Trust the experience of those with the experience. Experience has its own reward. Worked in a Ford dealer for many years. We techs would discuss many issues over coffee breaks and lunch times together. We often resolved a lot of issues. These websites help make better techs. Thanks for you input. The old school guy.

THIS is why I took the 2400 mile round-trip from Texas for Brian to do the timing job on my 5.43v (it's over his left shoulder at the start of the video). Local dealer wanted $7k for the job, other local mechanics just looked at me with blank stares having no clue what I was asking for. My back and leg injuries would not allow me to take on this kind of job anymore, even with his how-to videos. Brian is the best diagnostician I have ever seen. Literally one in a million. Wish he would move to Texas, we need folks like him here.

Exactly. Problem is, we've allowed the government to get out of hand and dictate how we live life. Some of the modern safety features on new vehicles definitely save lives, but so much of what was involved with the $5,000.00 tail light repair is just unnecessary IMHO. Same for CAFE standards....ridiculous government mandated economy standards that force car makers to do really stupid things trying to meet those so-called 'standards'. And (sorry for the rant) lastly, our crazy addiction to every conceivable BELL AND WHISTLE on new cars and trucks that is beyond ridiculous. And yes, I'm an old fart, too.

I had a 2016 Transit towed to my shop a couple weeks ago, had parts cannon fired at it already, starter, trans range switch, ignition switch, battery. Was taken to a Ford dealership for a pcm, and dealer told him it needed a $6k transmission replacement. I was the second opinion, it had 20 stored codes, had to be jump started every time, trans did weird stuff, didn't shift. I went through my checks, including what was already done, checked the big fuses under driver's seat, all that. I found a MISSING FUSE in the underhood fusebox, cleared all the codes, fixed for under 2 bills. Owner was extremely happy with me and extremely pissed at the dealership 😂😂. This was the first of 2 cars from rip off dealers, 2nd was a Hyundai but that's story for another time

I got a second and third opinion on my wife’s ‘17 Explorer for a cylinder 3 misfire (2.3 EcoBoost), and coolant loss. 3 dealers couldn’t figure it out, all saying coolant wasn’t losing enough pressure. After some research and watching your videos of EcoBoost coolant issues, a trip to Harbor Freight for a camera confirmed my suspicions… coolant in the #3. Fortunately it was just a blown head gasket. But 3 Ford dealerships couldn’t find it. The one that did, was only after seeing the misfire code show up, even with me showing them pictures of coolant in the cylinder!

I did a second opinion once, and I was shocked the second opinion coincided with the first one. I had a 1995 Ford Contour with the 2.0L. It overheated. Ran like a champion, but the temp gauge would overheat. Shop said engine had a blown head gasket, and it was causing air to enter, to cause it to overheat. Seemed odd. Lost no coolant, heater worked great. Took it to a second one, they also suggested the engine. Not wanting to dump a lot of money, I decided to take a peek at it. I was only 16 at the time, and it was my first car, my parents didn't want me to break something. Back in the day, found the 1995 Ford Car service manual. Started peeking in, found troubleshooting steps. Noticed when the temp gauge got hot, noticed the fan didn't kick on. I forced the fan on, temp gauge dropped back to normal. After that, I put a thermometer into my coolant, temperature was about 160F. I let the car go way into the red, the temperature was about 210F, and then the engine fan kicked on. The Contour had 2 sensors I learned. 1 for the PCM, and 1 for the gauge cluster. Replaced the right sensor, noticed that the sensor to PCM was replaced too, car never overheated again. I think about $15 from the Ford Dealer back then? After that, I have never trusted a shop again lol.

And boy, when they go out, they go out! One wheel hub went out about 2 months ago and only knew about it because 4 out of the 6 lug studs sheared off and I was getting a loud noise from that wheel! Not more than 2 weeks later and the other bearing started to go out and i just got a weird metal on metal noise from it. Went to inspect it with the truck up in the air and i COULD NOT even spin the bearing! That's how bad it was. I couldn't believe these were the factor hubs. No idea they could last that long!

The dealer was in a suburb just southwest of Chicago. He seemed friendly and quoted me $1400 give or take. He said they would have to send the vehicle to a person who specializes in installing an after market system. Then I learned about Forscan. Then I learned that all I needed was a $40 hood safety switch from Amazon and a $17 key fob. Works like a charm!

Changed the solenoids on one bank (even though only one was diagnosed as bad) for about $500 .. truck has been driving like a dream since.

Back in the day when I worked at a shop, I found the best way to locate suspension noises was to put the car up on the lift and then lower the wheels, one at a time, onto a stand to take the weight off the suspension. Often when everything his hanging, nothing will seem loose or squeaky but if you take the spring tension off the culprit will show himself. That was what you did with a pry bar but if you use a stand, you don't need a lot of muscle. Every loose component will move more easily. I would usually do all four wheels, one after the other. Sometimes you will find more than one loose component.

@fordtechmakuloco, great stories! Thank you for being honest. You helped me tremendously when I replaced my timing components. The dealer told me I needed a new engine because I was a little over due on an oil change but had otherwise maintained my vehicle. So glad there are still honest mechanics out there.

Great humble man. I have been watching Brian for years. He has so many super cool videos. Some of my favorites r when he rips the dash out and balances it on the seat. Or when he pulls out the sledge. Those r always gonna b good. Ask him about his Bosch screw gun or cat claw.
