Several of your videos have come in handy while swapping a 2020 production engine in a MY2019 1.5 fusion SE with the coolant intrusion problem. Out of warranty (99k mi) so this was most economical. Keep up the good work and taking the time to do things the right way. A true problem solving mechanic!
This guy is a great mechanic he put his own hard earned money in to a customers car to make sure the car has no problem. Its hard to see good mechanic or a good person like him in these everybody ripping of everyone days appreciate your efforts sir..!🤠
I am a Ford tech at another dealership not too far from you, I do appreciate the way you approach vehicles and are honest with your work. That is what I try to do my best with also. Thank you on behalf of Ford.
@@prankmonkey650 yer he’s very methodical, and his knowledge is incredible, and I wish more mechanics would take more prides what they do, like this chap. 👌🏻 faultless
I bet you just earned a customer for life no matter where you are wrenching. Honesty, and integrity, are not learned they are just part of who you are.
I am watching all of your videos about the 1.5 ECOBOOST engines. I was blessed with a gift of a 2016 Fusion with that engine with 69K miles. It runs great and was serviced regularly. It seems that oil changes and good fuel are the best things that the Consumer can do.
I just wanted to thank you for your help , yesterday I took it to the ford dealer and they kept it over night to do the coolant test and I called this morning it indeed was coolant intrusion and the motor has to be replace . I have had it at the dealers 6 times over the last year and no one could figure out what was wrong . I felt like I was going crazy . The coolant intrusion starts off on my car as a shake a only highway speeds when it was cold and then as months went on it got worse and worse to the point I was just going choke up my loss and get a new car because i didnt feel safe in the escape anymore so again thank you very much and keep up the good work and to give a little extra info I over service my car with 65000 I had the trans serviced twice , fuel induction done twice , all brake fluid changed and I change my motor oil around every 3500 to 4000 miles with synthetic Mobil 1 oil .
I had bought brand new pick up truck, and I noticed when I fueled up at the station closest to my house it had a rough idle. nothing crazy just felt a little rough for a brand new truck. I decided to try a different brand, and almost immediately it ran so much smoother. I learned these newer vehicles are sensitive to the quality of fuel
It makes you very unhappy when a dealer can’t figure out what is wrong with your car. I had a Dodge Ram van with a V8. One of the spark plugs didn’t fire. The computer jacked up the voltage to the coil. Burned out at least 3 ignition coils before some mechanic in a small town figured it out. I’m not angry with anyone but it shows you the value of a good well trained mechanic
I took my car to two Ford dealerships multiple times for the same problem. They acted like nothing was wrong instead of admiting they are incompetent. So I did a lot of research and troubleshooting. I then found the broblem myself. It was an electrical problem. I will never take my vehicles back to Ford. I will never purchase another Ford. The way they handled the situation was really suspicious.
@@florenbaron7111 On the practical side all you want or need is a safe and reliable car. When I see a dealer that can’t fix their own car…. Troubling. That why I’ll drive a Honda or Toyota or Japanese car.
Great video. Yes, I don't think people realize how sensitive newer vehicles are to fuel quality. I use Shell gas as well, even though it cost $0.05+/gal more or so, but my cars run so much better with it. If you want ethanol free fuel for your gas jug and the gas station uses the same hose and nozzle for the ethanol free gas and the "up to 10%", put 2 gallons in your car and then by this time the hose should be pure gas. I see guys pull up and get 1 gallon of ethanol free gas in their little lawn mower gas jug and the truth is on those shared hoses, they didn't get any ethanol free gas.
I wish there were more mechanics out there like this. Alot of people always get a shit mechanic and then blame them all. Just turned in my 17 ford escape 1.5 on tuesday. They tested it and sure enough they said ill be getting a new block. Car only has 40k on it. Hoping it comes back without any issues.
I agree about this mechanic,but how do you find good mechanics? The dealer system creates lazy/bad mechanics because the dealers want the mechanics to generate as much revenue as possible. It creates dishonest employees.😡😡😡
@@fw1421 i agree theres no way to know. You walk into a dealer, talk to the service advisor and then they basically give you whichever mechanic is next in line for work. You just end up waiting and hoping that your dealer has a good mechanic and not a shotty one just looking for hrs.
Well done dude! You are a super top tier technician. These DI turbo engines are so complex compared to the old engines. And there is little margin for error when rebuilding them. I will say one thing about the 1.5L in my 2020 Fusion.. that oil does not smell like gasoline anywhere near close to what my Kia 2.4L would smell like. Even after a fresh oil change in that Kia and driving 5 miles, the oil smelled like 50% gasoline. I know all these DI engines have fuel dilution issues but it seems to not be as bad in the Ford 1.5t than in some other cars.
We at our shop have a Shell station next door we use for our personal vehicles & recommend it to our customers because it's a busy station and gets fresh fuel often ...👍
you go way above and beyond to make sure your work is right. I admire that. Today its all about volume and its so hard to balance quality and volume. our shop hired a guy who is real fast. They over worked him, over booked him, and the guy was like a machine and just pushed thru it. some of the work was less than stellar, but with the volume he was doing it was understandable. Now here I am, im not speedy gonzales. Im a steady paced guy that likes to cover all the bases. And now here I am feeling second best because the "suits"(upper managment) seem to like him more than me. Even tho Im the guy that fixes everything that no one else can fix. up to and including situations with customers that get out of hand. its crazy to see how our industry is changing more for quanity instead of quality. I admire your work and really hope i can be like you when i grow up! (im 40 btw)
I replaced brakes on a customer’s 2015 f150 with 224000 miles yesterday. 5000 mile oil changes with no repairs and not anything special for maintenance. 2nd brake pad change, no rotors. New vehicles have great longevity and reliability for so many models. I fixed dozens of knocking small block Chevy v8 trucks and cars in the late 70s and early 80s for loose valve guides or loose main bearings, or both. I replaced a lot of Toyota and Honda engines with 70-80k miles when head gaskets would blow and they’d run hot and burn oil after head gasket was done. The good old days had damn few vehicles with 200k miles without engine, trans, rear end, and steering box replaced.
@Jesse Graves They released the engine in 2007 and up. I own a 2011 Taurus and never had a problem with the engine 135k. My friend owns the same model and year and he over 200k miles and never had a problem. I took mine to dealer for brakes once and he says we never see these cars for anything major, he called them the Toyota's of Ford or something like that. The only bad thing is if the water pump goes out, then it's over, but I change my oil every 5000k miles. As of today, it still purrs like a kitten. I know a lady with a 2008 Ford 500 and ask if she has had any problem with her engine and she said, no. The plus with it too, is that its port injected and no turbo.
I definitely agree, I only use Top Tier gasoline, not bunk hole in the wall gasoline. My Parent's got a 17 Escape FWD with the 1.5L Ecoboost at just under 33,000 miles. The Coolant level is normal, no issues whatsoever, and the 19B37 PCM software update was completed around 23,000 miles. It is covered under CSP 21N12 until November 29, 2023. I am wondering if there is any economical test, evaluation, or other indicators available to reveal if this will leak Coolant soon to qualify for a short block replacement? I imagine that running it through a long pressure test wouldn't be cheap. Thank you!
I always watch your videos and you do a damn good job with diagnosis and the break down. And I own a 2015 Ford Fusion Titanium with 21,000 miles and change the oil every 4000 miles. My first Ford ever and I love the car!
There will be a lot more fuel issues right now due to the trouble there is delivering fuel to stations atm. As the bulk tanks go empty the fuel produces less vapor pressure and thus more atmospheric air and its included water vapor enter the tanks and cause condensation. ALL under ground fuel tanks (Which are federally required now in the U.S.) have a 'dead bottom' that the pump pickup doesn't reach. This is where free water will collect so it can be drained off through the sump discharge. However, on a tank that gets empty often due to lack of deliveries then it can reach the pickup before a sample is taken and it's drained off.
Heard about fuel issues years ago when ethanol blends were starting to be common in gas stations. Petro gas & ethanol separates especially if car sits undriven for a length of time .As heat of day dissipates and condensation happens in fuel tank, since ethanol is heavier than gas, and attracts water ,sits, at bottom of tank- where the pump pickup is, causing cold start/ drivability issues ,. More prevalent in low octane gas. Ford H.O's generally reccomend a good high octane for good drivability, and is usually a decal In. Fuel nozzle door or port.and printed in model handbook
Bad fuel/wrong fuel is a real issue, I've had non-flex-fuel cars come in with 40% ethanol content that threw all kinds of weird codes. I've also filled up my own truck and noticed a sharp loss of power a couple blocks the road. When it happened to me, I hooked up the scanner I keep in the center console and sure enough the knock sensors are off the charts, octane adjust ratio is maxed out, and my truck is running half the ignition timing it normally runs. I filled up with 93oct at a branded top-tier station when this happened, I'm not sure what went wrong but I've never filled up at the station again.
my friend is a fleet manager for a multinational freight company, and he orders fuel in bulk from specific refineries, as he knows which produce the least ethanol content. He says the ethanol content can often trump price variances. His example is 1% extra ethanol = 3% less mileage and reduces the periods between servicing by months. He also says by paying 5% extra for fully synthetic oils/lubricants he averages over 10% saving on service costs.
Hey great video you are so right I hauled fuel for 6 years and I always tell people to stay away from mom and pops gas stations because are always running out of fuel because they are playing the market everyday for that price.
Ecoboost engines need good fuel. I have a 3.5 ecoboost in my F150, and a Valencia 2.0 ecoboost in my Lincoln MKC. They need at minimum, 89 octane and I use shell. No issues.
Wow, I'm impressed by all of your efforts. I have a question for you. My 2017 Ford Escape EcoBoost had to have it's engine replaced at 70,000 miles due to coolant getting into spark plugs. I hear this is a very common problem. Thankfully I purchased the extended warranty when I purchased the vehicle with 47,000. Since I got my car back after the engine replacement, it just is not running the same. I have gone back to Ford a few times and they tell me everything is working as it should. My question, are you aware of any other problems that may have occurred with this vehicle when the coolant got into the spark plugs? Could something like that have affected the EcoBoost or the transmission at the same time? I'm wondering if I should contact the lemon law lawyers. Ford knows that it has problems with these vehicles and, instead of dealing with them, they are just waiting and hoping that nothing happens until the warranty ends. My first Ford . . . . not sure if I will ever purchase another. Thanks, M
Im the original owner 2011 Raptor with 119k miles... Over the years, she has taught me a few lessons... And I certainly agree Rich, it makes a difference where you buy your fuel.. Also, When gas prices here in NY was over $4 a gallon a few years back, I tried to save myself some $$$ on close to 36 gallons of fuel..That was a HUGE mistake.. I put either 87or 89 in her, and boy, she let me know she wasnt happy with it... I put nothing but 93 octane in..Now i could do 91, but for the few cents difference, I just go with 93 and purchase my fuel from Sunoco..ALSO, on 1 of my oil changes, over 75k miles, they decided to put full synthetic oil in her..I left the shop, and in a matter of 20-30 mins of driving, I instantly notice she was running rough, hard..I KNEW right then, it was the oil.. ALL my oil changes, prior, had been a blend... Went back to the dealership, and they were kind enough to redo the oil change with the blend at no cost to me.. Its AMAZING how the type of oil, gas and even oil filter can corrupt your vehicle performance...
I run a tank of 10 percent ethanol fuel every once in a while to clear any moisture buildup out of the tank, but most of the time run premium non-ethanol fuel.
@@dustys5512 I live in the desert. Moisture is not an issue. I can't remember the last rain. Maybe 6 or 7 months ago. I also run ethanol free, it's a little more money, but has a longer shelf life.
The corn they use for making fuel it’s not the stuff you can eat. I’ve never had problems with ethanol gas. Plus it keeps the carbon out of your engine. I always buy top tier fuel and I never have Driveability issues. And since I worked at General Motors for 15 years and did nothing but driveability I can tell you there’s absolutely nothing wrong with ethanol fuel up to 10%.
@@DCSPORTSTER In the desert heat, ethanol tainted fuel degrades starting in 30 days. After a couple months, it's not even usable. The good thing? I pick up used motorcycles all the time with gummed up carb for cheap. I clean the carbs and more than double my money. With 10% ethanol, we lose about 5% of available horsepower and lose about 5% of the fuel mileage. I also causes SMOG in the summer months. Time to end this mandate. It's a scam tax on the country that benefits a few corn states. That's really all ethanol is. A tax.
@@TheBandit7613 I live in Idaho and in the summertime moisture isn't much of an issue either. It gets blazing hot and dry. But some of the winter and the whole of spring its very humid. Don't move to Idaho unless your love of the mountains is greater than your hate for lousy weather extremes. The weather is pleasant for only 2 or 3 months of the year at most.
Hi thinking about buying a 2017 Ford escape tatinum or the se model which one has the most problems what should Iook for.Thanks for your help I watch your migrant problem videos
Sometimes the t/s tree makes you scratch your head and wonder who wrote it, but 99% of the time it’s reliable. You get the occasional odd ball problem that takes you in circles and has to be found using experience and your gut. Those are always fun! In the heavy diesel world, there was a huge learning curve with DEF storage at truck stops. Truck after truck came in with inefficiency codes for the scr catalyst. Drain the tank, purge the pump, and take it for a good drive on the highway. All of that for free! Warranty won’t pay for it, and the big fleets get freebies to keep them happy. Everyone thinks your genus and they are so grateful. So grateful they no bill the ticket and now you lose time.
@@FordBossMe one thing you learn after wrenching long enough is it’s always something stupid when the t/s doesn’t lead you to the problem. Lose ground, bent pin, pin not locked into connector, etc. I always want to know from the customer when it does it. Only hot, only cold, bumpy roads, turning right/left, over a certain speed, etc. it’s always an awesome day when you get a job with a complaint that has no info.
Do you recommend gas treatments like Amsoil P.I gas cleaner it’s fuel additive every 4K miles and i put in an upper cylinder lubricant every gas tank fill. I treat it like my baby
A local shell actually closed down here because they kept getting water in their fuel. They also kept mixing up diesel and gas when filling the storage tanks.
Fuel quality really is key. Especially on the new breeds. Everything I own gets Petro 94 (Canada). For the few bucks extra a tank it eliminates a variable of concern completely.
Thank you man your a great ford mechanic i have a 2020 mustang ecoboost its tuned i only use shell 93 octane and fully synthetic Mobil 1 oil 5w30 and the car always runs great i know i probably be rejected warranty now by ford if anything goes wrong with my engine i had everything done in a certified shop.
All my cars are over 20 years old - 91 ethanol free for all of them (hurts when I fill up the suburban) but all cars start and purr hot or cold. Fuel is VERY important and really, 5-6 bucks each time you fill up isn't going to kill you but some emmission equipment that fouls will...
there are two fuel stations I purchase from local and the same brand when traveling. I never buy the lowest-priced fuel I find and not from any other brands. I learned that lesson from my boss in Florida as he would buy the lowest-priced gas and always had misfire problems. he started using one brand of fuel from particular stations and the problem went away. he never varied his purchases from other stations and did not have fuel issues again.
We live in Rural Tennessee, I avoid Ethanol fuels due to consistency. Ethanol is hydrostatic and evaporates. So we use 93 marine no Ethanol. We see better fuel mileage and better oil life avoiding Ethanol entirely.
Yeah I wish my Ford dealership mechanics were as thorough ...I have a 2016 Escape that had a wire cut on the right signal which I had them repair , which they caused in replacing a bulb why they didn't just splice the broken wire instead of cutting the good one to show me why the turn signal didn't work is infuriating to say the least , in doing so they had to remove the windshield washer reservoir . They didn't put it back in proper it wouldn't hold any fluid . Needless to say I've lost any faith their service dept . I've gone to another. Nondealership mechanic they don't call them stealerships for nothing . I have a 7 year extended warranty which so far has saved me zero dollars on repairs . The service manager never called them EVER
Very nice job with this one! I’ve heard everyone say that the 1.5 is a nightmare engine. I bought my 18 escape brand new, and aside from oil changes every 4,000 miles that little engine hasn’t needed a thing and it still runs like brand new. It’s at almost 100,000 miles. I must have got a good one. 🤷🏼♂️
If they got water, call the dept of environment, they are getting water in their tank, or they got fuel when they were getting the tank refilled at the station.. They will have to lock that station down.
@@BeardedFordTech, If your videos do get any dislikes, I'd guess some might be from the kind of people who are much less conscientious and meticulous in their work than you are. You make them look bad by comparison. I wish you could move to my area to start your own business so I could take my cars to your shop and retire from working on them myself. Gettin' too old and broke down to keep doin this, but don't trust anyone else 'cause they are not like you.
My 2017 escape pulls back when i hit that gas to go. Not sure why. My engine light came on then off twice. I was told to wait until it came back on to check it out.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍You went well beyond on the scope of the job awesome because you’re conscientious Mechanic Falls people just want to get their hours you get paid or not take the extra effort as you did right now the person on the other enjoy their car and if they follow your recommendation if I should get many miles are on this vehicle
In the 2017 Escape 1.5 L EcoBoost that I purchased new the first engine lasted only till 34,000 miles and they have to be fully replaced under warranty. Ford has consistently had major problems with their EcoBoost engines across their entire line.
Bought a 1.5 17 fusion less than a week ago. I hear a slight tick at the top of the motor. 40k miles. Gonna take it to the dealership tomorrow still under warranty
Nice work. Coming pretty heavily from the outboard world, where engines commonly don't get used for several months at a time or longer, like a broken record I tell guys troubleshooting them that stale or contaminated gas has killed more boat engines than anything. I'll admit, i don't immediately think of fuel when troubleshooting autos because they are usually used often. But yeah, junk gas will make the best run like the worst.
My daughter has a 2017 Ford Escape Titanium. It's been in the shop several times for the transmission fault service now showed up on the instrument cluster.. It's been the shop 2 times. The first time, they put a new torque converter in. She got it back and drove it for 30 minutes and the transmission fault service now flashed on the instrument cluster. again. It went back to the shop they rebuilt the transmission. She got it back, drove it for a day and a half and the message short up again on the instrument. Do you think it could be the transmission control module? Or do you have any other ideas? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
A friend of mine used to work for a local gas station that made her use an entire roll of paper towels to soak up the water leaking into the tanks every time there was a delivery. Needless to say water still got into the fuel and the place just didn't care.
That sucks, probably bad gasket on the lid let’s water in catch basin, I would bail water out with a styrofoam cup that way if it’s gas it would eat the cup then you could empty it by pulling the drain chain gas went into tank guys do that with water and that’s how it gets into fuel tanks
I'm not sure if it matters which gas station you go to. I know that one offs are not the best. But if you've had good luck in the past with them then it shouldn't be a problem. 2 stories. Back in the 80's it was late on Sunday and I needed gas to get to work on Monday morning. The only station opened was a big change station. So I paid the extra and drove home. The next morning I start up the car and back out of the drive. It dies in the street. Roll it back in the drive on the starter. After the sun comes up. I find no fuel in the carb. Put a 60 watt light bulb in the fuel pump and go inside. Car starts up I put in a can of dry gas and drive the tank tills it's below half and refill at my usual station. The other story. Right next to the Ford dealer. Big chain gas station. Somehow diesel was put in the gas storage tanks. Dealer made a bunch of money cleaning fuel systems.
WOW simple bad fuel my dad always tells me watch where you get your gas from. This is something I always listen to and my sister doesn't. Good old fashioned common sense thanks 😊👍🏾
Thats why I only go to a few well known fuel stations, that I know have great fuel quality. I'm always willing to pass a few of the small gas stations to get to a known better one. I know one of small gas stations in my town waters down their gas.
Which fuel to buy is as controversial as the infamous which type of oil to use. I’m in the same pew as you brudda when it comes to quality fuel. My girlfriend thinks I’m crazy buying name brand (Shell, BP, Exxon in that order preference) when she only fills up at Costco. Yes Costco sells gasoline that meets the minimum requirements thus the cheaper price. You get what you pay for. Besides, I sneak a bottle of Lucas fuel treatment in her cars tank after every fill up.
Lol In my late teens or early twenties even in the military we would actually put on fighting events even when we were over in Iraq we would fight each other just for the fun of it I'm talking no gloves no nothing just beat the living s*** out of each other and then mid-twenties I was like I can't live like that no more eventually something bad is really going to happen
Hi I have a 2019 focus 1.5 eco boost I’m dyslexic and hard at reading and understanding. Just want to know if this engine is any good it’s woz registered in 01/07/2019
Is it true that with 2013 ford taurus for you are having erratic fuel reading that best thing to use is the chevron with techron plus due to the corrosion on the sending unit journal on the fuel pump module? Cluster has been replaced due to the left screen going out as well as fuel pump module before warranty ran out.
Hey Rich, If you were buying a F150 2WD truck that was 5-10 years old what engine would you be looking for for the most reliability. I have gotten 508,000 miles out of my old 2002 with a 4.2L with no major problems. I know none of the newer stuff will be that reliable, but I am looking for the most reliable one I can get.
What's your opinion of the "ecoboost" engines? It seems that a direct injection/turbo charged small displacement engine would be susceptible to excessive wear and breakdown.
Lots of water in cheap fuel. The ethanol attracts water and then you've got a problem. Use good fuel and keep the tank 1/2 full or better. Add gas line anti freeze in winter to control water.
have you had a flywheel break yet? we just had a 2018 fusion 1.5 eco. it came in making a horrible noise. we couldn’t tell if it was top or bottom. so we pulled the oil pan of and saw the flywheel was in two pieces.
Would it be nessecary to throw a bottle of heet into it? I usually do that in winters because my car freezes solid outside. I usually stick to a main brand like shell or Sinclair which we got alot of here in the west. Also valero isnt half bad, anything less than that and it's not good fuel. My dads friend said in an emergency he gassed up with bargain fuel and his Mercedes didn't run right until he ran a tank of shell through it.
Yes, "Top Tier" fuel is a thing. Since modern cars have sealed fuel systems, if there's excessive water in the fuel it was from the gas station.

If you want ethanol free fuel for your gas jug and the gas station uses the same hose and nozzle for the ethanol free gas and the "up to 10%", put 2 gallons in your car and then by this time the hose should be pure gas. I see guys pull up and get 1 gallon of ethanol free gas in their little lawn mower gas jug and the truth is on those shared hoses, they didn't get any ethanol free gas.
I wish there were more mechanics out there like this. Alot of people always get a shit mechanic and then blame them all. Just turned in my 17 ford escape 1.5 on tuesday. They tested it and sure enough they said ill be getting a new block. Car only has 40k on it. Hoping it comes back without any issues.
I agree about this mechanic,but how do you find good mechanics? The dealer system creates lazy/bad mechanics because the dealers want the mechanics to generate as much revenue as possible. It creates dishonest employees.😡😡😡
@@fw1421 i agree theres no way to know. You walk into a dealer, talk to the service advisor and then they basically give you whichever mechanic is next in line for work. You just end up waiting and hoping that your dealer has a good mechanic and not a shotty one just looking for hrs.
Well done dude! You are a super top tier technician. These DI turbo engines are so complex compared to the old engines. And there is little margin for error when rebuilding them. I will say one thing about the 1.5L in my 2020 Fusion.. that oil does not smell like gasoline anywhere near close to what my Kia 2.4L would smell like. Even after a fresh oil change in that Kia and driving 5 miles, the oil smelled like 50% gasoline. I know all these DI engines have fuel dilution issues but it seems to not be as bad in the Ford 1.5t than in some other cars.
We at our shop have a Shell station next door we use for our personal vehicles & recommend it to our customers because it's a busy station and gets fresh fuel often ...👍
you go way above and beyond to make sure your work is right. I admire that. Today its all about volume and its so hard to balance quality and volume. our shop hired a guy who is real fast. They over worked him, over booked him, and the guy was like a machine and just pushed thru it. some of the work was less than stellar, but with the volume he was doing it was understandable. Now here I am, im not speedy gonzales. Im a steady paced guy that likes to cover all the bases. And now here I am feeling second best because the "suits"(upper managment) seem to like him more than me. Even tho Im the guy that fixes everything that no one else can fix. up to and including situations with customers that get out of hand.
its crazy to see how our industry is changing more for quanity instead of quality. I admire your work and really hope i can be like you when i grow up! (im 40 btw)
Wish we had techs like you in my area you would be so busy you would have to live at your shop
Yeah doing free work and giving free gas
Just proves that sometimes it's the basics that are being missed when diagnosing the vehicles.
Great content Ford Boss man. Carry on with the good work. God bless.
You’re a good man 💯
Remember the days when you could expect a new vehicle to last 100000 miles easily with proper maintenance?
I have a 2013 kia Soul with 130 000, still running good.
@@chapulineroenohio5406 I visited Korea for a weekend. The Taxi we were in was a Hyundai. Same engine. 600k miles. Not km. Miles. Blew my mind.
I replaced brakes on a customer’s 2015 f150 with 224000 miles yesterday. 5000 mile oil changes with no repairs and not anything special for maintenance. 2nd brake pad change, no rotors. New vehicles have great longevity and reliability for so many models. I fixed dozens of knocking small block Chevy v8 trucks and cars in the late 70s and early 80s for loose valve guides or loose main bearings, or both. I replaced a lot of Toyota and Honda engines with 70-80k miles when head gaskets would blow and they’d run hot and burn oil after head gasket was done. The good old days had damn few vehicles with 200k miles without engine, trans, rear end, and steering box replaced.
@Jesse Graves or a 6th Gen. Ford Taurus.
@Jesse Graves They released the engine in 2007 and up. I own a 2011 Taurus and never had a problem with the engine 135k. My friend owns the same model and year and he over 200k miles and never had a problem. I took mine to dealer for brakes once and he says we never see these cars for anything major, he called them the Toyota's of Ford or something like that. The only bad thing is if the water pump goes out, then it's over, but I change my oil every 5000k miles. As of today, it still purrs like a kitten. I know a lady with a 2008 Ford 500 and ask if she has had any problem with her engine and she said, no. The plus with it too, is that its port injected and no turbo.
I'm a huge fan of your channel bro. Keep up the good work. TH-cam needed you.
I appreciate that man thank you
Good catch man! I run Shell 93 in both my cars almost exclusively....helps me sleep better at night, lol
I definitely agree, I only use Top Tier gasoline, not bunk hole in the wall gasoline.
My Parent's got a 17 Escape FWD with the 1.5L Ecoboost at just under 33,000 miles. The Coolant level is normal, no issues whatsoever, and the 19B37 PCM software update was completed around 23,000 miles. It is covered under CSP 21N12 until November 29, 2023. I am wondering if there is any economical test, evaluation, or other indicators available to reveal if this will leak Coolant soon to qualify for a short block replacement? I imagine that running it through a long pressure test wouldn't be cheap. Thank you!
I always watch your videos and you do a damn good job with diagnosis and the break down. And I own a 2015 Ford Fusion Titanium with 21,000 miles and change the oil every 4000 miles. My first Ford ever and I love the car!

There will be a lot more fuel issues right now due to the trouble there is delivering fuel to stations atm. As the bulk tanks go empty the fuel produces less vapor pressure and thus more atmospheric air and its included water vapor enter the tanks and cause condensation. ALL under ground fuel tanks (Which are federally required now in the U.S.) have a 'dead bottom' that the pump pickup doesn't reach. This is where free water will collect so it can be drained off through the sump discharge. However, on a tank that gets empty often due to lack of deliveries then it can reach the pickup before a sample is taken and it's drained off.
Heard about fuel issues years ago when ethanol blends were starting to be common in gas stations. Petro gas & ethanol separates especially if car sits undriven for a length of time .As heat of day dissipates and condensation happens in fuel tank, since ethanol is heavier than gas, and attracts water ,sits, at bottom of tank- where the pump pickup is, causing cold start/ drivability issues ,. More prevalent in low octane gas. Ford H.O's generally reccomend a good high octane for good drivability, and is usually a decal In. Fuel nozzle door or port.and printed in model handbook
Bad fuel/wrong fuel is a real issue, I've had non-flex-fuel cars come in with 40% ethanol content that threw all kinds of weird codes. I've also filled up my own truck and noticed a sharp loss of power a couple blocks the road. When it happened to me, I hooked up the scanner I keep in the center console and sure enough the knock sensors are off the charts, octane adjust ratio is maxed out, and my truck is running half the ignition timing it normally runs. I filled up with 93oct at a branded top-tier station when this happened, I'm not sure what went wrong but I've never filled up at the station again.
Great info and work. Need to start taking my truck to this dealership.
my friend is a fleet manager for a multinational freight company, and he orders fuel in bulk from specific refineries, as he knows which produce the least ethanol content.
He says the ethanol content can often trump price variances. His example is 1% extra ethanol = 3% less mileage and reduces the periods between servicing by months. He also says by paying 5% extra for fully synthetic oils/lubricants he averages over 10% saving on service costs.
Hey great video you are so right I hauled fuel for 6 years and I always tell people to stay away from mom and pops gas stations because are always running out of fuel because they are playing the market everyday for that price.
Ecoboost engines need good fuel. I have a 3.5 ecoboost in my F150, and a Valencia 2.0 ecoboost in my Lincoln MKC. They need at minimum, 89 octane and I use shell. No issues.
Wow, I'm impressed by all of your efforts. I have a question for you. My 2017 Ford Escape EcoBoost had to have it's engine replaced at 70,000 miles due to coolant getting into spark plugs. I hear this is a very common problem. Thankfully I purchased the extended warranty when I purchased the vehicle with 47,000. Since I got my car back after the engine replacement, it just is not running the same. I have gone back to Ford a few times and they tell me everything is working as it should. My question, are you aware of any other problems that may have occurred with this vehicle when the coolant got into the spark plugs? Could something like that have affected the EcoBoost or the transmission at the same time? I'm wondering if I should contact the lemon law lawyers. Ford knows that it has problems with these vehicles and, instead of dealing with them, they are just waiting and hoping that nothing happens until the warranty ends. My first Ford . . . . not sure if I will ever purchase another. Thanks, M
No engine replacement shouldn't make it feel like lack of power
Im the original owner 2011 Raptor with 119k miles... Over the years, she has taught me a few lessons... And I certainly agree Rich, it makes a difference where you buy your fuel.. Also, When gas prices here in NY was over $4 a gallon a few years back, I tried to save myself some $$$ on close to 36 gallons of fuel..That was a HUGE mistake.. I put either 87or 89 in her, and boy, she let me know she wasnt happy with it... I put nothing but 93 octane in..Now i could do 91, but for the few cents difference, I just go with 93 and purchase my fuel from Sunoco..ALSO, on 1 of my oil changes, over 75k miles, they decided to put full synthetic oil in her..I left the shop, and in a matter of 20-30 mins of driving, I instantly notice she was running rough, hard..I KNEW right then, it was the oil.. ALL my oil changes, prior, had been a blend... Went back to the dealership, and they were kind enough to redo the oil change with the blend at no cost to me.. Its AMAZING how the type of oil, gas and even oil filter can corrupt your vehicle performance...
Is there no authority that checks fuel quality?
Maybe the guy kept fuel in a rusty drum and it got contaminated?
I HATE ethanol.
Attracts moisture.
Corn is for eating, not driving.
I run a tank of 10 percent ethanol fuel every once in a while to clear any moisture buildup out of the tank, but most of the time run premium non-ethanol fuel.
@@dustys5512 I live in the desert. Moisture is not an issue. I can't remember the last rain. Maybe 6 or 7 months ago.
I also run ethanol free, it's a little more money, but has a longer shelf life.
The corn they use for making fuel it’s not the stuff you can eat. I’ve never had problems with ethanol gas. Plus it keeps the carbon out of your engine. I always buy top tier fuel and I never have Driveability issues. And since I worked at General Motors for 15 years and did nothing but driveability I can tell you there’s absolutely nothing wrong with ethanol fuel up to 10%.
@@DCSPORTSTER In the desert heat, ethanol tainted fuel degrades starting in 30 days. After a couple months, it's not even usable. The good thing? I pick up used motorcycles all the time with gummed up carb for cheap. I clean the carbs and more than double my money.
With 10% ethanol, we lose about 5% of available horsepower and lose about 5% of the fuel mileage. I also causes SMOG in the summer months. Time to end this mandate. It's a scam tax on the country that benefits a few corn states. That's really all ethanol is. A tax.
@@TheBandit7613 I live in Idaho and in the summertime moisture isn't much of an issue either. It gets blazing hot and dry. But some of the winter and the whole of spring its very humid. Don't move to Idaho unless your love of the mountains is greater than your hate for lousy weather extremes. The weather is pleasant for only 2 or 3 months of the year at most.
Hi thinking about buying a 2017 Ford escape tatinum or the se model which one has the most problems what should Iook for.Thanks for your help I watch your migrant problem videos
Sometimes the t/s tree makes you scratch your head and wonder who wrote it, but 99% of the time it’s reliable. You get the occasional odd ball problem that takes you in circles and has to be found using experience and your gut. Those are always fun! In the heavy diesel world, there was a huge learning curve with DEF storage at truck stops. Truck after truck came in with inefficiency codes for the scr catalyst. Drain the tank, purge the pump, and take it for a good drive on the highway. All of that for free! Warranty won’t pay for it, and the big fleets get freebies to keep them happy. Everyone thinks your genus and they are so grateful. So grateful they no bill the ticket and now you lose time.
The ones that I hate or Miss fires because they never lead you in the right direction when the obvious stuff isn't the problem
@@FordBossMe one thing you learn after wrenching long enough is it’s always something stupid when the t/s doesn’t lead you to the problem. Lose ground, bent pin, pin not locked into connector, etc. I always want to know from the customer when it does it. Only hot, only cold, bumpy roads, turning right/left, over a certain speed, etc. it’s always an awesome day when you get a job with a complaint that has no info.
The best mechanic out there
Do you recommend gas treatments like Amsoil P.I gas cleaner it’s fuel additive every 4K miles and i put in an upper cylinder lubricant every gas tank fill. I treat it like my baby
A local shell actually closed down here because they kept getting water in their fuel. They also kept mixing up diesel and gas when filling the storage tanks.
Fuel quality really is key. Especially on the new breeds. Everything I own gets Petro 94 (Canada). For the few bucks extra a tank it eliminates a variable of concern completely.
Thank you man your a great ford mechanic i have a 2020 mustang ecoboost its tuned i only use shell 93 octane and fully synthetic Mobil 1 oil 5w30 and the car always runs great i know i probably be rejected warranty now by ford if anything goes wrong with my engine i had everything done in a certified shop.
Hi buddy!
Please help me with my question: engine 1.5 from escape will fit to 1.5 fusion? As a swap.
You are awesome. I wish more mechanics were like you. I also wish you wer in FL lol
Grasias mi migo deverdad me ayudo mucho tu video 👍
All my cars are over 20 years old - 91 ethanol free for all of them (hurts when I fill up the suburban) but all cars start and purr hot or cold. Fuel is VERY important and really, 5-6 bucks each time you fill up isn't going to kill you but some emmission equipment that fouls will...
Where can I get ethonal free gas?
there are two fuel stations I purchase from local and the same brand when traveling. I never buy the lowest-priced fuel I find and not from any other brands. I learned that lesson from my boss in Florida as he would buy the lowest-priced gas and always had misfire problems. he started using one brand of fuel from particular stations and the problem went away. he never varied his purchases from other stations and did not have fuel issues again.
We live in Rural Tennessee, I avoid Ethanol fuels due to consistency. Ethanol is hydrostatic and evaporates. So we use 93 marine no Ethanol. We see better fuel mileage and better oil life avoiding Ethanol entirely.
Good gas goes far!
Being in the business for decades i have seen a bad tank of fuel confuse and get a few good techs to mis-diag the symptoms.
Yeah I wish my Ford dealership mechanics were as thorough ...I have a 2016 Escape that had a wire cut on the right signal which I had them repair , which they caused in replacing a bulb why they didn't just splice the broken wire instead of cutting the good one to show me why the turn signal didn't work is infuriating to say the least , in doing so they had to remove the windshield washer reservoir . They didn't put it back in proper it wouldn't hold any fluid . Needless to say I've lost any faith their service dept . I've gone to another. Nondealership mechanic they don't call them stealerships for nothing . I have a 7 year extended warranty which so far has saved me zero dollars on repairs . The service manager never called them EVER
Very nice job with this one! I’ve heard everyone say that the 1.5 is a nightmare engine. I bought my 18 escape brand new, and aside from oil changes every 4,000 miles that little engine hasn’t needed a thing and it still runs like brand new. It’s at almost 100,000 miles. I must have got a good one. 🤷🏼♂️
i agree with you about fuel, i use shell 89 and 92 octane fuel only for about 3 years now, big difference
If they got water, call the dept of environment, they are getting water in their tank, or they got fuel when they were getting the tank refilled at the station.. They will have to lock that station down.
What you know about the burning small coming on hard Acceleration on 2017 Ford Explorer through the air vents.
Thanks for the video it helped me a lot ✌👍💯

My 2017 escape pulls back when i hit that gas to go. Not sure why. My engine light came on then off twice. I was told to wait until it came back on to check it out.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍You went well beyond on the scope of the job awesome because you’re conscientious Mechanic Falls people just want to get their hours you get paid or not take the extra effort as you did right now the person on the other enjoy their car and if they follow your recommendation if I should get many miles are on this vehicle

In the 2017 Escape 1.5 L EcoBoost that I purchased new the first engine lasted only till 34,000 miles and they have to be fully replaced under warranty. Ford has consistently had major problems with their EcoBoost engines across their entire line.
Ford makes unreliable vehicles and does not make it right with customers in many situations.
Good point on fuel if the company you buy fuel from hauls there own less chance of being water in the fuel great video
Bought a 1.5 17 fusion less than a week ago. I hear a slight tick at the top of the motor. 40k miles. Gonna take it to the dealership tomorrow still under warranty
Make sure you check out my videos in my library on what normal sounds are
Also look at your coolant reservoir make sure it's not low
Fuel quality is very important
Nice work. Coming pretty heavily from the outboard world, where engines commonly don't get used for several months at a time or longer, like a broken record I tell guys troubleshooting them that stale or contaminated gas has killed more boat engines than anything.
I'll admit, i don't immediately think of fuel when troubleshooting autos because they are usually used often. But yeah, junk gas will make the best run like the worst.
Which gas station brands have the best gas?
Most problems show up right after the rebuild.
My daughter has a 2017 Ford Escape Titanium. It's been in the shop several times for the transmission fault service now showed up on the instrument cluster.. It's been the shop 2 times. The first time, they put a new torque converter in. She got it back and drove it for 30 minutes and the transmission fault service now flashed on the instrument cluster. again. It went back to the shop they rebuilt the transmission. She got it back, drove it for a day and a half and the message short up again on the instrument. Do you think it could be the transmission control module? Or do you have any other ideas? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Wait, you don't dilute your fuel with water? At these prices we should all be diluting... lol (Joking obviously)
didn't we do water injection on motors before?
A friend of mine used to work for a local gas station that made her use an entire roll of paper towels to soak up the water leaking into the tanks every time there was a delivery. Needless to say water still got into the fuel and the place just didn't care.
That sucks, probably bad gasket on the lid let’s water in catch basin, I would bail water out with a styrofoam cup that way if it’s gas it would eat the cup then you could empty it by pulling the drain chain gas went into tank guys do that with water and that’s how it gets into fuel tanks
Great job!
Might recommend a locking gas cap to the customer?
I'm not sure if it matters which gas station you go to. I know that one offs are not the best. But if you've had good luck in the past with them then it shouldn't be a problem. 2 stories. Back in the 80's it was late on Sunday and I needed gas to get to work on Monday morning. The only station opened was a big change station. So I paid the extra and drove home. The next morning I start up the car and back out of the drive. It dies in the street. Roll it back in the drive on the starter. After the sun comes up. I find no fuel in the carb. Put a 60 watt light bulb in the fuel pump and go inside. Car starts up I put in a can of dry gas and drive the tank tills it's below half and refill at my usual station. The other story. Right next to the Ford dealer. Big chain gas station. Somehow diesel was put in the gas storage tanks. Dealer made a bunch of money cleaning fuel systems.
WOW simple bad fuel my dad always tells me watch where you get your gas from. This is something I always listen to and my sister doesn't. Good old fashioned common sense thanks 😊👍🏾
100% correct, you got it
Thats why I only go to a few well known fuel stations, that I know have great fuel quality. I'm always willing to pass a few of the small gas stations to get to a known better one. I know one of small gas stations in my town waters down their gas.
Which fuel to buy is as controversial as the infamous which type of oil to use. I’m in the same pew as you brudda when it comes to quality fuel. My girlfriend thinks I’m crazy buying name brand (Shell, BP, Exxon in that order preference) when she only fills up at Costco. Yes Costco sells gasoline that meets the minimum requirements thus the cheaper price. You get what you pay for. Besides, I sneak a bottle of Lucas fuel treatment in her cars tank after every fill up.
What could cause a crankshaft to snap all the sudden in this car.
This guy has ears like an MMA fighter! I would not want to make him mad! If he said he repaired it...I would say yes sir! It runs great!
Lol
In my late teens or early twenties even in the military we would actually put on fighting events even when we were over in Iraq we would fight each other just for the fun of it I'm talking no gloves no nothing just beat the living s*** out of each other and then mid-twenties I was like I can't live like that no more eventually something bad is really going to happen
Very little people know about top tier fuel stations, maybe that should be a video on its own for those who aren’t techs
Hi I have a 2019 focus 1.5 eco boost I’m dyslexic and hard at reading and understanding. Just want to know if this engine is any good it’s woz registered in 01/07/2019
This is why I'd rather have a natural aspirated engine vs any ecoboost. They just seem a bit over engineered. Am I correct?
Is it true that with 2013 ford taurus for you are having erratic fuel reading that best thing to use is the chevron with techron plus due to the corrosion on the sending unit journal on the fuel pump module? Cluster has been replaced due to the left screen going out as well as fuel pump module before warranty ran out.
It wouldn't hurt but once you get to the point where there's corrosion on the resistor board you're not going to get that off typically
What about 91 octane ??
The new Bronco sport has a 1.5 eco-boost engine. Think it's going to have the same coolant intrusion issue or is the problem fixed on newer blocks?
No so far they're really good
Hey Rich, If you were buying a F150 2WD truck that was 5-10 years old what engine would you be looking for for the most reliability. I have gotten 508,000 miles out of my old 2002 with a 4.2L with no major problems. I know none of the newer stuff will be that reliable, but I am looking for the most reliable one I can get.
6.2L up to 14 #1
5.0L #2
Or a 2v 4.6 F150
What's your opinion of the "ecoboost" engines? It seems that a direct injection/turbo charged small displacement engine would be susceptible to excessive wear and breakdown.
What you said
@@FordBossMe Thought so, thanks.
Lots of water in cheap fuel. The ethanol attracts water and then you've got a problem. Use good fuel and keep the tank 1/2 full or better. Add gas line anti freeze in winter to control water.
have you had a flywheel break yet? we just had a 2018 fusion 1.5 eco. it came in making a horrible noise. we couldn’t tell if it was top or bottom. so we pulled the oil pan of and saw the flywheel was in two pieces.
Yep I put a video up on 1 today sound like a rod knock or a wrist pain and then last week I did one as well
Would it be nessecary to throw a bottle of heet into it? I usually do that in winters because my car freezes solid outside. I usually stick to a main brand like shell or Sinclair which we got alot of here in the west. Also valero isnt half bad, anything less than that and it's not good fuel. My dads friend said in an emergency he gassed up with bargain fuel and his Mercedes didn't run right until he ran a tank of shell through it.
Could do that
@@FordBossMe is there a problem with using heet on modern engines with DI.
thats some great info
Is the 1.5 ecoboost that goes into the 2017 escape the exact same one that goes into the fusion?
Yes
