Man, chrisfix out here saving lives lol, i love it.
Plenty of good grunts in this video. Scotty Kilmer would be proud!
You guys had more snow in this episode than we in Iowa have all winter.
IMO 'your best instructional/sharing video yet'! You've taken us on an explanatory cruise of AMERICAN truck front end parts that do go bad and are a pain.
RUclips should be proud of you for the excellent repair video AND for doing it outside in freezing wet weather in the middle of a storm AND you lost POWER! Yes, I dipped in the archives for this older video but you just blew it out of the water on this one. Makes you SPECIAL! Sonny (CT)
You make it look easy Randy. And without cussing !!!
For the 97 Expedition 4WD, there is an added complications to changing all 4 tie rod ends if you don't want to remove the center-link/pitman arm/idler arm combo. The torsion bar runs so close to the inner tie rods that even a low-profile puller doesn't fit. You have to unbolt the torsion bar both from the frame and from the lower A-arms. Those 25-year old long bolts enclosed by a plastic sleeve are rust magnets! Have fun removing them. I thought I had ordered the correct tie rods: MEOE-64(right-outer) and 66(right-inner) but both ends had right-handed threads. One of them should have been left-handed so that rotating the adjustment sleeve either moves them apart or pulls them together. Apparently, I either got two 64's or I got two 66's. Since the part numbers are not stamped on the tie rods, have fun guessing which I had an extra of, because no one states which has the right-handed thread and which has the left-handed thread! I did look at Ford Part's pictures and you can kind of make out what thread each has (assuming they put the correct picture in the correct part description.) It looks like the MEOE-66 has left-handed thread. (So Amazon sent me a 64 in a 66 box!) So on the passenger side, the inner has L-thread and outer has R-thread. Turning the sleeve counter-clockwise should increase toe-in (each sleeve has a R-threaded end and a L-threaded end). In a sane world, turning the driver's side sleeve counter-clockwise should also increase toe-in. However, the MEOE-114 (inner) has R-thread and the MEOE-63 (outer) has L-thread. You have to turn that sleeve clockwise to increase toe-in! Arrrrrrrrgh! Well, this has been an enlightening experience which wouldn't have occurred if I'd been shipped the correct parts. I've ordered a new MEOE-66 and will just have to eat the extra 64 (unless someone needs it. I’ll even put it in the correct box!)
Glad you are feeling and sounding so much better!
Hi Randy:
Enjoyed the Red F150 repair.
2 suggestions:
1. Laying on cold cement with card board in the winter is one way to Really get sick!
Have you considered purchasing a floor creeper.?
2. Purchasing a pair of insulated work Overalls? Working in jeans and a leather jacket cannot be warm.
Also doesn’t help your cold.
Good to see you back up and about, love your channel.
On my truck, last year, I did the same as you, replace just about every wear item on the front. When I removed the steering components, from outer-tie-rod to outer-tie-rod, when it came to the pitman arm, I used the same pitman arm puller as you and I failed. My success came when I used the Harborfreight Ball Joint separator. You used it before, I remember you using one in another video, but I can't remember which. I do remember that it separated a control arm and when it did it was spectacular. On mine, the "fork" of the separator was a bit narrow for a pitman, so I used a grinder to make it a tiny bit wider. If you ever decide to go this route, use face protection and hearing protection. It comes off with ease, but it is spectacular, which I'm sure you remember.
Awesome video. Very informative and helpful. Thank you Randy thumbs up 👍👍👍
good video. always makes you feel good when you fix things yourself.
Amen!
One of the best, informative videos you've made.
Chris fix is awesome too. I like your breakdown of all of your work you are doing. I need to do some work on my F450 Dually Longbed.
Another cool video never disappointed. Have a good day and hope you feel better Jimmy from Massachusetts
Great Job 👏👏👏 Can’t wait to see the next installment of Under The Red Truck 👍
great stuff man !!!
I'm watching from Italy and I've learned a ton !!
I wish we had something like car auction here as well or it was as easy to get parts .. anyhow keep going and flipping
Nicola
Finally a very good video with informative rebuilding content!
Great video Randy. I've owned an 2002 F150 4X4 since new and I remember there was a ball-joint recall. Never got it done and she's still steering OK at 250,000 mi. Of course it's lived it's life as a city-slicker with no serious off-roading.
Yeah, soaking everything before hand does help a lot. Also takes a bit of extra time filming as well. Very good instructional, especially cleaning things before reassembly. Amazing how some things work out so easily, like the pitman arm. Nut being loose probably helped. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Randy such a concise Video. Hope you feel better real soon. Enjoying what you do. Little Aussie Follower
that torque wrench is excellent! i just used it to torque my hubs on my malibu and it friggin ROCKS!!
Hey Randy!! Thanks to you and Samcrac for all your information, I have bought my first Copart project (2012 Chevy Cruze)... Thanks!!
Great, how much did you pay?
@@carlosjavierjohnsonoliva8533 - paid right at 1500 including fees and broker fee. Just needs a front bumper, right headlight, fender and RF door... very minor damage
Love the headlights
Good progress on this, saving lots of money doin it yourself, Liked!!!!
Well done Randy!
Good video thanks for take the time to share this is really look difficult but it's need to be done
Awesome video randy. The trucks looking awesome. I thought ball joints are hard. But thank you for showing me how easy they can be.
Cant wait for part 2.
Damn great video Randy.
I just bought that same torque wrench! Works good! Make sure you set it back to the lowest setting and tighten it up after each use. How you feel better! Happy New Year!
stay warm and feel better buddy !
Nice job! That's the way to save money!
Hope you feel better Randy. Great video.
Awesome video.
I live in the rust belt. Also I snapped the upper ball joint completely off. Now I have bought that smar kit from Detroit diesel. I wish in part 1 you could have shown how to remove the upper control arm....but other than that...awesome video thank you for including the sizes of sockets that helps tremendously
Randy for these jobs u should get those roller chairs mechanics use. Much more comfortable than squatting.
You’re getting there😉
Great job!!!
good work randy
great video randy ur tool collection is growing well
Love your videos bro
Awesome video Randy! You got really lucky with that pitman Arm! Get well man! Hope you get to feeling better! Enjoy the snow it's been 60 degrees and raining here on the east coast.
Hey Randy!! "LET IT SNOW... LET IT SNOW... LET IT SNOW..."
Damn man, with that much luck on the suspension maybe you should have played the lottery... lol ...! I hope that the replacing it back together part of this repair goes as smooth!! And if you get too cold, you can go back inside and have a little "NIP"🐕...😉...😁!!!
ANYWAY...... PEACE 🤘 AND
..........HAPPY NEW YEAR..........
Get well soon. I’m poorly feel sick too. But I’m enjoy watch this while I in bed lol 👍🇬🇧👍
Good work sir. Great post. For us diy people. You can buy, for a reasonable price, upper and lower control arms with ball joints and bushings installed, means compressing the spring but if were not sure about any damage, might be worth the work
Great video!
Good job Randy
Great Video.. yeah you sure got lucky on the pitman assembly wow..
We back!!! yesss
Grab a brass drift for banging on threaded metal. They're usually a round bar of brass, couple of pounds. The brass doesn't damage the steel when you shock it to loosen the ball joint/axle shaft.
Glad your doing better buddy!
Randy you for got the Hitch!!!
Feel better man! great video! Take plenty of vitamin c and fluids!
Great video can't wait for pt2 really good explanation off work oh I purchased the ancel fx4000 you use got to say it's fantastic well worth it thumbs up
I replaced the front axles on my '98 Silverado this past weekend and I agree, an impact makes life much easier.
Working on a car in the blistering cold is as painful and miserable as it gets. And just when you think you're home free, something goes wrong and you've got more work to do. So, I'm glad Randy's having a relatively easy time with this mod. Thanks for making these videos, man. It's given me the motivation to do a lot more work on my car instead of paying others to do it for me. Not only do you know it was done right, but with quality parts as well.
Good job, and get well soon!
loved the video. hope to see how the wheels rotate together after the fix
Good video brother
I think we should start a go fund me page, and get Randy some work gloves.
I used all three torque wrenchs from harbor freigh to build 4l60e transmisson no problem ,they work great
*Randy, I really think that you have proved that you're successful in the local flipping car business.* So why aren't you moving to a location with space for at least one truck inside? Where you can work on it no matter how cold or how hard it rains. I think that if you got a new decent workplace, with a property where you can park some cars. That you can work way more efficient. With heat, electricity and maybe a lift? I don't know what the costs of renting some place like this are in Oklahoma but just look for it. It's worth it man!
ya but this is more like everybody elses situation, not everyone has a nice shop with lifts, this is more realistic to what most of us have to work with!
@@billnalder1017 I totally understand that. But most of us have a day job and besides that do some wrenching on cars in the weekends and later on the workdays. Randy is running a small flipping car business at home and that's his income. *if you are running any business, even when it is a small one, you can't afford to stay small your whole career. The competition will murder you that way!* No, if you think that you can fix cars on your driveway your whole life than your wrong. Think about the positive side of it. With a decent 2 car garages, he can do more involved repairs, he can buy more cars because he has got more space, he can make videos no matter the weather conditions. That means more content. I started fixing cars on the driveway just as a hobby. 5 years later I saved enough money and built my own 322.ft² garage where I fix up and restore cars as a hobby. I have got a day job too. It's just a hobby, and that way I can do every car repair myself. Doing engine swaps en clutches outside in the rain isn't fun.
i dont think he has the money for that quite yet, getting a shop is a lot of money
@@Speedycat You're exactly right. See: Unwrecked
@@Speedycat he makes a lot from RUclips tho.
good job. that truck will run good when it's done.
@30:14 That is beautiful how it's coming down. Bring that to Illinois the snow
i wish this type of weather were in my country
Next time on the ball joints use another hammer on the back side of the casting, the bigger the hammer you use on the back side the better. It slightly deforms the casting and pops the ball joint out without breaking the casting. A fellow who worked in a junkyard taught me this.
Excellent video and content. I would love to see you in a garage out of the elements. I love videos where I learn things Salute to you brotha get better.
having done my share of suspension work. I wised up and get the parts for the control arms. IE.. Ball joints and bushings. (Always best to do them all together. And take the arms and bushings and such to your local machine shop and let them press them in and out.. So much better and easier for you and the cost is not that expensive. Makes the job go so much faster.
9:03 "And get this tie rod out just give it a couple taps with a hammer" (wacks it with all of his might)
You're becoming more detailed on the explanations, i love it. A little bit of a long video tho, people tend to either get bored or skip to a shorter vide, but i watched because i liked it, and i wanna get started to work on my car, how do you know all of this tho?
I like how he said just tap and then BANG ON IT!!!
Been waiting two days!!! 😫😩
Jack Daniels cures all
Great content!👍Glad you’re feeling better Randy; we missed ya! It’s funny how you don’t notice how cold & miserable it is outside when things are going good on a repair🤣.
Is it just me/camera angle or were the lug bolts (particularly the very top one) bent on that hub?
I love American trucks!
while watching this video my relative who isn't watching but hearing thought i was watching Thread Banger and said you sounded like Rob. now I cannot unhear that..
Great video feel better
Dam that fast
I hope that snow is gone I’ll be in Ardmore Oklahoma tonight and Suwanee tomorrow
Hi guys chrisfix here..oh man Randy im a big fan of him and you as well..
I salute you 🤝💯
HFT red Hardy mechanics gloves are what I’d be using especially with that weather. Love PB but hate the smell so I’m using that new WD40.
Congrats on getting that mess tore off with minimal effort in the cold.
My screw has mad negative camber on the driver side from its wreck so possible bend in upper contol arm or lower or maybe a bent knuckle. Either way I gotta do this same thing and glad to see you get that Pittman off with little effort.
Check your steering gear output shaft seal while it's all torn down. It will piss power steering fluid if that seal is brittle.
Ironically also sick and recovering but no time to heal...wrenchin to get done.
So lucky with the pitman arm.
I'm thinking of getting an f150 from copart!
Great video,thanks ,I was in the ice storm as well,I have a 4×4 2001 f 150,I want to restore,thanks ,I hope u are feeling better.....
Do not cross trend it because you will regret it. Lol loved it.
To drive that CV shaft out you use a big center punch and tap it... it doesn't take much to drive that shaft out the wheel hub. A large flat screwdriver prying on the brake rotor gives you enough play to slip the caliper out...
35:36 WTF is happening? You guys received several inches of snow in OK, and we hit a very tropical for January 47* up in the Twin Cities today! What alternative universe is this?!?
Crazy man!!
Global warning, no one wants to see the truth.
@@nonamebp8310 naw man this happens like every other year lmao last year in Detroit it was like 10 degrees every day and snowing way too much this year 40-50 degree weather no snow
very hard work, wasnt necessary...although was waiting for next video BUT Health come first..nice work.
sorry can not stop laughing at the snow lol
Randy look like those studs were bent. Might want to rake a closer look at them
I had the same problem tractor supply has a job smart brand 1-5/16 wrench for 12.99
Very Good video and hope that you feel better soon
Next time you have a stuck pitman arm, put the puller on there and tighten the puller bolt as much as you can. While the arm is under pressure, take a propane torch and start warming up the pitman arm. It will pop off in just a few seconds. No need for chisel and grinder!
Get a CAR COVER for that Vette, get a TRIPOD for your cam, and get some REST! :)
maybe you should consider using some of that garden space you have to upgrade garage or build a shop at back? just a thought good luck with 2019
I don't know if I would trust the splines on the gear box where the pitman arm came off. Those splines look worn compared to the portion near the top, above where the pitman arm was "attached".
I actually agree with you. I will need to replace the gear box at some point.
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds I agree .Gear Box/Pitman Arm was your whole problem, the splines were not engaged letting suspension have that slop. I like the videos ....you are a very good speaker, you may want to watch a few South Main Auto Videos ......he does all sorts of suspension /brake ....basic Repair videos....Good Luck ...and keep up the good work . You inspired me to drive to Glouch. NJ CoPart auction ground . I am still confused on the bidding part ....but moving slow.
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds the car gods were on your shoulder for sure brother....lol. I have replaced more f-150 pitman arms than I care to recall and never have I seen one separate from the gear box in the manner yours did. You seem to follow and be a firm believer in my motto I have assumed from years of doing this which is....."prep work makes the job work"!
I feel you do an outstanding job with the format and method in which you present your videos. Not everyone watching your videos have years of experience to fall back on such as some of us do and the step by step explanations you give during your tutorials is very well done. Keep up the quality work you are doing and look forward to this project paying off for you and seeing you move ahead with the harley ford!
By the way, did you mark your gearbox or do something to mark it's orientation to be somewhere in the ballpark of "neutral center"?
Nice I just did a trailblazer with parts from Detroit axle they included a 10% off coupon for my next order great company, and yes Michigan rust didn't go that easy.
I feel for ya randy working out in the cold it sucks big time
Love this episode, keep it up sir! (Thats what she said)
My dad recently got a impact gun which works amazingly
Randy, you're a wild-man!!! I have ZERO motivation when it gets that cold, and here you are tearing out suspension parts. Perhaps one of the worst jobs to do on a truck at ANY temperature and you're doing it outside in the cold.. You need a shop !
