Hey Ray Ray. Thanks for doing my trailer tires last month. I work at dorman and I was a quality engineer from 2016 until 2022. When I started the warranty Rate was over 50% and I got it down to less than 15% before I took a higher position in Dorman. They've really turned the focus more toward quality.

I just bought and installed a Dorman coolant reservoir on my 2011 Ford F-150 with the 3.5 Ecoboost and so far that bottle is solid. It got awesome reviews from everyone who bought one and it saved me about $75 compared to the Motorcraft part. I also likes what Dorman did with the heater hose for my truck. Replacing the stupid plastic "Y" pipe with an aluminum pipe. Nice job!

Ray don’t let the comment section get you down brother, you’ll go crazy over a minority of viewers that you ain’t going to please looking to point out something thing to complain about, when you open yourself/life out for public display there will be jerks yanking your chain.

Don’t get involved in these internet flame wars, there’s no winners just opinions and like azzholes everybody’s got one.

Yes sometimes I feel I’m watching rainman rays little garage of horrors, but that’s your charm, you never know what is coming in the door and it works and is part of my morning routine at work.

I hated doing electronics warranty work. The pay was crap for all the effort. But there was part of me which just would not allow me to do a half- axxed minimal repair for warranty. I always looked for other potential problems- mostly bad solder joints (Just love that horrible lead free solder) and repaired them. I had close to zero call back rate (.01 %) and refused to compromise on my work standard and ethic, even if it cost more time and effort. At least I could go home feeling that my work was above standard quality for the industry.

I kept waiting for you to reattach the steering coupler, but you waited till almost everything was back in place. Would have been easier early on, but you got it. I really appreciate the calmness that you show, I know other mechanics that every other word out of their mouth starts with "F"! One I knew liked to punch things, didn't work out too well, as cars are steel and inanimate objects with no feelings, his fist found that out! Punching cars only hurts you!

@mikej9416 5 ай бұрын

Ray, you didn't look at the instructions that came with the new phaser. The bolt is a torque to yield. The new bolt has to be torqued to 30 lb-ft, then turned an additional 90 degrees. I have a new FoMoCo phaser with instructions in front of me. Confirmed the specs. BTW, I have actually done this job.

Warranties cost money. Car manufacturers have entire departments set aside to determine based upon the design of a car snd past failure history what the potential failures will be within the warranty period, estimate how much those will cost and they add that to the price of every car. Even the military pays for warranties. And it's usually a separate line item on the purchase contract.

The difference in the phaser is the old design vs new. They changed the thickness of the spring and added that stud to hold more tension on the spring. I know the wedge seems sketchy but we changed tons of 3V Mustang cams using those and never had one slip if wedged tightly like you did. The chain guides have a lip to them so it can only move so much. That said the only thing i saw was the phaser bolt install. It is a torque to yield and should be replaced anytime it is removed. It is 30 ft/lbs plus 90 degrees on the bolt. It is hollow to pass oil to the phaser. If over/under torqued they are known to collapse and back out. If this happens, it usually eats the cam and the phaser and sometimes the timing cover and valve cover. I also realize this is warranty work so they may have cheaped on that as well.

the cam phasers on the 5.4s were always loud and ticky like that, thats the way they were designed. one of the service bullitens from ford just told them to ad 5w-50 weight oil to quiet them down if anybody came in complaining about the ticking, the cam phasers adjust timing using oil pressure and using a heavier weight oil quieted them down.

Ray I like the longer videos. Looking forward to the exhaust manifold change whenever it comes out. I'll have to do mine at some point but right now it's not making any noise but I can see a crack or two in the manifold. Changing the phasers by themselves is fairly painless. That is in relation to doing the entire timing set. The most aggravating thing for me was getting the power steering pump back into place and the valve cover on the passenger side on and off without having an a/c machine to evacuate the refrigerant. I like the 5.4 other than all the timing problems. decent power and all. I'm considering either putting a 4-BT Cummins in it or removing the current timing setup and doing what I saw a guy on here did a few years go and do a homebrew (insert some random supercar name I can't bother to remember here) valve actuation setup with off the shelf parts. Not decided yet but I may re-power with the Cummins and do the mods with the 5.4 out of the truck. Sadly it's stuff like the timing issues on the 5.4 and other similar things across all manufacturers that have given me a desire not to own anything much newer than I already have. Too many stupid decisions put into vehicles by stupid politicians and the even more dumbass EPA.

On some Dorman stuff, they are notorious for junk, but now they have come out with some high-quality metal replacement parts like those valve covers and the PentaStar oil cooler upgrade.

I can relate to the bit about Florida humidity, Ray... been there for conferences and training sessions where it was so humid you would get out of the shower, dry off, get dressed, and then feel like you needed to dry off again before you finished breakfast! OTOH, the Cuban food and coffee was great! Was anyone else yelling "steering shaft" at the screen, worried Ray was going to forget the reattach it? "I wuv the wobblies!"... should that go on some of the next batch of mugs and hats?
