Kinda foolish not going with the new engine… for 6-7 months payment on a new car you could get years out of this one…
Found on the road dead
Blue smoke of Head Gasket Death Ouch surprised she started Eric O @SouthMainAutoRepairLLC
The no start might be a fuel pump relay my EcoBoost just did it she would crank and no start
I would of saved up the money and then get it fixed there no need for a new car
Just an idea, but why not stop the video after you've done all your testing, and ask the viewer What's Your Verdict? Let the commenters have at it and a couple of days later post the second half of the video. Bit more interactive & challenging
I would trust you
I have a van just like that giving me the same starting problem
To bad he didn't donate it.
Thought this was going to turn into a porno. Very disappointed
I trust you and old Scotty. Y'all help us shade trees out
do you know, where is the crash button in a ford escape 2001? hello from germany…. first i think my fuel pump is damaged, now i search for the fck crash button for check xD
The engine sending smoke signals to Chief wahoo
Couldn't the heads be pulled, milled, repaced cam cap bolts and new head gasket?
Bottle of k seal she'll be all right😌
I love Perry's ice cream!
My Escape was still running great at 255 then the plastic connector to the lower heater return hose broke fifty miles from home. Jimmy fixed it, added a gallon of water every 5 miles. After 5 refills the car rolled to a stop and died. Towed home, fixed line, tried to restart, it cranked until battery died multiple times. Checked plugs, had spark but thought it might be fuel cut off switch but wasn't, Replaced with fuel pump with one bought 3 years earlier thinking it was ready to go out. After watching you give the final rights I finally gave up. I really miss my Escape which was nimble and quick compared to my Toyota Highlander which drives like a bus.
I need help with a Ford please can you contact me 2003 escape XLT I have done a ful pump diagnostic fuse is good x2 pump clicks over done leads and plugs and oil change car starts but I have to fether the exellerator to keep it running it will die if I stop any ideas please help

Bet his kids next mode.of transportation are either,two white horses,bycicle, or.Euber. 😂😂
Found On Road Dead (FORD)! Luv your stuff!
Sad to see that happen to this rig. I have a 2002 with 205k miles, and still running strong. I replaced the radiator at about 170k because the plastic for the upper hose had rotted away. I had noticed the leak, so the engine never overheated. These are great little rigs, and it's sad to see one die.
A wise man once said, "don't buy someone else's problems"…
That's some funny shit right there……amen
Reminds me of when a local used car dealer was buying auction vehicles and was having them dropped at my shop sight unseen he sent over a Charger with a 5.7l Hemi. It was obvious that it was overheated and no compression on 7 of 8 cylinders. I had a hunch that it wasn't the rings and likely the valve seats fell out of the head. Turns out I was right after I pulled the heads and found valve seats hanging off the valves. Obviously the pistons had very slight imprints from hitting them. Customer was adamant on fixing it so slapped new heads waterpump and misc gaskets and hoses and because I am a performance tech I gasket matched ported and polished the heads and put it all together. Ran nicely and at first shifted nice. I had already done the fluid and filter on the tranny as it was burnt but still ok and I was confident that it was just from overheating and not an already dying tranny. A few weeks later I found the car in my driveway and a note. …. it read you were right the tranny was ok till yesterday and now it has permanent nuteral in all positions. Whats it going to cost to fix…. he learned a very valuable 2500$ lesson. When engine was severely overheated odds are that the tranny is hurt badly and may as well figure that it will need a new one shortly after repairs to engine are done
Time of death 10:10am..
Perry’s. Good ice cream. Not a sponsor
the egg came 1st to other creatures some kind of dinosaur both Have the same genetic traits And they probably Laid an egg with a chicken in it lol
Any water in the oil ?? Didn't see a oil check …
R i p Ford Escape
Just change my oil and don't you dare try to upsell me!!
I dont unerstand why you wouldnt just replace the head gasket?
"Talk to the People."
US PEEPLE NEED TO KNOW!! 😛
I felt like you were beating a dead horse…trying to get him to run. May the starter rest in peace after that torcher.
you do not think that, it is a new way to exhaust the engine. You think "new and improved".
Throw some bars leak in it and ship it lol
She got a new aftermarket stack! Cut out thru the hood cool hoodstacks
That sucks, looks like a fairly nice ride
Hi what was the Honda in there for?
$2500 and he has a car with a known history. Can he get a car with $2500? Sorta never understood this reasoning. If it was, say $5K to fix it, alright junk it. Otherwise he is buying an unknown car that might need a boatload of work in the near future.
Nice headlamps
“I’ve got it set on nuclear” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Last Rites LMAO!!
Such a shame. It looked like a good vee hickle. I was sorry to give up on my Mitsubishi Shogun (Pajero/Montero). V6 3.0l. When the head gasket went on that, it leaked into the exhaust. Made a horrible smell in the cat. Tried restarting it after inspection and it hydraulically locked up, with water in the left bank of cylinders. Cranked it again, with the plugs out and it shot water into the neighbours front yard. Drove it without water, onto the scrap man's flatbed. Sad day.
Mechanic identifies issue. Says to camera lets keep revving the fire outta this ol girl
Ford forward exhaust option
Looked like a diesel running… Lol
Those escapes were pretty damn good vehicles.
