I am just a guy from Alaska who happens to like fixing things - whether it be on cars, trucks, motorcycles, etc. In a previous profession, I was a journeyman mechanic working on: ground support equipment, heavy equipment, emergency backup generators, automobiles and other light equipment. I am also a firearms enthusiast, especially historic firearms like the ones used in major conflicts such as WWII. There is not a week that goes by where I don't fix something, or go to the range and hone my shooting skills. I find shooting to be a fun and challenging skill to have. I hope you enjoy my videos and find something useful or at least something entertaining in them. Please feel free to drop me a line and let me know if there's anything I can post that could help you.

The dorman instructions say to install the wave washer last
my local mechanic quoted a $250 fee for this very service on my 2003 S claiming the process required a separate pumping device to replenish the fluid and is less than a simple old-school fluid drain. This seemed less than practicable. I balked and am glad I did.
surely that Screwdriver has to be a 'JIS' Japanese Industry Standard one NOT the 'Phillips' as the screw heads are different
I didn’t mention it in the video, but all my jewelry screwdrivers are JIS drivers, and so are most of the “+” style screwdrivers in my toolbox in the shop. Phillips screws were flawed from the get go, and I have no place for a self-stripping fastener in my life. Thankfully the Japanese were brilliant and their JIS drivers work better on Phillips screws than Phillips drivers do.
Man this video is awesome. I was able to take mines out but the inside of the brass insert is worn out any idea where I can find these brass inserts?
You might be able to find some similar ones on Amazon, E-Z Lok inserts. You’ll have to get a different size bolt (SAE instead of metric) most likely with these inserts. I haven’t found any of the original style yet.
@@AKJeeper yea I was just looking on Amazon typed in metric nutcert and bunch of kits come out. I got COP #3 in 2001 expy 5.4l 2valve notorious spark plug spitters. Seems this is the way to go. Question I have to ask It’s a handy down car so previous owner stripped the head off the bolt that sits the COP on the manifold same bolt your inserting in your video. Any idea what I could do? I’ve tried the pressure pliers just won’t grip to small and needle nose won’t work either. I’ve seen welders, weld a nut bring it right out but I don’t have any welding tools whatsoever.
You don’t have to remove glove box.
My channel is geared more toward a novice. It isn’t absolutely necessary, but sure makes it a lot easier for someone to maneuver the filter in there and see what they’re doing.
I bought my 2002 around 10 years ago now.. It didn't have a bed and It had 170k miles just like this one.. and I only paid 7500 for it. Best investment I've ever made.. Such a great truck
Great vid got me thru mine in 2024!
Finally someone on here that is very informative!! Thank you so much for the details.
Great video 🎉🎉
E36 over e46. I have a question. Name the easiest carz to 'work on' for dummys.
I love both the E36 and E46 - they’re both great in my eyes. The E46 was new when I was starting out as an auto tech, so I’m slightly biased toward them. As for an easy car to “work on”? Generally speaking I’d say Toyota. I’ve always found 80s-90s Chevy/GM fullsize trucks and SUVs to be easy as well. My personal favorite is the XJ bodystyle Jeep Cherokee - I’ve always found those to be stupid simple.
@@AKJeeper thanks for the reply
I'm having this exact problem with this exact year make and model. Thank you. I'll lyk how i do
Great video! - In the video I just saw that there is storage under the steering wheel too! I just got the car and it didn't take me more than a week to get driven nuts by this broken door brake!
Tolong saya ganti kampas dan saya membuka motornya dari kalipernya sebelum mengepres lalu setelah pemasangan DTC EPB nya nyala terus sebelah kiri apa yang salah dan bagaimana memperbaiki nya agar mode service tidak menyala terus
Thanks a lot. Home made from Arg
Very useful video !
Thank you so much for making this video, it save me a major headache today,didn’t realize the clips are different on a front wheel drive vs the all wheel drive.
Great info and explained it in simpler terms!
What tool use in the conectors?? From chile, good job!!
Howd you clean out the reservoir? Just hot water?
Thanks for the "beeper" call out.
On my 2012 f150 with the key on truck not running it click click clicks. When truck is running driving it does the same thing but will not blow cold air out just hot air
The actuator in this video does not control temperature, it only controls where the air comes out (floor, dash vents, defrost vents). Depending on the configuration of your truck, there could be one or two actuators that control the temperature. I suspect that you’re hearing the temperature actuator(s) clicking.
@AKJeeper correct just blows hot air but nothing thru the vents any ideas. You can here ac compressor click on but will not blow out vents thanks
Is that the correct orintation of the resistor for the install? Myn is also stuck (locked in Maybe) sorta diagnal with the plug side closer to the driver. Just thought id check with you? :) thanks again.
The resistor can “lock” in several directions. It should be just fine so long as the electrical connector has the space to click in, and that the resistor is truly locked in.
Bravo!!! very well explained im going to do mine in a week wish me luck
Thank you! Very helpful
Ughh I guess this what I get for going cheap😂😂
Exactly what I'm doing now. Great helpful Video
I've seen similar videos and everyone does the same thing to reset the oil service warning but when I reset mine it won't reset and turn green. I'm at my wits end
I’ve come across a few cars where it’s exceptionally difficult to reset in this fashion. On those cars, I resort to using my scan tool. I have a Thinktools ThinkDiag that works well for this, might want to look into this brand and see if it’s something within your budget. I can confirm that it does work on BMWs and MINIs.
Great video! My 2011 Raptor on AC blows cold air to the passenger side but just warm air on the drivers side. Do you think its this part thats causing that? Thanks much!
If the fan is not working will cause the power steering not to work when it gets hot
How much fluid did the transmission take after being fully drained ?
Total was about 5.5 qts. I usually buy 2 gallons of ATF when I’m getting ready to do the job
Info on air flow direction??
should remove the wheel speed sensor and brake line bracket too before dropping the LCA
Не подскажите еще- не горят лампочки в приборной панели? Куда посмотреть?

@@AKJeeper спасибо! Брат! Все сделал! Все работает!
Aahh.. the ol'brake light leak. NICE job!
Fellow Alaskan here on the peninsula! Thanks brother! Great video I appreciate you not doing all the other steps including the cooling system I knew it could be done without that. Thanks again!
nice work adding the part number and torque specs.👍
Thanks 👍
I am changing out my caliper on my rear passenger side. The new caliper comes with new bolts, do i need to install the old Vibration dampener, or can i replace it with just a regular bolt?
You can replace it with a regular bolt. Ford was rather hit and miss whether these trucks came with the vibration dampener. I’ve personally never noticed any difference between having the dampener in or not, as far as brake noise is concerned.
Having been an over the road truck mechanic for over twenty five years I have seen many things that i didn't approve of but this is one excellent video. My compliments to the fellow who made it. Also his suggestion that a little prayer helps and I have been guilty of using a little prayer many times, especially when doing something difficult for the first time!
Thanks for your kind words!
Lol think you'll get another 10k miles out of it.
Kuga dm2 not same 2019...and cannot get the arm off seized on as usual with these steel nut to alloy housing...🤬
Dang. Sorry to hear about the arm being seized. That's such a common problem on these!
Gracias ☺️
de nada :)
... Small tip. Disconnecting the pipe fittings in this way can lead to breakage of the fittings themselves. You need to lower the rubber ring, so as to reveal the clip underneath. Then, with the index finger and thumb of one hand, press on the clip: with the other hand, press DOWN on the fitting. Incredible to say, and against logic, but, by doing so, the fittings come off effortlessly and without problems. Volvo V70 TDI 1997. The float is the same, only without the integrated electric pump.
I have a similar problem, my fan ran at high speed once and then nothing worked anymore, I hope it's just that and not the motor, I ordered everything, I can also swap the motor😁😁
The motor on these P3 Volvos aren't a lot of fun to replace. You need a special removal tool to get the job done efficiently.
I have a question that I might have missed .My question is .The brake pads that are installed on the brake bracket .Does it matter what side of the brake bracket they are installed on .Meaning ,is their such a thing as left pad and right side pad only or does it matter .
On this car, the pads are generally the same left to right, inboard to outboard. There are some brake pad manufacturers/types - NAPA Adaptive One, for example, that specify inner and outer pads.
Do you know if this would work for a 2011 Expedition?
Thanks, worked great
Got exactly the same problem... just ordered the part now. Will try to fix it myselfe. Thanks for the video.
There is no code to take off for this year ?
Thank you it’s a very Toral and accurate video I ever seen and other other results. I was able to do it myself and save myself lots of money thank you my brother.
