Hang in there brother! All this ain't gonna do more than force you to pay additional attention to detail. It can be amazing learning lessons we didn't set out to learn. God is good.

[@rlosangeleskings]

All the time...

[@stevenmenary2862]

It doesn't matter to me what the situation is. When I see a new Restoration video I will watch it from start to end and give a thumbs up

[@hanknipper3921]

That old truck is a character building experience Rev! Keep up the great work brother.

[@michaelkoon8371]

Rev love to see you and the old man respectable back on here love your videos

[@griffparker1466]

Hey Rev, I’d like to chime in here in the comments. I had a 90 f150 that almost made me quit the hobby. (It’s on my channel a little bit.) It was CLEAN, however I could not for the life of me get it to run right and efficiently. I swear it got like 5mpg and it was the 4.9 straight six. I threw parts at it and it left me stranded multiple times. It seemed like every single dang time I used the truck, something new broke. Headlight switch, a piece of trim, a new leak developed, etc. Also, the quality of replacement parts for these trucks is terrible so every now and again id have to replace a part twice because the first one was bad out of the box. I sold that truck for an incredible loss and haven’t regretted it since. That’s just my experience though. God bless

[@DarkFlamage]

You are so right. I can recount three instances when I saw how Ford tried to make consumers dependent on their parts dept so they could extort the max profit from their customer base. Nice way to do business, huh?

[@study650]

Wow, you have a lot more determination than me. I would have already sold that truck and bought him another one. Love you, Brother. Keep after it.

[@smarternu]

WRONG...WRONG! you have increased your knowledge and you are a better mechanic. Failure is often, and here IS, future sucess.

[@LoosleyLouise]

Very true

[@user-is8fs5xo8v]

Never give up! I hope u have a nice junk yard or U pull it close by so u don't have to pay retail for parts on the F150. I believe u will know every single square inch of that motor now. U got the bolts down pat since u keep breaking them. Love the videos Rev! Keep them rolling! Prayers to the family and speedy recovery for the moms.

[@NathansMoparGarage]

That's what I call a character builder. After you replace or check everything something has to give in and start working.

[@lucifermorningstar8541]

You got it to the point where you can do what I’ve been wanting to do to my EFI 90 Ford is getting rid of the EFI and put a regular intake in a carburetor

[@traviscallicoat4853]

Doing a carb conversion is easy hell my 1990 f250 was so messed up electrically that me and my dad took everything off of a 1978 f150 and wired it up to my f250 including the duraspark box and a carbed 302. I was gonna carb swap my 351w but it jumped time so I went and got a 302 out of a 86 Thunderbird which is a throttle body cause you can pull that throttle body off and bolt a 2 barrel carb right down in its place

[@cliffordkinnear9705]

The F150 may have fixed itself. There is a possibility that one or more fuseable links have corroded internally. What that means is the copper wire strands have corroded away to the point of making intermittent contact/electrical conductivity. I would check each of the links (they look like regular wires but are yellow and or black with rubber sleeves on them thicker than the wires. They all run past the battery and the right inner fender. You can use a sewing needle to probe each fuseable link for 12 volt power with the key to the on position. Wiggle the wire or wire bundle up down a bit to see if you get intermittent voltage. If you do then that wire or fuseable link wire needs to be repaired or replaced. The "Old Man" or your son can help you test/probe each of the wires. God Bless!!!

[@leethomas9198]

Loved the episode! These old Fords are good for testing your faith and abilities. Stay strong my FORD Brother.

[@locotrucker46]

I'm so happy to finally see another video from you guys. I love yalls videos. Keep em coming!

Rev, sorry I'm late watching this, I've been back and forth to the doctors with my wife. I have missed seeing y'all, tell everyone I said hello, stay safe and God Bless y'all!!!

[@hybridagri]

I am a year into fixing my 1991 f150 . Seeing this inspires me to keep going because ill tell you brother everything that could be wrong with my engine was wrong.

[@alynwilson5694]

I worked in the automotive industry for over thirty years and have wanted to quit 1000 times and set a car down a hill on fire and call the insurance company.... But I stopped working on the problem vehicle and had a RC Cola and Moonpie and just gave my mind time to reset . After I got Covid a year and a half ago and spent 2 weeks in ICU it destroyed my life and damaged my lungs. I was left bed ridden and just in the past few months been able to get off oxygen and be able to walk more than 1000 feet without having to take a break. I found your channel and It reminds me of me and my dad growing up in North Alabama fixin on old Chevys. I started reading the verses you included in your videos and they have helped me through also. You have helped me more than you could ever know and I hope you continue to make content.

[@roderickmoyer9851]

Glad you got us a video Rev hope all is well for your mamma and rest of your family stay safe ….

[@RobertDickens2002]

That's God's sense of humor if I ever seen it he got your attention with that bracket falling off but he held everything together all while showing you your leak.

[@katj6488]

Hey Rev, that one was a tough one! But hey like you said it is great to have the Lord as your back up mechanic! I do believe you may be right that water got somewhere and messed you up for a day or so but she is run just hate to hear about the motor mount..

[@Junkerclunkerz]

Hey rev I'm glade you reached out definitely wish we were closer so I could have helped more but happy to see it going I could feel the frustration

[@ragman069]

If u get stuck, there's always a video on KZbin that u can watch

[@RevStoration]

Amen

[@jefffoiles5530]

Glad you got it figured out. Nice old truck 😎😎

[@billyhaddock5540]

Well Rev, besides Liposuck some parts, cranking stuff here and there, Dad pulling his hair-out, u'all almost gotten the FORD running good.

[@RevStoration]

Almost may be all I got

[@BillHilly169]

As The Lord told Paul, “My Grace is sufficient!” Always got to remember that when working on these old aggravating Fords!

[@howardkoster4026]

Rev, Mr. Rev's dad, at least you both can agree you both were saying the same thing, only in different ways, without getting feelings hurt and feuding about it. Some father's and sons are ( were) not that fortunate.

[@jerrydineen2827]

Glad you didn't give up Rev. You and the Old Man will figure it out!

[@petewebber8671]

Just bought an 87 F150. Not a mechanic at all and never have been. Watching your video was a scary education. Ill keep watching and learning! Hope that old dog is still running.

[@johnwohlheter601]

Seeing that timing chain cover instantly takes me back to my 83 f150 with a 351w. That thing kept on leaking coolant from the top of the cover. Decided one day I was gonna fix that. Re did the timing chain cover and guess what it leaked from the same spot as before. Decided to do the timing chain cover again, this time with a brand new cover. Followed all the procedures and torque specs. And now I don't have an external coolant leak but now my oil is milkshake. So i think my timing chain cover is letting coolant leak into my oil pan. (HARD face palm) I don't know what to do with it at this point. I don't think re doing to timing chain cover again will help. I really don't understand why ford made the cover the way they did. The design is just asking for a coolant leak. I think chevy did a much better job with their small blocks. Blasphemy to a ford guy I know. I just don't get why ford engineers things they way they do. Just like the oil filter on that same truck. Its a total pain to get a filter on and off that truck. Its a big filter and EVERYTHING is in the way of it. but that's a story for another day.

[@toddcagle4245]

This is why I am stripping all of the efi stuff off of my 300 six cylinder and going carbureted with no ecm. I am going back, points and all.

[@scraptruckdeancincy1057]

[@grasshoppercrews1296]

Well this is why we pray for patients rev. Found on road dead troubles .

[@olikat8]

If you ever have to do heads on one of these older 5.0's...use the heads & intake from the last of the 5.0 Explorer's & Mountaineers. You'll be shocked at how much better that combo works. Fun fact? It's the same top end they used on the '93 Cobra Mustangs

[@ToddMills801]

Fail stands for first attempt in learning. We all have challenges that truck is yours. God likes to test us.

[@KyleC2OO7]

I’ve got a 86 that I tell folks is a true fix or repair daily. It’s always something.

hi rev change the temp sending unit its telling the computer its cold so it riches the mixture but because its bad the mixture stays rich thank me later bob

[@RevStoration]

It has a newish one.. Ill get one and try it

[@stevenmenary2862]

I have had my 2002 Ford aF-150 Lariat for 21 9:19 years now. Purchased it brand spanking new in 2002. The only things I have replaced is 3 sets of tires, 4 batteries and had to replace 4 cop's (coil over plug) one at a time and one alternator ( it workrd, but the rear bearing on it lost most of the ball bearings) and recently all 4 brakes, so: GOOD LORD, WHAT A FORD I have!!

[@dancegodrobotboy]

Lmao the last one you did good lord what a Ford had me laughing out loud I’m a ford guy my self brother from Tennessee I came across your channel tonight got to say I love the energy and positive got to subscribe to my ford family 🤙

[@garymatthys3605]

there's a bolt hole in the timing cover that does not get used on the 'newer' water pumps. It's right at the spot where you have your leak. The water pump gasket 'should' cover this hole to prevent a leak. It doesn't always do the job, hence the leak. You can fill the hole with rtv or some such.

[@WingmanJohnny]

Well all these strange things break and happens for a reason. When things break on us. We know the Lord is telling us you were not supposed to leave at that time. God bless you Rev. Prayers and blessings headed your way

[@libertysgarage8411]

One of my old body style trucks used to have issues the way the transmission shifted and found out that the wires one the sensor on the rear differential were bad causing a bad signal to the transmission computer (behind glove box) pulled the sensor, cleaned it off, reinstalled, and repairer the broken wires and it shifter perfectly ever since..

[@RevStoration]

I don't know if this one has that but Ill look. Thanks for watching!

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video Rev :) , Ole Man :) , Nicky T :) yes also check Wrecking Yard at vechiles for motor mounts or Rock Auto or any Parts Store may have them and do left also right at same time too ! Check Air Conditioning pump power wire if kinks or needs replaced connectors on too and plus get Transmission fluid plus filter up new or new seals too or Bearings to! Also Rev did temperature gauge change to cooler on dash reading too because may need do head gasket on left head too !

[@CJColvin]

Greeat video brother, I have a 1996 Ford F150 with a 5.0L (302) Windsor V8 with 210,000 miles and still going strong. The only things I replaced on my truck was the starter, the rear fuel pump, and the power steering megunisum but other than that mostly was just simple maintenance, took out the transmission fluid just to get rid of the shuttering it was making and it hasn't had a problem ever since.

[@Michael-B41]

it will be ok rev ive been there on a chevy 4 times infact i left the rags in the intake replacing gaskets before i had to take it back off and redo everything oh man im glad i remembered it though . so trust me we all been there at one time if you work on cars enough

[@AintScaredGarage]

Rev those lines are tricky, I did a video on them, You have to put the tool in the line like you have it, but that big round part does not move, hold the tool in the big round part and pull on the other side of the line and it will pop right out

[@josephlullo2163]

The spring inside the push lock fuel lines sometimes rusts and gets stuck try spraying some PB Blaster in the lock portion and where they connect then push the tool in and twist it back and forth while pulling it apart.

[@patcarbone1753]

Great job Rev stay at it

Rev, your persistence and your faith will always carry you through the toughest situations. The good Lord will never burden you with a problem too difficult for you to handle. What He will bless you with is a learning opportunity. Your ability to recognize these opportunities and benefit from them is one of the reasons I love watching Revstoration. One item at a time, you will succeed. It's guaranteed. God bless you, the Old Man, Nicky T, Momma, and the whole family.

[@LarryDeSilva64]

Wow I have an '89 F150 and have never broken a bolt on it. Nor have I had many problems. I did have a work around to get the ignition to work ran it through a relay to a momentary toggle switch. It actually worked well you turn the ignition to on with the key but it wont start until you hit the toggle switch I put under the dash. My 89 has 160,000 miles. And I am the 3rd owner. SoI guess I have just been lucky.

[@MattsRageFitGarage]

Interesting how some of these trucks seem to be so troublesome. I bought an 86 F250 for $900 almost 12 years ago, and while I've done a lot to it to make it a nicer truck to drive, I've had to do very few actual repairs to it, and it's never left me stranded. I'm at 252,000 on mine. Most of the repairs I've had to do, were from crappy replacement parts not lasting in the first place.

[@raywilson800]

It will be alright. Iove a Ford too.❤⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@strokermaverick]

Those, broken bracket bolts, would've came out easy enough, with a mig welder. Flux core, also. Would've been, my plan. When the passenger side exhaust manifold is removed, you have to move or remove the transmission dip stick tube. Outside temperature, will cause the ATF to expand. That's where the ATF leak came from.

[@kennethbaker2008]
