I'm still diagnosing my 2018 Ford Transit connect. I bought it with 18,000 mi it has about 40,000 mi now. Lately The vehicle's motion starting to stutter as I accelerate in low speeds. Just yesterday morning started my vehicle and started to drive off and while pressing on the accelerator pedal the vehicle wouldn't move for a couple seconds and then started to stutter and then the RPMs went up for a second and then the vehicle started to move again. This seems to only be happening in low speeds I'm guessing when the gears are shifting when I'm on the freeway it doesn't do that at high speed. Hopefully the transmission just needs more fluid Thank you so much for this video. Super detailed and clear to understand. If it was 30,000 mi I would be doing a flush but since it's over 30,000 mi I'm just going to be draining and filling Don't want to damage the transmission due to disturbing sediment buildup inside Thanks again

Good vid thanks man. Debating between this Volant or AFE GT system. How did the Volant work out for you? Did you end up doing a tune with it? Any particular reason you went with the Volant?

Love the videos man. I’m new to the mobile mechanics business any advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

LoL horseshit Ford shit

Nice set up, I am a mobile diesel mechanic, and I just started using a top box from harbor freight in the bed now instead of the back seat.

Great red neckin bud, gettin it done son 👏 👍

The word is anti-sea will cause electricity to track and it’s not permissible….

Usually it's the two back cylinders that they break off in and you cannot get the drill in there

one more step in that repair. trade that lemon in before it happens again. worst pos engine ever. ford put out a service bulletin to teach ford mechanics how to change plugs. tells you everything you need to know.

Great video. I've been lucky with the 5.4's I've had in the past and now I have an F150 with the 4.2, which has never given any problems at all yet

Would have been awesome if you showed how you replaced it.

After how many miles you replaced the starter?

R.i.p. camera man 😂

Would i need to have an actual company set up or can i just do oil changes out of my van?

Look so strong😂😂😂😂😂😂

Just the video I was looking for. I have 2019 TC with 57k and it's starting to jump while driving, I've noticed the rpms jump too and there is a constant humming sound. I removed the EGR valve and cleaned it. That helped with the jumping. It does does it but not as frequently and much more subtle. The hum is still there

Bmw recommends 15k mile changes, which is NUTS

Thanks for showing us how to do this. My Nissan dealer wants $600 to do it. While it is beyond my capabilities these days, it ain't taking the motor out either. I will look around for local guys. If they have any questions, I will refer them to your video.

Thanks for the video. How often should you replace the transmission fluid?

Self taught fixing cars or schooling

How's doing it on your own? Thinking about doing it full time but idk I feel insecure I've been doing side work but wanna branch off

Open beds mean loading and unloading tool boxes but I found a low effort way that's cheap and easy. You won't be young and bulletproof forever so this trick might keep you out of surgery and pain clinics. I hung a used Tommy Gate on my F150 years ago and love it because it's a major back saver. I don't lift anything heavy due to a bad back (which got that way lifting heavy objects, discs don't last forever). They're cheap used and when not lifting or lowering heavy items like floor jacks, engines, steel etc make a nice clean work surface. Since it's a half-ton I run Hellwig leaves and Timbren urethane springs because they don't conflict with anything and handle the extra weight easily. Used liftgates often outlive multiple trucks and all the parts are simple and available including the mount plates for different truck beds. i mechanized all my heavy lifting and horizontal moving (from machine tools to structural steel and shipping containers, not just vehicle-related) and only regret not doing that 30 years ago because it makes life easy.

This is like the 1970s all over again.

I started doing Mobile Mechanic 25 years ago. I was the first one to do it in my city.

TH-cam had you as a top hit, I hope the business keeps going well for you man, love the setup, and thanks for the video! I'll check out your other vids as well!

What's a lift? is that a hoist, truck shops don't have hoist normally and you work on a creeper, you can do anything on the ground that you can do with a hoist.

What about the filter on the transmission? Is that not replaced everytime?

You really show a lot of details that will help anyone with a Transit Connect. even if they're not going to do the service themselves.. At least now, even if we use a shop we know what the score is.

good video bro. I just dumped my fluid on my 2021, toasted. thanks

How hard was this to do?

If I can give you some advice don't clean your sockets let them stay dirty that way they don't get rusted, now yes if it were indoors then I can see wipe them down after use...

How did you remove that sensor? I’m trying to figure it out. I have to remove the same sensor on my truck and I can’t figure out how to remove it.

Thank you sooooooo much for making this video. I have been looking for a video on the transit connect.

Since you got the compressor already, I would look at a cheap smoke machine. Lots of money in diags other techs can't do right, like with the refrigerant tank.

Great video, just did mine. You should have let the transmission heat up to 85C degrees before checking level, According to the manual. I used a cheap USB cable and Forscan to read trans temperature

Nice video, I would of loved if you had showed exactly how to get that bed in that position. Unfortunately it's hard to record all that when your trying to get the job done and the customer on he way

So you check with car running in park?

But now I’m making decent money on the side helping co workers, friends and family. I’m the unofficial mechanic at the restaurant im at. lol But I want to start a small mobile business. I already have all of the tools. Just because I like being prepared for any situation. How would you go about getting customers? And how many jobs a week do you need to do to be viable full time? Sorry my comments are long man. Thanks for your time. Seriously.

Hey man. I just found your channel and subscribed. I want to be where you are at as odd as that is to say lol. I work at a high end restaurant as a cook but 5 years ago I knew nothing NOTHING about cars. I somehow fixed one thing in my car and I got ADDICTED to it. Possessed really. lol over the 5 years ive studied electrical diag and fixed many many cars. But as a hobby.

Yo I'm a mobile mechanic too good shit dawg

You're literally inspiring me. im thinking about becoming a mobile mechanic and been talking about it for quite some time now and starting to take action, what is some advice you can give for someone whos thinking about starting off on theor own business? Keep in mind ive been only woking at a reputable shop for a year now and contemplating if i should dtay and gain more experience or branch out on my own thank you in advance, all the best

Imho, It depends. There are so many external and internal variables involved.

Great video and great job !! Congratulations!! New day, new teaching!! Thank!! 👍🏽

At first I thought you may have removed that loom for your diag. I would think you’d find some previous repairs in that mess. I thought you said it had no DTC in your title but actually had a MAF code ? After seeing that mess I’d be suspicious of any code this thing throws you’ve got electrons and mice running wild in that engine bay ! lol hope you charged well for your time, I considered this a self inflicted wound ! lol

A great setup.

Yeah I only charge by the job. I'm a mobile mechanic in Louisville Each one is different.

Nice set up. Best of luck sir.

Super useful, thanks.

Could be if you have alot of clients
