Ford E-350 Vacation Ruiner - Emergency Repairs

This is the best independent film that I have seen in years. Dramatis personae and thespianism of a calibre reserved only for the greats. Seamless transitions between stage, and practical locations. A genuine story of life. Classic filmmaking. If not a winner, then a Cannes nominee at its very least.

[@WatchWesWork]

I'll be waiting for a call.

[@cg8469]

The nuclear level sarcasm coupled is just perfect, dealing with used parts guys reading a diff eq book. I love it, this was basically a short form Coen brothers film. More, please.

Dunno what to think about this. I came to this channel and liked it because of the good content without all this tick tock reenactment stuff...

[@joshlevin8595]

I have a couple questions.: Why would a parts guy be reading a differential equations book? Is it because the parts guy always thinks he knows better than you do?

[@johncraig406]

[@davidcombs8458]

East St. Louis was my dad’s hometown. When he left to join the Air Force, his family moved to Washington Park. If you didn’t address mail to my grandparents at Washington Park, you got yelled at. So, I’m guessing Jimbo’s is in Washington Park. 😬

[@CRSALSERO]

Good friends are hard to find. You are a good guy.

[@AmericanLocomotive1]

Fun Fact: Those first year gas 4R100s had a fatal flaw where if you got off than on the gas during a 1-2 shift around 4,000 rpm - the mechanical diode would detonate every time with a 100% success rate. Ford quickly reverted back to the older sprag design on gas 4r100s. They left the mechanical diode in the diesel trucks for a while longer, because they figured "they never will get to 4000 rpm, so it's fine". It wasn't fine. Quality is Job 1 I guess.

[@blackhatch46]

It's actually a pretty damn good transmission for the era. I can hold a lot more power than the manual equivalents. I also figured if you are replacing on for an RV, you may as well get a built one. They aren't that expensive at all.

[@werta5000]

I find Ford goes about things in the Frank Sentara method, I did it my way

[@JMKady76]

Hey every once in a while you just need to let the customers do the R&D work. Always found it funny when I worked in their dealer we got hammered on "Fix it right the first time" when they were busy with "Build it right the fourth time".

[@SPW812]

Yeah, it’s not really wrenching on a Ford unless there are layers of rust and broken studs.

[@sccarguy8242]

Yes, that is exactly what it’s like to be a mechanic in the south. Most shops don’t even own a torch, and your lucky to find one exhaust shop in a county, because they last the life of the vehicle. BTW that opening sequence was fire !!

[@jesserusso5598]

We do got it pretty easy lolz…. But we still have to break out the torch for exhaust components and every once in awhile a tierod

[@AdamB12]

That's so weird, myself being a citizen of the salt belt all my life. My gas axe is the equalizer for just about any rusted component.

[@melvingibson4525]

There's exhaust shops but they exist to make cars LOUD instead of stock replacement lol

[@Hdogdog7]

Can confirm, our shop has a torch but we hardly ever use it. We pretty much use it exclusively to take out exhaust bolts that are about to break, no rust at all.

I felt the anxiety in my shoulder blades when you said motorhome! Just recently a buddy of mine bought a huge cabin cruiser with an inboard Cummins and asked me to work on it for him... I laughed so hard at him he wasn't sure how to take it annnnd i said no, non, nein, nope, nah-uh, nodda, not gonna do it... I worked on pleasure craft and also offshore fishing boats at the wharf every night during lobster and tuna season after having worked at the dealership all day and every wekend for almost a decade on the side and there's no amount of money that could get me back in the engine bay of a boat. Now, that being said, you bring me your well maintained Mercury outboard or Honda outbaord and you might catch me in a good mood, but if you bring me something beat to snot and a dogs breakfast, you may as well just keep on truckin' right past my driveway.
