I build the dies that make the oil pans. Ford was running out of time for the tooling so they went with thus Designs to get production going.

[@NoName-wn2bp]

Hi @fordtechmakuloco. I accidentally bought the matching oil dipstick -6750-A instead of -6750-B. Would that make a difference? I got the correct matching oil pickup as you have.

[@user-er4hi8go5i]

Brian, Does Ford make this one piece oil pan for a 2017 Raptor? I have been to the dealer 4 times for this leaking plastic pan.

[@heidyr7957]

Where did you buy the oil pump pick up tube?

[@namasteforgetmenot]

Taping the torque spec sheet to the trans pan is pure gold, love it! Keep 'em coming!

[@mikechiodetti4482]

A Very Good, Thorough, Professional Job! Hopefully that customer will get many many leak free miles!

[@djwilson48625]

From THAT spot, possibly, but there's 4397 other leak spots on them junk ass engines.

[@fieldsofomagh]

Love the attention to factory details in the reassembly. The new metal pan looks the biz and is made to last. Congrats on doing a mighty job and explaining to all and sundry, what to do to get a similar outcome.

[@fredsalter1915]

Every vid Brian puts out is solid gold. Big thanks to you, Brian!!!!!

[@thebuyingseller]

Ford people recommending the cleaning steps are the same people that deployed the plastic 2-piece pan to begin with 😂😂

[@stephanparis6887]

I've been a subscriber to this channel ever since Brian was shooting videos at the dealership then in his 1-car garage and have always enjoyed these multi-part, really long videos. I've personally done some of these repairs myseld and do appreciate the step-by-step details. Recently however, I've found it harder to watch really long videos because im now busier than ever working and also find it a little exhausting to watch really long videos after a long day at work. I may have also gotten used to Rainman Ray's shorter videos while Brian was on vacation for 4 months at a time lol

[@FordTechMakuloco]

I honestly don't put out long multi part videos that often. I like the shorter more shocking videos and so does the audience but after all this is a learning channel and not a sitcom like some channels like to pretend to be.

[@2491kridge]

A $250 tub of wipes might be the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard lol

Brian you remind me of a machinist I used to work with very thorough and complete. Would be great if you could teach younger people your methods and thought process. Thanks for making these videos!!!

[@sterlingrachwal1320]

That's a hell of a lot of work. No wonder it's so expensive getting this dun.

[@chrischiampo7647]

I Super Appreciate The Time You Put Into Your Videos and Your Thoroughness And Detail Explanations 😊😀😊 You Are The Best Ford Tech Hands Down 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Thank You Again Brian

[@rickburt7055]

Fantastic step-by-step instructions. Kudos to you Brian and thank you.

[@ozzstars_cars]

Nice and precise! Great job Brian with the two part series.

[@billsimpson604]

Great video, as usual. It makes me glad I don't have one of those. Although up there, with the road salt, I would just let it leak until the vehicle was ready for recycling. That big oil capacity pan reminded me of a video where a woman drove her Toyota from L.A. to San Francisco with less than a quart of black oil in the oil pan. The man who drained the oil could not believe she made it with so little oil in the engine. They changed the filter, filled it up, and the car ran fine. People like that are the main reason why they make oil pans so large. And more oil means the contamination is diluted. I was surprised when a railroad engineer said that they never changed the 200 gallons of oil in the locomotives he ran. He said they would just add however many gallons it had lost, and change the 2 huge oil filters on the engine. I don't know if that is true or not.

[@AZMTB]

My 2017 with 60k miles on it leaks SO BAD around the oil pan and I'm dieing to do this. Thank you for the detailed videos!

[@StarD435]

We're you able to do this yourself?

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

phenomenal video man! I wish I would done this on my 17 Ford Raptor! Thank you for doing this!

[@fudgie80]

Thanks for the videos just finished installing mine. Your info was a lot of help. The screws W503279S437 they sent me was the same as the two 6 x 30mm so I cut the two longer oil pan bolts off.

[@FordTechMakuloco]

wait you mean the bolts are wrong or they sent you the wrong bolts. I double checked and the part number is correct.

[@chiefordnance]

Ford could've even used a stamp steel oil pan from the factory eliminating all this down the road maintenance requirement.

[@rcsontag]

Very nice for a fully equipped shop with an assistant.

[@chrisforker7487]

Been looking forward to this video and I don’t even have this gen Ford!

[@travelwithyorkpaula2522]

My 2017 is at Ford right now getting pan replaced for the 2nd time. 2020 was 1st time so running about every 3 to 4 years. Costing about 750. I asked about this 1 pc pan but all I got was not aware of it. But they did tell me this one has a 2 yr warranty. Lol.

[@rn2cro03]

Thanks Brian!

[@jeremydoblinger3609]

These have been hard to work on for some time..thanks for showing us this repair fordtek appreciate it..ive got a 2019 with the 3.5 ecoboost and an generally a ford guy so ive follwed you for years.. dang there not giving the etching wipes away are they...

[@miketeeveedub5779]

Thanks for the video Brian - you're helping people realize that Ford on track to be the next major domestic automaker to go bankrupt with crap like this. BTW - I own 2 Fords in addition to the VW. There's a reason my KZbin icon isn't the blue oval.

[@davem3789]

Quality work. I am awaiting delivery of a new oil pan for a 7.3 Currently my engine has been level in the air for a few days and I am still getting some slight oil dripping down. Just wondered how you were able to get the oil to stop completely and not affect the cure of the RTV?

[@MendicantBias1]

I’m on team smear. Get that sealant in there!

[@thearrow5793]

Thank you man it’s a lot of work and information…good job man keep going 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Ford experimenting with Customer as usual, where is the proper engineering and processes concerning longevity. Aviation manufacture would not get a passing grade because of safety. I have seen these results for so many subpar quality concerns over the years watching your videos...Thank You for efforts!!

[@D2O2]

[@georgeburns7251]

Ford is an auto company that quit making cars because they were crap. And now you want to believe that they can make SUVs and trucks?

[@contractor556]

Well idk… have you seen the aviation sector lately 😅😮… either way everything went to shit they want us to fail at everything. Orchestrated Societal Collapse

[@JerryPonds]

I was gonna say...​@@D2O2

[@jaxsonhugh9334]

I use to use a cheap little 9v rechargeable screw driver to run my bolts in. Those little drivers have just enough power to run screws in without over tightening.

[@MendicantBias1]

Lame. Use an air impact! Can’t be crossed threaded if there are no threads left. 😂

[@Van_Liberty]

Excellent job. Now, maybe you can help we late model Ford Transit owners solve Ford's atrocious design issue with rain and salty winter road water pooling all over the top of the engine from a poorly designed windshield / cowl seal that eventually causes severely rusted engine bolts over time. Every time it rains, all the bolt hole wells in the intake manifold fill up to overflowing...It's Annoying!!! C'mon FORD!!!

[@FordTechMakuloco]

I will never work on a Ford Transit.

Great job Brian 👍❤️❤️ thanks for the video. Take care of yourself and family and friends and be Blessed ❤️.

[@RonnieLanglois]

Hi - I really like how you did the vids. Very nice details. I would love to have you replace the pan on my 2017 (prod date 11/16) but I'm too far away from you. I want to have this done because I'm tired of having the plastic replace every two years. I do not want to do this much work so I asked my local mech and he said he would do it if I get the parts. I found a pan from Autozone (Dorman product) that says it is for my truck. I talked to them about the oil pick up needing to be shorter. Ford shows the LK4Z6622-B is for a 2018. I am concerned about the different pickup b/c Autozone and Dorman don't show any info on needing a different pick up. If I put the wrong thing in it could result in a blown engine. I'm hoping you could help me with making sure these parts are the right one. Thanks in advance. Ronnie

[@tj7870]

and that, is why you make the BIG money!

[@johnstangel8918]

I need to ask you a question where are you located? What would you charge to put this in if the customer had the new oil pan and the sealant and it's a 2-wheel drive is it easier. You really do good work I'm impressed.

[@rickburt7055]

I'm trying to imagine a dealership tech doing the precleaning of these surfaces. 😂😂

[@a-bar-b5196]

Yeah really !!!

[@williamtoney2599]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 and torquing with a impact wrench …😂

[@billsimpson604]

You would be lucky if you found any shop which did more that wipe the pan with a shop rag before they went around the pan with the cheapest sealant they could buy and bolted it up to the block, after letting the block drain overnight, then hitting it with some brake cleaner and wiping it dry. It makes me glad that all I had to do on my 2000 Expedition when I was under it changing the trans filter was to wipe off the steel oil pan with an old rag to get the tiny bit of oil seep off of it. With no road salt use here, there isn't a bit of rust under it except on the unpainted drive shaft.

[@ericevans2865]

I wonder if the guy that came up with the three step prep process is the same person that thought the plastic/metal two piece pan was a good idea.

[@billsimpson604]

Some German cars have them, so they probably thought that was a great idea.

[@ricardochique696]

Is this part of a Ford TSB or an aftermarket upgrade? Just had mine done last December along with the phasers replacement under warranty. Great job on the videos love following your channel..👍🏼

[@eddiev6013]

[@jarebbarcus1020]

Thank you for this series of videos! I have a 2018 that has had the plastic pan replaced once and think I am going to have to do this to fix it for good. One quick question, you mentioned a pdf on the adhesive patterns and pan reinstall. Is that available or I’m just overlooking? Thanks for all you do on these videos.

[@FordTechMakuloco]

Everything is located in the video description yes.

[@nickvogel7934]

Fantastic set of videos. Is there a Ford oilpan that isnt a PITA? Thought it was just the 6.7 but the 3.5 is a close second I guess.

[@oldbiker9739]

that pan must constantly move around with heat and cold cycles , that sealer must be very flexible also .

[@richardthomas1743]

HEY! Good morning and thumbs UP!!

[@jw8578]

@FTM from what I can tell the 3.5 has a steel oil pan but a plastic transmission pan in the 2023s. Is this correct? Are the plastic transmission pans a problem? TIA

[@ronlind1757]

With this extremely poor oil pan design and the prone leaking issues (for 3.5 eb motor in 2017 and early 2018 F-150's), Ford should step up to the plate and issue a TSB on this major engineering design fail. Can't imagine the $$$ expense at a shop, and getting it done correctly as Brian did, to have it done. Pretty tough job for a home driveway repair.

[@georgeburns7251]

[@Krunch2020]

It’s too bad we can’t just get a metal bottom half with captive gasket. Taking the truck apart to replace the top half just isn’t worth it. Apparently Ford RTV sucks and they didn’t have time to let it sit for 1 hour finger tight and then torque and let cure for 24 hours before filling with oil.
