What year was that dts?

Hey buddy where did you get the new ecm mine burned up on my dads corvette he left it to me and I’m trying to get it running

Could a bad tire rod cause stiffness in steering and a power steering message?

Thanks for not explaining it at all.

Nice of you to make a video. I take it that you have a Z51?

Great view and explanation 👍 Thanks it helps us C8 owners a lot got free 🙃

I bought my impact driver in summer of 1980. I had just moved to Houston TX and was 2000 miles away from my dad's tools. I was 20 years old and experiencing "adulting." It is still in my tool kit which is much bigger than my dad's tool set ever was. I finally broke down and purchased a large Craftman tool chest in 1998 after my first home with a garage. I felt like I had finally reached true adulthood. Today, I wonder which future son-in-law will inherent all my tools. Both are car guys and decent mechanics. 🙂

I love that car ❤

Thanks brother! You helped fix a good car about to go to the yard

Ford mistake for sure. At least the dinging stopped.. 😊

It is the little details that usually get us. Thank You for the repair hint to look for in the future. Have A Productive Day! 🛻🚚🚛

What size are the oil pan bolts? I have a 99

Should have been fixed at PDI. Good work.

I worked at GM dealership back in 2000ish and a guy had a brand new Cadillac with a warped rotor. 3000 miles. I went to order a new rotor and the service manager canceled the order and told me to machine it. The fucking car was brand new. It was obviously a factory defect. Those dealers are complete dicks

🤨... So it didn't just occur to anyone that the humps would go into the cutouts on the piston-side of the caliper? I'm not even an actual mechanic and have done maybe 20-30 brake jobs in my life, but I know mostly from being in home repair and remodeling that sometimes, especially with roof repairs, you've just got to trust your own logic/intuition on how things SHOULD go together, rather than just following what the guy before you did... Otherwise you probably wouldn't be there to fix it.

I love how you KNOW the dealership computer has a high-detail diagram with animation and instructions for the job and the guy STILL puts the donut in the flame broiler... I swear a 6 year old on roids could do the shop job these days with the diagrams and animation digital manuals. That the concept of putting the round part that covers the entire plunger on the back didn't immediately register, I get the "did what they did" part but yeesh. The problem with the theory that infinite monkeys with infinite typewriters could produce shakespear is the monkeys will always eat the paper and slam the typewriters on the floor first.

Do i have to add any oil in the head when replacing?

lol I couldn’t find it! Thank you 🙏🏼

Nothing wrong with machining a rotor for a brake pulsation. Pulsations are very rarely due to warpage. I’m not commenting this to be a dick. I thought the same thing for a long time. Either way Ford dealers have been required to use on car brake lathes for almost 25 years now. Those are great at correcting any lateral runout issues.

DORF circled the problem and put it on the grille in your face, you still buy these trash vehicles....

Looks like common sense to me hmm?!

VERY COMMON ISSUE! Mechanics put it back the way it comes in, despite the fact it came in with a problem. My 55 years of doing wrenching I can’t remember how many times employees said I just put it back the way it came in. First thing I tell new techs,” put it back right, not the way it comes in.”

Good work.and diagnosis.thanks.🦘

What did you show here

If you were half decently good, you would have easily noticed where each pad must go & even file or grind if you are good - the pad tabs a bit or the paint on them so they slide nicely in the stainless steel clips that also has to be nice underneath them as well. This is not a precision job, but a few little details need to be paid attention to. And most people can't figure out how to use brakes so they last & don't create hot spots in the rotors - which is another related issue & would prevent any cutting if brakes were used strategically. Just sayin.

Replacement of 3 rubber hoses is advised due to age of vehicle

I got a used truck that had dealer installed air conditioning. Never could use high fan speed without melting the in-line fuse. Dealer mechanics are the worst.

Also there are very few rotors out there that can actually be turned without going below spec....even straight pit of the box.

Just for future reference all the f150s and many others have a crimped bracket on the hose.....after a few years it rusts on the inside and collapses the hose won't let fluid back thus causing pulsating. I deal with this on a daily basis as that's what I have done for the last 25+ years....a technician that is. They now label most pads inner and outer.

I made a huge mistake of putting ceramic pads on my FJ. They messed up my rotors. I thought my mechanic would have told me they’re not compatible. I found out they weren’t almost a year after I put them on.

First things first if you see that the pads are not the same you then investigate why!

This shows that mechanics that know what they are working on do not just follow what is done before.

One of my most memorable repair stories is a '14 F150 3.5L I did front brakes on about 3 years ago. Took the left caliper off and pieces of the piston fell out. Pads were in the wrong spot and one of the pins on the back of what should have been the outboard pad, looked like it had been forced against and was what had broken the piston. They're phenolic, not metal. Called the customer, told him it needed new calipers because "It looks like someone beat the caliper on with a hammer and broke the piston." He was quiet for a few seconds and said, "Yeah, that was me." Now he doesn't miss a chance to remind me how he screwed it up, I called him on it, and now I'm the only one allowed to work on it. Edit: Forgot to mention, the core charge on the remanufactured calipers was more than the calipers cost! Pretty rare to have that happen. Guess they really wanted it back.

Those bumps are for the pistons, they line up with them. Some brand pads will be marked inside and outside or inboard outboard.

3 times? How is there any chance of enough material being left after cutting them the first time. Rotors are so thin these days to begin with, not like 20-30 years ago where you could cut them after 15 years of hard use and still get quite a few more years from them.😂😢

Some muppets only have Eyes painted on..😂😂

Stupid is as stupid does.

Seems to me you did not check how the Pads are supposed to be installed. In their correct place. Also, 'pulsations' can occure even with brand new Disks installed. It comes from a Wheel Hub that is a tiny bit 'off' alighnment. Put a Dial Indicator on the HUB to check. Unless the Hubs are true, all bets are off. 🇦🇺

Them F150s chew threw brake pads 😅

"The shop manual/ALLDATA/etc. is your friend." But the stealership mechanics are even worse!!

I took my 2013 volester to dealer- fan switch bad. Got back- radio and some other things not working (fan working). Took back and they forgot to finish connecting wiring harness. They gave me free oil change. Great video

Thank you for that tip. Much appreciated

K.... ecoboost.... ecotec isnt in the f150. Also, brake jobs are done by quicklubers.... they are not the smartest. If it was done by an actual tech it wouldve or shouldve atleast be correct. Plus, its not the fault of the vehicle that caused the problem. I cant stand fords either but i work on them everyday. Just gotta be smarter than the vehicle or atleast smarter than the engineers.

Sad part is that it's just incompetence all the way around and large shops getting rid of seasoned techs in favor on cheaper replacements. It's happens everywhere and it sucks. I've seen it happen at the dealer when I was still there. Glad to be an independent shop tech now. Good work.

this is why i will never own a ford 😂

Thanks for the tip🤙 shake the camera a little more while you're at it 😅

2004 PT Cruiser: failed front wheel bearing. Shop replaced them. Two months later, under 'warranty' replaced again. Three weeks later, same noise. Shop refused further repair. Took car to different shop for new wheel bearings. Two weeks later, same noise. THEREFORE I finally disassembled the hub and bearings. Took it to second Shop to show HUB was worn and bearing race spinning. The "Shop owner mechanic" looked at it and said, "It just needs new bearings!" wtf. I got a new hub and bearings - problem solved. 😢

I would've NEVER do this stupid error! Patrick,Electrician.

What if the guy before you didn't put the dumb things on correctly to begin with you'd be sitting there with your finger up your nose trying to figure out how to do it. It just goes to show you it's always something.

PAY ATTENTION and I always put new rotors on
