Eric another real world repair and video. Nice to see everyone doesn’t live in a perfect world. Thank you for sharing hope everyone is well and looking forward to part 3. Good luck with your home purchase. Hope you bought one with a big garage. Thanks again 👍❤️
I enjoy your commentary. Thanks for sharing your videos. You are in the same boat as a lot of us - short on time, don't want to spend money, fixing a pile in the driveway.
I feel your pain, I just finished swapping out the engine in my truck. Had to borrow an engine lift and also was primarily on my own. Wife helped as much as she could but it's still a job no matter what.
UNBELIEVABLE! So if you needed to replace just the radiator you would have to recover the A/C in order to do so? So much for a simple inexpensive at home job... Now that's what I like, 0 thumbs down... (hope I didn't jinx it). Job well done! Thanks Eric.
No need to apologize for the background music. I couldn’t really hear it on my iPad, and even if I could hear it, so what. You’re working at home under less than ideal conditions trying to fix your wife’s car. More power to you👍.
The condenser can be removed from the radiator , so you can remove the radiator and leave the condenser in the truck . Can be done without discharging the system . 💯 %
Hello I have a 2004 Explorer 4.0l 2wd. I will be changing the timing chains. I was wondering if there is a way to know if my Explorer has a balance shaft? Thanks.
I’ve got the same truck with the same general problem. Slipped chain with bad tensioner. Been sitting for a year. I know I could fix this but decided to sell as I have a Tundra. I was close to getting a new engine as well. Good luck. I actually remember seeing on on car-part.com in Texas with 85k on it.
It’s a shame you have to do that job in the first place plastic chain tensioners? Do you have very many miles on the truck ? Failures like that are why I drive Toyotas now ,Great video great information good luck on your new house Can’t wait for part two
Same with my sport trac but, I said screw it. Im replacing it w/crate engine. $3000 , $600 core & free shipping. Fix'n the other is around $1200 in GOOD parts etc. Worth the money to swap instead of spending longer w/original engine.
Sounds like your neighbor already had the drinks going based on the music in the background. lol 10:46 - 11:45; soo many opportunities to dump the random "That's what she said" phrase...
Had one in my shop a few years ago...rear chain guide shit the bed...it managed to break the valve cover on the right bank...we decided to install a used engine..3 rotten valved used motors later I ended up selling the customer into a reman unit in a crate. Bit of a job but damn, what a stupid F'n design!
I have a 96 loaded one with/ohv. More reliable than the flames of hell. Pushing 200K. Needed valve cover gaskets, took me 2 hrs. The 4 spd trans in 96 is a bit more reliable too.
Looks like Ford does not want you to fix that engine. Way too many steps to get that out of the car. A dealership may have some shortcuts after doing it many times, but you would still have a huge labor bill.
I know you don’t have a lot of time to work on it, but please, please put a rt hand (the rear) timing cassette guide and tensioner on the new engine. It gives the new engine the best chance for such a pain in the ass engine.
They basically used an existing design and converted it from belt, then found didn't have room to drive both cams of the v-6 with 1 chain so used back chain to drive the other cam
Yeah what a city design there's no need to have two chains every single car even the German ones and we all know how complicated they are have one chain
You gotta work it. Get the radiator out. How else are you gonna get the harmonic balancer off. Not in this video. I wanna see you do a harmonic balancer off this kind of vehicle. Lol!
ADVANCED LEVEL AUTO you got craigslist, visit your local parole office plenty of fish there.. no joke I took two dopers in the shop and there men bro.. it’s all in how you are I am a little rough on my helpers so naturally left me with this group but the under dog has the most determination
Tell me about it, up here in the Rust Belt (North) you have to use F..... bombs, sh......t bombs and WTF bombs before those Rusty crap bolts, clamps etc. will come loose. It's a daily thing when working on cars up North in the rust belt, I feel your frustration with those lines, 😀😀😀😀😀. Keep up the Great work.
Mines at 198,000 miles and aside from basic repairs/maintenance, I’ve never had any major problems. Just do basic preventative care and repair things as they go out (which is not frequently), and you’ll have no problems with this vehicle. Still looks and runs the same as the first day I bought her. Never understood the hate for Explorers by some people.
Dude I love your videos I watch every single one of them but I think you should cut down on your talking your talking just a little too much I think you should just get straight to the point.
You are one of a few TH-camrs I have on notification and I support by allowing adds to play till the end, no skipping or add block. Good job mate
Sincerely, thank you for your support!

You're a hard worker and deserve the best for you and your family...My prayers are with you.
I enjoy your commentary. Thanks for sharing your videos. You are in the same boat as a lot of us - short on time, don't want to spend money, fixing a pile in the driveway.
BONUS!! TOOL TREASURE 👍
I LOVE IT WHEN THIS HAPPENS
JOB WELL DONE 😁

Congrats on the home purchase!
Looking forward to the rest of this video series.
Dino Vicaro
Thank you
Awesome video. I'm white and I thought the music was a nice touch lol. Figured YOU were playing it. Love it bro.
Amen brother, ANY kind of music being played TOO loud and TOO late is annoying.
Exactly!
@@ADVANCEDLEVELAUTO to me, ICU2 don't like Mexican music, corridos jajajajaj
Reasons why I love my 96 4.0 ohv
The hose clamp tool is the bomb .
Yes it is!
UNBELIEVABLE! So if you needed to replace just the radiator you would have to recover the A/C in order to do so? So much for a simple inexpensive at home job... Now that's what I like, 0 thumbs down... (hope I didn't jinx it). Job well done! Thanks Eric.
I need help I got a 96 Chevy tahoe the windows won't go down and the ac controls dont work and the radio lights up but doesn't work
No need to apologize for the background music. I couldn’t really hear it on my iPad, and even if I could hear it, so what. You’re working at home under less than ideal conditions trying to fix your wife’s car. More power to you👍.

Hey eric thumbs up even before seeing The video
The condenser can be removed from the radiator , so you can remove the radiator and leave the condenser in the truck . Can be done without discharging the system . 💯 %
Congrats on the house.
Congratulations on your new home purchase!
This exactly the type of video I was waiting for. Thanks Eric. I really miss that TexMex music.
Thank you! Gotta love Tejano music.
Hello I have a 2004 Explorer 4.0l 2wd. I will be changing the timing chains. I was wondering if there is a way to know if my Explorer has a balance shaft?
Thanks.
Love the music. It ads to the ambiance. Nice video:
Muy buen video Eric. Los vecinos y la musica, en todos los lugares es igual !!!. Aca en el barrio suele pasar. Saludos.

Yeah I like Toyota they use plastic stuff but it's really strong plastic you actually can't break it Even there's seat trim
Hey I like that music,, it is better than Rap music..
Country music which gets on your tits eventually
Rap music nowadays is mostly about drugs, money, hoes and killing. Mexican music is mostly love songs.
you gotta get a battery operated ratchet.1/4 and 3/8......i cant live without em now...
Will a 4.6 l bolt in , instead of the 4.0 l
Smart move parts on these engines will exceed price of used unit and like you said doesn’t include all your time repairing.
Helpful! Keep it up!👍👍👍

it never rains but it pours for you, all the hard jobs, cars that everyone else doesnt want to do, now the worst engine in the world
I wish I knew it was the worst engine before I bought it. Thanks for watching!
@@ADVANCEDLEVELAUTO is that the infamous 5.3 that loves to snap chain's
@@neilmurphy845 It's a 4.0
Sounds like your neighbor already had the drinks going based on the music in the background. lol
10:46 - 11:45; soo many opportunities to dump the random "That's what she said" phrase...
“Sometimes you just gotta do it by hand” That’s what she said lol
How long does it take you to pull this engine?
Damn Ford gotta make everything hard on this Expedition. This is the reason I stick with Toyota. I never had issues like this in the last 200k miles
Had one in my shop a few years ago...rear chain guide shit the bed...it managed to break the valve cover on the right bank...we decided to install a used engine..3 rotten valved used motors later I ended up selling the customer into a reman unit in a crate. Bit of a job but damn, what a stupid F'n design!
Do they take request?
To me, Ford screwed the pooch with this engine. Should have kept the pushrod design.....
I have a 96 loaded one with/ohv. More reliable than the flames of hell. Pushing 200K. Needed valve cover gaskets, took me 2 hrs. The 4 spd trans in 96 is a bit more reliable too.
Invitales unas chelas a los neighbors pa que te ayuden jajajaja

thanks for sharing
Better do a good job. You have a tough customer to please. Lol😂🇨🇦 stay safe
Good job
Thanks
man wish i was there to help you bro.
Thank you! It means a lot.
That damn Radiator... I have an '06 and I've swapped mind out 3 times. Damn cheap plastic tanks.
Big job. The engine will be out in no time 💪
Drain cock sounds weird. Thanks for sharing Eric.
Hey erick que hay después de 4 meses de ausencia ya estoy de regreso hey bendiciones mi amigo 🙏
Cool😎
please stay safe all.............
You gotta be in San Antonio
Close. Houston.
Good
I just lost my 90° pick into a truck that's long and gone by now
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I know you don’t have a lot of time to work on it, but please, please put a rt hand (the rear) timing cassette guide and tensioner on the new engine. It gives the new engine the best chance for such a pain in the ass engine.
That’s probably a good idea.
You just broke even on this repair finding that Snap-On gold on the rad tank.
Yeah that's screw driver was totally worth thousands in repair bills 😵
Waiting on part 2 !!! ?????
I apologize. I will be posting very soon. I’ve been busy with the move and work. Thank you for your continued support!
Why Ford engineers design the timing chain in the back of the engine and also combining the radiator and condenser. its such a stupid design?
They basically used an existing design and converted it from belt, then found didn't have room to drive both cams of the v-6 with 1 chain so used back chain to drive the other cam
Yeah what a city design there's no need to have two chains every single car even the German ones and we all know how complicated they are have one chain
Hello,please provide me link for buying suv 1996 ford explorer v6 engine*right hand:post here,thanks friends.
Cuanto me van a cobrar por hacer ese trabajo?? Me ayudas porfavor
I would never buy a used sohc v6. I drive a 96 with a 4.0 OHV. My next will be an 09-10 with a V8. The transmissions on those suck too.
You gotta work it. Get the radiator out. How else are you gonna get the harmonic balancer off. Not in this video. I wanna see you do a harmonic balancer off this kind of vehicle. Lol!
Fuckin mini me needs to be doin this bro where’s the helper lol
I wish I had one lol

People double dip collect corona bucks an work
Yo compre una ford explorer y tiene. Un ruido igual🤦♂️
Vulgar language is always my first go to tactic.😬
It helps sometimes.
Tell me about it, up here in the Rust Belt (North) you have to use F..... bombs, sh......t bombs and WTF bombs before those Rusty crap bolts, clamps etc. will come loose.

Read about what JESUS did this is mine blowing. Can you believe this, did you ever hear of this about HIM
Romans 10:5/10, c u there
$$🧐👌,u
Ford should have left the engine pushrod
Car-part.com .... list of junk yards and recycling yards in your area.
Why u don't by toyota
I hear Mexican music in the background
Yes sir!
Jesus, it's a 4.0 liter exploder... it's worth about 7.99 on the open market, get a better car and chalk this experience up to experience.

I’m working on it. Still trying to get better at making these videos. Thanks for the input.
I like all of his talking. Can't explain something too much as long as you don't repeat yourself
I do not like the design of that vehicle it’s about as unfriendly to work on as anything I’ve ever seen. Light it on fire
Who the F@#$ designs this S&%@,Thats right ma'am your radiator replacement will be $1563 and 49 cents
You would have more time if you didn't talk do much.
