Haha I'm glad I could make you smile! Sometimes it doesn't go as planned.

I like your take a picture idea before hand. I often reference back to my videos on how it was put together before hand if I can't remember. I wish they put the belt diagrams on the inside of the hood like they used to.

I haven't used the fridge in 110 degree temps yet. I think it will depend on several factors; is it exposed to direct sunlight, is it in an AC vehicle, is it running off DC power or the portable battery, is it in max or eco mode, is it full or mostly empty, were the contents you put in it cold before hand, was it pre-chilled. I've ran it off the portable battery in direct sunlight on a boat in 90 degree temps and it kept my drinks and snacks cold for the day out on the water.

@@hehelnah you're welcome!

@@franklynarjoon2219 I believe it's both. When looking up the part number it's often called a temp sender / sensor/ pressure switch.

@@k-a147 I had trouble telling where it was coming from but could smell it from the driver side like you mentioned. I noticed the Y pipe or T connection was leaking after driving for a while then opening the hood and seeing the water pump pulley and belt was wet with some white scaling below it. The gaskets go bad in those quick connections and need to be replaced.

@@scottsbr8076 thank you for the input. I was just making do with what I had. Do you have a cutting oil or fluid you recommend?

@@detroit1018 if I'm not able to find Motorcraft oil at my local shop yes I do mix them on occasion.

I use this Bulletpoint dash camera mount. www.amazon.com/dp/B08295RLCJ/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_GDA12BMTDF19XARNCYQK?linkCode=ml2&tag=ozarkfloati00-20

@johnferebee, that's a custom setup I put together using different products. I started off with my TracRac dual T slot rails and bought their toolbox slide kit. I then mounted Inno load bars to them with a Rhino Rack mesh half basket 60" long. Rhino rack no longer makes the basket but you might be able to find something similar. This setup is really nice cause you can slide the basket to the tail gate so you can load heavier items and it doesn't interfere with the Retrax cover.

Here's my video on the overall setup. TracRac SR and Retrax MX 5 Year Review kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2O7aWhmpLSAbM0

Thank you.

I looked on their website as well and couldn't find it. I did notice it comes with a new CRPRO30 fridge now but not shown as available separately. I reached out to my contact at BougeRV and will let you know what I find out.

@sportshobbycollector3327, I heard back from my contact at BougeRV and they informed me the short DC power cable is not available for sale. But if you really want one for your fridge to contact their customer service and they should provide you with the shorter cable.

@@jacobsupgrades thanks so much for checking! Sorry I have not responded sooner..keep up the great videos.

I can imagine with a stock bumper this can be a more difficult job. I have a lot more room to work with the Road Armor bumper. Did you replace your idler/tensioner? I think I'm due to replace mine at 140,000 miles.

@@jacobsupgrades Hi Jacob. Yes, it's factory bumper and very tight space working from above and some from below.. Your question re: idler/tensioner replacement? No, I popped out the seals on the bearings and re-greased them. Virtually all near dry. Don't waste your money, re:grease them asap. BTW, if I didn't have your video, this job would have been longer and a lot worse that it was. In closing, I really don't blame Ford for the engineering preventing easier repairs or standard maintenance procedures. The blame falls on guys more concerned where their cup holders located and the trim package; too useless to swing a wrench anymore.

@@lancehughes4132 I like the way you think! Great idea to re-grease them.

@@jacobsupgrades Look Jacob, re-grease all of those bearings. The tensioner pulley on the alt. water pump side, is LEFT HAND THREAD. I found out the hard way so take note. The tensioner spring on these should last 200k plus. Don't forget the lock tight.

@78BroncoOscar95, I'm glad to help out! Did you get it first try? 🤙🏻

@@jacobsupgrades yep got it first try because of your video!

@@78BroncoOscar95 that's great to hear!

Thank you for the input! What truck do you have it mounted on?

I'm using the stock 7cm arm length!

Thank you for the shout out and support! What area of town are you from?

@@jacobsupgrades I’m in KC north but seen the truck near NKC.

@@ryanw1639 Nice! I'm in the Parkville area. What ride do you drive?

Usually around 195 degrees Fahrenheit with a mostly empty truck.

Yes, too much oil can cause too much stress and resistance on the motor. I would drain some out until you're in the ideal range on the dip stick.

I believe it is! A previous owner installed it.

@@jacobsupgrades Hows the steering play with the new rag joint compared to the old one? Does the steering feel a bit more tightened up/less play with it? Thanks.

@@78BroncoOscar95 it feels much firmer with better response. I also replaced the drag link, tie rod and ball joints. All together it made a big difference.

Good call, I need one! Yes, there is a much easier way to change it by flipping the seat up and getting to the metal plug you mentioned.

Yeah for the love of god do not use the stupid plastic plug. Strips out super easy and is nothing but a hassle.

@@usa_dobson8967 thanks for the advice!

Yes I use Permatex water pump gasket maker amzn.to/3XCjdfK

It's been about a year since I installed this last and its been holding strong. Time will tell how well it will hold up over the factory RTV / Silicone.

@@jacobsupgradesthanks for the reply. I was curious if it was still holding. I used an adhesive and mine broke again (but I think the stuff I used was old and I knew better than trying to use it).

@@pennesnatcherinc what adhesive did you use?

@@jacobsupgrades some old construction adhesive i think. Gonna redo it all at some point this month.

lol did you find it whole or in pieces?

@@jacobsupgrades The car was a piece of junk and I had no idea what I was doing so it seized the cam later, but I was able to take the manifold back off and pull the rag out. No damage. It seized because I rtv the throttle body on and block the map sensor port lmao so much fuel

lol at least you got the rag out!

Carbs are for boomers

Nice! What motor are you running?

I totally agree!

@@jacobsupgrades I'm never as lucky as you. Pleased this didn't turn into a big deal.

Me too! I was kicking myself when I realized what happened.

Haha that's funny! I started it then it sounded muffled after a couple seconds so I shut it down. Then it hit me that I didn't remove the towel!

@@jacobsupgrades LOL, I understand- we've all been there at some stage. Just like almost ALL mechanics at some stage, at least once in their career, will refill the motor with oil after forgetting to put the sump plug in. Or kick over the motor so you can check oil level without a filter on it yet... It shows character that you can admit mistakes and actually share them to help the less experienced...

Gracias senor!

The top track may have settled down on to the glass binding it up would be my guess. Or sand / dirt in the lower track.

You would think if it failed it would be in 2WD but it's not the case. My theory behind it is if you have 4WD and happen to need it to get out of a situation it's a fail safe if the vacuum fails. For instance stuck on a beach with a rising tide, or forest fire or flash flooding. Odd that vacuum is still used to engage them though. I'm not sure on the new trucks but that would make sense to go electronic. Makes me wonder how well it would work in standing water and mud though. It's too bad they got rid of the flex fuel option, I fill up with E85 when I can find it and usually save $1 per gallon.

They are pricy but they definitely stand behind their product. I've been very happy with mine. I had to remove my front ones when I jumped up to 35" tires because they rubbed the mudflaps, I really miss them on gravel and trails.

Welcome to the channel! I recommend distilled water if you're mixing your own antifreeze coolant. I use 50/50 green premix. If it's an original 1972 motor it's the first year Ford installed hardened valve seats. Meaning you don't require any lead additives to the fuel. If you don't drive it often I would use premium ethanol free gas. Prestone 50/50 premixed coolant 6 pack - amzn.to/48O9vcw

@@jacobsupgrades Thank you very much Jacob!!! If it is an original '72 engine, thank you for your clarifications, here in Spain the mechanics do not know these engines and it is always good if someone takes the trouble to respond. Thank you very much, greetings!

@@jesus9755 I'm glad to help out! I'm sure that's a rare truck and engine over there. Did you import the truck yourself?

@@jacobsupgrades Good afternoon Jacob, I imported it through a company based in Germany "Hot Rod Imports" I went from Spain to Germany to see the Ford and I saw it and bought it. Import it in a truck to the south of Spain

@@jesus9755 that's really cool! Welcome to the classic Ford family!

lol nice catch, I guess spell check didn't help me there.

Thank you for the feedback!

When I first realized what I had done I felt like I had a bowling ball in my stomach lol. I had to scroll back through my video to verify I had actually left the towel in there before tearing it back apart, I was in disbelief. Thank you for the support! I need to make it up to Dearborn one of these days. I have two trucks that were built in Motown and I'm sure there's a ton of history to check out.

If you have the key try wd40 and compressed air then work it with the key. PB Blaster works the best if you let it set up then try the key and compressed air. amzn.to/3KQ40Qz

Sounds like an issue I had with my first camper. It ended up being the trailer’s 7 prong trailer plug that needed replaced. Here’s a detailed video on how I diagnosed another trailer brake issue with my second camper by process of elimination. I bet your issue is with your trailer. Start with the trailer plug and if that’s not the issue, follow your trailer brake wires from front to back to identify if there are any frayed, pinched, or cut wires.
