I didn't have luck with AMSOIL power foam. I really like AMSOIL products but I had bad experience with this power foam. My mazda cx5 had only 38k miles and I used it for the first time I got P0421 catalytic converte related code and it wasn't going away. I tried cleared it multiple time and drove over 1k miles but that code was there and I heard rattling noise at idel over 3500 rpm. So I finally took it to mechanic and ended up replacing my catalytic converte. So be careful guys before using amsoil power foam. I had bad luck with. Thank you for the video man
Nice work, Rich. I didn't know about the AMSOIL Power Foam. I swear by AMSOIL P.I. because I've been using it for years. It's the only product of its kind that makes a noticeable improvement at the onset with a performance gain, as you report at the end. Between these products and persistent use of Shell V-Power, clean fuel and induction systems are attained.
I used power foam 40 years ago and it worked great. The old power foam foamed up much more. That dirt on the butterfly would have been gone in seconds with the old formula. I did a 76 Camaro with it and it smoked for 4 miles on the highway. I was an amsoil dealer from the late 70s to till 2002. The PI that they had 40 years ago was better and more concentrated.
I did the power foam on my Lincoln a couple of weeks ago & it really helped. My mpg went from 18 to 19.1 after the cleaning & running mmo in my fuel. You’ll see your engine will run better. My Lincoln filled my neighborhood up with smoke lol. I bet your running better now too.
I recommend when you coat your frame use a shop vaccume to blow/suck out anything inside of the frame, on top the frame, sitting in any cavities, and inside the cab sides. You would be suprised how much sand can get built up once you hit it with air. I also replace the factory cab hole tape with all weather gorilla tape. Spray inside the rockers then replace the tape, then spray the rest of the truck. Their are also welded supports that fill up with debris.
Happy Thanksgiving Rich! You can't go wrong with any of the products you demonstrated. We used BG MOA at the dealer I worked at. The Amsoil Power Foam really is a great product. Bearded Ford Tech recommended it and it really made an improvement.
We used to sell Amsoil in the early '90s and power foam ,back then, used to coat spark plugs. Ran it in my Honda and i had to swap my plugs out. Seems like it's better now thankfully.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and the fam Rich! Amsoil makes some really good stuff! Thanks for the Thanksgiving video, gave me something new to watch this morning!!!
Happy! Thanksgiving! Fella! Enjoy what your doing to your truck. I know it's just general maintenance but it nice to see a f150 getting some love! Alot of them are run into the ground.
When I used Berryman intake cleaner In my 08 Caddi the smoke happened while I was injecting it into throttle body, cured my hesitation, been 2 yrs now.
Hey man I’m really enjoying your videos on your new truck. I think I’m gonna try the throttle body spray on my 2015 5.0. I’m at 145,000 trouble free miles. I have a catch can on mine and I’ve never got more than 1 oz of oil from mine every 5,000 miles. I run marvel mystery oil or Berryman B12 through the tank every 5,000 miles, but I’d like to try the spray u did on this video just to see if I still have some build up. I know the 18-20 5.0 makes more power and everything, but it just seems like u never see much issues out of the 15-17 2nd gen 5.0 motors. Just seems those models didn’t get a lot of the issues the later gens got. Especially oil consumption. Really enjoying the new truck videos man 👍🏻 god bless and have a great thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving rich to you and your family. I really enjoyed the video on cleaning the throttle body very excellent video. Another excellent video put out by you and keep them coming God bless . 🏁 😎 🏁
Do you have any tips on how to deal with the rattle in the gen 3 coyote? I LOVE my truck but I can’t keep it much longer if I can’t get it fixed for a reasonable price. I’ll be going to a GM from now on.
would you use BG MOA with Amsoil oil? Also if I pull my snorkel off the throttle body and leave the MAFS connected it shouldn't set a code while I spray the Amsoil cleaner? 2018 GMC Sierra.
Happy Thanksgiving! Very good stuff, Rich. I use Amsoil Heavy Duty Metal Protector. Look into that when you're ready to coat your frame. I apply every 2 years. I prefer that over fluid film. They also have a great 2a lubricant. The engine flush is very good for the money. It's probably not as good as the full BG service. But there is a much different price point to be fair. If you're going to use the cans to coat your truck, I suggest 4-6. I'd go 6 on the safe side.
@Ford Boss Me that's what I used on half our vehicles. And Heavy duty metal protector on the other half. Similar results. Amsoil is just a little less messy. I like that cosmoline finished look when all is done. 👍
@@goldentrucker7921 I use the metal protector on the fleet vehicles. Got a few shorts on it. Good stuff. Engine flushed the whole fleet. Run amsoil in it. I am an amsoil dealer
@@BeardedFordTech nice. I use it on my semi trucks. And all of my personal vehicles. The engine flush is good stuff. I like the look when it dries on the frame.
You know the containers you use to spray brake cleaner from. Well, add B&G fuel additive into one of those containers and use to substitute for Amsoil Power Foam Intake/Valve Cleaner for better performance.
Happy thanksgiving Rich good content. Question I got the same year truck I feel as though my low fans are almost always on when I run my truck is that normal ? Operating temperature is normal not running hot or anything
Happy Thanksgiving, my man!! Little late in getting this out to you!! I can't explain it...the satisfaction of seeing all the junk come out of the tailpipe is so awesome!! You know, last week I picked up a can of the Sea Foam throttle body/upper cyl cleaner for my F250 6.2Lto do the same thing. I wish I'd waited. I've decided it's time to do the BG fuel system treatment. Question: are you going to change the oil next now that you've done the throttle body? If so, I'm sure ready to see that video! If you've answered that already, I apologize.
Be careful of that Seafoam. My understanding is that it has no business in modern engines because of damaging effects. And I've heard of Seafoam trashing perfectly good engines too.
@@discerningmind Thank you for the heads up! My guinea pig car is my big, fat '92 Buick Park Avenue!! This old 3.8 is as tough as nails! I'll give it a taste of it and see how it goes. I appreciate the help, though.
@@jefweb5043 If you wanted to reference it, the Seafoam warning was given a number of times on the channel, Scotty Kilmer. But I don't how you might find the episodes that he talked about Seafoam. Though you might see a listing for it by looking over his channel's home page. I've used BG fuel treatment and it's excellent, but pricey at about the $40 a can that I paid. I've used it twice and both times for the same issue with two different cars. They both had dead spots in the fuel gauge, and the BG fixed them both. I've been an AMSOIL customer for twenty-five years and I've never had a disappointment with any of their products. They're a company that doesn't fool around, everything that they make is excellent. If you start using their products, buying their Preferred Customer Membership works well as the membership price for every item is lower, and you won't see that lower price in any auto parts store. The Preferred Customer membership comes in one-year increments and the five-year membership saves you the most on membership. Also, you'll get their monthly magazine. But I'll forewarn you that you're not going to go through their web site in an hour or so. The web site is big, and they have every detail on every product. Their research papers are very informative. www.amsoil.com/
@@discerningmind great products ✅ Going too sign up now #Amsoil . Product like #BG Engine Flush awesome clean like new seen under valve covers was so clean .
On my 2016 throttle body was ticking I replaced it and added spacer and with cold air intake….oh yeah it was running much better But did try cleaning it before all that
Cold air intake are bad in the summer cause of the heat under the hood if you have cold air intake that draws cold air from fender or front grill fender well. ✅
People don't like running cleaners with turbos because they're afraid something's going to get loose and damage the turbo but if you don't clean it then you have build up if you do clean it you risk something dislodging so you're going to have to make that choice on your own
@@FordBossMe pretty much confirmed my suspicions. Maybe I’ll just stick with running the gas treatment and take the throttle body out to clean that it needed. Thank you.
@@MikeTango51 Since you said "Maybe" I'll stick my big nose into this. To me the safest answer is whatever is stated in the factory maintenance manual. And by sticking to that, it also covers you when the vehicle is under warrantee.
Hey Rich, I have used CRC intake/turbo cleaner through the brake booster feed going into the intake manifold just behind the TB on my 3.5 EB. You think that would work on the power foam?
as of maintenence, we see eye to eye.im really interested to see how many trouble free miles you end up getting on the truck.even the TC & merc.id bet the merc will still be running fine a decade after im dead, since milage was so low when you bought it.
Rich. Is MOA "OK" to Use on New 3.5 ECOBOOST Engine? Will it Cause Any Issues On a "NEW ENGINE" or Is it NOT Necessary? Like will it CLOG the OIL Feeds to the TURBOS and stuff Like the Phaser Solenoid's??
Is this something you’d recommend for my 2015 5.0? 120k miles. And what are your thoughts about adding a catch can after doing this? Ford performance makes one I believe
@@FordBossMe I’ll check it out! I have a super basic Autel scan tool, less high tech than the one in the video. Can I still reset what needs to be done when I clean my throttle body the way you did? I can clear codes but not sure how much further it can go
Nice vid, quick question; would a dirty throttle body cause P0172 and P0175 at the same time? Replaced the purge valve solenoid and the mass air flow sensor and still have the P0172 and P0175 codes but the codes of P2196 and 2198 are gone. Truck wouldn’t idle and would stall at stop lights or would die when letting off the throttle. It’s a 2013 F-150 with the 5.0L
@@FordBossMe thank you for the reply; P0172 is bank 1 system too rich and P0175 is bank 2 system too rich. I thought I would get the Ford guru’s expert opinion. The P2196 was bank 1 sensor 1 stuck rich and P2198 was bank 2 sensor 1 stuck rich. Those cleared when the MAF was replaced just have the P0172 and P0175 and the truck still smells rich
When I buy more oil from Amsoil I may pick up a few bottles of the P.I. I was thinking of trying Redlines fuel system cleaner but I heard they changed their formulation and it isn’t as good as what it once was. Only one way to find out I suppose.
Just came across this video do you remember how long you let it run for? I’ve also heard you should change your oil after doing this? Thank you in advance
amsoil power foam been around since mid 1980's. used it back then, but have not recently. I think it foamed up a little too much. Looks like the newer version not so much foam!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Rich. Years ago I had an Explorer with a slipping trans, dropped the pan and filled it with Lucus trans fix, stopped the slipping, drove the truck for a year and sold it. So I use Lucus products, but Iam sure the Amsoil products work, just don't like their sales approach
@@01Lightning I've been an AMSOIL customer for twenty-five years. I don't know what you're talking about. What sales speech? Who gave it? What's the basis of it? As far as Rich goes, if there's something wrong, he would want to know about it.
I would like to use the Amsoil Power Foam the way you did it, but when I remove my air intake assembly to my throttle body, the truck wants to die. Probably a 2003 computer emissions thingy.
Boss I've been having trouble with my 2017 Ford F150 V6 3.5L N/A, sometimes it will crank longer than usual before starting. I have a brand new battery. It happens in the middle of the day, not during cold starts. Could it be a dirty throttle body ?
I have an 18 with the 5.0, about 130k, and I am getting what I believe is speak knock/detonation at lower rpm, most commonly right after a shift point. And if it matters, I do have quite a bit of oil consumption (~4 qts per 5,000 miles). Would doing the foam treatment help with spark knock? I’ve read that deposits on the valves could be a cause for the detonation, which I’m sure I have dirty valves with as much oil as my truck eats. Appreciate any advice!
@@FordBossMe I bought the truck at 90k about 18 months ago, found out how much oil it was using when I did my first oil change, yikes. Talked to a Ford dealer about it and they said it was “normal” and within the acceptance level. Which I thought was crazy. I’ve seen there is a TSB to help with the oil consumption, but have seen mixed reviews on the effectiveness so have been hesitant of doing it. I’m still interested in doing the foam treatment/Seafoam or the BG induction version to clean out some of it. It wouldn’t hurt, would it?
2014 Ford escape transmission failure. What to know, if possible? Neighbors stopped on highway, does not display check transmission light. Happy Thanksgiving.
Honestly I think it's the 6f35 transmission and that typically is a pretty good transmission so there's no telling what it could be there's no common symptom there batteries and grounds are key
Questions:1. What product did you use to dress up engine compartment? Made black plastic items look new. 2. How many cans of Amsoil throttle body cleaner did it take to complete cleaning of TB?
2004 chevy silverado 2500hd diesel, im getting squeaking from the front during steering and when i drive over stuff. I suspect all the bushings and ball joints are shot or on their way out. Any thoughts?
Hey man, been watching you for some time and to be fair you changed my opinion in some things. One of them was engine warm up. Now I only do 30 second than drive normal. I been around for some time I had car from the 70’s . Is very easy to be stuck in the past. But you are right. On new cars and oil is no longer needed. Now to get to my question: Please answer me this as you are proper trained in Ford. I bought a new Ford Transit, is on order will arrive in 2 months. Engine is 2.0 eco boost with 6 speed automatic. The limited version with all the stuff. Please be so kind and tell me, should I do a 1 or 2000 mile oil change as a brake in than every 5k or just 5 k ? Is this brake in still a thing or i am too old. 😅 I am thinking that I payed 50k for this car, if I do it I lose 100 gbp. Clean oil will not harm it. Thats for sure. But if there is no point well than … Also gear box 30 k ? Oil change or that need brake in too ? I payed a lot and very hard for this van. I need to look after it. Is my work car. Im a dairy engineer. Thanks a lot for your videos. Very useful. Looking forward to read your advice.
@@FordBossMe i do like 80% highway and with only a third of the spec load in the van. I carry tools. Also I do not drive like a maniac, i go gentle on it. But still you are right 5k max. 2 litre engine is a bit undersized for such a big van. Need good clean oil to last. 👍 totally agree. Clean oil never hurt an engine. Will complete disregard dealership advice with their 25000 miles. ( bunch of crap lies )
@@mihairadupop2491 Are you saying that the dealership is telling you, not to change the factory fill engine oil until you reach 25,000 miles??? What does your owner's or maintenance manual state?
@@discerningmind we have 3 ford custom 2.0 eco boost in the company. They all had 25k oil changes as thats what dealer does. They are lease cars so we do not do oil change. If the engine blow up we do not care as they replace the car . They change oil at the 25k , van goes in to the dealership for it. They do all repairs under the lease contract. So, 1 van turbo died at 80k, second van that i drove turbo died at 110k, third van whistle like hell has 60k . I drive now a replacement van. Look, vans are grate, i love the van, this one has 20k. But poor oil change kills them. I bought my own now as is better for me to pull the expense. I do not want their service package. Is crap. I do not know what manual say. Why you think i been asking this man who fixes engines and looks like he is well qualified at his job.
You have to explain more about that to me or give me a number to go off of a campaign number you can't just say something like that and expect me to know what you're talking about
Happy Thanksgiving. Rich check out the open box items you are interested in. The fender liners for the 2015 have pictures and look perfect for $75. Also a 3” front and rear leveling kit also has pictures and look perfect. As a bonus today they are offering a special code “openbox20” for an additional 20% off. I got a thermostatic 25 row mishimoto oil cooler, the remaining 3 33” Mickey Thompson Baja Tires and a 4” rear lift all for less that $1000!
@@FordBossMe I’ve gotten lucky so far. After the TSB and switching to Royal Purple it hasn’t used any oil. I just hope no damage was done when it was using a 1/2 quart every 5k before I switched oil.
@FordBossMe I have a very delayed throttle response I have to stomp on it to downshift ans get gone..... I hope cleaning intake/throttle body will help or fix this issue. 2016 F150 5.0 4x4 136k miles
Yeah, Scotty doesn’t seem to like Ford very much. he really seems to be leaning toward EVs. Did he mention that out of the 3.2 million Teslas sold to date there’s over 2 million total recalls (total issues) on them? Probably not… 19 different types of recalls this year alone. I hope you get my point.
This was great. I’m a big fan of Lucas gas additive. I find it makes a noticeable difference especially when I note the exhaust starting to smell a bit funky (switching to only premium fuel in my 2.0 cured most of that tho) Does that TB cleaner also help clean the top of the valves in a GDI? Is the oil additive Ford warranty safe? Thanks for this. Happy thanksgiving from Canada

@@davidwilson705 Goodness dude do some research. Are you reposting to get a response or is this a glitch on your part? What you are probably referring to is a MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR.

Try pulling a battery cable negative Terminal for like 5 minutes and then put it back or drive down the AutoZone and ask them to clear it tell them what you did with the cleaner
That's a lot of fluid and time to intentionally rinse 1/3 of the perimeter of the butterfly valve of a throttle body - before removing it from the vehicle to fithat can be remived with tonish cleaning it. If a goal is to clean things downstream of the throttle body, it would be better to clean the throttle body off-engine first, then feed the remaining content through the clean throttle body as fast as possible with the engine running. I've gotten good results 100% on-vehicle using a light brush and much less fluid with the engine off, but it requires a way to safely open the valve, which may not be possible on some vehicles. Some throttle bodies have a metallic lubricating coating around the pivot points to resist binding and sticking that can be removed with too much rubbing. btw, Smelling a burned product that is a known carcinogen isn't a good idea.
I think you need to keep watching because you let your mouth overload your ass and didn't watch the video all the way through and you'll see that I pull the throttle body off and continue cleaning with any of the residual stuff that's left on there but I guess because people like to jump the gun and say things before they know what the hell's going on this is the typical subpar commentary you should expect from commenters on the internet all of them are f****** azzhats

I've used BG fuel treatment and it's excellent, but pricey at about the $40 a can that I paid. I've used it twice and both times for the same issue with two different cars. They both had dead spots in the fuel gauge, and the BG fixed them both.
I've been an AMSOIL customer for twenty-five years and I've never had a disappointment with any of their products. They're a company that doesn't fool around, everything that they make is excellent. If you start using their products, buying their Preferred Customer Membership works well as the membership price for every item is lower, and you won't see that lower price in any auto parts store. The Preferred Customer membership comes in one-year increments and the five-year membership saves you the most on membership. Also, you'll get their monthly magazine. But I'll forewarn you that you're not going to go through their web site in an hour or so. The web site is big, and they have every detail on every product. Their research papers are very informative.

Is it me or do those F150s have a lot of condensation in the exhaust. My Dads 01 F150 5.4 liter doesn't have as much as my 10 4.6 liter F150
On my 2016 throttle body was ticking
I replaced it and added spacer and with cold air intake….oh yeah it was running much better
But did try cleaning it before all that
Cold air intake are bad in the summer cause of the heat under the hood if you have cold air intake that draws cold air from fender or front grill fender well. ✅
Any issues running any of these with the 2.7eco?? Thanks for the always great content
People don't like running cleaners with turbos because they're afraid something's going to get loose and damage the turbo but if you don't clean it then you have build up if you do clean it you risk something dislodging so you're going to have to make that choice on your own
@@FordBossMe pretty much confirmed my suspicions. Maybe I’ll just stick with running the gas treatment and take the throttle body out to clean that it needed. Thank you.
@@MikeTango51 Since you said "Maybe" I'll stick my big nose into this. To me the safest answer is whatever is stated in the factory maintenance manual. And by sticking to that, it also covers you when the vehicle is under warrantee.
Hey Rich, I have used CRC intake/turbo cleaner through the brake booster feed going into the intake manifold just behind the TB on my 3.5 EB. You think that would work on the power foam?
RICH. Have you ever Tried or Heard of this TVT GREEN Engine Oil Additive????? Or do ya know what this stuff is?
I think I have seen it but I don't know what it is to be honest with you
@@FordBossMe TVT GREEN on RUclips, Check it out, See what you Think??? I "wonder" what's in the Stuff??
as of maintenence, we see eye to eye.im really interested to see how many trouble free miles you end up getting on the truck.even the TC & merc.id bet the merc will still be running fine a decade after im dead, since milage was so low when you bought it.
Oh yes it'll be around awhile
Rich. Is MOA "OK" to Use on New 3.5 ECOBOOST Engine? Will it Cause Any Issues On a "NEW ENGINE" or Is it NOT Necessary? Like will it CLOG the OIL Feeds to the TURBOS and stuff Like the Phaser Solenoid's??
All engines it's OK with
So you have to use the whole can?
Is this something you’d recommend for my 2015 5.0? 120k miles.
And what are your thoughts about adding a catch can after doing this? Ford performance makes one I believe
Ehhh I like BG 44K better find it on Amazon and Ebay
@@FordBossMe I’ll check it out!
I have a super basic Autel scan tool, less high tech than the one in the video. Can I still reset what needs to be done when I clean my throttle body the way you did? I can clear codes but not sure how much further it can go
Nice vid, quick question; would a dirty throttle body cause P0172 and P0175 at the same time? Replaced the purge valve solenoid and the mass air flow sensor and still have the P0172 and P0175 codes but the codes of P2196 and 2198 are gone. Truck wouldn’t idle and would stall at stop lights or would die when letting off the throttle. It’s a 2013 F-150 with the 5.0L
What's the meaning of those codes?
@@FordBossMe thank you for the reply; P0172 is bank 1 system too rich and P0175 is bank 2 system too rich. I thought I would get the Ford guru’s expert opinion. The P2196 was bank 1 sensor 1 stuck rich and P2198 was bank 2 sensor 1 stuck rich. Those cleared when the MAF was replaced just have the P0172 and P0175 and the truck still smells rich
When I buy more oil from Amsoil I may pick up a few bottles of the P.I. I was thinking of trying Redlines fuel system cleaner but I heard they changed their formulation and it isn’t as good as what it once was. Only one way to find out I suppose.
P.I. And BG 44K are best on the market
It looks like it works better than the Mopar combustion chamber cleaner!
Happy Thanksgiving brother!! 🦃🍗
It really does
Can you take your hand and open the throttle plate on that 50 engine without any damage to throttle positioning
With engine off yes
You seen me do it here lol....i wouldnt have done it if it would have damaged it
Just came across this video do you remember how long you let it run for? I’ve also heard you should change your oil after doing this? Thank you in advance

@@FordBossMe would this be effective on a 2018 5.0 with direct injection?
amsoil power foam been around since mid 1980's. used it back then, but have not recently. I think it foamed up a little too much. Looks like the newer version not so much foam!
Happy Thanksgiving..
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Rich. Years ago I had an Explorer with a slipping trans, dropped the pan and filled it with Lucus trans fix, stopped the slipping, drove the truck for a year and sold it. So I use Lucus products, but Iam sure the Amsoil products work, just don't like their sales approach
Lucas Fuel Injector Cleaner is like Child's Play compared to the Amsoil Cleaners Honestly
What do you mean, not liking their sales approach? Am I missing something about AMSOIL?
@@discerningmind research and listen to the sales speech.....This is Richs channel and I have too much respect for him to say anymore here
@@01Lightning I've been an AMSOIL customer for twenty-five years. I don't know what you're talking about. What sales speech? Who gave it? What's the basis of it?
As far as Rich goes, if there's something wrong, he would want to know about it.
How much is that stuff? I have a am soil account
I would like to use the Amsoil Power Foam the way you did it, but when I remove my air intake assembly to my throttle body, the truck wants to die. Probably a 2003 computer emissions thingy.
Well you have a mass air flow, in 2015 Ford on the trucks the got away from that so it's easy on mine
@@FordBossMe Oh ok, I figured it was something like that. Thanks for the response!
Boss I've been having trouble with my 2017 Ford F150 V6 3.5L N/A, sometimes it will crank longer than usual before starting. I have a brand new battery. It happens in the middle of the day, not during cold starts. Could it be a dirty throttle body ?
It could be Hey Dirty throttle body but it could be other things as well it would all be speculation if I just started throwing things at you
@@FordBossMe I'll try cleaning the throttle body, hopefully that will help
Would this be good to do for my 2011 3.5 EB? Looked like it worked great!
This is debatable, some say no on an ecoboost but how else are you going to clean anything?
Happy thanksgiving...btw, Got the 1st like
Beautiful
I have an 18 with the 5.0, about 130k, and I am getting what I believe is speak knock/detonation at lower rpm, most commonly right after a shift point. And if it matters, I do have quite a bit of oil consumption (~4 qts per 5,000 miles).
Would doing the foam treatment help with spark knock? I’ve read that deposits on the valves could be a cause for the detonation, which I’m sure I have dirty valves with as much oil as my truck eats.
Appreciate any advice!
I was replacing those engines with that much consumption
They are prone to all bad
Wont help
Ill make a video on this comment
@@FordBossMe I bought the truck at 90k about 18 months ago, found out how much oil it was using when I did my first oil change, yikes. Talked to a Ford dealer about it and they said it was “normal” and within the acceptance level. Which I thought was crazy.
I’ve seen there is a TSB to help with the oil consumption, but have seen mixed reviews on the effectiveness so have been hesitant of doing it.
I’m still interested in doing the foam treatment/Seafoam or the BG induction version to clean out some of it. It wouldn’t hurt, would it?
Rich! How do you get 23 mpg in a V8?? My parents can’t even get 18 in their 15 F150 3.5 Ecoboost.

2014 Ford escape transmission failure. What to know, if possible? Neighbors stopped on highway, does not display check transmission light. Happy Thanksgiving.
Honestly I think it's the 6f35 transmission and that typically is a pretty good transmission so there's no telling what it could be there's no common symptom there batteries and grounds are key
Thanks for sharing sir!
Wonder where to buy the product from

Is that plastic gear in the throttle body better/reliable? Is that normal
Normal yes reliable I don't know probably
@@FordBossMe looks similar to a steering wheel adjuster motor and those plastic things suck
Happy TG. Be safe
Thanks, you too!
How does amsoil compare to the bg fuel induction kit
The bg kit does stuff no other cleaner will do
@@FordBossMe I’ve used whole system and works great first time.
I’ve seen it on OfferUp months back for $50 for the kit so also look on Mercari ✅
Do the amsoil products contain polyether amine like BG?
Not sure
Questions:1. What product did you use to dress up engine compartment? Made black plastic items look new. 2. How many cans of Amsoil throttle body cleaner did it take to complete cleaning of TB?
I can
Exterior vehicle wax
@@FordBossMe brand, please? Paste or spray on
2004 chevy silverado 2500hd diesel, im getting squeaking from the front during steering and when i drive over stuff. I suspect all the bushings and ball joints are shot or on their way out.
Any thoughts?
Start spraying individual joints or filling with grease and seeing if you can get it to go away
Hey man, been watching you for some time and to be fair you changed my opinion in some things. One of them was engine warm up. Now I only do 30 second than drive normal. I been around for some time I had car from the 70’s . Is very easy to be stuck in the past. But you are right. On new cars and oil is no longer needed.
Now to get to my question:
Please answer me this as you are proper trained in Ford.
I bought a new Ford Transit, is on order will arrive in 2 months. Engine is 2.0 eco boost with 6 speed automatic. The limited version with all the stuff.
Please be so kind and tell me, should I do a 1 or 2000 mile oil change as a brake in than every 5k or just 5 k ? Is this brake in still a thing or i am too old. 😅
I am thinking that I payed 50k for this car, if I do it I lose 100 gbp. Clean oil will not harm it. Thats for sure.
But if there is no point well than …
Also gear box 30 k ? Oil change or that need brake in too ?
I payed a lot and very hard for this van. I need to look after it. Is my work car. Im a dairy engineer.
Thanks a lot for your videos. Very useful. Looking forward to read your advice.
1k oil change and every 5k max after
@@FordBossMe i do like 80% highway and with only a third of the spec load in the van. I carry tools. Also I do not drive like a maniac, i go gentle on it.
But still you are right 5k max. 2 litre engine is a bit undersized for such a big van. Need good clean oil to last. 👍 totally agree. Clean oil never hurt an engine. Will complete disregard dealership advice with their 25000 miles. ( bunch of crap lies )
@@mihairadupop2491 Are you saying that the dealership is telling you, not to change the factory fill engine oil until you reach 25,000 miles??? What does your owner's or maintenance manual state?
@@discerningmind we have 3 ford custom 2.0 eco boost in the company.
They all had 25k oil changes as thats what dealer does. They are lease cars so we do not do oil change. If the engine blow up we do not care as they replace the car . They change oil at the 25k , van goes in to the dealership for it. They do all repairs under the lease contract.
So, 1 van turbo died at 80k, second van that i drove turbo died at 110k, third van whistle like hell has 60k .
I drive now a replacement van.
Look, vans are grate, i love the van, this one has 20k. But poor oil change kills them.
I bought my own now as is better for me to pull the expense. I do not want their service package. Is crap.
I do not know what manual say. Why you think i been asking this man who fixes engines and looks like he is well qualified at his job.
Off topic on this video so are you going to talk about the recall craked fuel injection
You have to explain more about that to me or give me a number to go off of a campaign number you can't just say something like that and expect me to know what you're talking about
power foam?
Happy Thanksgiving.
Rich check out the open box items you are interested in. The fender liners for the 2015 have pictures and look perfect for $75. Also a 3” front and rear leveling kit also has pictures and look perfect. As a bonus today they are offering a special code “openbox20” for an additional 20% off. I got a thermostatic 25 row mishimoto oil cooler, the remaining 3 33” Mickey Thompson Baja Tires and a 4” rear lift all for less that $1000!
Shipped free
be careful sometimes thing like bumpers don’t have important brackets and they simply say missing hardware. A picture says 1000 words.
Where can I get the moa?
Would you recommend this on a Gen 3? I’m at 24k and want to do some sort of carbon treatment
Yes this would work on a gen 3 and it might even help actually because the Gen 3 like to consume oil
@@FordBossMe I’ve gotten lucky so far. After the TSB and switching to Royal Purple it hasn’t used any oil. I just hope no damage was done when it was using a 1/2 quart every 5k before I switched oil.
Can this be done without having to clear engine code? Really dont like having a shop do it when I can do it all besides the removing code.
Just all depends how slow you pour it in, the slower the least chance you have of getting a code
@FordBossMe I have a very delayed throttle response I have to stomp on it to downshift ans get gone..... I hope cleaning intake/throttle body will help or fix this issue. 2016 F150 5.0 4x4 136k miles
@FordBossMe Bg moa...does this need to be poured in prior to new oil or after oil change? Just had it changed...
Scotty Kilmer made one of those documentary type videos about ford and their recalls yesterday
Scotty Kilmer is a idiot...just my opinion
Scotty "Dingus" Kilmer
Scotty is a moron on everything
Forget About Kilmer
Yeah, Scotty doesn’t seem to like Ford very much. he really seems to be leaning toward EVs.
Did he mention that out of the 3.2 million Teslas sold to date there’s over 2 million total recalls (total issues) on them? Probably not…
19 different types of recalls this year alone. I hope you get my point.
This was great. I’m a big fan of Lucas gas additive. I find it makes a noticeable difference especially when I note the exhaust starting to smell a bit funky (switching to only premium fuel in my 2.0 cured most of that tho)
Does that TB cleaner also help clean the top of the valves in a GDI?
Is the oil additive Ford warranty safe?
Thanks for this.
Happy thanksgiving from Canada
Yes it cleans the top of the valves when you spray it through the throttle body.
Lucas is child's play compared to amsoil
@@FordBossMe yeah you got to use a lot of Lucas to see results.

So if I use the throttle cleaner and my check engine light comes on how can it be reset if I don't own a scanner.
Try pulling a battery cable negative Terminal for like 5 minutes and then put it back or drive down the AutoZone and ask them to clear it tell them what you did with the cleaner
Thanks man
You're welcome!
That's a lot of fluid and time to intentionally rinse 1/3 of the perimeter of the butterfly valve of a throttle body - before removing it from the vehicle to fithat can be remived with tonish cleaning it. If a goal is to clean things downstream of the throttle body, it would be better to clean the throttle body off-engine first, then feed the remaining content through the clean throttle body as fast as possible with the engine running. I've gotten good results 100% on-vehicle using a light brush and much less fluid with the engine off, but it requires a way to safely open the valve, which may not be possible on some vehicles. Some throttle bodies have a metallic lubricating coating around the pivot points to resist binding and sticking that can be removed with too much rubbing. btw, Smelling a burned product that is a known carcinogen isn't a good idea.
I think you need to keep watching because you let your mouth overload your ass and didn't watch the video all the way through and you'll see that I pull the throttle body off and continue cleaning with any of the residual stuff that's left on there but I guess because people like to jump the gun and say things before they know what the hell's going on this is the typical subpar commentary you should expect from commenters on the internet all of them are f****** azzhats
Of course it fired right up, it's a Ford
