1995 Ford F250 Maintenance - Glow Plug Relay, Blower Motor, Belt Tensioner, Rusted Spring Perch

We need to do some fixing on my 1995 F250 Powerstroke. She won't start, won't blow, and she's slowly falling apart. But we can fix it!

It took me a long time to figure out the value of "paid for" but I finally got it. So I sold my leased car and bought an older one that I could pay cash for then every month I saved the amount I was previously paying monthly. Before long I had enough to buy a nice car for cash.

[@ewhibs]

The BEST part is you talking. You say stuff that kills me and I love hearing your knowledge explained.

[@richardbryant7165]

Your truck is like most vehicles owned by mechanics, the last one that gets proper attention. The way you talk while working on stuff is much like I do when I'm working with my kids. The best way for others to learn is to explain what you are doing and why you do it a certain way. Just subscribed because your videos make sense to me and I might just learn something along the way. Keep up the great work.

[@johndowe7003]

mechanics always have shitty car/trucks, theyre super minty though

[@psavel274]

Totally agree. In my 25 years of turning wrenches, being tied down in someone else's shop all day, I never wanted to touch my own shit. Just go home, eat some dinner and relax. I am sad to say I neglected a lot of stuff on my vehicles because I burned myself out with everyone else's junk all day. Lol so true

[@S3phy]

17:07 that resistor-looking part is a thermal fuse. They go open over a certain temperature. I have replaced them in waffle makers and such. They're 10 for $1 on eBay or AliExpress from chinese sellers :)

[@paulravitsky2898]

There usually is a temperature {in degrees C} printed on the fuse. Stay as close to that value as going higher could cause a fire!

[@beny8]

They even bury those in transformers. Replaced one in my early 80's hifi amplifier two weeks ago.

[@derbruzzler7574]

Replaced many of these in all kinds of electrical stuff. Its purpose is to prevent overheating of the resistor unit when the motor is blocked.

[@flvince]

The best thing is it's paid for, drive it till the wheels fall off!!

[@paulnel1526]

Hi from South Africa. Please carry on with commenting. Silent movies went out of fashion 100 years ago! :-) The goody that went open in the fan resistor is a temperature fuse. Used in kettles, irons, tumble driers, cookers, hair driers etc. They cost about $0.50 and the temperature it fuses at is usually printed on the side. You can just jump it. They are usually placed by manufacturers to force failure and then replacement. We are not supposed to keep stuff working remember! Throw away society! Thanks for the great videos.

[@131R30]

You do not talk too much; explanations needed and appreciated!

I wouldn't watch without your commentary, I don't know much beyond the basics, so knowing what is going on and the learning experience which makes it interesting. For what it's worth, I think you also pitch it at the right level, neither dumbing down nor overcomplicating. Please continue doing the exact same thing. It's good that you ask though.

For those who don't know exactly what you are doing, your narration is most helpful. I don't not like doing car repair, but enjoy watch and understanding what a professional is doing.

Thank you for your narrations.

[@WhiskeyGulf71]

"The people" in the comments should stop talking !

[@BVHinc]

If you are noticing that your heater is only putting out air in the defrost mode it is because the white vacuum line near the passenger side hood hinge on your truck is disintegrated. Replace that rotted line with regular rubber vacuum hose. Cut it back into the loom so you can connect to an area of white line that has been shielded from UV exposure. The other side of the line goes to the actuator on top of the heater box. Great videos and I appreciate the fact that you film the humility you experience instead of hiding it like in the DT466E oil pickup tube bolts that were "missing". Keep it up! Also noted that you have the old tailgate in your scrap bin. Those aluminum trim panels on the tailgates are worth a few bucks to others if you toss it up on craigslist.

[@harveyrousejr.2069]
