- We need to do some fixing on my 1995 F250 Powerstroke. She won't start, won't blow, and she's slowly falling apart. But we can fix it!

See my post about the relay: th-cam.com/users/postUgywkR5wJ7z8LyXEBrR4AaABCQ
i guess I'm kinda off topic but do anyone know of a good site to watch newly released movies online ?
@Daxton Jace Thanks, I signed up and it seems to work =) Appreciate it!!
@Casey Myles happy to help :)
Hey dude if your 99.99999999999999999999999999 -40 years later- 999999956% sure Just yank and change
I totally disagree. I would rather you talk and explain what is going on.
Just be Wes ,keep talking ,this is how I learn
I too want to hear Wes talk
I sub to about 100 channels. Wes is in the top three for intelligent conversation. Do not listen to the trolls. Please.
Yep, how else would we get the humour too!
Some people watch videos at increased speed when they feel they're presented too slow, those guys who don't like talkin' can try out the mute button imo.
Please, Wes keep talking. I really like your comments and intelligent conversation
No keep talking. If you don’t tell us we will never know if Timmy has fallen in the well?
Keep talking man it makes it more entertaining hearing the wighty thoughts that come out of you in the middle of your work
Wes, please keep up the commentary. This is what makes your channel great, the humor and your talent as a teacher. I like your wildlife footage too, keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do!
@@WatchWesWork if they dont want talking there is a volume level or another channel.
"prison shank" "is Timmy in a well?" you are on a roll. Love it!
Don’t talk during a video? Nah forget that, your hilarious one liners is what I like. Like the prison shank comment was funny 😄
Heh. Glad someone caught that!
@@WatchWesWork I loved the little comments and the prison shank got a chuckle out of me too.
Lol!! I also caught the DEEZ NUTS, comment!! 🤪🤩
For some reason his "What is it pup, is Timmy in a well?" comment cracked me up! Wes always has some dry, sarcastic humor I tend to like.
johnnykache1000 yeah that line made me laugh too. I do enjoy his humor.
You forgot to mention the most important feature of the F250... it's paid for.
True.
Damn right only takes a second to sign the finance agreement can take a lifetime to get out, Paid Off is a wonderful peace of mind.
It took me a long time to figure out the value of "paid for" but I finally got it. So I sold my leased car and bought an older one that I could pay cash for then every month I saved the amount I was previously paying monthly. Before long I had enough to buy a nice car for cash.
Dick Day, you are a wise mind
@@fillg And it's not just vehicles.
The BEST part is you talking. You say stuff that kills me and I love hearing your knowledge explained.
I'm with the masses Wes; keep on talking! And thank you!
“We shorted it with our prison shank” I love it
Keep up the commentary Wes, like your sense of humour.
Also must say: thank you for the time and effort that shows on these videos. One of the better, no-nonsense presenters on youtube.
This truck is like an artifact to a simpler time of the 'bare bones, no nonsense truck', in regard to the plainness, the spartan interior, no headliner, etc. Nowadays all trucks are luxury cars that drive like cars and nearly all of them are 4-door crew cabs.
Keep talking. You’re like the cool, laid back shop teacher
don't worry about the negative people............i enjoy watching wes work
If you are noticing that your heater is only putting out air in the defrost mode it is because the white vacuum line near the passenger side hood hinge on your truck is disintegrated.
Replace that rotted line with regular rubber vacuum hose. Cut it back into the loom so you can connect to an area of white line that has been shielded from UV exposure. The other side of the line goes to the actuator on top of the heater box.
Great videos and I appreciate the fact that you film the humility you experience instead of hiding it like in the DT466E oil pickup tube bolts that were "missing".
Keep it up!
Also noted that you have the old tailgate in your scrap bin. Those aluminum trim panels on the tailgates are worth a few bucks to others if you toss it up on craigslist.
I am a non-mechanic and I enjoy your dialogue. I learn a lot even if I am not interested in actually working on vehicles. Keep up your great channel.
Your truck is like most vehicles owned by mechanics, the last one that gets proper attention. The way you talk while working on stuff is much like I do when I'm working with my kids. The best way for others to learn is to explain what you are doing and why you do it a certain way. Just subscribed because your videos make sense to me and I might just learn something along the way. Keep up the great work.
mechanics always have shitty car/trucks, theyre super minty though
Totally agree. In my 25 years of turning wrenches, being tied down in someone else's shop all day, I never wanted to touch my own shit. Just go home, eat some dinner and relax. I am sad to say I neglected a lot of stuff on my vehicles because I burned myself out with everyone else's junk all day. Lol so true
From the 16th century: "Shoemaker's son always goes barefoot"
The wheels haven't fallen off yet so keep on driving it.
I don’t think you talk too much. It’s nice to know what you’re thinking as you go about your repairs.
Don't ever change your videos. The WD-40 spray bottle labelled 'Actually PB' made my day.
Dude, talk, it's why I watch. Those silent videos are strange. IMO
I enjoy the commentary! Keep talking!
keep doing you Wes, we watch you because we like what you do, not because we want you to change
When the bracket dropped out of the press and tipped onto the floor, my thoughts were simple. Been there - done that. Keep up the good work Wes
talk too much? Eff that! I don't really work on most of what you show, I am an engineer and do little actual work, yet I watch every episode and always learn something. Thanks!
The best thing is it's paid for, drive it till the wheels fall off!!
those commenters that don't want your audio can always turn down the volume or unplug the headphones, your videos are refreshing
You know the reason I watch these videos is to learn, and if people think you talk to much there is a volume button they can utilize.
Love the videos Wes! We can all learn a lot by watching because you care enough to explain what and why. Keep up the great work. 🍻
Thanks! Will do!
Talking while you work is ok. Perfectly normal...even when you are by yourself...not crazy!
About your truck, must've the same one at home!!!
17:07 that resistor-looking part is a thermal fuse. They go open over a certain temperature. I have replaced them in waffle makers and such. They're 10 for $1 on eBay or AliExpress from chinese sellers :)
There usually is a temperature {in degrees C} printed on the fuse. Stay as close to that value as going higher could cause a fire!
They even bury those in transformers. Replaced one in my early 80's hifi amplifier two weeks ago.
Replaced many of these in all kinds of electrical stuff. Its purpose is to prevent overheating of the resistor unit when the motor is blocked.
That shackle or whatever falling without resistance the second you released the press and your sigh; is a core memory for me. Good shit.
I can’t imagine why anyone doesn’t want to hear your explanations. Even an experienced mechanic
"The people" in the comments should stop talking !
"Just show the work don't talk"
BS - keep talking, it's your insight and reasoning that makes it interesting
It’s nice to be able to have an outside supplier for parts conveniently “close by”. When I had an equipment service business, they required me to warehouse $10k of their parts in-house for each manufacturer supplier. It was very ery expensive and they took up a lot of space in my shop.
I have a few criteria when choosing a TH-camr. Conversation ability is high on that list. Add your dry sense of humor and giving back to the idiots who complain and I really enjoy the channel. Plus living most of my life in the Deep South looking at the amount of rust y’all have to put up with makes for great entertainment. Keep it up.
I like the Commentary!... Trolls have short lives anyways ..
Thanks also for giving us a glimpse at that nesting Robin and her three blue eggs; haven't seen that in a long time.
Some people will never be happy. Keep talking. That’s what makes the videos interesting. It puts a little bit of who you are in them.
And THAT fine,high quality bench seat is the result of LOTS OF WORK
We refer to your SOS as "the hospital"... parts go there that are sick but if they sit there long enough then they become healthy and perfectly fine to reinstall.
Wes I personally like watching you fix stuff regardless of what it is. I learn things about mechanic work. You are the Mustie of diesel IMHO.
Well thanks!
I like the talking format versus the "shut up and just work" suggestion.
I personally prefer to hear you talk. Keeps me AWAKE! Kidding, you make very interesting and informative videos. Thanks, Wes.
10:30 I want you to talk, I want to learn. The commentary makes this what it is. If you don't talk you could just watch anyone on mute for that matter
10:15 - Some people watch videos at higher speed cause' they feel they're too slow. Those guys complaining about commentary can try out the mute button.
I'm always annoyed by people who have better penmanship than me, but i respect it, very nice!
Your talking and discussing/explaining what you are doing is great. So refreshing that you are not continually griping and complaining
Your discussion adds information, I appreciate it.
Hi Wes your subtle sense of humour constant dialogue and expertise are great keep it up young man. You your wife and son what a great team....never forget you have dedicated fans all over the world.
this guy is a great mechanic and puts out fantastic content
Talking through you work makes your work understandable and I enjoy it.
Wes, I greatly enjoy all of your videos and have learned a great deal of indispensable information from them. Please keep it up just the way they are. Many thanks and take care!
Thanks, will do!
Special thanks to your early-morning assistant :)
Keep talking.
There's only one (okay, two) guys on YT that really pull off the no talking bit, and the stuff they do is very... contemplative. Mr. Chickadee, and Primitive Technology.
Love your channel Wes.
Talk all you want Wes as it makes it easier for the majority of us to listen and personally I enjoy the explanations.
Thank you I enjoy your videos.
Nick Jarman Hey Wes, I enjoy your narrations, I'm a recently retired mechanic- industrial and automotive. A lot of younger guys that are interested in learning and fixing their own stuff appreciate that someone can explain why and how to troubleshoot equitment and problems. Keep on keeping on !!
I'm one of those younger guys working on a 92 f150 I just bought. ;D Between. TH-cam, forums and the Heinz manual I haven't come across something I couldn't do myself.
@@alexrollini Just picked up a 7.3 like Wes, a bit newer. All the knowledge I have is from watching these videos when they came out. Now I'm able to come back, look at them in more detail learning everything I can about this motor. Helping a lot on diag. :>
2:00 never would have thought you would have such fancy hand writing for a guy who puts battery's on the concrete.
I write like a doctor.
I for one still follow this rule about batteries but I’ve accidentally left a new battery on garage floor for like a week. it worked fine
Hi from South Africa. Please carry on with commenting. Silent movies went out of fashion 100 years ago! :-) The goody that went open in the fan resistor is a temperature fuse. Used in kettles, irons, tumble driers, cookers, hair driers etc. They cost about $0.50 and the temperature it fuses at is usually printed on the side. You can just jump it. They are usually placed by manufacturers to force failure and then replacement. We are not supposed to keep stuff working remember! Throw away society! Thanks for the great videos.
Wes, please don't listen to the TROLLS who are jealous because you've forgotten more than they'll ever know! Keep doing you. We true fans watch and learn by the way you talk and explain what you're doing. Keep doing a great job.
Thank you, I will try!
For those who don't know exactly what you are doing, your narration is most helpful. I don't not like doing car repair, but enjoy watch and understanding what a professional is doing. It is also a great way to learn enough about the repair to help prevent those mechanics whom are not professionals from taking advantage of those of us who are not professional mechanics. Thank you for your narrations.
" hey pup is Timmy in the well " LMAO been saying that for years, people look at me like I'm from Mars, keep talking and ignore the thumbs down, if they ever did anything and make a video of it they might not be so quick to hit the thumbs down, the floor and the seat are the only thing that would make me want a newer truck, and the lack of a/c too, great job keeping up with the maintenance
Hey, wes. I know where there is a 7.3 IDI with a real nice body that has a bad engine that runs but maybe a bent rod. I suspect it has a bad injector that caused a hydro lock. 1991 model right along Interstate 70.
One thousand dollars buys it. I could not believe how solid it is.
Man you keep talking it's educational to most of us and I'm 62-year-old
We once had a pair of doves build a nest right in the middle of the porch swing. It gave us a unique view to share with our grandchildren.
I love when u talk us through it I learn a lot more I love that truck to
My two cents is that you keep the OBS. You like it enough to keep fixing small things here and there, and there’s nothing terminally wrong with it. Seems to suit your needs while being a little rough around the edges, but I think that’s the epitome of a “good ole work truck”
Protection from being stolen..keep it rough.
I don't think you talk too much. I love to hear anecdotes, fun facts or tips and tricks. I learn while watching your videos ! Kudo to you !
Those people saying "Not to talk" probably like Charlie Chaplin movies...I for one, really enjoy your content and find it not only entertaining but also educational... keep up the v good work!!
The current format works fine Wes! Matt C.
Keep the talking Wes, as we are learning a lot.
Project Restore it .
Love the sound of a big diesel .
I killed my V6 tdi Touareg a few weeks ago .
Insurance said no .
So now I have an 05 jeep kj liberty . 86000 miles on it .
No rust . It’s so basic compared to the Vw .
Old trucks like that ford deserve to live on .
Great video Wes . Love the way you work .
I wouldn't watch without your commentary, I don't know much beyond the basics, so knowing what is going on and the learning experience which makes it interesting. For what it's worth, I think you also pitch it at the right level, neither dumbing down nor overcomplicating. Please continue doing the exact same thing. It's good that you ask though.
Thank you!
I like what you have to say. It's how I learn. Between you, mustie and Andrew camarata, I am a better human at fixing, repair and saving. Many thanks for your time and sometimes a laugh.
Thanks 👍
Yep maybe don't take to many tips off Andrew about fitting radios and repairing heater controls lol.
@@shoots2001 anything wrong with fitting the radio using a chainsaw? :p
Sounds a bit like my '68 GMC! I love videos like this. Even if it's not something I'll likely work on in the future, I've always found it entertaining watching and learning how things are repaired. Knowledge is power! Keep up the great work, and thanks!
Thermostatic fuse on the blower motor resistor module, super cheap on eBay or from any of the other usual suspects like digikey or mouser.
Also keep up the commentary on the video! Love it, it’s what makes the channel one of my favorites.
Wes, for those who don’t want any talking in the videos they can re-discover their volume control! I personally enjoy your commentary and teaching!
Oh man! watching under there on the spring hanger was painful! I can sure identify with "slowly falling apart" too! Back in the 50's in high school I worked summers in the GMC dealership and they saved the rusty, dirty school buses for me just they could laugh at my struggles...it was wonderful!! Love your videos, please stay safe and keep them coming.
If you plan to keep it, consider cleaning the underside with a hot water pressure washer, then after it dries, spraying the whole thing with creeping anti rust fluid/vax. It works even if the car is old, and has started to rust. Raising the car at an angle, then drilling holes at strategic locations, and spaying it up the holes, so it creeps along the beams is also beneficial. Heck even old motor oil, and some solvent works if you are on a budget, but it is pretty messy. I used a product called Dinitrol ML, under my car, it worked great.
Just want to add that outside of those defects she is cherry. I like your talking. You are clear and humerous
You talking and explaining what you do, makes the videos much more enjoyable in my opinion. It's easier to enjoy the content and learn from the creator with explanations and demonstrations. Helps the viewer feel involved I think. You have a fantastic way of expressing methods and some of the science behind stuff. After binge watching 90% of your videos so far, I am very happy I found this channel. Keep on keepin' on sir :)
That little "resistor" on the resistor pack is actually a non resetting thermal fuse.
Yup, and nothing a piece of wire soldered across can't fix lol.
I learn when you talk, love your videos.
I appreciate that!
“Prison Shank” 😂🤣😂🤣
your use of many idioms is one of many things I love about your channel.
talking in videos are good it helps me learn what's going on and how to fix it great vids keep it up
Keep talking Wes, your explanations of how systems work is priceless :) Great to see someone competent at work :)
Thanks, will do!
Keep the banter going.
I talk to myself out loud all the time while I'm doing something, I just dont have a TH-cam channel, or a camera.
We take care of our nesting birds too. Mostly robins and swallows. The amount of bugs they eat is amazing.
Don’t listen to them. I like your videos with the sarcastic talking. Haha. Keep up the great videos
Thanks, will do!
I couldn't make it without your dry humor dude, keep talking.
I like your sense of humour. Part of why I watch. That wouldn't come across if you were silent
VOLUME CONTROL IS THE ANSWER.
I LIKE COMMUNICATION to explain how and why.
Just no singing😄
Great videos.
As always be good be happy and be safe and looking forward to the next one.
Love watching Wes work, talk Wes talk. Be safe
As said by others- I learn by listening to your explanations, keep talkin'
Wes “ make a video of my own broken junk and wait for the thumbs down to start rolling in” and not even a single dislike on the video 👍🇺🇸 content might be a little different than most car channels on here but i learn a different side of cars on this channel too. Your content is stellar
The talking is great, and one of the prime reasons I watch.
Your videos are fine........that's why I watch them!
Hey Wes, great video as always! I like your commentary. It's interesting and I prefer people explain what their doing and why and the gaffs and one liners are great! I also have to give you credit on only doing the spring hanger bracket! I'm in the salt belt too and I just get mad and torch the rivits off the frame and melt the rubber bushings out of the spring eye and replace all. Take care bud, eagerly awaiting the next video!
Keep talking and ignore the complainers. I learn a lot from you diatribe, especially your reasoning and diagonistic thought process to the variety of mech problems, even if I don't always agree:-) Don't change. There's always people that have to complain about something:-)
PS: Love the pup.
