SAVING

It was time to take a break from the cheap C5 since we're waiting on parts at the moment. I decided to pull out some other projects that need finished and sold while enjoying the weather. We were out washing all the cars when Jake called and said I'm stuck on the side of the road, I think it's a bad fuel pump. We hopped in the truck and headed out to find him. There was no fuel pressure after priming so we pulled the truck back to the shop to take a look at it. ‪@TheFracturedRooster‬ showed up when he saw the Ranger signal. We also learned we can do a Ford Ranger fuel pump in about 15 minutes flat now.

Gotta admit I have some great friends! And a great little truck that has never ran better.

[@skynetd-termination98]

Fun video...the best part is knowing that you'd have helped Jake out even if you weren't filming. Having friends who are there for you is priceless.

[@tylercoan]

Wholesome content. Wish I had a friend like JR. Drops all of his plans to help his friends out. Class act!

[@andrewhillman9632]

I haven’t laughed that hard in a while……sorry Jake, sucks being stuck on the road but with Josh and JR on call it could be way worse 😁

[@whollymindless]

Twice.

[@codesigma]

Jake’s Ranger picked a nice day to break down. I wish it were that warm where I was

[@insaneiaq]

True! Last Wed and Thursday the high temp was 20* and it was awful.

[@gregsimon1285]

I had an intermittent problem like yours on my Bronco II. It turned out to be a rotted hose on the pump between the pump and fuel pickup screen. Over time ethanol in modern fuels had rotted the hose allowing air to get in the line. His pump was newer but it still might have the same problem. My pump was original 1986 Ford pump. Definitely due for replacement anyway.

[@05milmachine90]

This right here is something to check... It happened to me. Some of the cheap Chinese pumps don't use good quality fuel lines and they can rot out fast.

[@peterdaniel66]

JR: You sure you have. gas? Jake: Yeah, man I put .59 in two days ago!

[@GG-to7qi]

"I have more cars." Truly, the understatement of the year.

[@beandrive]

You are awesome for dropping what you are doing to help another. This brought a smile to my face during the whole video. Big thumbs up.

[@Tempsho]

That Milwaukee M12 ratchet was a beast breaking those bed bolts loose!

[@hackfabrication139]

JMHO: I would have replaced the fuel pump when you had the bed off the first time. I had a similar issue with my 2002 Chevy Blazer. It would stop pumping, then a bit later would start. That's too much uncertainty for a daily driver.

[@BillBatdorf]

I have a 2001 Ranger... It's the fuel pump. They bumped it enough to get it going for a little bit. If they smack the bottom of the tank with a hammer, it'll run for a little bit, then die again. I drove about 10 miles that way, pulling over when it died, smacking it, and driving a little further. Pulled up home, and that was all she wrote.

[@pops55650]

I’ve had the same thing with an old Dodge Ram, smacked the tank to get me to the shop, as I pulled into the lift, it died.

[@sleepyhollow783]

The moment i heard Made In China, I hoped they would have changed the pump out.

[@mph5896]

Yeah, pump gets hot and stops working. Cools off and works.

[@invinoveritas8704]

Cheap aftermarket fuel pumps FTL

[@bobstroud9118]

My old boss at the SOHIO station would say “ Look at that little truck pushing that big one with a stiff piece of chain!” N.E.OH Bob

[@pddixon]

I love how easily that bed came off and went right back on again!

[@n9wox]

6:02 "I have more cars". Understatement of the year. 😂

[@PhotonHerald]

"I got bored." Translation: He needed something last minute and couldn't get it at O'Reillys.

[@_RiseAgainst]

Bang on the gas tank, while you crank it. It will temporarily get the fuel pump to start. So will all the vibrations required to remove a bed. It will probably fail again. Edit: that was fast!

[@BoB-yb3wx]

"You are my brakes." Never tow strap a vehicle with someone unless they understand VERY clearly what that means.

[@100PercentJake]

The ranger did an alright job stopping a Super Duty!

[@ChrisCollins-Oakland]

Dude in a massive Chevy Blazer pulled me and my 67 VW bug up and down a mountain. I had zero brakes after that. The last ten minutes was me with the pedal on the floorboard.

[@bmaldonado41]

Jake should probably check the fuel filter first as it is a common problem on the 4 bangers if the system sees less than 14psi of fuel pressure it just won't start because it's not enough to allow a proper fuel spray in the cylinder to atomize correctly.

[@WatchJRGo]

We ended up putting a filter in after this video, all the fuel poured out clean though! 😳

[@bmaldonado41]

[@jeffclark5206]

My 04 ranger did the same thing was intermittent fuel pump, replaced it and it's been good since.

[@anthony2816]

I'm surprised you don't have a dedicated power-washing station at your shop yet. Seems like a relatively cheap and easy addition that would save trips to the commercial wash place.

[@mlindholm]

Well the Detail Dudes do, as they've used it a few times. But driving to the car wash also does a quick road test of the vehicle to ensure most things are still working as expected, cycles the gas out of the fuel lines, and is just fun if it's a Corvette.

[@Big_M_T]

At this point I have to believe Jake’s bedhead hairstyle is intentional. He perpetually rocks it 😜😂👍

[@matthewmeaux3450]

Always be careful of the "victory laps" with a vehicle that's not immediately going into a shop; because they all go into the shop after a victory lap! LOL

[@LutherTraining]

When he hit the brakes and it died, I literally said out loud “god damnit Jake!” Lol

[@plopppp7643]

100 Percent Jake is very fortunate to have such good friends hurrying to the rescue right away !

[@riwoof]

The Wichita Car Mafia sticks together. Cameo appearance by 100percent Fractured Rooster. 😁👍

[@robertwhall]

I love how casually JR and co removed the bed then reinstalled it, like removing a plastic engine cover to access a part

[@embfixer]

Place I used to work had a fleet of early 2000's late 90's Ford trucks, Rangers, F150 and Vans. Every single one of them would eventually start either start hesitating or have long cranking times. Fuel pressure would be around 20 psi or less. Every single one had a crack in the rubber hose that ran between the pump and outlet on the fuel pump itself. Bought a small roll of in tank fuel line and replaced the hose when they would do that. Only cost a few buck and some time.

[@aarond23]

These are the best JR vids....coming to the rescue!

[@billcunningham8485]

Between all the Wichita areas KZbinrs I am a bit surprised there isn’t a shared owned used/retired flatbed tow truck. Somebody get Hoovie to buy the cheapest in the USA and keep it at WatchJRGo’s shop.

[@Steve-ft3kb]

The cost of insurance would probably queer the deal ... Plus they would need some form of shared cost formula that took into account number of times used ... Still a good idea

[@billcunningham8485]

@@Steve-ft3kb doesn't Tyler have some deal with an insurance broker? I think they might be a sponsor / advertiser. I am thankful I have a close friend with an aluminum tilting car hauling trailer. Plus he likes to hang out so he will pick up my projects around town with me. Makes life easy.

[@markamcampbell6340]

Should pressure wash the frame while you have the bed off.

[@esiebert7625]

Curious why there us a swimming pool behind your building in an industrial park area? Ever hop the fence and go for a swim?

[@slickrock1371]

I'd check the fuel pump wiring around the connectors. My P30 Fed Ex van went through several fuel pumps until I realized that was my gremlin. I actually found it using a JC Whitney short detector. Where the wires made a sharp bend to meet the fuel pump, the insulation cracked, and gave me sporadic continuity.

[@handbanana6843]

I laughed out loud when Jake lit up the tires in the Ranger!

[@rossfield8850]

Good video thanks JR. You have more faith than I do, I would have changed that pump when I saw China made. I’ve had so much trouble with patent parts, sure they are great for budgets but they just don’t seem to stand the test of time unfortunately. Ask me how I know….Mercedes ABC struts that lasted 500 miles 😩

[@johnwatson9826]

Love buddies helping buddies! 👍🏼

[@dadteaches]

Have jake also check the starter solenoid ground; if it's a firewall mount, that center post ground could be loose. at least on the 98 F150 - I found that it'll kill the fuel pump, and half the ecm.

[@michaelhawkins5530]

Having all the stored cars on a battery minder would be helpful. Thanks for helping Jake out!

[@dj-kq4fz]

If he breaks down a lot then he's still 100%, and perhaps, he sometimes operates at 110% when things are working right. Gunk in the tank clogging things up? Came loose in the tow, maybe.

[@panteleon1]

actually you need to change the pump, all seized pumps work because the move when you hit them but it is a short fix

[@TheDicrio]

Many times on old Rangers the impact switch under the dash on the passenger side trips and cuts the fuel pump.

[@MrIzzydoodle]

Why does Jake need AAA membership when he has JR & Josh? BTW, Love these "crossover" vids.

[@vorsprungdurchtech]

I had an 87 crown vic that the fuel pump relay was getting really hot and shutting down the pump, replaced the relay and it was good again. Once the old relay would cool off after a long tow to the shop the car would start right up. Weird stuff.

[@frankm8533]

I've owned many many Rangers my favorite small trucks. I currently have a beater one i drive for work love it

[@jeffreyrigged]

i still love that 65. prob my favorite vehicle you own.

[@stevestewart4847]

Check the fuel cut off inertia switch. They do fail on the old rangers. I believe it should be behind the glove box.

[@vamosaltemacongabrielmende3965]

That’s the fuel filter, already happened to me in a similar 2000 Ranger 2.5L. Now seems that the PCM is dying becáis viví tall different codes and running well she kinda stalls and start to hesitate.

[@Cartier_specialist]

I had forgotten how good the rat vette sounds. I'm not a fan of loud exhaust systems but the exhaust on that sounds awesome.

[@martyphilwil]

Could be sediment in the gas tank. Especially hitting the brakes, loosening it up, and then it getting stuck in the filter

[@justinborysenko3885]

Bro get a wall mount pressure washer on the shop wall. Ed has a good episode on his install

That's the long term plans for the Avalon King detail bay.. but yeah wall mounted pressure washers are clutch, I put one in my garage and it makes it so simple to wash cars, now

[@smplyizzy]

Whatever happened to installing a pressure washer station in your shop?

[@richc9503]

Should have beat on the bottom of the gas tank with a rubber mallet, it probably would have started then. The banging will usually make the fuel pump kick back on long enough to get it home/into the shop. That's how I usually diagnose a fuel pump with a crank/no start.
