Catastrophic engine problems on a modern Ford, what a surprise 😂
Crazy too think there was time when ford had the most reliable engines ever made
@@patrickodowd8883 the old banana d.i 2.5 went foreverrr
@@yorkshireman7025 thats what i was thinking mate ive a had a fair few of them never a problem
@patrickodowd8883 Their zetec engines from early 2000s were great.
Give the pinto some love too!
100 years of making engines and cars and they can only make them to last 90,000 miles, Good job Ford!
Remove all the modern rubbish like catalytic converter, egr and egr cooler then they will run 500k miles.
The joke at the end … I nearly fell off my chair, the missus thought I had lost the plot 😂😂😂
Important thing about engines and comedy
Timing 😂
Engine Hoists: A device used by mechanics all over the world to test the tensile strength of anything they forgot to disconnect :)
I worked on this series of Rangers when they were new.
They were very reliable apart from failed injectors, leaky rear mains, blown turbos, failed intercoolers, failed dpfs, rear axles noisy, oil consumption, ABS module failure, unannounced catastrophic engine failures, Other than that a great truck all round.😂
This also is my experience.
Maybe not a great truck after the long list you put here
@@sicelolongo2388 tumbleweed lol
Good to look at and sit in , but don’t drive ‘‘em too far…😂
Diagnosis in seconds, plan in minutes, and carried out to perfection in an hour!! Top work and great video content guys 👍🤜🤛
That engine hoist deserves a bit of love... a nice clean and a nice coat of paint... it looks sad at the moment!
That joke rob just gold can we have one after every video this channel is pure gold 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
These are really popular here in Australia. They are famous for being unreliable too
SERVES YOU RIGHT FOR BUYING FORD
Chris the magpie, half listening to Rob while looking for loose change 😂😂
The above comment reminded me of Music Magpie.
Guys why don’t you have some branded vehicle covers made for stuff you don’t want us to see in the background when filming. You could also use them to do “big reveals” or something like that.
Obviously you can also sell them as well. Just a thought.
Funny how that engine in a volvo will do eleventy squillion miles, but put it in a ford and.......Boom! 😂
That ain't a Volvo engine.
I used to drive a tow truck in NZ picked up hundreds of these crappy things the boss loved them they kept him in business lol
3.2 ranger POS. Super hard to work on. EGR cooler replacement institute barstard of job. Oil pump chain breaker . Pig all round. Every time I see one on the road I cringe for the owner. Thanks for sharing. Following from Sydney Australia.
"I'm not coming out at the mo as I'm having a little cry"😂😂
That's shocking for that mileage!
I just love seeing Chris’s personality coming through he’s much more relaxed on camera now and really interacts with us viewers, another great post guys looking forward to seeing you work on a truck again 👍
8:33 love Chris's face when he says 'That's a big 'ole in that' 😄
A bad advert for Ford. 100k looks like a well maintained engine and it's scrap? Pityful.
I found your channel a few months back now, so glad I did. Couple of top blokes doing quality work being open & honest about the ups & downs, ultimately sharing great content. Thank you.
Smaller ford engines are total garbage. This catastrophic damage at 100K miles - that’s just the break in period for a Toyota. Outstanding content!
Not the latest ones. They’re a bag of trouble too.
@@hughmarcus1 - in my defense, my “newest” car is 11 years old.
It's not small really 3,2
@@leedstownthe OP is in America and Ford has the 6.7 litre Powerstroke there.
@@RWL2012 I guessed he was from America
That 3.2 engine has a plastic variable vane oil pump that’s prone to self destructing… There’s a modified pump kit available online now..
Get it back to Ford for a free engine replacement! This is a known catastrophic failure that's been happening to the 3.2 engine since they were new.
Its worrying that it happened to a well maintained car. Whats to say the next engine wont do the same. Great content guys.
Great joke at the End Rob .Even had Chris sounding puzzled
Not that it matters because it is knackered, but the engine is not made by or based on Volvo. It's a PUMA duratorq variant and really based on a Ford native design.
Very common here in Australia as well. Known as Danger Ranger.
Just remember not to leave it to drain when changing your oil. Dump the oil, refit the drain plug, and refill.
You've got about 15 minutes to refill it with oil otherwise the oil pump loses prime.
Oh dear god, I can't believe you came out with that at the end - absolutely seamless! I perked my ears up to hear the rest of the story, as I own a dog myself..... didn't think I would be snorting tea out of my nose two seconds later with that bloody punchline!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Catastrophic engine fail is perfectly usual on a Ranger.
After one cup of coffee, that urned from an engine into the biggest doorstop I've ever seen!! I feel for the guy, that's a beautful, well maintained truck, it seems nowadays that modern engines are a lottery with Ecobooms, wet belts, timing chains stretching etc.
Built to a budget set by bean counters. Engineers don’t get a look in these days. The manufacturers want us to scrap cars and buy another - sad fact of life! 😡
I've just repaired one exactly the same, same engine, egr cooler failed and destroyed the entire engine, the 3.2 isn't a good engine and very expensive to replace, good luck guys👍
Everyone's happy until auntie con and uncle rod comes along knocking 😅
Rob & Chris, I nearly choked when you told that joke at the end!!!! OMG RLMAO
It may sound creepy but I watch and enjoy every one of the videos. it is the closest I get to the real world. Thank you both of you :)
Never seen an Engine with a double porthole like that.great Video Lads.
Australian mechanic here who work on a lot of these. Known issues with these engines. Call main dealer, as you’ll be surprised how affordable a complete new engine is.
If you go with a used engine, consider putting in upgraded oil pump.
Also very important procedure for changing oil and filter with these, if you leave it more then 5 minutes with no oil, it won’t get oil pressure.
Love the channel, long time subscriber
I had a 4yr old mk3 Cortina for 9 years, replaced brakes, sills, suspension, clutch, camshaft twice, rust galore repairs & full paint job & more, & it still only lasted another 12 months after I sold it. Put me off Fords for life - they were rubbish and would not let my family touch one ever since. Enjoyed your video, good fun to watch.👍
Made that look easy lads, I heard it was the earlier ones of these these that had the engine fault, we had a couple of early transits 17plates had similar issue
These are notorious for problems here in Australia.motors/gearboxes.my neighbours one caught fire.
Definitely the funniest gag so far Rob 🤣🤣🤣
Found a crack? Are you sure he didn’t say ‘found a crank’? lol
Chris and rob excellent content and the joke at end was brilliant still a long way to beat chris on toilet 🚽😂😂.
Brilliant joke and perfect delivery!!
It’s a piece of piston. The curved area is gudgeon hole. They’re a mare to get out , take the wipers off and the wiper panel to get room. Especially if it’s a manual. I used to hate them but after building a few I don’t mind them now. In NZ we blank off the egr and sort the ECU To suit and they go heaps better.
Just Brilliant! Loved the dog joke 🤣
After an oil change, and leaving it a few hours without refilling with oil, oil pump is controlled by computer, then have to take sump off and reprogram as thinks it is out of oil.
We need more jokes like that . Ace .😅😂
My boss has a 62plate ford Ranger standing idle with engine problems,nice little project for someone
At least guys, it went out with a bang! In the US Ford Explorers are nicknamed Exploders... a friend of mine in Arizona is on his third engine now and he says " the clock is ticking".
thee old conrod has come out for some fresh air nice one
🤣🤣🤣 Chris’s reaction at the end man, can imagine his face
That "DIY" engine hoist is worth it's weight in gold. Perhaps a school bus yellow paint job for it. Narragansett Bay
Another Ecoboom engine doing its thing! Great vid guys, can see “hello” being another t-shirt slogan
Ford make nice looking cars, but i'm not brave enough to buy one.
I couldn't stop laughing about the car insurance 😂😂😂
Heavy right foot caused that damage,impressed with Chris,s neatness, and steadiness makes a troublesome job far easier
Good job rob and Chris. 👍👍👍
It’s well documented of the vane oil pump failure and egr problems guys
I love how you two work so well together
You 2 are like engine Midwifes the care you took in getting that engine out it was like watching a difficult birth.
Loved that video boys. I'm always impressed with your confidence on where all the components go on the rebuild. Best wishes, Mike. Marlborough.
My 3.2 has done 390k absolutely no problems runs sweet as a nut. The reason they die mostly is people try to change the oil themselves. These have a complex oil system and if you get one make sure it has a full service history by Ford as they have the machinery to change the oil. If you get a airlock in the lubricant system you are knackered.
The main issue is oil change must be completed in 15 min and car restarted immediately so not to lose the prime on the oil pump.
Interesting, never heard of that before.
One of the VERY lucky owners.
I watch your videos religiously, my misses has zero intrest in cars , but she sits and watches and takes it all in , she pipes up on a video last week when you were trying to diagnose a problem, have they checked the timing belt hasn’t snapped ! 🤣
My word you did a great job with that! I am so impressed with the methodical progress and lack drama. This was clearly a well maintained vehicle and for the engine to fail so dramatically at such low mileage there must be an underlying problem. Keep up the good work!!
Really good video guys, really engrossing and absorbing didn’t want it to end really
Wow that’s shocking - loving the dad jokes Rob 😂 How come Chris calls you Johnny ?
I’ve heard that before “ piston broke “ ! Sounds like a lifestyle choice 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Threw a Conrad through the block in my first car, spectacular!
Love the joke at the end...😂
That was the best video you too have done really entertaining keep it boys brilliant 🎉
I'm not coming out, 'cause I'm having a little cry..... comedy gold!!🤣😂🤣
Just love you two I love how nothing stresses you both out especially Chris he’s so laid-back love the banter you have between each other great content lads thank you 😊😊😊😊
Great video really enjoyed. If bellhousing bolts were such a nightmare did you not consider removing engine and gearbox as a complete unti and then split on shopfloor?
Fords' are great to drive when they are working
I liked the dog joke!! 🤣 That engine was well mashed though! Wow.
Great content lads ,always something enjoyable and instructive to watch on this channel .
Change the oil pump to the new kind .
Love the joke at the end 🤣🤣🤣
That joke was fantastic, I was believing the hard sell 😂😂😂😂😂
I see the wildtrack stickers are missing on the bin.
Love my rangers
Ford seem to have a few vehicles that have major issues with the engines
Another quality engine in the Grenade range of power plants from Ford. Fix Or Repair Daily
Put 280 ,000km on mine not an issue, yet🤞
Loved the ending😂😂. More than anything the camaraderie between you comes through so well on your videos. Thanks so much- I really enjoy your content 👏🏻👏🏻
Look out for possible redline and / or diesel runaway. Threw a bearing. A scan may reveal more as to the reason why the crank tried to escape.
Typical ford 😮 . Great video guys love the content 👌. Hi from Australia 🇦🇺 . Rangers are very popular here , after seeing this l will not be buying one . Only fix would be put a toyota engine in it 😂.
Buy a vw amarok with a 4 cilinder. Those are oldschool vw diesels the bigblock is a landrover lump.
I was thinking of getting a Ford Ranger and wanted the 3.2 rather than the smaller engine. I’m not sure if I still want a Ranger now 😬
Great video, educational and funny what more could you ask for ! Keep up the good work.
Great vid again guys, you two seem like the perfect duo to be with on a lads night out or 'jolly boys outing' lol, loving all the humour and banter this is my favourite channel
Can we paint the hoist please ?
When you find the new engine please put a geared oil pump in instead of the stupid vain one that’s in from factory and the new engine won’t go bang when it’s serviced incorrectly
Great job and lots of patience guys
Great work as ever fellas. Thank you.
I was about to get a 2015 Ford Ranger along with my 2008 Hilux here in Norway.
But then I noticed a used engine is £5000 at the scrap yard for a Ranger and only £1000 for a Hilux so I thought nope!
Can you put a hilux engine in the ranger?
Putting a hilux engine in a ranger would be like putting a F1 engine in a lada 😂😂😂😂
@@jamie123bThat’s a rather Naive comment. Different mounting points , engine mounts, engine dimensions.
@@paulsz6194 I’ve never taken an engine in or out you see
@jamie123b believe it or not, it has been done. Anything is possible with some ingenuity.
Superb video gents.How can a big 3.2 L engine with 93000miles literally explode and fail.Come on Ford wake up and pull up your socks and manufacture more reliable products.
Brilliant video. Enjoy a time lapse, but nice change to watch you both work in real-time 👍
Great video, I love the working relationship you guys have going to work must be a real pleasure 😊
Only have the vehicles for the life of the manufacturers warranty and follow their service schedules..
