Conner Peters OMG i am 3 min into the video and skipped through the ridiculous Cummins in a Mustang talk . He hooks up the dead battery last sparking it 3 or 4 times . I was waiting for the battery to blow up in his fat face ! Then looking to see if the fan is in the rad .. Who cares ?? The cooling fan is connected to the rad shroud . This boy should really find a hew hobby !!!
If you are gonna make comments insulting the host of the show and being so critical, maybe learn how to write a legible sentence and spell it correctly.
I bought 2014 f150 Tuscany. Wrecked front end. I replaced the whole frame with one out of a junkyard. Frame was $1,000. These trucks are meant to come apart easy. I highly advise replacing the whole frame. Cant wait to see the videos on it
I love these frame vids. I shake my head when people junk their truck over a rusty rocker panel...and here is motivation like this taking on the impossible. Very inspiring. I weld my own, for getting old, lucky old trucks.
I have to say this is the first time facebook video has EVER pointed me to a good channel. Normally I just scroll through whilst having a ciggy until facebook crashes but glad I found this channel.
Laurier it isn't so much the damage , the problem is what kind of truck it is . It is not like anyone can run to the scrap yard and go Ford Raptor pickin for parts . These Raptors are 6 inches wider than a F-150 . Raptors have their own frames , bodies ... EVERYTHING on that truck is different than that of a everyday F-150 . I purchased a 2004 years ago that was salvage . When i went to purchase parts i dam near shit my drawers . 95% of Raptor parts are double if not triple in price
Your better off buying a whole frame and going from there 16 years in the auto body biz not worth playing with it if she's bent that bad and the welds are cracked like that expertly catalog it !
Came to say exactly this. That frame is bent, tweaked, twisted, borked, cracked, folded, spindled, and mutilated. Time for a new one, Westen! I know it's probably the most expensive option, but it's also the safest as far as I know.
anthony Rocha I agree to a certain extent as far as a kink because as i am sure you know one kink leads to another . On a 2017 F-150 I straightened a frame a year ago that the front horns were pulled in just over 8 inches both sides after meeting a poll . The front turned out laser straight . Released most of the rivets on the engine cross member and replaced the front horn cross member . The whole repair consisted of a solid 8 hour day that was with a creative fix replacing the rivets . It was cheaper / stronger and less time than replacing the entire frame . The problem i find with these trucks is the aluminum bodies . Military grade my ass lol . Both front body mounts ripped apart and the rears distorted . The next salvage F-150 i buy or repair i will definitely look closer at the aluminum body than the frame . Welding on the frame is a piece of cake but the aluminum is a pain . The aluminum these trucks and as you know must aluminum hoods (DODGE) have so much impurities it is tricky and time consuming to weld .
@@zabia92 I had three Silverado ads and one truck bed cover ad. They only Chevy/GM things I have looked at in a very long time is Gale Banks "Killing a Duramax" series.
Brilliant video, loads of quality comedy quotes like "we won't know until we fire it up and see if it leaks". Westen Champlin the World Quote Champion!
Might be easier to pull the bed, and check/measure for square. I doubt it will be good. Beautiful truck. Makes me sick to see so much damage. The frame is the weakest part of the truck. That's seems kinda back-ass-wards, isn't it?
The engine knock gag priceless . . I have to train the rookies at my job. I work on natural and LP gas equipment. I get them with the hissing noise I make as a gas leak . When they run away immediately I know they won’t last long at all 🤤
Smacked the bumper of my cousins dump truck with a wrench to make a knock sound on the first startup after we rebuilt the DT466😂. That reaction is priceless
477K. Garrett was interacting a lot, love it. The knocking on the engine was too funny. Poor Westen had no idea. Looks like a lot of work on this project, can't wait to see the finish. Love ya lots!!
Always put your cables on the dead battery first. If the dead battery happens to explode when you connect the live battery, you'll be away from it. Great channel, great content.
I completely agree with you but its easier to pull it back out straight as possible then cut it off and add a new piece if he was to buy an entire frame it'll take months before hes finished with it
@@DatBoiOrly It'd be easier to swap parts over to another frame.. to replace that section would require removing a lot of the parts like engine, front suspension, cab etc. Then you still have to try and repair it. A frame bent that bad likely the damage would transfer further back and throughout the frame.
hpkntnw where do you get a frame ??? Raptors are 6 inches wider than a regular F-150 and there isn't an over abundance of them in scrap yards to pick from !
Just a hint, I'd hook the positive jumper cable up first and that will reduce the spark and touching the jumper cables together when she's hooked up to the other pick up is a no no. Modern ECUs really don't like that.
I advise a complete frame replacement/ I hit a tree with my 91 GMC once, body shop said the frame was accordioned all the way back, I'll bet yours is too.
CptBlackbeardlives where do you get a frame except big $$$ at the dealer ??? Raptors are 6 inches wider than a regular F-150 and there isn't an over abundance of them in scrap yards to pick from that also haven't been hit !
@@CptBlackbeardlives : Sorry BlackBeard but i did see the video that is why i commented . I don't work at Mcdonalds Sir . Been doing this for 37 years in Ontario Canada where where our motor vehicle governing body is much stricter than that of any state in the USA . In-fact that truck has a Bio-Hazard title on it and would NEVER see the road here again no matter what ! Wait and see if it is actually a Raptor frame . Funny the scrap yard says waiting 6 months then 2 months and then all of a sudden there is a frame . Does not look like a Raptor frame to me . That frame looks like a F-150 frame . These trucks are unique in every way and the Raptor frame is caught between a F-150 and a F-250 . Just too bad this truck is an Eco-Boost though . Wait till he has to repair the floor pockets where the body mounts are lol . Been down this road with these aluminum floors !

To align up 2 frame sections and graft them together its quite easy, Using a square and a tape measure you find holes common yo both frames ,punched in both frames and use them as reference points for the splice,. using precise measuring you butt the top and botthon of the 2 frames together but on the side rails you overlap both frames and use the pre punched holes to align the 2 into perfect alignment, using bolts thru those holes to krrp the alignment. Then for me , i used a stick welder and some 6013 rod for the welds, and you can additionally plate the butt welded area after if you wish. building up the truck from there.

Replacing the frame would be the safest and proper thing to do as it’s a raptor and it’s going to be under load.

Just a tip you should title your videos better like putting raptor: part 1 2 3 4 it so its easier to find part videos
The _only_ thing funnier than Westin’s jokes & one-liners 🃏 is the CHEVY TRUCK ads that were littered in by TH-cam on this video!😂🤯🤣

Raptor engine in the mustang. And Cummins in the raptor. Just to piss off the internet.
That's an amazing idea!
Hell yea!!
That would make a LOT more sense.
He just said in the video he isn't doing that
Collin Klitz He might if enough people get behind it.
