So... how do you remove the metal squeeze clamp on the front of that under-manifold hose??

Ive done this before on my 95 Crown Vic, but i replaced the entire by pass hose and yes you have take off the intake manifold off, it was a bi*tch and time consuming, i had to replace the intake manifold gaskes as well, been running great ever since, 👍😉

Does this apply to the 5.4 L 4V InTech engine from 2004 ?

you are an absolute genius!

11:44 that was not the farm house.

How was anyone able to get at the hose bib with the IMRC right above it? Cannot even reach the bottom bolt to remove. 99 F150 4.6l

It was filmed in s1958 when i was bofrn!

Have 4 sedans of crown Vics and Mercs. Thanks to you, I now know how to make a simple heater hose replacement without taking intake manifold off. A sample of Ford over engineering, and how to bypass it. I just realized why my mechanic said my heater hoses were just fine. God love him. I'd said that too if I had known what BS to go through by the book way. You,a smart fellow.

I appreciate the video!

thanks for the video, good repair to get going. This is a comment for viewers, in particular E series owners. I was fortunately able to get the pipe out an E150 van working from the back of motor and giving the pipe a 180 degree twist upon first tube restriction. It was nice to have the van's open rear access.

Smart.

Is this man still alive been watching since i was 16

I would've had to eliminate the 3/4 -5/8 crap & run straight in.

Torch is generally not advised as it can change the metal characteristics. The area that is heated, dependin on how fast it is cooled the metal can become brittle or softer.

So out of curiosity do you happen to remember what the link originally was? It appears that the video is no longer available

Will the heater still work doing it this way ?

So no need to replace the mineral oil with PAG?

Is this product as good as the others? I see it doesnt foam..

ihad a junk van on my rollback the crankin the rollback broke had to two both them with the wrecker

Thank you, you just help me figure out how to unhook the latch on my hood with the handle there. I was looking and looking!😂❤🎉

I need this done now. Ford is dumb for routing that hose under the intake

Thanks for this 11 years later. Pulled my 86 F150’s right rear axle due to a leaking seal. Been banging my head all day trying to figure out why my new one piece seal 😢 is different from the original, and why I can’t find the original type. If it was discontinued 11 years ago when you posted this, I’ve got no chance of finding the old style in 2024. Not what I wanted to learn, but now at least I know!

The worse it tastes the better it works. This accomplishes both magnificently.

Remind me to never let you work on my whatever

Is this still available

why ant ya toes wiggling in your sneakers while on pedal, go on wiggle em sneakers

Thanks for the video. got to get my oxygen tank exchanged. This Lookes like the best way for me . I have lots of experience with cutting bearings off. This ones just smaller. only have a 6 ton press , should work for this size .

It's funny how a video that helped you years ago pops up in your recommended. I did this repair on my 1994 Crown Vic. I junked that car and removed this setup, put it in my storage house, and bought a Lincoln Town Car. The same problem showed up, I took the pipe setup and put it on that car. I gave that car to my dad years later now it is at 380k with the same cheap repair.

@beltstowing what’s the name of that hose or how do I look it up to buy it

How did you connect the hose to the water pump? This is where I am at the moment. Didn't fully understand. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks. Leaving a like for you also.

I tried finding those relays but no part number found.

So my question is, the hose that goes in the back under the intake that is being bypassed.. it obviously connects straight to the water pump but also, it has a nipple (which is common to crack or have pinholes) and that nipple has a smaller hose that connects back to the intake on the top… Does doing this bypass change some type of performance since it’s not receiving coolant back to the top of the intake?

For years I drove around with everything to change over from a Non PI to a PI intake including the PI coolant tube. The plastic coolant bypass on my Non PI intake cracked all the way from one side to the other the other day. Now it finally payed off to carry "junk in my trunk" all these years. I think I will take the old coolant tube out and put in the 4 feet of 5/8 hose like you did.

I have put PI intakes on Non PI engines and I have to agree with you 100%. I have even replaced the nipples that are pressed fit into the back of the water pump too. There is a big difference in an engineer and a mechanic. The clowns that came up with the idea of plastic intakes and plastic coolant components are laughing all the way to the bank but none of them have ever had to fix the turd sandwiches that they served us. I have a beautiful Lincoln Town Car Cartier edition that I am selling as soon as I replace the cracked intake again. I have an 80 series (Lexus) Land Cruiser with over 500,000 miles on it and it has NO plastic engine components.

I only watch the video to watch you pull off the gear and you don’t even show it. Thanks brother.

All you had to do is look back on the video See if you tighten up the bolts. Oh well cool video dog.

Well, there goes the torque wrench. Jesus Christ.

That’s why there’s a little holes drilled in the ends of the galleys next to the camshaft to squirt oil on the set up

I’m putting 1 in my 74 F100 tomorrow. I hope it makes mine run as good as yours..

$1300 at the dealership as of today. Definatly worth a try.

You can get it all of the liquid out, the low side pressure is lower than the vapor pressure of the can at room temperature. It'll all come out if you wait a second.

But where did you get the can tap/clamp

What Year is your application, I have a 2004 F150 Lariat with 5.4 L and cant seem to locate this dam EGR Valve.

The spray cleaner can distroy the MAF o-ring gasket rubber. I wrote to CRC company about this. No response.

Thank you for the effort!

Just outside of Knoxville, out on Kingston Pike; then just outside of Bearden where they made the fatal strike! As U drive away from Knoxville on Kingston Pike now, U won't even know you're passing through Bearden. That's all filled in with businesses on both sides!

You shoulda' gone to Knoxville and drove Kingston Pike to Morell Road like Mitchum sang in the song! That's the REAL Thunder Road!!

Great video, thanks😊.

I love this channel hope your doing well boss

It doesn’t take away a cough
