- Getting some overdue maintenance completed on the 450. Oil and filter, fuel filters and changing the front tires. When your a contractor it can be hard to get your maintenance completed on time but I try my best!

You have chosen wisely... I tested a few different Ford recommended brands of oil and viscosities including Schaeffer's, which many on the Ford Enthusiasts forum claim is the best. I did Schaeffer's 5w-40 through 4 oil changes and then back to Rotella T6, the 6.7 ran measurably quieter on T6 with a bump up in mpg. This is on Super Duty’s ranging from F250-F550 2017-2021. Being in land clearing and driving down gravel and dirt roads, you should change your air filter a lot more often then the manual recommends. I do it every 8-10k miles depending on usage. Most guys let it go far to long.
If I remember right, BTBRV got some legit alcoas and was saying that those wheels have a higher weight rating and are lighter so you can rotate all the duels.
Love that T6 oil. Recommend it for Cummins, power stroke and duramax. You switch from conventional 15-40 to T6, especially here in ice cold manitoba, your truck will thanks you on cold starts
8:24 good god man oil undercoat that truck. Fluid film, woolwax, waxoyl it all works. The price of these trucks I’d imagine you don’t want it to rot off the road before it’s time.
Centramatic wheel balancers work great on my F350 Dually. I think BTBRV uses them on his 17 450 and likes them. Thanks for the video.
One thing to note, going from different oils, carry a quart with you and check the dipstick a few times cause the engine will burn off some during the transition adjustment.
BTBRV put the real Alcoa’s on his, all 6. If you ever did want to swap them, Alcoa makes the black ones too. As for the chrome delete, I’d say the wheels might be enough. If you do go further, I think that chrome strip under the windows and the chrome on the boards left looks very nice. I’m not into bro dozers but @FordSixFo has a 21 F250 Platinum blacked out without that little trim pieces and that looks very nice. With the exception of wheels and tires
That sucks they messed up the rims! I think I'm just going to go ahead and buy the tools to do it myself. I used to be a tire man anyway 🤔
Regular maintenance...... money in the bank....
My tire shop struggled getting my Michelin XDS2's installed too and they ended up damaging every single one of my wheels. I haven't found a tire shop that has equipment to install tires on 19.5 wheels. The shops I've found are doing the install by hand with large pry bars.
My silverado has a dent like that where I just noticed it in the right light one day. Zero paint damage and in a place where I physically couldn’t of hit it with anything driving.
I'm so happy to finally change my wheels and tires from oe. My oem wheels are steel on the inside. Now I'm running American force with mickey thompson 12 ply all made in the usa. I guess we're it's made wouldn't matter to you cause your in Canada right. I did super singles on the front. I change my oil every 3k to 5k. Good vids.
13:10 you could have a detail shop that works on big rigs polish both sides of those wheels to a mirror finish. They could also take out the scratches.
House is looking good. Man Bauer is getting big. Good video also.
Famous last words: “overdue maintenance” 😧
Is what it is
Oh! Those are the michelins I wanted to see! 😍
What?!! Over 25k miles and you've changed the oil twice............? Good luck with that engine lasting. And before anyone says I don't care what is recommended by the manufacturer, you change your oil religiously every 3k to 5k. 8k is already stretching it. Especially if you make your engine work like that.
That all
Sounds great in the perfect world. I would love to do that but it doesn’t work out that way as much
@@workplaytv yet you do so much complaining about the build quality not doing your part and taking care of a vehicle that is your income horse. Come on man...
@@TermlessHGW fit an finish is one thing man. I have never complained about the power train. What’s the sense of building something if it looks like shot. Mid as well leave if lay on the floor
@@workplaytv sure you might. You might also say that maybe Ford (as well as GM and few others actually) figured out that people don't take proper care or even basic maintenance of their cars so why spend millions more building them properly when in reality most of them will last 5 years tops
@@TermlessHGW well it is their job. Anyway I would much rather have my oil changed sooner than better but my life has been insane so it’s either let my customers or family down or wait to maintain my truck. I chose my truck.
The overhang looks awesome
You finally got a chance to clean it up. Shiny ✨
Could bite the bullet and get the insides of the front polished and probably the inside (which will become outside) of the rears too. Once that’s done you can rotate at Will.
The more I watch your videos the more I tell myself, don’t buy a ford and don’t buy the first model year after a refresh.. 😂 love your vids
Basically you can rotate your front tires side to side. It does help some. I had better luck with the 17" on my 2012. For some reason they don't chop so much.
Got rid of them tires and got some Goodyear g622’s. Definitely louder but I’m gettin double to triple life
If you rotate to the unpolished side at least all for a little unpolished 🤔 they would all match
Lol yeah and all look like shit
Check out the h&s motorsports Baldwin fuel filter kit. I’ve been waiting to watch someone I watch religiously add it on there truck and do a review. Looks like it eliminates the plastic connections.
Another great vid! Thanks man!
Tyler , love the channel. If you weren’t doing heavy towing , just tools n stuff and just doing the long drives for job estimates. Would you choose a gas like the 250 or tundra again or is diesel the way to go for long drives.
I’d go gas. Cheaper up front cost and less maintenance
Oh, for sure. If you tow heavy for those long distances, then you get a diesel
Wow he’s getting big my oldest just turned 5 no clue how 5 years went by that fast
All you gotta do is blink and they are in high school
That really is a nice color for your truck.... 2 things... would it be worth having someone polish those wheels?.... second you could always add a couple simple skylights to that porch roof... just a thought...
The porch is going to have pot lights. Polishing them Is an option
Try not to be overdue on the maintenance. Even though your truck has lots of defects from the factory, its still an awesome machine and its best to keep it purring like a kitten with its services done at the right time 😁
My '19 f450 has the same front tire issues. And the tire shop also scratched my rims when they put the two new front tires on. I am on the fence about sticking with 19.5s or going to a 20 or 22 just so there are more tire options.
Oh yeah, but every time you go bigger. You get less sidewall, less sidewall means you’ll destroy your rims a lot faster. But different PowerStrokes for different folks
I used to swear by Dino Rotella used it in my old 6.5 Chevy diesel . Then when I had my semi with a c12 cat in it I used the Rotella Dino oil in it until I changed to Rotella t6 and ended up loosing oil pressure in it. I will never use t6 Rotella in anything else again.
Shit that weird
Hello Bauer, wow your big.
TTYL 📱 U
Not sure if you can get Sailun S740 in Canada? I Run them on my 2 F550’s for rural plowing in north central Vermont. Excellent winter traction. Fraction of the cost of the Michelin’s.
order some of those balancing rings from centramatic
That’s ridiculous that the inside of those rims are not polished, premium truck!!
What kind of michelins did you put on the front?
I'd like to see the 245 michelins on there for winter!
Thinking of the 265
@@workplaytv the Toyos 🤔
@@DS-TRUCKS wouldn’t be a surprise if I told you lol
@@workplaytv I can t wait! I'm excited!
Your place is looking great! How is your home heated in the winter? Here in the south we use natural gas for heating.
It’s electric with one wall mounted heat pump for now.
hi when talk about your tire at your shop i saw few sign i would say you are in southshore
Yep
He's gettin so big.
bad idea putting synthetic in a 6.7 powerstroke that is a no no
Huh
Nice video!! Will you snowplow this winter? With which truck?
I sure will. The 350
its crap that the rims are polished on all side. ford need re fink about that. sad that the door has get that dent
you find fords in general eat tires and brakes? i have a transit 250, every 30-40k tires and brake pad/rotors gone. no- I do not abuse or brake heavy or tow/haul heavy. my previous GMC savanna 2500, 130k miles, never touched brakes once, traded in for ford transit and regretting it...
No all my other fords are great on both
dont paint them..get them powder coated..
perfect powder coating in martock is awesome!!
What’s the name of the shop?
Miles did you have on front tires?I have 14K on mine with nowhere near the wear you have on yours. But mostly highway miles towing my fifth wheel.
25 k
It’s a great looking truck, I’ve always felt like fords can handle a lot of weight. But for the price, the fit and finish is trash. The back window in my 2016 f350 leaked from brand new, Ford would not stick behind repairing it either
Do y’all have fuel filter problems up in Canada? This winter in Texas we had a week of 0*F and diesel fuel basically froze up all the filters solid and thousands of people were stranded
No I have never had an issue
@@workplaytv I forgot You live in the maritime area, when it’s zero here even a block heater didn’t help with frozen DEF fluid and gel diesel
@@sstein49 yeah that’s crazy we get -20 Celsius at times abs never an issue
@@workplaytv Im in Connecticut and I know we get winter blend diesel at the gas stations, thats probably the reason for not very many gelling issues.
@@blakeb1992 yeah Texas doesn’t have winter blend diesel, I guess it makes a difference? Every auto parts place sold out of additives
Easy Off Oven Cleaner period
Honest question Ford 6.7 ram 6.7 or duramax 6.6. If you only could buy one and keep it for 20 years what would it be and why
Prob the 6.7 Cummins with the Aisin I’d say due to its simplicity
@@workplaytv I hear ya. Only problem is they have the worst ride out of the big 3 trucks.
@@coreym5072 Toss up between Ram 6.7/Aisin and 6.7 Ford powerstroke. I personally believe the best set up is a Ford 6.7 w/10 speed. Just incredible pulling power. Our towing company has 7 ford 6.7 and 3 Ram 6.7/Aisin cummins. The cummins has that low end mule grunt. Both trucks you'll end up with emissions issues. Our company won't even consider GM products
@@resharddurdley6987 how many miles are on your 6.7?? Any major issues? I’m waiting to see if ram adopts Allison trans. But a ram body will rust like crazy here in MN
@@coreym5072 We have one 2012 with 389,000 miles, no major issues. The remainder all have over 100k miles, no major issues. The 2012 and 2013 we are getting rid of to make room for the 2022 Ford 6.7s. We change the oil every 5k, fuel filters every 10k, and we are using Archoil ar6500 in the fuel tanks.
You said you're thinking about 265s.
What tire are you going with?
I haven’t decided yet. Will be toyos or Michelin’s I’d say
I haven’t decided yet. Will be toyos or Michelin’s I’d say
I'm in the same boat.
If the dunlop sp 461 is made in 265, i may go that way
So you prefer rotella over motorcraft?
I do yeah
Rotella is some good stuff, even In 104*F Texas weather, everyone I know runs it in a diesel
You don’t swap tires on the Dooley truck ever
Wide front axle trucks you need to
workplaytv I had Dooley truck for over 30 years and I did the same thing until recently I learned that you don’t swipe the front on the back you use them much as you can and you buy a new tires on the front and you use them until the rear tires are gone
