    Been here since the beginning and your hard work and dedication to fixing things the right way still blows me away. I’m turning 40 this year and I wish I had half the skill that you do Vtune.

      Exactly I used to be terrified to mess with my vehicles mine you this was over 20 years ago. Now I would don't think twice of pulling out my transmission in the driveway if need be. As long as you put them back together the same way they came apart 9 times out of 10 that's all you need to know Obviously with some exceptions.

  • @davidferguson461
    @davidferguson461 11 месяцев назад +15

    Put some hose over the brake bleeder valve and put the other end in a old half bottle of brake fluid. That way when you let the brake peddle up it doesn't suck in air and you can bleed them by yourself.

    @bigphilswheels 11 месяцев назад +68

    This is what you're best at Ben. You seem inspired doing the quick rebuilds and you are noticeably happier working on them. Forget the big builds, they distract you too much and I think the channel will grow more this way. Good luck. P.s. You need a good tidy up around the garage!!😂😂

    Ben this was a great quick video . The exotic stuff is cool, but this is way more realistic for the backyard mechanic. You also did most of this by yourself. Teach us guys how to do it affordable and quick. Thank you

  • @terrallputnam7979
    @terrallputnam7979 11 месяцев назад +5

    I used to do the same thing Ben. I bought wrecks and rebuilt them for myself but wound up selling them to family for what I had in them, or gave them to family. God will bless you for helping family and friends with cars and trucks.

  • @mikehonda7934
    @mikehonda7934 11 месяцев назад +15

    My opinion to you, I’d fix and sell that Ford. The owner of the company I work for had the same truck. The turbos fail quite frequent, and the transmission is not good as well if it’s the 10 speed one. Just some things to inspect before you get to deep into the truck.

  • @rayboucher479
    @rayboucher479 11 месяцев назад +4

    If you bleed the brakes on your own just leave the bleed screw with a rubber line to a container with a little brake fluid and keep it submerged that way when you let your foot off the brake it will not draw air back into the line through the bleed but draw liquid from your container.

  • @gtchalie5038
    @gtchalie5038 11 месяцев назад +1

    Hey Ben you can bleed the brakes by yourself easy. Just put a small rubber tube on the bleeder screw/port and put it in a bottle on the ground. After you pump a few times the bottle fills a little and if the hose is at the bottom, the air comes out and will only suck fluid back. Or put a board on the brake pedal to hold it down while you tighten the bleeder screw. Done.

    @USAF99 11 месяцев назад +1

    It's amazing to me what insurance companies "total" on a vehicle. I have a feeling the owner was standing there during the assessment and might have had some say in the final outcome because that was an afternoon worth of work to get a perfectly good truck back on the road. Kudos to you for recognizing the simplicity and picking it up for what I can only assume was a decent price.

  • @Hanky_Bannist8r

    @dickdegraaff5452 11 месяцев назад

    Hi Ben,
    You’ve bought via an auction a not too bad Ford truck F 150 EcoBoost wreck what wasn’t too difficult to repair. After the wheels are lined and the truck has a new door at the driver’s side and all the small damages plus the replaced parts are painted nobody ever will see this truck was wrecked. I look forward to your next vlog and send you love from the Netherlands

  • @MrCrd783
    @MrCrd783 11 месяцев назад +1

    The leveling kit is at least a 3",that's why the ball joint angle is so bad. Just put stock struts in it, and drive the wheels off. The 2.7 is much more reliable than the 3.5.

  • @nikob829
    @nikob829 11 месяцев назад +2

    Just a thought why not just re-paint the whole truck since it's been in the sun and it most likely faded this way it's a fresh paint job all around and it's all the same color just a thought I'd share with you keep up the awesome work Venn...Niko in Arizona

    You need to get in touch with MPT down in Florida for a tune!!! You'll be surprised at what that truck can actually do. The Gen 2 2.7 (what you have) can run full e85 on the stock fuel system. You could surprise quite a few people who think that truck is slow😂

  • @colesims5570
    @colesims5570 11 месяцев назад

    Ben.
    That lift is the reason this truck was wrecked in the fist place. Without the proper control arms they are binding, causing the weakest link (the hub assembly) to break at the top. I would remove them immediately so it doesn’t happen again.

  • @terrallputnam7979

    Probably gonna need the scan tool to blow out ABS block. Bet there is air in it.

    • @VNAV_PTH
      @VNAV_PTH 11 месяцев назад

      @johnr9965 Yeah, my thought also. Bleeding the ABS/ESP pump might be necessary if it has gone dry. Very hard if not impossible without engaging the ABS or doing it with a scan tool with an ABS/ESP pump bleeding function. I've done both ways successfully but seriously recommend a tool that activates the ABS/ESP pump while opening the bleed nipples simultaneously while keeping an eye on the brake fluid container and topping it up at the same time because it runs out quickly. I have a brake bleeder tool connected to the reservoir that fills it up with brake fluid automatically when the brake fluid level goes down in the reservoir. Every shop should have such a tool.

    I’m a Ford technician and see those leveling kits all the time almost all of them nearly touch the springs. I really don’t like them cause they mess with the camber and pull the wheels farther into wheel well, they should be sticking out about an inch more than that. Also keep an eye on that oil pan. biggest issue on the 2.7l is the leaking oil pans

    Sweet, my neighbor has a beautiful 08' F-150 4dr Lariat that was barely wrecked on the front drivers corner. Just needs a fender & the bumper mount straightened out.
    I believe he bought it from under me for $600 from a Grandpa 1 owner & now, he's telling me that he's trying to get $35k for it, yeah, right. Has less than 100k miles, same color as this 1 but console shift. It's a beautiful truck that's just rotting in the sun because no one will pay what he's asking.
