If anyone has that same shifter stock sloppage issue as seen at the end of the video, poke your head under the dash, the shifter stock attaches to a plate underneath the dash, it has 3 Torx screws/bolts through it. On mine 2 of them were about to fall out, and the third was loose. I put some Blue Lock-Tite on them and tightened them up and it completely fixed the issue. It's a quite popular issue on this style of F150's and F250's. Mine was getting so bad it wasn't going into park all the way. Glad I figured it out though. Still driving it today and still good as it was from the factory now.

I had a 1995 F150 in the shop last week. Customer calls and asks if I can replace the catalytic converter on his truck. He informs me that it runs like there's a potato in the tail pipe, and says he already drilled holes in the converter so he could drive it to me. So I repair the exhaust, and it still runs like it's plugged up. Check F/P, fuel quality, then on a whim I put a timing light on it. It was retarded at least 20 degrees. The distributor bolt wasn't tight and it had gradually worked it's way around. I set it to 10 degrees BTDC and smoked the tires leaving the shop. ;)

I'm just wondering why you use paper towels instead of cloth rags. Like the ones from Cintas or your friendly neighborhood uniform rental company. I do understand that there's is a cost of renting them but buying towels do have a cost. Plus, those red rags would be more than single use. Gretna would appreciate it.

Never thought of the calcium chloride on the dirt roads after it drys. We are moving onto the dirt soon, I guess I need to get my super duty slicked up on the bottom. The alum body is holding up well, but I did notice a bit of frame surface rust after 5 Michigan winters last time I was rolling around under there.

22: 00 Yes indeedy on the oil undercoat! Still driving my 1994 F150 in PA. 28 winters, 280K mi, and the frame is still solid because I get under it every fall with a brush and a gallon of bar and chain oil!
(Of course, the wheel arches have been replaced, but they all do that)

I worked at a nuke in Oswego and remember everyone who lived there had a winter rat beater for winter. I made a point of leaving before winter. The cops were hell on getting state plates too and taxes were obscene. Thanks for the work anyway. Steve

Some 20 years ago when I was a green horn at spinning wrenches, I heated the caliper bracket up to much and when I touched the slider to break it free it fired out like a slug from a Mossburg and through the wall, drywall plywood and vinyl siding

I remember those dirt roads outside of Dundee and Hector. Was a lot of fun in a rear drive pickup haha. I m surprised that the new gov of the PRNY hasn t tried banning salt. I mean they are banning natural gas stoves, so why not the salt right.

The video flowed nicely Eric. I hope you do a video on the 1990 F150, if no reason other than to how us a tidey rust free vehicle. Plus you working on a rust free vehicle enjoying every moment of undoing fasteners without busting your gut!

In my younger days, 40 bellow Minnesota plowing snow I could do a Ford f250 tire side ujoint in 20 minutes. Of course when the hands are covered in grease at those temps you move fast and miss a lot of cleanup. Brrrr. All the best.

Often thought about the salt and dirt probably was part of the reason why I didn t make car mechanic my profession. I ve had the hubs replaced and this video shows me that it can be rebuilt instead of replacing the entire unit.

Damn, I wish I knew about that tool a few years ago, I had to make my own tools for that job and used it many times since. But that looks like a good quality tool, might have to add it to my list! Keep up the great work bud!

It takes seconds longer to do it right, and by doing so you are assured that every nut and bolt is tight. I was always an observant mechanic (retired) and if it needed grease it got it even if I didn't get paid to do it.
