@@solo25fly ac was discharged you need to undo the lines to the condenser before you remove the front core support, I mention it in the video 👍

For what it’s worth it can be done even if your slightly handicapped, the day before I did this I fell down the stairs outside and wrecked my back, neck, and ribs 😂 Also minimal tools required. Can take this whole thing apart with a 10mm, 13mm, t20, and a Philips screwdriver. But I hear ya. Sh*t can be intimidating.

Started in the evening had it out before lunch next day and I take a LOT of LONG breaks 😂

Yea but the older explorers had timing chain guide failures that required you to remove the engine due to the one chain being on the back of the cylinder head. I’ve owned multiple and loved each one of them, my point I’m trying to make is don’t let the water pump issue shy you away from an otherwise great vehicle and a failing water pump isn’t always a guarantee. If you would’ve heard about the older explorer chain issues would that have pushed you away from purchasing those? Because it sounds like they where good vehicles for you, same as the newer explorers would be, don’t let the internet scare ya, you’ll always see the small amount of failures and complaints from people, but you’ll never see the thousands of happy owners of these vehicles

@@dom_not_torretotedesco5707 I hear ya and I knew about the timing chains in the older Explorers but I never had to change my timing chain in either of my Explorers. In my first Explorer the engine blew before the timing chain did. I just think to design and engine with a part that is common to fail so hard to repair is not good.

@@tommyhuffman8781 😂😂

Could it be the rear engine mount bracket?

@@RiggsCo no clue i've looked and can't find this thing.. if you don't mind i'll post a link to my google drive of the image.. might end up in your spam or something on yt..

Sorry for all the comments.. just watched like 20 more video's and finally seen it..its right beside the catalytic converter.. Mine was just missing, hence why i could not find the stupid thing.. .. Thanks so much for the video and taking time to reply to help out..

@@thatgregguy honestly it’s a somewhat common design to see nowadays. There’s other manufacturers making timing chain driven pumps. That said, these explorers aren’t terrible rigs. This one wasn’t ours but my gf has a ‘15 sport and it’s been a reliable truck. I have another customer who has a ‘13 with over 300,000 miles on it. I have done his pump probably three times though 😂

@ it’s shit anyway you slice it. I had no idea this garbage was being done or I would not have bought my 2017 Explorer. Foolishness!😡

@@blakeveit2061 hell yeah 💪 thanks for watching!

@@christianleibfried329 yeah it’s been awhile but if I remember correctly I used a chain and a couple bolts into the exhaust & intake sides of the head

@@jerrypruitt7432 thanks it’s captioned in braille for the blind 😂

@@thatvibemusic it’s not that bad! But I’ll take the compliment 😂🤝

It was way easy for me after watching this video! Thanks for the video!! While all apart I changed the plugs and cleaned up everything and changed the thermostat!!

@@raljix1566 find a local mechanic friend like me. I did this for $600 labor.

Changed mine at home along with the oil pump. Took a couple of days. Not that bad honestly.

Your very lucky a warranty covered some of the cost. This just happened to my 2016 with an external leak, some reprieve, but still $3,000 with my mechanic $5-6,000 with Ford dealership. Terrible design on a car and should be a recall as it was with Ford Canada.

@@Barbara-r6v6cthere was a recall in Canada for this? 🤔 The problem is so outrageous there should be a class action lawsuit over this. It’s bullshit!

@@kaytube5645 have it scanned. I’m betting there’s some line pressure codes in there. Pump is probably going bad in the trans. Likely will need a rebuild/replacement.

@@RiggsCo yeah i got a P0745 code. Pressure control solenoid valve. It happened again today, i got on a hilly environment with speed rumps, after crossing the first speed rump and stepping on gas pedal, car revved but did not accelerate , had to shift to neutral and back to drive before i got movement.

@@kaytube5645 yeah I’d check fluid level (warm at idle in park) and condition first before condemning the transmission. But likely need a replacement.

What was the problem causing it to not move in gear..I have a 2020 kia rio and a mechanic says it's a bad torque converter and the transmission needs a rebuild..why would both be bad 🤷‍♂️

@ when a converter fails they tend to take out the pump in the trans

@@arnoldm889 no I wouldn’t add any rtv to that gasket

@@willbrian2001 yeah I’d assume pretty similar. Grille removal is probably a little different.

What ended up failing on the engine?

@@gabesanders1119 buddy just sent me a video of it knocking really bad and then dropped the truck off with the replacement engine in the back so I didn’t diagnose it. If I had to guess probably rod bearing failure. Didn’t take the core apart to verify company he bought the engine from wanted the core back complete.

@@jpl57210 😂😂😂

@@NXCoyoteF150 hard to say without diagnosing in person obviously but did you have data logs you sent the tuner? Fuel trims lean at idle? Did you smoke test for vac leaks or just visual inspection? Has the manifold been off recently? This customer replaced his manifold (for whatever reason) after this repair himself at home and he rolled over the intake gasket on cylinder 8 and had a similar issue but also a noticeable misfire.

@@pizzahut6537 first thing I’d check is all the wiring. Posssible you missed a plug somewhere. I’d start by checking on the valve cover the cam position sensor is up there IIRC

@@notworthit1096 nope computer won’t care as long as it’s the same as what you pulled out. Check your wiring. Something isn’t plugged in or a ground isn’t bolted down. 👌

@@RiggsCo i noticed that the shift leveler is not lighting up white when ever a gear is selected. It’s not going into any gear. So im guessing thats my no crank issue. Bell housing ground good, head ground good, chasis ground under the fuse box area good, any other ground im missing? Any ideas why the trans would act up like that. I have an electro mechanic coming Monday/Tuesday to take a look at it.

@@RiggsCo also when ever i do try to crank it even do it doesn’t the dash goes out.

Thanks for watching anyway! My girlfriend also LOVES hers… I wish she didn’t. LOL 😂 but they are very nice rides aside from a little fix here and there.

@@RiggsCo lmaoooo ty so much for showing us what it takes! And making the video, Very much appreciated. I was able to understand where and what it was and how hard it is to replace it. Ty for another extra laugh ❤️😜

I apologize but you seem to know more about this then what I can find on the Internet. I had my actuator replaced about a week ago. After spending almost 600 dollars 🤬 now my defrost isn't blowing. I am taking it back today. I just wanted to see if you can at least keep it real with me. After fixing the blend door actuator, shouldn't this issue been fix ? Or can there be a different actuator that they missed and didn't check and replaced ??..... I apologize to bother you with this. If your not sure, I understand . I figure it wouldnt hurt to ask. I feel like they didn't do a good job, looking at everything. My AC is blowing better but nothing is blowing out of the front defrost vents. Tyvm

@@SuperLallypop no worries! They likely mis-aligned the actuator, didn’t set its position correctly with a position re-learn, or it’s bad out of the box (I’ve done two others that went bad again within a couple days of install it’s just a real shit part) I’m sure they’ll take care of you! Should be at least a 1 year warranty on that part. It is only one actuator that controls all “modes” (from defrost to floor vents) aptly named the “mode door actuator” so they definitely shouldn’t try selling you another actuator. There’s only three jobs three actuators are responsible for (unless you have dual zone climate then you have two temp doors) but that’d be one mode door, one recirculation door, and one (or two) temp doors.

@@Burninfox1 interstate raceway in MN! Right next to the SRD shop, this is their 10K event. 🤙

@@RiggsCo fire dude, this was a good vid

Yup!

That’s one way to do it! 😂

@@Hailie_FarmandYard I think another commenter mentioned the same thing. Did you watch the video entirely? I thought the same thing myself but was looking at the core housing, the slot for the filter was right next to it. But it’s entirely possible you don’t have a cut out, like I said I think someone mentioned that before with their 08 I believe…

Appreciate you watching! 🤝
