@mogart01 Год назад

@@PRO4XKEV Think of the type and level of oxidation that occurs when you put two dissimilar metals together like steel and aluminum. Go look at any tractor-trailer rig and look at the trailer. The aluminum skin has a layer of plastic between it and the steel frame and supports of the trailer, WHY you ask? Because just with moisture and sunlight the steel and aluminum will react and eat each other to death! NOW factor in the torque, forcing the bond even closer, the MASSIVE amount of acids produced in the combustion process, and the extreme heat! Had some trouble pulling threads when pulling old, untreated plugs? Or maybe you had to work the plug back and forth for 10 minutes just to get ONE plug to unscrew? That stuff that is keeping you from loosening the torque and just spinning the plug out, do you know what that is? That is the oxidation from the steel and aluminum locking the threads up, and possibly even removing what is left of the threads as you pull the plug! The fix is simple, put a dab of anti-seize on the plug, the rotation of installing it will put a super thin layer to protect the threads in the head, won't prevent heat dissipation of the plug, and won't cost you anything except the satisfaction of knowing that you are smart enough to put a bit of protectant on the threads without slathering it on and screwing up the grounding and effectiveness of the plug like NGK thinks you are not!

@keithwiebe1787 Год назад

I've been a mechanic over 40 years and don't use anti seize on any sparkplug except on the 3 valve Ford engines and only on the non thread part per their tsb. Never had a problem. Just have to remove plugs once in awhile. Anti seize is a mess and especially on lugnuts. Use it on exhaust all the time.

I spent over $500 at O'Reilly's for Made in the USA Borg Warner coils for my V8 2001 Lincoln LS years ago. One of them was dead right out of the box. Another one failed two weeks later and a third one two weeks after that. Yes, of course they immediately gave me new ones, but it was still a hassle to have to keep replacing them not to mention running on 7 cylinders to get home each time. A few years later I started a small used car lot selling low priced cars. I sold everything inspected and with a three month warranty. Needing to keep costs as low as possible, I bought a set of 8 coils for a Ford on eBay for $38 total with free shipping. Didn't even have a brand label on them. No dead ones, no failures, so I continued to use them on numerous Ford vehicles and never had any of them come back with a failure. I'm not recommending the cheap stuff. Just pointing out that you cab buy cheap crap or you can buy expensive crap. Either way it's crap and you will have failures no matter what you buy.

I agree, I used NAPA as much as possible and they were invaluable when I was in a bind. In fact I ran an outreach to the community of Denton Texas called Fix My Ride. A group of volunteer techs came together on a Saturday and spent the day fixing safety problems for people who couldn’t afford the repairs. My NAPA manager had a dedicated guy to deliver to us all day, the manager sold everything at his cost as well as getting the various divisions of Genuine Parts Company to donate to the effort. Usually that amounted to over $600.00 in free parts. Every one from that store are like brothers to me, actually they are hero’s for doing above and beyond anything I could have imagined. There is a whole lot more than just parts cost to take into consideration in business. You sir are spot on in this video.

Always keep your old parts, even if a shop does the work, unless the part has a core charge, tell them you want your old parts. That way you make sure certain parts were changed too. In this case, maybe 2 or 3 coils were bad, that is a lot cheaper than buying 8. Just saying... thanks for the video. Let us know the outcome. I'm willing to bet those coils are the problem. What ever cylinder that plug you showed us wasn't firing or not firing properly.

@crautoguy8384 6 месяцев назад

The problem is when you own a shop and you want to send out a quality running vehicle. I personally as a shop owner recommended replacing all coil packs When one is bad. depending on the person's budget I will do just one if that's the problem but if 1 has failed the rest have the same mileage so we might be doing this again in a couple of weeks wasting the customer's money. But I understand that is expensive to just replace all of them. That is the choice that should be left up to the customer with a fair honest warning.

I'm a trained electronic tech as well as repairing cars since I was a teen, there is no way that antiseize will prevent that plug from firing. If nothing else, the bevel where the plug seals will make adequate contact.and you don't risk galling the threads by applying steel plug threads to aluminum head threads.I also make sure that I thread the plug in by hand until it seats.

Here are the rules for the most part when doing tune ups on Fords, especially the Triton engines. Number 1: change the plugs, Motorcraft only. No Autolites either, they are not good for those engines. Number 2: Change the rubber ignition coil boots. I can't stress this enough. The rubber becomes soft and pliable with age causing spark leak through and misfires. It's possible you could have a coil fail, but it would most likely be a hard misfire that is there all the time. However, bad coils are far less likely to occur than worn plugs or bad coil boots. For the record, those coils you have are junk like you say. I do agree with their statement of "lethal voltage". Coil on plug ignition systems are pushing 100,000 volts, if someone is foolish enough to try removing a coil while it's plugged in and the engine is running, you could be in for a surprise. If someone had an unknown heart condition, 100,000 volts could have dire consequences.

@leestroup222 Год назад

Just in case there's someone here who still doesn't know, voltage ( in cars) usually won't kill you. Amperage will kill you. Over my career, I've taken the occasional 30 kv ignition spark hit, sure it hurts like hell, but I'm typing this with the same fingers many years later. On the other extreme, the 400 volts in a hybrid car battery can and will kill you if you let it. 120 volts from your wall outlet can kill you. Also, good advice on the online car parts issue. I usually tell even my co-workers ordering online is great, as long as only order things you wouldn't need to return. Belts, hoses, quality ignition parts, suspension parts, all good things. Just don't plan to return it, and certainly don't plan to return it for money back. It'll drive you crazy. Good job, Kenny!

When I changed out all 8 coils on my '98 Mercury Grand Marquis, the FoMoCo parts were almost twice as expensive as the next lower cost part. I decided to go with Denso coils knowing Denso is a major supplier to many OEMs, so they should be high quality. When I pulled an original FoMoCo coil and put it next to the Denso coil...they were EXACTLY the same (including numbers), except for the FoMoCo and Denso labeling! I guess we know who makes these FoMoCo parts under contract now. They were about only about 40% of the FoMoCo parts and have worked perfectly for the last 80,000 miles.

The coil pack is very special on them and there are cheap ones to be had but they don't function like factory. The factory coil pack also monitors for pinging by monitoring the plug gap impedance in between ignition pulses. If the coil pack is crap this can effect the ignition timing and in bad cases result in engine damage.

@Shado I agree totally.. I am a retired mechanic of over 30 years..I have caught him many times... if you notice he NEVER fixes anything on camera... only thing he does on camera is flap his arms like a chicken lol

Scotty Kilmer is not even an ASE certified technician or master tech. He worked at a service station doing a lot of common repairs like tune ups, brakes, tires, oil changes, suspension, etc.

When you read lethal voltage I cracked up laughing kind of like moe in that vid when he pumped the brakes in that chevy van

Awesome video thank you

It would have been funny to see a power balancing test on them cheap ignition coils. People don't understand that parts like this can make issues harder to diagnose, because of wrong voltage, low misfire count throwing no codes, slowly destroying the spark plug by under or over preforming, throwing off the computer. Even a small misfire can make you think your transmission is slipping.

02 mountaineer 4.6 put a set of Amazon coils in it. Paid $44.00 for 8 of them and 3 years later sold thr vehicle and not a problem. They are decent ones also

@ZoruaZorroark 27 дней назад

over the many years of car maintenance, one thing has been made clear to me, the cheapest part will always be oem. when it comes to aftermarket, it can be a minefield

I bought some front springs for my Freelander 1 and managed to put them on as I am getting old and my strength is not what it used to be and for the past three week every time I turned a corn I got a scraping sound so I got the son in law round and he took them off and looked at them and the paint was worn of the springs he looked at my old ones and said the new ones were too long and too wide and were catching on the inner wing that is the last time I buy of the internet so i know how you feel cheap Chinese are no good, thanks for the video

YES! 100%! My local parts store, bends over backwards for me, very helpful people, I always buy from them. Unless they cant get it.

@richardsantmier4164 Год назад

My son bought a used Ford Explorer Sport Trac with an intermittent misfire. Coil checked ok, plugs were AC Delco, correct gap and part #, so I replaced the plug wires. No change. I bought a set of Motorcraft plugs, after installation misfire gone. Even though the plugs were rated for the engine, something was amiss with them. (Pun intended )

@lloydmarche7263 Год назад

I buy the premium parts from the local auto parts store or dealership. I have been burned by web site parts a few times.

@dalekundtz760 Год назад

If one gets burned, add that to the comments so others don't get burned. I have been lucky when buying on line parts when fixing my van. I plan most of my repairs and buy on line ahead of time.

Just for the info. Take a good (FLUKE) multimeter, open a can of anti-seize and stick the probes in on the 20 Meg ohm setting - it will read infinity ... it is non conductive. Put the spark plug in the engine, and tighten it down to the torque specs. Now measure from the spark plug base to the engine. Good solid connection. You have less than 1/10,000th of clearance max. It now conducts! Then you put 60,000 volts across it. It will not hurt it. We had industrial furnaces, which were 600 degrees F on the outside, and 3,000 inside. No never-seize? Unheard of. Watched for 45 years as the furnaces ran full spark 24-7, not just a pulse - full time spark. When the ends burnt off, you change them. We used the silver anti-seize. 300-degree higher rating that the gold

I remember coming home with parts for a tune-up on my first car. I'd gone to the local discount auto parts store where they only sold junk. Even though it was MY car, my father would NOT permit me to install the junk I'd bought. He convinced me to return it and then I went to the Ford dealership and paid a LOT more for eight plugs and wires, but the car ran better than before and I never regretted it. All these years later, after seeing engine after engine with crummy aftermarket parts, I've told this story COUNTLESS times because I have not used aftermarket parts since.

@rogerfox2817 Год назад

Absolutely true I use my parts store for about everything yep I at tines have to save for it but if it's wrong or doesn't work they usually make it right with no questions . Yes they know me when I walk in and always helpful. Yes I've done things for them too. Like change a headlight or battery taillight when they are short handed and don't have the time to help their customer I personally have no problem with it

@richardtaylor6604 Год назад

Never had a problem with anti seize on spark plugs. I always try to use OEM ignition parts when possible. I have found the using cross reference plugs between brands often leads to drivability issues. Great video.

@RCCustoms73 8 месяцев назад

I agree brother! Keep the local stores in business!

@haroldshuler3979 Год назад

Well I bought a set of performance wires for a good price , nice looking , for my 06 Sierra 5.3 and installed them and from the start I had misses . Waited till dark cranked it up and it looked like a fireworks show !! Learned my lesson on this one . Put AC back on ! I’m going to keep the wire set to remind me , if you know what I mean ..

@dave1135 Год назад

I use rockauto alot, as i have older vehicles. But i always make sure to get name brand like moog, raybestos, standard, ect. A lot of these parts are new old stock, and by buying the name brand, i know im getting decent quality, as these i used in the service shops i worked in so i know what brands had consistent quality

@keithwiebe1787 Год назад

Ordered a Moog ball joint dirt cheap (closeout) from Rockauto and it was missing the boot. They sent another one but took a week.

Kenny I used the detroit axle parts up here in michigan, great parts got 3 or 4 hub bearings for them so far no issues

@FreeSpeechisMyRight10 Год назад

Keep your fingers crossed. I used to work for them, and the quality of their parts is questionable at best.

Having learned electronics engineering from a Navy textbook. One of the first pages enlightened us that under perfect conditions, 5 volts is sufficient to stop the human heart. So "Lethal voltage" is a pretty low bar to satisfy.

Rule #1 with aftermarket parts-NO DORMAN ELECTRICAL PARTS WHATSOEVER. Most people would be surprised how inexpensive Motorcraft parts are through World Pac, Carquest, Advance, and Amazon.

@JLange642 Год назад

"Provided the customer wants me to do that because his bill is gonna be getting expensive". Well, how much has he wasted by taking to the other shop and then bringing it to you, plus SOMEONE put those suspect parts in it? How much did all that cost? If it needs to be done to correct the issue, AND prevent FUTURE issues, they would be smart allowing you to do it. Some parts don't really matter-others there are night and day differences in them. Plus the warranty issues, as you mentioned. You have to find the balance of where to take the chance and where not to. Great video Kenny!

@georgehuffert1800 5 месяцев назад

I do work on ATVs mostly Polaris if you don't put some dialectic grease around the spark plug wire water can sit down around the plug and make it run bad and as far as cheap parts go a $20 cdi may only last about a hour but even a used Polaris factory one costing way more will fix the problem same gose for aftermarket carburetor a replacement mikuni is $600 when a Chinese carburetor is $40 my 98 425 magnum wouldn't run right with one on it rebuilt my mikuni for $45 came with very few parts but solved problems some things you can't cut corners with especially electric parts.

@jeremyrock9305 Год назад

I try to use local auto parts stores the only problem is alot of them have people that don’t have a clue of what you’re talking about then they give an attitude then you have to order the parts anyway. I miss the days when they had knowledgeable employees and stuff in stock ! Alot of companies following Walmart low inventory way of business
