Yep. I got a 1992 f150. Previous owner obviously hit something since front bumper damage. Wasn't starting good. I got a used started and battery and she fired up no prob. Ended up trading for an 01 blazer now I kinda wish I just kept the dam thing.
To Ford's credit, right around 2013-2018ish they curb stomped the old engineer and hired a new guy that made everything with mechanics in mind. My '15 Ford Edge is the easiest thing I've ever worked on, legitimately. Rear struts are three bolts, oil change only requires one socket for the oil filter housing, drain plug comes out with fingers. To service the brakes, you put the rear brakes into "maintenance mode" which actually physically winds the brake piston shut for you, so you can press them closed with your fingers to install your new pads. Legitimately amazing. But then that dude wasn't making them any money so they gave him the old yeller treatment and hired the old guy again because 2019+ Fords are back to the same old shenanigans.
@@PatientXero607 I think you've got the revised 3.5 where the water pump no longer sits behind the timing chain. If it does though, RIP. The PTU is a very valid worry, but just keep changing the fluid out every two oil changes and you'll be fine. I did that and the first change or two of fluid came out seriously dirty and horrible. Now the fluid always comes out clean.
Really enjoyed this. Don't change anything. It was like hanging out with a mate while he works on his truck. And I didn't know changing bearings could be an "engine in" job.
Appreciate it. Yeah I've changed bearings with the engine in on three separate vehicles, usually rod bearings are the first thing to wear out so it's a good way to get more miles out of an engine
@@HatersGarage Have you considered allowing people to become channel members? I've only been following your antics since the true dual exhaust videos but your style in this genre feels truly unique and I'd love the opportunity to contribute towards your growth on the platform.

Very shortly after leaving my work there is a stop light with no turn on red, 3 right turning lanes (90 degrees) that feeds directly into a 5 apex S turn (it’s winding under bridges) with a 45 climbing to 55mph limit (technically limit goes up after final turn, but there is no where in there for a cop to lurk, so I read that as starting at 55). To my knowledge, it’s the highest speed limit direct from a crossing stop light in my city (probably because it’s the last light heading out of the city). I went back to the factory exhaust on my little ‘14 Veloster to make it sound more like a wimpy little 4 banger for the express purpose of reving “aggressively” at the ridiculous lifted V8 pavement Princess pickups people drive and think they’re in some sort of performance automotive masterpiece. Light change, take off. Without fail, they are leaned over practically on their doors by the second apex. Power doesn’t matter if you can’t put it down. 🤷♂️ I haven’t seen any of them wreck yet, about 18 months on. But I have seen a few bits and bobs in their suspensions let go and flop. Meanwhile, I’ve gotten my frame supports and suspension upgrades dialed in to allow for a 0-70 dig through the starting 90 & first 3 apexes that’s just shy of the straight line time.
Makes me miss the days of finding a $300 Honda that just needed a power steering pump to run flawlessly for another 100k miles lol. Hell I worked at a grocery store with a guy, we were buddies and he rolled his Xterra... me and some others pitched in and we got him a car for $800 that needed no work. It wouldn't pass inspection after 3 years, the rust on it was pretty bad, but that's still only $270 a year for a car that never needed anything but gas and a few oil changes. The damn insurance even at $40 a month was more than the car after 3 years!
Bought a car from a dealership and somewhat hit me and insurance declared it a total loss. I already have it rebuilt just waiting on paperwork. In the meantime I found an old ford escort for $400. Trans cooler lines had a hole In it so I replaced the section with rubber hose. You won’t find them without issues but you can find them.
Love to see someone who really knows what they are doing. If you're not getting paid full time for content creation, what are you waiting for... This video should be part of a series. What a great story on this rebuild. I hope you never leave youtube.
Overall my favorite video from this video, the complicated ford design, the issues it's been having, and you fixing it, this video definitely inspires me to become a mechanic.
I did this same thing with a 07 expedition, people love to give up on them, one timing kit later and its been running ,driving, and towing for 3 yrs now. Good stuff and keep up the good work!!
The 03 is probably the best year for one of those. Last year of the 2v, not counting 04 heritage or econoline vans, and I've never had one that new spit plugs out. Mostly 00 and earlier. The timing is also pretty easy to do, relatively speaking.
@@HatersGarage It'll do it. You'll be getting 7mpg the whole time, but it'll do it. Those expeditions are nice trucks, better than the tahoes in my opinion.
I love your content and I NEED to see more of this truck you should turn it into a saga love the humor and the way you explain things in a digestible way
Thanks for the reminder. I DO need to change my oil. Edit: maybe all the space ahead of the engine is to accommodate a V10, which Ford may have put in some of these. (Comment for the algorithm because this channel deserves a bump.)
The front fascia could have been used on multiple models, so it may have had a V10 behind it in many cases. This was before having a vehicle with a displacement above "grandpa's commuter" was required by EPA to ensure pedestrian deaths with their front bumper.
Just a tip! You will find even on newer expeditions that water will seep under the rocker pannels by the running board. and rust right thru really badly. Its best to take care of that asap. Otherwise nice video. Great resto! 👍
An ozone generator can be had for $52 on everybody's favorite online seller, if you put that in there and ran it for an hour it'd knock that funk right out of there. It's like keeping all your doors and windows down... for a YEAR lol. A lot of people badmouth ozone, and yeah, don't use it in your house, don't use the vehicle for a couple days after, it's not great for your lungs, but it absolutely destroys lingering odor. Obviously you need a pretty clean vehicle, but since you've done that part the ozone would really help.
Subbed. About 20 years ago, me and my dad did rod bearings in-car on my old '95 Camry. Bought it with high miles and it sounded like it had a knock. It was a good idea to replace them anyway but turned out that's just how 5S-FE's roll.
Chillest fucken vid ive seen. everything you say, I've said x10😂! it was like i was chillin' with you, changing everything out. Subbed man, keep up the content.
I dead ass thought you was my twin from a Ford expedition group in Facebook 🤣 mines an 04 built 03 and has the 2v 5.4 rusty AF but damn trusty. Be prepared for the brake hoses to start failing and seizing the brakes. Happened on the 04 and my 97 f150.
Awesome video, watching for the second time 👌 found this channel last night, binged all videos in a row. The chaos mixed with awesome work is a great combination, please keep doing what you do!
Easy fix for the sludge... add fresh oil, and a single can of Seafoam to the crank, drive for 300-500 miles, change oil again and you will see a huge difference. Maybe I missed it, but no new oil pump??? You're already in there and a HV Oil Pump from Melling gives you some piece of mind.
My dad bought an Expedition from my mom's friendfor $300 and it had over 300k miles, lasted us a good while, but the guy we sold it to ruined the engine, so my dad bought an engine from his friend, but never got to put it in, so now we have a v6 sitting in our polebarn, an old gas tank sitting around (my dad replaced the fuel tank) and a bitter dad (reason one because he put new tires on it, and reason two is because of the guy we sold it to) and we sent it to the junkyard RIP $300 Expedition
Great video, good watch while eating dinner! I've got a '97 Expy that I use to tow my E38 740iL around when it inevitably breaks down. Transmission Overdrive is broken (the snap ring issue is what I'm guessing) but it's been extremely reliable otherwise. Sat for 15 years before I brought it back to life. Started on the first crank with a new battery after all that time. 4.6L 2V V8 engine + 4R70W trans.
How you dont have more subs is beyond me, you are super entertaining man. Well done on this piece of trash 500 bucks banger. Like everything else the devil is in the details.
the main cause for the guides to explode is the tensioner seals blowing out and ford started using the plasic tensioners in late 02 but pre 02 mod motors didnt have those issues since they were iron tensioners and didnt have the issue
I really enjoyed this video! Looking forward to seeing future repairs. My family had a first gen Expedition and it clocked over 200k miles without many issues before it got totaled in am accident.
I enjoyed this man. Nice work!! I’m a big fan of the Modular triton engines. When maintained they’re tough. They don’t make a ton of power but many of them will run well over 300k. Also good thing you got the 4.6 2 valve as the 5.4 3V’s in them are REALLY problematic
Yeah the 4.6 2 valve is the good one, it's just that pesky spark plug thread issue. Since I'm using it to tow my car up mountains it's pretty likely I'll run into that problem
Got a new car and my mom listed my 02 Jetta with 150k miles and a 5 speed manual for $1000. Had a dead starter, blown vaccum lines, caving in headliner, bad power steering pump, heavily sun baked with a rust hole, and many other issues. She got about 60 hits in under 2 hours and we sold it by the end of the same day we listed it. Car market is ridiculous.
I'm 60 in October and I have always had to build my own ride's....I recently sold my pickup Betsy. It was like the Johnny Cash one piece at a time Cadillac.... And I actually done the exhaust on that Cadillac back in the day it was being built...

What the HECK? That door rust is in such a weird place?! I have never seen a car get a rust spot that's that deep right in the middle, I almost wonder if the paint got damaged really bad there back in 04 or something to have it rust that way. I grew up in the rust belt, december to march the road was covered with rock salt (pieces so big they looked like 50 karat diamonds on the road lol), a lot of them were tar and chipped too. The stones in the tar and chip got rid of your paint and undercoating, the boulder sized salt slush did the rest. We had multiple Fords when I was growing up, the rust usually started at body panels (fender areas pretty bad) and would expand all the way down the rocker panels in time. Corners of doors, lol I still remember friends with 300 dollar beaters that had door rust so bad the inner and outer skin wouldn't line up anymore.

I’m a Ford person. But I gotta agree with ya 😂
New rod bearings revs it to the moon 😂
It’s so hard to take off parts because Ford think they’re trucks are so tough they don’t need servicing 😂

What the HECK? That door rust is in such a weird place?! I have never seen a car get a rust spot that's that deep right in the middle, I almost wonder if the paint got damaged really bad there back in 04 or something to have it rust that way.
I grew up in the rust belt, december to march the road was covered with rock salt (pieces so big they looked like 50 karat diamonds on the road lol), a lot of them were tar and chipped too. The stones in the tar and chip got rid of your paint and undercoating, the boulder sized salt slush did the rest. We had multiple Fords when I was growing up, the rust usually started at body panels (fender areas pretty bad) and would expand all the way down the rocker panels in time. Corners of doors, lol I still remember friends with 300 dollar beaters that had door rust so bad the inner and outer skin wouldn't line up anymore.
I wish you lived around Maryland, I been seeing Lincoln in my area with belt issues but nobody wanna work on the cars
