If you love bikes, you landed at the right place! From broke to beautiful, I show you all the steps of the way, without crazy expensive tools, from the comfort of my garage.
So this is me. We have 2 fords. 2017 F150 & 2018 Expedition Max. Both are now doing this same shudder. I bought the Lube Guard Shudder Fix. I realize the dipstick is underneath. My F150 sits up high so i think i can get under it pretty easy. Do you just unscrew the dipstick and squeeze this stuff in? Just that simple?
@@ChaseBuiltBikes so i am fixed! I paid a local shop $50 to put it in. On day 3 now without any shudder!. Going to use it on the 2018 expedition as well. Thank You!
@@robbingevers2235 Removing the old piston with muriatic acid won't give you piston slap, but if the cylinder is out of round, has too much taper, or out of spec in general, that will cause piston slap. I recommend measuring the cylinder before and after to make sure the cylinder is in spec
If you don't fail you don't learn, I think its pretty cool that you uploaded it, you're young man down the road you will have a lot of knowledge to pass on. 👍🏼👍🏼 It didn't come out bad.
I love all these RU-vidrs posting videos of “free” boats like they didn’t pay for it….🙄 I’ve been in the marine industry a LONG time and never seen one “free” boat like these guys just happen to pick up all the time.
I assure you the boat was free. Long story with the boat, but the very nice older guy I got it from, ended up getting stuck with it due to a friend passing away, and wanted it gone. I originally declined the offer because I figured a free boat would be alot worse than this, but after checking the boat out, I couldn't help but take it.
The safety hose from the fuel pump is supposed to feed into the carb fuel bowl, not the air intake. If there isn't a fitting on the carb for it then you must have a non marine carb.
Picked up a 2017 5.0 with 110k noticed a rumble in the steering wheel at 55 mph on a light accel on coast or heavy accel it would go away. Have had this truck for 3 months this rumble is weak but it is there. When bought I had the trans pan dropped filter replaced a flush performed by a co worker at a dealership I worked at for 15 years no worries was done right. Today being a diesel tech in a Freightliner dealership for 17 years we have 10 other dealers and all of the other dealers send problem vibrations to us and have been fixed. My foreman says my ass is calibrated to fix vibrations 35 years in this gig. Have diagnosed this throttle induced vibration on class 8 trucks as being a loose yoke or worn out u joint straps zero axial play in my truck on the drive shaft. Today used the app bought by my employer in my i phone only used for warranty otherwise use my ass. Loaded in my truck and drove to work held it at 55 and looked at the result a forth order vibration engine related likely torque convertor. Shutter fix going in.
Before you launched, I thought to myself I hope the boot has been looked at… that can turn real dangerous real quick. If the engine cut out, it would have 100% sunk. You got lucky to get it back into the trailer!
We had a brand new Hammond boat in the late 70's, don't remember which model but it wasn't a bow rider and was around 20' length. It had a Ford Windsor 351 engine with a Holley 650 carburetor, which gave us a top speed of 65mph when it was trimmed just right. It was great for getting skiers out of the water quick and easy. It was a good quality boat, and it seems like the one you have has held up well over time. Best of luck getting it fully operational.
@@Real_Jenius Thank you! I've heard great things about these boats while researching. I would've loved to see the boat brand new. 65mph top speed is real good , I'm curious what my boat will be, once it doesn't leak! 😂
I had this issue today, I was hitting a tabletop wide open 4th gear (really small tight track) up the face it got stuck and I over rotated somehow I saved it and pulled the clutch. Was revving it's tits off for 10sec idk how it didn't blow up. Did you fix it? If so how?Had lots of trouble throughout the rest of the day.
@@matthewnelson1108 there's a lot of reasons a two stroke throttle can hang or get stuck. My issue was the brand new cable I bought was actually too short. Make sure you check your throttle cable, make sure it operates smooth and there's no cable fraying, check your throttle tube, make sure it's not getting stuck with the grip on the end of the bar, check the throttle slide, for chips, or anything where it could hang in the carb. After that it could be related to a lean condition, make sure that your boot for your reed valve isn't dry rotted or tore where air could leak past, and also inspect your flywheel side crank seal for leaks, you can check the boot and seal by letting the bike idle, and spray some starting fluid around the boot, and around the seal and check if you have an increase in idle speed. I know that's a lot, but there's a lot of reasons. Throttle sticking is definitely scary, and very nice save! Most people panic and have a real bad crash.
I don’t want to sound stupid but I have. 2015 Ford Expedition 3.5 Echo Boost doing the exact same thing and we have tried everything. My question is where exactly do I add the lube guard shudder fix in my specific vehicle and is it made for all vehicles or do I need lube guard shudder fix for my specific Ford?
@@kbelcher67 You don't need specific shudder fix for your vehicle, it's universal for all. And as far as adding it, you're going to add it thought the transmission dip stick hole, I believe on your vehicle it will be on the passenger side under the vehicle, on the transmission
@@ChaseBuiltBikes if I get the lube guard in and it stops the shudder, I’m assuming I should still at some point soon drain the transmission fluid, change the filter as well?. And if so, do I put another tube of the lube guard back in if I change out the fluid and filter ?
@@kbelcher67 If the shudder fix fixes the issue, I do recommend changing the fluid and filter after that. If it still shudders with the additive, there's a good chance that your torque converter is too far worn out, and will need replacement
@@ChaseBuiltBikes Amazing, it seemed to have worked. Thank you so much. I will call around and find out what places charge to change the transmission fluid and filter, mine was more brown than red/pink. I’m not sure we are mechanically inclined enough to do that on our own but may have to try if it’s too expensive. THANK YOU for this video because I’ve been trying to figure out what this was for 6 months.
I just got my 1st boat....haven't had it on the water yet.... It's in for an inspection at our local marina..... hopefully I have better luck than you..... but at least you're doing it yourself....I'm paying through the nose ....keep going....best of luck...cheers
we any time we came off plain ran the bilge blower constantly. especially idling around docks to just trailering or launching. So make sure the vent tube isn’t dry rotted replace oem parts and Marine grade stuff. Never ever half ass something oh it will work red neck it. Owning a boat it’s part of it maintenance is the key. Lower unit change engine oil change annually meaning spring to spring. There are some owners go neh but buy the most expensive boat they can find. i’ve seen it. half of me wants to take it away from them or give hard stern lesson because two your family members lives depends on going coming back in having fun to. Some it’s more money than Cents they just go you can tell those owners from its expensive i should do what’s required. Then they fuss cuss blame it on the brand or the boat. When all they had to do was winterize it change oils filters wax polish etc lube stuff don’t abuse it either.
@@MARKLOCKWOOD2012 I've definitely learned a ton about inboards I never knew before hand. You're absolutely right, safety is key with them. I'm planning on going through the boat completely, especially after this maiden voyage, and making sure she's tip top shape
@@ChaseBuiltBikes bilge pump for that very scenario old antiques didn’t have them even boats today not all do. what i’d do install one well you just about had a Titanic Nothing to take a hole saw caulk screws install under the engine down into the bilge. two drain plug i’d remove the old one in lue of one you can threat in preferred in brass nothing plastic or rubber our old 1980’s cobalt had one you screwed in by hand tighten with a crescent then after you park remove it. The boot in your video dry rotted hence free boat free problems but if you can do a little tlc put a new key way or retro fit a modern one your going to have to remove the out drive two should have checked the out drive trims most times go their web site if not save the old one to trace Omc yea i thunk or think that’s Mercruiser early era but come fall open pet cocks and remove water line trim down out drive in storage that’s why the exaust got a hole in it being lazy. we used to remove the battery charge it off n on during the winter our boat had quartz clock that ran off the battery would drain if left in. Our boat didn’t have a disconnect switch from factory. if they did wasn’t available or made for them. Yea my summer years were spent tubing etc. i think i saw her once either for sale boat color wise on you tube brown tan/cream color with teak someone put Gertrude or another video had the bilge pump going which meant abused id take her away from you because you abused her my child hood memories no it was not new but it was clean no oxidation on the gel coat teak was stained and kept up. even the trailer was original fenders were buffed to a mirror bunks never rotted or the carpet rotted or torn. it was garage kept and covered. seats mint They used a lot of wood accents cup holders trim hand rail bow, floor engine cowling seated 8 never beached always trailered to get gas burned premium only engine knock. my dad added two wooden cuddy doors just cut off the wind ski locker lid was teak helm chrome steering wheel COBALTS logo in cursive God only knows where she’s at and the condition. Sinful what they cost now brand new i prefer 80’s
@@brambraam2228 So from my knowledge (which is limited lol) its a 1977 Hammond El Grenada Elite V1750. I do have the title as well that matches that. Trying to find info or even pictures on it is very weird because they were only made for a couple of years. I just looked up the SSV 177 and it almost looks identical, like they could've even came out of the same factory
@@ChaseBuiltBikesyeah its almost an look a like i think the dash and everything is the same. I wish i could get a glastron shipt to me because i think where you live there are plenty
@@andreholkamp6446 It was MINUTES from sinking! I wish I would've checked the transom seal beforehand, but I guess you live and you learn 😂 I didn't mention this in the video, but the bilge pump quit on me also, great timing!
Sometimes a cheap boat is the most expensive boat. When considering ROI and more of fun than profit. The aggravation of doing this half way suck. When committing to something is the worst choice. I bought a boat for a grand and it’s on shape. I’m not concerned of losing the boat. I’m concerned about losing the boat while my family is in it. Best of luck in your new blue hole. It’s like a black hole but gravity is cash. It’s sucks in everything
@@quantumtechcrypto7080 Definitely a scary thought losing the boat to the water... I'm worried about that myself and almost was there! Thank you, I feel the gravitational pull already 😂
Now from where I live and where I’m from the parts for these types of boats they’re not very cheap and they’re hard to come by and when they do come across them people want to sell them for a crazy price for an example, the Bello, the exhaust manifold from the lower unit to the boat back in the day you were able to buy one of those 40 bucks now they want 200 bucks at this point I make my own out of flexible dryer vent
I've noticed parts are pretty hard to find as well, and I agree on the prices.. some of them are absolutely insane. I've always heard owning a boat was expensive, and now I see why!
I have 1973 MerCruiser 3 L 140 horse. It is an inboard. It’s a four-cylinder. She is very good on gas. I do have an open mod where my Belo from my exhaust is not hooked up to my lower unit which still sucks up water. It still does what it’s Gotta do but by having the open mod it sounds a lot better. And it goes quicker than it should with sounds beautiful
@@travisstewart4746That's very cool! Where does the exhaust dump out at? I was very surprised how quiet this boat was on the water, sometimes I couldn't tell if she was still running or not because she was whisper quiet. This is my first inboard, and for some reason I was expecting it to be loud!
