The chevys didn't get stranded on the mountain for the night cuz they couldn't make it up the mountain in the first place 😂
LOL, when its going Mach Jesus, LOL, love you guys!! Enjoy watching you all work, thank you!
The nice thing about owning a Ford? When it breaks down, I don't have to worry about someone stealing it!
I just hate days like that. But it does make for good content 😂
Hill Billy for President, or maybe a pay rise .......😊🙂
That's common with old Fords, they put different parts on the same year of trucks. You are going to have fun fixing that truck all the time lol.
Robby is wise far beyond his years. That said; habits
There's no freshness stamp on big blocks! I always keep (at home) at least one complete engine I know works (I borrow parts and replace with new proven) for all my cool toys and never put new unproven parts on anything out on the road (Nope never not even a tire). Time to get a rusty 1979 Ford F350 parts truck, right? That's ok, probably never happen again.
People think, I am trying to save money by keeping parts around but, that's not exactly it.
GEEZ, y'all don't know nothing about engineering!! 🤨..... them bolts ain't too long, Robby backed the truck up too far for 'em to thread in all the way. 😁
FORD: Found On Road Dead. It's a feature, not a bug.
👍
Improvise, adapt, and overcome. Keeping your sense of humor and enjoying the adventure. And who would’ve thunk the Trekker would have successfully pulled the tow truck home. Your off-road excursions never cease to entertain. Kudos to all of you for your team effort. Great video.
I feel like HIll Billy is one of those guys that looks leaner than a rattlesnake but is like the nicest guy ever lol moral to the story I’ve grown to like his commentary starting to see his personality shine a little more each episode and tel ya what… from the edits he seems like a solid dude that would give you the shirt off his back for nothing more than a handshake 🤝 good crew always good edits keep it coming! 🎉
Agreed, a rough diamond, but boy o boy is he starting to shine ✨ big fan ❤ hope to travel and meet all those guys some day.
Yah gotta love a hillbilly, redneck or a hippy ! Just good ole folks . I do
I believe your theory about hillbilly is right. At least from day one when I started watching this I felt that he is just a good ole country boy. I’m glad everyone else is finally seeing what I’ve always seen about him 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Meaner
@@dakotamiller643 lol, a lot of us figured it out right off the bat!
I had a Wagoneer that ate water pumps until someone pointed out that one of the washers was bigger than the other. I never thought such a little bit of weight would throw it off balance, but I replaced all 4 with identical ones and that was the last water pump I ever put on it. It is crazy how much energy you have at that point of rotation. I'm glad you got it back home, I'm really looking forward to seeing that thing done (and my truck would love to get a front bumper that rugged). Another great video, guys! 👍👍
Never let an GM guy touch a Ford. They destroy them on purpose ROBBY. You know you did that just so you can put your motor in there.
Anytime you buy a water pump for any vehicle is best to take the old one in to compare with the new one.
Water pumps are a real pain! They made so many variations that getting the right one is a miracle!
Add to the fact that the factories tend to use up old parts after they changed specifications.
I had a 1968 impala with a 327 engine that had factory parts from 3 different year models!
I just removed and disassembled a Transfer Case on a Cub Cadet Volunteer EFI 20HP 2011 Model Year. And let me tell you, Cub Cadet doesnt even offer a Parts Diagram for the Serial Number Range on this machine. Which when i ordered parts, it uses parts off 3 different Models. And it was so frustrating to rebuild that TC simply because of the Hybrid Engineering lol.
“He waited his whole life for you to use those nuts”😂
it's 100% the spacer. It has to fit snugly on the center water pump pin and in the fan pin. You need to get a new one that does. that thing spins with a ton of force. You guys are always positive no mater what. its awesome
There must be a machine shop in the area that can build whatever size spacer you need.
So, does this mean you guys are now “shade tree mechanics?” Since you move Fred into the shade to work on it?
don't worry about the haters brother. keep on keeping on.
I’ve had bad fords & good fords. You never know which it is till you’ve got the problems. I’ve had similar issues with Chevy.
I think you guy's need to get a water pump thats the same as the one you took off. Then figure out the fan issue. AND GET IT RIGHT THIS NEXT TIME OK LOL. Because King Fred Needs To Be Fixed. Thanks for the video guy's.
Road trip, Water pump failed, none available,drilled,tapped, installed 2 zerks pumped full of grease, lasted 2 years
That's thinking outside of the box fix. 🤔👍
King Fred is living up to the FORD name: Found On the Road Dead and Fix Or Repair Daily.
Or twice daily…in Robby’s case
No vehicle will last long if a Chevy guy is working on it and doing Mickey Rat "fixes", instead of fixing it right the 1st time.
The Robby Layton Crew have a gazillion Milwaukee cordless power tools (such as a GRINDER and a GASKET REMOVER) but they didn't take even one grinder with a wheel on it, a thin cutoff disc for it and two charged batteries with them...just in case they needed it to clearance, cut, grind or "sand" something like water pump bolts, a water pump housing or old gasket, a fan spacer, a fan shroud, battery hold down bolts, etc. They're funny because MOBILE USE is one of the biggest reasons and use for cordless tools. 😄😆😂🤣
What a mess, something is not right! But you got it off the mountain. Have a better week and count your blessings amen.
14:50, since you have a fan shroud for the radiator you don't need that fan extension piece😮???
A successful recovery any way you look at it and what a relief to be back @ the shop....!
Yogi Berra said "When you come to a fork in the road, take it." Problem is knowing which one. ;-)
Robby’s daily checklist:
1. What can I break today for another video
2. Done
🤪🤪🤪🤪
You aways find a way to turn frustration into fun! We never doubted for a minute that Hillbilly had big nuts! Great channel!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA
I'm glad to see that Robby thinks all those slots and pockets on the top of the Milwaukee Packout are for parts storage, just like I do.
Robby can make a good drama queen! LOL
In the beginning of the video you reminded me why I hated owning Ford’s.
Buying 2 of everything is just what you have to do if you don’t want to keep going back and forth between the parts store and where you happen to break down. Ford rarely used the same parts from one month to the next so it was always such a pain trying to get the right one.
Most of the time that's what you have to do with an GM vehicle.
Yeah, you have to do similar with a suprising amount of different brands, yes, even the "bombproof" Toyota.
@@mrfunnylookinhayes9088 You’re funny. You can take a crankshaft out of just about any SBC and put it in just about any other SBC. GM is known to use the same parts for many years and in many different models even from cars to their trucks.
The best thing ford has going for them is that they’re super safe (because they’re always broke down somewhere it’s hard to get into an accident with them).
Like my friend's Chevy Malibu with "which V6 is it?" If you got the right oil filter, then you got the wrong air filter. If you got the right air filter, you got the wrong throttle body. If you got that right, you got the wrong starter. If you got that right, you got the wrong water pump. And I changed them ALL because they ALL failed. I came to the conclusion that's why Chevy parts are cheaper than for other brands. They need to be replaced more often. Worst 2 vehicles I've ever had to operate were a square body C30 tow truck that needed to be towed by the Ford tow truck quite often. And an S10 that had failures like master cylinder as I approached a red light at 55mph, and the trans input bearing that failed so it was difficult to get it into gear, the bedsides that were cracking a handwidth behind the cab, even though it had never carried a load, and the fold down back seat that still had the factory plastic on it and tore out of the inside of the cab when my 4 year old sat on it. All with less than 8500 miles when we parted company. Or then there was my customer's brand new last year squarebody 4x4 crew cab 454 that went into limp home mode every time it left the home neighborhood until it limped home into the Lemon Law. Or my aunt's new class A motorhome on a GM chassis with 454 that blew the new engine before it got from Burbank to Palm Springs. Should I keep going about Chevies?
@@dustymojave cool story bro 😎
FORD JUNK ... HILLBILLY EVEN SAID SO. and hillbilly and those pliers 🤯🧐 I saw him take those brake lines apart on that dodge truck with them and it just tears it up for the next guy
No it's a FIXED OR REPAIRED DAILY put that Cummins in it for crying out load, please every time you drive it something breaks 😂😂😂 should of brought a chev or dodge something with a decent engine already in it
I would rebuild Fred’s motor before I would ever put a 12 valve in him. Yes 12 valve Cummins are great engines but I think Fred’s stock motor is cool or I would put a 7.3L Power Stroke in him
Did hillbilly really say he will eventually want the nuts back that were used to space out the bolts for water pump ? ...he's a " there mine and I want them back" kinda guy. WEIRD 😕
I would install electric fans so you won’t have to worry about the fan hitting the radiator
Dang old Fred.. 100% that spacer is making that fan wipe out the pump. They need to fit hub centric perfectly or that vibration is huge. Great vid great recovery your team luv to laugh its great to watch
Still loving yalls content Robbie..... Thank you Bubba 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤘💯
Hillbilly, at 24:47 in the video, stopping the female hormones will stop the hot flashes aka flashbacks. Just kidding, we love ya Hillbilly. 🤔
I agree with Hillbilly, I wish they would use 15's again and have more rubber. Looks a lot better. I laugh when I see mudders on 20's
typical Ford. I can't wait to see the Cummins go in King Fred! Great video as usual guys (and gal )
I once changed a water pump on an 86 Ford Ranger. As soon as I poured coolant in the radiator, it started pouring out around the shaft on the water pump. Rebuilt water pumps are not necessarily good water pumps.
how many layton employees does it take change a water pump lol
I think hillbilly is a damn fine individual. I really like him and his demeanor a lot. Robby you are the funniest small town Utah person I’ve ever seen 😂😂 your deadpan jokes with the mormon undertone kill me
s*** happens Don't ruin equipment because your butt hurt keep up the good work? Great show
You Might Aswell Just Swap The Ford & Stop Wasting Your Time.
As soon as you guys turned King Fred on you could see that fan didn’t spin straight. 😂 Warped
Robby’s constant degrading of hillbilly gets a little tired some after a while surprise hillbilly takes it so well
One of the reasons I stay away from Fords. Mid-year parts changes. Makes it crazy to get the correct part. Now that I nolonger HAVE to work on my own vehicles, I don't care as much.😂
i had that exact problem with a square body chevy years ago, only my water pump housing cracked sending the fan through my brand new radiator
I like the wrecker and the wife content the best 😅
Don't worry Robbie I live overseas 🙃
Thought one should cherish his wife.
Love your videos. I have to ask why do you not have some trail radios. Some GRMS radios would make your jobs a lot easier.
yes, a weight imbalance on the fan would destroy the bearing quickly.
Are you going to leave duel tires on the back of the king. Was just wondering about rocks getting stuck in between the tires on the trails.
Check out Trail Mater's videos on that issue. If you get a stone between, you pull it out with one of the winches.
Lockers in the Trekker. Soon
Running on the Ragged Edge ! Thanks for sharing your Misery !
This is a common theme with after market parts sadly. I deal with ford parts on my truck all the time and the new Motorcraft parts are awesome because a lot of components are the same throughout the years so you can get a updated cam profile for a 1998 F-150 and it works great. Tho with all after market parts a lot arent necessarily OEM approved, so they arent made exactly the right way, or they were made to fit multiple models thus have a different shape and more than the original part.
If we look at the world with a love of life, the world will reveal its beauty to us
Make that spacer on a lathe, use proper bolts with specific torque. Check balance of fan.
The "three stooges" live again! Nyuk nyuk!
Good morning Robby I could be wrong but that mountain is definitely you guys is kryptonite since you always end up breaking down and things always seem to happen.
I would avoid that mountain
Hey Robby, When you come to the fork in the road take it :p
Hi Robby 👋. Water pump - I did a similar problem. I put a 460 into my 1978 f150 and I didn't want to buy a new fan clutch for it. ( Old one is off a 400m ). So I drilled out the center hole to fit the fan clutch to fit the water pump. Drove it 40 miles to exhaust shop. Next morning he started it and the fan went into the radiator. Those fan pieces I think must be perfect fit ☺️ Enjoying and laughing all the way 🎉😂
That's awesome people taking care of Hillbilly. Thanks guys. I have been pondering ideas of what to get him myself. I suck as coming up with pet names and present ideas lol
Those new teeth have made Hill Billy cleverer 💯🖐🤝
Robbie that's what you get
You should never badmouth afford can you pay for it the long run. Maybe you can put a LS in it.
Put a 454.🤷🏽♂️🤟🏽🤙🏾👍🏽😊😎🙋🏽♂️
Great video!! You're right about it possibly being a defective waterpump. When I was 16 back in the early 80's I had a 69 Camaro SS that was my daily driver that I built to race. I couldn't afford a 2nd vehicle. I had a waterpump that had started leaking a few days before I had a big streetrace that a guy was trailering his car in from out of town. The day before the race I changed the waterpump & did some other maintenance plus a few performance mods to hopefully get little more HP out of it. I cranked it & let it warm up. When it was warm I gave it a couple of throttle wacks when all of a sudden I hear this horrendous sound of something breaking & metal crashing into each other plus water spraying everywhere!! I killed it & got out to inspect the carnage. The front end of the waterpump broke & sent that part of the pump plus the fanblade through my radiator!😢😢 Needless to say, but I wasn't able make the race. I also ended up losing the block over this. A few days later we had a freak ice storm that lasted for a week which was very unusual for where I lived in E.Tx. From my stupidity & sub-zero temps I didn't make sure all of the water was drained from the block. I thought that there wasn't enough water left in the block to do any damage. I couldn't have been more wrong. Like I said from my stupidity plus my age,laziness how cold it was the block was cracked so bad there was no way to salvage it. A few months later I sold the car to the 2nd owner of the car because at the age of 16 I couldn't afford to replace the block & have all of the machine work done to the new block that I'd done on the original block. To this day I wish I'd never sold that car!! I thought no problem I'll just buy another one one day. Little did I know what my future had in store for me at the time. I've nearly died 6 times, got married, we had twin boys that were born extremely premature & weighed 1lb.11oz. & 1lb.10z. They are an absolute example of miracles & blessings. They have had their lists of health issues due to being born so premature. Unfortunately at the age of 26 the smaller of the twins passed away after a sudden illness on 11/2/22. I still hold out hope for one day replacing that Camaro mainly because of how much he & I love that peticular year & how much we talked about one day building another one. One thing I've learned is no matter how bad you think you have it there is always someone somewhere that has it worse than you so you need to count your blessings & focus on them & try not to focus on the negative things in your life. I'm sorry this comment was so long & all over the place, but Robby & crew I want to thank you for the awesome family friendly content you put out each week!! You have no idea how much you help with your positive content to someone who may be struggling at the time!! Again, thank you & keep up the amazing work!!
You guys are nuts!!! Love it!!! Hang in there ...
Imagine doing this as a regular off-roader. It would suck to be stopped twice.
The best part of this is that it will be a great story in the future.... remember when.... ?
Gotta love the complete lack of quality in the parts …. Every mechanic I know is tearing their hair out from continuously having to redo jobs because the Chinese parts fail.
It’s almost mind blowing how terrible some parts are now days and they just get sold that way!!
As a Manufacturing Engineer I learned that the Chinese are perfectly capable of making quality product...IF you are willing to A. Pay for that quality. And B. Do Quality Control inspection to ensure you get what you pay for. Bad quality parts is more on American importers not making sure they get the quality they pay for. They just take what they get from Customs straight off the ship and spread it around leaving the end customer to deal with any problems.
Its a good thing it broke, if you took it down there to get your CanAm you'd be calling Matt to get "King Fred" out because it was not coming out of there by itself lol
1:06 ... I changed a U-Joint starting in the Parts Store Parking lot, and finished up in in the K-Mart parking lot once! (1974 Chev pickup at Rear Dif) .. I could still drive but was 2 hours from home and could not get over 10MPH :) )
I got the u-Joint just as the Parts Store closed, three bolts came out fine, but one broke off flush.! :( ... Not only that!! BUT the U-Joint did not fit (It was one with two different diameters) It didn't fit :( .... but luckily I was able to reuse two caps off the old one, and didn't lose any needle bearings! :) !
I put it all together with three bolts (you know, the kind with those Flat metal hoops), K-Mart was still open next door, I got a long 1/4" X 2 1/2" flathead bolt and nut (actually a pack of 5), two 1/4" drill bits, and the cheapest drill they had .... then I drove slowly looking for an outlet
... I parked on the store sidewalk by the outlet (I didn't buy an extension cord) .. drilled out the broken bolt and put the K-Mart bolt and nut in! .. Not only made it home? It lasted till I sold the truck 3 years later :)
At the End. AGAIN with the phrase "OLD GAL" (3rd time) I am thinking that she is giving you repeated water pump problems because you continue to disrespect her by calling her King Fred. Again maybe "The Boss" llike your wife, or Queen Fredrica. You are continuing to have some misgendering problems, Robbie.. The Old Girl. (Await your thoughts on this Robbie)
Robbie don't worry it's not you guys that messed up the tow truck, OLD dead Fred is a Ford so it will never run right. This is a great channel, keep up the great work and God Bless you guys and your families. ✌️ 😊👍🙏🏼
Dang, Robby!! You had some kind of luck with King Fred! The bad kind! LOL!! But at least it's back to the shop and figuring it out will by much easier there. PLUS... you're closer to the parts store! LOL!! Good luck!!
I agree with Hillbilly, all rim, no tire is dumb and they do not perform off-road at all! I recently wanted a brand new RAM limited 1500 but it seems they all come with 22 inch wheels! Not! Bought a 2021 Power Wagon instead WITH 17's!
As one previous commentator said, if it wasn't for bad luck, you wouldn't have any luck at all with that Ford.
Just an FYI, though, vacuum is measured in inches of mercury (inHg) and not in pounds per square inch (PSI).
don't like 'rubber band' tires either!
Somebody get hillbilly a set of lockers for the treker!
I can enjoy some phony drama, having worked for Discovery Channel, but your thumbnail of “at 10,000 ft!” tops any of EP Jane Root’s by far. I mean that’s above tree line, Robby.
That woulda have SUCKED, however, you guys made that look fun. I guess hanging out on top of a mountain on a beautiful day with your buddies and very cool wife, doesn't matter what your doing. Have fun with another R&R waterpump.
OMG! The wrecker is the poster child for Ford. (Found on road dead)(Fix or repair DAILY)!!! The sooner you get the engine out of it the better off you'll be. Hopefully 🤞😅
figure the Time and actual Money you've wasted on that Junk Ford.. park that junk until you've got the parts to Engine swap it to something that will Run both Directions.. Too and From.. Please have Demri Talk more during these Video's.. She's great at it and she's Cute as a Button both to look at and to listen too.. She's a "Keeper"
that water pump that you had put on is more than likely for a passenger car and not a truck
Looks like the previous owner Jerry rigged a lot of stuff that’s why I say it’s a different fan, The first pump they were gonna put on was definitely The right one.
Remember to get your knife back from our "star", Demri ? Interesting however, Robby, that the manufacturer has reduced the quantity of materials until it doesn't have a waterpump housing that is strong enough to last even two hours. While the one you are replacing has run for ,what?, 40 years..?
Parts quality sucks anymore. The last time I did a waterpump on my '95 F-150 it took 4 before I got one that would last beyond 10-20 miles.
If you look at the last video. He states it don't fit. Therefore, making it his problem financially. Running a business. Hillbilly needs to learn the consequences of not doing mechanic work right. Like you said, sabotage. Seems only fair.
What I don't understand is the Math. If Robby was running a body shop that did some mechanic work as well, this would be a complete misapplication of resources. It doesn't take Four people to replace a water pump, even on a trail. Once they record and upload the footage, the TH-cam factor kicks in and Robby can sit by and do color commentary rather than do the actual work.
I'm not criticizing, I'm admitting that I really don't understand TH-cam Math. There are other channels that mow overgrown lawns and do serious work at no cost to the homeowners just so they can put the content on TH-cam. If I told my high school guidance counselor in the mid-80s that I wanted to do work for free and record it for other people to watch, she would have called me a nut.
Positivity in abundance...good recovery.
Dissapointing,, Robby!! canam is canadian,,, I like Polaris or even Arctic Cat,,, Made in USA,,,has to mean something?
oh and a fyi, Right Stuff 5 mimute gasket maker silicone ready to use right away install amd go.
no im not sponsered by them ive just used it before and it works great expenesive but when you cant wait 24 hours, its Great Stuff😅 😅😅😅😅
What A TOTAL GONG SHOW That Turned Out To Be, But Now You've Had Enough, BAD & CRAZY For A WHILE,SO You Should Be Good To Go 😜👍
don't know what is going on but you tube thinks i have an add blocker which I do not. SO I cant watch on chrome. Funny since Google youtube and Chrome. If I use edge I can watch but I have to endure long commercials very often, Not worth it any more The platform I loved has run me off. Take care!
Am I the only one who reckons Hillbilly is getting to look quite a bit more 'successful' of late?
You know, nobody believes a man can be successful - if he's too skinny!
Those new 'ivory castles' seem to have been working overtime, plus double time at the weekend.
Get Robby to a Dermatologist ASAP. I had one of what he’s got several on his face on my forehead and it was malignant melanoma, a most deadly cancer. You also may want to visit a plastic surgeon. You kids deserve a life and a big slice of it is filming. Robbys face is not nice for that…. Demri. And yeah, Hillbilly is looking better and bigger.
Well, we know why you bought a Ford. You needed repair content. Fix Or Repair Daily. Hillbilly’s Uncle had the extra nuts because he worked on Fords too!
