The way you care about doing the Ranger as a way to honor your gram makes this one of my favorite builds.
Sarah: The fact that you do an entire episode dedicated to brackets, hoses, sensors and wires is EXACTLY why many of us come here. Please keep doing this, and disregard more flimsy or less thorough RUclips trends.
This. This channel shows what it’s really like to do a car project.
Totally agree Espen, Sarah doesn't do anything half ass like so many RUclipsrs that constantly put out content just to put out videos.
Pointless
Yes yes exactly. I second this. Haha
Exactly, love the miscellaneous bits. Like Sarah says, no one else films this.
I bet, when Sarah retired from USAF they had to recruit a whole new platoon of technicians just to replace her alone. Simply imagine what her performance was when she didn't have to record and edit videos. I even suspect they had to break stuff on purpose just to keep Sarah busy.
Yeah… if only politicians like her could get elected and stick around. Straight up no BS.
@@byronlemay2166 yeah, I guess they're too honest and get destroyed by opposition or they're just disgusted by the political world. Maybe they also don't make any promises they can't hold and that's why they don't get to be known as much as others.
Your attention to detail is why makes your channel awesome. It’s a restoration to be proud of.
Maybe I'm a weirdo, but the "boring detailed stuff" is a good 80% of the reason I watch your channel. The other 20% is quality penguin and robot content.
🤣
The boring, detail stuff is 80% of any rebuild project, let's be honest.
Gotta say I've been missing the robot.
Please keep showing us the stuff others do not. It's one of my favorite parts of your channel.
Great work Sarah. Your grandma would be proud of you. Also, the "boring part" is one of the main reasons I watch your channel. The others would be your talent, knowledge, your funny and very interesting car reviews.
I love your quirkiness and the occasional innuendo. And I really admire your patience you have way more than I would in this situation!
Sarah is the epitome of innuendo personified.
This is an impressive restoration for one person to do in such a quick timescale. Let alone all of the other content. Looking forward to more Audi updates at some point
There’s a bunch of Audi stuff coming, I had stuff custom fabricated from scratch for it, so it took a while!
@@SarahnTuned Attention to detail so impressive on this. That car could be used as a movie prop or a Ford advert.
@@SarahnTuned get EBC greenstuff brake pads for the Audi, they do wonders for stopping power, also braided brake hoses. The set up is very similar to the one on my S2 and that is like night and day after the, not that expensive, swap.
Sarah you work too hard.
Your painstaking attention to detail doesn't just help you put cars together Sarah, it helps us too. Keep it up. :)
I actually enjoy the miscellaneous assembly more than RoadNTrack aka Speed network "sparks everywhere" footage from the run of the mill big macho shows. Good job with your gram's truck... and yes, you blink and day is gone, a sign of a well spent day!
I enjoy watching you do all the little things that make a vehicle. It is so cool how much detail you go through to make something right. Your comments through out the video really make my day, they always leave me smiling or laughing.
Not sure many of us can actually say we disassembled an entire truck and reassembled it again. When every bolt and nut comes of, that is disassembled to the utmost! Bravo young lady, Bravo!
Impressive as always!! My wife and I love watching your video's very detailed. Thanks for tackling this stuff with humor, I couldn't imagine how hard it is to make a living doing what you do, but I'm glad you do!
From a Mainer. I think it's awesome that you drove it all the way home, instead of trailering it. Digging all the builds. Keep up the great work.
Your attention to detail is the only thing better than your sense of humor. I'm so glad I am thinking about buying a '25 Trax and I came to YT looking for a review where I found you.
The details you film are exactly why we love this channel. That and penguins of course.
I can't think of a better truck, not because it's best designed, but because it's been taken back to near original condition,... and it has a Grandmother's soul.
Tough rebuild. Very life-giving to watch.
I enjoyed every minute of this video. Brackets, mistakes, wiring, hoses, everything. It is all these little things that make the final product so amazing
How are more people not subscribing to your channel?? The information, the puns, the enthusiasm you have is absolutely incredible! So glad I found your channel! Love this build series!Keep up the incredible work!!
Big kudos! No one posts the tedious, yet important, stuff. Thats a crazy amount work too! Great job!
Miscellanous small parts adds up to an amazing restore of your Gand's Ranger. Fantastic segment that's down to the finish line. Thanks for sharing, Sarah.
You’re doin this right, all the extra details are so worth it. Good job!
You're absolutely right, Sarah - this is the sort of stuff that most car videos never show. Modern vehicles are very, very complicated. Once again, I'm impressed by your thoroughness, even if you have to undo some previous work to get it right. Gram would be pleased.
Sarahs Grandma's truck is the main reason I come to this channel. It's like a Tahiti breeze of automotive delight....
Love the attention to detail in these videos whilst keeping it fun and engaging
Loving the content of your Grandma's truck and the Quattro. 😁🏴
Making great progress.
I think the penguins hanging out on both your hoists are hilarious
🤣
Sarah your attention to detail is so inspirational and the rubberized strap for the hose…. Brilliant!
Enjoy watching you work. Grams truck is a work of art.
Ma'am, you are so smart! I've watched long enough to figure out mistakes are made, you recalibrate, and make it right! I've enjoyed watching the passion build.
Sara this is the most comprehensive auto build I have ever seen… What a beautiful job!
So addicted to seeing this ford ranger fully restored, just like it left the factory!!
Cannot wait to hear it run.
Well done Sarah, absolute fantastic video!!
You missed one astonishing thing in that scrapyard visit; the mid 90's Toyota Camry next to the Saab. How rare is it to see one of those not still on the road!
Whether the work is menial tasks or major modifications we all watch because of you and no other reason. Just do what you do!
Thank you for continuing to make content. You are genuinely making the world a better place.
Super Happy Day! New Ranger video from Sarah, and new video from "M539 Restorations". Fantastic!
You are so right... most YT'ers don't show this kind of work... and it ends up biting them in the butt when they slop their way through it. I love these detailed videos, especially when you do them, as you do the work correctly and won't settle for sloppy work. Great video, and I mean it. Keep the excellent content coming. I'm already feeling sad that you are nearing the end of this project, but can't wait for the next one. Thank you Sarah (and Charlie too)! ... that buggered up water pump/fan assembly was hilarious - you should raffle it off for charity!
The attention to detail is next level. This will be the only Ford Ranger done better than OEM but still have all its character. 👍🏻👏🏻
Getting oh so close.. 🙂
I love the restoration of the wiring harness metal tie wrap with Heat Shrink "coating" !! Brilliant :)
Haha! Your satisfaction at the 12:20 mark spoke to me. Out loud I said "Damn straight!".
What makes this is the way Sarah comes in with a box of random hardware, nuts, bolts, clips, and indescribables, with a smile on her face like someone has given her the best ever jigsaw puzzle.
I expect nothing but perfection after watching all your ranger videos lol. You work so hard Sarah and deserve nothing but glory. Looking forward to seeing what's to come. You give me inspiration as a mechanic. Thanks for the amazing content you provide
Genius improvised wire clamp holder with the heat shrink application. Cool !
I never miss your content Sarah !! The ranger I s coming together very nice I love the color. Your hard work is going to pay off with your brand new ranger your grandmother would be very proud !!!
Please, never ever change. Your too PERFECT.. OUTSTANDING
A beautiful labor of love. I can feel the nostalgia, even more so now that it's almost done. So satisfying to watch because you make us feel like we're part of the process. Can't wait to see the finished truck running!
no idea why i love watching these ranger vids....but im loving the project on a car i would never want! LOL your work has been great, reminds me of when i restored an E38 BMW years ago and how no expense was spared.
And.... This is why I watch this channel. The shop talk sure helps too ! 😁
❤ Sarah you just made my day with your innuendos only you can make me laugh thank you very much I like the videos keep up the good work watching from Fresno California.
As someone who can watch the same episode of "How It's Made" a dozen times, I appreciate this build...6-ft hose bag and all.
Say whatever you want about this type of videos being “boring” but I LOVE it… it is super satisfactory seeing all the attention to detail you have… excellent work girl
Fantastic job Sarah! Without a doubt the nicest Ford Ranger on the planet...And I know it will stay that way...Cause you own it. :)
One thing you might check is the electrolytic capacitors in the ECU. On those EECIV there are 3 that spill their guts as they age. I had to do this to my 88 Ranger GT.
I had to replace these on my 1990 Ranger.
You dedication to your Gram's truck is admirable. I tore down many of these Ranger engine through the years for a living and I know first-hand how tediously mind-numbing alot of the work is. Keep it up, before long, you are going to have a runner!
I think it might be worth noting for future reference that those fan clutches are not reverse thread, even though the factory service manual says they are. My source: I own a '94 Explorer with the same 4.0 OHV engine and had to remove mine a few times to replace a condenser, radiator, water pump and timing cover gasket.
That being said, this little series has been fun to watch being a 90s Ford owner, and I look forward to its completion. It's nice to see these trucks getting the attention they didn't seem to have before.
Seeing the ranger coming together is so satisfying
Great work there, the truck is really turning out perfectly.
amazing how Sarah has rerouted all the lines and electrical line, get a job finding OEM ford parts. Just a great job.
I love the attention to detail and the ethic of doing things right. Your grams would be so happy! Nicest Ranger in town, fo sho.
I remember you leaving the intake loose. I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I don't mind seeing all the little things being installed. It definitely shows how much you care about your craft.
What an absolute nightmare. Look at the brain on Sarah. What a highly productive human being you are. You have slightly restored my faith in young America. The little stuff counts. A fuel line rubbing here a wire bundle chafing there a hydraulic line bumping against a panduit, That's what air disasters are made of.
Love how you are reusing most of the original parts. Awesome!
Looks great kiddo. You're doing Grand Mahmah proud. Gonna be a great ride when complete. Once again...did I mention fifty times....I want this truck? Thanks again for all the time you put into entertaining us!!!
I hate to be the one to break the news to you Sarah, but we don't watch you for the car content; we watch for your company and out there sense of humour. Much love to you.
love the warning about tedious amounts of assembly! You're entertaining and know your stuff.
I am preparing to attempt to restore my old Datsun convertible. I am gaining all kinds of insight from your videos. It's great to see your determination, attention to detail and showing your mistakes. You show the difficulties you encounter instead of editing them out! You are also hilarious, thanks for the video.
My best friend had that truck with the same color but extended cab, otherwise all the same. It was our go getter in the 90's and I cant wait to hear this start up.
I sure hope you are keeping this Truck. your work is in incredible and that engine will run forever. The 4.0L "Push Rod" was the best V6 Ford had back in the 90s.
Brains. Beauty. Patience. No one does it better than Sarah. VERY interested at this point because I own a 2006 Silverado from PA which never had AC, and I've purchased an entire AC kit from an aftermarket house. Nervous to begin the work.
Of all the things you have done I think I am most impressed by the wire clamp. It would have never occurred to me to use shrink wrap.
Good to see this work, very important for the fine detail.
Nextt time when you prepare the rubberized wire clamp, add dielectric silicone grease inside the heat shrink to keep it rust free (that is what I would do, so I am worst! :) That is a tip I share with you. I do that at least to cover wire welds to protect them.
That’s a smart idea!
These video's are so satisfying, I love all the attention to detail that most RUclipsrs never film or care about. I also laugh every time you break into the "Gymnastic Sarah, don't break your ass" interludes 🤣🤣
Awesome looking Ranger. I'm impressed with your attention to detail
I just love watching your videos. You make a bad day at work so much better listening to you. Your a beautiful nut. Always love hearing your funny commentary.
@tim hicks - agreed.
Great tip with that wire harness thing-a-ma-bobber. And any box wrench can become a flare nut wrench when a grinder is near by. 😜
I'm completely impressed I'm nowhere near as detailed as that excellent work !!
The Ranger is looking great! If you haven't yet, check out Larry and his AMMONYC line of detailing products. Impressive products and they don't leave your car smelling like chemicals, and the interior products don't leave a slippery residue.
Second this one!
Yes mam all the little stuff makes a complete restoration. Georgous.
One reason I love to watch this kind of content is that it makes me aware of how many small, mostly hidden parts that really makes up a car - things you never see or think of, when you drive it. Also it is a joy to see how order little by little comes to the "chaos" of scattered parts. Your OCD is quite contagious! Pure love!
Sarah "quotes". Sometimes I don't think before I speak.
That was absolutely brilliant of me.
I'm not an idiot.
Oh! I'm dumb.
That's how crazy I am.
Above all your attention to detail is awesome. Love your channel.
To loosen fan from pump ! Clamp pulley in a vise! Next use a air hammer with a straight blade to spin it off. Works everytime I've used it.
Showing video clips of "how" you solved a problem is very useful. Makes you look smart.
I like the painted balancer and pulley, nice touch.
Series turned into why and how you should do rebuilds yourself. Great stuff.
Hey Sarah, Nice job on keeping all the original parts especially the power steering🙂 I hope you’ll do an off-road review when it’s done nothing to put the truck in any jeopardy but I’d love to see a hill test even a llittle hill test I think that would be fun have a great one🐧🐧🐧👍
You're so right you don't get to see all of the little bits, one of the reasons I love you channel, plus you make it so fun
Sarah thank you for continuing to preserve Gram's Ranger wherever possible.
No worries on the content you bring the real build to us. With your own expressive wording.
The details are the cool parts to watch.
This is the one of the best automotive RUclips channels.
10:44. I specifically bought a flair nut wrench for the transmission cooling line out of the radiator.
Great addition to any toolbox.
Peeling stranger's sunburn. There's a challenge for the Impractical Jokers. Ridiculously fun footage of small parts, finds, and assemblies. Loved the typical hilarious quips with the Saab therapist, mild ass cheek cuts, and numerous things that could be taken wrong, but I didn't. 🤨6:10 At least back in the day we got to see the Grand Canyon or Niagara Falls when we looked through the little holes. Trudging through deep snow but you're nearly to the road, Sarah.
Literally doing what everyone envisions.... wicked sister... and it doesn't matter what it is... my last Saturday.. driving saw a lawn mower at the curb.. was the fancy version of mine... I pulled over, engine was locked and deck was rotten so I spent the upgrading mine with a parts swap.. for the win. This while my truck was on stands because I was in the middle of putting a leveling kit on. Keep up the amazing work.
Maybe not a popular opinion, but I love this stuff. This is what working on a car actually consists of, most of the time. How do you get the wrench on this thing, and from what angle, and how much room is there, to do it? That's what it's all about, honestly. Yeah, the bottom end and cylinder head get the glamour shots, but power steering pumps need love, too! You go, Sarah!
Thanks for the tip of running a self tapping screw into a rear main seal, I replaced mine this weekend o n my 1988 f150. It worked like a charm. Thanks!
I am so so Freaking impressed that truck looks brand new Off the showroom floor you did one outstanding job
When I think I can’t be any more impressed about your attention to detail another level of attention to detail comes in. Impressive labelling in the parts bags. I just can’t do stuff like that.
Hi. I really enjoyed the camping video. Glad to see you having fun.
I want to do more, they’re way less labor intensive! Haha
Nope, Sarah, I do not know why, but I really enjoyed this video, the content was eclectic and massive enjoyable, so thank you and ye gods that was a shed load of work you put in there. Your Gran's pick up videos are my favourites and watch and rewatch a lot of the Mr vids.
Love your stuff. Should have shirts made”That’s what he/she said”. Only we’ll know what it means
Awesome video Sarah, that truck is going to be better than new. 🍺🍺🍺
