So you recommend the scanner and it will work on a Android phone? And then the free software works for the scanner?
I have been subscribed since 2013 wish scan tool was available then for now NO more fords
@@albduke Get the SVCI J2543. It's newer and better (way better) than the ELMxxx. FlyOBD. This also gives you factory ford software.
Forscan is amazing, but he was using Ford IDS in the video.
@@xnotx2 do you have a link for that I can't find it?
Excellent diagnostic. 👍
Who manufactured that phaser?
And which phaser do you recommend for replacement?
Great tip Brian 👍. Data, logic and analytical thinking wins everytime!
Happy seeing you here!
Welcome to Costco.
I love you.
♥️
I just came from your Corvette ign sw video to here. Hope you are learning stuff every day! I am, and I've been a tech for 53 years! (Now retired, but never too old to learn.)
You know you’ve made it big, when Eric O follows and comments!! 👍
This poor fella got tore up by a parts cannon. Unbelievable
Mississippi customer comes to Chicago. Much respect to you and your work!
I feel like somewhere there is a group of 5.4 V8 engineers who get drunk together and throw darts at your picture. Just a feeling is all.
Everytime a spark plug launches out of a cylinder head, somewhere in Dearborn, a Ford powertrain engineer gets his wings and a UAW pension. 👼🌠
@@WhitefolksT recently a spark plug flew out on my 07 Ford expedition
Man that truck is CLEAN
Take care of your truck and it will take care of you.
It looks like he didn't change the oil enough
@@Johnkb2059 Eh there’s no sludge so a bit of varnish is fine.
@@Johnkb2059 pcv side of the engine. Always varnished more
Brian, You own those 5.4L 3-valve engines!
Ford dealerships should require all of their technicians to watch your videos. Hats off to you Brian! You definitely stand out from the crowd. I definitely enjoy all the videos and information you provide. Just last night I watched your video on motorcraft coolants. My '12 Taurus needs to have the coolant changed and I couldn't understand why I couldn't find the Motorcraft orange coolant anyway except ebay which had crazy prices. I did find a technical bulletin from Ford explaining why they discontinued the orange coolant and to switch over to the yellow coolant. My initial thoughts were is it compatible with the orange coolant? Then it dawned on me to see if you made a video about the coolants. Low and behold I found your video explaining all of Ford coolants. After watching, it eased my mind and was nothing for me to worry about. I then watched your video on how you flush out a Ford's cooling system. I'm retired now and have 50+ yrs of automotive... mainly GM until I wised up and switched over to Ford...haha and have 25 yrs working on commercial aircraft. I still enjoy working on my cars for the limited knowledge I have on today's modern vehicles to a certain point. There's no need for me to invest in all the equipment and tools needed today to work on my vehicles so when I do need repairs done to the point that is way beyond my knowledge there is a Ford dealership I use that have some excellent technicians and have always been more than pleased with the work they preform. I watched your video on your new 2021 F150 and thought to myself the systems on today's vehicles are just about as complicated as systems on commercial aircraft. It's mind blowing for sure. If I lived anywhere close to you you'd without a doubt would be my go to technician. Keep the great videos coming.
Ford dealerships should be forced to fix these POS 5.4L engines at bo cost to the owners
Ford dealerships prefer to sell a new engine or a new truck.
Another great video Brian! You are definitely a master of the 5.4 3 valve.
These things feed his family 😂
That’s the true secret of being a mechanic. Study one specific car brand and open a shop for it. You will get people that went to the dealer for a quote and then right to you.
No Doubt! I bought an older Expedition for the sole reason of living close to him. Purposely bought a 5.4 because of the confidence I have with him working on these engines in my back yard!!!
@@maxmann8607 smart man, if you’re willing to put the money into it I’m sure Brian can keep that truck running forever lol
your the best Brian.....so many techs are just parts changer, throw something at it till its fixed..the ability to understand the data the scan tool gives you and trouble shoot makes a great tech
This dude is the GOAT when it comes to this 5.4L 3v engines. His videos helped me a lot... thank you sir!!
Thank you for the very clear explanation. I am not a mechanic so the more detailed your explanation the better it is for me. And that was a great educational video.
Ford should have you make videos for them to distribute to ALL their techs for recurrent training. We did this in the military and it worked very well and all of us were updated with the most current information.
I have been working on fuel injected cars for many many years. I have preached to all the youngsters to learn to properly diagnose with a good scan tool and learn to read live data. You Sir are a darn fine diagnostician and I salute you.
You need to make training videos and sell them. You deserve it. Way to go Ford Tech.
This is the informational/training movie and its free!
You Sir go the extra mile to make sure your customers are getting what they pay for.
That is a rarity in these times.
Thank You for your integrity and willingness to share with other techs your hard earned knowledge.
I have an '06 F150 with the 5.4 3v. It has 312,000 miles on the original timing set. Lol it's almost time for an overhaul, but still runs very well!
Don't touch till it breaks
What oil and filter do you use
@@lyleswavel320 Use the Valvoline High Mileage and Wix filters. Change it every three months whether it needs it or not.
I just want to uproot and move close to Brian so my truck will be in the best hands..
Who's with me??
Sold my 5.4 3v long ago but I still come back because your methods are amazing and can apply to so many other cars. Cheers!
Thank you respectibile Ford technician. 1 of your other 3V 5.4L video's i took a picture of the title of the video to help me to fix my 3V phaser tuning!
So glad you fixed this for the guy in MS he was in the comments a few videos back and that's a beautiful truck with that kind of mileage. Great analysis, too.
Great job as always Brian! You’re the best at keeping it simple and comprehensible for us knuckleheads!
happy to see a mechanic i can trust because i own a 5.4 3v and your advice has saved me big money thank you very much brian
Great analytical diagnosis. I have learned a thing or two from you. Thanks for another great video!
Man, I wish there was a Ford Tech with your knowledge here in Laredo, Tx
Anywhere in thw US.
The mechanic doesn't have to be a "Ford tech. " He or she has to have knowledge.
People wouldn't want to pay what he would charge
@@royalblood2405 if it’s fixed right the first time. It’s worth it !
@@robertwestover2125 Very true, but most people think in terms of what they can get cheapest, not what's going to work the best.
Excellent help in teaching sir; as Diy'er, I appreciate the help.great video. Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Brian you are the best! This guy lets technology fix the problem not just guessing!
I have watched a lot of your videos on the 5.4 3V engine and it seems like they are terrible motors! I have a 2004 F150 with the 5.4, it looks like I should sale or trade it ASAP before I have any major problems. I bought the truck about 4 years ago and it had 247,000 miles on it, it now has 251, 000 miles. The truck was neglected when bought it so I have replaced all the front end from ball joints on, brakes and so forth. I have replaced Starter, alternator, and many other parts with the help from your videos. Thanks for making theses videos so people like me can do our own work and save a lot of money. P.S: from watching your video on the number seven rocker that sounds like my next task because I have had a tapping noise ever since I bought the truck.
Troubleshooting and finding the root cause is a list art! Thanks for your sharing knowledge!! 👍🏼👍🏼
Analytics and thorough! Always a pleasure to watch. It's like watching Peyton Manning analyze film.
Sadly, I bet the vast majority of mechanics either don't use/don't know how to use this kind of equipment to it's full potential to save them from throwing parts at the problem. Technology is great but you have to know how to use it which is easier said then done!
I keep finding old videos you did useful
I have a Lincoln Mark LT with over 300,000 miles on it. Your chanel has been very helpful. You have diagnosed all my problems perfectly. I wish you were located near Louisiana. I would send it to you for all my truck's maintenance needs.
Another proper diagnosis and repair your mechanical ⚙️ knowledge and experience is amazing 👍
Great job Brian, it's good you know the 5.4 3V, the information, & data is there, but in some shops either don't
have the right scan tools, don't know how to use them, they turn to throwing wrong parts at them.
Im having same problem on friend truck of misfire at idle and you just saved me a lot of HEADACHE, THANK YOU FOR INFO. Daytona beach Florida
I have always done all of my own mechanic work, however if I lived closer to this guy I sure would bring my vehicles to him and trust that process!
FordTech-FiveFourThree-MakeU-Rich-O 💪🏼👏🏻
Bravo, Brian. You make it look simple.
Another insightful video, thanks for all you do for these 5.4s!
Awesome diag Brian as always! Thanks for posting!
I've seen the timing chain skip on a V6 twin turbo but not the 5.4 nice job carry on my man it's nice to see someone that checks all the options first good for you thanks
Another great repair, Brian!
Nice work Brian! Great learning experience.
The main reason I like to do my own work because most shops are just parts changers.
Unfortunately that is a fact my friend. I’ve been at the same shop for over 10 years now and you would be amazed at how many other shops in the area just launch parts at a car and then give up and send it to our shop. And I’m by no means saying I’m a master diagnostic expert however I do know how to use logic and reason while searching for a problem and I’m certainly not just going to wing parts at a car. Our shop has quite a few used car lots that come to us as well because they buy cars from auction and then them fixed before selling them and a lot of other shops in the area see a used car lot and they won’t even bother diagnosing the car and they’ll just throw parts at their cars and it ends up costing the car lots tons of wasted money so they’ve now realized how much money they can save on wasted parts by bringing it to us and having it fixed right the first time lol.
Good job grasshopper you did right
content so good its shocking we get it for free
He earns more if you watch the commercials and Like the videos. Best thing to do is let the opening commercial run to the end while browsing the comments, then watch the video. Takes a minute longer but TH-cam pays Brian more if people watch the videos, etc. So you can "say thanks and give back" that way and it's painless - you're gonna watch the whole video anyway.
Always great understandable information i always catch your video we have a fleet of fords that we take care of your information always spot on
This guy knows his fords.
Nice diagnosis. I did have a Phaser gernade. When it backfired, it blew the bottom off the intake. Didn't go any further. Owner said put a reman in it.
Runs smooth for that amount of mileage! Great job
SUMMARY: Some mechanics are not really very good ones...more like scatter shot parts and labor grifters...like clocks, right twice a day. Nice work FTM!
You have a gift...mechanical common sense! God Bless
I'm totally bringing you my 2004 f150!
Awesome video sir. You are the 5.4 magician.
Thank you for all the info you share.
Man you are a savior!!!!!!! Thanks so much so many mis leading people and you are spot on
I keep learning from you/ thanks!! I am jupitermustangmike/ I rebuilt my 4.6 3valve stang / new crank / a timing chain guide wore out and a metal bushing went under left chain and sent timing out and bent a con rod!!! I put ratchet chain tensioners/I put lockouts in the phasers / I really need that scanner and your brain ! HaHHa thanks for your vids/ I will get it right eventually / my motor rebuild is 2 years old so it was a success on my utube channel/ thanks again / you are a master mechanic/ be proud of yourself/ I am very impressed 🐎🐎🐎🌴🌴🌴
My 2009 f-150 isn’t that clean, but I did my timing job at 214000, it started making noise around 210000. Maintenance is key one these engines!! I’m glad I could save money with your walk through
Same here. Made my changeout around 212K using his video's and buying authentic Motorcraft replacement parts. Have 245K now and still runs great.
You are a smart cookie . Feel bad for the guy that took it to a parts changer .
Ford Dealerships should make their techs subscribe to your channel.
In God we trust, all others bring data. Nice, logical, well explained approach. Thx Brian!
You re amazing mechanic Bro
Very interesting video as always. Thanks for posting.
Man you are the best! Thanks for all the videos
Nice work! Thanks for the education
Thank you i had narrowed down my issue to this already but you explained it in such simple yet detailed terms. I just need a fair quote estimate now there are shops quoting me around 14+ hours and $4,000 for this timing component replacement job. Does that sound right? The 2005 truck is only worth about 6k right now and they ALL do this around 190,000 miles!
This video is a good example of why I watch your videos and subscribe to your channel Brian. I Have a 2006 expedition and like to know what’s going on with that and what to watch for Plus what to do maintenance wise. Thank you :-)
Difference between a Tech and a Tech with a good mechanical knowledge !
you own the 5.4 3valves. great video
I have been following you for years now and like to thank you for all you have taught me alot. Is there a way I can communicate directly.
You are a true Professional !!!
Your a great detective 🕵️♀️
An excellent video. Thank you!
Damn what I wouldn't give to have you near oklahoma! I love my old 2006 f150. Am dreading the day I begin to have trouble with my phasers. Thank you for all the info!
I got a 06 5.4 3v too. Intermittent ruff idle 156k miles. No codes read on obd. This may be my issue. I’m getting that scanner. And ordering oem timing kit and melling pump. Great videos
I agree. Let me know if you find a good shop that can do this in Oklahoma. I need mine done as well.
Another Great presentation
Well Done
When u do the timing jobs, do u do it non stop, or do u tear apart one day and put together the next? U do so many, u must have a total system. I love the channel and never miss a vid. Thank u for your hard work!!!
Timing sets on the 5.4, 3.5 turbo, and 3.5 naturally aspirated engines can all be done in a day usually 7-8 hours.
I finish them in one day and Q.C. the next morning.
just an insanely good mechanic
thanks for another awesome video. your tips on these fords are invaluable. you make my diag time much shorter
Hi Brian I know it’s another great video have a blessed weekend bro…
i'm a mechanic, work on police vehicles & all borough equipment. this guy is good, helps with some of those little & so hard to find troubles. subscribe, really does have some good things to tell you
Love watching your video, keep up the good work. 👍
Man these 5.4 seem like such a good engine to learn stuff on. Can't wait to dig into mine
The answer is yes on that but the answer should be no. I bought someone that first car it's a 5.4 2v.
Great video lots of information.
Great job and video like always
Tech to tech I love your videos.
Proof that diagnostic skills matter. Had a suburban come in that another shop tried to repair for lean code on both banks and both sensor 1 o2 sensors. Smoked it and both runners of intake from front to back were leaking the worst I have ever seen .
My friend you are the best keep up the good work thank you thank you thank you
Watched because my 2000 F-150 with the two valve 5.4 Triton was showing a lean condition and adding 20-25% fuel trim. The intake was warped, confirmed with the propane test, so I replaced it and also replaced the coils and plugs, EGR, PCV valve and hose, injector o-rings and vacuum lines and cleaned the mass airflow sensor while it was apart. It still gave lean codes so I smoke tested it and it passed. Took it to an independent shop that would actually listen to me and what I had done. I worked on general aviation aircraft at one time and built two street rods so the skills were there. We all agreed that it ~looked~ like a vacuum leak on the diagnostics but I told the shop owner that I really believed it was a sensor somewhere; I just didn't have the experience or resources to verify that. They checked the O2 sensors first and then found that the MAF sensor was sending bad data. Their diagnostics weren't cheap but the problem was fixed. There is no telling what a dealership might have "diagnosed" and how much it would have cost.
I have no desire to own a later style Ford engine. The F-150 is just used for hauling things, 2000-3000 miles/year that won't fit in a car or SUV so it should last me another 10-20 years.
Great job as always.
AAA Tech here. Great job
you sir are a maestro.
Awesome clean motor I wish mine look like that
Always like the intro, Game of thrones-sounding!
Great work!
Very nice information, blessings
Great Job Man! 👍
He's the reason why I switched oils still motorcraft with a motorcraft filter 820 s truck still runs good no more ticking I replaced both exhaust manifolds
You just know your stuff, awesome videos,thanks man,I wished I was close enough to your shop to have my 05 5.4 3v . I'm not sure who to trust here,there are so many crooks,and the rest just don't have the knowledge that you obviously have!
The best way I've found is to get experience and Do it yourself🤷♂️
I could sure use your expertise out here in the Philadelphia suburb area. My 2010 5.4 lariat once I step on in slightly with pressure the truck starts to shake until I let off the pedal a little.
Dude… you are the man!!!
I think people need to respect the craft of true mechanics vs part swappers who can only read codes. Both are needed but a true mechanic can actually uncover issues like we see in this video that take true understanding of how vehicles work to uncover.
You are really good.
