You may want to start oil changes every 5000 to 6000 mi, ford's had alot of problems with their variable valve timing systems especially the cam phasers. They have extensive very small passages for the oil pressure to adjust valve timing, easily clogged by the smallest amount of sludge buildup. Also those new 7.3L engines have been known for camshafts delaminating, food for thought. Thanks for your videos as always be blessed.

Minor suggestion. When you pull the wiper blades off put the wiper arm back down against the glass. They are spring loaded and if you leave them up there is a possibility they can slam into the windshield and crack it. Especially if you are cleaning the windshield. It's really easy to bump the arm and make it slam down.

@nobodynoone25008 ай бұрын
Yup, need 2 tools to do it "right", or just distilled water to get you going. You should first use a tester to be sure there is enough acid the water won't freeze. Second, use a battery filling jug if you have an old type battery. If you use AGM, which are mostly decent (i would avoid optima and clones tho), oversize it a bit to counter for the lack of maint. Either way best to just bite the bullet and buy a quality battery when it's time. I always measure my battery box/area to fit the largest I can, but be aware of where the posts are, polarity, height, etc.

For battery post anti-corrosion I use a copper anti-seize called Jet-Lube SS30, it lists usage as an electrical contact anti-corrosion on its product sheet. SS-30 is a bit thicker/waxier than some more light-grease consistency anti-seize products as the base is a clay/petroleum mix. I used to have issues with one GMC where I had to clean the battery posts every 18 months or it wouldn't start, once I used that it never happened again for the remaining decade that I had it. I also use it on the hub-centric part of my wheels, after having had the joy of a forged aluminum wheel not wanting to come off my Dodge Power Wagon (just a very light surface coat, you don't want surplus amounts wandering over to your brakes).

Quick tip for changing wiper blades. Try not to leave up the wiper arms up without the blades on because they act as a hammer and can crack your windshield if you bump them or if for some reason they decide to fall. You can also use a mousepad, shop rag, or other guard to keep them from scratching the window. While they are down.

The tire chain on the drivers side is correct the passenger side is upside down. When installing chains like those you want the end of the cross links to have the hook end facing up so the sharp end of the hook is not against the sidewall of your tire so it dont chew up the sidewalls. I was taught that by an old school truck driver. It's a good practice tires aren't cheap.
