ALL FORD DAY, NOT FOUND ON ROAD DEAD, BUT WE CAN FIX EM! DAY IN THE SHOP 460

[@rmp608]

The Ranger owner is very ...very lucky to have Jimmy working on his truck. Done Right!!!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thank you for saying so! :)

[@robiecarmichael9958]

Good morning Jimmy. Yes sir you surely put in the effort and labor on that ranger. Although the owner is spending a ton on it, it will still be way cheaper than a new one. Hope you have a great day.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks 👍 It will be a solid truck once we are done with it!

[@Scott_69HemiDart]

Another Great day in the shop!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks for the support Scott!

Onion by Ford . Keep peeling.😅

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Good one!

[@lloydweems6237]

Nice job on the Ranger, at least it wasn’t a 4.0 four wheel drive like my grandson’s. If I need to do the same work on it that engine is coming out. Have a great day.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Right on, those are a different animal for sure!

[@AutomotiveEvangelist]

Jimmy, you should edit these Ranger videos into a specific video about replacing those seals. I bet you would get a good response from DIY guys wanting to fix these leaks themselves and not wanting to pay 30 hours labor to a shop.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

I just might do that for my vacation week coming up in a month. :)

[@wandalivezey2144]

congratulations on 460 days in the shop!!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thank you!

Good day Jimmy, Pulling transmissions on a regular basis is tough work…..hard on our sexy males bodies. I raise a glass to you, brother.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Man it is tuff, usually sore a day or two after. But gotta make it work!

[@steveanderson949]

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks for the video Jimmy! I've been fixing outdoor heaters today for a local bar and restaurant.... and the problem was... wasps!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Good stuff! Those things can make a mess, ants also.

[@randy5411]

It could be that when a manufacturer claims to have triple tested a product, it may have failed the first two tests. If it failed the third time, but worked on the fourth, I'm sure they have a sticker for, "Quadruple Tested". Lol gravity checking into the tub of coolant.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Rofl, that sound about right!

[@daveunbranded]

Working on that makes you look like you murdered a Smurf

Torqued at 249 KZbin foot-pounds. Must have had blue silicone on the checkout lanes at Wal-Mart next to the nail clippers and candy bars. Did you reinstall the same water pump and thermostat?

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Oh yeah! New goodies for this one!

[@Toolaholic7]

Had one new alternator no good out of the box,put it in and it was overcharging

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Man I’ve seen some sketchy things with them. Not sure what’s going on in the rebuilt dept, lol.

[@oldbiker9739]

A Ford day is a pay day .

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Haha, oh yeah!

[@MindsEyeVisualGuitarJourney]

Hey Jimmy, I'm putting a new starter on today, On the old starter the big bare braided wire from the solenoid to the starter motor, corroded away. Would it be worthwhile to put just the light coating of some kind of Grease on the cable to thwart corrosion? Or is there nothing that would work like that, and nothing to worry about since the starter will now probably last the life of the rest of the car.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

It depends on how bad the corrosion is, if the cable is puffing up I try and clean it with battery terminal cleaner or similar and preshrink wrap it if possible. Sometimes they need to be replaced. Minor corrosion or discoloration shouldn’t be an issue.

[@bradleysmith6442]

I do believe on day 1 you had mentioned pulling the engine and doing engine reseal.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Yeah, if they had done it that way as I asked, I would have. But instead we added one more repair at a time. But it’s all good, we made it work!

[@bradleysmith6442]

@@JimmyMakingitwork yes sir.

[@mlieser1230]

That Ford pickup was a 1968. The Ranger owner is going to be a major contributor to the Project Truck engine fund! 🙂🙂 He must really love that truck.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Fingers crossed! Haha He drove away happy as can be once I got done! Crate engine came in today. ;)

Anyone ever heard of 13.5 volts at a turn signal that lights but doesn’t flash 🤔 both sides

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Poor ground? Use a test light, old style incandescent one to back probe the sockets with the lights on and see if anything changes?

Well at least you know that the timing chain is new

Very true!

Anyone who tAlks 💩 about Steven has never spared with him 😁🥋

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Haha agreed!

[@sirsparksalot]

Looking at service data for rear axle bolts and calipers bolts they say discard them. I get the impression Bob Jr’s justifying his value to the company by generating parts sales with these specifications. Critical engine components with torque to yield bolts I would agree, what’s your opinion Mr. Jimmy.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Yeah, most torque to yield bolts should be replaced. I specially critical fasteners like internal engine. But they can also be checked for stretch with a straight edge. Some Manufacturers have you do that actually.

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

Numbers growing but should be faster 🫤 great channel should be 200k

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Really appreciate that!
