I've watched a lot of your videos and have learned a great deal I wouldn't have known had I not watched. Just one example, single use bolts on a Transit can be really dangerous if reused in some places and you make a point to let everyone know when a bolt is in that category. You've probably saved a couple lives honestly. Great, informative video's. Hope you're making some money off them, you deserve it!
You’re awesome man. I started a job close to 2 years ago running a shop all by myself fixing a fleet of transit vans. I was worried about not being able to do a lot of the work on transits because I had no experience with them. You’ve helped me learn so much. Now there’s nothing I can’t fix on a transit! Just curios if you have ever done injectors in the eco boost transit. It was one of my first jobs and it nearly broke me lol. All injectors were seized and I made a video on drilling them out. Would be cool if you could check it out!
He had a rough go at the start with a collapsed lung and was in NICU for over a week but he is 6 months old now and healthy as an ox and is growing like a weed. I appreciate your kind words I honestly forgot I said anything about that in this video lol. Thanks for watching!!
I do a front cover on a 3.7 and 3.5 and you have to remove the alternator to do that. specifically I don't have any special tips or tricks other than remove the headlight and give yourself more room.
@@medtec6747 Thanks! I really appreciate all the great content you’re putting out there for DIY’ers like me! You’ve allowed me to tackle a bunch of projects that I’d never have attempted without your videos!
Thank you very much for this video. On the transmission cooler which ATF line is the inlet and outlet? Same question for the coolant lines? Cheers from Thailand.
The hose on the thermostat housing going to the left side of the radiator is the outlet (hot coolant from the engine) and the opposite the inlet (cool water going back to the engine). On the transcooler I believe the top is the outlet (hot fluid from the trans) and the bottom is the inlet (cool fluid going back to the trans)
Thanks for all the videos thay have helped me ton! Would there be a maintenance manual that I could get my hands on? Or is the cd I find on line for around $279 bucks the best option? 2018 eco boost.
My timing cover is leaking it used to just leakwhen tilted back on my drive way now i see it leak when parked on a flat surface. It looks bad on the drive way. It doesn't leak so bad as i have to add oil in 3000 miles its just about less than a 1/2 quart. I got a prce of $2300 to have it done at a independent for shop. My question is would it help at all if i re torqed the bolts where its leaking. The leaks on the upper left hand side.
@medtec6747 thanks I guess I won't waste my time doing it. Seems like it would be a hard job to do in the drive way I would probably have to pull the front clip off.
How come you didn’t replace the timing chain while you were in there? Seems like a ton of work not to swap out the timing chain with all those miles on the truck.
If you run a good oil and change it frequently you really don't have to worry about timing chains on these especially on the NA engines. I've heard about tons of trouble with chain stretch on these and I haven't had one with a chain stretch code yet. I inspected the guides and they looked great and they will go another 170k

thanks, helped me through my first timing cover re seal
@@jimmyramirez5787 how hard was it for you did you do it in your drive way did you pull the nose off the front.
You are a good teacher bro ❤
Are you still working on the Transits? Your videos are always a great help and thorough. Please do more.
I am I just have been working on stuff that doesn't normally align with my channels preferred metrics. I appreciate the kind words though.

I have done the injectors I just wish that when I was doing them I had time to do a video on them. I appreciate the support man glad I could help
We appreciate your videos and this one is very involved. And all the best to your family and hope all is well with the little one. 😩🙏

Good stuff brother
Love your videos! Any footage of knock sensor replacement on these transits?
Congratulations on the baby
Thanks buddy
Do you have any videos on removing/replacing the alternator on a 3.7L transit? If not, do you have any tips/tricks you can share on doing so?

you can buy service data subs from motorcraft service or mitchell but I don't think there is a paper version out there at the moment

Was the timing chain and tensioners original was there much where on the tensioners
Original timing running gear and it all looked great. I chalk that up to we run a good synthetic oil and don't miss our service intervals
