would be nice

My 77 Ford was a beautiful black on red Thunderbird 400 with C6...9inch rear. Smooth and powerful I long for those simpler machines. Today I drive an 04 F150 with 5.4 3 valve...its ok as my work truck but has a ton of issues built in at the factory.

I do it on my 2015 Nissan frontier pro 4x Because of Rich. I watch all his videos and I don't even own a Ford anymore. Good stuff 👍

@@charliedc2A I came across him cause I used to be a master at Ford. And he popped up in my feed one day. Now I'm at Nissan. It's a great thing to do. Like I said above. I have the Express lube guys doing it.

On the Nissans, brake plus full throttle at startup to engage flood mode?

@@bobbbobb4663 yes. Same as a ford

@@BeardedFordTech Thanks!

Try a different dealer. You have no idea what was said between your dealer and Ford. Its just as likely the dealer didn't want the job for some reason, and told you Ford refused the claim, when it never really happened. The dealer where I work is set up for heavy line jobs. We look for this type of work. Other dealers want nothing to do with big jobs. A lot also depends on how good the dealers relationship is with Ford. As a customer, you'll never see any of this. But if a dealer has a bad history with Ford, its a lot harder to get big jobs done. I can't tell you how many times I've taken in jobs like this when the customer tells me they were at a different dealership and said Ford didn't approve the repair. I'll have a new motor ordered before they're done with the oil change. If you have other dealerships in your area, don't be afraid to try them. You can also use a Lincoln only dealer. It makes no difference. I hate to see people get screwed over like this. Its not your fault, and if you raise hell, they may even goodwill the job.

@@AT-wl9yq hey. Thanks for the honesty. I extended my warranty so hopefully it dies before 120k miles then they have to replace it. I understand they are out of engines right now. I also understand the newer 5.0s went back to iron sleeved engines.

So do you HAVE to hold the brake down or is that a safety thing? And do you just turn the key on while holding the accelerator and brake, or roll it over while holding them down? (2013 f150 ecoboost).

@@scottie1858 At least on the '90s engines, holding the brake down and gas WOT keeps the ignition from starting, while the cranking gets the oil moving.

In the 90s and 2000’s, it was as simple as just holding the throttle open. On the new stuff with push button start, you have to hold the brake just to start the vehicle anyway so if you hold the brake and throttle, it does the crank only.

Very Good I'm glad to hear that

Does it have valve to hold oil in heads like Motorcraft does

@@lyleswavel320great question

Hello, Have you been doing this from the day you own this vehicle , how many miles on , any work or parts replaced on the engine . Tigo

Ditto for my 98 Explorer, on the flood start. Going to check out putting MMO in the fuel, as in how much?

@@dennyj8650your 98 explorer doesn’t have phasers and will not do flood start.

No phasers for sure. But it does the flood start. @@hadtocheathimtobeathim6549

The Ford Stealership lied to avoid honoring my warranty. It needed a timing job and they knew it. I didn't have proof until my warranty expired. Ford is a corrupt company that makes unreliable vehicles. They lie about problems if the vehicles are under warranty, especially if it would be an expensive job to fix. Now that my warranty expired, the repair will cost thousands of dollars. Shame on those crooks.

$1,600 seems quite a bit to just diagnose to be honest with you

It's about 2,500 to $3,000 to do a new timing phaser and chain set

It's not really that hard and it doesn't take any extra time to do it with it on

How did it go?

Life

Hello, Could you give us your appreciation on the brake and gas pedal trick we could be using before a cold start in the morning or after a long period of non running engine Tigo

@@tt6518 Hold down brake pedal, hold throttle to floor (do not release or pump) crank engine until you see oil pressure on the gauge. You have now pre-lubed the system and are ready to start. Change your oil every 3000 miles and ignore the oil minder.

@@TheBandit7613 Hello, That is going to be a ritual especially on the first start each morning. We know that the RAM do not have phasers but it has kind of lack of lubrification at ilde , I don't want to have a Cam/lifters failure . I have often changed my oil twice a year and will keep it as a rule now. Thanks for all the good informations you are sharing with us guys , I really appreciate and learning alot here . Good day .

@@tt6518 I can tell you want long trouble-free life from your truck. Smart. I'm guessing your truck is not a daily driver. Things that are not good for your engine: Short trips. They don't allow the oil to get hot enough to vaporize the condensation (water) in the oil. When there is water and fuel in the oil acids form and degrade the oil and corrode the engine surfaces. This also leads to sludge formation. Not good. Short trips here and there are ok as long as it's mixed with longer distance driving too. Longer distance being 5 to 7 miles. When you start the truck, let it warm for a minute and be easy on the engine for the first couple miles to let the engine parts expand. There are different metals in the engine and they expand at different rates. Lets talk about the trans. it's expensive too. Every spring I change the trans oil, it's cheap and easy. I have a vacuum pump. I stick the hose down the dipstick tube and suck it out. I don't get it all but I get most. Takes 10 minutes and I don't even get dirty! I measure what I remove and replace with fresh trans oil. I have transmissions with almost half a million miles that still shift like new. (4x4, I also suck out the transfer case) This also keeps the seals and gaskets in good condition. None of my (10) vehicles leak oil. if you are interested, let me know and I'll leave a link for the vacuum pump I use. It makes changing trans and diff oil changes easy.

@@TheBandit7613 You are right when saying short trips are armful,I see it everyday at the job,we can see especially in winter months within a 2 months period only sometimes, oil is getting water,gas and all the contaminants from cold and short trips uses, level going up to 3/4 " passed the max mark sometimes, both turbo and non turbo engines too . My 2 cars are not driven every day so I am concerned about it . The RAM has the 8 speeds Trans and flushing it is a little bit of work , I have bought this truck 3 years ago with 48.000 kms on , have 60000 on now , Trans oil is in since day one, have just received all parts needed to flush it and your idea of pumping out a measured quantity is a good one , I will be using Valvoline ATF instead of the expensive Mopar one , the plastic pan will be replaced with the removal filter one , thanks to passionate peoples like you we are able to find on the net , a big 👍 to you . Tigo

Glad you like them!

Another thing for us independent shop diesel techs for us to explore on these new trucks…

It's the vct bouncing in the housing and the spring clicking off its seat and back on

2020 was the last year for this issue and this was a 2018 if you look in the library will find the live video stream in that section

Chain?

They want to do spark plugs and stuff more around a tune up. I feel like they want to keep soaking me for $500 visits versus fixing the issue. Codes don't always come up but they're always the same ones when they do. No misfire codes or stuff like that 🤷🏻‍♂️

It's about $2,500 to 3 Grand depending on where you go and yes you do it about a hundred fifty thousand miles

just a like? have you seen bad phasers that dont make noise in my experience they make noise

Yeah the hybrids won't do that

We dont see those fail until 150,000 and then sometimes they go longer

You could be dealing with a whole bunch of things man not just ignition it could be fuel it could be a torque converter problem I mean you can't just throw Parts at something and expect to find it

A cab off is not for everybody and it really doesn't save that much time and I would rather not mess with things if I don't have to

This way if something gets broke or something happens along the way where I have to stop and push the vehicle back outside I still can

@@FordBossMe Yeah i hear ya, everyone has their way . Sucks when you have a bay tied up and and the parts guy made a mistake and just shrugs his shoulders.

Yes

Yes you can

@@FordBossMe Dropped it off today. I do have start up videos if that would help determine what is going on. Thank you

They seem to be ok for the most part

Yes it is, I have a couple Husky was my first bigger box - then I got a macimizer from Mac

No I don't

Flood mode start is bandaid only… only buying time

Thanks

No not really it just has no pump to prime the system

Oh yes replace as much as possible, about 3k - 3500

@@FordBossMe Thanks for your reply. I really enjoy all the knowledge you share with the viewers. It is much appreciated.

Yes

It won't help normally but you can try

@@FordBossMe so to get max life out of this engine should I just use your crank for five or six seconds and then start method? The engine still pulls very strong and does not have any idle issues

I'm not in the new home I had to move out of the apartment today and I don't move into the new home until Wednesday

@@FordBossMe oh ok. I’m still glad you got an home

I'm not sure buddy we don't have any dedicated videos for training on that amongst the guys that I know of

@@FordBossMethank you for the reply! I bought one thinking that I could master mechanic my 08 5.4 & 11 5.0 but the dadgum VCM3 gets complicated with no manuals or online vids to resource. I cleared lifetime history of my transmission adaptive learning on the 11’ and it wouldn’t shift past 3rd so used manual shifting to teach it how to shift again hahaha

We replace what is on the parts list

Seems alot but I'm not thay dealer -

And one of these cam phaser videos I give you the updated part number and sometimes in the comment section I pin it all the way to the top people just are too lazy and they don't look

No didn't say that about the 5.0

I said that about the 3.5 ecoboost f150s
