You’re the kind of mechanic everyone wants to work on their cars. Excellent knowledge, excellent workmanship and always above and beyond.

[@FordBossMe]

That's what I strive for

[@bobimbordino3024]

I wonder what he hit to mess up the front end like that. You’re quality of work you do is amazing. Your knowledge is priceless too. I don’t understand why some people are lazy at doing repairs and/or are greedy. Thank you for sharing with us. Love you brother.

[@paulpaintshop103]

That's why in the UK we have the VBRA they come around and check on bodyshops . We are very strict on repair work.

[@vorsprungdurchtech]

I had my expedition at a shop for almost two months for a timing job and they gave it back running like crap and leaking oil. Hate when shops don’t just to a good job. It’s not a hard concept. I wish all these shops had your ethics. Good man Rich!

[@carrsllccarrillo6507]

Rich, if there is anything that comes to mind when watching your videos is this: Integrity. It shows how much of a professional you are and how much knowledge you have that many "mechanics" or "parts changes" don't. Now I'm not saying all shops are bad but I had my fair share of vehicle repairs that came from other shops that they displayed shotty work and couldn't solve the problem(s) which eventually when they end up in my hands I end up taking time to do the research and testing to get it fixed right. Keep up the good work and stay the "super sleuth" tech that you are! Have a good one!

You know some is not happy with their work, (aka the other shop) have some pride in what you do. I have heard this silly coment from others I have worked with in the past. "Do not fully fix it. It is job security." Ridiculous.

Nice job and fixing all the stuff left by the other shop once again you show your commitment to taking care of the customer and going out of your way to right the wrong.

Good news Rich. I ended up taking the gamble and got my first manifold done successfully on the Dodge. Broken bolt was flush with manifold not head, and it was about the easiest part in the process (used vice grips). Anyways happy I gave it a try. Working room was not great on the Ram 1500 Hemi, but got it done and she's quiet now. Chopped up the hand a bit with the exhaust flange bolt removal, could not find my mechanic gloves and went ahead anyways. Not sure if the Ford's have better working room, anyways. Learned a thing or two in the process. Taker easy man.

[@terryharvey4811]

I recommend a shop that does engine replacement for the very thing you're seeing on this car. When they finish a job, other than for the shinny new engine, you can't tell they've been there. All wiring is put back properly and clipped in place just like new... I know this because they don't do AC work, so I recover and then recharge their jobs when done as needed. Seeing neat work makes me feel good about recommending them..Their customer may never know what good work they do, but I do. I too hate shoddy 1/2 way jobs by other shops..

[@ironcross420]

Had a P71 towed in the shop. No crank (cant remember if crank or not) no start. Two ASE Master Techs couldn't figure it out after 2 days each messing with it. One ran a wire under hood cause something wasn't getting power and still didn't fix it. They asked the "stupid oil /tire changer" to look at it (me also ASE Cert - cause I like diag work and some how the Ford Expert which I am not). Can't remember if I had a cluster or not. I started jiggling wire under dash IRC I got cluster lights, try to start and the CEL wouldnt go out during crank. The primary tech who was issued the RO didn't know where I was at with it and called me stupid about the CEL, that I don't know wtf Im talking about, showed him a Scanner Danner diag training video, now he listens to what I recommend him when hes stumpped. I asked him to crank it when I say. lighting moving wires under the PDB Started right up and asked HTF did I do it. Took me about 1hr or 2 cause I observed them when they were messing with it and none of them started with the diag basics checking powers and grounds at the PDB. Blown fuse and broken wire found. Both Master Techs diag it as needs PCM. Passenger seat had two PCMs, bunch of box store code readers, ignition switch, jump packs, batteries, wires, wrong butt-connectors. etc

I agree with you rich about feeling bad for the customer I helped install a engine cause I wanted to make sure the guy did it right for my neighbor since she's not smart about vehicles and he was a pot smoker so I basically was watching him while helping I cleaned all the passeges of the replacement engine and prepped it for installation and helped bolt it up to the transmission and whatnot

[@thumbsdownclub7514]

Don't blame the customer on the tpms. I "fixed" mine with a square of electrical tape over the tpms indicator.

[@FordBossMe]

Well maybe I should charge the customer like maybe 3/10 of an hour and I'll put electrical tape over a light for them because you said that's appropriate maybe they would be okay with that

[@artemis9789]

I deal with a lot of body shops and auction cars and some of the "repairs" I see make me sick to my stomach. Most seem to go out of their way to make things worse than fixing it correctly. Others are completely unsafe and the vehicle isn't road-worthy in my opinion. My favorite is when they cut a harness and just twist all the wires together. 🙄 Can't imagine why all those dash lights are on and all those fuses are blown 🤣

[@yami4g63]

HUGE peeve of mine as well....or if the customer tried to work on it before.

[@toddburgess6792]

It's amazing how things line up from the factory. Without that memory that gets instilled into the harnesses, I'd never know where anything goes. As for licensing, don't get me started on that scam. This state I live in has a $27 fee and you got yourself a contractor's license to do whatever damage you may. There is no competency required here. :-o

[@LaurenceCMag]

Rich. Thank you for the video. 800 is a steal...my 05 Mini that Ray diagnosed for me, was quoted at 1700-2000 from Mini to replace the ECM. To fix a cyl 4 misfire.

[@FordBossMe]

Well the one directly from Ford instead of a reman one that we got from AutoZone with Ford stamping was $1,200 the funny thing is the one we got from AutoZone was still a Ford ECM just refurbished in the Ford box so we ended up getting it for $800

This sort of reminds me of my situation on my Subaru I probably could’ve done the plugs myself but I am a maintenance tech for winery and we’re in Crush/harvest ,working crazy amount of hours so I have the Subaru dealer do the plugs for me and I always check guys work with this clown left all the variable valve timing harnesses unclipped and they were all flopping around next to the exhaust manifold so I put them back in took five minutes to do, then the service manager tells me oh by the way we topped off your wiper fluid and I’m thinking oh great what did they break on that and sure enough they broke the neck off the little clip that holds neck, i’m never going back to the Subaru dealer I found an awesome independent guy is the next town over 20 minutes away but he’s worth it.

What might have just happened is the previous shop just got him for a bunch of money never fixed it. i understand about the TPMS LOL now you have it and he wants stuff fixed but he just don't have the money now or sick of dumping money and he has to say no. I was there with a KIA Sportage P0133 code they changed every thing MAF, 2 O2''s even the CAT and the light was still popping up a p0133 every other month.. i got sick of taking it to a shop. that's not on top of it needed a new AWD Rear end.

Now if you want the ignition coils done and the spark plugs done you're probably talking about 125 a coil and about $13 a plug about an additional hour and a half labor

I had a 2003 F150 with the 4.6 that lost spark to the #2 cylinder while I was on a trip. The truck had around 5k on the odometer when it happened. The dealer replaced the computer but the truck never ran right. When I got back to where I was stationed, I took it to my dealer and they said it lost compression to the #2 cylinder. Then they said it was ok! My dealer then gave me an extended warranty but the problem got worse. The engine was loosing power, was running badly and my dealer said it was a lean miss🤣. I deployed to Iraq and when I came back the Lemon Law was expired. I was so pissed and sold that truck at a loss with full disclosure! I’m still heartbroken over it!

I need to hear what it is because you saying something's rattling may not be the same sound coming from the phasers it could be coming from something else there's multiple rattling sounds these F-150s make and you have to be sure that you're doing with the same thing that you were dealing with before
