LIFTING THE CAB on my 2003 Single TURBO F150!! ***Gramps Teardown Ep. 2***

[@AutoDetour]

Now take a shot every time I say “disconnect” 😂 JK…..you’d die.

[@Panelson74]

Help on some pictures?

[@alecthompson5856]

Could we get a link to the LED head lamp? There's so many on amazon not sure which is this specific one. This one you have looks nice as hell.

[@AutoDetour]

You bet! Here you go. amzn.to/3jlZbR9

[@Patman03sprcrw]

20:56 you're gonna want a dual core radiator anyways. No big deal breaking the vent line on the stock single core radiator

[@AutoDetour]

Already bought one. 😉

[@dustinkinard4032]

Coming along! It’s going to be way cool to see the new built motor go in

[@matt-be8kt]

The vacuum line you plugged looked like it was to the idle air control IAC which should not be plugged, were you having idling problems?

[@AutoDetour]

Nope. The IAC is still routed to the intake pipe. This was a large vacuum port that went over to something on the passenger side of the engine. Don’t remember what now. It’s been too long since I removed it. Lol

[@Stienecker]

Happy Gilmore accomplished that feat no more than an hour ago.

[@AutoDetour]

Did he though?

[@StraightLineCycles]

If you don't do, you don't learn. Great job man!

[@AutoDetour]

Thanks Aaron! Some lessons are more expensive that others. LOL

[@mastermechanicfelipe4641]

Great video, thank you for sharing.

[@calebcobb9163]

I got the same year F-150 but with the 4.6 instead of the 5.4.

[@WS1_AUTOS_N_STUFF]

Awesome 😎 I have two of the trucks I’m needing to lift cabs off🤘 I’d look into the 4R100 transmission! I know Monster Transmissions sell a beefy one for under $3k

[@austinford9956]

Stay away from monster scamissions

[@anythingroam2423]

Moments before you mentioned it- I said to myself out loud "so thats the back of the motor ehh?" haha Ive never seen mine. like the back of my head cant see it without a mirror. haha

[@AutoDetour]

😂 Exactly! Seemed to so weird to see it.

[@lglg4151]

Great job From Argentina 🇦🇷 Keep it up

[@AutoDetour]

So awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@aspenyukon6845]

Accufab teksid cobra motor swap. He holds the nhra record for a stock block 5sec 250mph 3500hp cobra 4.6

[@AutoDetour]

I'll have to look that up! That's a crazy amount of power out of a 4.6!

[@aspenyukon6845]

Vid “accufab coyote billet block” he explains the cobra block...

[@timdulan]

If you loctite the studs and anti seize the nuts they will work properly 😄 I would also get arp studs as well

[@AutoDetour]

Well, that makes a lot of sense. LOL

[@Panelson74]

If you still have this apart how about some better pictures of that vent tube stuff, I can see it but not well enough to make out how it is attached. One is the transfer case the other is the transmission, tube.

[@greggc8088]

Some people laugh, but every time I do a motor job in the shop on a V8 F150 97 up I yank the cab off. I've tried it the out the top way many times and removing the body takes about the same amount of time and is a lot easier since the engine is all out in the open. A big plus is a look on the customer's face when they come by and take a look. LOL Thanks for sharing this project. Very interesting. Hope it goes well for you.

[@AutoDetour]

Haha! Probably the same look I get from my neighbors when they walk by and I have my garage door open. 😂

[@venturacogrown6140]

what long block did you go with?

[@rideshareog]

Ford should consider my design innovation: Cab hinges. The cab opens similarly to a hood.© You KNOW you're going to have to lift off the cab prematurely. 😮

[@gman0724]

Auto detour, I have a 4.6 li triton. I think it would be so awesome if you took a 4.6 block and built it block up and get as much horsepower as possible, they can handle more than 1,000. Or do it with a 5.4. I think that would gain a lot of attention and it would be awesome having a 1,000 horsepower gramps.

[@AutoDetour]

My new block is a built 5.4. Internals are rated for well over 1,000 so we'll see how far we push it....

[@gman0724]

@@AutoDetour Niice, can't wait!

[@jesusisreal3209]

@@AutoDetour I meant to suggest few months ago a early navigator 5.4 build and a late model 10 or 6 speed auto they bolt up to the 5.4 far as I know.. really excited to your built 5.4 2v. fantastic work and channel bless you.

[@jesusquezada8476]

Did he install ngk plugs on @ ford?!

[@Patman03sprcrw]

I see you're also rocking a giant shelf full of various engine parts too :)

[@AutoDetour]

It’s the best kind of shelf to have!

[@FMVGinc]

Great video. Very informative. Would be super nice to have a video dedicated to removing and reinstalling the cab. Wire disconnects, oil, a/c, etc. that needs to be drained. You make it look really easy and the results do open up a ton of possibilities for maintenance and upgrades.

[@AutoDetour]

That's a great idea. Maybe I can put one together with the footage once I get the cab back on. I'm sure the EPA will be extra interested in a video on how I disconnected the a/c, LOL
