Does anyone else see the irony of the guy running it through the car wash often to keep it shiny but can’t be bothered to run it through Jiffy Lube once a month to keep it alive?
Looking forward to the upcoming vids on this one. 👍
I get your point but never say Jiffy Lube again because their oil and filter changes are expensive and you get the worst quality oil on the planet. Do it yourself, go to the dealer, or anywhere but Jiffy Lube😉
then he buys a new truck... cant stand people like that. consumerism is awful and wasteful
Yeah, but look at the sweet deal Brian got.
@@hank1556 yeah, but he is good for the economy and the truck - Is 15 yrs old
@@hank1556 to be fair if your not handy or a car guy these trucks are not for you,i mean Brian gives people a fair price but most people wouldn't drop 3 to 6 grand on a 15 year old vehicle,we fix these things for cheap and it makes sense to us,but when you don't have the know how things get exspensive quick,I bought my 04 supercrew for 1300,it needs the updates but because I can do the work I stole the truck,but the old owner would have shelled out thousands to keep it alive
In case you wondering , he put in:
1-new engine
2-battery + harness
3-upper/lower radiator hoses
4-heater hoses
5-belt
6-pulleys
7-power steering pump
8-flush fluids
9-PCV lines
10-brake booster lines
11-throtle body
12-air box + air snorkel
13-fan clutch
14-powerstreeing lines
15-cooler lines
16- starter to battery cable
17-new engine mounts
18-new manifolds + steel studs
19-dip stick
20- cat converters + O2 sensors..
21-driver shaft
etc etc
I wonder how much was the total spence???
Yea he did , BULLET PROOF
@@fernandoarzani2704 atleast $6,000 if this engine was remanufactured but I think this was rebuilt? Wich is probably 1/2 of that
Unless the CPU controlled wires that are routed thru the roof your a fool to take thru deep water, always future wire problems
Brian, I'm an owner of a 2006 F150 XTL 5.4 3V and I can't get tired of watch all of your valued videos and tips! You are the most trustworthy Ford mechanic ever! I told you before, by email, I wish that you live close by. THANK YOU.
He stated that he got the engine for Powertrain out of Dallas. I looked into an engine for my 04 F150. Short Block $3200 (not a bad price). I would guess that he probably dropped around $6000 (not counting his own time since he owns the shop). $6000 + $2000 for the vehicle = $8000. Now the vehicle is basically new and can be ran for another 200,000 miles.
Brian, there's lots of YT car repair channels available but for me yours is one of best. You put a lot of effort into showing us how to do things right, and the audio/video quality is excellent. Thanks!
I wish you would have revved it up. Wanted to hear that exhaust
I have a stock vs Magnaflow comparison at the end the install video- th-cam.com/video/ZfLGl4Wmdn0/w-d-xo.html&lc=Ugx60lwUQXz6sPVG6Hd4AaABAg
@@FordTechMakuloco Thanks man, it sounds awesome
indeed
REV UP YER ENGINES!!!
adventureoflinkmk2 bahahahahaha pmsl
Hey Brian, congrats on the ' shop truck'. Most of us would consider THAT our daily driver!.. way to chase down those gremlins!...as Homer would say, "Woohooh!"
My dad left me his 04 crew cab fx4 when he passed, and i live all the way down in south Ga, id drive it up there in a heartbeat to have you go through it like you did this one whenever i go to rebuild it, awsome work!
Hahah dude same here I could so get a new a truck but my farther left me his 2008 lariat crew cab 6 foot bed and it’s a dime it’s just a real shit on wheels
I have a 07 f150 FX4 that was my uncles. He’s passed now I bought the truck to keep it and wanna do all of this to it no joke 🙏🏼
DUDE, I cant thank you enough. You have saved me a ton on my 320k+ mile 06 5.4 F150. THANK YOU!!
Original engine/trans?
@@Hubjeep Original engine, trans replaced at 175k
@@neptune4167 Thanks. Makes me wonder how many of these engines run just fine for a long time. Original timing components?
@@Hubjeep I just replaced chains, guides, phasers, tensioners, solenoids, oil pump, water pump, followers and lash adjusters about 600 miles ago.
Dang, I need to do my timing chains too. My trans also gave out at 170k miles.
One of the best mechanics on TH-cam, right here!
Honestly that's one of the nicest trucks I've seen of that generation, usually by now they're all destroyed and trashed.
Glad to see more vids coming out. Keep em coming Brian 👍🏻
Thank you for taking the time to share your valuable experience. It's truly a gift to us all!
Great job showing all the improvements. So many things that can be changed, all for the good. It looks like this will be a great shop truck for many years. Thanks for what you do, it doesn't go unnoticed.
Nothing better than going under an older truck and seeing it look new. Such a joy to upkeep then because nothing is dirty or gonna brake on you. Great job
I have a 2014 Ford raptor now and I mentioned your name to the group I’m in because you’re just top-notch on repairs and maintenance. I love your videos man thank you so much
I wanna thank you for the video a while back on you thread repair for the 2v 5.4l. I purchased that thread kit and rebuilt my 5.4l in my driveway and got it running again. I drive back and forth 3 hrs plus a day 3 days a week, live on a dirt road and drive my truck alot in my off time. Ever since I repaired the threads(I did all 8 just to be less hassle later) the truck has been running great.
Wow...that truck looks amazing! Great job of reconditioning, Brian. Keep up the good work.
Keep the great information coming Brian, it will be helpful to anyone wanting to do the same work rather than spending way more money to buy a new truck. Would you consider doing a series on bullet proofing F150s from various recent generations say the tenth 1997-2003 eleventh 2004-2008 and the twelfth 2009-2014 if enough subscribers showed interest.
Yes please do
I concur
Agreed
@@muskokamike127 I bet after everything he still has less than $10k in that truck and its perfect now. Where are you gonna find a 2015 F150 with 0 miles on the engine for less than $10k? Also, he went through and fixed the known problems of the 5.4 so that truck is good to do another 250k with just regular maintenance. The longer you can keep an old truck running, the more it pays you back.
@@Moosecop32 as long as you can do the work yourself.
Awesome video Brian! You didn't talk to much. Everything you mentioned was great information. I have a 2007 F-150 with the 4.6 2 valve. 131,000 miles and the truck still runs great. You helped me out with the little fuel pump relay board that corrodes through due to salt. I put stand offs on mine and good to go now. Loved this body style when it debuted in 2004. Keep up the great videos!
Finally a project that you can show frame proofing and engine work. Can’t wait on the tips from working on it.
So the Ford man drives a new Dodge Ram ? Very interesting. That Ford is nice enough for a daily driver for someone.
pontiachotshot I can relate, I work at a Toyota dealer and drive Ford’s 👍🏻
He wanted a light-duty diesel but not fork the cash and the f150 diesel wasnt out either yet. But that could have came back to bite him with dodge dieselgate and the update making the trucks wimpy unless he waited and did not get it.
@@jacobreynolds9736 traitor, lol
Craig Be hey man, America’s best selling truck. Take it with a grain of salt, I know all manufacturers have their flaws, but Toyota is really going down hill big time. It’s been a gradual decline I’ve noticed for 6 years or so when I started with them. I find myself doing a lot of repairs that make me reminisce my servitude at Chrysler, just my opinion though.
@@jacobreynolds9736 if they could just find a way to make them so they don't leak oil everywhere after 5 years of ownership, they'd be all right. Also if they wouldn't cluster everything over and around the engine bay making it a nightmare to fix, that would be even better
Just got a 05 a couple months ago looks just like it and love it.
A lot of money, but no car payment! I remember living in Massachusetts, washing the undercarriage would extend the vehicle's life. Had to wash it after the salt and sand hit it or it was gone in 5 years! Thank God for car washes that had the floor sprays that did a fantastic job!
I'm a Chevy guy, but I can respect a good looking truck that has had countless hours spent bringing it back to life. Looks great. Been watching a long time, but just realized I wasn't subscribed lol. Looking forward to seeing the engine R&R
Truck is basically fully restored. You've made me decide to get rid of my truck instead of repair it and get something less beat up. Love your videos always pop up with exactly whats broken on my truck and when i watch more its something another 150 i had did.
I had an 07 FX4 and with your help I kept it running really really well. But my God all the work you’ve done that is a brand new pick up. Good deal!👍
The truck looks great and thanks to your videos I have been able to do alot of work to my 2010 5.4 3v. Will be posting up videos soon of all the work i have done.
Nice truck. Great work on it. I got a 2007 Ford 150 been watching your videos since I got it last year All I can say is thankyou for everything
Great video! This really motivates me to replace some of the exterior components on my 07 F-150 and keep it looking like new.
I use your videos for tips on my 2013 F150 5.0L. You sir are an absolute genius and you've saved my butt many times
sorry im missed the video I got a phone call. Maybe later
Bryan,
Look like a great work truck now. Great job/video - thank you!
God bless
Paul
Nice Brian! Worked out well for you! Beautiful truck...
Thanks, Brian! Your videos on the 4.0L SOHC sure helped me on my '04 Explorer! Looking forward to the engine R&R videos.
Good job. As a motorcycle mechanic its nice to see mechanics work on thier own stuff.
Very smart businessman - didn't go plunk down 50 or 60 grand (or even 20 or 30) on a shop truck. Gets a nice clean one for 2k and then a little more for a new engine. You sir are financially smarter than 90% of people out there...
Awesome video, glad to see you bringing another one back to life plus. Great job!
I can't wait to see every video you post on this truck. I have a 2005 F150 Supercab XLT 4.6l that I bought new and is stillvmy daily driver. I just hit 63K miles on her and have just fallen back in love with her. I want to learn everything I can to keep her in tip-top shape for another 15 years (which will outlast me). I really don't want to ever have to have a truck payment ever again. Thank you for posting!
I am so freaking jealous right now!!!!!!! I have the same year truck, same cab and same color. That truck looks incredible. Great job on the motor work. I have a leaking high pressure power steering line that I have to replace. Like you said, they rot out from being exposed.
They are easy to replace. Do your oil change at the same time because the pressure line is WAY easier to install with the oil filter out of the way. Good luck.
Thanks for all the tips . Got an 04' with almost all of that done and more..
Looks great. Would love to hear it. Thanks for all the videos!
Awesome!! Can't wait to see the engine removal video!
Got lucky bout a year ago got a 08 with 92 k on it,like you other than engine r&r,i replaced hoses ,belts ,plugs coilpacks, battery,Flushed cooling sys new thermos,waterpump ,trans filter,brakes and shocks ,all done myself,runs like a swiss watch
One of my favorite videos yes keep the info coming
Ton of work! Great job! 👍💪
B.E.A Utiful truck!!! I have a 04 f150 on my TH-cam channel and you saved me a bunch of money and headaches. Keep up the great work!
You did great bringing that F150 back to the great looking vehicle it was. Very nice detail.
That's a great looking truck. You Sir, did an awesome job. Great skills and attention to details. I would definitely trust and want you working on my vehicle.
Great looking shop too.
Thank you for great videos!! Your videos are so informative!! Please keep the 2011 F150 videos coming, you are a spectacular mechanic!!!
WOW what an AWESOME deal you got, it looks great
Great video I own since new a 2002 F150 XLT Super Cab 5.4 Triton 2 valve 4x4 with 4 speed auto 137,000 miles with 3.55 tow package and happy that I get 16 mpg.
Beautiful truck. I have an '04. Hope to keep it on the road for my son one day. As always thank for the vids.
Love the truck and love the work. Great job!
I bet he smiles every time he takes a drive.
Wow! Looks great!
Excellent job Brian.
I had the same truck in 2004. That one is very clean.
keep up the good work brian. Love your videos.
I can not believe that this truck was driven on IL highways in the winter!? The bottom was spotless, truck looks great!
man you did a lot of work! Well done!
I had a rusty u joint and the guy at the Ford dealer told me it was my power steering pump. I went online and found it was a rusty u joint. I taped a small paint brush on a stick and put grease on the brush and coated the u joint. That was 10 years ago still working good. I have all the frame issues you pointed out on my 04 F150.
Hey your videos have help me tremendously thanks
I said the hell with installing another 3v I put an 03 5.4l in my 06 Lincoln Mark lt
Great update! Thanks
Nice work professionally done. 👍🏻
I miss mine now .....had a 2008 stx 4.6l same color.....solid truck 180000 miles never left me on the side of the road ....bought a 2019 2.7l Ecoboost, hope it treats me just as good
Now all you need is a body man /painter that knows how to keep the rust away inside the rockers,doors,cab corners, fenders,bedsides,hood,frame and tailgate. 👍🏻
All the good stuff!
gotta 06,4 door same color. Already did the whole timing job, Your videos were great.
Truck looks DAMN good. NICELY DONE!
Truck looks amazing great job!
Fab video! Thx. I bought a brand new 2002 in 2004 (was lost on the dealer's lot) at a whale of a savings and I was so happy with it until it got demolished in a winter accident. The 02's 03's and 04's all had different sounding exhausts. I picked the 02 with the big Goodyear tires. Electric shift 4WD. Couldn't get that thing stuck in big snow drifts in the forest out at UBC in Vancouver. Colour was Arizona Beige which was the best of all the browns. Had the big Triton V8.
Good job with it man!!!!
I bagan doing my own maintenance and repair since i was 18 years old. I paid to get some work done by a local mechanic. Upon reviewing the work, I was charged, and the work wasn't done. If you were local to me in Jersey, I would definitely take my truck over to you. I have a 2004 Fx4 great condition. Both body and chassis have minimal rust. However, I want to replace the engine and a few other parts. I enjoy your video, and yes, I'm a sub!
That's an awesome project truck. You know all of the failure points, so you know what to change out to make it fairly new.
The most important part you left out, what was your total cost for the rebuild of everything
Sounds like about 10gs
scot miller the long block alone was $3,300 minus $600 core. I would guess about $7-$8k.
12k or more easy. the magnaflow cat back is 1k, the cats probably another thousand , plus the rest, yeah 12k at least. nice outcome but damn thats alot of cash
Great job looks like a new truck!!!
Brian. We’re you throwing new parts on.
Beautiful truck. Congratulations
Bro this is a bullet proof 5.4 truck nice job 👍 😍
Glad to see someone as detailed as I am 😁
Beautiful truck, love the 04 to 08 body style
Look great. Powerstop rotors work great. Cross drilled and scored with pads to match. Have always worked great on my 06 4x4. Moog suspension parts last the longest. Control arms and links.
Great Looking Truck and the Price was Right, should Last a Mechanic like you for Many Years
You can’t talk about an exhaust system to car guys and not start it up!!!
Truck looks great, awesome job. 👍
My 07 5.4 f150 has 224k with no problems other than normal maintenance. Gotta do the pinion seal tomorrow, 1 window motor, master window switch, sway bar end links, 1 ball joint, and 2 sets of plugs.
You have the best videos
That's rebuild is amazing. It's a new truck now.
Ford built them super reliable from the factory. I have 392,000 on my and still going never had a issue.
The FX4 package on that is great. Super nice truck.
Another great video.
Looks great!
Cheap vehicles have always been my best ones. I purchased a Corolla with a blown motor from a customer for $150 way back in 2000. Built the engine for about $700 and other than regular maintenance it’s been 💯. Daughter went through college on it and I still kick it when I need it.
Brother, you just did what most of us would want to do but for time and money! Your truck looks outstanding!!! I'd of guessed that it wasn't more than 4-5 years old!!! How much, all in???
Love your videos, Brian! I picked up 2004 F250 from neighbor. Your videos are helping me! (I did the rear diff cover change and oil, now getting parts for front end). I also took advice from my mechanic and fixed gnarly steering issue: it was the rag joint! Replaced that shaft and steering way better now. Shame I have more rust that I need new bed (Damn you Ford for putting foam in wheel well!). Since 4WD trucks are now starting at $50K and up, it makes sense to drop $5-10K to keep a paid-for truck going another 5-10years.
xoxo2008oxox where in the wheel wells is the foam at?
I have an appointment tomorrow afternoon to see a 2006 ford lariat this video is fire 🔥 thanks a lot . New subscriber here
Thing is a beauty! Nice work, man! 🍻
Always cheaper to keep a 15 year (or older) vehicle on the road than it is to keep a new one there. Less tax, & less insurance - a win-win all around. 👍👍
It's all most new magnificent work 👍
You did spend a pretty penny but now you have a very reliable truck . All done by yourself. I bought an 800 $ 2wd truck with 266k on it and never has let me down. I dont know if i would spend that much on the truck as it is not a 4wd. Cheers!
