Prepping My F100 to Drive 500 Miles to DUCT TAPE DRAGS! *Will it make it?*

[@Voodoo_Mouse]

So get this: I passed you on my way back to Phoenix last Thursday after a quick trip to Carlsbad! My girlfriend and I were cruising down the highway just as the sun was getting ready to set and I was like, “man, that truck ahead of us looks JUST like the one I watch on KZbin every week! Low and behold, it was you! Truck looks great going down the road, man.

[@eugenesbackyardrepair4593]

Craig ur funny in California u complain about some dust and spider web under truck. In NY we complain we can see in the bed through the fender and can see carpet from underneath. Lol

[@dale5303]

Ol boy about to hit 100k congrats my dude! Long time watcher and youve come soo far!🤙🏻

[@stephenparker8460]

Craig read that M/T article again... they plumbed the oil separator to the valley cover, NOT vacuum. They just had a line from each valve cover and the valley cover all venting through the catch can breather. You have created a large vacuum leak the way you have it plumbed now. Ditch the breather and seal your catch can. Then you can use engine vacuum to draw the crank case pressure out.

[@seanprobst3800]

I have the same issue when draining the oil. I make a trough out of aluminum foil and it helps alot.

[@nutscratchermag58]

10:10 “hopefulling” is that a word.? 😂 good episode have a safe journey 👍

[@adamtaylor5591]

Congrats on 100k Craig, were all celebrating with you🥳

[@jaysworld2893]

Maybe you could make a AN fitting hose? tighten it into that drain hole and then have the hose run to the side of the Crossmember and have it with a cap/bolt. Just like a drain bolt undo let it drain out into the pan bolt back up. No mess. Just clamp hose part tight and make long anuff can drain without getting onto frame. Just an idea bro... Keep up awesome content!

[@hellzsniperII]

You might want to find a you tube video on how to pack bearings !!!

[@briannation8038]

If the thing wants more timing, crank more into it and you'll get better fuel mileage. I'd time it and make it happy before you left. Anything to improve combustion efficiency will help your MPG, unless you're concerned running regular grade fuel on the drive out there.

[@hicountrytm]

I use a portable lawn sprayer with 90 weight in it and a short section of hose after the valve pump up the pressure shove it into the transmission close the valve I use the manual valve that you have to hold but I also have an o-ring I can slip over it for when I'm filling a new gearbox works great

[@obs_community9517]

Congrats on 100k love the videos keep it up

[@Enigma-Sapiens]

FYI, Everything I have previously researched on the Ford 9 3/8" rearends, says that they are weaker than the 9" because of the casting materials (cast iron) they were made from. Most performance-oriented people will tell you to toss them out and replace them with a 9", which will fit into the housing you have. They also are subject to a scarcity of rebuild parts and gear sets. Just sharing my research, what you do with it is up to you.

[@caterpillarkiller1970]

I know I'm in the minority, but I live for the old fords and steer away from the "me too" black car... awsome truck Craig!

[@docsoleguyrodshop3756]

Me too!

[@joeidaho5938]

agree. I"m here for the old vehicles and really don't give a rat's ass about the foxbody Mustang.

[@claudeladow2334]

I have FE in mine. Found oil restrictors and positive valve seals necessary. Use valvoline racing 50w in Pa. in summer. Maybe fix the ring seal if too much blowby.

[@farmtruck9885]

CONGRATS... on 100K

[@jfk5705]

I saw your truck in vice grip garage duct tape drags video.

[@billybike57]

I’m pretty sure there is at least one video on how to properly pack a bearing. Pretty sure!😉

[@vintagespeed]

alternatively, you can put some course stainless steel wool (or a couple of those SS sink scrubbers) in the catch can to allow the oil vapor to coalesce and not blow out through the vent filter.

[@davesharp5507]

You should make a video on getting the truck dyno tuned! Loving the f100 content!!

[@johnnyallenyork]

My self, when I do those bearing. I fill the dust cap full of extra grease. just to give it some extra to munch on while scootin down the road.

[@joeidaho5938]

Cool to see you do wheel bearings...something I've never touched on my truck, to date.

[@sgtfroman]

I think it would look cool if you had a extra set of FORD letters for the hood powder coated black.

[@rd95stang]

Next time use foil over the frame to keep from getting oil all over

[@melindaortiz9741]

I use mobile 1 diesel oil 15w40 on my stock 350 Chevy Silverado

[@CJColvin]

That old F100 is a beast.

[@CriticalLagg]

God damn that thing sounds soooo good.

[@grampasmurf4761]

Those wheel bearings were greased ? That did not looked packed !!!! I have done quite a few of those . Please keep the great work !

[@raythomasson8660]

What are your tire and rim sizes? They look sick! I wish my 100 looked that way.

[@AshTookUrCash]

so close to 100k, making sure all my friends are subscribed 👀

[@Thecraig909]

Thank you!

[@joeidaho5938]

GOtta try one of those Wix oil filters. They're very much recommended. Been using Purolator One lately.

[@anthonygrebner]

Your truck made a brief cameo in VGGs vid around the 11:13 mark...

[@quintinhill8491]

So close to 100k. Congrats man

[@williamhelms9942]

Less pressure on the oil pump makes life easier even 'though oil changes will be more frequent.

[@danielkustra9071]

You should get one of those petcock drain plugs so you can put a small hose on it and drain it without a mess lol

[@jakobbattershell1446]

Probably won’t see this but I saw your truck in Vice Grip Garage’s KZbin video

[@NorthernPerformanceGroup]

I would rev it to 6800 in 1st 6500 in 2nd 6000 3rd run 4th out

[@stevebankuti9336]

well done Mate....crank case pressure is not your friend....pcv is most important

[@yamahaxs6501]

gonna be sick to take that down the quarter!

[@williamhelms9942]

Straight 30W or 10W40. It'll pick up more shit but just change the oil more often.

[@abelkarma2026]

I should have went. I actually own the roadkill galaxie lol bought it almost a year ago

[@tompreciado863]

Man! I was hoping to see you at least getting to the drag strip. I know you make it because I saw you on Liv’s channel. Lol it was weird to see you actually sitting down and relaxing in her video. You are always doing something on your videos. Can wait for the video bud

[@edcadlick2650]

Truck sounds great I wish I was your neighbour my truck is a 70 long box 360 automatic I have a cobra pipe underneath like an x pipe my neighbours don't like me either people just love my truck

[@andrewkemp6477]

Subscribe dang it! He's at 99.9K! Love watching your videos!

[@pie3135]

Vice grip garage shows a little tiny bit of the f100 in his video

[@claudeladow2334]

I'd have put an inline pcv in the line from oil separator to carb.

[@monkeybarmonkeyman]

Gee... maybe plasti-weld up a drain tray for the truck? Take what, five minutes? Just a suggestion. Also, didn't notice, but when you take off those front wheel, lay them under the side of the vehicle just in case.

[@Viktorrhansen]

great video dude!

[@kerrywaldrop4546]

You should feel your caps full for Greece to that way of they gets hot brings will pull the Greece in to it

[@jasonmyers7410]

If there aren't a few "quacks" in the video, you're just not getting anything done. LMFAO 😅😅

[@myklm.4801]

See you at Ramona Autofest on Sunday?

[@TylerDuysen]

congrats on 100k (early)

[@launceherron]

Wouldn't it be easier to add baffling inside the valve cover?

are you related to Dr. Mallard(Ducky on NCIS). Sure full of Quacks today!

[@rawdyrider]

Suggestion: Toyota 1UZ Vvti engine.Kicks A and reliable.

[@Andrewj2152]

Question can you over pack the wheel bearings? When I do it I fill it completely up with grease and fill the cap. I’m asking because I have a wheel bearing or something that keeps getting hot and starts to sling some grease out of the cap after 30-40 miles. 68 f250 drum breaks

[@joeidaho5938]

That drain plug is so bad...lol. You should make yourself something.....maybe out of plastic....that you can use to drain it without making a huge mess every time. I have a 92 Ford truck....and thankfully there is some distance between the drain plug and the crossmember. That crossmember can get so absolutely loaded with grease, if your engine leaks oil or coolant...lol.

[@wadetomes9265]

Grease in a bag is something ill try next time 👍

[@zaclepage8835]

What year is the f100? Thanks

I think your truck is too nice to win zip-tie drags. I`de say its worth more than 3 grand.

[@thestreets5206]

That catch can is way too small
