    From the outset I was a bit nervous re: what to expect/presentation, but SERIOUSLY you are an excellent educator! The repair info is top-notch, but far and away your manner of presentation is absolutely outstanding. Very well done!

      Thanks Scott! There are two things that guide me... First, there are a glut of videos out there that only cover about 1/2 of a repair. I know how frustrating that can be... Second, I can't believe what dealers and other shops charge for simple parts replacement these days... Yes, there are difficult jobs (ie. pulling a trans) but these little sensors are not in that category. However, the manufacturers hide parts and make things intentionally difficult because they do not refine their designs. All that said, with a little patience and a few tools, you can save yourself thousands of dollars over the course of your car/truck ownership.

    That's crappy that you had to replace that before 100k! Good to know though. Those flappers are all over the place on eco boosts. Glad to see I'm not the only one who tries way too hard to leave as many things in place as opposed to removing everything to get to where you need to. A blessing and a curse.

    • @GregsGarage
      @GregsGarage  Před 2 lety

      The sensors in modern engines are good for 50-60k and then they start to poop out. They used to be on the front of the crank... Now they moved them to the back hidden under a set of turbos. It went from a 5 minute repair to about 6 hours in "the book."

      @GregsGarage  Před 2 lety +1

      Thanks Ziggy! I definitely feel your pain... I've opened up enough well designed computers and other do-dads to know that if the designer has serviceability in mind, they can make everything EASY to service... If they're lazy, they can make it all but impossible to work through the puzzle... Tell me I'm wrong here, but they could put this sensor on the BOTTOM side of the flywheel and it would take all of 30 seconds to change... They're just LAZY.

    On a 2015 ford transit 250 do you have to remove the turbo to get to the crankshaft sensor?

    • @GregsGarage
      @GregsGarage  Před rokem

      I don't know the transit. I suspect it's very similar to the F-150 since they are essentially the same components. You'll just have to see if you can get past all the turbo and exhaust without having to remove them.

  • @ainmiteach9530
    @ainmiteach9530 Před rokem

    Question ... The shop guide says this is a 5 hour repair ... It seems that you managed this "first time" in well under 5 hours.
    Do you think the "Chilton Time" of 5 hours is highly exaggerated and what do you think it really should be?

    • @GregsGarage
      @GregsGarage  Před rokem

      I believe this one took an hour (maybe just over). I was shooting video, which always takes a bit longer... However, I did NOT follow the shop guide. Most manuals tell you to remove the turbo section of the exhaust along with some of the suspension. Had I done that it would have been 5 hours, no question... The reason I made the video was to show that you could do the repair without removing major sections of the exhaust and suspension... The truly aggrevating piece is that Ford could have clocked this sensor 10 degrees lower on the bell housing and a repair tech could access it from under the car. The repair would likely take about 15 minutes if that were the case... Side note... Dealers make 75% of their revenue from repairs. Do you think Ford has any reason to make the repair more accessible?

    • @GregsGarage
      @GregsGarage  Před 2 lety

      No doubt. They design modern motors so they can pack more external junk onto them, not for serviceability. With most folks relying on the dealership for everything, the service techs can only get through a few repairs a day... It's amazing they can keep up with demand.

    That crankshaft sensor install on your F-150 was no walk in the park. It looked like access was 75% of the challenge (and fishing out dropped parts). Does make you want to slap the Ford designer. Doing it yourself is definitely worth the $700 saved, even if it took an whole afternoon.

    As an engineer in a different field I will not defend Ford designers, but often the bean counters have the final say in certain matters.
    The bigger problem I think is that car mfrs. These days designs things to last just the warranty period, after that they don't give a diddley squat.

    • @GregsGarage
      @GregsGarage  Před 2 lety

      I agree... Budget is usually the judge, jury and executioner. I would argue that locating a part like this where it is accessible is a cost-free decision.
      Good or bad, I decided to buy the 100k extended warranty from Ford and guess what..? It doesn't cover these sensors!!! Oh well... I guess that's why I keep sharp on modern motor repairs. Thanks for checking out the video!!!
