[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Hope we answered a few more of you guys questions on the truck! If you missed part one, check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4WVhHWqhZaknNk

The handle leaking is either the sunroof or cab lights, on my 2018 250 it was the cab lights. My truck is a xl, no sunroof

[@MagicCarpetRide8669]

I have a 2019 F350 Platinum and it had death wobble.. took it to the dealer and they told me the steering damper was recalled. They installed the new one and no problems since.

[@AlveysAngle]

My 2018 F250 single cab used to leak from the grab handle as well. Just randomly stopped.

[@alexg3855]

Hi Brian! I know this video is older, but I just bought a 2022 f350 xl chassis cab with the 7.3 gas. Sticker price of $48.6k Used 2019 xlt was 46k

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Congrats homie!

[@joelisaac7835]

Love the truck vids Brian!

[@adamlaing8205]

I drive a 2019 Ford F-350 for work and drive around 400 miles a day and any time on the freeway and you hit it bump it would always get the “death wobble” just installed a dual steering stabilizer and it takes bumps at 70mph like a champ

[@gmoorehead70]

Make sure you have plenty of tread on your tires. Bald tires can contribute to the death wobble

[@Fencearmor]

Great information, Brian! Always awesome to learn and hear more about the truck!

[@mikedeiana1504]

Brian one of the drains for your sunroof is clogged that’s why you’re getting water in the truck

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Ok thank you!

[@tomclams3689]

did u add leather seats that doesnt look like a lariat.

[@sheathegradeescape3524]

There 104k here in Canada

[@mikeyp6765]

Nice video Brian 👍🏼 I liked your thoughts on buying New vs Used, you have good points.

[@toddbehrends1373]

I just purchased an extended warranty for the 2019. Since I use it for my business that is why I did that. I don't want to have to pay for a big ticket item and have any down time. I got a 5 year 100,000 miles. I do have a diesel engine.........GO DURAMAX

[@thomasbradley682]

Hi Brian, one thing that was not correct about truck length. I have a 2018 F250 extended cab with an 8' bed your truck with a full crew cab with the shorter bed is the same length as my truck.

[@AG-xw8bo]

Your correct on sunroof drain tube for the pillar leak

[@justinhedegore7464]

I’ve had a vehicle drip water there too and it was the sunroof drain was plugged. I hit it with a c02 drain clear gun and it cleared it right up with no more water dripping in. Marker lights will do the same thing if they loosen up

[@sneakerfanatic2339]

Definitely check the seals on your hd lamps you had installed. When you don’t get those factory on the truck, a lot of times the seal from where you drilled the hole will leak. Hoping it is something like this so that it is not a major issue for you!

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Thank you!

[@SouthernStyleLawnCare]

That water dripping from the handle is most likely a leak from Cab lights, or moon roof. Possibly a door seal but cab lights love to leak especially if they did not seal them with silicone.

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Ok good stuff, thank D!

[@matthewsmowing]

I usually buy new as well. Although, I bought a used 2003 Dodge 2500. It had 160,000 miles when I bought it. I was skeptical, but it was SUPER clean and was a great price. Come to find out the owner before me drove to Florida in the winter and parked it in the garage. Never hauled anything with it in the time he owned it. I got lucky finding it! Eventually I’ll upgrade to a new truck, but for right now, I’m glad I found a “diamond in the rough”

[@americantrucknation4891]

My dad has the A pillar problem too, he took it in and it is the seal on the back of the back window panel, it has been popped. His was from constant pushing on the glass. It cant be fixed without taking apart the entire cab. Essentially totaled, with all that need to be replaced and removed to get to the seal. The drain field up top was also clogged, they cleaned that out too.

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Well that’s exciting to know. Yikes.

[@blackwolfnews1722]

That sounds like a design problem that should be addressed.

[@americantrucknation4891]

Yeah, it more than likely is for 2021, most everybody at ford drives a 15+ F150 they’ll complain if they get a leak. They also know what common problems with the truck are so they’ll fix it

[@jamess9208]

Seeing a Brian’s lawn maintenance ad for fuel credit on Brian’s lawn maintenance video🤯

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Lol shoutout to Fuel Cred!

[@lakertaker2003]

I found out that changing my oil at 3K or so... on a 6.2L with Synthetic Blend oil 5W-20 with new oil change quiets the ticking instantly each oil change. I recommend oil changes every 3K-5K the oil will be dirty! At least that's my experience. The oil burns harder plowing & pulling. I run synth blend formula with the 6.2L.

[@joeibarra4869]

Another great video!!! Great info.!!! God Bless!!!

[@toyoder1]

Brian I have a 17 lariat ultimate with the pano roof too. It’s the rain gutters for the pano roof. The way they are made is that where the glass panels meet is where water comes in and drains thru the cab. If the drains are plugged water has nowhere to go except into the cab. Same thing happened to me. That’s the way they are made👎 They replaced both panels twice under warranty. Results the same! But if u keep the drains free of debris u won’t have problems. I check the drains every oil change. Otherwise, I love my Ford!

[@JohnM...]

I'd love see a greater range of merch - especially merch a person can buy as a fan of your company....agree, guys?

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Always open to ideas. I’m not super creative but I like the designs we have come up with. Lmk! 💪😎

[@elliotmiller8525]

Brian check into bunker branding

[@degroffjames]

Good point about the truck prices. I'm an owner operator too and want my work vehicle to have all the creature comforts but when I look at new vs. used, the line is steadily being blurred when it comes to pricing. It's insane. I'll likely get a new one in a few years when they typically do their employee pricing again. Awesome video! Thanks

[@kevinjean5714]

The leak is probably the roof marker lights. Sometimes they loosen

[@michaelfoote5955]

Agreed. I've had multiple sets of recons they all leaked

[@charlesmorgan8609]

The water leak could be a seal in one of the windows or the sun roof in one of my work trucks we had the issue and they said it was the seal went bad and the warranty handled it but I haven’t had a leak since,the truck is a 2017 Ford F-350 crew cab with the sun roof so that could be your problem

[@maxclement1502]

Thanks Brian. I was watching it on my tv with my parents they where like are you showing this to us so we get you a f-250. Thanks Brian

[@peteschannel323]

Water came out of my grab handles in my 2016 F150. I removed the handles and visors and peeled back the headliner. The drain tubes for the panoramic roof were completely disconnected. Have no idea how this happened. Connected them back together and zip tied them and no leaks since.

[@lifeofoscar4234]

I think 10 year old trucks is the sweet spot for work trucks. Can find them for a good deal and still reliable

[@connerhumberson8159]

Love the videos

[@richpicone7788]

If not the sunroof, maybe the cab lights on top may have a bad seal.

[@americantrucknation4891]

It is, my dad has the same problem he has a 2016 F150, no cab lights. Im glad mine doesn’t do that as of now.

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

I’d be shocked if it was the cab lights, I looked them over and they seem fine.

[@sgninjasllc8172]

Great video bro I like the truck great tips thanks for letting us know I can't wate to see the next video bro👍

[@danstennis1817]

My 2019 leaked in the same place and it was the windshield.

[@conorsmith5471]

Your tires look sweet. Do you run different tires for plowing? Or just get tires that are good for snow when the truck needs it?

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

They are the Nitto Ridge Grapplers, I love them

[@257Tony]

I'm with you on truck prices only continuing to go up. Ordered a '21 F250 Lariat with the Black out package and the 7.3, After X plan and a PCO from Ford, 59k sale price. As ridiculous as that sounds, I feel like it's a lot of truck for the money nowadays!

[@jonburgess30]

my grandfather's 1999 truck that I now own was only cost $20,000. now it's the most base interior and package. all he got was a reg cab with an 8ft bed and a 4x2. I don't even have a cd/cassette player that is how basic my music is. I also have to manually roll down my widows

[@davewalker1007]

That camera and lighting game is on point. Looks great!

[@sunseeker5071]

Great video..... very informative. Gave me a few things to consider with my next truck purchase. Brian, you make me nervous when you plow with your trailer hitch still attached.....it’s so easy to ram a hitch through a garage door. They make a rubber bumper that inserts into receiver. It’s made by Hitch Hammer. Check it out. Thx again fir the video

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Never thought to remove it! But, not a has thought!

[@l.c.6321]

would you pass out fliers in january & february or is it a waste of time?

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Nah not til March or when the weather breaks.

[@MIHYLLC]

I have a 2020 F250 STX. When I'm running quiet, I can hear a slight ticking noise from the engine. Not sure if it's a noise reduction issue or what. Just odd.

[@JonsDailyHustle]

I will eventually get a bigger truck than my 1/2 ton but not until I absolutely need that extra duty

[@ray_banz5899]

I had that same leaking problem on an old 2001 f150 I used to have. I just caulked the hell outta it and i never saw water again. Your truck is to new and nice to be doing things like that though lol. And with new vs used, I’d rather spend the money in repairs and maintenance then a truck payment. I agree, the prices of trucks nowadays are ridiculous. I’m going to hang on to my 2013 Silverado 2500 till the wheels fall off lol!

[@ethanwilliams1825]

I agree I bet the sun roof drains are clogged.

[@keithkrzanowski7401]

I agree if you can buy a new truck that's reliable. Our vehicles are a tool. You can't make money without them. I picked up 2 plowing accounts last year because the contractors truck was always broke down and mother nature didn't care.

[@mattbucko6900]

I guess the King Ranch and Platinum have the rear heated seats as standard.

[@angelreyna5686]

The king ranch is my dream truck 😍... but you gotta start somewhere .

[@larryosselborn8353]

Would you buy a new f 250 if it comes out with the new interest like the new f 150 has the digital spadomator and the fold out center console table

[@danfontaine6992]

Brian I was kind of wondering your advice I waste my Silverado I'm in year 2 in January next year is my lease is up I only have 7500 miles on it it's a 1500 I really want to go up to a 2500 do you think I should buy that truck and run it for a while or do you think I should step up give me your advice there's a lot of value in the truck

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Just depends on what you can afford and what you plan to haul. A 1500 is fine with a utility trailer and a mower or two. If you plan to pull an enclosed and 2 zero turns, a good 3/4 ton will be ideal. Wish you all the best.

[@gmoorehead70]

Sunroof drainage is plugged. Same thing happens to me

[@esloyaltylawncare8738]

[@curb2cash799]

How many engine and idle hours are on the truck?

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

3,342 Hours, 1,815 Idle

[@alexairey4972]

Another great Video! I personally disagree with the used vs new. It may just be the demographic and area I live in. ( Northeris Canada) I bought a 3 year old platinum with 100,000km on it for almost 1/3 of what it is new. I see lots of truck that are 30-50,000cad used that are 80,000-100,000 new. The depreciation on a new vehicle just kills you for the first couple years. I bought a used 3 year old truck, for 60,000$ less than what it was of the lot

[@eddie2819]

Do you hear a loud ticking noise at idle with the 6.2 engine?

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

I do, more recently. Any idea?

[@Adventureswithmike1]

I have a 2013 f250 with the 6.2 with 174k miles and no noises at the ..so times it will have a ticking sound at start up. But go's away after 5 seconds..

[@eddie2819]

@@BriansLawnMaintenance I do on my f250 with 53,000 miles. I heard it’s common on the 6.2l motors. No idea what it is though sorry! 🤷🏻‍♂️ I first thought I was going crazy but truck still runs and drives well.

[@eddie2819]

@@Adventureswithmike1 mines constant. Some days louder than others.

[@mikewyant1135]

We have a small fleet with four F550's and one F650. The way to think about them is to realize that they are a tool and you will need to replace them. Otherwise, you're going crazy trying to fix them all the time when they get to the 100,000+ range... So we buy new and then sell them in just about 3 years. That being said they are work trucks and get no personal use.

[@Dale.Nienow]

Great video Brian, I do have to agree that trucks are getting way overpriced! I do like Spencer lawn care new light bar on his truck!! Hopefully that leaking handle isn’t a big problem!

For pickups, buy new. There are WAY too many different configurations of trucks, ford has 167,000 different configurations, you’ll never know what your getting. You also don’t know what happened to it with the previous owner.

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Another great reason to NOT buy a used vehicle. Especially with 100k miles, lord knows what they were hauling and doing to it day in day out. My .02!

[@americantrucknation4891]

@@BriansLawnMaintenance exactly, a Ford fusion or something of that nature you can buy used but pickups in particular just save your money

[@michaelferris6370]

Hi Brian, Your leak is coming from your aftermarket cab lights that were installed. Those recon lights ALWAYS leak. I'd put factory ones on it. Hope this helps keep up the great work!
