Brian, don’t let the negativity commenters get to you. You are obviously successful, in business, and YT with nearly 3/4 of a million subscribers. I, for one, am THANKFUL for your channel. I own a 2014 F-150 with the 5.0, with 158,000 miles in it. Use it for work in the oil fields of NE Wyoming. After seeing your other video regarding this issue from 6 months ago, I took my truck to my trusted drivetrain service center and asked them to replace the lines in question and do a trans fluid & filter change. I was promptly told, the “lines look great, why?” and “I wouldn’t stress over it”. I asked him to do it anyway, to which I was given the response…”your money”. That afternoon, I received a call from the owner of said drivetrain shop, apologizing to me. It would seem, that as the tech was removing the aforementioned lines, the thing snapped off in his hand in nearly the same spot, as was in your earlier video. Tech claimed “he barely touched it”. I for one am GRATEFUL to you, sir. Ignore the trolls. You saved me thousands of $, and if you were here in person, I’d shake your hand!

Outstanding vid, Brian. Thanks for caring about us on a personal level! Please keep these helpful videos coming!

@davea2288 Год назад

Ford has no excuse for this. The lines should be of sufficient wall thickness or made from stainless steel with epoxy covering. That would add very little to the overall cost of the vehicle and would help to prevent another customer going to the foreign owned truck makers. Using aluminum fittings in settings where salt brine is laid, which is so common anymore, is a recipe for disaster. Excellent and sobering wisdom from Brian, once again.

@jda72 Год назад

Right on ,I had a similar problem on my 05 silverado but it was the fuel line from the tank to the engine very dangerous,also a brake line rusted out and could have caused an accident ,they could use better materials but all they are concerned with is getting it past the warranty date.

@markh3478 Год назад

I agree 100%. Have seen design engineers specify a robust material that gets downgraded going to production resulting in field failures. There is likely a grade and temper of aluminum alloy that would be acceptable for this application like 5052 with H32 conditioning . Why Ford allowed the neck diameter just below the Q.D. junction to be machined down a few millimeters must have been to acomodate the collar crimper head . Otherwise a rookie mistake and Ford does not make many of those.

@greenbus9 Год назад

Yup- I fixed mine after I watched your other video. I cut out the quick connects and coupled the lines with 300- bar rated hydraulic hose and constant torque hose clamps. My hard lines look pretty good yet and my couplers were in fair shape, but my 2014 has 200K now so THANK YOU for ALL of your videos! Now, to fix that leaky vacuum pump...

@acemobile9806 Год назад

Something else I've always done on any Ford with that style quick disconnect in anything except a vertical application (won't make any difference for vertical lines) is to turn the opening of the plastic clip down towards the ground. That allows any fluid splashed up into the fitting to drain & may reduce the speed of the lines corroding. If your lines are super weak, you'll also find out quickly by turning that plastic clip. The fitting will likely break if it's corroded with any movement or pressure. Keep 'em coming Brian, I been pointing the techs at the big regional U-Haul shops your way.

@kylerayk Год назад

@spwjones4797 Год назад

Thank you so much, excellent information. I have a 2013 Eco boost with 31K on it so I sprayed the tubing and all metal parts with Blaster surface shield to protect the tubing from corrosion, I can see the start of corrosion, glad to catch this early. Keep up the good work it really helps prevent expensive problems. By the way the pcv valve oil separator works well keeping the 2013 Eco Boost intake valves clean, preventing another costly problem. Thanks again for your hard work.

@gordie4059 Год назад

Yep, I just saved a customer his transmission couple months back for this very reason.

The E-250 had chunks of rust falling off of the rear end. My other comment is, I had the heater hose quick disconnect on an 06 E-250 break off while driving and I didn't know until the cluster lit up. two weeks later a friend had the same thing happened to his F-250. Those quick disconnects where plastic that had rotted.

Your comment on how the pressure is lower as the fluid level drops is spot on. A line that completely disconnects can often have little damage in the transmission as long as the engine is turned off once the transmission looses engagement. It's the slow leaks that kill transmissions. Low pressure, fluctuating pressure and lubrication failures as the level gets lower and lower.
