Oh, it's so bad. Whatever. Let it ride something easy. Hood Hello everybody, good day to you! Welcome back! Glad you're here! Uh, so you guys have seen me in the past, Uh, do some fairly questionable uh repairs, or at least use some questionable uh uh strategies to achieve an end result. and uh, we're gonna do something. This may be the sketchiest of all sketchies on this 2000 Uh, F-150 That uh, seems to have a flat tire in a couple days. it's been sitting here. So the story with this truck is is basically the Uh transmission cooler which is within the radiator has sprung a leak and that has caused the transmission fluid and engine coolant to communicate back and forth. That means they're mixing together. Consequently, the transmission ended up full of Uh engine coolant and the radiator ended up full of transmission fluid. Um, they weren't separated. It was like a frothy brownie pink kind of mixture substance. Either way, we, uh, we pulled the pan down and inspected the transmission pan and found a bunch of clutch material in the bottom, at which point I felt compelled to condemn the transmission. The problem is is finding a junkyard replacement is sort of difficult and they're expensive. A remanufactured unit is extremely expensive and pulling this one out and having this in rebuilt is also expensive. So we're going to attempt. against my better judgment, we're going to attempt to, uh to save this thing and make it work a little bit longer. So I'm going to go back to the optimistic plan of basically flushing the daylight out of this transmission. We're going to replace the radiator to stop the leak. We're going to flush the trans. We're going to try to save it and it's either gonna work or it's not. Uh, the guy that owns it. Loud noises from the grinder, the guy that owns it is aware of the wrists, and basically this is a cost situation kind of problem here. So I'm gonna air that tire up real quick and we're gonna nose this thing in. and I'm gonna go ahead and pull and replace the radiator first, because whether we ultimately end up putting another unit in this, or I can save this one, the radiator still has to be changed. So we're going to change the radiator. and then I'm going to try to save the trans. If it doesn't work, uh, we'll we'll figure out what to do. Maybe the guy can find a used one. or maybe you can buy another truck and we can use that one. I Don't know. So stay tuned because this is going to be a very interesting conclusion to this video. Yeah Personally, I'm in the camp of let's not waste good money on bad car parts like blown up Transmissions But that's what we're going to do. So let me air this tire back up and then we'll get started. Oh and by the way, we have no idea what the mileage is because uh well, the gauge cluster doesn't work. It's got a lot of miles guaranteed. 187, 431 light years. We'll call it that. There we go, that should about Encompass all the other uh possibilities here. Uh, that's about right right there. Good to go powering down All right. That grinding now is, uh, needs to stop. So I'm turning the radio on. We need some tunes. Oh by the way, I I did make a video on, uh, the transport pan removal and inspecting this thing. Um, if you'd like to go back and refresh yourself or if you missed that video, uh, just go ahead and check down in this video's description and uh, the first link at the top will take you back in time to the first. uh, first video on this particular truck. and yeah, that's nasty. look at that. Ew. All right. So first on my list here: I Need to get this. uh K n higher performance uh. intake system removed. It's a series of uh, hose clamps and some connectors. It looks like I can't get to that one. Do that later. A couple clamps over here. we're gonna pull this guy out. Then I can pull the radiator shroud out. It will get everything disconnected, drained out, unbolted. all that good stuff. Um I'm actually hoping for. Well, this section to be easy to saving that transmission is going to be a challenge. It might not even be possible. We're gonna try it. No promises though. no promises. And there's that mass airflow connector there we go. Put that aside. potato in comes with me. okey-doke So the Shroud uh should be clipped in on the bottom and I can already see that the clips are broken and it bolts in up here at the top. So we'll pull the top bolts out. pull this shroud out of here and that's going to give us access to these hoses and these transmission lines down below. Come here. Washer. Seriously. I got it now. Look yeah, there. got it cool. All right. that's one side. let's check that other side. There it is. found you. Yeah, that's uh, hard to reach on your kicks. 11 millimeters too. That's the weird part about that. It's an 11 mil fastener. Wait, yeah, it was an 11 mil. Fastener it's gone now. Oh, error and judgment I thought I was going to be able to slide this thing out, but uh, that's not going to be the case because the fan is is hanging on to it. So I'm gonna have to unthread that fan and disconnect it from the water pump. and since we're doing things all sketchy style I'll continue the trend of sketchy and inappropriate tactics. uh with an air chisel. but it's okay, don't worry I have a I've done sketchier things in the past, this is gonna work out just fine. So all I got to do is get this little chisel on here. It's the same mechanism as like an impact gun and put it on the edge of the Fastener. Just give it some love tats your turn just like that and it should be loose now. I can reach in and just rotate the fan clutch and it will begin to unthread from the water pump nice and easy. Yes I know fan clutch tool I know. but I have chisels and it works I have a fan clutch too tool also. but this way is just. it's so much easier. That's why I did it. Plus, if we're going to be doing something sketchy, you've got to remain consistent. We can't. just you know, be halfway sketchy. We got to go. We got to go full on like sketch Ematic here. Anyway, so the fan is, uh, fans loose now I've seen to fish the fan and the Shroud out in One Singular motion. Um, also probably easier said than done. So let's see how this works. Come out fan and the Shroud is next and it's still doesn't really want to come out of there. Got her Everything's broken. Okay, so the next thing you're going to ask is why would I replace the radiator with a leaking internal transmission cooler with a new one before fixing the transmission? And that answer is very simple. if I fix the transmission, flush all the fluid out and then I connect it to this radiator. What's going to happen is as the fluid flows through, it's just going to recommunicate again. So yes, when I install a new radiator, Yes, it will contaminate this cooler inside of the radiator with that mixed up transmission fluid. However, when I go to do the fluid exchanges on it, it'll just simply flush all that out and it won't be a problem. So yes, I will contaminate the new unit. but I will also decontaminate the new unit very swiftly. Okay, we're going to need this drain pan. I'm gonna borrow it from the Alexis that lives here. Toss that thing in right down there and I think there's a drain. Well, there's a spot for a drain, but it's either broken off or it's not equipped. I Can't really tell you? maybe I don't know. Is that like a hex in there? Can you guys see? Hang on, let's get some more light. I'd love to just be able to drain this with the pet cotton valve. Hmm. maybe I can let me get a 10 millimeter hex socket and we'll see if I can't. Uh, open that thing up. let's see if this is gonna work here. Yeah, well, it's it's turning. Is it gonna come out? Yeah. So it was broken off. it looks like it. and Let It Ride What do we got in there? Nothing. It's not even draining. it must be all plugged up. Look at that nasty Ford Blood leaking everywhere. So uh, since that drain's not draining, this actually might turn into a mess because when I pull this off, it's gonna. It's gonna leave food everywhere I Don't wish for that to happen. but uh, not exactly avoidable. And no, I'm not changing the hoses or any of the other stuff on this. Oh that's so bad. Look at this, you guys. It's not supposed to. Not supposed to be that way. Foreign blood. Bye here. We'll just put that aside. Keep that out of the way. so that's the upper hose. Let's go over and get the lower hose removed and then we'll pull the transmission cooler lines off of it and pull this unit out. Okey-doke So since we're draining on that side and we're going to be draining on this side, looks like we need two, uh, little green oil drain buckets and a 16 millimeter wrench. You know, the cool thing about everybody having worked on this at some point is a lot of the stuff that gets broken during disassembly is already broken. Like the you know, plastic retainer clips and things like that. So I don't really don't have to worry about breaking anything because it's it's already broke. which I Guess that's a win I'll call that a win. Why not? Better than being a pessimist? Okay, come on out of there. This one's a less reluctant to be compliant. which is good. That means it's American reluctant to be compliant. It's a nice way of putting it, you more nasty. Just let the radioactive board blood flow. look at that stinks too. All right now. right here. we've got this little itty bitty vent hose. Pull that guy out of there, wiggle it, some pop that guy off. There we go. So radiator is free. Disconnected both the hoses. We just need to pull these mounts off that that one there and the other one on the other side and then this unit should come out. Okay, two 10 mils chicks and that's one. Mount free bolt is stuck, another mount on kick. Okay, I'm silly I forgot the lower radiator hose I I even just said that I removed it and I didn't because I think right here. Okay here. let's uh, let's spin around and get down a little low and get that lower clamp off of there. That trans fluid is still like oozing and bubbling out of there too. Nope, the wrong pliers I need to be using my hose clamp pliers Shameless promotion available in Amazon links in video description. That is all right. Let's pull that guy back right there. and I need to re-center my drain pan. Bear with me. move that over some and I'm gonna reach down and pull this thing off the radiator. It's going to be a mess. A bunch of water. Yeah, that's all water dripping out of there. The water must have been settling at the bottom. That's what was happening. Okay, round two, let's give it some more. Oh, it's so bad. Whatever. let it ride extra nasty. Okay now. I Do believe that this radiator will, uh will come out with these. Let's just give it a tug. Yep, still draining. Stuck over here. now. what's going on? Nothing. Get that out of here. Come on Radiator! I Don't have all day. here comes. got it? Set the sting right over here on the towel so it can't contaminate my floor. All right, that's our transmission destroying radiator. It's a good thing we integrated that uh, trans cooler into that tank to save the safe space and money and parts count. The job. Oh no. That comment was reminiscent of the of earlier days when my sarcasm and cynicism. Reigns Supreme Above All Else Two towels. Well now what do we do? Things contaminated with the with nasty everywhere. Oh put the new radiator in. let's do that next. Three to one says it's the wrong one. What do you guys think? Do I get the right part? Hope so it's got a valve. Yeah I think this is it. Looks like it smells like it tastes like it. Yeah I think we're good. That's weird. It just started randomly flowing more fluid. Look I walked away and it was stopped and then I came back and now it's draining more water out of it. Okay new unit coming in. We're gonna lower this bad boy right down into position. except I have it upside down There we go. and whenever that thing's done draining, you can hook it up. Okay, whoa. don't go anywhere. Let's get uh, the mounts set up real quick so it can't Uh, if you flop around, there's one, there's the other one. Click squared. All right. Okay, so uh. stage two of that hose draining appears to be done, so we can go ahead and pull all this plastic stuff off of here. And little plugs don't need those. I don't know what this piece of plastic is even doing here, but it's stuck. It's stupid. Shouldn't even be. What is this? Why is that even here? Get out of here All right. Contaminated Lower hose. Yeah, yeah, that's not working I need to climb up here a little higher I I Don't have the reaching down four feet hunched over strength to manipulate this thing one-handed I can't do it two-handed Uh, because one hand is holding me up and it's it's oily man. Why it didn't have to be this hard? Let's try the right hand. gender have a little bit more strength in the right side. Are you serious? How did I get the old one off like this? Makes no sense. It's because this hose is ruined from being covered in trans fluid. That's why. Oh there it goes. Yeah, nice and easy. Okay, going back in with the hose clamp pliers again. Come here. clamp this guy back in. Now. Sure it goes. It goes down there now that hose is so soft and Squishy Okay, we need this little yellow plug out of here and that's not tight so we need to tighten that a couple turns. Should, uh, handle that situation there? Click. There's our lower hose for the transmission. Let's get this guy started. Come on. Get in there. Got it? I Think that's good? Come on. I'm getting tired of this. I'm on my tippy toes leaning over. It says stretching the calf muscles, calf muscles in my legs and it hurts Okay, okay, it's hot down there. Let's get out of that little dungeon. Come on up. So I Suppose we should go ahead and get the Shroud and the fan installed next. Now again, the cool part about this is since the bottom Tabs are broken I don't have to worry about aligning them. How about that? There's always a positive to every situation. He's gotta have the wisdom to find it. I Suppose Well, they might not be wisdom. It could be ignorance. It could be I Mean you know we don't know what? we don't know. There we go. Let's do this without gouging up the front of the radiator and gas. Oh wow, we're stuck now. Oh, it's on the Belt I See, there we go? Got it? So while I'm here, well, I got my hand on the fan. try to get these threads started. This would be easier two-handed but I can't really support my weight properly. Yeah, foreign sits a little higher up and I'm sitting up on the radiator shroud I need to get two hands on this. This is hard, you know. reach in through the back to hold the weight and then I'll use my left hand here to try to rotate this to get the thread started. Yeah, let's try this. That's a little easier. Yeah, drop my blue towel, it's over there. He goes super easy. Oh my phone's ringing I Hope it's another scammer. Be right back. Yeah, no, not a scammer. We didn't get lucky on that one. Sorry. um okay now we just need to get the Shroud lined up and go ahead and bolt it in. So this thing had like these little bracket extensions I need to uh to install those so they will extend the stud so I can Bolt the thing on there never seen these before. This is kind of odd or maybe I haven't I just don't remember. That could be the situation also. Regardless, not here. Regardless, one extension installed, run that through and then I need a got a washer and then that 11 mil nut and now that that's kind of all situated, I'll go ahead and get that transmission line bolted in while we're here. Thank you! Click! Okay, this is going to be both trans lines installed and oh let me see what else. Oh yeah, the bracket. We have to do the bracket on the other side and then we'll tighten down the bolts. so so let us move over back to the passenger side and we'll get this guy bolted in, hook it into the shroud using the stud y see that and then we'll line the bolt up with this little clip right there. See it. fail, Fail twice. No worries. I'm good at failing. My order of operations was not correct. This is fine. and where's that bolt at nut? Remember the nut that I dropped I said it was gone forever. found it crisis averted. Foreign. Did I get this other side yet? I Don't remember. No, that's why I left the line loose. Look at that. now. it doesn't can't reach the bolt. Okay, back over here. let's get the nut. No more. Eight mil. we need 11. there it is. and one more on that side. There it is. All right. good to go. kinda back up some. Let's go ahead and throw that uh, that intake back together next. Yeah I Said kinda good to go because I don't know if this thing is going to survive I really don't I mean it's really hard to tell I'm I'm not very confident in it I Know that I wouldn't put my confidence in it because if you rely on your truck and the truck proves to be unreliable, then well, it's not a very good truck Is it? because you have to rely on your truck here? Where are we got the the clamp that holds it to the little bracket? Let's get that one on. so it's all nice and stable leg mass airflow connection. It's right here. Plug that guy in and what am I missing I'm missing one more connector air intake temperature sensor. So we've got these two PCV hoses over here that barely fit I don't know what that was but it was loud. It's not a eight millimeter or 5 16 so I can't use the screw gun. hence the uh the screwdriver. Plus again I'm sitting far away and my extra long shank screwdriver makes you not have to reach so hard or hard and far there we go. All right guys. Well um now what do we do? say What I know what I'm gonna do I'm gonna go to lunch and I'm gonna wait for my appointment to show up when I get back. So I think I'm Gonna Roll this thing back outside and put it on the back burner one more time. Uh, we can. uh we can Circle back this thing later on. So that being said, uh, there is going to end up being a part two I think what I'm going to do is fill this cooling system up with water. Uh, throw like some like Tide Pods in there or something, get some detergent in it and hopefully I can break up some of that nasty stuff and then clean that out. Um, but again, the real focus is going to be on saving the transmission. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to take my transmission fluid exchange machine, and I'm going to connect to those trans cooler lines over there. We're going to start the engine, get the trans pump going, and we're going to do a positive displacement fluid exchange on the transmission. We're probably gonna have to do two or three of them to get all that contaminant out of there. reason being is that it cannot be driven anymore with contaminated fluid. If those clutches have survived and it continues to drive with even just the slightest amount of coolant in there or water, then uh, it's it's gonna. It's gonna make this transmission meet a swift end if it has not already. But I'm gonna go ahead and save that one for the next video. That's going to be a rather lengthy process and I think I think that's too much to include in just one. So that being said, thank you guys for watching this video. Hope you enjoyed this video and I certainly hope to see you on the next one. Thanks again for watching and most importantly, don't forget to have yourselves! great day! See you guys later! End of nasty contaminated Ford.
In Rad Trans coolers worked OK 7 decades so fa. Replacing plastic tank ones every decade should be normal maintenance
North East the trucks rust out before any mechanical problems happen. Seriously i watch the guy working on trucks going to the junk yard looking for parts the frame is shot on a 2017 its a joke. 50k miles youve got to buy a new truck the winters are that dam bad.
Coffee
Milkshake maniacs.
Seriously 2 chooses. Salvage transmission you wont find or rebuilt you cant get, I belive that transmission was built in Japan and dealers don't want to mess with them.
I bought a screwdriver that long because my Doctor said I have to stay away from!😁
"Sketchamatic" That was me working on cars in my youth. Good to see it done right.
New hoses!!!! Why wouldn't you
Engine block and transmission could be flushed(somewhat at least) before ever having to let it run through the new radiator.I am sure ray knows this….I would definitely drain the trans at least and refill before starting the truck….Now all this is extra work that in the end may not matter much once it comes time to flush everything….refill…and flush again.
Once Glycol soaks the clutches in the unit it’s pretty well done for. If the customer wants to waste the money then do what they ask but we all know it won’t last long!!!!
Ray, Ray, he's the man, if he can't do it, no one can!
Otherwise … There's an electric conversion project waiting for somebody.
What a nice visual with breakfast… rusty pepto-bismol! Yum!
Is there Any story behind that White Corvette that was parked next to the F150??
Two things. First a hint from the old guy….. Cut a side off the box the radiator came in and put it on the engine side to protect the new rad while you are putting in stuff like the clutch fan assembly. Second…. were you teasing us to get comments that you forgot to tighten the fan or did you do it off camera? Bonus third item. Bet a pressure washer would work good if you to the plastic overflow tank outside and washed the insides using the pressure washer.
Love the video ray can't wait to see the next one 🕐🕐
The book value of that vehicle is solely based on the cost of that new radiator, and how much gasoline is in the tank. Other than that it appears to be a piece of junk.
4 Non Blondes Again!, Ray you need to get a new playliste.
Seen a couple repairs like this with the trans fluid contaminating the radiator so what's the preventive maintenance from keeping this from happening?
Needs a Good Flush out lol
That year Ford should have a drain hole on the tork converter
…why I'm so glad I do regular fluid changes.🤮
BIL's 2001 F-150 is so much less nasty than that truck. And only has 135K miles on it.
I contemplate installing an electric fan on it to make more space in engine bay.
I want to say that there are videos on yt which we viewers call clickbaits but you are the one who posts videos which are reebaits
I was faced with the similar situation a while ago with my malibu, and being a sketchy DIYer i started with the same approach as yours changed the radiator but didn’t connect the transmission to new rad, looped the transmission fluid lines together and first cleaned the cooling system and then connected big gallon to cooler to transmission line and let the transmission to cooler line open, after draining the transmission of strawberry milkshake and filling it with new cheap fluid i l let the engine running. while transmission was spitting out remaining contaminated fluid out i was putting in new fluid from the gallon connected to other line. Did about 15 liters exchange like this connected the cooler followed by a full fluid change with acdelco fluid , still running good.
I suppose you can eliminate the transcoller for the meantime connect the fluid exchange machine to both lines do your exchange then connect the transcooler and topup the fluid.
This way you might not contaminate the new teanscooler/ radiator. If there’s no other risks involved, it worked for me
At least he saved a lot of money by doing no maintenance he can now apply that money to fixing his truck.
Did I miss tightening the fan? Around 23 minutes in, putting the fan back on, the phone call interrupted as you were spinning the fan on. When you came back, you began reinstalling the shroud but didn’t ‘torque’ the fan???
Yes, I always enjoy your videos, and only 1 question …..I never saw you doing up the fan. It's so good to see you working for yourself, and also maybe one day, you might tell what happened at the other shop.
Good job jay,but have you tighten that viscous fan.
… don't forget to connect the last coolant house before you start the engine …
Pray it works out.
And you would not flush the block out before connecting the new radiator? I would want to minimise the amount of crap going thru the new radiator.
They are I think 6 or 7mm
Full of nasties. Bye bye transmission.
Ray…. WHY wouldnt u just try and pre flush the top and bottom hoses BEFORE connecting the new radiator. AT LEAST most of the chocolate wont simply transfer to the new radiator. There could be all manner of solids passing thru to the new radiator. Wow. 😳😳😳
Its looks like this guy doesn't do any maintenance the tires are crap the air filter not cleaned . Just my opinion not a mechanic !
Ya I can see but how do I communicate to you?
Good video look forward to the next Video on this pore Ford and its Ford Blood @Rainman Ray's Repairs
Bigfoot Auto Salvage, Nacogdoches Texas. Jesse can get you those transmissions all day.
NO!!! I do NOT work for them!! NO, I have ZERO to do with ANYTHING concerning his business. NO, I do NOT know anything about him or his family. We are NOT "friends", buddies, relations (family), or anything like that. I don't even live within 75 miles of Nac.
I have that body style F-150. I needed a trans and transfer case, along with other things. He found everything I needed. Including a spare transmission I wanted here on standby. All I'm doing is giving a shout out for a parts house that got me what I needed, wanted at a very good price, and very quickly (within a week). Trans and transfer for my truck for under a grand. Anyone else price might be higher, might be lower. That's just the ballpark I had to pay. Maybe this will help someone find what they need.
Y'all be safe out there!!
The Ford is Reluctant to Be Complient Its American Let the Ford Blood Flow… that sums up us Americans Reluctant to be compliant 😬🤣🤣 @Rainman Ray's Repairs
Lmfao 🤣 "radioactive Ford Blood" 🤣 @Rainman Ray's Repairs
Hey Ray, are you going to flush the cooling system too? There's a lot of contaminated fluids in the block still. You didn't mention that at the end, so was curious.
The owner must love this f150 if he wants to see if it's Save able nice to see the truck back @Rainman Ray's Repairs
I would have put the garden water hose in the radiator pipe and flushed the engine through as well, must be full of gunk! and washed the coolant reservoir.
That radiator shroud doesn't look like the right size?
Do mechanics need scaffolding to service the newer newer HD truck with a 5’ high hood ?
I hv a ram 2500 im doing an engine swap in order to save my back and to keep from hving to climb up and down i took the front tires off and lower it to the ground
It made life so much easier
Just a thought since it would be easy for u to raise and lower the truck when u need access to bottom
I've never seen a radiator full of melted coffee ice cream…
when a ford owner says, "iblewmytranny" he's not talking about a transmission.
Dude, you should have taken out the thermostat and flushed the motor before anything else. it would have been a smarter thing to do, you would not have contaminated the entire system all over again. It takes a lot to clean out off of any kind of surface let alone an enclosed container like a radiator. The other issue is that you have already decided that you couldn't fix on the cheap so you didn't really care if you did it the right way or with a little more effort than just assuming that you couldn't fix. Now before I get hate mail, I do understand that time is money, but if you are going to do the job even if the possibility of success is slim to none at least do it the right way from start to finish, because you were still get paid for your time….Flush everything as to not contaminate the new parts so you don't have to buy new one because you cut corners. Just my opinion on the issue because maybe you were tired and not thinking about the what if's.
Hey hamburger. You don't use channel locks on hex bolts or nuts. Use the proper tool for the job, like a hammer mechanic. Enjoy your work, really.
I like your intro
This video seems like déjà vu…didn't you do something similar to this on a car a few months back? I wanna say that it was a Chevy Cobalt out something like that.
I would have done the flush before putting it back out, I don't have the exchange machine, but I drop the pan, wash it all out
the drain is broken off. I got a 2002 ford expedition Eddie Bauer. minds broke off and I used a flathead to unscrew it.
I'm glad to see you brought back the intro. I missed it greatly.
Fun fact. You may be able to see the mileage on the vehicle with your scan tool. Awesome video as always ray. Thank you for all the entertainment and knowledge.
Ray, you should just call nuts, bolts and anything else a fastener 🙂
regarding part one "ok I have to say something before property damage occurs or someone gets hurt regarding your winch line. I've been driving tow trucks of all shapes and sizes for over forty years, you need to read up on how to apply cable clips. what you have there is called saddling a dead horse, no thimble and not enough cable clips "IT WILL PULL APART". Please just buy a new premanufactured winch line it will save you a lot of legal fees, and headache ."
"Reluctant to be Compliant – American" MUST be on one of your future Stickers and shirts !!!
Ray,
A cement mixing tub from home depot works great for catching all the slime goo and for catching auto fluids in general hard to miss
Of course brother will be seeing you on the next 1
hes clearly got a two inch body lift on the truck due to the drop mounts on the rad shroud hence the rad sticking up two inch than the norm
Amazon sucks
Junkyard is the we only logical solution. It's not worth your time invested.
That engine is toast!!!
I just realized what I was missing from all these garage videos. Floor drains!
Back in the 60's – 70's every garage I saw had a drain under the workstations. All the fluids was just flushed sown the drain, no matter what they were. One place had them drain into a ditch behind the buildings. It was saturated with oil, grease and all kinds of nasty for several hundred yards down stream. And this wasn't the only company that drained their crap into this ditch. Most of the water was run off from a large airfield, and during the winter they were spraying down the planes with antifreeze and the run off… Into the ditch with it. With over a hundred departures a day that was a lot of antifreeze. The good thing was the ditch never totally froze. The bad thing was it was liquid death.
For your own sake I hope you had the customer sign a form waiving liability.
Excuse me Sir, but I now expect a "'Murican Reluctant To Be Compliant" tee shirt. Lol
I wouldn't be able to fit the new radiator until I had cleaned the area it mounts in and in front of it around the condensor, as that is a nasty mess and my OCD would kick in.
the forbidden milkshake. 🤢
The cheap gaudy rims, the plastic bedazzled junk hanging from the rear view mirror and the punisher skull next to the f150 badge tell me everything i need to know about the owner
Ray, you need to wear gloves, working on cars. I have been an aircraft mechanic for 35 years, and all the oil, hydraulic fluid, oil, has absorbed into my hands. For at least the first 15 to 20 years. I always wear gloves now. I wonder how that’s going to be treating my liver when I get older?
dont know if you can save it. I thought you were getting a bigger bay door, that dog leg is hazardous, put a closer on that open door. I like seeing you use both hands
You should put 3/8 hoses in the cooler lines into a pan start engine and pour atf in until it runs clean it will get the convertor and none in the new cooler
The coolant was probably changed back in '06 or so. I don't know why manufacturers don't put in a separate trans cooler. My 2001 Caravan has one.
Kept having increased deja vu watching this. Had to go back and found the cobalt with the same problem. Saving the worst is getting to be your tm. Good luck on this one.
Lol I have done sketchyer
Why would not clean out the trans first ….so you don't run that trans oil though the cooler you should flush the trans first ???????
the clear plastic sleeve on the bottom hose connection is a adapter for different size hoses ,more of a universal fit radiator!!
My guess is that the truck likely has a body lift on it which would explain those brackets that drop the shroud down.
American: Reluctant to be Compliant. You have another quote for some merch!!
Tide pods? Too bubbly. Cascade dishwasher powder disolved in the water. Kinda and off the wall "cleaning solution."
Why you could not bypass the radiator transmission element with some pipework and then flush the rest of the transmission with your Beaut flushing device and then the radiator would be free of any contaminants would be interested in your response thank you very much from South Australia
Dawn dish soap works the be for flushing coolant systems.
Early 2000 fords had the best transmissions. Chevy and Dodge always had issue with theres except the dirtymax paired with Alison at most in the 4R70W you loose Overdrive
Before this one started, my heart skipped. This is a case of "cash up front, no guarantees, and I still don't recommend this."
Us northern people may have rust buckets but Florida has pink oil.
Trashing the radiator anyway… hammer a nail in the bottom of one of the tanks to drain it in a controlled manner instead of gushing out when pulling the hose.
they make a spike that is hollow to let air out of a bloated sheep's belly… You could drive one in and have a bit of a spout.
Is that a rifle?
More break clean. one more, one more, bath of break clean.
That air filter needs a real good cleaning as well so engine can have air.
Worn out clutches in the transmission are my biggest concern. All that debris from the friction material was a really bad sign.
It's the old radiator drain delete.
Wasted a time doing that truck you getting nowhere.
11 mm is 7/16” to us old guys
I just watched a transmission teardown where the truck had been driven into the river. I guess that's a thing in Texas. Anyway, Richard from Precision Transmission tore it down. What he found was that the clutch material had completely separated from the backing plates. He said that was what he normally finds in trannys containing water. I doubt you can fix it with flushing. Needs a teardown and replacement of all clutches
Use 1 cup of Cascade powdered dishwasher detergent. Run 30 min drain and repeat until clear water is observed. My friend has a radiator shop for 35 years and that is what he uses and I have also and it does work.
That's two entirely different vehicles where a radiator / transmission cooler was integrated together. I wonder how often this occurs and how many vehicles are saving an inch of engine compartment space by utilizing a combo radiator / cooler design. I'll definitely check for this awful design flaw whenever I buy a vehicle.
Nice job Ray! You ever consider grabbing a cement tray to put under these repairs?
Ahh the pink slime……mmmmmmmmmm
Don't want to read the rest of the posts but did you tighten the clutch fan?
I like how that pile of junk has a dollar sign hanging from the rear view, but can't afford to fix it. Lol
Ray, why didn't you flush the block before connecting the radiator hoses to the new radiator?
