In this video we go through the process of inspecting and replacing the universal joints on a Ford Excursion ( also applies to Super Duty pickups). The process to lubricate the slip yoke is also provided since this is easy to do while the driveshaft is out. This was done because I was experiencing a slight hum/vibration when accelerating and replacing the rear u-joint cured the issue.

C10 Pickup Paint Resurrection "How To Video"
Nice
Thanks
Money was never an issue for me when servicing my cars at dealerships but started to have doubts whether they actually performed all the things they stated and I caught them cheating! I drained the oil myself, unscrewed the cap on oil filter, made a mark on the filter and put everything back on. Then took my 2019 GLS450 to the dealership and they hit me with $9400 estimates for work urgently needed to be done, that being lower control arms needed to be replaced, left axle boot was torn and regular service. I refused repairs but asked to do the 40k service only($640). Brought the car home and looked at it myself, there was absolutely nothing wrong with control arms, no knocking, nothing, 40k on the car!Axle boot had lots of grease on it, torn right? I got suspicious the grease was “fresh” and clean. I wiped it off clean and 7k miles later to this day still no sign of grease! Then I drain the oil and unscrewed oil filter cap… and lo and behold my old oil filter I marked was still there!!! Of course I went back to the dealer and complained to no avail. No more servicing my car at a dealership!!!!
I would like to believe that this sort of thing rarely happens, but it seems like a misdiagnosis or outright dishonesty happens too often.
I just used carb cleaner and rags and it worked. A plastic toothbrush is good too. The harsh solvents in the carb cleaner are healthy for the bottom end of the engine, clean everything out. When I was done, I blasted it with compressed air to blow the sovent and any debris out. Wiped engine oil into the cylinders and hand cranked it a few turns to have everything wet and lubed for first startup and corrosion prevention until I finish putting it together.
Wow! Thank you. so far, 2 weeks, 500 miles, daily plugged in and charged. no fluid drop and working liking a champ! thank you !
Glad it worked out!
...CRITICAL THINKING , GOTTA LOVE IT...!
I wish it was this easy for the Kia Sportage. It is just ridiculous, have spent hours, trying to get the pieces back on. Nothing fits correctly,
Thanks! Im 17 and Im currently working on my 82 silverado pickup and was having some trouble 😂
Can the youcanic activate the SBC pump?
How do you change the battery? I figure it seems the job need a battery saver or calibration need to be done rather than just replace the battery
Normally you would read your camber off the gauge first and adjust it, then do your caster adjustment. At least that's the way I use that tool and it is also the way the manufacturer suggests.
Thank you so much! I will try this!
Thank you!! I'm going to replace my handle now
Thank you!
I have 2019 gls450 and I spent $2700 for Rear air suspension just few months ago. ( 60k miles) Now they have found a radiator leak ( 67k miles) another $1500
I just did mine. I managed to do it without removing anything else (like the firewall liner). But it was ridiculously difficult. These engines are not DIY friendly, even replacing just the air filter requires so much extra steps!
nice video i do this because of i see your video
No accelaration and bluish withe smoke what can it be ?
Thank you! This was a frustrating process but your video really helped!
Thank you for making this short to the point video. I’m so glad I did not have to remove the door panel. You’re awesome.
I was glad I didn’t have to remove the door panel either!
Perfect video! This worked on my 2013!
Excellent! Glad to help out.
that did it for me, thank you so much!
Glad it helped!
No Nita😢
How long the kit lasts after restoring? Thanks
Thanks it worked perfectly
best video on gl450 spark plug replacement. the most difficult part -- pulling the boot out is horrible nightmare. Without the tool, it is impossible for me, even with the tool, it is still very painful to pull the furthest 2 boots off. on the driver side, the oil dip stick is blocking the way, so i uncrewed and move it slightly out of my way. thanks for putting together this video
Been stuck on this for 2 days now our oil filter looks just like yours. Gonna try to make the socket tonight and pray and hope it finally comes off. To say it has truly pissed us off is an understatement 😑
Is there nothing to do on the drum assembly? No need to loosen a star wheel to remove the rotor?
Any expansion plug from your local auto parts store will work, $2 a pop, you can thank me later!
They work in a pinch, I find the metal ones have greater longevity
Thank you!
Would this be the same procedure for the 2019 SClass 450?
I’m not sure.
You can also use zip tie by putting it first then letting it bite into the wire then pull it.
After replacing two door handles on my 2009 Kia Sportage, I bought a 4 pack of handles on eBay (black - left, right, front and rear) for less than the price of 2, and I've already used two of them, so if they break in the same order next time, I'm way ahead on this repair job.
You may be the smartest person I heard from all day.
Can 4 wheel antilock breaks be put on a square body chevy as an upgrade?
Not that I am aware of. Interesting thing to research if you wanna put the time in though.
How come my isn’t coming off
It should if you’ve removed the fastener. I’ve done it twice so far
@ do I need a flat head screwdriver or something to pop it out ?
Everything worked except I’m getting full service cannot be carried out message
I’ve never had that happen but I’ve heard that sometimes you have to drive the car for over 50 miles and then try to reset again and then it works. You might wanna try that.
Great video thanks
Low volume, did you had you v8
Maybe did not have great microphones?
What size ractchet was that
Where did you get those ball joints? By the way great video
Rockauto.com
The rims to do not give vehicle any justice
I agree
Thank you for being the only one to actually show how to do this!
Thanks mine just broke today getting a new one and doing it mysef
Fast, efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you.
Lets be honest. You skipped over that bottom caliper bracket bolt thats inside the control arm bracket because your socket wrench wouldn't fit. It's U shape making a 1/4 inch driver too big too fit in the space. I recommend a smaller 1/4 inch driver to get it started.
Just had to do this after every other method failed. Great idea and worked good
Work for me, what else can I say?
The repairs for these two accidents are so expensive; they've already exceeded the value of the car. Did you have the repairs done at the dealer?
Accident number one was repaired at the dealer, accident number two was a couple of years later and was repaired at an independent paint and body shop. You are correct, if combined together, those two bills are worth more than the vehicle!.
Great video, thank you for this info ! My 2018 GLS has the same seat wear issue up front, same crack on the mouse. Heard it’s from the sun. Great vehicle though ! Thanks again for the time in making this video.
It’s been solid, we will probably buy the 2020+up version when it’s time to trade-in.
@ that would be nice. I like the box look though.
Thank you!

I dropped the screw down into the door when I was unscrewing it. Now I don’t have a replacement screw to attach the piece I ordered! Will I have to take the door apart to get it or can I just use a regular screw that fits?
From what I recall, it looked pretty specific, you’ll probably need to take the door panel off to retrieve it
@ I found a similar bolt at Home Depot for .42 and it worked fine!
