Started back leaking again didn't it

[@mikemccabe1324]

What I’ve sometimes noticed is that when they blow mold the tank (some have) mold edges on the hose nipple. I’ve sat with an exacto knife and an Emory board to make it perfect so it won’t leak.

[@nashguy207]

Great video and tutorial Jeremy. This should help anyone that is not sure how to do this fix! Have a great weekend. God Bless!!

[@tjiacab3272]

Good old plastic parts. I guess 10 years service is not bad. Air filter in wrong is bad news especially if you live in a dusty place, like dirt roads. Engine damage from grit and grime for such a simple air filter install. Thanks for the videos. Good job on the repair.

[@Turfcat150]

Thanks!

[@themowerman]

Thanks for the video mate.. unfortunately we don't have many 5ltr engines over here just as well as the price if fuel is expensive.. still a good fix me old mucker

[@butler386]

Great repair on this Ford. Glad I am not doing that any more. Thanks for the video.

[@balivespaholic]

Thanks for the video.. I’ll working on my truck for the same problem.

[@bushmaster2936]

Pretty crazy that the bottle itself isn't replaceable. : (

[@talibnuman6821]

Excellent video im going to try this i hope it works. Thanks

[@mrstl3000]

Just needed to replace hose with regular heater hose and clamps

[@mikevignoli6687]

Great video. Working on my buddies truck. 2009 F150 and doing the same job. Question: Is it the orange or yellow radiator fluid? His is so dirty, can't tell. Thanks,

[@antman9049]

Great vid bro thank you. I have this same issue but idk if it’s the expansion tank or not yet. I’m gonna try to replace the hose first but if it’s not the hose and the tank itself do I need to buy a whole new hose again ?

[@jamescor1491]

Great video, where can I get the hose connected to the bottom of tank?

[@NitroGuyJH]

Love content such as this!

[@adnacraigo6590]

You are making me want to go repair something.

[@MrJoedotmac]

I fixed the coolant leak at the degas/expansion tank neck by replacing the O-Ring inside of the 90 degree elbow. National/Precision Nitrile Rubber (NBR) O-Ring - 214 $1.29 Found the bad OEM 11 year O-Ring had flattened on the inner circumference. The entire O-Ring was more of a square shape now after many years and heat cycles. Measurements confirmed the condition. Width measured 3.49mm. The inner side to outer side measured 3.06mm. New replacement O-Ring measured 3.79mm

[@eftclipman8834]

Sir, do you have the part number? My 2012 is leaking in the exact same spot..

[@deanmoore420]

Nice job 👍

[@jimsiggy]

Leaking because of poor quality plastic at 10 years old, maybe that's acceptable, but I (my son) warped the head on a less than, 6-year-old Ford. The turbo coolant return nipple cracked (at the tank) and leaked coolant, which overheated the engine, on a car with less than 60K miles on it. I don't necessarily think this is just an issue with Ford, it's a "Value engineering" thing, where they build them to fail, after a certain amount of time (also known as "Engineered obsolescence"), so that you will buy more cars. What is a Ford thing, is Ford had a recall and repair of overheating damaged cars (because of a class-action lawsuit) on this part in Europe, but not the US, and told me to pound sand. Thank goodness for Bar's stop-leak, which stopped the head gasket leakage.

[@ShainAndrews]

Ford is way more prone to those type of issues. They Rube Goldberg the shit out of everything. This is a perfect example. Can't have a coolant reservoir. Ford needs a degas bottle. Three connections, which is nine more failure points (both ends of the hose, and three hoses). Ford is KISS adverse. Great work for those that turn a wrench for a living though.

[@robbieeades1956]

How much does the new tank replacement cost? I've ordered a new hose but now I'm worried it will still leak if I don't replace the tank.

[@kenriches7403]

It was almost $300

[@brandonliddiard1350]

Was the hose enough or did it continue leaking ??

[@robbieeades1956]

@Brandon Liddiard it continued to leak so I wound up replacing the tank with a new one. That stopped the leak there but now have a new leak from the top radiator hose at that Y connector. It's those sorry quick connect fittings. I found the tank on ebay.

[@mrstl3000]

Why are y'all replacing the degas bottle they sell the upgraded parts which is a 90 degree silicone hose 3/4 to 1 in and 4 clamps so sorry y'all wasting money

[@robbieeades1956]

@mrstl3000 I've seen what you're talking about and it is a cheap looking fix. I don't want that mess on my truck.

[@ShainAndrews]

Coolant looked rough. Three fluids that never get changed on schedule. Coolant, power steering, brake.

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

Brand new oat coolant

[@chrispepple3904]

And rear and front differential and transmission fuild

[@austinkastner4069]

2011-14 f150s don’t have power steering fluid!

[@ShainAndrews]

@@austinkastner4069 Your point... is what?

[@CasperTheFriendlyGhost777]

What about 2009’s?

[@LaMusicade4]

Same glitches on the ranger and b2000 series compact trucks

[@haroldharris7080]

I have a 2010 Ford F-150 Lariat Coolant Leaking from bottom lines. But can't find exactly which line it is !!!

[@joeconnolly2841]

Use Teflon tape, on the resrvoir nozzle wrap it around the the nozzle about 7 times a nd snap it back together..... 49 cent fix. If you do it right.

[@rodneybrand8521]

I have a mower just like that...no leaks yet I'll keep an eye on it..thanks for the warning..Cheers friend 🍻🍻🍻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@davidmiller8529]

Save money and go to Pegasus auto racing. They have a hose kit that eliminates the need to swap coolant tank.

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

tried that. it leaked like a sieve

[@rviscarra]

@@THEMOWERMEDIC1 I used their kit and it seemed to work as a temporary fix. However, I'm still trying to identify another leak. @THEMOWERMEDIC1 are there other quick connects in the top or back of the block where it may be leaking? Any help is appreciated. 2014 F150 5.0L

[@Sheeeeeeeeeeeeiiitt]

Would this apply to an 09 5.4? The coolant overfill tank has a different style of cap. I believe I have a slow leak but not seeing overheat and or coolant on the ground. A leak down preasure test was done by Firestone upon doing a flush but didn’t advise on where it may be coming from.

[@ramiroronaldorodriguez4086]

Same issue here, did you find a fix?

[@TheRenegade2424]

Ty soo much ❤

[@munkeeman1234]

Could you use all purpose silicone

[@m3vt2seffn]

On mine 2007 f150 I wish it was that easy replace the reservoir I have replace the whole manifold on my truck because the antifreeze is dumping into cylinder 7

[@luisn.7258]

Thus would be the same on an Expedition with the same engine right?

[@stephenpijnnaken963]

I have a 2012 F150 5.0 XLT with 215,000 miles on it. I just replaced the coolant reservoir (Dorman from O'Reilly) and the coolant hose (Motorcraft from O'Reilly) that goes to the reservoir and I took it for a spin but I'm still getting a small amount of leakage when I rub my finger under it. I made sure it snapped in place but it isn't as tight as I'd like it to be. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be like that but I don't know what to do next. Any suggestions would be great before I drive 500 miles back home for spring break, thank you!

[@esdrasmendez6559]

Where you able to figure it out ? I have the same issue

[@stephenpijnnaken963]

@@esdrasmendez6559 I ended up swapping the metal clips. I think I might’ve bent the clip a tad to get a tighter fit. If it still leaks and you replaced the coolant reservoir and the hose maybe try changing the o ring. Just make sure to use the silicone paste. Hope it works out

[@IMAJERK36]

Been having a squealing noise issue with my 2014 f150 after I’ve replaced the belts, pulleys and tensioners. The noise occurs after my truck has been sitting for at least an hour and it goes away after about a minute or two but it’s starting to get really irritating and makes my truck sound like shit. Please respond.

[@JOSESANTOS-ti1ii]

use the right tools for God's sake

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

Lol

[@rickprusak9326]

With all due respect, I've seen hammer 🔨 mechanics in my time but never saw a pliers mechanic before. Why don't you use the proper hose clamp tool that you mentioned as you were taking the hose clamp with a pair of pliers? 😮

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

Buy me one and I’ll use it

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

The average Joe is not gonna have the special tools. I’m showing it how to be done with basic hand tools.

[@rickprusak9326]

@THEMOWERMEDIC1 I'll stop by my nearest Craftsman tool store or the nearest Binford Tool Company store or the nearest Harbor Freight store and buy it, personally wrap it with a bow on top, and break in your house or single wide trailer at night, and place it under your Christmas tree🎄 as a gift 🎁 from your personal Santa. The professional hose clamp tool is not expensive. Stop buying beer, tattoos and cigarettes for one or two days in a single week, and BINGO YAHOO MOUNTAIN DEW, you'll have more than enough money 💰 to buy a whole set of them to pass down to your great great great great grandchildren. 👍

[@rickprusak9326]

@THEMOWERMEDIC1 The average Joe spends more money 💰 on porn, tattoos, cigarettes, Pepsi-Cola, chewing tobacco, corndogs, trips to the local Marijuana shops, strip clubs, and McDonald's than what the single AFFORDABLE hose clamp tool costs at Harbor Freight, the nearest Craftsman or Binford tool company store charges for one. Even average Joe's and Betty's have enough pride and satisfaction in themselves to buy tools professionally made for the job. Ever hear the phrase?: "There's a tool conveniently made for every job you'll ever need to do." Did you ever also hear about this phrase? "God gave you a brain, use it 🙏 more than once in a while for positive things, and to make your life easier other than get it pickled most of the time."
