This is f150 is a sister truck to one that came in with a blown up engine. The same issue killed the last one. This time I think the driver saved it.

    I remember being summoned up to the vehicle manager at a company I worked for many years ago after a company car I used to drive decided to commit suicide and destroyed its engine. I had to sit in his office and was made to feel like the naughty schoolboy as I was being lambasted. 2 weeks later I found out that he didn't even have a basic car licence. I told my boss that I was going back to see him and to gave this out with him. I don't remember how many expletives were used by me but for some reason most of the security staff were hanging around outside his office

    Love your videos, but can't help but think your talent would be better served as a teacher of the trade. Our younger generation has no idea how to do basic matinance on their vehicles. You are a great youtuber don't ever stop.

    Ray, you really do great job showing that not everyone can work on cars. With that said, I throughly enjoy you videos and look forward to your daily struggles. No offense, but it makes me feel better 😌. I always get the same comment from customers. "Just hook up your fancy scan tool and let it tell you how to fix my car"….you know, because I am stupid and shouldn't be left unsupervised….smh

    Was that battery clamp an off-shoot alligator or snake when it attacked you? You do live in Florida…! I'll go with python off-shoot. Does anyone know for sure?

    “Gravity”, “click” and “dangly bits” have worked their way into my vocabulary when working on stuff.

    To rays comment about the stuck tabs and using some sort of aerosol liquid to loosen them the best ive found is aerosol glass cleaner (sprayway) is my favorite and the nozzle and straw from a brake parts cleaner can is the best for most dirty electrical/fuel/def connectors gets the dirt/debris soaked and soft and then you can use air to blow it out. Best part is its mainly soap/water so unlike brake cleaner or other petroleum based aerosol’s it wont swell/damage seals/o-rings in most connectors. Works well for me does take patience but beats damaging/destroying a connector.

    -8+yrs of field equipment mechanic experience been around the block once i’ll let you boys know when i make it the second time

    Is not using a funnel some kind of mechanic's rite of passage?

    He thought the tab was depressed but it was just him.

    Tell the truth…..how many had to make a trip to the bathroom after he drained that coolant……?

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars FRED ROBERTS says:

    II had this exact problem on my 2014 f150 it was NOT THE HOSE there were O RINGS inside the hose and they were the problem this is a very poor design by Ford the sad news for me i was told these O rings have to be replaced about every 20000 miles

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MrX MrY says:

    why didn't you drain the cooling system before pulling that hose off?

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Johnny Sechrist says:

    Say goodbye to universal heater hoses.

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars lechatbotte says:

    Oh brother drives without coolant, must drive without air in his flat too. Whiskey tango fox trot. Angry battery clamp yikes.

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Anthony W. says:

    With my projects I always find myself saying "nice and shiny" now. Just like Ray!

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Guy Desautels says:

    Why not previously check dipstick oil, in case of head gasket leak.

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 4 spd life says:

    I like how manufacturers and engineers think plastic is a good idea on heater line joints I dont mind plastic expansion tanks or rad tanks but every plastic joint or connection on heater hoses on my personal vehicle I'll replace if possible tho I own nothing newer than 06 so I have an easier time with it

    I know i've been working on cars to long when i can smell the anti-freeze burning off the block from my chair here. The brain is a weird thing.

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris Maze says:

    Hey it's running hot or making a loud noise what do we do put it on the floor. LMAO

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Nikki Marie says:

    Curious when the new thermo installed itself 🤔

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars han solo says:

    cars used to be so much easier to work on, cars from the 60 and 70 had no hoses or electronics to get in the way.
    the last car i had was an auxr8 falcon ( im in Australia} made in the late 90s changing the spark plugs was a real adventure.. and not a nice one

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Freedumb Under Question Buddy says:

    Why didn't you just drain the coolant prophylactively, so to speak?

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kenneth Schilling says:

    It is bad when you have a clamp on a battery terminal and it doesn't like you so it comes off and bites you. Too bad you couldn't bite it back.

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gerry Rig says:

    Call a Tow Truck. Much Cheaper in the Long Run…

    Made me laugh! You are correct, the pocket screwdriver is the greatest tool you can carry. I can't leave my house without one!

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kurt B says:

    I wonder how many mechanics would be ojt of a job if vehicle owners had all specified maintenance performed and did a inspection every week. Just giving a peek under the vehicle before driving off.

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Polczer says:

    It's gizmo!

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars K G says:

    You need to add some kind of dye to that 'test coolant' so you don't accidentally mistake it for blinker fluid. As least with muffler bearings you can tell them apart from other types of bearings due to the stripe painted on them…

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Richard Luce says:

    Gotta luv how what used to be a chunk of 3$ heater hose turned into a 165.00$ factory authorized part. Progress sucks??

    Pour something like that while outside on a calm day the wind picks up just then

    Can someone buy Ray a selection of Funnels for filling Oil, Coolant and Hydraulic Fluid or get them back from the Guys who ' Borrowed ' them.

    Would two ruined F150 become one X300? 😁
