1995 Ford F250 Maintenance - Glow Plug Relay, Blower Motor, Belt Tensioner, Rusted Spring Perch

We need to do some fixing on my 1995 F250 Powerstroke. She won't start, won't blow, and she's slowly falling apart. But we can fix it!

Damn right only takes a second to sign the finance agreement can take a lifetime to get out, Paid Off is a wonderful peace of mind.

It took me a long time to figure out the value of "paid for" but I finally got it. So I sold my leased car and bought an older one that I could pay cash for then every month I saved the amount I was previously paying monthly. Before long I had enough to buy a nice car for cash.

[@countrypete]

The wheels haven't fallen off yet so keep on driving it.

[@richardbryant7165]

Your truck is like most vehicles owned by mechanics, the last one that gets proper attention. The way you talk while working on stuff is much like I do when I'm working with my kids. The best way for others to learn is to explain what you are doing and why you do it a certain way. Just subscribed because your videos make sense to me and I might just learn something along the way. Keep up the great work.

[@johndowe7003]

mechanics always have shitty car/trucks, theyre super minty though

[@psavel274]

Totally agree. In my 25 years of turning wrenches, being tied down in someone else's shop all day, I never wanted to touch my own shit. Just go home, eat some dinner and relax. I am sad to say I neglected a lot of stuff on my vehicles because I burned myself out with everyone else's junk all day. Lol so true

[@Mahkwa]

[@BVHinc]

If you are noticing that your heater is only putting out air in the defrost mode it is because the white vacuum line near the passenger side hood hinge on your truck is disintegrated. Replace that rotted line with regular rubber vacuum hose. Cut it back into the loom so you can connect to an area of white line that has been shielded from UV exposure. The other side of the line goes to the actuator on top of the heater box. Great videos and I appreciate the fact that you film the humility you experience instead of hiding it like in the DT466E oil pickup tube bolts that were "missing". Keep it up! Also noted that you have the old tailgate in your scrap bin. Those aluminum trim panels on the tailgates are worth a few bucks to others if you toss it up on craigslist.

[@Hjerte_Verke]

This truck is like an artifact to a simpler time of the 'bare bones, no nonsense truck', in regard to the plainness, the spartan interior, no headliner, etc. Nowadays all trucks are luxury cars that drive like cars and nearly all of them are 4-door crew cabs.

[@joshuamassie3505]

You know the reason I watch these videos is to learn, and if people think you talk to much there is a volume button they can utilize.

[@S3phy]

17:07 that resistor-looking part is a thermal fuse. They go open over a certain temperature. I have replaced them in waffle makers and such. They're 10 for $1 on eBay or AliExpress from chinese sellers :)

[@paulravitsky2898]

There usually is a temperature {in degrees C} printed on the fuse. Stay as close to that value as going higher could cause a fire!

[@beny8]

They even bury those in transformers. Replaced one in my early 80's hifi amplifier two weeks ago.

[@derbruzzler7574]

Replaced many of these in all kinds of electrical stuff. Its purpose is to prevent overheating of the resistor unit when the motor is blocked.

[@JoeHynes284]

[@ohiofarmer5918]

Hey, wes. I know where there is a 7.3 IDI with a real nice body that has a bad engine that runs but maybe a bent rod. I suspect it has a bad injector that caused a hydro lock. 1991 model right along Interstate 70. One thousand dollars buys it. I could not believe how solid it is.

[@mdouglaswray]

Your discussion adds information, I appreciate it.

[@stephenmeeks684]

It’s nice to be able to have an outside supplier for parts conveniently “close by”. When I had an equipment service business, they required me to warehouse $10k of their parts in-house for each manufacturer supplier. It was very ery expensive and they took up a lot of space in my shop.

[@the_hate_inside1085]

If you plan to keep it, consider cleaning the underside with a hot water pressure washer, then after it dries, spraying the whole thing with creeping anti rust fluid/vax. It works even if the car is old, and has started to rust. Raising the car at an angle, then drilling holes at strategic locations, and spaying it up the holes, so it creeps along the beams is also beneficial. Heck even old motor oil, and some solvent works if you are on a budget, but it is pretty messy. I used a product called Dinitrol ML, under my car, it worked great.
