How to Inspect & Change Ford Super Duty/Excursion U-Joints

In this video we go through the process of inspecting and replacing the universal joints on a Ford Excursion ( also applies to Super Duty pickups). The process to lubricate the slip yoke is also provided since this is easy to do while the driveshaft is out. This was done because I was experiencing a slight hum/vibration when accelerating and replacing the rear u-joint cured the issue.

C10 Pickup Paint Resurrection "How To Video"
How come my isn’t coming off
It should if you’ve removed the fastener. I’ve done it twice so far
@ do I need a flat head screwdriver or something to pop it out ?
Everything worked except I’m getting full service cannot be carried out message
I’ve never had that happen but I’ve heard that sometimes you have to drive the car for over 50 miles and then try to reset again and then it works. You might wanna try that.
Great video thanks
Low volume, did you had you v8
Maybe did not have great microphones?
What size ractchet was that
Where did you get those ball joints? By the way great video
Rockauto.com
The rims to do not give vehicle any justice
Thank you for being the only one to actually show how to do this!
Thanks mine just broke today getting a new one and doing it mysef
Fast, efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you.
Lets be honest. You skipped over that bottom caliper bracket bolt thats inside the control arm bracket because your socket wrench wouldn't fit. It's U shape making a 1/4 inch driver too big too fit in the space. I recommend a smaller 1/4 inch driver to get it started.
Just had to do this after every other method failed. Great idea and worked good
Work for me, what else can I say?
The repairs for these two accidents are so expensive; they've already exceeded the value of the car. Did you have the repairs done at the dealer?
Accident number one was repaired at the dealer, accident number two was a couple of years later and was repaired at an independent paint and body shop. You are correct, if combined together, those two bills are worth more than the vehicle!.
Great video, thank you for this info ! My 2018 GLS has the same seat wear issue up front, same crack on the mouse. Heard it’s from the sun. Great vehicle though ! Thanks again for the time in making this video.
It’s been solid, we will probably buy the 2020+up version when it’s time to trade-in.
@ that would be nice. I like the box look though.
Thank you!

Transcript
I dropped the screw down into the door when I was unscrewing it. Now I don’t have a replacement screw to attach the piece I ordered! Will I have to take the door apart to get it or can I just use a regular screw that fits?
From what I recall, it looked pretty specific, you’ll probably need to take the door panel off to retrieve it
@ I found a similar bolt at Home Depot for .42 and it worked fine!
Unfortunately, this hard reset didn't work for me. My screen has been frozen on "Warning: Taking your eyes off the road.." Does anyone have any suggestions for resetting when the display isn't on the Home screen? Thanks!
I really like your video i was able to replaced my rear pad and rotor 2018 gls 450. Thank you
Easy job!

How to replace the Driver side Handle
I’ve never had to replace that one, but it should be pretty similar to the passenger side
Great video. Buying mine today ! Can’t wait.
I’ve been pretty impressed with mine so far, haven’t run up against anything it can’t handle yet.
I had the same situation. After 2 days of trying every suggestion on You-tube, I decided to leave the old oil filter on the vehicle and just put in fresh oil. That will have to do until the next oil change. I will then take the vehicle to an oil-change shop and let them worry about it.
Wish I had thought of that
Boy it’s been a long time since I’ve changed my own oil and wiper blades, thank you dear for the quick refresher on the wiper blades, get er done for the storm season gets here, Mahalo🤙🏻🌺
Straight forward. Clear. Simple. Way videos should be.
Thank you!
This is great advice.
WOW
Thanks! You just saved us $500 of labor.
Excellent, glad to help!
I’m just got a 2013 Chevy and I was worried on what the error meant and this video had me check my coolant and OH MY GOSH IT WAS SO LOW!
Well, sometimes it says low coolant because the coolant is actually low!
Are you looking to skyrocket your UA-cam channel's visibility and engagement? Elevate your UA-cam presence! I'll optimize your channel for higher visibility, driving increased views and engagement.
I glued the socket tool to the filter with crazy glue (others use epoxy). Came out easy with the wrench.
Great idea
If the problem persists, pull the tank if you have to but on the left side directly on the bottom is a slide out sensor...fat "T" shape (Black).
Thanks for the tip!
My 1987 rear bearing and cap did not come off that easy. The technique looks practical but not for a seized rear cap or on since new. She’s 37 years old now and still going strong. Excellent video. 💯
So weird that this works. But it does. I had to do it twice. The second time I let it stay off for a couple of minutes and then I restarted my car. It works just fine.
I had no idea the 2016 was that much faster.
Yep, I've only owned 2016s so I don't know what the "seat of the pants" difference feels like.
After doing that upper camber adjustment, the caster should be rechecked as it will change it.
I appreciate the video. You helped me change my wiper blade.
This is awesome, and the exact handle that broke off in my hand yesterday. Thank you!!!
Thank you I have replaced 1 sensor didn’t know there was 2.
Thank you for the info.
Thank you. I needed this. I have my new door handle and I am going to save about $200. I paid to have the front door handle replaced on ther passenger side about 2 years ago.
Takes under 10 minutes!
💐Thank you very much for helping me today. 💐 You held my hand step-by-step so well and I appreciate you. I’m very proud of myself too for completing a successful break job on my own car. I saved a lot of💲 and gained a lot of needed self-confidence. ❤Thank you!❤
Tip: use the old brake pad to help the clamp push on the caliper.....of course you can change the brake pads sooner and you shouldn't have to change the rotor.
Thank you
New toy alert! Nice
More info and demo on this please ! Can’t wait. Thanks
Will do! I hooked this up to the Mercedes CLS550 I just bought and couldn't believe the number of systems that this thing can diagnose, especially in the body Control Module.
@@pinkcaddygarage267 oh nice. It is pricey, but with an GLS450 could be worth it. Any codes pop up on your GLS?
I have a 2012 and this video is exactly what I needed! Great Video
Can you do this video for the driver side? Please?????
Well, we usually just do videos when we actually have to make the repair. However, I don’t think the driver side will be any different than the passenger side.
You were the best!!! And you’re a girl.😊
Thank you so much!
