2015 Ford Escape Steering Wheel Shaking (Replace Rotors and Calipers)
In this video I pass on some knowledge that was given to me by a mechanic years ago that has helped me fix the shake and vibration that can happen when you hit your brakes.

Ford Bronco Step

This is the installation of the IAG V2 step that mounts to the factory rock rails. They are designed for easy installation and removal so you can take them off if you go off-road and don't want to beat them up.
FORD BRONCO with RokBlokz mud flaps
zhlédnutí 3,8KPřed rokem
This is a 2023 Badlands with the Sasquatch package. Everyone says that these rigs throw rocks like crazy so I bought these mud flaps before I had the Bronco. The main reason I liked these was because they are easily removable with the thumb screws. This video is about the install and quality of them.

Dual Function Brush Rake
zhlédnutí 363KPřed 4 lety
This is a dual sided brush rake I built so I can have one tool for removing brush and grading dirt or gravel. This is a simple design and I was able to acquire all the materials from my local steel scrap yards. I have found that a round pipe works much better than an I beam for grading because it does not gouge the ground.

If you're worried about your bumper getting scratched, you shouldn't be owning a 4×4. You know driving it wears down the tires, right? Running the engine creates internal wear. Parking it outside will eventually fade the paint. Using the brakes wears doen the pads and rotors. You're gonna ruin that Bronco if you use it. Put it back in its box so it stays prestine.
Thank you for an inspiring video. I was wondering which to buy between powered thum and manual one but this video inspired me as the powered thumb can be folded to work out when ripping job and open to grab somthing that shortened the working time dramatically.
Nicely done video, with tons great points! I have 1985 cat d3b dry setup they are very simlar in designs. I recently pulled my steering clutches and brakes and installed all metal disc with the bronze faced linings (they are made to run dry,) major upgrade for the d3's! Thanks Nate
Glad you liked it.
Great job! Do you mind sharing where you got the tools from? Thank you
Can you be more specific? Which tools are you asking about?
@@jeremydiy My apologies, the firepit tools, poker, log grabber, etc. Thank you
A very nice project. Well, at least up to the final step. Didn’t you hear that paint is the worst thing to put on something like this. Now the thing looks like a new bucket, and you can’t stick it in the dirt. Really, that is a nice project, and I like what I saw of your shop. A 76 yrs old retired toolmaker said that.
Thanks, very kind of you. I haven’t had time to video any projects lately but I hope to this summer.
Question the flange plate that holds on the yoke and throw out bearing, what size socket did you use to remove the nut that holds that flange on sir?
Unfortunately I can’t remember. I probably just grabbed sockets and tried them until I found the one that fit.
Great install video! Still happy with these a little more than a year later?
Yep, they’re still doing great.
Very goog!! 👍
👍
A pointed tooth would be a nice addition too
Grind some hard rod at a 45 on 2 sides, cut to width of the shank and then weld them on perpendicular to the shank, spaced at something like 2” apart
Great work
Nice work! Thats a big job. Hope it lasts a long time.
I’ve been using it quite a bit lately and it’s holding up so far.
Thank you for information
You’re welcome
I think use oem parts and accessories thank you
Using paralleled 4/0 gives you an ampacity of 360 A you cannot use the exception in the code book for 4/0 aluminum cable rating at 200 A. But when you go from your transfer switch to your panel you must now use 250 MCM aluminum or 3/0 copper cable to meet code. Your 400 amp breaker is now your service disconnect. Any sub panels off of that need to be rated at the rating of the overcurrent device that they are terminated. Your work looks very nice. Did the inspector question the conductor sizing?
The inspector and electric company looked at the work and was satisfied.
Hi Jeremy, thanks for the great video. Was wondering if you have any follow-up to this product? Wondering if you still like them…..how they have held up….was the XL the right size?
They have been great. I haven’t had any reason to remove them though. They are very durable and yes the XL’s are a good size for this style of bronco. No mud flap stops everything but I’ve been pleased. These tires throw a lot of rocks and as I mentioned in the video, we live down a 2 mile gravel road. When I get on to the highway and up to speed I hear them catching all kinds of rocks. Good for my paint and I’m sure people driving behind me also.
Paso a paso como debe de ser...genial 👍
Gracias por el comentario. Me alegra que te haya gustado.
Good job, especially for someone learning as they go. I have a 1994 d37e-5 in need of this now. TEC (kamotsu) says 120 hrs labor, 26k and some change. Parts 26k and some change. Total 53k and some change. 😮😂😢
Ouch!! Good luck. Thanks for the comment.
Where did you end up ordering your seal , bearing , and prong from for the final drive? Thank you Dan
I think I was able to get the seal from an auto parts store or McGuire bearing company. The bearing is a genuine Komatsu part and I just did a Google search for the part number and found it online somewhere. It’s not a cheap bearing if I remember correctly, it was like $300.
I just put clutches in mine also, but I am having a hard time putting the break linkage and the cover back together. Do you have any advice? Thanks for the video I watched it several times.
Oh ya, that was super hard. I can’t really remember. I do remember having almost everything assembled and putting the cover over the brakes and then having to insert a pin I believe patience and time is what it took.
Wat's the trick to getting the covers back on attached to the brakes, Wish You video putting the covers back on
It is a D21 A, not a 20. Mid 1980s. I have the same model. Should be a serial number tag on the left side.
No it’s not. The lag on the left side says D20 A. Also, all the parts I look up in the parts manual are correct for a D20.
Sorry my mistake, I have a D21A mid 80s, looks a lot alike from the cab area.@@jeremydiy
why didn't you use a speedy sleeve with your new seal instead of the JB weld?
Because until now I haven’t ever heard of those. I looked them up and it seems like it would work good.
They should steal your video it's way better than ours... Nice job
Thanks
Sir d20a-5 dozer spear parts how to book in india wibsits pls tellme
Go to mykomatsu.komatsu and register. This will give you an account and you can look up the parts and book.
You are not an electrician, but you did good! Looks good! The phrase 4 o is really 4 ought. Or 4/0. The conduits the connect from the new disconnect to the the sub panels should be 2 in. Good job again!
I know 4 ought is the correct term, I always assumed 4 0 was the slang term. That’s good to know about the conduit size. I thought that I pulled up a chart to tell me what size conduit I would need but maybe I just went with the smallest size that I would be able to make work. Thanks for the comment.
Thank you for the tip on the alteration of the rear bracket. I will be purchasing a set of these for my Wildtrak when it comes in. Your video and review have helped me a great deal.
Glad I could help.
I have an old d20p-5 was used in my small logging operation 20 yrs ago.. you inspired me to get it going.. thank you for this video..!
Glad to hear that. Good luck and thanks for watching.
What is the model of this transfer switch?
RA-400-SE
Can the H / bucket link be refurbished? Mine is a little worn out. Got a new pin and new seals, bushings were still fine…but the seals are 5mm and stick out a little now :((
Ya a machine shop can weld and machine an old link and make it like new.
Great video! Very clear and easy to follow. I like the way you handled the trouble areas.
Thanks.
how many hours were on this dozer?
Not exactly sure since I only worked on it in my spare time. Maybe somewhere between 40 and 60 hours.
no, I mean how many hours are on the machine? I'm judging from your track wear that this was used quite a bit before the steering got to this point? Also, just fyi, Im off grid where I may be overhauling mine so, because your video was so well done, I was able to snip pictures from the vid, save to flashdrive before transferring to my phone......now I have some great stills to help me through the process! well done! @@jeremydiy
Oh, 2500. The tracks seem pretty low quality so they may look like they have more hours on the machine than it does. Glad the hear that this should help.
I’ve got a big rectangle tubing piece laying beside the shop. It is about to grow some teef!!!
That should do it
The load wires to the panels are not rated for 400 amps so shouldn't this transfer switch feed in to a distribution panel first with 2-200 amp mains for proper overcurrent protection for load side conductors?
The transfer switch is the distribution center. The incoming 400 amps is split into two 200 amps before it goes out to the panels. That’s how I can run 4/0 aluminum to the panels.
Best vid I have seen on RokBlokz install as you were only one that pointed out rubbing on bumper and issue with removing; also why does RokBlokz not pre-build flaps other thatn the bracket?
It's either rocks and shit hitting the inside of the bumper or a few screw heads. I do agree on them being built before they ship. Maybe it makes them cheaper?
Nice Video !! Those tricks will help !!
Just received mine and will be installing soon. I don’t want any rock chips on my brand new heritage edition!
You can purchase a shaft repair ring. They are available in both SAE and metric sizes. Work great and no more leaks or damaged seals.
How were the DC connections? I haven't found a video explaining how those were done or what to keep in mind when making those terminations.
By DC are you talking about the battery that allows the generator to start in a power outage?
Great idea, thanks for sharing !!
You are so welcome!
If you can before order make sure you know what you need there website is kind of confusing and customer service sucks cannot talk to anyone crash bar no crash bar holy shit how the hell are you supposed to know 🤪🤪🤪
Hi, 99 Ford expedition 4wd 5.4L here. Is there a tool to just push the lower control arm bushings out and the new ones in? I bought the four bushings (Moog) in Amazon, but nobody wants to replace them. They tell me to buy the lower control arms instead. I really need to fix it. It's not taking alignment, and my new tires with now 5000 miles need to be replaced soon. * I have to add, the ball joints are new, only 40K miles.
Yes there’s a way to do that. I haven’t ever needed to but I know people that have. Maybe talk to the auto part store and see if they have a tool to rent.
Awesome video! My D20A5 just started locking up the right side. I guess I’ll be tearing it all down and watching your video 20x!!
Having a super tough time getting those clutch covers off. I need to take the little pins out on the inside, and they’re stuck!
Looking like that large bearing completely grenaded on me! Chunks of metal when the drive oil was drained! Where can that bearing be purchased?? I’ve found ONE, for nearly $350!!
Not sure which bearing you’re talking about but I think I looked them up by part number and found them on eBay. If it’s the bearing from the clutch to the sprocket, ya those are expensive.
Thank you for the reply. The bearing seems to be on back order. If possible, I have a couple of questions: the access plug to get to the brake clutch bolts is frozen, it’s now stripped out! Is it worth drilling it out, or should I just use a swivel head 17mm wrench to remove those bolts? Also, once those bolts are removed, does the clutch disc assembly just lift out?? I can feel that the bearing that the clutch assembly connects to is sloppy and likely destroyed. Any other info on this project would be appreciated! All of my steering is perfect, just had that bearing grenade on me and it would stop that side and sound horrible!
@stephenlarue6842 I think it’s worth getting that plug out. Without that access it’s going to be really hard putting it all back in. You can do a couple things, drill the centers out and use an easy out tool (the biggest one you can) to try and brake it free or weld a bolt head to it so you can put a socket on it. Which ever route you go I would soak it in penetrating oil and heat it up just before trying to brake it free. After you get those bolts off the plates on both sides, the clutch is free. I used a bar and a rope to support the weight of the clutch while I was taking it apart. It’s heavy, probably about 50 pounds.
400 dollars is a lot for mud flaps i just dont know if i can do it
Ford charges from $600-$1200 for mud flaps on their asseccory site which is BS, Should come with mud flaps Ford!
Okay where does his emergency power or generator power come into the transfer switch ?
It’s the smaller red and black wires at the bottom of the switch.
Needed to know how to put it all back together and how to reset ur tension on the torsion bar and how u got it back to where u have the torsion key
I marked the torsion key bolt before I removed it. That allowed me to get it close when I installed it. Then I measured from the ground to a fixed point on the truck to make sure the right and left sides were the same height.
great stump removal video. I think that claw is a great tool.
Thanks 👍
Amazingly truthful review…thank you, I will get a set, my Bronco is scheduled for delivery in one month, will put these on immediately, I also do much travel on gravel roads, some extreme.
I have a badlands Sasquatch vehicle coming, meant to be on off roads a bunch, flaps will be necessary.
Glad it helped.
Jeremy, I take it your local jurisdiction did not require an outside disconnect.
This house was built 15 years ago and an outside disconnect was not required. I added this ATS and generator. The generator has a disconnect on it so anyone can disconnect the power coming from the generator if need be.
Service entry aesthetics: (Jeremy Your meter panel is how it should be done) 1. I'm all for NEC code changes for safety, but why can it be done in an aesthetic and pleasing manner for the exterior of residential buildings? 2. Why aren't architects demanding the electrical manufacturers address exterior service disconnects 3. How about an external small mechanical disconnect that uses a spring cable to disconnect the breaker or knife switch on the inside of the building. Of course certified and listed. Residential 400 amp residential service looks like a small industrial building. Very large meter panel. Very large disconnects switch box, and a 200 amp panel box, and a second 200 amp panel box in the inside of the residence. Then down the road were coming up with smart panels even larger housings. How about adding to the engineering staff a design engineer and architect so their voices can be added to the design process and residential stop looking like small industrial plants.
