I bought my 04 f150 with 33k miles in 09.......I have never changed anything out until recently. I'm at 160k and iv finally done plugs (they all broke 😔) , coils, fuel injectors, evap valve, o2 sensors, fuel filter... all this year... even tho iv been horrible with the maintenance....my 04 f150 still runs and purrs like a champ lol..... anyway, this channel has come in handy!!!!! Thanks guys, this channel has been a life saver!

@user-kh2bi8xd9k 2 месяца назад

Good advice with not overly tightening!! Same with everything and OIL FILTERS .. when heat is introduced parts or just metals period will expand

Once again thank you guys. I wish these videos and BlueDriver were available around 20 years ago lol. Would of saved me lots of time, money and headaches. Keep the videos coming, you guys are awesome man !!

@tahmoresgholamipour4981 3 года назад

I love the way your videos have highly educational training in a professional manner I really believe vocational instructors can use your videos for training for their automotive students.

@frshswagg1883 3 месяца назад

You guys are awesome, first vid on how to replace. 😁👌🏼

@dustinmanriquez2452 Год назад

They said "if it sticks closed, the engine will never heat up all the way." But that only happens if its stuck open.

@harrygrimley4352 2 года назад

Very simple and very nicely done. Thanks

@yo_boi7746 3 года назад

Thx for instructions 🤙

@FatJebusGaming Год назад

So if his worked why did you guys change it? You guys diagnosed his overheating wrong or?

@bigwaves2824 Год назад

good video im sure im not only one that was trying to install with gasket on wondering why it wont fit lol 😀😀

@vickyabney542 Год назад

Also make sure the bottom hoses good that could coses an vehicle to overheat

@donswanick237 2 года назад

Fantastic 👍🏻 Please keep making videos this was very helpful.

Good explanation this video helped me a lot thank u guys

@jcrpictures4405 3 года назад

How long did it run during the finish? Enough to get up to temp. Or just long enough to circ?

@TheGiuggio 3 года назад

Thank you so much. I replaced my valve, but unfortunately the error p0128 went back on, do you know what I might have done wrong? Thank you guys!

@LemurMonitors 3 года назад

This could be caused by anything that causes the engine to warm up slowly (or ECM to think it is anyways) - you've probably already done it, but double check your coolant level and maybe bleed it again for air. If that doesn't do it try looking at your coolant temp sensors if you have a scanner, see if they seem realistic compared to your ambient temperature

@UserUser14880 3 года назад

@@LemurMonitors Do u have any videos on the P0119? I already chamged my Coolant Temp Sensor. The light stayed off for 1 week. Now its back on. Ive also filled coolant level above full line. So its def not low. Any idea whats next???

@TonicofSonic 2 года назад

3/8 inner diameter tube? Not sure why people have such a hard time saying the proper diameter

@S0NO2896 2 года назад

When I did the cycle process it seems like none of the coolant cycled out of the can is a lot suppose to cycle or only a little bit

@micaelamorales9814 Год назад

My thermostat was completely rusted ? What would be the cause for that. Also can an engine run for years with a shot thermostat? No giving signals or showing overheating? My mechanic says it's possible but I think the engine would overheat 😊

@yellowsnow65 2 года назад

How much coolant did you guys drain out? I don’t really want to drain more than I need to

@dynocompe 2 года назад

you are just draining enough so the upper hose will be empty. If you dont drain enough, the worst that will happen is you will have some coolant left in that hose when you remove it

@tallen5898 10 месяцев назад

My f150 5.4 3v temp gave not working and showing code p0119 so I changed it the temp gage still not working but truck seems better what could cause the gage not to work

@S0NO2896 2 года назад

When I did the cycle process it seems like none of the coolant cycled through the system any reason it did that

Exelente

YALL DID NOT TELL ME HOW MUCH COOLANT I HAD TO DRAIN, YOU DRAINED YOURS FOR LIKE 5 SECONDS

@elserrano1969 Год назад

Exelent ! And Thank you !

@snowblind5151 2 года назад

I opened trhat plug about 4 turns and nothing came out. The reservoir is a little bit low a ,theres no heat and its not overheating.

@oahukapu808 9 месяцев назад

If the thermastat was good what was causing overheating?

@christopherwalking22 3 года назад

I’m not one to really comment on anyone’s channel but in this case I’m curious so I’m gonna ask. Is there a slight crack on the housing right side on the bottom? Just wondering not being a ass honestly I give you 💯 respect for doing videos it’s not easy if you want it perfect.

@LemurMonitors 3 года назад

Haha good eye - it looks like the bolt on that side was poorly drilled out by some previous owner

@siltrim8974 3 года назад

The thermostat i bought had a gasket that wanted to go around the new one, but aint no way in hell with the already tight fit, the old seal doesnt look cracked, would it be fine to re use?

@chancemccormack5824 3 года назад

I’m changing the upper and lower rad hoses, the thermostat, and replacing the fluid. All coolant is out of the system. What is the best way to add coolant back into the system? Should I pour some coolant in to the thermostat hole? Or should I just add it all directly into the reservoir? Also, a video on changing the lower rad hose would be beneficial, it was a pain in the butt to get to the bottom hose. I had to remove the power steering pump. Maybe there is a better way you could show us. Thanks.

@aaronblondin4486 3 года назад

I'm in the same pickle I'm thinking of just cranking the motor a little to start to pump it through

@UserUser14880 Год назад

What about p0119 code?

@s.g.4184 3 года назад

Thanks! Are you supposed to leave the rag around the thermostat housing? 😀

@LemurMonitors 3 года назад

Depends on how much faith you have in your repair 😉

@jcrpictures4405 3 года назад

How crucial is it to torque those 10 mils? That’s the one tool I don’t have

@LemurMonitors 3 года назад

Your discretion really - most people probably won't bother, but one thing you can't really see in the video is that one of the two was drilled out before after twisting off so be careful

@jcrpictures4405 3 года назад

@@LemurMonitors you talking from over tightening ? Or from being over torqued before and snapping when trying to loosen ?
