I was among the early experimenters of using cooking oil for fuel. This engine was the third engine to fail on it. It has sat for eight years and I have decided to resurrect it. No more cooking oil for me!

1979 F150 cab onto 2000 F250 Powerstroke.
Mine makes a grinding noise only when turning the wheels, it is bound to be the bearings. Can I buy new bearings and jaunt replace
i don't know
Old video but I’m doing this now. How do I know how tight to turn the locking nut over the bearing?
Worked, thank you for your help sir!
I just put a belt on a 2015 Ford F-150 after I got the belt on I spun it back and forth and noticed the belt wanted to run off when I turned it in One Direction any other it would do the opposite it would run to the back can't find anything wrong everything seems good any ideas?
The only thing that comes to mind is the belt tension. Is it tight enough?
Seems like the tighter I got it the more it wanted to run off I put a little tension on it not too much put it back together seems to be working fine not sure how long it'll last
How did you get the purple grease on those bearings?
I just put it on with my finger.
You are the Boss, thank for showing how to do it step by step
Great job, 👍
Mr ken I’m writing this to you because I was having that very problem! And I saw your video and I remember that have a slide hammer and went on to make it fit mi vicegrips man I’m very grateful for you to post this video because I pulled that injector out no problem! Before that I tried many different methods non of them work! Thank you good bless you and your family!!!
Glad it helped
Lawn tractors wmcut the grass. Garden tractors work the soil.
Is there and lubing or greasing inside the rack?
No not really, I did apply some grease to hold the BBs in place after I messed up.
Once I got to belt I saw my plate that covered belt was snapped in the middle I removed it and as wheel was turning the rod out it went (clink)** now the rack rod is wiggling and it wasn’t before so I twisted off the gear and beads fell out 😅 wtf did I just do ? I saved all the beads belt is in tact just off now ..
Checkout part 4 on getting the BBs back in. It's not very hard to do.
Yes it works i did it without removing the unite.
Hello i fixed the power steering like you showed. :-) left it on the car it was cool thanks for saving me $$ i did not have. I still have a problem. in normal driving it with slight curves it is great but when turning corners it is still bucking and making grinding noise and kind of locking up. i am having a Power assist failure warning light. I also noticed that this unite was not original to the truck as it had a "chalk number" on it like in junk yard any help would be great.
Make sure the belt is plenty tight. I didnt get mine tight enough on my first try.
one other question the 2 big blots that hold the rack what are the head socket sizes you used please
@@akghoundwhere did you find the belts at?

You saved my bacon. Had one Autolite 1111 plug get stuck after threading out, didn't break thankfully. Who would have thought the screw threads in a Harbour Freight pliers were 1/4"-20 threads! Motorcraft ZD11's going back in. Thank you thank you. We old guys rule. Stan the Mann.

Puedes poner la parte 3 porfavor amigo
Good rail is rounded on the top, it reduces friction and allows the wheel sets to follow the rails. around cornors. Do a little research on 'rail and wheel' dynamics, it migh help you out. Nice rig. Your wheels are pretty narrow, so locking the 'stearing' is essential, otherwise the 'wheel set' will be forever derailing, because it can't maintain the gage.
Time and money wise, I'm thinking time to find an f150 in the junkyard and get the whole assembly rather than repair or rebuild this. (I'm a lazy old man) . This looks complicated with lots of room for errors. Great video!
Una pregunta estás cremalleras siempre tienen vida con el arreglo ??? O toca de ley cambiar por una nieva
What is the torque spec on the 2013 Ford f150 epas belt tensioner pulley?
Is there a follow up video
Yes. There is a part 10.
Hey Ken. My steering is out also, but I have been assuming that the problem is with the electronic circuit board. How did you decide it was a broken belt? Did you just tear into it and discover it? If not, I was wondering how you knew it wasn't an electrical problem. As far as I have been able to ascertain, nobody sells just the circuit board . Ford really raped us with this one and they should have been recalled.
I searched RUclips about the problem. Then went to a couple of repair shops, they both said it was the powersteering unit. When I got quotes on cost I figured I'd do more RUclips research where I stumbled upon a very short video about the belt. Keep in mind you do not need to remove the unit to replace the belt.
@@akghound Thanks very much Ken, for the swift response.
Use a pick tool to line the holes up first .
Nice shop.
Freakin awesome. Good ole American ingenunity. Thanks buddy.
Im building one with my nephew this winter .......
Right on!!
cool
You're living the life most of us can only dream of. Love the rail cart!

That entire wheel concept failed.
@@akghound 👍🏼
What did you use to get the tensioner tighter
Pry the tensioner with a screwdriver or something.
@@akghound thank you, I just got the belt out waiting on the new one Wednesday. Thanks for these videos they’ve been very helpful
I pulled the cover off today, belt appeared to be good. I’m off to the dealer.
Humm, let me know what you find.
@@akghound $2700.00 @ dealer to replace rack & pinion.
@@stevetodd306 Yikes!! That's what I found too.
@@stevetodd306 Did you figure out what is wrong with it?
When you remove the cover is there fluid in there? I’m about to remove boot & cover just to see if belt is broken before I go any further. Thanks
No fluids.
No fluids.
What are the symptoms of a bad belt?
An early symptom is squealing when you try to turn past the stop, max left or right. Another is a jerking sensation on the steering wheel as you turn. Lastly is the entire loss of powersteering assistance..
Where do I get the belt
My 2013 f150 steering is starting chirping/screaming sound when turning left when not moving and full lock. Then the lights on the dash go crazy. Is this a belt slip?
Sure could be, can't say for certain.
@@akghound I would hate to have to buy a whole rack. Ford could have done a better job for sure. When the problem happens it's only when I'm not moving. Which would be max effort needed to turn the tires. The steering wheel feels like it jumps at the same time making the very audible sound.
Before mine finally broke it made bad noises at max left or max right turns. Then it started making noise when not rolling. My theory is the belt stretches a little to start off and finally breaks.
@@jasonc6962 I went to two different shops for estimates on fixing it. Both wanted to replace the entire steering box for something like $2700 plus labor.
@@akghound thank you for your information, I will look into this a bit more.
Was the belt broken or stretched?
It was broken.
You think you should put new ball bearing in since you are there a micromitor guage would be good to check seeing they replace so easy as in that you are there would you use a old bearing in the wheel is easy and carefree ,comes to mind it is ford bearings ,,,,,not worth the risk and type of bearing grease ,oil ,or even coating as in Teflon in this new teck ,,,,,any comment as I have worked with ford before and it's the little things that make you say I should check well or let the dealer do this one
It's been working flawlessly for several thousand miles now. Even through some severe sub zero weather. I'm sure all is well.
@@akghound cool low miles then how many before that belt wore out ??
@@rodolphedrolet6994 I'm not sure about the milage at breakdown but would estimate at least 25000 on the repair.
@@akghound wow that not many miles fixing no warranty on that one then
Keep up the good work

Hey Ken . I loved your video. My trucks been down for months, but now, I might have a chance thanks to you. I'm in motion to pick my truck up from the shop that she been at since November ($1500):(. I am pretty sure her belt is broke! only the incredible hulk can drive her ! I have to trailer it bcuz it's like so so hard to turn. Do I need to get Moore parts other than the belt .. I looked at your link an I saw the belt for sale an then I saw a different kit with the bearings an seals !Don't I just need the gasket for the belt caseinh t??? Are there any others I may need??
Hi Justin. All you really need is the belt and some quality RTV.

Fantastic tip! Thank you for sharing!
I'm about to change my glowplugs. I'm going to build this little tool before I even start. Thank ya sir.
Does that idler adjust or just tight it down? Eccentric?
It does adjust. The belt actually has to be quite tight.
How do you keep the ball bearings from falling out? Is there something that should not be removed?? Great information 👍🙏🙏🙏🙏
Do not take that part of it apart!!! Oops, you already did, so did I! Fortunately I didn't loose any bearings and one by one got them all back in. I packed them in grease while reinstalling them.
Sounds like you need the correct belt length for your application.
The next length longer is too long.
