Anytime you work on a car or van don't wear any jewellery big tam lost his finger because of a ring.

How'd you re-seal the chain cover ???

You wouldn’t believe how much has to come apart to change the clutch in an awd countryman. Good luck man 😂

This is what happens when you design your car to be "compact and cute"

Didnt know they painted garbage red. Neat

They have a service mode that moves the whole front end 2-3 inches forward.

A $2000 job in just labor.

Showing love from Plant City/Tampa keep the vids coming man!

Gymnastics is the real description 😢

That's y they drive em to grab air over dunes,2 drip unbolted components!😂🎉❤😂😂

This ain’t even that bad honestly

So I listened to the beginning of a few of your videos. Not sure why you’d think whining about the career path you chose would be entertaining, because it’s not. Blocking channel

My LBZ duramax you have to do the same thing

Remove motor mount bolts life motor to clear .revers action

Must have hired a G.M. engineer

Just like a 3208 cat

So they can maintain their service revenue from dealerships.

Ford, where the quality comes OUT before the name goes on.

ha try a 1uz the starter is inside the engine

I did my buddies Honda Odyssey like this

For the back exactly as you said. Work blindly and feel it. Use the 1/4 ratchet set and you'll be straight. I have an accord j30a5 same thing for space to work in.

Take a look at a Mitsubishi eclipse engine, it was similar with easy to reach plugs but the back set ones were under the entire manifold! Took a long time because there was a mess of wires to disconnect to get the manifold off

Show us taking them out and putting them back in. I want to see you complain too.

My problem on the J35A3 I was working on was the standard extensions were wayyyy too long to fit. I ended up having to buy an adapter set and put my 3/8 ratchet with an adapter onto a 1/2 extension, onto another adapter 😂 so I could pull it up enough to disconnect it and pull it out

Mirrors help

The middle one in the back is a pain in the ass. Prob with no seeing for beginners is they’re more likely to cross thread the spark plugs

Lucky your tools fit back there. I did an Acura and I had to take everything off and I still couldn’t fit something back there.

Ok that isn't hard...but replacing a 2014 jeep cherokee spark plug is a real pain, I'd rather replace that than my 2014 jeep spark plugs...

Exactly what I did on my mdx

That’s the only way to fit that beast of an engine

So they can charge more to replace it

This is reason 3,562,417,990 why Ford sucks!

Uh.

This is why I drive a lightning. Only thing you gotta work on is the suspension.

FORD IS SHIT

Its a physical huge engine that should probably be put in a bigger truck and its not only a ford issue work on any new vehicle

Pull the cab lol tgats what Ford wants

Never had that problem, it's a 10 percent rule, 10 percent smarter than the things you are working on.

Pull the filter housing off it's easier, like 6 10mm bolts

Use Ford park only the old ranks. You get offline, are garbage? Are you by anywhere else? Genuine parts, it's just a way to go. It saves you a lot of money in the long run

how involved is this? i’ve done quite a bit, but does this require any weird tools?

Damn. I hate looking at OHC v engines. Pushrod for the win

They couldn’t fit the engine in with an external water pump in the 3.5 for the Explorer, Flex, Edge, and MKZ. The MKZ the engine must be removed to service the water pump 🥴. The F150 3.5 is external.

Every company does this. There's millions to be made off of repairs being brought to their shops, if it was too simple/easy well then most people would just do it themselves at home! Not gonna lie, I'm pretty curious what a full sized gasoline & also a diesel engine would look like if it was designed for practicality/simplicity and to encourage home repairs?

I vote we start our own company building vehicles that last 400,000 miles or more with proper maintenance. Inline 4-6 cylinder engines diesel engines without any smog crap or any dep bull shot. Bring back diesels that run clean without restrictions etc that only costs money!

Ford why can’t you make time chains it last more than 80,000 miles? Why does it when you start those motors? They growl for the first five seconds why can’t you make transmissions last more than three years? Why are you designing trucks and cars to fail shortly after the warranty, just like German cars and are extremely expensive to fix, you need to put your lightbulb back on and better ideas because you guys are failing bad

I feel your pain man I just got through with one and they always leak shitty design but get that money

All manufacturers now design to make repairs as complex and costly as possible. They figured out that we were keeping vehicles too long.

I just changed the water pump on my 02 silverado and it took 2 hours, that's a crap design

This triggers my PTSD! Mine (Flex Ecoboost) went out in the middle of Covid. Couldn't find a shop that would do it. Finally did it myself in the driveway with >100* days. Popped up the patio umbrella, cranked the tunes and many Coronas and Diet Cokes later, got it done.
