Pro tip on checking those bearings for the idler and tensioner pulleys. If you spin them and they free wheel and take a long time to spin down, they don’t have any grease left. I noticed when you spun the top idler pulley, it spins smooth and stops spinning immediately. If you catch them soon enough you can pack them with grease, but many times it’s better to just replace them. I really need to get one of those plastic guns.
I watched the first 15 minutes of the video and you already covered 2 of the annoying issues that my 1992 Flareside has. The wobbly mirrors have been bugging me since the day I bought it, and i did not know that they need to be tightened from under the door panel. Thanks!
I do like all your videos you put out. That level of detail that you put in the cleaning your vehicle by chance and would you happen to come to Texas sometime? Never hurts to ask
I just bought one of these in the windshield wipers were barely oozing water out so I added some water to the tank and now they work just fine so it was just low on fluid
The 95' to 97' F-Series is the best looking Ford pickup since the 1970 to 72'... I have always wanted a 97' F-100 shorty! Both my 1971 and 1972 are long beds like my 2000 F-250 SD.
Plastic welding is not going to work long. There is a TSB for the dash tab breaking. Ford has a repair kit that includes a metal bracket you rivet to the dash and has a new tab built into it.
Check the tone gear in the rear diff but only if replacing the rear diff VSS doesn’t correct it. Pre 1995 vehicles with the E40D transmission will only have that rear diff sensor as a speed sensor. The other thing is it could indicate that your instrument cluster or PSOM is failing. Start with the VSS sensor first then the tone gear in the rear diff it’s a magnetic ring
@@OldeCarrGuy holy shoot bwe had a brand new 95 f250 bought v8 air etc for under 6k added cap bedliner rear window slider full hub caps and stuff under 7k. These trucks are insane prices today and let the manufacturer's. Eat them on the lot for a 55k base price!!!!!!!!
How to fleece the superficial customer with more money than any common sense or general know how ... It's like a symbiotic cash cow flow between the designers and aftermarket repair rackets to not only initially conjure up unnecessary design and material flaws but to build in specialized difficulty and failure features to necessitate far more high profit aftermarket parts and services. Twisted part is they all know it.
Great video I have a 94 ford f150 never knew about the plastic welder looking forward to buying one

They are a great tool to have with todays plastic cars.
I had that noise, it was the tension pulley.
Love! Love! Love that body style!
Awesome job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Enjoyed the video...I've got a 1995 F-150 XLT (short wb /2 wheel drive) with 66k miles. Looking at options to keep her shining for years to come.

I also have the same loose dash issue. I bought a replacement metal bracket to fix it that I still haven't installed.
Sounds like you’ve got some work to do!
Great job she looks great, I enjoyed everything you did.
Thank you so much!
WOW!! Beautiful truck!
Nice job!
Thanks Ray. It sure is purdy.
I do like all your videos you put out.

ANything can happen for a price Tim. But I'm sure there are guys closer to you like Will's Wheels on UA-cam.
@@OldeCarrGuy no one is as Cool as OCG.
I have one of those plastic welders and I used it to fix a bumper and it worked pretty good
You did a good job..!!👍💯
There is a metal repair bracket available for the dash if it breaks again.
Good to know. Thanks
Worked on my 1995 F250
really like this truck, that "exhaust" 😝😝😝! i like the mellow stock ford sound with cats. enjoyed the vidya
Glad you enjoyed it!
What an amazing job on this 💎 of a truck
I have the same truck but it's dark green with tan interior
I just bought one of these in the windshield wipers were barely oozing water out so I added some water to the tank and now they work just fine so it was just low on fluid
Great job, that is a beautiful truck I would love to have that.
Thanks! It sure was a beauty!
A nice looking truck that looks even nicer now. :)
Yes indeed!

Definitely great trucks!

The best!

Fixing the dash and mirror was great.

Chinese-ium off Amazon lol amzn.to/3RCiCrj
First video watching I had to subscribe I have a 1993 f-150 xlt
Thanks so much!
How much are you asking for this truck?
It was a customer vehicle! Not for sale.
@@OldeCarrGuy ok, let me know if you get anothern
I need help on my speedo it bounces around I have a 1995 one with 90k miles
It may have a stripped speedo gear in the transmission.
@@OldeCarrGuy how would you be able to change that? Is it a big problem?
Change Speed Sensor on Rearend, top of Pumpkin.

Wooo wee that's pretty
You don't want to scratch the paint with a nylon brush but your not worried about scratching the head lights 🤨
Nice truck a little
E upkeep and no need to buy a new 55k. New Ford pickup
You got that right!

@@OldeCarrGuy Santa is quite possibly an undercover squirrel

Truck dies when I turn on my headlights
Have your alternator tested!
looks good and you did alot but what of the passenger step and the check engine light?
The owner opted not to do anything with the step at this point and the engine light was on due to no catalytic converters.
