Ford Ranger Power Steering Pump FAILURE Turned Into A Full Family Repair 

Goes to show you don't always need big or flashy content. I'm perfectly happy watching a standard repair on an everyday car. You're the one who brings the entertainment. Keep the videos coming.

Charlotte was 100% the star of this video.

Charlotte had me rolling - as a dad of a 17 yr old daughter - I remember the questions stage - enjoy it

What a wonderful surprise , welcome back Elliot , you have been missed! ps your Daughter is adorable

Charlotte is adorable! I'm glad she's getting to learn with her dad, it's definitely one of my favorite memories from when I was a kid

I think we all missed you dearly! So welcome back Elliott!

Now THAT is what I call patience! If I tried to help my Dad do anything at that age, he would have sent me away with some probably harsh words. But you and your Uncle not only didn't do that, you added her into the "loop" in helping. Nicely done!! Don't get me wrong, my Dad was a Master Plumber...and what he was dealing with at a Veterans Hospital...well it's best I wasn't there, if you know what I mean. On to the next video!! The Motary Notary is back with all new Cat shirts!!

Glad to see this unfamiliar new RU-vid channel on the scene! Hope he does well.

Good to see you back Elliot

Your daughter stole my heart, maybe a year or so ago. You’re a very fortunate man, regardless of what you might think. Your Uncle is so Cool, and your daughter is beyond precious!

...and a Star is Born. Expect to see her own Channel Soon. Chip off the 'Ol Block

Elliott is back‼️ Yesss👍

I was just wondering what happened to you, glad you are back at making videos again. BTW I love watching simple videos like this. Not everything has to be a 2-hour thrash to restore a car or else you lose the shop. Simple "This broke so let's fix it!" 20-30 minute videos are my RU-vid bread and butter.

Welcome back Elliot!

Welcome back Mister Motory Notary! Also Charlotte is adorable, Uncle Glenn as well.

Welcome back, Elliott! And a special welcome to “mechanic-in-training” little Charlotte, who was right in there helping you and Uncle Glen…gloves and all…. She’s learning from the best! Loved this video and always enjoy seeing how well you guys problem solve!

I loved the convo with Charlotte about working on cars... "yes they drink a lot when they work on cars" that was great 😂😂

So adorable, Elliot. Your daughter is wonderful too. Welcome back man, we missed ya!

I love these videos! This reminds me of being Charlotte's age, with my dad wrenching on our 1988 Chevy Nova Hatchback and wanting to do it myself when I was older. Thanks for the enjoyable video and happy memories, Elliott!

SOOOO happy to see the Motary Notary...and the lovely Charlotte!!! Keep 'em coming!

Always great when you post.

I miss my old Ranger

This is the EA video we all wanted!

I see Charlotte isn't falling in line with the channel precedent for all cat shirts all the time lol. Good to see you back!

Welcome back Elliott!! You need more videos....

Glad your back really enjoyed your videos….

My son used to watch me attempting to work on my cars, asking loads of questions, so this was a wee trip down memory lane, and it’s good to give them the answers because that can keep them interested, you might have an apprentice on your hands sometime soon 😂

Gotta love working with the kids. You get half as much done in twice the time.

Welcome back Mr Motary Notary!!! I hope that you are doing well, I've missed you!!! I always enjoy your videos & hope that you will start making videos regularly!!! 👍👍🙂

Always enjoy your channel. Glad to see you back, even if it is just sporadically.

I love your Uncle's "Step number Next". I am probably going to end up adding that to my lingo. Sometime the best content a creator can make is the simple stuff where they can just be on camera. I enjoy watching you and your uncle wrenching together and involving your daughter is great to see. Every petrol head will enjoy some wholesome family wrenching.

Awww, Charlotte adds tons to your video.

Ive had 2 ford rangers over the years their great trucks And very very reliable

Welcome back! Rallycross in a Ranger has to be a wild ride. Always good to see Uncle Glen!

Where is your daughter while you were on the test drive?? Do we have to call cps?? So good to see you back on a video!!! Your daughter really made this even better!!

Glad you are back

Love the mechanical episodes! That Ford pump was used in SOOOO many Fords, I have replaced a few, that tool is a pain. They are known to howl and fail, but at least they are very cheap. However, (avid Ford mechanic) the power steering system uses standard ATF, Dextron 3. Universal power steering fluid will cause it to fail prematurely or make noise. Love the content, keep it coming!

Nice to see ya back man!

Love the intergenerational teamwork you've got going on! Keep it up!

Good to have you back, I've missed your videos! Charlotte is hilarious and such a doll.

He's back!!

What a sweet pea Charlotte is🤩😊 and its worthwhile to wait for complete Volvo V70R

It is great to see you back.

Great to see you back 👍

Charlotte stole the show, what a sweet little Elliot.

Glad to see you back, where have you been hiding? Your daughter is adorable, enjoy your time with her, she'll be grown up and gone before you can blink an eye!

The kid, the Volvo, the uncle. A triple header. Welcome back.

Great video! Your uncle and daughter made this a very enjoyable production. Keep up the great work. You have a lot of fans that believe in you!

Great to have your videos back!

Dude. Good to have you back. We are here for you.

Great to see a new video! I recently did a power steering pump on my Corvette. What a PITA! First time using a pulley puller too. After a some frustration (and sweat) I figured it out. Looking forward to more videos with your crew!

I can't wait for Charlotte's Car Channel.

Yeah! He's back! What a lovely video to come back with. Love the vibe all through this video! Welcome back Elliott!

Charlotte is a sweetie pie. Glad you have a new video.

Great to see more content from you Elliot. Refreshing to have someone explain why you can only make as many videos as you can. Keep ‘‘em coming ! I’ve got other mates in Australia that watch you too!

Charlotte is just like my Daughter, non stop questions when Dad is working on a car.

Great to see another video & project with such good mood 🙂👍

Welcome back! Looking forward to the next videos!

You have a lovely daughter, Elliott! Years from now she will watch this video and understand more of what flew over her head but I am sure she will fondly remember the times she shared with you and Uncle Glen. Great video content and we are all glad to see you uploading!

Charlotte def made the video. Great to see content again. Hope the second half of the year smooths out for you!

This makes me nostalgic for my 1995 ford ranger

Glad you’re back.

3 months with no content is a long time. What happened? Glad to see you back. You daughter is a charmer.

Awesome video dude! Missed watching your channel! Keep em coming!

Welcome back!

Your daughter is awesome, i laughed a lot to her questions and comments. And wonderful from you at you take her with you to do car things. Also hi for your uncle because hi is a some character. Sorry for my english if everything aren't correct.

A length of hose with one end connected to the fitting and a rag wrapped around the loose end in pan would have saved the cleanup. You can also flush by jacking the front end up and with key "on" engine "off" turn the steering wheel/wheels back and forth from stop to stop so the motion of the rack and pinion unit will act as pump and the fluid will flow, great for bleeding the air out because you are pulling fluid from the reservoir instead of using the pump to push and fluid and mix air with it. just make sure the reservoir is kept full, No whines, No drips, No errors. Your little helper was a delight. Thank You ...

The Ranger calls for Mercon V ATF fluid for the power steering fluid in the manual as most Fords of this era do. I'm not sure what the difference is with the power steering fluid you guys put in, but I think the ATF might be a bit thicker. That's what I put in my 2001 Mazda B3000 when I did the steering rack, which is really just a Ranger with a Mazda badge so it's the same truck.

When I was your daughter's age I shadowed my grandfather around his garage. My favorite thing to do was find a flat-blade screwdriver and remove license plates and pry off hub caps.

He’s back!!!

Yes Elliot, riddle us that! Great cat shirt! Greetings from the Netherlands

Welcome Back!

Danger Ranger racing should be an upcoming event, send your uncle down to Florida to meet Cleeter, also really glad to see you back, Rj in Oz

Welcome Back

Great video!

I haven’t seen your content in a while! Great to see you again! Hopefully I’ll get to see more of the Wichita Mafia in my feed.

Power steering Juice 😊. Great video

Next video : these Ford Ranger headlights need some TLC. A pit stop at O’Reilly’s and boom, Charlotte can even help out!

attempting this VERY thing on my son's vehicle this weekend. thx!

Glad to see you making another video Elliott! But.... 8:10 "These things just go bad, they never go bad at a convenient time, or when you're not driving" I have a 2003 Ford Focus that has been sitting for a while, and I went to move it the other day. Prior to that, the car ran just fine (all things considered). Then out of nowhere, I had no power steering. So I open the hood, and there is power steering fluid all over the rear, and left side of my engine bay. I still need to figure out what let loose. Finally, sending some Happy First Birthday wishes! Cheers!

I'd love to see the volvo again!

Brilliant another video 😊😊

Never say easy till the job is finished you're only one snapped bolt away from a 2 day job 😂

If only 2 people go racing, just remember the famous quote, "if you aint first, your last"

Nice to see Elliott again. I enjoy the content over seeing expensive cars that no one can work on or afford. How many miles on the Ranger?

-As to Ford Transmissions, I had a'97 Aerostar that when you drove it at high speed on the interstate, when you exited, it would "bang" shift. All you had to do was turn the car off and then start it back up, and it was fine again. I was told the F-4EAT transmission, also used on Nissan Pathfinders and Subaru Outbacks as well, all had this issue when a certain sensor in the engine went bad. He recommended rebuilding the thing; The car ran fine and was getting old, so I never did it. The Aerostar looked GREAT but had 165,000 miles. A contractor who worked on my house wanted it BAD, and I finally called him up one day in 2020 and offered it to him for $1000. He was at my house one hour later with a bank check! I bought the former Avis rental car in 2003 from a used car lot in Orlando for $3000 with 80,000 miles, so I guess I got my money's worth out of that van. About 6 months ago he showed up at my house; The van was almost unrecognizable, it was so beat up. So much for all those hours I spent waxing it to keep it looking presentable~

My wife knows cars really well for the average 50-something woman, and it's from hanging out in the garage with her dad! Charlotte is off to a good start!

I did the pro quipped pump conversion on my 1997. Wrestled too many of these to consider it anymore. Saginaw unit is whisper quiet in comparison. If it ever needs to be swapped again it's way easier

"Dad, why are you taking a video of a car?" Some of us have been wondering that about Elliott for a while now...

Fun video. Charlotte: "Do car doctors drink?" 😄

You seemed happier in this video so hopefully life is starting to get ironed out for you

Thanks!

You could get the paint matched as long as you have a chip the sample from and get it done fairly cheap actually
