When the vehicles are manufactured, the chassis is dipped in an electrocoat bath. This bath looks alot like water and the operator can adjust the current in the bath and this makes it so they can adjust exactly how much primer will be applied and since it is electrified, the primer will be distributed exactly even over the entire chassis which is nice. The problem comes when this electrocoat goes into the over directly after the electrocoat process and is supposed to be partially cured so the topcoat sticks to the primer. In this case, what happed was that the ecoat was overcured and thus there was a intercoat adhesion issue because the ecoat was overcured and not allowing the topcoat paint to stick to the primer. This has been an issue for many years. It started back in the 70's when ecoat was introduced. There you have it. It's not the water based paint at all! Also, for those that aren't aware, all paint used in the manufacturing process is a thermoset paint whereas it has to go thru an oven to cure. So it is not an air dry paint.

EVANS Waterless coolant is suppose to be safer for the engine. Which I quote from the website “Evans Waterless Coolant provides distinct advantages over traditional water-based coolant. The absence of water avoids the formation of vapor, high pressure and boil-over, and prevents corrosion and electrolysis. Evans’ high boiling point and lower freeze point allow a wider and safer operating temperature range. The benefits derived from Evans can be achieved in most vehicle applications and engine types, although Evans’ performance may vary depending on cooling system configurations.” Sounds interesting overall, I’d have to ask my Professor if he’d heard of it as he is ASE Certified and a Ford Master Tech. Hope this answers your question about it. Also, thank you for the videos you provide, they help me learn more about cars than what I have learned already. I’m 20 and about to head into the industry in the next year or two.

@@GaryH-pw9cm From what I have read, adding water eliminates the benefits of the Evans. You can add water in a pinch but they say that it shouldn't exceed 3% of the cooling capacity. But, you lose the benefits and now introduce a liquid that will lower its boiling point and introduce the possibility of pressurizing the system more than just have Evans alone.

Evans Waterless Coolant is a Jay Leno staple who uses in almost all of his cars. It is a permanent coolant for the life of the vehicle. Of course at prices from $33 to $75 a gallon, it had better be. The boiling point of the Evans is 375F opposed to 212F for water. Since the boiling temperature of the Evans is so high, your cooling system will not pressurize which is also (supposedly) another advantage of using the product. Cool!

@@TheSolidSnakeOil If you can get it to the boiling point (375f) it will explode in your face. I don't think you will be able to get the coolant temperature to that high of boiling point unless you disregard the temperature from the water (coolant) gauge and let the needle peg. There may be some pressure, but it should be much less than a water-based coolant. Regardless, you should not add water to the cooling system.

3500 Expresses also have 8-lug wheels and usually the 6.0L. We also have the peeling paint issue. These vehicles normally have the orange "OAT" coolant. It's really important to change the coolant at the specified interval or the entire cooling system will turn into Swiss cheese. Same with brake fluid. A "royal flush" might be a good idea here. Maintain your fluids guys or it *will* end in tears!

That would be carbon monoxide poisoning from exhaust leaks. As a paramedic, I saw two older vans with this problem. The human price was high on one of the calls: the van was on cruise control and had 12 people onboard. It went across the four lane’s center divide, hitting a semi. Of the 12, only the front occupants had belts on. It was a human Jackson Pollock. Figured the driver had fallen asleep, which he did. It wasn’t fatigue, though. Toxicology came back with CO poisoning. Better seals are there for a reason. Times change.

Rear main oil seals have always been a challenge. To my knowledge, when GM went to the 360 degree one in the 2.8 V-6 in the S-10 techs first experienced the challenge of them - do I pull the engine or trans; can I "sneak" it out without doing either? Great video showing how to get this particular van one. I was hoping there'd be enough room to get to it without pulling the trans completely. Looking forward to the follow-up videos on this. Thanks for the great cameo of Lauren/WifeUnit. She's as beautiful as ever. Ray, you're a lucky guy (hope you don't mind me saying). 😊

I went through 3 of these between 92 and 22...they were solid with almost no issues but you dump them at about 120K before the expensive stuff starts going. When I asked the Fleet manager as I ordered my last one on 2015 if the Paint issue had been fixed, he said ''I wouldn't bet on it!'' My 05 ''Shed'' all the white paint off in sheets! The 15 was looking good at 7 years so who knows. I just blasted the Bals spots with white Plasti-Dip and lived with it. The Express is still a great platform for a work truck.

Many states require annual (or biennial) safety inspection, Hawaii is no different. The inspection decal is placed on the bumper, but you can buy a bracket to keep the decal off the paint. Members of the military stationed in Hawaii have the option of NOT getting Hawaii license plates, however you still need to register the vehicle and place a massive decal (5"x6" maybe) on your bumper to indicate it's been registered. Pro tip: Rental vehicle break ins are very common in Hawaii...new residents are advised to quickly "personalize" their vehicle with decals to prevent it from looking like a rental (Jeeps for example).

Ray, This was a prime engine for changing to a (high mileage oil) for its next oil change, it will help re-swell the seals and reduce or stop oil leaks. Thats all these minor leaks are is likely from being old and seals shrink with age. I have a 2001 GMC Sierra with a 5.3L V8 and years ago I went to high mileage oil at 100,000 miles and the engine still does not leak any oil, I do oil changes with the high mileage oil every 5,000 miles.

The trick to removing those springy clips (including C and E clips) is to put a dab of blu-tak (or possibly also chewed gum) on the side opposite the opening in the clip, once you’ve rotated the clip around to get to the opening in it. Now you can spread the clip ends open without losing it on the shop floor. 😅

"Jay Lenos Garage" did a thing on that coolant in the past. No water, no oxidation. You have to get the system empty and dry first, but it doesn't allow oxidation, because no H2O.

You can bolt a wrench on the front cover To prevent torque converter from falling out.

I like using Evans in my old BMWs. It has a VERY HIGH boiling point, so it doesn't pressurize the system, resulting in less frequent BMW plastic explosions. With no water in the system, there's no electrolysis, so very little opportunity for corrosion in the cooling system.

The Jesus clip got the name because as it flies across the room one shouts "Jesus!, where did it go"?

@RainmanRaysRepairs Jay Leno uses that coolant in everything he owns. It prevents cooling system corrosion and hose degradation. The cooling system has to be fully flushed and dry, and all hoses replaced before filling with the waterless coolant.

Evans coolant is interesting. It does kinda feel like oil, but it's not supposed to be THAT dark. Something's got that coolant dirty

The problem with some waterless coolants is the flamepoint I had to diagnose a classis car that was on fire in the engine bay. Turns out that a radiator hose got lose and coolant that leaked out was sprayd by the coolfan over the exaust manifold and started to burn.

I always hated doing stereo's in those vans some of them, the only way to change the radio was pull the doghouse the older ones had bolts on the floor onto tabs, the bolts were long and covered in muck mud and rocks and rusted to the floor pan. Harder then seat bolts to pull. Then you had to fight them to get them out of the van and back in. I think that van you pull the basal off the dash and remove 4 7mm bolts.

Concerning the fleecing for vehicle inspections. Effective 1 Jan 25 vehicle inspections in Texas are no longer required. But get this, you still have to pay the inspection cost. No kidding.
