Ford E350 | Speedometer Diagnosis Frustration
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ธ.ค. 2024
- The 1995 Ford E350 is still in the shop. The speedometer needle bounces around over 45mph, the AC is leaking, and a few other minor issues. It seems like a simple diagnosis, but nothing is ever simple...
Looking for an obscure specialty tool?
Lisle 14100 Valve Core Tool: amzn.to/2AM88Rm
Weller 6966C Heat Gun: amzn.to/2YXNQvU
What was the stuff you use on gaskets that helps it seal but never hardens? I was looking for that the other day and forgot.
Wes I was wondering your thoughts about a Massey Ferguson 65 4 cyl gas if they a solid tractor or not. Really enjoy your videos keep up the good work. Thanks from fielding new Brunswick Canada.
@@CTSCAPER Permatex 2A I think. The "aviation" stuff.
@@oldfaithful4112 Masseys are pretty decent. Should be a Continental or Perkins engine. Either would be good.
👍👌👏 Pretty impressive! Congrats!
I’m a old commercial HVAC mechanic twenty seven years in my trade and I can recognize a skilled mechanic. You sir are highly skilled, how you can go from issue to issue flawlessly is incredible.
I can’t believe how some idiots troll you. Thanks for a another great video I look forward to them.
Agreed, sir, from an old HVAC mechanic of over forty plus, on the sheet metal heavy commercial end of the trade. He's very skilled, and better, he's a natural, but he's still a pup, and lets things under his skin. So he still tries to bull his way through occasionally, instead of easing away, until his rational, and logical brain returns to the controls.
Yes, sir he's dam fine mechanic, and even better in the control wiring side of things I'm thinking, as it challenges his mind, and he enjoys that part of it.
@@timothymilam732 I'm guilty as charged.. But I ain't no pup. but if I STOP, and say, calm down.. and go thru things sloowwwly, I can get a tough job done, no cursing, and muscle thru it just fine. In the end Wes went right to the heart of the matter, so that's cool.
Sir, how do I say this? I deeply respect and admire you Sir , that YOU are comfortable with the technology! And sadly, the human race is easily tempted to believe that they are superior to others who do not understand! Sir? Can you fly a 747? probably not! that does not take away from your value as a mechanic!
in YOUR FIELD! So the OEMs use human arrogance against us all! They are not
helping men of lesser skills handle the equipment! And probably men such as yourself do not believe, that anyone without your understanding , should touch the stuff!?? eh? But life Sir , is not like that! and slowly, the stuff is so complicated and finicky in the real world.......it is becoming more and more of a problem! that is all I am pointing out! kennethzakaib607@gmail.com
I agree with Kenny 100%. I'm also a 24+ year tech who has worked on a huge variety of cars, trucks, boats, and equipment. I've been at indie shops, dealers, specialty outfits, and finally went into business strictly for myself. That being said, it's very clear to see, and give credit to a fellow tech who is good at what he does, and does it right. Wes is the F'N man!!! He's the type of dude I could really hang out with. My 'take away' from the people who try to troll and act like they're something special are just starving for attention and looking for some sorta credibility/ notoriety. Probably a good amount of jealousy and a dash of ignorance thrown in there as well. Keyboard warriors are all over on the interwebz. F 'EM is what I say. Keep the stupid comments to yourself and don't even watch the video in the first place if you "know everything," or are just commenting to 'look cool." This is a VALUABLE thing that he is doing by trying to help/ teach someone who is looking to get into repairing their own stuff. Not only does it help people save lots of money, but it can build a persons confidence enough to tackle the work themselves. Hell, and the videos are entertaining. I personally watch them for the commentary and I think some of the stuff is pretty damn hilarious.
Keep doin what you're doing Wes,
and keep it real bro!
👍😎
Wes when I was young like you I too missed a lot of clues, the Wife said she was dressing up for the people, no Wes she dressed up for you, that's why she just happened to visit you while you where working, to get you too notice. Too wise to late for me. Appreciate your Wife while you still can, things change in a heartbeat.
Your the last repair channel I watch.
Your good, stay humble.
Yep 👍
Sometimes you just don't miss something until it's gone. Take it from me whose just gone through a divorce for just that reason.
I agree, but I don't think Wes was videoing the dog. I think he wanted to get his wife's legs on camera ; - )
I always say she doesn't need me to appreciate her. She appreciates herself enough for both of us!
@@WatchWesWork - Might be due for a night on the town, take her out dancing. Don't ignore the Preventive Maintenance...
You are one hell of a good mechanic
I know this is an older video so I'm not sure that you will see this comment. I just wanted to say how incredibly inspiring that you are. You always seem to be able to find humor in any given situation regardless of all those around you have lost theirs. It must be frustrating to continually work on vehicles like they are a patchwork quilt. Customers who want you to pass your "magic wand" over whatever piece of insanity that they've brought to you, return it to them in perfect condition while charging them for the price of a tire repair regardless of time and effort expended on your part. Kudos to you.
you are NOT stupid - you're one of the most intelligent and skillful mechanics i've ever seen. since when have mechanics needed to be psychic to diagnose something like this?
HI Wes, Bob in the UK here, I am working my way through all your vids, Mate you are amazing, your knowledge for your age is unbelievable and where most would suck air through their teeth and say it aint worth doing mate, you go out of your way to help people, I wish you were near me :-)
Much respect. You have developed some impressive skills. Two thumbs up there Wes.
Thanks!
I'm always impressed the methodology he uses, he just helps us out when working on our own stuff.... live show!
Thanks Wes. Coffee with WWW is a good way to start the day.
Enjoy!
If it was my truck I would thank you doing all you could on a old truck Wes.
Your videos are awesome. Hit or miss, you publish. Awesome!
From de soldering EPROMs to beating on rusty old plow trucks, I have to say you definitely have a diverse set of skills. Really enjoyed. Thanks for sharing
Thanks 👍
Another great Sunday with Wes and Mustie1 both dropping content today. I’ve e got nothing done today, but learned a lot. Thanks Wes for taking the time to share these videos.
Hey wait a minute that school on your wife's shirt is a mile south of me. Watched your old shop tour, immediately recognized the location. Don't blame you at all for moving!
As a married man I feel your pain Wes. A pretty wife, a young energetic son and an inquisitive good 'ol boi doggo.... well 'shoot son. Who wouldn't be distracted. Your in the "zone", you got your 'thinkin' cap on and problems to solve. I'm sure she was miffed but your trade is your ability to feed your family. Work hard but don't forget to give them all the love and time they need on days off. I always found that pestering my wife on the weekend meant she couldn't wait for Monday to roll around again. Keep up the phenomenal work! Much respect from Canada.
For a tooth wheel operating off a reluctor, the strength of the signal is determined by the sharpness of the tooth edges. So, in order to get a strong signal, you need abrupt changes in tooth height. With the teeth rusted like they were. It turned them into rounded nubs. I think that you saw a decent signal on your scope because you were spinning it by hand but once those teeth had some real velocity along with the load of the amplifier circuit that the reluctor was driving. Those things combined might have resulted in a weak signal as well as a signal with leading edges (assuming a leading edge trigger) that were rounded so the circuit (assuming a zener) was not sensitive enough to actually catch the leading edge reliably. So the result was a signal that would have a time value between true triggers on the gate of the amplifiers that was all over the place. Just a thought but one that makes a lot of sense.
I really enjoy your ability to explain the complex systems and how you diagnose them. You are a rare talent!
I agree with EV in explaining your fix and repair processes, bravo !
It ain't ur fault Wes. You try to fix every vehicle that comes in your garage. You are still the man... 💯💯💯👍👍👍💪💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
We were taught to troubleshoot systems from the center out and repair or replace the components that were found to be bad one at a time. Your ability to diagnose issues is great.
I don’t know how I found this channel but glad I did! As a shade tree mechanic I enjoy watching other people wrench and picking up ways to do things!!
RUN DON’T WALK. AWAY, take your profit and take Momma for a nice dinner. I’ve tried to make these types of projects work for years and that square peg never fits in the round hole properly. My dad always said don’t cuss it get a bigger hammer. That philosophy caused me many hours of regret. LOL I sure enjoy your channel especially your sense of humor. I live in Villa Grove, Illinois. 20 miles south of Champaign/Urbana. Rust central.
I don't think that even the most knowledgeable armchair expert would suspect a rusty tone ring inside a differential !
The ABS and traction control on my 02 Volvo V70 kept going haywire. The left front tone ring was the cause, rust jacking had cracked it, ok up to about 45mph then a lot of warning lights on the dash. This is a good channel.
I surely did not expect it!
My '97 F350 had the same bouncing speedometer issue. I bought a new sensor and when I pulled out the old one it had metal shavings hanging off it. I pulled the cover off and there were chunks inside. I ended up getting another axle from a junk yard that fixed the speedometer. Thanks for the videos!
Wes, in my 15 years as a Ford tech, I've never seen a tone ring like that. I've seen teeth bashed in from debris hitting it from a blown up diff and people dropping the carrier on the ground, but never rusty. You just dont know until you tear down to inspect. Good find dude!
I've never seen this either. I mean of course you see tone rings outside the axle that are rusted to death, but they are rusty all the way around.
Great video! You fixed the wild swinging of the speed gauge and then you forget how bad the swing was.
Hi Wes, a couple ideas, just grist for the mill. 1) If you have a signal generator and can feed a clean sine wave of varying frequency and the right amplitude(s) to the speedo, you might be able to isolate the problem to either the speedo (if it still bounces) or the signal source (if it likes the clean source). You could also narrow down an amplitude range by varying lower until the needle jumps around or quits altogether. 2) It occurred to me it might be interesting to put a dial indicator on the gear teeth and see what the height range looked like. Then maybe setting the gap to the low end of that TSB range on the high teeth. Also might point up a concentricity problem or something. 3) You might want a shielded (coax) cable connected very close to the sensor while you're taking a measurement. Twisted pair might do the job fine though. In any case, that's a pretty long conductor acting as an antenna that can be picking up interference and the wires are a potential source of problem too, although I expect they are not shielded as they come from the factory. Anyway, it shows me your good character to be bothered by this not being quite right. But might want to check with the customer to see what good-enough is in this case :)
Very good suggestions/thoughts. I didn't see a response from Wes. Was wondering what his reaction was to your ideas?
I'm a San Diego Auto mechanic. I always use RTV called Right stuff. I fill the diff straight away tighten the bolts immediately and don't wait longer than it takes to wash my hands to drive it. No problems the last 15 years. Just saying. Love the show. Thanks
Happy Fathers Day, Wes! You've done a great job during diagnosis. It's a shame, but you're working with an abused vehicle. God bless.
Excellent effort, that customer hopefully appreciated your time in on the repair.
Well hope you can record the repair the rear end repair that should be interesting. Mrs Wes cleans up good. Thanks for the info on the heat gun now I need another tool LOL.
Wes...You are too hard on yourself...You are 100% awesome! You are the first mechanic I've seen that I would trust.
The pretty lady is right...Another live feed would be great!
Your videos are never boringLearn something every time!
First Happy Fathers Day! Clever fix to swap the E-Prom with the Odometer info. I always enjoy your debugging processes myself. Oh yeah..thumbs up from me for a Mr. nd Mrs. Wes live show.
Sometimes life just wants to give us a kick in the butt. No matter what we just have to keep moving. Keep up the great work wes and stay positive.
That truck is living up to the Ford name - Fix or Repair Daily. I should know, I have a Ford too. Really like the channel and your knowledge.
Another great clip, so much more organized than you seem to think it is. I ain't no mechanic, but I followed you every (logical) move. Thanks, too, for the hound, man child, and lovey spouse interludes; they break up the minutia of the repairs very nicely. Really like that you include a little bit of your home life; makes it real. Can't wait for the next installment! Rock on, dude.
Cool, thanks!
A challenge like this is stressful, you think you got the problem solved only to find it's not fixed yet. ( and it's not a rodent issue) but when you have aced it, you realise how much you learned along the way 👍
Great family Wes, your such a lucky guy.
Thanks Wes for getting the family in😊👍 your son growing like a weed😊👍Great videos. It is laid out were amateur's like myself can learn.
Thanks 👍
The joys of multilayer fault finding Wes, been there done that.
Constantly finding problems but still not finding THE problem.
When everything's wrong? All you can do is start from the beginning and keep plugging through until you get there.
Takes a lot of skill, determination and at times bloody mindedness 😂
You've defiantly got the first two traits, only you know if you've got the third 😂.
Great video as always man.
Wes I think there will not be many mechanics that would spend so much time and effort in the UK as you have on this truck if the laptop did not solve the problem then i can here the word scrap it sir, sorry if i have offended any uk guys like you, at least you put 100% into your work , Enjoyed every minute Wes cheers .
That's the dealerships are here. If it's not under warranty, they are not interested.
Oh yea... Don't sweat the haters..... Haters gotta hate. I wonder what they've done worth watching.. Your show is well worth watching. I'm a 30+ year master tech. I've binge watched your show all weekend..
It’s the truck that keeps on giving! Keep it at Wes, sure you’ll get there! All the best from the UK.
That should read “keep at it Wes!” Love the channel.
I'm assuming after the computer went bad twice, the neglect of it sitting resulted in a cascade of failure. Your hard work isn't going unnoticed bud. We see the sweat and skills in action. Keep rockin bro!
It is satisfying when one can pinpoint a diagnosis with a scope, but sometimes the scope doesn't show everything you need to see. On the last VR speed sensor I did there was another 4X4 axle sensor nearby so I was able to swap identical sensors and prove the diagnosis first, but that's not often possible. In most, both the amplitude and frequency increase with higher velocity. For a pro like yourself one has to consider the extra time involved, so I can understand getting new parts and moving on. Love WWW videos, thanks for the effort to keep them coming.
I'm really wondering if the higher resolution scope will show us the problem.
Very helpful. I learned a lot. I appreciate you sharing your time and expertise with us.
Man I'm glad I found this video, I'm going to fix mine. I was about to convert back to a cable and early center module. Thanks for sharing.
I know well the deal with one problem after another on certain projects. You do better at handling these things than just about anyone I have seen. You are a rare technician.
Well I guess I have mellowed in my old age.
Ah. multiple problems (especially when some are intermittent) Can be a real PITA.. I work on large packaging equipment, and cars from the west coast, so i don't see all the fun with the rust and corrosion, but when there is multiple problems, it can make you loose your hair fast.. what even more fun, when you are following someone else on the problem.. some times i can fix something in min, but he same problem someone else touched, could be all day.
I really appreciate your vids. Thanks Oh and happy fathers day.
Master mechanic. I am impressed with your ability to tackle any issue you face.👍👍👍
I think your wife is correct. Time to get that truck out of the shop. I see multiple issues occasionally when fixing small engines. I have a shop and sometimes customers wait until the units won't run at all then I find several problems. Sometimes customers only want to get it running and not fix the rest of the problems. Great video, many thanks.
Yeah it's hard to explain to a customer that fixing something could reveal other problems.
Ford "hello, how may we help you?" 'ya hi, my speedometer fluid is leaking.' i mean, that conversation must have happened somewhere at some point.
great video. i almost bought an identical E350 cab/chassis that had an ambulance body removed at a farm auction a few years ago. i notice it is in the scrapyard already. someone must have discovered similar problems. it's amazing you much i learn from youtube. keep wrenching Wes.
I own that same heat gun. It will also sit with the business end pointing skyward (at an angle). For long life, run it on the blower only setting after applying your heat shrink until the air blows cool. It keeps the element happy. Mine is >20 years old and still works great.
Going up against Mustie1 on a Sunday morning? Made my day!Good thing it’s the 21st century and we can choose our programming when we want it. Happy Fathers Day!
I don't think Mustie is worried...
Another TH-camr that does cluster repair is Fixed Until Broken and he's out of Florida. He did my cluster in my Silverado and did a good job.
This is just an observation when watching your video's I here a lot of ( I don't know and I'm no expert comments) I was under the impression your a fully trained and qualified diesel Mechanic so negativity should not come in in any way
You start at one end and go to the other looking for faults or bad wiring. I think you did an amazing diagnostic and repair look see. life is just like that sometimes Wes.
I get home after a long day going here and going there and click on the TH-cam channel and you’re there Wes thank God for you to give me some light entertainment
Glad you see it that way!
I have that same tire tool. Mine was from a tool truck. Never knew you could use it to remove the caps on inner wheels! Thanks Wes!
Look at it this way, it gave you an opportunity to buy a new tool. Every time I watch one of your videos, I add to the list of tools that I now need.
That happens to me all the time with other TH-camrs.
You are going to end up owning that truck, the labour costs must be more than the vehicle is worth. Great explanations , great content, please keep on with your commentary.
Great video Wes, the new Pico sure brought a smile to your face. Really looking forward to seeing that Pico in some upcoming videos. Regarding the diag process, I think you did a thorough and defensible job. Finding the partially corroded tone ring, after an initial inspection looked OK, the failure probability is very low but as Kieth Fenner would say you got a "bouquet of bullshit". Happy fathers day and bring on the live stream.
Wes I had the same problem a few years back and like you we had replaced just about everything as you did, I got talking to a old Ford mechanic and he aske if we had checked the wiring loom farther up the loom. we went back and started checking to wires and sure enough the coating had got hard and had broke letting water and such in and was a corroded mess. replaced that section of wire and sure enough that took care of the problem. I hope this helps Happy Fathers Day
We had the same issue years ago on a used 2003 F250. It ended up the tone ring was the issue. It had a three inch area the was smashed. We never did find anything in the case that caused it. The ring did fix it though.
Block off kits are AWESOME. I suffered through 3 summers with no AC in our '07 Jeep Commander because the long lines for the rear AC leaked and I was baffled by the whole ordeal. After some research and some transfer of troubleshooting skills from one discipline to another, I dove in and fixed that critter!
I bought one of those Weller heat guns with all the nozzles off eBay and your right it kicks butt. Cheers.
Happy Fathers Day, Wes.
Some times you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug.
Great series on diagnosis. I could not see anything you missed, and you caught things I would have not looked at.
Thanks for sharing.
I know this is an old video but I wanted to share my thoughts. I agree with your speculation that it was 2 parallel problems. My guess is that the PSOM module went bad first. You mentioned that it sat for quite a while. I have picked up Ford junkyard axles that sat for a long time and the top half of everything was rusted because it wasn't submerged in oil, and moisture got in through the vent tube, either by raining on it, dripping on it, or just what's in the air.. I'm not sure if just moisture in the air would cause pitting that bad, I lean away from that one.
Anyway, thanks for all the weekly videos. You're my favorite channel, always enjoy watching you diagnose and repair problems. You've definitely added to my toolset.
75w90 or 75w140 works good in them, as long as they LSD compliant. Synthetic is a huge help with those rear-ends. all 3 of mine have the 75w oil with lsd and synthetic, all very smooth. The good thing is, your honest, diligent on finding the issues, you don't hide issues, and you do things proper. It is hard to trust a lot of mechanics and technicians, people that have you work on their vehicles and equipment are very fortunate and lucky.
Wes, happy father's day! Awesome work! Also enjoy that you include the family. I'll vote for another live stream too! I am envious of that Pico. I'll pick one up one day. Thanks for sharing!
I've wanted one for years. I think I waited too long.
I would have been happy with the little flicker left but the extra effort is commendable. When stuff is left for a long time always takes effort to get it going again. Keep up the great videos, love the family element very much like my family and the wife coming down my workshop
It looks like someone has bodged every problem that unit has ever had.
There was a bodge too far and you stepped up to debodge the beast.
Thanks for sharing 👍
One of the things my shop was known for was air conditioning over 50 years experience, nothing lasts forever but auto air is relatively reliable. In the past block off devices didn't exist and you had to be creative, many a vehicle was fixed by the old crimp and weld method so I would say don't worry about bimetal reaction something else will break before you're block offs fail.
I always learn a lot from your channel and real life problem, yes I get lots of 3-4 step problems.
I'm having a keep finding/fixing stuff problem right now, just like this truck. I'm glad to know that my hypothesis about that sensor on the axle serves double purpose as speed sensor and abs. My third rusty brake line failure happened on my 300m the other night and was lucky enough each time to not slam into anything solid. I fixed the broken line, filled with fluid, pumped the brakes, and shot fluid everywhere from another rusted spot on the same line. I fixed that spot and it happened yet again further up n the same line. I decided to buy a roll of that copper/nickel stuff and replace every line on the damn car and they've rusted everywhere there's a plastic clip. I put a radiator in this car last week too. I discovered a water leak while working on the brake lines. I thought it was my fine bargain radiator leaking, but na it's coming from behind the timing cover. I put an ebay off brand bargain water pump/timing belt/tensioner kit in this car 5 years ago, so that may be the problem. The old radiator was sorta "swelled" at the top and bottom with a crack in the tank. I find it ironic that I put a new radiator in it and the water pump mysteriously blows a seal out of it. I hope it's not a head gasket over pressurizing the system. I would assume the cap should take care of the pressure...I dunno, all can do is keep fixing stuff until it goes again..lol
Nickel and dime I guess. Describes every vehicle I've ever owned.
Hi Wes. Even with all the work,I still think it beats buying a new problem ford. And it has helped put food on the table so to speak. Great trouble shooting and I think you will like the new scope. Happy Dads day. Liked,shared. All my best.
That has been a real head scratchier bro, I take my hat off to you for sticking with it. Stay safe
Very thorough very knowledgeable. Every mechanic should be like Wes
LOL. Be careful what you wish for...
Happy fathers day. You are very good mechanic and enjoy watch and learning from you
Like you said, the differential was not full. In all likelihood, the pinion seal has been leaking for years. The customer was unaware of it, since most people never check dif fluid. It was likely extremely low for a long time, and the tone ring simply rusted out over time.
Happy Father's Day Wes! Always enjoy your videos. You really do great work in trying to figure out obscure difficult problems. I wish all mechanics would take the challenge as seriously as you do.
Wes...Happy Father's Day...hopefully the new scope will show the frequency difference. Always like your troubleshooting videos...especially the Wes schematic drawings. Looking forward to the next video.
Well done Wes. Great job in explaining and keeping your frustrations under complete control. Yes do another live chat so we can jump in with some super CHAT tips in the jar to help you pay for the scope. Interesting enough The jet engine I’m a specialist on also uses A very similar method of N1-Fan and N2 Spool pick-Up Seed pick up sensors. The Maintenance manual has a shim pack so we can increase or decrease accordingly. Pretty cool you did well in explaining.
Wow. That's cool. Do you use a scope to check the sensor or is it just a matter of setting the air gap to a spec and it will be right?
@@WatchWesWork sending you an email with the Learjet engine manual screen prints we worked off in the field as Jet Engine field service mechanics
I know your picking on the wife but that's a good distraction your a blessed man. Thanks for sharing your talent and knowledge i enjoy the vids i love to learn
i have high regards for your channel wes , you never give up as long as you have an idea and thats pretty rare these days so thumbs up
Don't have these vehicles in the UK. Yes we have Fords but we don't have these over engined automatic things.
Even so I found it an interesting video. You're a comfy guy to hang with. I think that's what it is.
Thanks for letting me peek over your shoulder.
I had the same problem but I had the Speed gear Missing some teeth it works but jumping around I did not know you can do all those things to adjust thanks for showing me that Wes you are a wizard
Wes, I just got to watch this video and it was a rough one. I must say this is one of the better ones. Not all can go well and you see it. Keep up the great videos. Love the personal touches.
Hi Wes. Really like what you do. Please keep doing it.
I AM NOT a mechanic. I have none of the skills you do. I am however, familiar with electronics.
My opinion is that it is just the PSOM module. I base that on the signal I saw from the module on your scope. Yes, The signal was a little unstable at times but there is signal and there is signal conditioning in the module. I believe the module will get all the signal it needs from the tone gear even with a little pitting or rust on the tone gear or ring. I think there may be other issues with that PSOM board. I also think you proved that when you tried it in your truck. I don't think it kicked your butt. I think you would have had to order a new PSOM. Just my opinion. -Jack
Tone wheel MUST be replaced.
NO 2 ways about that.
Been told by people in the know that rusty tone wheels do nothing negative to hall effect sensors when it comes to doing their job. Air gap is king tho.
Leaking oil diff: Synthetic oil(s) tend to clean and remove deposits that were MASKING leaks that already existed.
That's one of the reason people feared(and still do) going from dino based oil to synthetic stuff.
Maybe that's what happened, maybe not . . . 🤔.
P.S: Don't get hot about it, can't fix something if parts are not up to snuff to begin with.
NOT YOUR FAULT. 😎👍
Tell the owners what's up and let them decide what to do. Not your problem. 👌
P.P.S: You're probably dying to see that thing go away for good but honestly I'm looking forward to the next episode and the axle leak/tone wheel job. Always very educational and entertaining.
HANG IN THERE ! YOU CAN BEAT IT ! 🤘
We enjoyed your last live video. Your wife's right it'll be fun, it'll go for on for an hour, without a break, Yahoo! All the best from Canada
Man, if it weren't for bad luck..... I'll be here for the ring change. Not to wish work on anyone, but; it will be a very interesting video no matter what order it is in. Good luck.
I agree with your wife. I want that truck out of there too.
Too many issues.
That would only make sense if you work for free. If the customer is happy to pay for quality work, then make them feel good about paying you by doing the whole job well.
Sending a truck back half done isn't going to get you customers when you need them.
dont ever apologise m8 your vids are the best out there along with your explanations double thumbs up m8
Great video Wes. I think you jumping on it with the O-Scope took you from issue to issue in a logical way. Man you are gonna love the Pico Scope. Great data storage and you can build "Math Channels" with it. Great show of grit sticking with it and figuring it out. Ambulance-Truck will never be new again.
I really hope the Pico is as good as it looks.
Wow!! Dash instrument cluster expertly plucked.......dismantled.......a true cluster pluck.
You are the gadget guy. Cool tools!!! Welcome to Fords ministry diffrential gear oil. All other fluids are "its gotta be this or that"
You're in for a real treat getting the ring gear assembly out of the housing. My Dana 80 with a rear fuel tank - there's no room (except the secret combination) to get it in or out + it's a heavy *****r. Good luck setting back lash + preload + gear pattern.....Cheers.....
Yeah, I'm sure the tank has to come out to pull the carrier.
Great video Wes, but dude... the effort for the speedometer... the perseverance, respect!
I enjoy your vids. I hope this helps. A friend of mine works at BBA Reman. 300 Myles Standish Blvd. Taunton Ma. They fix instrument panels clusters. He said usually a one day turn around. Keep up the great work.
Wes, Video was fine. Good videography. Thanks for editing it so well (or is that the bosses job). I know how she was distracting you. I have the same issue with my lovely wife when she wears a dress. We sometimes forget how beautiful they are and need to be reminded.
Hard to pin the issue when so-many parts are bad. Curious to see what you find next. Im ready to dump my tacoma for a 2.7 eco-boosted f150, lol not sure I want ford now. But I so-pose anything that old is going to have some issues. Really enjoy watching!👍
