2023 F150 Review From a Working Man's Perspective
We had to rent this 2023 F-150 XLT Sport for a week. I thought it would be interesting for maybe about 5 people out there if I talked for a while about why this truck is so ridiculous and no respectable working person should be seen in one.

Running an engine with the thermostat removed -- What happens?

There has always been much debate on internet forums about removing thermostats.... what effect does it have on real world cooling?

    I agree. To eye it looks too narrow, the rails too low and no means of tilt or spin to compensate for unlevel ground or misalignment to the flywheel axis. You make me want to design something that could be fabricated locally. Thanks, WW.

  • @marksmith9295
    @marksmith9295 Před 3 dny

    Hi there. A couple of suggestions for you. Pretty sure you have the coil leads reversed. The top cylinder should be fired from the coil on right side of armature plate. The condensers may be bad and i suggest removing points to give a good cleaning and polishing. Also, there should be a low speed knob that needs to be 1/2 to 3/4 open from closed position. It should be the knob on side of carb under the high speed knob. I will be working on mine soon hence the reason for checking out your video. Good work in any case:)

    • @wrenchwranglers
      @wrenchwranglers Před 3 dny

      It’s been a while since I shot this but I do remember I tried both ways since I did not know the correct orientation. It did not fire at all in the reversed configuration. One of these days I going to give this another go and I will definitely reexamine that. I am going to need to find a rebuild kit or at the bare minimum some piston rings I think, but have not been able to find new parts for one yet.

    • @marksmith9295
      @marksmith9295 Před 3 dny

      So many things to check for sure. It might be the bottom cylinder rings are just stuck so perhaps soaking in Seafoam or ATF/Acetone mix would help and bring compression back. Good luck in any case:)

    Engines are designed you know the bearings rings etc to work and live longest at a desired temp removing the thermostat lowers that considerably in most cases not only that in today's cars the computer uses sensors for everything one of them is the temp sensor if it never gets up to temp then the computer thinks it's a cold start constantly which in turn never goes into what's called closed loop and the air fuel mixture in not closed loop because it thinks it's in a cold start constantly is super one sided way more fuel than air. Thus using more fuel could be a lot more fuel even in some cases in fact any time you have a check engine light on your fuel mileage is suffering closed loop is where the computer is taking all the inputs from all the sensors and supplying the engine with the least amount of fuel possible at any given time and keep the engine alive too lean conditions are detrimental more. So usually than a rich condition rich too much fuel lean too much air

  • @BentonL
    @BentonL Před 18 dny

    I used to have your logic, but experience has shown me there is more to it than just moving coolant. 1. The coolant needs to stay in the radiator long enough to be able to exchange the heat. I have toyed around with various size restrictors till I found the happy balance. Problems usually show themselves under specific conditions. 2. When cold the thermostat creates a vacuum allowing the system to recover the coolant that was expanded in to the tank. 3. Not all cooling systems work the same way. European cars will overheat without one. They have a dual stage set up. In the end I realized this only works in some situations in others it creates problems. Usually its just best to remove the spring and put the assembly back cuz that's about the right flow for the max cooling. 30 years of living with broken sht. Edit. The manifold should be a certain temp for proper fuel atomization.

    You’re missing what happens to the dynamic pressures in the block. We did plenty of tests back in the day with pressure gauges all over the block and heads. As the engine revs up, the dynamic pressure increases which increases the actual boiling temperature and also helps prevent cavitation.

    • @wrenchwranglers
      @wrenchwranglers Před 19 dny

      @@Alaska_Engineer yes, there are many factors I’m skipping in favor of brevity in this case. This demonstration was solely to show the relationship between flow rate and heat transfer, because at the base level there are a lot of people who incorrectly think that coolant with a higher ‘dwell’ time in the block will pick up more heat. I figured the simpler the demonstration the easier it would be to grasp quickly.
