I have a 2018 F-150 5 liter with 30,000 miles on it. The frame and all body panels look like new with not a speck of rust anyplace. Since it lives in my garage, the sun has not oxidized any paint at all... it looks and drives like new. I live in Texas. ......

I have an inch hole on each side on the rear. Great video. I have lots of hope. First truck owner. In Pa

No sound?

I am sorry. For the most part it looks like you great work, this would be a great commercial for your business. But this is TH-cam and I live in Wisconsin and was looking for a more detailed walk through of the welding process. Did you have to cut out the entire peice you were replacing? Did you have to remove anything for safety reasons to accomplish the weld? Would you need to support both sides of the structure at the where you were doing the cut out and welding to maintain or realignment of the frame for the welding?

Where you located?

I'm no expert - and I've never welded a thing. But my guess is, they wire brushed all the old rust off of the original frame before welding the patch, and then rustproof painted the whole repair. But that's just my guess. I believe he even said they would do so in the video.

Rick, can you please recommend someone similar to you in northern Illinois or southern Wisconsin. Thanks.

That's like putting a clean pair of underwear on over the stinky pair. They still stink ! 😱

I am attempting the same thing, but I have gas lines in the tank is still in place..Is it OK for me to still weld if covering up the lines and tank?

I wish you was in Albion MI. Ford should make their frames more rust resistant....pay a fortune for their product and no sooner you get it paid for...it starts falling apart.....is this intentional ?

Hey , where you located?

Rick (or anyone with professional experience), can you tell me if it is necessary to disconnect the negative terminal when welding on the frame if you keep the welding ground clamp near the weld?

How much will it cost to fix a frame?

Hi, great channel. I've got a 99 chevy with a vertical crack. Would i use this same method, along with top and bottom supports? Or what would you reccomend exactly? Thanks

As someone with over 35 years experience working as a designer in mechanical engineering as well as being a machinist, and possessing some welding skills, I recognize a knowledgeable professional when I hear one and Rick seems to be just that.

Hey I'm Paul, I've got some serious questions to ask. I know it's the holiday weekend. I'm not computer savvy. How can we talk?

Good, there's hope for my Colorado then!

It'll be cheaper to just buy a welder and rig it up yourself. Definitely get better results as well

🤘🏻

Yea just weld a plate right over rusty metal so the new price can rust from the inside out lol..

Where your location? Are you locate in Florida?

I am looking to have to do that same patch in the exact same place. My question is: What electrical parts do you guys disconnect from your trucks (if any) before welding on them. Thanks!

Well thats an illegal repair. Go take an I-car class or get licensed period! before you kill someone!

Where r u located

The old should’ve been cut out or the old will continue to rust and cause the new plate to swell out

Moisture will get under that and corrode it from underneath.

I will happily pay you tomorrow for a cheese burger 🍔 today, Here at Rick's welding.

I wish you guys was here in Michigan.

Вот залипуха

You here in texas?

It will last as long as that truck will be around great job.

What's the progress of this build some more videos on this would be awesome and helpful I'm building something similar to this and I need advice

Good video

I might have to drive out to you guys. haha.

this is awesome work - keep it up - from Minnesota. thanks

Hi Ricks Welding I have a Jeep TJ which I’m sure your familiar with.. Do you install Safe T caps frame sections?

Cool video. Thanks for the upload. Exactly what I need done. I was wondering if this was possible and still be able to afford. For someone to do a good enough job, so that it looks factory and passes an inspection must take some time and cost a fair amount of money. How much does the repair in this video cost?

only 2thousands bucks

I have a 03 d150 with a cracked frame what does it cost for your type repair?

Not it’s ok it’s fixing

Outstanding!

Awesome job!!! Im doing the same setup on my atraight axle.

What about the back side of the weld over plate? That's just going to rust out again due to no way to coat it except from the outside.

Interesting how used used that heavy front axle and used the former spring mounts as one location. All looks heavy but the new looking leaf spring.

That’s not fixing the problem, is just covering the problem

Do you cut the old out or just weld a plate over the old rust?

How much did that cost?

Amazing build....Top notch fabrication and welding.
