But you didn’t say how to adjust it if needed?
Was i the only one screaming to at least pop off the distributor cap and mark the rotor position? Oh well. I like the color blue of yours and the 5sp. Great video. CHEERS!
There was so much going on in that video, I’m glad you got some entertainment out of it!
I used the 6v, 6amp positive and negative sides of my auto battery charger for the battery boost. Worked great! (My flashlight would not do anything before I did that.) Thanks for your idea!! 🫡
That's the pcm relay though.
Wow, you are right. I should have gone up one more! At any rate, without the pcm, the fuel pump won’t work while cranking. Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for taking time to share your video and process. I'm following your instructions because they are very clear for me because I do not have special tools, I'm also taking other advices that I read on internet mainly about set EBS into maintenance mode before of changing the brake pads. I also read on internet an advice to remove the liquid brake cap before of doing that.
Take all the advice you can find! Thanks for reminding us to watch the fluid level in the engine bay. I think I forgot to mention that.
Bullshit this doesn't work.
Sorry to see you experiencing trouble. Maybe there is something else causing your issues like a bad ignition coil?
Were you having start up issues initially? Can't get our 2004 to turn over. Changed the fuel pump and the fuel filter but still not turning over.
Question for you - were you having start up issues? Trying to figure out what's next since I'm not getting it to turn over. Changed the fuel pump and fuel filter. Still sounding like its out of gas (got at least 1/2 tank).
No, I was having hesitation issues. There are a few things that can cause your problem. Search “ranger crank no start” to narrow your results. First thing I would check is to see if the pump is humming when the key is turned on. Have somebody do it while you listen under the truck. Might have wiring issues at the pump? Please check all fuses and swap fuel pump relay if you can.
You can buy gauges for $30 on Amazon and pump for $60
Buna o-rings are fine and cost pennies
Can you pull the thermostat out of the old housing and just replace that?
I think so, but the gasket surround will be crushed. Best just to get the whole assembly if you can. I will advise AGAINST using RTV as a gasket.
How much does this service typically cost at a shop?
Great video. Looks like the noise is from the belt slip due to weak tensioner
that was absolutely useless. you didnt show anything on how the belt goes around what
Thank you it really work AWSOME 💪🏾
Year model? My 2011 Frontier 4.0 needs both reservoir hoses. Any assistance would be appreciated
My Xterra is a 2000, but the VG33e engine should be the same in all of its year ranges and models (Xterra, Frontier, Pathfinder). Not sure about the 4.0
@@ijfim ok gotcha. I believe may be similar in same areas. Try and figure out what im getting into before starting
Whats lift kit do you have ?
Just 3” shackles and 3” body lift at 6 points. The brand is unknown
Hi! You helped me with the radiator last year. My issue is ONLY IN THE COLD my power steering leaks. Is this what ill need to change. Warm weather no problem. Thank you❤
I would try this repair first since it only costs around $20 for the parts. In cold weather, rubber gets less pliable so that might be why it’s leaking. Let us know if it fixes it or not during the winter months. This channel will still be here!
@@ijfim wow. You're great replying so fast! One more question please. 🤭 The factory stereo 2001 Ford ranger XLT doesn't work, fuses checked out, I pulled stereo out and couldn't find where a fuse would be...two connections disconnected Then I saw an L shape connector not sure if it's for radio. How do I test radio to see if it works? My favorite CD is in the player 😞 Two people said they'd help me check it out...that was last year. haha I can take pics if you need them Thanks for the videos!! ❤️
Sorry if didn’t reply so fast this time! Yeah, the “L” shaped connector could be the antenna. Many radios won’t work without it. Try plugging it into the hole in the back of the radio.
@@ijfim thank you. I will look in the morning
I took a pic. Yes I had the antenna in the correct spot but there are three plugs and only two? That fit the radio. Is there a way to upload the 2 pics? One of plugs one of radio back?
Thanks dude. Mine just broke.
Corrosion broke it?
Nnaugh. I think they are just worn out. She's 23 years old and I off road a lot.
On the pads I got the wear indicator had to go on the backside. The pad without the wear indicator will not fit the back side because it's shaped so as not to fit.
how hot should the car be when checking this?
I checked with Nissan that day and they said normal operating temperature. Check with Nissan for final authority depending on your model and year.
Thank you! 😎
The visor I received was so stiff it came loose right away. So frustrating. Had to return it for another one.
You should Invest in a dead blow.
👍👍 worked for me you know everyone uses u tube for a faster replacement or good ideas..thanks nick,,
Worked like a charm. Thank you.
Love it, just replace the wheel! Another video showed removing the AC compressor and many other things. probably 8 hours in labor. You are a smart guy, thanks
Hope this video helps you fix your issue in some way. Look through all the comments…the way I ultimately fixed it was to force oil into the tensioner spring housing.
I did this on accident one time just messing around with my keys lol. It made me think I did some magic trick till I researched and learned it was just in a relearn mode. Turned out to be very useful later on when I replaced my battery and also later the alternator.
This is the BEST video for Ranger fuel pump change out.. Dropping the tank is stupid. I do like to place a couple of bath towels on the front of the box to stop any scatches
Awesome feedback and tip, thanks!
You are the best!!!!! Thank you so much!
Glad it helped you
What I did was get a turkey baster with check ball valve suck the fluid out then use a dish soap type bottle to shove the little hose in once you pull it off keeping a pan or container to catch any spillage 😅
Good tip!
Surprised, it sounded like the tensioner noise, but maybe the belt was stretched causing the tensioner to be at its max limit and bottom out the hydraulic "shock".
Thank you for the great, accurate info. Another page said the visor was $200 and suggested cutting up the roof fabric, cutting up and installing magnets....ugh, no thanks! Found it on amazon and installed it. All went just as you said. thanks
Wow! Glad I could help
i have been working on mines for about a week (evenings for a few hours) recording video washing parts. i saw a trick to keeping that gasket in place by spraying adhesive spray on it, that way it doesn't move when trying to line up the upper plenum
Looks like a good idea, that would have helped me
Thank you very much. I've been looking for a video for almost 10 months that would show me how to remove and replace this part. Here in Brazil, no one does this service and shows how to do it. The workshops that perform the service charge a lot and the specialized ones are in the city of São Paulo and I live far away in the capital of Brazil in the Federal District. I didn't find anything on TH-cam. I also have a channel where I show you how to do things yourself in your car. When I go to change I will film it and give you credit for teaching me. I think your reservoir is missing a Teflon ring on the pressure hose fitting. I still haven't found this ring for sale and mine is crushed. My car is a 1995 Mustang 5.0 V8. Once again, thank you very much for filming all the steps of the work.
I’m glad I was able to help you with this. Feel free to post the link to your video here, we can all help each other!
thanks for sharing
That high pressure line has a Teflon O-ring that goes over the threads and into a grove near the nut head. Kind of like the O-rings do on the valve. I just did this job and the old pump had one and the new one came with a replacement ring. There's also videos on here showing the Teflon O-ring if you look for them.
Hi you should have used syringe and pipe to suck out Atf oil from the bottle
Wasn’t available to me at the time, but I think I mentioned it at the beginning that it was a good idea.
My junk Nissan doesn't come with a dipstick
Do you or can you provide links too all the hose you had to replace I want to do this job but looking for the hoses is a pain!
Not really able to do that. I listed the main hose in the description. I asked my AutoZone if I could go look at the hose selection in the back several days, and that was a big help.
No gasket sealer ? .
No, there is a crush-style rubber gasket surrounding the thermostat. No problems at all since install.
Idiotttt and the video😂😂😂 he's doing it allll wronggggg please didn't follow tge direction of this crappy video at all
2 weeks ago I replaced mine Started right up. It was pretty easy. Except for the ring at 1st. I tried a regular hammer, wouldn't budge. I went 2 a sledge. Came off easier. A few days b4 i removed bed bolts, they were a bear 2 remove. Been in there 21 yrs. I kept soaking them in wd-40 for a few days waiting on pump 2 come in. They went in No problem. I tried a few times on the filter but had difficulty. Tools I bought weren't fitting properly. Local shop installed 2day for $84.00. I think I'm good 2 go..I also replaced fuse, relay & inertia switch. Plugs & wires also. Cleaned throttle body. I'm a TH-cam graduate. LOL
I just cut the two two lines in the back easy to replace probably like 3$ for a foot long heater hose
Good info!
Well it probably took me longer than most since I had a hard time getting enough leverage to get the tensioner locked into place. Pressed out the bushing without issue. Put in new pulley and then just had to deal with getting the belt on, too much crap in the way. THANK you for the replacement video, I should be good for another 80,000 miles. There was nothing wrong with either pulley, but I wanted to replace the belt before a trip. Thanks Again.
Good info
Thanks so much
there is a maintenance mode procedure from the driver seat (key on, gas pedal, e-brake to off position, key off then back on) to disable the e-brake so you don't have to take it apart. the e-brake will retract in maintenance mode. look up "2016 Ford Fusion Electronic Parking Brake Maintenance Mode Procedure"
Whoa! Thank you for the tip! Definitely easier than manually winding them down.
What could be the cause of the blockage? I justed rebuilt my front brake pistons and they no longer qork. I'm hoping this video is my solution. I know the rear ones work because I've had to use my handbrake to stop my car as I'm testing my brakes. Will try this now and report back. Fingers crossed.
You probably have tons of air in your brake system is why they don’t work after rebuilding the calipers. The blockage in this video was buildup in the vacuum check valve attached to the brake booster.
@@ijfim Believe it or not, it was a mud wasp nest that was built in the brake booster hose! I work on my cars outside under a carport and there are lots of those guys around. I pulled out the engine and the car was sitting there for about two weeks. They're harmless, except they love to build their nests in any type of hole. I actually anticipated this and plugged in all hoses with some paper towel, even this hose, but I didn't catch it in time. Thanks to your video, I blew compressed air and the nest was blown out and now my brakes work perfectly!!! You are the man!
I love to hear that these videos are helping people! Glad you are back in the road now with no stress. I know how that feels.
The tool box with the padding ,at 5:08-5:09, where did you get that from ,that's very nice !!
Somebody was throwing it away on the curb! I cut that foam out by hand to set all the tools in place. I have another video on my channel describing how to do it with a different box I have. th-cam.com/video/fXwaL2y-yjU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=8m7gxomjKfiy-u2s
