Why does he keep saying the exhaust will come down with the engine? Dropping the bracket alittle bit lowers the engine?
@BrianBarnettTX
@BrianBarnettTX 4 күн бұрын
Right, that front clip cradles the engine. If you pulled those four 18mm bolts out completely, you could (after disconnecting a few more things) remove the engine from below. As the engine comes down with the front clip, the exhaust comes with it (if you disconnect the mid pipe, then just the manifold comes down with the engine and the rest of the exhaust could stay in the car)

@@pleb2dev605 you only need to drop the clip 1-2 inches. That will earn you enough clearance to get tools in and twist the rack out. If you pull the bolts all the way out, I'd suggest threading it back in a couple turns to keep the front clip/subframe suspended and lined up. Might be a trick to line up the bolt holes if you remove the bolts and support the clip on stands (though that could get you a lot more wiggle room). It'll take some time and patience, but it'll come out. Be careful under the car!

I'll probably have this one ready to sell this winter. It's too short inside for me to keep (about 5'11" ceiling). If I do another I'll probably just swap in a 3/4-ton axle or maybe just build a custom Ford 9" and utilize single rear wheels. I'll probably finish this one as a solar/battery rig and ditch the traditional genset and mounted propane tank.

@@kmoreno8278 yes the appliances require 110v, so generator or shore power. The water heater and water pump operate on 12v. Solar can be added to power 12v fixtures and charge the battery. A power inverter would allow the solar production to be turned into 110v but still requires batteries for a place to hold electricity.

Then it will work in park but not neutral, then neutral but not park. Can I retro fit the selector shaft type switch onto my C4? Right now it has a red plastic cover that moves with the shaft as it changes gears. CAN I RETROFIT THIS TYPE OF SWITCH TO MY CAR?? In other words do all C4's have this keyed shaft? The switch in the car has the same type of plug.

Technically yes a switch could be rewired on the transmission instead of the column. Optimally a replacement switch is the best fix. Those column-mounted switches function the same way, but for some reason cost 3X as much. In the interim, you could jump the circuit with an alligator clip so it would start in any position, or put a toggle switch in-line, but either of those options may interfere with the reverse lights.

excellent tutorial! No need to buy the extra spacer, just remove the one spot-welded to your old switch, like you did. And yes, usually it is the little bent tab on the rheostat coil which goes bad. I've had a couple switches where they had just broken off. Inside, those mid-1960's FoMoCo light switches seem to be made quite stout and beefy; I found some of the copper contacts (for the high beam circuit) with some discoloration, meaning they had gone through some excessive amperage in their past - despite the integral circuit breaker! Other than that, all I've dismantled over the years usually were perfectly fine after 50-plus years. You might want to add some relays for low and high beams in the future, eventually, but that's up to you.

How to re-connect the Rack pinion connector to have a communication with the steering angle sensor, My 2008 xc90 rack pinion, was replaced but the mechanic, doesn't connect the cable back..now i have the signal all the timeon.?
@BrianBarnettTX
@BrianBarnettTX 8 ай бұрын
Thanks for watching! I don't recall a wire transmitting signal from the rack itself to the steering angle sensor. I think the sensor is measuring where the steering wheel is, understanding that the rack and column are in a fixed relationship (unlike splined steering shafts). So you may actually have a problem with the steering angle sensor (gotta take apart the steering wheel/airbag to replace it... sounds awful but it's not a bad job). Sometimes an alignment cures it. Is your wheel at 12 o'clock when going straight down the highway?

Glad you got it fixed! It's a rather inadmissable flaw in the cooling system I think, given that when they blow, if the driver isn't paying attention, the head gaskets will fry in a couple minutes, necessitating much more work and $$ (which also would not be covered under Ford warranty). Or maybe the ECM would shut off the motor before that happens? Good job.

I had a 2001 Excursion; heater hoses exploded. A buddy's 2006 F150 heater hoses just exploded. And this 2018 Nav. So I guess if you own a Ford, keep a spool of heater hose and lots of clamps? Oddly enough, that drip described at the end of the video disappeared after that day and never returned. Also the heat inside the car seemed to work a little better (but in general the HVAC Sucks in the Nav)... Ford replaced the entire system and still had no idea why the rear AC refused to get cold. Got a Yukon now... Way better, even though the interior is a bit more Walmart-esque.
