    • @MH-wo4be
      @MH-wo4be 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I watched that video. The problem is aftermarket scan tools, even snap-on give false data quite often. It takes a good tech to know when the readings are impossible and to not go down the wrong rabbit hole. If you watched the whole video that particular MAF is a frequency based MAF which is not normal for a FORD product. The snap-on software isn't set up for Frequency MAFs on a FORD product.

    Thank you for passing along your knowledge. I enjoy your content. A couple of thoughts...I would spray both sides of the spare, especially, the bead to prevent corrosion and leaks. Also, I wouldn't get hung up on using the black products. These lanolin products get dirty and turn dark on their own. When I work on it, I don't want that black dye getting all over me. I am sure other mechanics would think the same thing.

    Hey, thanks for the update, and not leaving us hanging. Their current metal protection process by the manufacturer obviously falls short, but it gets the vehicles through the warranty. It would be worth it to pay extra to have a superior coating applied during the build for complete coverage and longer lasting. But it's all about costs and pre-determined obsolencence. Got to sell those parts and that labor. Thanks for the video.

    On my 07 f150 I coated everything with e40 and let it sit a couple hours before pressure washing it off with hot water and then hot soap, and then hot water again, then the next day when it was completely dry I went under with a wire wheel on the end of my drill and got all the main areas and spots of rust left, then pressure washed with hot soap followed by hot water at the carwash, once it was dry I hit the underneath the while truck with rustoleum rust reformer and seal flat black, and then after it dried some I went over the top of that with rustoleum rust stop gloss enamel spray paint, both cans are only 5 bucks each and it's been 2 years now with no issues, but before each winter I go back underneath and touch it up in areas with the rustoleum stop rust gloss black enamel just to keep up on it, haven't had any problems and the maintenance on the following year was way less work then the initial prep and spray the first time. Plus it's way cheaper then por15 and that big air compressor in the video 😂 thanks so much for the videos! It's my first truck and I'm not a mechanic at all but I've watched your videos and been able to fix any problems I've had. Fixed, MAS, Throttle body, IAC, VCT solenoid before it needed it because I wasnt doing all that timing chain stuff lol thank you sir! You're saving a f150 in Washington state and you dont even know it 👍

      I have a 2013 F150 with 290,xxx miles.
      I've had the truck since new, 4 miles on the odometer. I've lived in upstate NY, Denver, Massachusetts and New Hampshire since purchasing the truck.
      Its been sprayed with chainsaw bar & chain oil 4 or 5 times.
      Looks much better than fluid film or Woolwax.
      Bar & chain oil holds up way better, less washout in nearly every area he had trouble. It seeps and creeps and self-heals very well.
      Costs about $12-15 per gallon versus $50+ and sprays very well out of a fluid film gun.
      The dust cakes onto the oil and actually looks like rhino lining over time.
      Try it out sometime

    Hi Dear @FordTechMakuloco
    I’ll be in need to you’re assistance Please !
    maybe its Sound Stupid but honestly the dealer her says replace Trans without checking any thing .
    in this country unfortunately No one has any idea how to fix FORD or any American Vehicles . Thant’s why I need your Assistance Please .
    ill Brief :
    I bought used 2009 Explorer 4X4 month Ago .
    The only issue was ( Harsh engagement from R to D ) No other issues at all - All Gears Shifting is OK .
    I went to dealer ( Transmission Mount Checked ok ) ( Flued was a bit bad but Not Burnt )
    Engine Thermostat For Some Reason Was Removed .
    - “ Trans” Oil + Filter Changed . ( But R to D Still Harsh Engagement with slight Delay )
    1 month driving every thing OK ! ( 100 mile daily Driving - 30 days )
    - I re-installed Thermostat ( 2 days back ) - went for log drive around 100 miles . Engine Temp. was 89-92 degree
    95 miles every thing ok . Then :
    - Suddenly 5th Gear RPM went UP , 5th Gear Gone
    - 4th Gear High RPM .. 1 minute then Gone
    - 3rd Gear .. 1 minute Then Gone
    - 2ng Gear Stayed for 4 min at high RPM then Gone
    - 1st gear is ok for 2 min then Gone .
    - Turned Off the Vehicle Turned it on to cool down after 2 min 1st gear Engaged with delay to 2nd gear with delay … SLIP SLIP . no more gears .
    I keep driving 1st and 2nd gears while trying to cool down the transmission every 3 minutes . ( 5 miles Total )
    Reached Home , Parked and shut it off .
    Next Day Turn it on ( harsh Torque converter sound ) R and D are engaging for 20 second then gone .
    I asked a Computer Guy to come and Check .
    I have attached the Errors for you to see .
    *P1705:00* : ODDTCs : TR(Transmission range) sensor out of read codes range
    *P0741:FF* : CMDTCs : TCC(Torque Converter Clutch Control Solenoid) System Performance. Torque converted slip is greater than expected .
    *P1783:FF* : CMDTCs : Transmission OverTemperature Condition .
    Thank You in Advance .
    i have emailed you the same .

    Glad to see it's holding up - I know I asked last year when the original application was done, but are you considering offering this as a service? Obviously it's not as comprehensive as going to a place like Krown would be, but we know just what Chicago does to brake lines, subframes and the like. I just don't see an effective way I could get under a car like the Mustang well enough at home.

  • @kevinvoyer5053

    Ok looks decent for just one year though? The last and final time I ever “rust proofed” a car/truck I bought new was in 1978, with a new Scout II TERRA truck. I had Ziebart applied the day I picked it up. Fast forward just 5 years and rust through both rockers, rear wheel wells, that Ziebart refused to honor their warranty, because they found beach sand under the truck! Within two more years the tailgate was falling off and forget about passing inspection! Holes in the floor, and ever body panel! Even the windshield frame! I ended up selling it to a friend with only 72,000 trouble free miles. He removed the body, then placed a 1969 LeMans Safari Wagon body over it! That is still running to this day!

    I’m actually impressed what fluid film and surface shield can do and I’m even impressed with this wool wax. I used to spend 600 or more and go yearly for touch ups. I spent 150 on a kit and do mine twice a year. The 2nd time I just give it a quick once over. My truck has held up really good and still looks factory after 3 years. I’m even doing other people vehicle making some side money I get better better at it each year. Most people don’t even think about the inside of the frame. You can even use this stuff to clean chrome just gotta do thin layer wipe of real good. Helps preserve chrome and other metal surfaces.

    Didn't need to watch this because I've used it and it's great. Had my shop spray all the body cavities as well, all the underside including the exhaust, all around in the engine bay. Doesn't burn, stays "fluid", creeps into cracks and crevices, and sticks like heck. Every two years give the underside a recoat and that's it. All for $50 a gallon which will do all but the largest cars

  • @Micscience
    @Micscience 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I am here because I purchased 2 55 gallon barrels for composting and these barrels were used to contain woolwax. So I decided to check it out. The little bits left over in the barrels have a milky color to it.
    It seems to work really good but the only down side I see is it makes everything dirty. Imagine 10 years of applying woolwax once a year.
    So my question is how is it to work on a car that gets sprayed with woolwax?
    I would assume you must get really dirty from my experience cleaning out these barrels it is a pia to remove. You have use a solvent and a lot of it.
    In my opinion if you are going to service your rust once a year might as well use something that will dry so you have to deal with all that dirtyness when you work on the vehicle.
    If anyone has a counter to what I am saying please share.
