brass gold colored flakes means broken thrust washers between tc and intermediate shaft caused usually by a bad tcc solenoid and or valve body channel clogged ....all this is due to very dirty clutch pack debris in atf. Gray metallic debris means worn gear teeth in the gears...again dirty fluid clogged filters will regularly overheat beyond 220 degrees and this then leads to fast wear of internal rotating parts...

I didn't catch why you have to remove bolt on the crankshaft ??

Life time ATF BABY!

Really like your "no drama" approach to these jobs!

EXCELLENT - I'm going to be doing this job within the next couple days

Nice video Will 👍

I have a question. So does the car need a tune-up & possibly new coils?

Nice smooth work Will! You sure have a nice shop with good equipment. i remember the old place and you working without lifts.

I used one of those old style swivels on an impact in a pinch one time and it exploded spectacularly. Thankfully, no injuries, aside from my underwear. 🤣

Hey young fellow next time you see Will thank him for the awesome video!

very very good teacher!! ^^ thanks

the broken part is call the ignition switch actuator pin for anyone that needed to know.

If only the other techs had his ability to read those wiring diagrams. How much money was wasted by gear head mechanics. There is more to it than replacing parts.

I'll never understand removing perfectly good factory components and replacing them with aftermarket. Then again, that constant engine droning would drive me nuts too. Will, Lisle makes a nice pair of exhaust hanger pliers. They're relatively cheap and they make short work of those rubber exhaust hangers. Highly recommended.

I heard the ground strap ensures the O2 sensors get a good ground.

What brake pads did you use

Great video! Same thing happened to my 2013 Yukon today. Had just picked it up from the garage yesterday for an unrelated issue. Watched your vid, looked underneath and saw the problem right away! Walked to the store and got the same kit. Thanks !!!

Excellent video and explanation. thank you!!

Nice one Will. I had a very similar one in a Nissan Elgrand that I fixed almost NPR for a customer a month or so ago. Had all the correct inputs, good power, ground and square wave signal and the speed control resistor tested good. So I opened it up and found two of the spot welded tabs to the motor windings had simply come apart, (one of the copper bars that you cut but right at the motor terminal) I didn't have my soldering iron with me, so I scrubbed/cleaned between the two tabs with a small file and reconnected the two tabs with the female end of a 1/4" flat blade crimp terminal to clamp the two tabs back together, which slipped on perfectly and nice and tight. Worked a charm, and no chance of them coming apart again like they could if they were soldered.👍

You're good with the audio & video will👍🇺🇸🌞Kool video,

What that power unit name and model?

I hate pwm devices. They've burned my ass several times already.

Nice work, Will. Too difficult to replace that one to take a chance on it. Interesting to know how it failed.

Excellent video!

Sorry for the poor video quality and audio. didn't realize until after the fact.

Cool beans!

I have an 04 cavalier been sitting for a year and a half, got it to fire up won’t stay running, not getting fuel, have to flush the fuel system and put in a new fuel pump. Thank you so much for this video, mine is far more rusted than this, I’ll let you know how it goes.

Was his transmission running hot ? I’m having the same issue and can’t find the leak.

This is the 1st of these to show the trap door access panel great job I’ve replaced two rear blower fans now and this round I didn’t have to crack my Freon lines to get access.

What is the part number? I need to replace mine.

Good explanation 👏

Long winded, aren't you.

Where's the other video

This is an issue that has been known for years now. It is due to a design feature of the block which has an open deck with slots cut between cylinders which eventually causes head gasket failure. Ford redesigned the block to eliminate this problem and has been replacing the bad engines. Of course this caused a huge backlog in orders for replacement engines. The design was changed around late 2019. If a newer engine develops a coolant ingestion problem it is probably due to a leaky intake cooler and is a very rare problem. EcoBoost 2.0 engines made in the 2015-2019 date range should be replaced as soon as this occurs. Some of the smaller Ecoboost engines of the same date range also have this problem and on those, Ford was replacing the block rather than replacing the entire engine.

Does it happen to be a U151F (my 2007 RX 350 has that and the previous owners had the transmission replaced recently before we bought it)

💯

Hi Will are you in Attleboro?

Great diag and repair.

Change the plugs & do an oil & filter change. Tell the customer to change their oil every 3k to 4k miles. Stop watching that oil life monitor on the dash. My 2012 Pilot will go about 10k miles before the oil change indicator reaches 0% - 10% oil life left. (My estimate). I change it at 3,500 miles..My son is a Master Honda Tech. He says most of the oil use issues on Honda's with VVT engines is from going too many miles between oil & filter changes.

Great job done will, thank you.👍🇺🇸

This was really helpful. Glad to have my tailgate working again. Thank you

Nice, quiet, and smooth.

Thanks! Will If I had a van, you would working on it! 🚐

Nice work, Will. Vans are never fun!

Nice job Will, thanks for sharing!

Is the over heating issue only to the ecoboost engines? Or all 2.0

How the heck do you do the drain holes towards the rear, the sunroof glass is in the way I can’t see the holes

I have a 2014 Ford Focus that's having the same problem but no smell. it just it kinda jerks when driving, it's a used car when I bought it and it had some issues. but not too bad. All suddenly started acting up with this problem. My question is can it just be reprogram or is it a transmission problem that needs to be replaced, what you recommend please and thank you
