Woooooo yeah buddy! This was just a stroke of luck. That phone call was the best of the week. Auction cars are always a huge gamble but for what I paid I knew it would part out well. Intuition and experience told me there was more to the story, and wasn’t a flood. Instead, we’re still scratching our heads! When a big storm hits, there’s never enough adjusters to physically look at every vehicle to confirm damage and often flood vehicles don’t have a visual indicator right away like mold. So the insurance companies look at the area the vehicle was located and similar claims and will write it off, set up towing and cut a check without ever seeing the vehicle in person. Thanks buddy!

Something happened. Maybe that one commenter was right, and some detectives will show up with a warrant and a tow truck.
@@RainmanRaysRepairs not sure if a tow truck would show up for it or really hope it wouldn't, at the end of day the insurance company got some kind of payday from eric buying it and if your guess is correct and it is insurance fraud my guess is they will take the difference out of the hide of the old owner

36:47 Standard practice from the insurance company, if your car dies in or shortly after a hurricane? Or are so many claims coming in that the insurance adjuster just can't actually look at all of them?
On earlier Fords you don't need Forscan to program keys. You can use a eeries of switching the ignition off and on and then pressing the buttons on the keys to register them
My Ford explorer used a version of PATS that was programmed thru the instrument cluster. The keys themselves have a transponder chip in them that does not have an internal battery. The chip is read by a receiver around the lock cylinder and sends a signal to the instrument cluster. You have to have a scan tool that can reprogram Ford transponder keys. You need a minimum of 2 keys. The keys you make at a kiosk only clone the key you have, and the instrument cluster will not be able to tell the difference between the original key and the copy. So if you lost 1 of the original keys and used the second to make a copy of the second it will count it as 1 key.
Not likely the examiner was in on it for that crap heap. It's was clearly out in the storm from physical damage they probably had so many assessments to make they just assumed. The physical damage would've written it off anyway. No fraud here just over worked assessors and probably making assumptions. Also that assessment passed on could be Chinese whispers and not official
Good morning ray! Youre a massive inspiration for me and so many others. You, junkyard digs and vice grip garage were the biggest reasons i got so into cars
RAY keeps it fresh. SO tired of JYD same old - brakes and ads. And VGG is same. Find a car that will run with little work, do a tune up and drive it home. NNKH is way better.
I love FORScan, but it does have some quirks. 1: I use the beta version (current revision is 2.4.15 as of now) 2: those keys require two different programming sequences because the keys are considered two separate pieces. One is the chip, the other is the keyless entry. You first do the chip key, then do the keyless entry. It’s two separate functions. Great find, I have been into the Copart game only in the last 3 years and you have to be careful. I’ll bet the water line is just super low and they wrote it off because they didn’t want to take a chance.

I worked in a paint car shop from twenty two to twenty seven years old. My duty was to prepare the vehicle to be painted, cleaning inside and out. Ive learned a few things about the paint and varnish overcoat. The closer the owner lives near salt water (a river or an ocean) the more evidence you get. Salt always leaves a trail on the lower side of the doors and if not cleaned, it will start eating away the overcoat. Always look for pealing like dandruff flakes. It's a sure giveaway.
@@00recon The Thames is one of those. Up to London. I think the Severn up to Shrewsbury, I'm not sure about that though, it seems too far.But it can flood one hell of a long way up. It is always East coast of everywhere in the Northern Hemisphere.
Paul, not only for those who live near salt water ways, but those of us who live in areas, not near any ocean, but with snow conditions. Roads are salted all the time and just like you say, you can see the white salt line along the runners of vehicles. That's why it's a good idea to do a car wash after the roads are clear again. But one of the washes that spray up from UNDER to clean the bottom floor and wheel wells too.
As a recipient of a check from state farm it's not just if it's fixable it's the cost to fix vs the worth of the vehicle...all what was wrong on my car was the deer took out the fog light and the turbo had a hole in it 😂...not sure if the oil pan was ruptured
Ford exterior lights typically stay on while doors and such are open, so you can see where you're going. An FX4 typically has puddle lights on the mirrors as well. I know this confuses you GM & RAM truck guys, but the lights being on are normal. They will go out 10-30 seconds after you close the doors.
I’m guessing they removed the passenger running board on purpose to allow front end loader to move it around. And that’s what dented fuel tank skid plate and what broke exhaust
Yeah, probably right. It wasn't running. After the storm they called the adjuster and they wrote it off thinking some of the electrics were fried. I have heard of people in my town taking a hammer to their car after a hail storm to create hail damage. The adjusters had a way to figure that out. I bought a land rover disco II for my son that was in Sandy. Needed a battery, starter and I had to pull the trans module under the seat and clean up the pins. Water was only a couple inches inside. Changed all the fluids. He still drives it 10 years later no issues.
Or maybe someone even took a cheap spare Ford key from Wish and popped it in the car just to pull a fast one on the insurance on purpose saying it's a "non runner".
Having worked at an auction and been friends with the mobile locksmith, I found it takes 45-60 minutes to go through all the reprogramming procedures. PATS is a major pain! Coding PATS is seperate from remote actions. Exhaust looked like it was leaning against the driveshaft when you were underneath.
I retired as an auto adjuster for a major insurance company. We did not screw around with seawater flooding. The consequences of salt water intrusion was so insideous that if there was a question, it went to Copart.

@@josephmartin7673 Baking soda and water mixture to clean the bottom of the chassis works wonder to halt rust intrusion. And it's a whole lot cheaper than a whole new/used vehicle.
I was at the edge of my seat with this one. Awesome! Eric got himself a damn nice ride. Happy thanksgiving to Ray and crew and everyone in the rainman rays community. Be safe.
I don’t think it was insurance fraud. When you showed underneath especially the front all that white residue is a key identifier from the Salt that dries and leave it. And any insurance company would’ve totaled that even if the water didn’t get in, for them they can’t guarantee that the vehicle would be fine a year from now. I bet the diff/ transmission was underwater. The insurance would’ve have just towed it to the auction. The auction would’ve have them detailed if they were bad enough to have standing water in them. I work at a salvage auction and saw that all the times over the last two months.
I'm sure Ray knows that. He's just explaining what he thinks actually happened. For insurance fraud to be prosecuted though the insurance company would need to be able to prove everything Ray just said. Which they most likely can't. I do believe what Ray said is what actually happened, but there is no way to prove it.
@@bion247 I don't think he does. Ray seems genuinely convinced it was fraud. At one point, he lifts the air filter out and goes "there's no water in here, this is definitely fraud" why? Vehicles that are flooded would only have water in the air filter if the vehicle was running, and it actually sucked water in. The water line was a full foot below that air-box. Ray seems entirely convinced it was fraud because he can tell the wheels have done a burnout before, which is just a completely moronic assumption, and then completely ignores all the other signes of flood damage - like the inches of salt degradation underneath the water line. Insurance adjusters aren't idiots, they're looking to not pay out. If there was even an inch of doubt that it wasn't a legitimate claim, they would've called the customer out on it and refused to pay.
I'm sure the insurance adjuster was just as miserable with this owner as one's that I have dealt with !! They are always on the insurance company side !!
This is the owners manual procedure Programming remote transmitters It is necessary to have all (maximum of four - original and/or new) of your remote transmitters available prior to beginning this procedure. To program the transmitters yourself: ² Place the key in the ignition and turn from 2 (LOCK) to 3 (OFF) and cycle between 3 (OFF) and 4(ON) eight times in rapid succession (within 10 seconds) with the eighth turn ending in the 4 (ON) position. The doors will lock/unlock to confirm that programming mode has been entered. ² Within 20 seconds, program a remote transmitter by pressing any button on a transmitter. The doors will lock/unlock to confirm that the remote transmitter has been programmed. (If more than 20 seconds pass before pressing a remote transmitter button, the programming mode will exit and the procedure will have to be repeated.) ² Repeat the previous step to program additional remote transmitters. The doors will lock/unlock to confirm that each remote transmitter has been programmed. ² When you have completed programming the remote transmitters, turn the ignition to 3 (OFF). Again the doors will lock/unlock to confirm programming has been completed.
Programming the door locks on a Ford is easy. Just turn the ignition on and off eight cycles, the oush the buttons on the key fob(s). That programs the remote.
The trucks owners manual should have the code for the door pad. I can't remember if it was on its own separate card, or in the manual itself. It's one of my favorite features on Ford's. It's handy for warming up you car in the morning. You can lock/ unlock the door with it running
My wife is constantly talking to me while I’m getting my daily dose of Rainman Ray. I can’t hear a word she’s saying. Thanks Ray, you’re my favorite site on TH-cam.
Seems a bit to clean for a Flood Vehicle where the water line marking on the door looks lower then the Actual interior Floor Board Ray 4:12 @Rainman Ray's Repairs
I do cars Im interesting in the Truck I could use another Service truck for my automotive business in az what you want for the Rig 37:44 @I do Cars @Rainman Ray's Repairs
During Ian the water came up just enough to creep in my wife's car. It was no more than 3-4 inches of the floor board, but the ECU was submerged since it was located under the seat. I vacuumed the water out of it as soon as I could. A few days later i started it up and it ran like always. It still was considered a total loss by the insurance adjuster due to the fact that the ECU was under water and the possibility of corrosion of electrical connections in the future. The car was only 2 years old at the time.
Just reflow those solder joints-preheat the oven to 200°C, pop the board in for about 8 minutes, and let it cool down gradually. (if you don't have a rework station)
Not necessarily that simple as the corrosion will destroy pads, vias and components. You can't see under bga parts to even tell. Realistically you need to ultrasonic ally clean the boards in alcohol to ensure all water is gone and clean the board up. Reflowing isn't the first step
Fraud is highly unlikely... insurance adjusters are paper pushers with minimal auto knowledge, they DO, however, know WHERE there was water coupled with the fact that it is the ADJUSTER who makes the determination, NOT the property owner. So how this MISTAKE was made is easy to unravel... truck works... event occurs... other recent related damage occurs... truck no longer works... adjuster ASSUMES water damage due to visual clues in the immediate area and writes it off because they have a dozen more to do that day and the corporation is more interested in CUSTOMER SERVICE at the moment as they DO NOT WANT TO LOSE CUSTOMERS dragging their feet... while they lose $5000 on a mistake, they KEEP $100K or more coming in over time because they did not piss off a few other people. This is just the way they do business after a disaster because in the long run it minimizes total losses.

Wow dont seem like any damage froma flood and the modules are all clean but the Key is programed wrong Kind of fishy Basically nothing wrong with the truck other then the brake switch and the exhaust hmmm Ray i agree seems like fraud 14:39 @Rainman Ray's Repairs
Dude, I live by the Tampa Copart and since the hurricanes that place has been jumping. They even have the Sheriff’s office doing night security. I’ve been working at a tax collectors office and hear from the clients that they need their titles (which a lot were lost in the storms) for the ins. Agents. The agents are overwhelmed so probably just rubber stamping. And cars are being auctioned off within days.
This is one thing I like about GM cars, you can program a extra key without a computer. Just used the current key to turn on the ignition, then off and within a few seconds, put the extra key in, turn on and wait. It programs it automatically.
It will still have a flood title so it will need to be reinspected and it lost all the resale value. If he keeps it himself it will be a great truck for a decade or more
As a Ford tech, I’ve found sometimes aftermarket keys have an issue with locking and unlocking the vehicle. At the dealership we were usually unable to program aftermarket keys to lock or unlock vehicles after successfully programming
@christopherkidwell9817 not really any kind of games. But when we order the key fobs off of the Rotunda site, there are cheaper options for the same ones, and they are aftermarket versions. Not every single aftermarket version is bad, but there are certain ones that will either not program or will fail to lock/unlock the doors with the remote function. I yelled at our parts department a lot because of this. Anytime I do keys now, I force them to give me OEM keys
Ray I wouldn’t call fraud. Here in North Carolina especially in the coastal areas, in recent years after major storms, the insurance companies will total loss vehicles in the condition that you are finding in this truck. The insurance companies have concluded that on the newer vehicles with crazy amounts of electronics regardless of the near storm inspection, that problems will most likely start to be an issue in the near future. They are as concerned about failures happening that results in serious accidents that could cause them to have a major payoff that well exceeds the amount that they would pay to just claim a total loss in the present situation. Of course the owner could buy the vehicle back from the insurance company and make repairs as needed, but the title will be flagged as a salvage vehicle. At least this is what my agent told me when I insured my dad’s truck when he passed away. That truck never had any frame damage but was in 2 accidents. It was all just bolt on sheet metal and a bed replacement and paint. But it was still totaled because repairs exceeded the current resale value. It’s 24 years old with only 90k on it. Repairs and future liability are the main factors. Once the insurance company pays there is no fraud because it is their decision and they assume the responsibility from that point.
Whether it’s a STI Tactical 4.0, the 2019 Staccato P or the Staccato P Heritage, 4.15” 2011 FTW! 🙌🏻 FYI, the LFA Apollo 11 Compact is an exact copy of the 4.15” P also. I got one to check out and it’s run great so far.
Something is definitely going on with these "flood" vehicles. A local tow truck company called us to make a key for an almost mint late model low mileage VW they bought at auction due to flooding. There is zero evidence of any water damage. The car started right up and runs great. Key's don't "lose" programming. I tell customers this everyday. They call to get their keys "reprogrammed". No such thing. A working transponder key/fob can still start a vehicle even without a battery. The battery is for the buttons. Now keys can break physically or the electronics can break and stop working. Sometimes it's the immo on the car side that's the issue. Ray invest in a new scan tool that has immo function. I suggest an Autel 508 mostly for key programming or even better an Autel 608 which is a full function scan tool with key programming. We have both. There are better key programmers like a Advanced Diagnostics Smart Pro but that's way more money and way overkill for the occasional key programming. I would go with one of the Autels.
When there is a major event and a ton of claims, the adjuster is not necessarily affiliated with the insurance company. They hire independent contractors to clear as many claims as quickly as possible. This drives customer satisfaction, but also they themselves are eager to know how much said event will cost them so they can plan on jacking your rates.
I once bought a Ford 7 seater, and the only key it had was missing it's internal chip. The car drove alright, but not all functions were working. Had to lock the doors manually. New key and programming it was too much. Sold the car very soon after because the bottom side was in a horrible state and repairing it would cost triple the amount which I bought it for.
I'd just do an add a key in pats and see if it recognizes it first. I am surprised the Apollo won't do a PATS programming. a $500 Launch Diagun V will.
I noticed while you were doing the inspection under the truck that the muffler was contacting the drive shaft by the marking on it. When you did the test drive and mentioned the noise I knew what it was. Your later video of the muffler contacting the drive shaft proved to be a correct assumption. Hope it didn't damage it by trying to cut it in half. Good video as always.

@@josephmartin7673 Baking soda and water mixture to clean the bottom of the chassis works wonder to halt rust intrusion. And it's a whole lot cheaper than a whole new/used vehicle.
We first pull floor pan body plugs. Out of state cars and cars with sunroofs. No smell in car but 10 gallons of water laying on the pan...
I was at the edge of my seat with this one. Awesome! Eric got himself a damn nice ride. Happy thanksgiving to Ray and crew and everyone in the rainman rays community. Be safe.
I don't believe water after he was just in the first side.
@tlak definitely not water
I’ve seen a video of him doing an orange Escalade EXT, that thing was a marine!!
I don’t think it was insurance fraud. When you showed underneath especially the front all that white residue is a key identifier from the Salt that dries and leave it. And any insurance company would’ve totaled that even if the water didn’t get in, for them they can’t guarantee that the vehicle would be fine a year from now. I bet the diff/ transmission was underwater. The insurance would’ve have just towed it to the auction. The auction would’ve have them detailed if they were bad enough to have standing water in them. I work at a salvage auction and saw that all the times over the last two months.
I'm sure Ray knows that. He's just explaining what he thinks actually happened. For insurance fraud to be prosecuted though the insurance company would need to be able to prove everything Ray just said. Which they most likely can't. I do believe what Ray said is what actually happened, but there is no way to prove it.
I doubt it was anything to do with fraud of any kind regardless
@@bion247 I don't think he does. Ray seems genuinely convinced it was fraud. At one point, he lifts the air filter out and goes "there's no water in here, this is definitely fraud" why? Vehicles that are flooded would only have water in the air filter if the vehicle was running, and it actually sucked water in. The water line was a full foot below that air-box. Ray seems entirely convinced it was fraud because he can tell the wheels have done a burnout before, which is just a completely moronic assumption, and then completely ignores all the other signes of flood damage - like the inches of salt degradation underneath the water line. Insurance adjusters aren't idiots, they're looking to not pay out. If there was even an inch of doubt that it wasn't a legitimate claim, they would've called the customer out on it and refused to pay.
I'm sure the insurance adjuster was just as miserable with this owner as one's that I have dealt with !! They are always on the insurance company side !!
I wish I could find one like that!
Happy Thanksgiving to The Rainman, The Wife Unit and their family.
Eric scored big on this. Hope you and your family have a great thanksgiving
Great video as always Ray 43:20 @Rainman Ray's Repairs
This is the owners manual procedure Programming remote transmitters
It is necessary to have all (maximum of four - original and/or new) of
your remote transmitters available prior to beginning this procedure.
To program the transmitters yourself:
² Place the key in the ignition and
turn from 2 (LOCK) to 3 (OFF)
and cycle between 3 (OFF) and
4(ON) eight times in rapid
succession (within 10 seconds)
with the eighth turn ending in the
4 (ON) position. The doors will
lock/unlock to confirm that
programming mode has been
entered.
² Within 20 seconds, program a
remote transmitter by pressing any button on a transmitter. The doors
will lock/unlock to confirm that the remote transmitter has been
programmed. (If more than 20 seconds pass before pressing a remote
transmitter button, the programming mode will exit and the procedure
will have to be repeated.)
² Repeat the previous step to program additional remote transmitters.
The doors will lock/unlock to confirm that each remote transmitter has
been programmed.
² When you have completed programming the remote transmitters, turn
the ignition to 3 (OFF). Again the doors will lock/unlock to confirm
programming has been completed.
The door sound you copied reminded me of the old shop phone you used to do lol.
You are one smart guy to be able to do all this stuff. Great video !
Security 🙄. I really love my 53 year old Chevy!
Programming the door locks on a Ford is easy. Just turn the ignition on and off eight cycles, the oush the buttons on the key fob(s). That programs the remote.
Wow, what a snazzy laptop, it's like a Christmas tree.
Good Morning Ray, wishing you and your family Happy and safe Thanksgiving. Thanks for sharing all the video content you produce.
Love the drive you have to find the path through the software hell.

The trucks owners manual should have the code for the door pad. I can't remember if it was on its own separate card, or in the manual itself. It's one of my favorite features on Ford's. It's handy for warming up you car in the morning. You can lock/ unlock the door with it running
My wife is constantly talking to me while I’m getting my daily dose of Rainman Ray. I can’t hear a word she’s saying. Thanks Ray, you’re my favorite site on TH-cam.
I got some high quality headphones that almost totally cancel outside noise while I watch the Rainman.

Seems a bit to clean for a Flood Vehicle where the water line marking on the door looks lower then the Actual interior Floor Board Ray 4:12 @Rainman Ray's Repairs
Eric got a deal there !!
I do cars Im interesting in the Truck I could use another Service truck for my automotive business in az what you want for the Rig 37:44 @I do Cars @Rainman Ray's Repairs
about the 17 minute mark, I would first check the battery of the key.
During Ian the water came up just enough to creep in my wife's car. It was no more than 3-4 inches of the floor board, but the ECU was submerged since it was located under the seat. I vacuumed the water out of it as soon as I could. A few days later i started it up and it ran like always. It still was considered a total loss by the insurance adjuster due to the fact that the ECU was under water and the possibility of corrosion of electrical connections in the future. The car was only 2 years old at the time.
Just reflow those solder joints-preheat the oven to 200°C, pop the board in for about 8 minutes, and let it cool down gradually. (if you don't have a rework station)
Not necessarily that simple as the corrosion will destroy pads, vias and components. You can't see under bga parts to even tell.
Realistically you need to ultrasonic ally clean the boards in alcohol to ensure all water is gone and clean the board up. Reflowing isn't the first step
The brake switch often is required to activate starter
Fraud is highly unlikely... insurance adjusters are paper pushers with minimal auto knowledge, they DO, however, know WHERE there was water coupled with the fact that it is the ADJUSTER who makes the determination, NOT the property owner.
So how this MISTAKE was made is easy to unravel... truck works... event occurs... other recent related damage occurs... truck no longer works... adjuster ASSUMES water damage due to visual clues in the immediate area and writes it off because they have a dozen more to do that day and the corporation is more interested in CUSTOMER SERVICE at the moment as they DO NOT WANT TO LOSE CUSTOMERS dragging their feet... while they lose $5000 on a mistake, they KEEP $100K or more coming in over time because they did not piss off a few other people. This is just the way they do business after a disaster because in the long run it minimizes total losses.
The LED on the front of your laptop, is that an add on? Looks really cool! Also, camera shot underneath while rolling was genius. Great content.
It’s a gaming laptop from Costco, the graphics card is hot rodded. Usually gaming computes will be loaded with lights. I own it for the storage & processing, the lights are a bonus bc they look cool 😎
Battery in the key fob is dead.
Wow dont seem like any damage froma flood and the modules are all clean but the Key is programed wrong Kind of fishy Basically nothing wrong with the truck other then the brake switch and the exhaust hmmm Ray i agree seems like fraud 14:39 @Rainman Ray's Repairs
Dude, I live by the Tampa Copart and since the hurricanes that place has been jumping. They even have the Sheriff’s office doing night security. I’ve been working at a tax collectors office and hear from the clients that they need their titles (which a lot were lost in the storms) for the ins. Agents. The agents are overwhelmed so probably just rubber stamping. And cars are being auctioned off within days.
This will be bad for people looking to buy a car somewhere out of the flood aeras !!!
This is one thing I like about GM cars, you can program a extra key without a computer. Just used the current key to turn on the ignition, then off and within a few seconds, put the extra key in, turn on and wait. It programs it automatically.
Love the video. I like tools like this that allow users to do more with their vehicles.
It will still have a flood title so it will need to be reinspected and it lost all the resale value. If he keeps it himself it will be a great truck for a decade or more
As a Ford tech, I’ve found sometimes aftermarket keys have an issue with locking and unlocking the vehicle. At the dealership we were usually unable to program aftermarket keys to lock or unlock vehicles after successfully programming
I've never seen that and if true, that sounds like Ford playing games with the aftermarket keys.
@christopherkidwell9817 not really any kind of games. But when we order the key fobs off of the Rotunda site, there are cheaper options for the same ones, and they are aftermarket versions. Not every single aftermarket version is bad, but there are certain ones that will either not program or will fail to lock/unlock the doors with the remote function. I yelled at our parts department a lot because of this. Anytime I do keys now, I force them to give me OEM keys
Correction. Compressor is compressing and Alternator is ‘Nating’.
Ray. The vehicle is a write off! The Oil Filler cap is upside down.
The 710 cap?
TOTAL IT, it has the dreaded 710 cover, where a proper OIL cover belongs.... that ruins engines!
Foreskin is super handy! It is one reason I’ll keep buying Fords
Ray I wouldn’t call fraud. Here in North Carolina especially in the coastal areas, in recent years after major storms, the insurance companies will total loss vehicles in the condition that you are finding in this truck. The insurance companies have concluded that on the newer vehicles with crazy amounts of electronics regardless of the near storm inspection, that problems will most likely start to be an issue in the near future. They are as concerned about failures happening that results in serious accidents that could cause them to have a major payoff that well exceeds the amount that they would pay to just claim a total loss in the present situation. Of course the owner could buy the vehicle back from the insurance company and make repairs as needed, but the title will be flagged as a salvage vehicle. At least this is what my agent told me when I insured my dad’s truck when he passed away. That truck never had any frame damage but was in 2 accidents. It was all just bolt on sheet metal and a bed replacement and paint. But it was still totaled because repairs exceeded the current resale value. It’s 24 years old with only 90k on it. Repairs and future liability are the main factors. Once the insurance company pays there is no fraud because it is their decision and they assume the responsibility from that point.
Whether it’s a STI Tactical 4.0, the 2019 Staccato P or the Staccato P Heritage, 4.15” 2011 FTW! 🙌🏻
FYI, the LFA Apollo 11 Compact is an exact copy of the 4.15” P also. I got one to check out and it’s run great so far.
Something is definitely going on with these "flood" vehicles. A local tow truck company called us to make a key for an almost mint late model low mileage VW they bought at auction due to flooding. There is zero evidence of any water damage. The car started right up and runs great.
Key's don't "lose" programming. I tell customers this everyday. They call to get their keys "reprogrammed". No such thing. A working transponder key/fob can still start a vehicle even without a battery. The battery is for the buttons. Now keys can break physically or the electronics can break and stop working. Sometimes it's the immo on the car side that's the issue. Ray invest in a new scan tool that has immo function. I suggest an Autel 508 mostly for key programming or even better an Autel 608 which is a full function scan tool with key programming. We have both. There are better key programmers like a Advanced Diagnostics Smart Pro but that's way more money and way overkill for the occasional key programming. I would go with one of the Autels.
Newer vehicles keep sucking more and more! won't be any saving one in the near future like of old !!!
When there is a major event and a ton of claims, the adjuster is not necessarily affiliated with the insurance company. They hire independent contractors to clear as many claims as quickly as possible. This drives customer satisfaction, but also they themselves are eager to know how much said event will cost them so they can plan on jacking your rates.
TH-cam programming a ford key to get the keyless to work. I programmed a keyless on a mustang and it worked
Keyless entry wont work till forscan is not connected to the vehicle system 34:00 @Rainman Ray's Repairs
Morning Ray and hope you and yours have a great Thanksgiving!
A bit of work and a scrub brush and that is a great truck.
I once bought a Ford 7 seater, and the only key it had was missing it's internal chip. The car drove alright, but not all functions were working. Had to lock the doors manually. New key and programming it was too much. Sold the car very soon after because the bottom side was in a horrible state and repairing it would cost triple the amount which I bought it for.
The gas tank is from the forklift at the auction. The cab light is because the door is open.
Cargo light on since drivers door open
I'd just do an add a key in pats and see if it recognizes it first. I am surprised the Apollo won't do a PATS programming. a $500 Launch Diagun V will.
I noticed while you were doing the inspection under the truck that the muffler was contacting the drive shaft by the marking on it. When you did the test drive and mentioned the noise I knew what it was. Your later video of the muffler contacting the drive shaft proved to be a correct assumption. Hope it didn't damage it by trying to cut it in half. Good video as always.
Time to check the dif for water.
I was traveling to my sister's house and I saw a sign in a guys yard that said
