@Kurt B, In my experience, training people to do something is often less satisfying than doing that same work myself. The exception is when the students are bright and eager, but they are often in the minority. They are also more likely to be like Brian -- they figure things out for themselves without needing someone else to train them. What is needed is to clone him.

[@ArcoZakus]

@@robm3357, The Ford engineering group should hire him to teach them how to design an F-150 that would win him back. I'm certain that reliability and maintainability would get high priorities. Two areas that Ford does not seem to appreciate as much as I believe they should.

@@Anon1mous, Which is worse, having to reduce the size of service departments, or the whole dealerships shutting down because only totally clueless people buy their vehicles -- and eventually you run out of them? Toyota seems to be doing OK following the teachings of J. Edwards Deming. It seems that Ford management (and others) have forgotten the lessons of the 1970s and 80s and are repeating their mistakes from that era.

[@nicksvaik]

@@donbarkman9802 leaking oil? Try and see if you can trace where it's coming from. I had a cold start rattle for about a year, I knew eventually the chain would go. One day I got check engine light P0016 code, cam shaft position sensor, no other symptons. I continued driving, then 3 weeks later one morning it coughed up black smoke and wouldn't idle, stuttered at low rmps and sometimes died. At that time I knew it must have jumped a tooth so I parked it and started ordering parts. You definitely want to do the job before catastrophic failure. I am afraid I have bent valves from running it with the timing off even though I only went around the block. I found a piece of the main tensioner in the oil pan, that is what failed.

[@kylevantassel7259]

Putting this up for anyone that may be doing this job and installing this pump . This pump barely comes out when doing the timing job . The issue is that the oil pump pickup tube hits the bottom of the pan before its clear of the register in the pump and does not give you the required room to wiggle the pump out easily . Anyone thats replaced any of these type pumps knows that getting it lined up to get on the crank can be tricky so when you ad the clearance issues its pretty much impossible to get this back on as is without using some force. On the 5.4 you can simply rotate the pump clockwise to clear the tube and slide it right out. On this engine however there is a raised area inside the cover that prevents this. I take a die grinder with an aluminum bit and grind just a touch off the drivers side of the pump housing near the bolt hole and that allows the pump to rotate enough to clear the pickup tube and slide on easy without using force. I know how it sounds but there is PLENTY of meat there and it doesnt negatively affect the pumps function at all. If you are in contact with melling Brian you need to get them to change the casting just slightly to remedy this issue.

[@charlesb7831]

I bought a 09 Flex with a standard 3.5L non boost. Since I bought this truck used in 2012 , I've been running Royal Purple oil in it. I pulled the Throttle body off and clean it every 2 years or so. I've had zero issues with this engine. When I look down into the valve covers the upper drivetrain is super clean. Any thoughts on this oil? I know what people say about it not being worth it, however it's given me no reason not to use it. In my 72 Mustang I have a 429cid big block and only use 20/50 Quaker state oil to keep the oil pressure up. I definitely believe in using the right oil for the right purpose.

Hate to bug you on this but this is the perfect time for me. Currently having a short block built by Livernois. It’s killing me because it’s the first time I’ve let somebody else build an engine for me . I’m building a house right now and already sold mine so I’m stuck in an apartment for a few months and it just seemed to make sense. Anyway, I haven’t pulled mine completely apart yet but I think my oil pump is what failed on my 2013 3.5 f150. It still runs, just randomly through cam over retarded codes, solenoid codes, etc. then I noticed once hot, holding the engine under load at a light (once the DTC was set and it disabled vtc) it would cause it to idle slightly lower (around 5-600rpm) and at 550 or so, I’d get a low oil pressure warning. Swapped the switch and solenoids just for shiggles, screens full of metal, oil had metal in it. Stopped driving it. Anyway, I ordered their billet gear’d oil pump with the short block. Any reason to cancel that and go high volume instead? I guess I’m not seeing the benefits if we’re not starving for oil already or getting cavitation. Now Livernois does modify some oil ports for flow and I’m wondering if their gears are setup for higher volume (although I don’t know how that would be possible with just gears). What’s your take? I come from the Honda/nissan world mostly and this truck was my intro back into domestics. I needed it to pull my drift car around but still wanted to be able to tune something and have some fun. Now, I’m 20k into a build and going long travel, wide body, etc etc and want to make sure this engine is as right as I can get it. Sold the drift cars and this is my only toy now but will also be the weekend daily. Stick with my Livernois billet gear pump or go to this?

[@TonicofSonic]

Can you do a video about "lubricating the chassis" With what kind of grease and how much to use, where/ when? Also what are your thoughts on at 205 being sprayed onto bushings to extend the life.

[@johni6604]

Enjoy your video's you clearly know your Fords, and explain faults and finding making them easy to follow. Do you have a video on 3.0 engine bucking,, missing under load?

[@richardptaszynski3086]

Great Info, Hey Bri, I'm sending an e-mail to BS&G with some questions about a truck I just bought. Thanks for the channel!!!!!!, Rickma

[@patrickp7214]

Thank you for all your expertise! Super helpful!

[@ozzstars_cars]

Exciting news. Time will tell.

[@markbulva4188]

So my 14 supercrew limited has only had Amsoil signature series and it has 300000 kilometers of oilfield use meaning lots of idle time and hard work. Internally everything is still stock and no phaser or codes for anything related to timing or chain issues. I just had bd manifolds, garret stage 1 turbos and turbo adapters, new cats and all piping from magnaflow. I also have the Amsoil remote bypass oil filter kit and the truck still pulls hard. Just did a 600km round trip in the mountains of British Columbia and truck says I did 14.5al/100kms.

[@TorturedPeace]

136k on my Ford Explorer sport... already had to break the engine apart to change out the cam phasers... then stiffed by the Ford dealer to reopen the engine, cause the light went off again due to not changing the timing chains the first time... not happy!

[@hphillips7425]

Good video and I appreciate the knowledge in your videos

[@johnb1121]

Can you please please please do a full tool box video tour 😍😍😍😍

[@travischooter]

This is great i need a pallet of them. I do alot of 5.4 & 3.5 timing jobs.

[@zachstark5142]

I had heavily considered a 3.5 Ecoboost in a 18+ with the 10. By him just talking about a fix, I'm fairly certain I'll never own one personally..

[@TheThreeLeggedChair]

nice i have a 2007 lincoln mkx with 96,000 km. if the WP ever leaks, ill surely get that pump one day.

[@billykimble1495]

Please do a series of videos specific to the upcoming deliveries of the 2021 Bronco and what future owners should know about or take into consideration regarding service bulletins, re-calls, upgrades and mods that won’t void the warranty when ordering/purchasing given the Bronco will have the same 2.3L and 2.7L twin turbo engines with the manual and 10 speed automatic transmissions as with previous year models of the Ranger and F150, assuming latest generation upgrades. There are millions of orders for the new Bronco, including me. Thanks!

[@HerbertMay]

Need to get one for my f150 .

[@johnnyhoang4444]

This dude is the best

[@greenrhinofarms2830]

2:23 corrections. 2017 expedition got the new 2nd gen. Motor. I have it in my 17’ EL. 12 Injectors to keep clean.

[@tripleofarm]

I literally have one apart right now for a timing chain. I can’t find anywhere to purchase this pump. Just my luck.

[@Asapblu]

I just got off the phone with Jegs and got it dropshipped from mellings directly!

[@Johns1082]

Damn, never saw you with the beard 😳 used to seeing you cleaned shaved lol 😂 great video as usual too.👍🏻

[@darkbeer9928]

Penzoil is Shell oil. Its good ..very good. But i use Triax Oil in my ecoboost and all my diesel road trucks

[@chrisl1398]

Thanks for the good information brian

Love this channel thanks Brian peace ☮️

[@patrickhilly6392]

With all your knowledge I trust your opinion I have a 2013 f150 eco currently I have 77000 miles on it I replaced 1 coil and water pump I’m retired so I don’t drive a lot 10000 miles a year I change oil every 4 months with platinum pen oil like you recommended I drive slow don’t haul anything what else can I do to get many more years my last truck ranger with 4.0 I got 279000 miles when I traded it in I change all fluids once a year

[@robthewindowcleaner]

Thanks dude, appreciate what you share.

[@BobbersDown]

What are your general thoughts on the second generation of these Eco Boost engines?

[@paulfiebke3909]

Thanks for the information keep up the good work

[@dingbatnomad8235]

Breathing air back into this topic, is this a diy type upgrade?

[@jamesu]

Thanks for the video Brain.

[@terrencejones9817]

Interesting factoid. GM dexos Gen2 was the first oil designed for LSPI and chain wear. It's been out since 2017.

[@FordTechMakuloco]

Yeah I think the SNPLUS started showing up in early 2018 right after.

[@kevywilliams3304]

Yes we’re all going to run out and buy it 😂

[@andyh183]

Man with all of these issues it begins to make an electric vehicle sound very appealing.

[@jeremyhess7977]

electric cars have issues too....like....battery fires & instant death.

[@jeremyhess7977]

Melling makes the M490 for the Gen2 3.5L now, for about $240-ish. It's just a direct replacement [factory volume and pressure] and *not* a High Volume model. Maybe we'll see an HV model in the next year or so?..who the hell knows these days?

[@dshudson]

Figures, my 2017 3.5 ecoboost can't run this upgrade, that's probably why my phasers and chain went at 90k, nice 4k repair.

[@jeremyhess7977]

No, it wasn't the factory pump that caused the phasers to fail. It's a design issue with the lock-up pin on the factory phasers & oil leak down when the engine sits for hours. Ford redesigned the phasers & there's like 3 TSPs that cover the issue. 21B10 = Sucked, PCM flash that sometimes causes trans. shutter = re-flash back to factory & stay tuned. 21N03 & 21N08 = Fixed the trans. shutter issue with 21B10. If the flash doesn't work, they'll R&R your phasers with the updated/re-engineered ones.

[@dshudson]

@@jeremyhess7977 lol. Did you see the chart with the mileage on it, they are not helping anybody, so funny, of course the issue isn't going to happen before 40k miles. Zero accountability.

[@jeremyhess7977]

@@dshudson Yeah, I"m looking at the 21N03/21N08 TSP letter from Ford right now for the 2017-2019 block of vehicles. It says 100% covered replacement up to 69,999 miles on the 2017-19 models. So, it's a little better coverage than the 2011-2015 block of affected vehicles, but the same general problem has been hanging around for the last 20 years or so. My 2018 developed phaser rattle at 23.8k when Ford flashed my PCM under the 21B10 TSP when I took it in for "The Works" oil change....and it didn't rattle when I took it in. So, yeah, 21B10 was a cheap ass, bubble gum & duct tape remedy. I had them undo the PCM tweak a week later and the rattle went away...Hmmm, imagine that. LOL So, for now, my phasers are fine & the truck is dead silent on start up. I'll just keep an ear out for funky noises, and keep the notice in my glove box if BS happens before 70k. I only have 25.4k on the truck so I'm covered for a while. I also bought a secondary warranty on this truck to cover screwball maintenance items due to shitty engineering. I learned my lesson when I had my '05 with the dreaded 5.4L 3V Typewriter...err...Triton.
