Your welcome!

It had a really bad rod knock!

@@corradoferrari6191 Thanks! Hopefully it was helpful to you!

@@csautomotive12 actually it helped me a lot. I’m doing one today first time i work on this truck I usually work on fords gave me a good idea of what to do.

@@corradoferrari6191 Good luck to you! Let me know if you have any questions.

Get some soapy water in a spray bottle. And spray where you can hear the hissing noise. This should help you see what’s leaking.

Your welcome. You can’t change the bulbs. It’s all built into the cluster.

@@neilpugmire6896 Thanks!

I have not ran into a problem like that.

Sound like you have a leak in your master cylinder. It could have made the seal go bad in the booster as well due to brake fluid leaking in it.

I got the torque spec straight off Mitchell. These have issues with the threads pulling on the aluminum blocks on the earlier models. If that happens, just get an insert and tap. Don’t waste the money on buying the kit they make. Just go to your local parts store and they should have a tap and insert that will fit.

@@jesusislord7971 Yes!

Are you asking on the tensioner?

No bro I get it now it was a tensioner

@@KayCutta225 Ok cool! If you have any other questions I would love to help!

I have never done one on the 5.7. I have done a lot of 3.6. I could look up what it calls for next week. Remind me next week and I will get back to you.

I hope it’s helpful! Let me know if you have any questions as you go along! Your welcome.

@@Mottzilla I’m glad it was of help!

Yeah you could have a wiring problem.

I’m glad it was helpful!!

That’s great you got that many miles out of it. Most people don’t get that many miles sounds like you maintain your stuff really good! Let me know if you have any other questions.

I see! Yeah if you have a lift I would say drop it out the bottom! There’s so much more room to hock everything back up before you drop it back down.

@@MikeSmith-dz5yq I have always just dropped them out the bottom! I don’t have a video of going back down. You just drop it back down. I have never taken it out of the top. They are so tight to come out the top. Are you going to try and take it out of the top? If so I would be interested to see how it goes!

@@lanifoster3248 No. I never do.

Did you get it figured out? I would make sure everything is hock up that you took apart. Also make sure you got two clicks from your safety fuse I have thought I have gotten them clicked in all the way and I really haven’t!

@@csautomotive12you are awesome. I should have push down orange shit. I just did push forward and close the hook. After closing the hook also it needs to be push down. Now everything is ok. THANK YOU.

@@yunussirinca I’m glad you got it figured out! Yeah I always say 2 click and you got it.

You don’t need to do anything with the oil pump!

Might want to post stud size of the through stud on timing chain cover is 9/16 and mention no rtx on gasket took me alot of research but got it

Rtv

Thanks for the comments and support! Glad you got it fixed!

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thnx it turned out that one of the wires had just called it Quits and it was dangling outside of the connector that hooks to the Pump

@@frankjdm4636 I’m glad you got it fixed!

@@Mike-qo4kp Yeha you have to pull the motor due to the fact is has two chains!

Yeah I put it on before I starter to record. Just look at the gasket most of the time they have wording on them to say what side goes up.

Thanks! I’m glad you found it helpful!

Thanks! Good luck to you! Let me know how it goes and if you have any questions!

If it’s AWD it calls for 23 hours for a long block swap. So it depends what the labor rate is in your area. Hope that helps.

Did you get it figured out?

Same here bro mine happens when I just came out from a speed bump

Yeah just take it to your local machine shop!

I’m glad it was helpful! Thanks for the support!

@@csautomotive12 No problem I definitely liked and subscribed to hopefully help your channel out :)

Thanks! I appreciate the support! How did your project go?

It was pretty smooth. The rear cat was a bit of a pain but did what you said and not bad. Car is up and running at my shop. Keep up the great content bro and god bless you 🙏🏼

@@nestorlopez6293 I’m glad to hear it went good! Thanks for the support! Same goes to you!

Did you take the motor mount out?

People are telling me theres to different sizes. So you might need to see what head bolts you have.

Don’t take the transmission out! Find a shop with a welder and have them weld a nut to them and you can get them out!

@@csautomotive12 i have yet to be actually up under it yet to see what kind of access there is for that or how much of the bolt is actually exposed. From what ive seen on a picture it looks like none of the bolt is exposed. Gonna dig deeper into it tomorrow. Hopefully its easy enough to get out myself.

@@csautomotive12 trans has to be replaced. The aft trans mount, the torque mount. 3 out of the 4 bolts that go into the block broke the block at the holes, literally exploded the blocks mount holes. and the other remaining bolt is sheared off into the block. The only fix is a trans swap. Glad i found your video looks like im definitely doing this sooner than later.

@@csautomotive12 is there any specific seals, gaskets or other consumable materials i should get when doing this? Gonna buy a reman trans in the next few weeks.

@@nicholasprice88 Good luck to you let me know if you have any more questions.

I would think so! But you might want to look at the torque specs just to make sure they didn’t change it on the tC.

@@csautomotive12 thank you!!

Thanks! I appreciate the support!

Where are you trying to take the off at?

@csautomotive12 nevermind I got em off it was just a pain in the ass.

@@sageschreyer400 Yeah they suck!

Great information!

@csautomotive12 thanks for posting.

It would be really tight! There’s not a lot of room on these trucks!

Thanks I’m glad someone understands how hard it is! I appreciate the support!

It’s hard to say what’s going on with it. You would need to get some codes and go from there would be my guess! Did you figure anything out on it?

Smoking under fuse box is the inverter coolant pump trust me I’m doing it right now and no more smoke or electronic smell plus it’s just 3 bolts

@@Osbaldorojas spot on. The dealer fixed it. Exact problem. Thanks you

Thanks! Good luck to you! Let me know if you have any questions along the way!

@csautomotive12 Possibly more than you'd care to answer, lol... But if I get hard stuck, I'll keep you in mind. Actually... Do you know anything about ECM replacement in these? Separate issue from the head gasket, but the original ECM was throwing a few codes. 1 was the Bank 1, Sensor 2 o2 sensor, but the other two were duplicate p0606/processor faults that were persistent and wouldn't clear. So I got a used ECM from a salvage yard and installed it. No codes, and it passed its self-diagnostic. But now the car is only getting a very weak spark (dull orange color). It ran for months with the bad head gasket, but then quit even trying to start. That's when I discovered the fault codes and got the replacement ECM. Plenty of fuel pressure (48psi coming out of the regulator while cranking) and good compression on 3 of the 4 cylinders. Security light goes out when putting the original key in, so I don't suspect the immobilizer feature to be the issue. I have heard that the ECM needs to be reprogrammed to the car... something to do with communicating with the rest of the systems properly? I'm at a loss there. Most of my experience and expertise is from OBD-I and earlier. But unless I figure this part out, the head gasket issue is pretty moot. Any thoughts?

Your welcome! Thanks

@@katrinagaines2320 Thanks

Thanks for the comment. It’s a common problem on the 2.4 liter. It’s hard to say on the cost. There’s a lot that goes into the job. Every state has different labor rates. Hope that helps. Also sometime it’s cheaper to put a motor in them than to do the head gasket.

You’re going to need to get the car scanned to see what codes it has.

@@csautomotive12 I appreciate you taking the time to respond, I scanned the car it had a throttle actuator code, changed the throttle body and it’s running great again, thanks!

@@SK-tn2qnI’m glad you got it figured out!
