i was going to say that the 7R081 part number wasn't shown on the diagram on the video @15:25 but i see it here in the comments. the long in/out tubing. also instead of scoring the black tubing lines to remove them, couldnt you try applying some heat gun heat to soften them up, and then removing them that way? thats how i remove sprinkler lines from barbed connectors

@WraithCustomsFirearms Год назад

Seriously, does this affect 2009-2014 Expeditions? I have a 2009 Expedition (El Limited) with the same line setup as this, should I worry about it or does it only affect the F150?

They wanted to jack up the motor to replace the lines and charge me 5 hours labor. I sent them your video and they said it would take them two-three hours. You saved me 2-3 hours labor and taught the dealer ‘specialist’ a lesson.

Informative videos. Replaced my lines this weekend, April 1, and was piece of cake. One regrete was not ordering two new plastic line locks. Yes I broke one and being on a weekend it stopped me dead in my tracks. I live in Hawaii and my truck has around 65,000k miles and taking your advice I wanted to be proactive and potentially avoid having to replace a burned up transmission. Things are a lot more expensive here compared to the mainland so thank you again for putting out these videos.

I was camping this summer in New Mexico and happened to see an earlier video on this problem. So I crawled under my 2014 Expedition (120K miles) and sure enough the crimp on both lines were split worse than this video. I'm from Michigan so was thinking with the crimps oriented vertically that water gets in there and freezes splitting the crimp. I took the truck to a Ford dealer in NM and it was a 3-4 wait for the parts so the mechanic cut of the crimps and put 2 hose clamps on each hose to get me on my way. It was nervous trip back to Michigan. I had them replaced and the transmission shop said they replace a lot of transmissions because of this problem. Thanks for the great videos and keeping me from getting stranded.

@cro-cro 6 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for all that you do!!! I changed mine last night at 137k on my '13 5.0 4wd. I wanted to get it done before I drove a lot for Christmas. Now I have one less thing to worry about. And if it wasn't for your videos, I wouldn't know it was needed, or how to do it, and what steps to take. It took me 4 hours including driving home, loading up my tools, then driving back to my warehouse (level indoor floor / heated) doing the job, loading everything up and going home. The hardest part was getting the transmission o rings to get aligned and in. I don't have a lift, so I jacked my truck up and put it on jack stands. I took the axle bolts out, but it didn't move very much. I definitely didn't get the bushing to go under the metal, so I snaked the old one out and put the new one in. Maybe because mine has a 2.5in leveling block in the front it was easy? If I was helping a friend, an we had no lift, but his truck was lifted, I'd probably try it without the jack stands and floor jack. For my truck I started at parts.ford.com/shop/en/us and put my VIN in, then searched for the transmission cooler and found the parts below. Then I called 2 local dealerships and compared their prices + shipping to www.fairwayfordparts.net/ and Fairway saved me over $100.

I've watched many of your videos and I have to say that yours are by far the best on YT. Thanks so much for posting, especially this one. I have a 2012 F150 with 190k miles on it and I have often commented that the transmission is my only real worry. No issues other than age. So after seeing this and the related warning video you did, I inspected mine and the crimp on the right side main line is split completely through! The only thing holding the rubber hose to the line is corrosion and luck. I just ordered the parts and will be replacing in the driveway this weekend. Every other weekend on average we make the 260 mile each way journey to our lake home. I think you saved me from being stranded on the road with a burnt up transmission!!!! Now I like you even more. Keep up the great work!

@sx300pilot5 Год назад

Recently did this on my ‘09 5.4L-3v SCrew FX4 as a result of Brian’s earlier warnings. The crimps were split, though not as bad. I also had a black plastic protector that the starter wire was mounted in that I had to remove. It was a PITA, but worth the peace of mind!

I didn’t as I don’t have a lift. I did put the front up on ramps though. To make more room, I used 4-wheel drive to back the front up on them. Unfortunately, mine was a little more involved. I had to remove the power steering rack bolts and loosen the transfer case to wiggle the lines out, the ‘09s seem to be an odd duck, built a little different than the others.

Just finished replacing waterpump, thermostat, flush/fill, belts, and O-rings on hoses. Next I did the lines and cooler on my 6R80 along with the pan drop/clean, filter, bulkhead sleeve, and pump seal that sits under the valvebody. The very worst part of this job was using a hand pump to put the fluid back in. By the time I was finished I used around 10 quarts and my tranny was at operating temp 🥹. Now I understand why Brian uses an electric pump. I wonder how much all this would have cost at a shop 🤔. Thank you @FordTechMakuloco your knowledge and experience is invaluable to us all.

@em2965 Год назад

I just did these in my 2013 6.2 a few weeks ago. Man I love my 6.2 but for this job the 5.0 would’ve been nice. 6.2 is very similar except the engine seems to much lower, I had practically no room between the oil pan and starter wire bundle and the crossmember. Also the front bracket attached to the lower corner timing cover stud, which also has the starter wire bundle attached. And when loosening the nut off the stud, it just wanted to take the stud out with it, got it done, but the 5.0 design a lot easier for sure

@paulb2094 10 месяцев назад

From what I have researched, there is no guarantee that the new line sets are any better than the original. I read a forum where guys have removed all the short lines in front of the radiator and installed rubber 1/2" trans hose from the metal lines near the frame directly to the radiator and cooler, eliminating points of failure such as the two couplings and the pressed on rubber hoses. That is how Ford does it on the Crown Victoria. Unless the metal tubing from the trans is damaged, why replace it? Plus installing new lines just creates a new time bomb. When will it break again? 15K? 25K? This video recommends replacing them asap so what difference does it make? There's no clear reason why it happens.

I would have taken it to the dealer and paid twice as much without it. By the way, I had a fluid transfer by the dealer a couple years ago.

Thanks for the warning on these. I changed all three parts tonight as well as the trans. fluid and filter on my 2013 F150 3.5L 2wd w/ 80k miles. This was the first time I was thankful not to have the 4x4.

@MrKCDME 11 месяцев назад

I've got a 2011 F-150 5.0 which has 68k miles that on warm days the trans over heats because it's one of the odd models with no auxiliary cooler. I'm going to take the opportunity to change the lines and install a cooler which I have to imagine should solve the problem. Thank you for a solid how-to video!

@calebhudson2686 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for this video and the detailed information! Only made it 2 miles and my truck died on my because of this leak. Didn’t make it far or smell anything burning so hopefully I can top everything back off and not have transmission issues

@MaddSweetGT500 Год назад

Awesome, this is going to be my next project. I already bought the 2 small hoses.

@J_J_Ander Год назад

First of all thank you, your video informing us of the fault in the connectors made me inspect mine. SO I replaced all of them from transmission to the cooler and back. Every one that you said to replace. Did it last August and no leaks no problems. Same split on my 13. I also put in a new cooler as well. I also installed a transmission dipstick.

@porschmn Год назад

Where did you get a transmission dip stick and how much did you have to pay? I thought these trans worked with a vacuum that's why they didn't come with dip stick.

Did mine today. 2010 Platinum 5.4L. Everything went as expected; glad I'm done. Only advice I have would be to buy the two plastic caps that join the cooler hoses to the large lines to the transmission. I carefully tried to remove both, and broke both. Waiting for new ones to be delivered.

@J_J_Ander Год назад

Brian I installed a after market dipstick for my transmission (2013 F150, 5.0 with 6r80)and mounted it on firewall. I had my truck transmission fluid up to 190 ish checked it on OEM dipstick right in middle of cross hatch. Then with it still running installed adapter for dipstick then the dipstick. Pulled out the dipstick, checked it twice then used a file to mark fluid level since there is no crosshatch on dipstick.

@edwymer2226 Год назад

Thank you for the Instructions... I have to change out the lines on my 2013 F150 XLT because one of the lines is cracked on the aluminum part and so I put a heavy duty hose clamp on it to hold it for a day so I could get the new lines. The other two short lines are like new so no need to change then yet but soon so as not to have to worry about that for a while.

@anonymoussee8960 8 месяцев назад

I just did this job a few days ago. 2010 F150 5.4L. You will definitely have to drop the sway bar and front axles as show in this video. The clearance above the front axle is so tight I couldn't pass the new lines through until I dropped it down! As long as you follow the steps in order, this is a pretty straight forward job. Good luck to you

You will have to lift the truck at least a few inches. Extra ground clearance will make your life a lot easier under there.@@user-pu6lp8ig9l

@Kevin09210 Год назад

The global Ford Ranger (PX1, PX2, PX3) that have the 3.2 I5 diesel also have the 6R80 trans with a liquid to liquid transmission cooler mounted on the side of the trans. Coolant comes from the thermostat and the heater core. The thermostat is mounted on the side of the engine and has an outlet to the block and other outlets to other places. Both coolant hoses start to leak since the clamps lose tension and you gotta replace them.

@rodhogg8858 Год назад

On my 2010 4.6 I used a pair of oil resistant rubber lines going direct from the radiator to the transmission via the frame past the driver side strut. That was about 6 years ago and still working fine.

@jamesplotkin4674 Год назад

AN8 braided hose fits 1/2" OD line, so that's a neat idea. I've done something similar on a car with a transplant TH350 and I like to use Oetiker clamps.

@huntspoint3442 Год назад

Yeah, I was thinking just cut out the quick connect. Cut the rubber hose crimp and replace with a new rubber hose.

@michaelrobertshaw9666 Год назад

I have a 2010 F-150 with the 4.6 and when I come to a complete stop when I go to take off the transmission is not running through first-year like it should it's like hesitant but once I get up The Little Speed it takes care of it and then went to-second it runs like it should so when I stopped at a red light I put it in park turn it off turn it back on and it would take off like it should a wrench showed up on the diagnostic screen

@gregalulis Год назад

Brian, any chance you could post a video on just replacing the quick connects with the appropriate hosing and clamps? I know there are the other two lines also but I see others have gone this route and would really like to know how to do it properly. I am not wild about replacing the main line with a new one that could also fail sooner or later. Keep the excellent videos coming, you are a national treasure.

@FordTechMakuloco Год назад

The problem is you would need a flaring tool for the lines that were cut and I don't think someone is going to buy an expensive flaring tool for one job..

@gregalulis Год назад

I have been looking at small on the vehicle flaring tools for brake lines but none seem to be available for 1/2 inch tubing for the trans lines. Same for small tube benders. As stated I would rather replace the quick connects with tubing and unions, then never have to worry again about failures. The prices for the above tools are reasonable for the brake lines. My other two lines are pristine. Do the same tools exist for 1/2 inch lines? Keep up the excellent videos!

Thanks! Used your video to do the job after leak started in the front (2017 XLT tow package) a bit different but almost the same. Only problem left with a bit larger bolt than the two found on the auxiliary cooler from the long line and can’t find for the life of me where it goes but no leaks…
