REMOVING A 5.4L 3 VALVE ENGINE FROM A 2005 FORD F150

[@morgansword]

This video reminded me of my younger days as a young man then in the late seventies or early eighties. We would buy one from a wrecking yard that still could run and drive but some kind of body damage would rule them scrap to the insurance company. You could see everything from under the hood and look up around the transmission to get out bolts and what not and just take that cab off completely to put some real old style cab we thought was "Cool" or long before the word "Sic". On went say a fifty model ford cab and stuff, along with some headers and dual exhaust pipes. It was a very common thing back in my day as I am nearly seventy four now. Thanks for that great memory J.C and Mrs. Thank you so much!

[@richardhoneywell7411]

Great video J.C.Smith really enjoy watching you disassemble this truck for other projects that you've had. Thanks for sharing stay safe Mr & Mrs J.C.Smith.

I love watching the dynamic dou with Jc and his wife

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

👍👌👏 Same here, definitely! Best regards, luck and health in particular.

I bought my daughter a 06 f250 with a bad 3v, now we get to pull the engine together and fix up the truck. I know sounds like fun times.

[@nelsonmattoon150]

So many projects . But I love watching your videos I do learn a lot from them

[@matthewgeniti4235]

Good evening J.C Smith I have been watching your videos I have a friend who needs that frame we just did one of those frame patch kits but that’s just a bandage we are in New York

[@ydocproductions5593]

Glad to see some parts be saved from this one. I guess I don’t really know how good we have it up in the Northwest because none of our trucks rust away like those in the “salt belt.”

[@downrightme6811]

It’s nice to have a good person helping ❤

[@waynedunne4507]

Hello Mrs JC. Great job. JC will be learning huh. Should be able to do it on his own shortly. Hiya JC. Cheers n beers. God bless.

[@scotthultin7769]

Hi JC thank you for sharing 😊

[@wazzazone]

I always learn something new from your videos, thanks for that.

For a guy that owns 7 pickup box trailers, that looks like pickup box trailer material!!

[@j.c.smithprojects]

the floor of the bed is almost completely rusted out.

[@haroldphipps3457]

@@j.c.smithprojects yikes! Cancel that !!

[@ericcorse]

I look forward to seeing you gut the transmission.

[@SWResto]

I find it funny that people say transmission is no good when to me its just a chance to rebuild it better than new!

[@brianhaas7269]

It would be interesting to see you inventory/organize your shop/vehicles/parts. Understandably paid projects are a priority.

[@randydobson1863]

hello j.c. & mrs.smith it's is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks and super cool thanks j.c thanks friends randy

[@CRXJDM88]

First time I ever seen anybody pulled out a 5.4 out of that generation of Ford F-150 pickup trucks usually people won't even bother with all the issues they have

[@Edwardmodos]

Factory Five now sells a tube frame kit that uses F150 cabs, might advertise on their forum

[@andrewmiller2868]

I was just about to comment about The Gradall 😃.

[@ChrisScibelli5586]

When you were talking about trans lines and the dipstick I noticed that the frame was not so good after all.

[@j.c.smithprojects]

this IS a good frame. all you see is a thin layer that was added as an over lay. its a 2005 in ohio and its in one piece. that is a victory

[@curtisgore1611]

How much do those motors bring

[@CaptKirk1701]

I know you love your Gradeall but you need a truck crane to lift that stuff and save your back.

[@JacobHunt1992]

How much for the front and back bumper

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Simply put pig fat/grease on the gradall. Then it will no longer squeak so annoyingly but only grunt! 😜😁 ;-) Have a nice day.

[@carldavis4540]

Gradall, no its engine and trans hoist it does it all.

[@dirtyroofer3678]

Hear a roof is going down

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

Nice job with the teardown 🙂👍 Glad to see you found a buyer for the engine. 🔧🔩

[@williamkelley7654]

No such thing as a good 5.4L 3V, lol.

[@mph5896]

Is it a great engine, no. Did/does it function for many people, yes. I have had a few with 200k+ still going strong.

[@williamkelley7654]

@@mph5896 It's heavily dependent on good maintenance, you likely did to get those numbers.

[@diesellivesmatter]

Yeah most likely it is a bad engine, check the crank thrust before you buy

[@wildcoyote34]

@@williamkelley7654 even the best maintenance won't stop that POS from eating it's timing guides ,chains ,tensioners or cam phasers ,,gutless POS is what every one of those trucks i have ever had was ,, i've owned 3 and all of them were junk ,, 2 of them were 2 valve engines ,, and the last was a 3V and i hated it the most,, installed the 3rd timing chain set at 197K miles ,, and it blew a head at 199K for no reason ,, replaced that last F150 with an 02 chevy truck 2 years ago and it's still going with 400,000 miles on it ,and it's had the piss kicked out of it

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i have done more cam phasers, vct solenoids, chains, chain tensioners, guides, and upgraded oil pumps in these engines than most. never had to do it more than once. many people use the cheapest parts they can find. or beat the crap out of the truck. then wonder why they have to do it 3 times. quality parts and religious oil changes are a must. most times the issues are from poor maintenance. these engines require good clean oil and cant be run low. i have owned probably over 50 trucks with 5.4l 3 valve engines. I sold many to folks i know. they never had any other issues with the timing components after i repaired them. know of 3 pushing high 300k,
