    Your poor wife is a trooper. You could see she wanted to help but was scared of what you were telling her to do. Bless her heart. One more thing, I love the long length of your videos.

    This is what keeps me watching .... I'm not a diesel fan, not a 'big pickup' fan and not a dually fan. For me, it's the way you and Rick interact and work together, you both have talents that are special both individually and as a team.
    Having the Mrs. jump in to lend a helping hand when needed is just icing on the cake!

    My daily is an 87 F150. It’s the body style after that, the brick-nose. It has the 300 inline 6. Possibly the best motor Ford ever made. 4 speed manual and the first EFI 300. It might be the most dependable vehicle I’ve ever owned.

    • @trentdawg2832
      @trentdawg2832 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      ‘87 is the brick nose after that you have the O.J. And before that was my personal favorite the ‘bullnose’………but yeah a 300 (4.9) in a bricknose with a manual trans doesnt get much better for dependabilitys sake…..very bulletproof drivetains

    Hey Travis, instead of using a piece of wood with the c clamp to compress the calipers I just use the old brake pad. Works great.

    • @brianrule5547
      @brianrule5547 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yep, that's what I've worked out is best to use, & always handy to the job.
      The fact that the brake effort was so bad was most likely the front discs needed skimming to allow new pads to have a good friction surface, IMO
      Oil comming from exhaust on second motor could've been from any oil collected in the upper part of the engine if it had been accidently laid over after removal from the original chassis ?
      So in short, Travis could've run that motor for long ger

    A trick I have used to get those fans broke loose is, slide the combo wrench open end on the hex. then hit the box end of the wrench straight on like you are trying to bend the shaft while holding slight tension in the direction to loosen it. usually by the third hit it comes off. also used on hoses and stubborn bolts. The bigger the wrench the bigger the hammer

    Front pads were cracked probably because rotor pistons are dragging. They were way too difficult to retract. Also, effecting acceleration. Do the whole brake system (rebuild calipers/wheel cyls, master) particularly since you plan on selling it.
