May 2021 and STILL helping the diesel community. Thank you good Sir. It's because I know these videos are available that I'm confident in buying a 25 year old truck. R.I.P. Ron
Ron gave everyone the greatest gift he could give before he passed. he gave his family a long term RU-vid revenue and gave the world his help for years to come.
2023 and this man is still helping people and teaching how this tucks used to work. I hope Ron’s family are still monitoring this Chanel. Great videos, great teaching and the best of all everything is made with love. I hope God has you on a special place Ron. Rest in peace man
Rest in peace Ron, I have learned a lot from you and your great videos. I hope that you and Rusty Bunn are spending some quality time together and talking about all the great things you both have done for us all!!
Bless you Ron. Rest in piece, your selflessness and help provided to the powerstroke community will never be forgotten. I only wish I could have shaken your had and said thank you in person.
I had been watching his videos for a while and unknown to me he had already passed ever since then I find it important to comment on his videos their clarity and instructions are great RIP Ron
Great video with many important details for not only the seal replacement, but also the transmission mounting bracket assembly order. Seal can be installed without special tool, just use a deadblow hammer to install wear ring first, then lube and slide seal on with RTV. Great job!
Just found about Ron ' s death ...thank you for the knowledge you shared with us. ...God bless you and be in peace...my condolences to Ron ' s family and all his friends...you are going to be greatly missed.
Every time I watch Ron”s videos I’m always grateful for the knowledge he selflessly gave away fro free. I looked this video up for a job I have tomorrow and I wasn’t surprised it was a DieselTechRon video. God bless his family and may Ron be wrenching in the sky.
Such sad news. Thoughts and prayers to his family! Will be greatly missed by every 6.0l owner with a RU-vid account, Helped me about a year ago on something I was stuck on and will be for ever grateful. Rip my friend.
I'm watching this as I find out that you're no longer with us man you're videos turned my entire career around rest in paradise keep them angels trucks going
I was very sad to hear of Ron's passing. When I was looking for a Powerstroke to haul my 5'ver with, Ron's videos were one of the things I looked at to research what to look for problem wise when buying a 6.0. I found Ron's videos and information in them very helpful in my search for a good used Powerstroke. My condolences to Ron's family and friends, he seemed like a very genuine and down to earth guy and he will surely be missed by those who were close to them and to those of us in the Ford Powerstroke community. RIP Ron.
This man saved ALL of us tons of time and money. If you are a Tech and you do this for a living well then face it HE Saved you time and you made money because of that. Donate to his family! They have lost a father, husband and provider. We cant bring him back but we can help the family. Pay that Karma back, pay it forward. Someday your family might need help. You can find the donation tab in DieselTechRons last video.
My Lord, why are all the good ones taken. I miss this guy something awful 😢 I still refer back to your videos Ron, many thanks to your family for leaving us with your educational videos🙏God Bless your family, RIP my brother, til we meet again 🕊🕊🕊
I like that 3/8 battery gun. Doesn't have a silly sized battery like the 18v snap on one. Good to see a guy of older years using battery tools as even at 35 I thought I was too old to buy new/uprated tools lol.
I really would like to own a ford diesel truck one day but im looking videos of common problems and what not but im really sad for ron you will be missed thanks for all this content it will help mw with my future diesel truck when i have it
Este fue el mejor maestro de todos los tiempos y seguirá siendo el mejor. mientras siga en nuestra memoria y nuestros corazón.porque los que aprendí los ago con amor y paciencia como no enseñaste.que Dio te tenga en el mejor lugar amen
Do you advertise for Milwaukee or just really like their tools? They are top notch. ONLY thing they need is to match ingersol rands impact ratchet with ~150 ft/lbs that would be a game changer.
I bought a 3/8 drive Milwaukee cordless impact in 2007 , new it would bust the lug nuts loose on a small pickup , I've left it out in the rain , once ran the thing over with a Bobcat T320 (weighs about 9000lbs with the forestry cutter package) and the cordless impact still works , the battery that was crushed doesn't fit any more .... Go Milwaukee hahah
Great video, is the seal something that should be replaced if the trans is removed for other work? With most 7.3s getting up there in mileage is it worth changing the seal out as preventative maintenance when doing up pipes or torque converters?
hey ron, recently did this on my 01, dropped the transmission replace the seal, now the oil leak is fixed, however the transmission now tries to take off in drive not first, if I pull the stick down into first gear it takes off in 2nd. I replaced the tss on the top of the transmission (closest to the bellhousing) didn't fix anything..... speedo does work, checked the harness for cut wires, or corrosion can't find anything.... any ideas?
Hey Ron great video, I'm on a 7.3 build right now and soon will be needing to do the rear main. I've been looking for the tool and can't seem to find that part number on freedom racing. There's many rear main tools listed but none with the part number you stated. Any idea if the number changed. Thanks
Vincent I had the same problem about a month ago when I was searching for a rear main seal press for my 7.3. A friend of mine had offered up some advice to use the flywheel spacer and four flywheel bolt to press down the new wear ring on the crank. This worked perfectly for my needs because if I were to buy the tool I would only use it once.
