Don't mean to step on that dudes toes,... But,man is that ever some sloppy work. Unsafe as well. Good thing you made it right brother. At least your sister doesn't have to breathe in the gas fumes anymore. 👍✌️
Damn! How do you forget the O ring?! You’d think he’d have seen there was one on the old pump. Smoke out the tailpipe means the fuel pump is bad. Geez!
I had my local NAPA guys tell me that my 3.0 V6 will keep running long after the rest of the vehicle rusts out around it. Now if I could just get the AC fixed on it.
Thanks for this video, Jay! I was curious how to, but never really tried to, replace a fuel pump. Most of what I have are Ford trucks, so this was excellent for me and I plan to save it for sure! This leak plus a few cigarettes and the whole thing could have gone BOOM! Happy Memorial Day to you and your family!
On the bright side....The Knucklehead who installed that pump wasn't smoking when he did it.....Had a 2002 Escape XLS 4x4 with V6....Ran good...very fast.....but I could never get a comfortable driving position....Steering column seemed too short....Had to sit close to wheel, and legs felt cramped....Kept for two winters, and sold...
Never ceases to amaze me what people won't do🤣😂🤣😜 Great video jay!! Don't recall ever seeing an escape with that many miles! WOW! Happy memorial day to you and your family. 🇺🇸
Who doesn't love the smell of 93 octane cruising down the road?.....Oh, is it just me? OK. (Just kidding) That was a fairly decent quick fix. Too bad all gas tanks aren't that easy to access.
As someone with empathic and psychic abilities, I often pick up on subtle cues most people miss. Deep down, you don't like your sister's ex-boyfriend, do you?
I still remember my first time to help someone put in a new fuel pump and tank. The pump was to tall, the rings were bent and had to buy a new set, the wiring set up was wrong and had to buy a different wiringand the new straps didn't hold the tank so we had to use a ratchet strap to hold it. Close to seven hundred dollars later the truck ran for a few months and needed another new fuel pump. We just junked it and got the money back in parts.
I thought you were driving the green ranger. That previous installation was amazingly inept, though. I'm not even close to being a licensed mechanic and I wouldn't do that.
I’m surprised he didn’t hook a line backwards or rewire the fuel pump or do something Magical performance mod to it😂😂 some people shouldn’t try to play “mekanik” especially if they don’t know what there doing lol but at least you fixed his screw up Jay, keep up the good work!
@That V8 Life Sorry bud, must be an okie thang, u no how da south is partner, we can’t even rite a sentance carrectly butt it’s ok we don’t need to spell or rite to fix a jalopy carectly,
He probably put in the cheapest POS fuel pump he could buy on Amazon. It would be wise to put in a good unit if you plan on keeping the vehicle ( IMHO).
My latest discovery of previous owner/mechanic f**kery was a straight piped exhaust on an 03 tracker, NOW wait you say, thats not terrible and sure, true it was fine-functional enough just noisy but so what. Well, the bend that should have went over the axle tube went over the top of the diff, and at about 1.5 inches of bump in the suspension the exhaust pipe acted as a bump stop between the diff and a frame crossmember. Horrible Horrible ride, I don't recommend using your exhaust as a bump stop.
This is why I do the job correctly. If my girlfriend breaks up with me, I don't want my stupidity broadcasted to the world. I can at least put in an O-Ring.
Hi I have a question, I have an 2016 Ford escape n mine is idling hard n when I turn the a. C. off it idles a little better but not much do you know what it could be.. thank you
Nothing worse than someone working on something when then don't know what they are doing makes the next guy to work on it annoyed an I liked that as stupid as box of rocks lol
I would love to go down south one day and work in a small shop. Seems so relaxing to just be able to hop in your car go do stuff around town, come back and work on a vehicle you are comfortable with. Sort of seems like the life even if the pay isnt extremely high
Yup some people shouldn't be anywhere near a vehicle and her Ex is one of them. She's lucky to have a good brother looking out for her and protecting her from Dumb ASS 'S 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I had a 08 escape v6 AWD. Loved it but it was rusted out at the shock towers. I had planned to fix it but it got totaled by a deer. It was still drivable I drove it for almost 2 weeks before the insurance company came and got it. I tried to find another one but either was more then I could afford or it was rusted out. Ended up getting a 10 focus to replace it. I don't have the focus no more gave it to my daughter and son-in-law. I now drive a POS 01 Silverado that I got for free after I hit the deer with the escape.
I would like to know if you have any more classic cars in stock at your yard ? Any and every make and models Datsun , Toyota , fords Chevy dodge everything. Love your video!
