Wes please don't be afraid of repeat automotive videos. Yours are among the best repair videos on UA-cam. Don't care if it's brakes exhaust leaf springs fuel lines or tires. We come here to watch YOU. Never forget that. It's your personality that people come here to watch as much or more than the content. This video literally made my day.
As the owner of that vehicle, I am extremely pleased so far with what Wes was able to do, and that I was not raped by Ford for the OEM part! I feel lucky to live so close in proximity to such a thorough & well versed mechanic. He is a true mechanic, not a technician throwing Parts at the problem.
This year I replaced some worn out struts on my 2011 Kia Sorento. The dealership wanted $420 to replace them. I watched a UA-cam video on how to do it, and replaced them myself for $70 with struts I bought at O'Reilly's Auto Parts! Your video is right on! Kudos from a Navy Vietnam Vet who is NOT a mechanic.
Love the channel and content. Ignore anyone making comments about why you don’t do this or that. You are driving the bus and 99.7% of us are happy to be along for the ride.
Wes, I have been repairing vehicles for 48 years and nothing entertains me more than a cup of Coffee and watching you. It inspires me to get going out in my shop. Thanks from Iowa!
Wes, Eric O. has done more brake jobs than I can shake a stick at. We watch the videos for the entertainment. Doesn't matter if the jobs are repetitive. Your sense of humor and approach to the jobs are what is interesting and entertaining.
I don't watch Eric O, Ivan, Wes videos for entertainment. If you want entertainment, go to the local Ford dealership and ask to watch them work for entertainment 😅 I have learned many valuable things about how to do repairs on my own vehicle or my family. Wes, thank you for the videos. I appreciate it.
Also agree, I lost track on how many brake, wheel bearing, exhaust etc jobs since I've been watching him. Don't worry about that, it's possible Wes you may have a new viewer watching for the first time, even though it may be a little boring to you, it won't be for the new viewer.
I've been working on vehicles since I was 12 so 30 years and I'll tell you the old school brake bleeder that I learned to make from watching your videos has saved me so many headaches or delays in finishing repairs due to having to ask loved ones to help bleed brakes , thanks Wes .
when my dad started getting hard of hearing I started using a 2x4 cut that fit between the seat or steering wheel and the break pedal. pump the breaks up jam the 2x4 to hold the break pedal down. get out and crack the bleeder open. then close and repeat as necessary. repeat the process for all 4 wheels and they have always worked. so far in 35ish years I haven't had to work on the abs portion of a break system yet. so that may be a new challenge that that will expand my knowledge when the time comes that I have to tackle that job.
Saving a customer from a $3600 bill sounds pretty fantastic to me! Worthy of a video for sure. Shows that used parts don’t mean broken, and that trying is always worth it. Stop doubting it Wes, just keep posting vids. Shop looks great man!
@@pootthatbak2578 At almost 4k, it's a tough pill to swallow for a LOT of people, if you do the math with the income chart adjusted for post-pandemic days.
Love a video that starts with Wes looking distraught sat in front of an older but servicable truck; just as much as I love a video starting with Wes looking distraught sat in front of a ripped apart shop, random electronics project, or some random old heavy equipment. Just do you man, you know people like us are drawn to one another, everything you've done here has been enthralling and entertaining.
Wes, it doesn't matter what you are repairing because your content and repairs are always interesting. Keep doing what you are doing. Blessings to you, Mrs. Wes, your son and Max.
You are helping to lower inflation! There will always be a need for people like you to be there helping everybody. You are one of those who will leave this Earth a better place. Keep up your good work!
Life is hard and I like to see great people fix stuff. It braces me up so I can go to war and work on my problems that I can't afford to pay someone to fix, even if I could find them. Wes, Farmcraft, CEE, Paydirt, Diesel Creek, etc. keep me going. You moved your lift. Your drill bit video's were good and deep down everyone wants a Wes down the road from them that they can go to. Repeat or not, we like your work and love to watch it. Please, keep them coming.
Module Repair Pro in Van Nuys California will repair that module for $149 dollars. I've used them in the past and the service was great. If I'm not mistaken, the $149 covers return shipping back to you, but you still need to pay for the initial shipping to them. I had my ABS brake module back in hand about 5 days after I sent it to them. I would use them again, no question. No programming required.... you get YOUR module back.
I did the same for my 2009 F 150 a few years ago. I’m pretty sure it was the same Van Nuys company. Best money spent. I had no idea entire assembly was so expensive. No way I would have spent $3600. Truck had over 200k miles. It’s still going. 🤞🏽
I got one from a junkyard and I just reprogrammed it with un-named software that rhymes with ford and scan. 2005 ford f150 4.6 2wd, remember that when searching for modules as they are all different for configurations.
Not all ABS faults are due to a problem with the electronics module. I have the C1440 code, took the electronics module to a repair place in Riverside, CA. They found nothing wrong with it. I think the pressure transducer in my hydraulic assembly is the culprit in my case (brake pressure always reads 0 PSI).
While some may be bored of something they may have seen before, new people are tuning into your channel all the time. I encourage you to record more and worry less about repeats. The diagnostic process may be different enough in detail that it's not the same old thing.
Wes you hit the nail on the head GREED when they charge this price for a part probably made in China. Their thought is oh they want fix it they’ll buy a new car and some people will do that. I had a Dodge wheelchair van brakes would seize randomly and because it still had a purchased warranty I took it back twice to the dealer and they took it to a chain brake company they installed new brakes, calipers ect and said it needed a anti lock brake module and that it would be $5300 total not covered under the warranty. On the way home RF brake locks up I had to open the bleeder to get it moved. Turned out the brake line was blocked fixed it myself and never had another problem.
sometimes you don't need "evergreen content". Some of us are just wanting to tag along on your day and fix something... especially when we are old and disabled... Keep the content coming!
Stop doubting yourself and your content Wes. I’m sure most of us here would watch a repeat of you sharpening drill bits and still be glad we were able to do it. Was kiddo wearing clogs to fly his plane x
I personally love the mix of everything from automotive repair to building project and all that can fit in between. It's the calm and educational presenter that are doing it fun to watch.. As the channel name says "Watch Wes Work" Love to you and your family from Sweden // Micke
Hey Wes, we dont come here for new repair videos.... We come here to watch YOU (and your wonderful family) fix stuff.... I wanna Watch Wes Work... I dont care what he's workin' on! Keep those videos pumpin!!!
I couldn't put it better myself. I've been watching Wes and family for 5 years or more. Its the only repair video I can watch with interest. Go Wes and Family.
Yep totally agree, there is zero chance that I'm going to own a ford truck, let alone one where the abs module fails. I come here to hear how Wes found out what is wrong and how he fixed it. Literally to watch him work, whatever that work may be.
Wes please keep up the repair videos! I don't care if it's repetitive. Just watching you makes it worth it with your personality and humor and anecdotes. I like the farmer fixes too! The hay wagon tongue and screw auger were fun
"just throw it on the floor, it's gonna end up there anyway" made me lol Wes, I'm also self-employed and boy, I hope you're charging what you're worth. you give such incredible value to your clients; you deserve to be able to take care of yourself and your family well from your labor and expertise.
My abs module went out a year ago on my 2016 ram 1500, and I can't even get a new one, lots of class action lawsuits. Frustrating. Also happy to watch anything you put out, thanks for sharing your work with us!
The magic here is you dude. The same problems exist everywhere, but how you approach them and the reasoning behind why you perform repairs to the extent you do (not overdoing it or doing it half way) is really truly helpful.
Wes; I don't care if you're doing automotive, farm, construction equipment or the wife's dishwasher! Just you keep doing YOU! That's why most of us are here. ;-) Love your work, your ethics and your classy style.
I’m glad to see an auto repair guy go to the salvage yard to get parts and try to save the customer money. Especially with parts prices like that . Thank You
SALVAGE YARD IS NOT a great place to get parts - especially NOT electrical parts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those parts are in the WRECKING YARD FOR A REASON - and either they have been through a crash and are all shaken and stressed up with reduced service life - or they have the SAME ISSUE AS THE PART YOU NEED TO REPLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@abellseaman4114 when it comes to electronic components it really depends. These electronic components like the ABS you saw in the video is nothing more than a PCB with a proprietary connection on it. If this module survived a crash intact then it is still good to use. A crash doesn't reduce its life either exception being the pump itself however odds are if its not been touched by whatever crash occurred it is fine to use as well. The main reason a vehicle ends up in the junk yard aside from a crash is because there is something wrong with the motor, not something wrong with the electrical components. Even vehicles that have been in a crash the reason they are totalled with exceptions to the ones that are in fact just smashed to hell ( lol ) is because the price to repair exceeded the value of the vehicle. You can easily do this by breaking all the axles and all the steering components which costs approximately $10k-$15k to fix just that alone.
@@wolf2179 Your claims ARE B.S. BALONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A mechanic that I TRUST was sitting in his car some years back and got rear ended by some doofus who did not see the red light or the car sitting at the intersection......... the mechanic naturally WAS NOT AT FAULT as he was sitting stationary at the light........ so his insurance company repaired his car quite nicely - whereupon he immediately PUT THE CAR UP FOR SALE and as he explained to me - you must consider the effect of the impact on ALL the components of the vehicle - the gears, valve train, THE ELECTRONICS etc.................... EVERYTHING HAS ITS SERVICE LIFE SHORTENED BY A MAJOR IMPACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some years later I FOUND OUT THE TRUTH FOR MYSELF - having a major collision in a ford f150 and my insurance rebuilt it for me............... but in the next few years I had a variety of electrical gremlins...............various wires shorting out and components failing!!!!!!!!!! If you are SO CERTAIN that electrical stuff is shock proof then I SUGGEST YOU TAKE YOUR COMPUTER OR CELL PHONE AND THROW THEM ON THE FLOOR A FEW TIMES AND SEE HOW WELL THEY WORK AFTER THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I lived near Wes he would be the main guy working on my automobiles. Definitely very trustworthy, thorough, and a very knowledgeable mechanic. Love your videos a lot Wes, keep them up
Great video! Proves that often there is an easy work-around that won’t break the bank. Very lucky customer to have such a smart, honest and practical mechanic.
watching wes gives me that very good attitude in troubleshooting and repair which is my bread and butter. although i am not car mechanic i do pick up good behavior by watching. i am very grateful.
One of the best channels. I always learn something. Doesn't matter if it is cars or wood work, I am always happy. If others don't like it, they don't have to watch. There are other channels I gave up watching because, to be blunt, they were boring. Don't need to see 5 oil changes or 6 rotor changes.
Wes, for me, it's watching folks like you diagnose problems and going through the troubleshooting process of automotive repair. If that's switching out an O2 sensor or pulling an engine, the value for me is the same. Honestly, you could just live stream your day to day in your shop, and I'd be there. That said, this is your channel, and I'm all in. Thank you for the years of great interesting and in a lot of ways one of a kind content!
I don't care whether it's cars, tractor, machines, DIY, electronics... Whatever. YOU are the reason I'm here rather than on one of the thousand other channels where some guy "does stuff".
No apologies necessary for a repeat type of video. It’s my first time here, therefore new to me. You are a great tech and a, great teacher. Keep the videos coming.
Price gouging - yes, greed- yes. I waited 8 months for my 2018 ram 2500 2nd abs system. I was trading it the very day the service manager told me the part was in. I told him the truck was his now. We can't find repairmen like you in these repair places or dealership shops. Fantastic video and repair.
Wes, I got a job this summer working for a landscaper as a mechanic. I spent my whole summer working on Fords, mostly clapped out 6.0 powerstrokes with over 200k miles. I have an all new respect for your work! Keep up the good videos.
Nice work keep it up!! We always say the middle class is dying. But When we can't work on our cars and truck and the bill is so high just for parts, thats the middle class paying to die. You sir are the few keeping the heart of this great country alive with a flicker of hope. Thanks
I do not care about repeats, your troubleshooting process, and fixing the broken part and seeing it good again is what gives me satisfaction. I am tired of all my favorite creators chasing subscribers/views. Just keep doing what brought me here and we will be ok. Now saying that at 75 and having seen the world turn upside down I may be wishing for something not attainable. Who cares about what I want, except for me maybe. What ever you do is up to you and if you make a mistake I am sure you will be told by some keyboard commando from his mom's basement.
I'm a dealer tech and i have been able to swap multiple hcu blocks to the original module. That was a weird one. Oh and we'd watch you do the same things over and over again. It's not the content, it's your attitude and approach to the jobs that's bringing the views
I have no intention of ever owning another ford, but this is just great knowledge transfer for me. Loved it. thank you for your content. great camera and angles also. no music, no foolishness.
Regarding repeating topics, the thing that I appreciate most about your videos is the process you go through. You aren't just good at troubleshooting, but you're also good at explaining how you approach the diagnosis. I heard you say that you're looking for "evergreen" content, but watching your process gets me thinking about troubleshooting in a way that I am unlikely to come up with on my own. The repetition helps me learn, so even if the topic of the issue is familiar, the 'reps' still help me follow your thought process and build my own mental muscle. In any case, I appreciate what you do and look forward to seeing how you approach things.
I love learning about Wes' troubleshooting process. It helps me to better understand engines and what mechanics do without needing to spend any of the time and money finding and fixing vehicles.
@@13612 you might think differently if it literally saved your life. Because ABS and stability control have in fact saved lives. What's the rest of your life worth?
@@tim84k10 You'll need to factor in all of the extra hours you need to work to purchase and pay to keep these cars on the road and all of the health issues associated with that if you want to make a valid comparison here. Of course, you are also assuming that ABS has saved lives in the grander scheme of things. All of those driver aids have resulted in people paying less attention to their driving than at any point in history, and pedestrian deaths are at an all-time high. And then there is the ecological issue. We've got engines that last 500,000 miles and coatings that can withstand road salt but now it is computer-related issues which are totaling cars long before either of those two things happens.
New content is still new content, even if it is performing the same repair again on a different vehicle. I frequently watch a few channels that do overgrown yard makeovers for free. The reason I watch them is called ASMR I think. Anyways it doesn't really matter why I watch them. I watch your channel because you are honest and incredibly knowledgeable. You do your work because it is what makes you happy in life. You are not fake. Many times I have witnessed your efforts even going into charity, similar to the yard makeovers, going far above and beyond what would be expected. You are a blessing to the mechanical repair needs of all of your customers.
You do a great job Wes! Don't get discouraged! 296,000 people are not going to agree on everything you release, But they do watch it. You have a great variety of content! Keep up the great work.
Not true but you be you.. at times the knowledge and factory training wins.. have seen 1000s spent a dealer later fixed for 100s. But yes for most repairs, your own hands or a trusty garage is prolly abetter choice.
@@mikerhodeback9636 🤣😂🤣😂 I've owned cars for more than 50 years. Every dealership that I have ever dealt with ultimately proved itself to be a scammer. Even when, at first, they seemed to be reasonably honest. NO EXCEPTIONS.
@@stansddsthis is true, as a rule of thumb a properly run dealership earns about 75% in service; however, you have to keep in mind they are servicing vehicles for more than a year. The typical vehicle returns there for at least 3-4yrs while in warranty and that service income includes warranty work as compared to the amount made on selling vehicles which is a one and done income, not a continuing revenue stream like service is.
I for one, happen to love repeat videos of the same or similar repairs, because there is always something different that happens, and I love your commentary.
Eh, I've been subscribed for almost 4 years now I think. Can't speak for everyone but I watch your channel more because I like you, the way you discuss things and tackle problems more than for "evergreen" content. All Watch Wes content is good content, even if you end up working on the same stuff over the years.
I've got my Patreon turned on, and it is too much of a bother to turn it off. So, at least from my end, keep doing what you are doing. I watch for the personality. The content is good, as well, so keep on keeping on.
I have to say I enjoy your troubleseshooting process and root cause analysis style repair. If the videos are similar and repair similar, that is alright so long as you show the process. Thanks Wes!
Thank you for sharing your expertise with viewers, it is not only fascinating, but educational and eye opening too! Unfortunately, far too many people just replace parts instead of actually diagnosing the fault, which to my mind, as a former motorcycle mechanic and workshop owner, is what we mechanics are supposed to be able to do, diagnose the problem! It was a real pleasure to watch your rational, patient diagnosis and repair, followed by further testing. On the subject of brake bleeders, since the mid 1980's I have exclusively relied on the wonderful Mityvac Brake Bleeder. I only ever had to replace it because it got stolen! Its a lovely, simple, reliable piece of kit to have and is inexpensive. Snap On carry it, but its probably available online for a much better price. Subscribed.
Wes, what I like about watching your channel is you tell it like it is whether there be parts, the repair procedure, etc. I really enjoy your channel. Lord knows there’s a bunch of shitty short cut designs from the manufacturers.
I will literally watch you repair every single thing that comes through your shop, each repair is individual in a slight way and every time I watch one of your videos I laugh and I learn something. I think your loyal viewership/the people that have already seen your stuff will always be interested, in that sense you will never run out of content. I have seen most of your diagnosis videos multiple times and every viewing I catch something new. Please keep doing what you’re doing!
It’s not so much the repair, it’s the diagnosis and determination to repair that makes the video. Another fine job! May it hold up after a winter of salted roads!😊
Your content is always fantastic Wes. For what's it worth, I would love to see more posts of you reviving dead equipment that's been left out to rot. Always fun to see some old ass piece of whatever, brought back to life. You are doing great and keep with what your heart tells you to do. Love home as always.
As much as I love the very wide variety in your work and as useful your insights on drillbit sharpening, welding and wooden construction are for me, I really have been missing vehicle repair stuff.
Wes, no matter what kind of content you make we will watch it. Start to finish. We're not here because we like seeing Ford's get fixed or backhoes go into open heart surgery. We're here because we love your passion for what you do. You share your passion and knowledge with us, that's what keeps us coming back. I'd watch you talk about Ticonderoga number 2 pencils for 3 hours straight if you decided you wanted to. You're the best Wes!
Whatever you show us is good for me. I like your videos. I like your delivery style. I like your honesty. Some of us are old enough we wouldn’t know we seen similar content before.😅
Love your content as is Wes. I like the variety of vehicle maintenance, shop build stuff, and machining. I always think it's funny when people watch and comment for you to change content🤣 Been watching for years now and enjoy everything. I appreciate the knowledge you share and I've learned quite a bit from your channel🍻
The $3600 estimate reminded me of when my Fusion was at the local Ford dealer for its annual state safety inspection. When I picked it up, they told me they found an ATF leak, and "took the liberty of working up a repair estimate" of $413 plus tax. I repaired it myself for $21. It look less than an hour! Thanks a great video!
You probably had leaky cooler lines that they quoted new while you opted for a piece of hose or a compression fitting. Don't blame a dealer for not backyarding the repair.
Thing is Wes, even if you did the same repair on the same vehicle you'd still be watchable. It's not just your laconic style but the breadth of your knowledge that is so satisfying to see. AND... Even though you had swapped out one of these modules previously, it still threw you a curveball. As I'm in to Motorcycles... I'd personally applaud any content you can do on them.
Wes, I pretty much gave up on TV a few years back and have found a lot of interesting stuff on UA-cam ever since. My first discovery was Matt getting an old red dump truck to start and from there I found you and then Mr "Ko" (Neil Koch) and the list goes on. The things my favorites have in common is a combination of their skill sets and insights into whatever they are tackling. More importantly however it is the way each of you 'faves' engage with your audience. Being hard on yourself is a part of who you are BUT today you caused me to think about someone looking at 'products' and being confounded as to who would wear that, drink that, eat that etc etc. The point is that if the products are there someone is buying them! You have a comments section full of people who are buying what you're selling and delivering in your own special way and I thank you very much for that.
ABS controllers are nuts. I had a failure on the yaw rate sensor on my 2012 Honda Civic (hello YRS!) and the dealership wanted $2,700 for a new ABS module, and another $1,000 for installation and programming. On a Civic the YRS is part of the electronic module, and you cannot just swap the electronics on the ABS controller because they are coded to the ECU (yes, really - it is considered a safety feature. Swap the ABS and they will just not work until it is reprogrammed, and no dealership will do that). I found a place that would reflow a new YRS onto my existing ABS module. I shipped it off to them, they fixed it, and I reinstalled the same exact one. It cost $240 with shipping. No reprogramming needed. The only hiccup is it took 2 weeks for shipping since it got stopped at customs since it had to hop the Canadian border to the USA. I will say that I envy how easily you were able to get those brake lines disconnected - it was NOT fun on mine, but mine had like 140k miles on it at the time. At 220k now and still strong.
Very fine explanation of the process of troubleshooting!! I hope your customer appreciated just how much you saved him. He's lucky he didn't take it to his local Ford dealership where most rookie auto techs are forced to push new parts on customers.
Of course a lot of you-tubers don't realize that the majority of the audience are watching for entertainment not reference and don't mind watching jobs that have been done before. Sure, it would be a bit coma inducing to watch changing a battery in a Ford F150 every week but as long as there's variety in the repairs, it fulfills the entertainment factor. And that's just my two cents anyway.
I know this is your Chanel. You do what you fell you need to do. But I could watch you paint. My favorite thing you do is explain what you are doing and why. Love all your content!!!!!!!!!
Some of the dealer pricing on parts is insane no matter what brand you're working on. Great catch on this one Wes and saving the owner tons of money. These days it's almost a weekly thing with the popular UA-cam car techs fixing things for a couple hundred bucks that a dealer want thousands to fix because they won't take the time to do a proper diagnosis and just want to fire a very expensive parts cannon. Eric O, Rainman Ray, FordBossMe, WrenchingWithKenny and I think Brian at BSG/FordTechMakuloko has too. Love that there are still honest techs out there not ripping customers off!!
on other channels i have no issue watching the 20th carburetor rebuild or magneto adjustment. Wes, perhaps do a second channel "watch wes do regular jobs" ;-)
Great modern mechanic. When I was a mechanic and had to work on my own or family and friend’s cars, I would often buy used parts from the scrap yard. Saved tons of money and had incredible loyalty of customers. 🤷♂️
Wes please don't be afraid of repeat automotive videos. Yours are among the best repair videos on UA-cam. Don't care if it's brakes exhaust leaf springs fuel lines or tires. We come here to watch YOU. Never forget that. It's your personality that people come here to watch as much or more than the content. This video literally made my day.
Amen!
Agreed
We come here to see you brother and how you breakdown/tackle a problem, I couldn't care less if you have made a video on it before.
You watch South Main Auto.?
He's unbelievable.
Sometimes he starts a car and within 2 or3 minutes he knows what's wrong.
A bunch of times.
100%
As the owner of that vehicle, I am extremely pleased so far with what Wes was able to do, and that I was not raped by Ford for the OEM part! I feel lucky to live so close in proximity to such a thorough & well versed mechanic. He is a true mechanic, not a technician throwing Parts at the problem.
It's good to see that there are still honest and skillful people in the trade.
Hope you gave him a nice tip for saving all that money on the part
Did you buy that truck from auction??? Looks like one of our old ones…
Was he Able to Clear the Code? Looks like it Still says Service Advancetrac??
I'm envious of you, having a great mechanic and a honest man is a rarity.
I don't watch for the specific content. I watch to learn your problem solving techniques, which are first class.
This is the way

Wes, Eric O. has done more brake jobs than I can shake a stick at. We watch the videos for the entertainment. Doesn't matter if the jobs are repetitive.
Your sense of humor and approach to the jobs are what is interesting and entertaining.
Agreed!
I don't watch Eric O, Ivan, Wes videos for entertainment.
If you want entertainment, go to the local Ford dealership and ask to watch them work for entertainment 😅
I have learned many valuable things about how to do repairs on my own vehicle or my family.
Wes, thank you for the videos. I appreciate it.
I can say I happily watched his recent video about replacing car batteries.
It's definitely more about the personality of the presenter.
Also agree, I lost track on how many brake, wheel bearing, exhaust etc jobs since I've been watching him. Don't worry about that, it's possible Wes you may have a new viewer watching for the first time, even though it may be a little boring to you, it won't be for the new viewer.
This!! No matter the content, your channel is always worth watching!
Whatever you make Wes I will watch. After watching UA-cam for many years I've realised it's the personality of honest guys that makes them watchable.
❤❤❤!
Well said....
Same here
Ditto and a few more words for the algorithm to take notice of.
Yep 🎯
I've been working on vehicles since I was 12 so 30 years and I'll tell you the old school brake bleeder that I learned to make from watching your videos has saved me so many headaches or delays in finishing repairs due to having to ask loved ones to help bleed brakes , thanks Wes .
when my dad started getting hard of hearing I started using a 2x4 cut that fit between the seat or steering wheel and the break pedal. pump the breaks up jam the 2x4 to hold the break pedal down. get out and crack the bleeder open. then close and repeat as necessary. repeat the process for all 4 wheels and they have always worked. so far in 35ish years I haven't had to work on the abs portion of a break system yet. so that may be a new challenge that that will expand my knowledge when the time comes that I have to tackle that job.
No drama, practical jokes, unnecessary filler…just explaining how to fix vehicles. Subscribed!
Saving a customer from a $3600 bill sounds pretty fantastic to me! Worthy of a video for sure. Shows that used parts don’t mean broken, and that trying is always worth it.
Stop doubting it Wes, just keep posting vids. Shop looks great man!
Wes is practically a hero! HE SAVED the customet one months salary..IF YOU HAVE A GOOD JOB😮
Apparently Wes doesn’t understand this basic concept. Fool!!

You will be amazed.
Farmcraft and Wes are two real inspirations for me.
I've been a mechanic for almost 50 years, and i'm still learning something everytime i watch your videos. They're entertaining as well.
Module Repair Pro in Van Nuys California will repair that module for $149 dollars. I've used them in the past and the service was great. If I'm not mistaken, the $149 covers return shipping back to you, but you still need to pay for the initial shipping to them. I had my ABS brake module back in hand about 5 days after I sent it to them. I would use them again, no question. No programming required.... you get YOUR module back.
I did the same for my 2009 F 150 a few years ago. I’m pretty sure it was the same Van Nuys company. Best money spent. I had no idea entire assembly was so expensive. No way I would have spent $3600. Truck had over 200k miles. It’s still going. 🤞🏽
I got one from a junkyard and I just reprogrammed it with un-named software that rhymes with ford and scan. 2005 ford f150 4.6 2wd, remember that when searching for modules as they are all different for configurations.
He got a working module for half that and potentially same day.
@@D2O2 this comment isn't for Wes' eyes only
Not all ABS faults are due to a problem with the electronics module. I have the C1440 code, took the electronics module to a repair place in Riverside, CA. They found nothing wrong with it. I think the pressure transducer in my hydraulic assembly is the culprit in my case (brake pressure always reads 0 PSI).
While some may be bored of something they may have seen before, new people are tuning into your channel all the time. I encourage you to record more and worry less about repeats. The diagnostic process may be different enough in detail that it's not the same old thing.
Wes you hit the nail on the head GREED when they charge this price for a part probably made in China. Their thought is oh they want fix it they’ll buy a new car and some people will do that.
I had a Dodge wheelchair van brakes would seize randomly and because it still had a purchased warranty I took it back twice to the dealer and they took it to a chain brake company they installed new brakes, calipers ect and said it needed a anti lock brake module and that it would be $5300 total not covered under the warranty. On the way home RF brake locks up I had to open the bleeder to get it moved. Turned out the brake line was blocked fixed it myself and never had another problem.
You just keep talking and filming, we will just keep watching and listening. Thanks again for all the great honest and wholesome entertainment.
Yep i like it because it's like hanging out with that smart mate who hasn't let it go to his head
sometimes you don't need "evergreen content". Some of us are just wanting to tag along on your day and fix something... especially when we are old and disabled... Keep the content coming!
Stop doubting yourself and your content Wes. I’m sure most of us here would watch a repeat of you sharpening drill bits and still be glad we were able to do it. Was kiddo wearing clogs to fly his plane x
I personally love the mix of everything from automotive repair to building project and all that can fit in between. It's the calm and educational presenter that are doing it fun to watch.. As the channel name says "Watch Wes Work" Love to you and your family from Sweden // Micke
Don't change a thing. I watch your videos to marvel at your skill and to enjoy seeing the stuff get repaired!
Hey Wes, we dont come here for new repair videos.... We come here to watch YOU (and your wonderful family) fix stuff.... I wanna Watch Wes Work... I dont care what he's workin' on! Keep those videos pumpin!!!
I couldn't put it better myself. I've been watching Wes and family for 5 years or more. Its the only repair video I can watch with interest. Go Wes and Family.
This!
Yep totally agree, there is zero chance that I'm going to own a ford truck, let alone one where the abs module fails. I come here to hear how Wes found out what is wrong and how he fixed it. Literally to watch him work, whatever that work may be.
I live in Fin, I drive ev and never will own pickup and still like to watch these videos because of Wes
Just keep putting out the videos, I don't care if you are washing the dog. You are in my opinon one of the best mechanics around. Thanks, Wes
Idc what you do… automobiles or anything else, you always make it interesting to watch. Thank you sir keep on keeping on!!!
Wes please keep up the repair videos! I don't care if it's repetitive. Just watching you makes it worth it with your personality and humor and anecdotes. I like the farmer fixes too! The hay wagon tongue and screw auger were fun
"just throw it on the floor, it's gonna end up there anyway" made me lol
Wes, I'm also self-employed and boy, I hope you're charging what you're worth. you give such incredible value to your clients; you deserve to be able to take care of yourself and your family well from your labor and expertise.
My abs module went out a year ago on my 2016 ram 1500, and I can't even get a new one, lots of class action lawsuits. Frustrating. Also happy to watch anything you put out, thanks for sharing your work with us!
Typical ford dealership tried to upsell my 2015 f150
The magic here is you dude. The same problems exist everywhere, but how you approach them and the reasoning behind why you perform repairs to the extent you do (not overdoing it or doing it half way) is really truly helpful.
Wes; I don't care if you're doing automotive, farm, construction equipment or the wife's dishwasher!
Just you keep doing YOU! That's why most of us are here. ;-)
Love your work, your ethics and your classy style.
Cringe
I’m glad to see an auto repair guy go to the salvage yard to get parts and try to save the customer money. Especially with parts prices like that . Thank You
SALVAGE YARD IS NOT a great place to get parts - especially NOT electrical parts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those parts are in the WRECKING YARD FOR A REASON - and either they have been through a crash and are all shaken and stressed up with reduced service life - or they have the SAME ISSUE AS THE PART YOU NEED TO REPLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@abellseaman4114 when it comes to electronic components it really depends. These electronic components like the ABS you saw in the video is nothing more than a PCB with a proprietary connection on it. If this module survived a crash intact then it is still good to use. A crash doesn't reduce its life either exception being the pump itself however odds are if its not been touched by whatever crash occurred it is fine to use as well. The main reason a vehicle ends up in the junk yard aside from a crash is because there is something wrong with the motor, not something wrong with the electrical components. Even vehicles that have been in a crash the reason they are totalled with exceptions to the ones that are in fact just smashed to hell ( lol ) is because the price to repair exceeded the value of the vehicle. You can easily do this by breaking all the axles and all the steering components which costs approximately $10k-$15k to fix just that alone.
@@wolf2179 Your claims ARE B.S. BALONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A mechanic that I TRUST was sitting in his car some years back and got rear ended by some doofus who did not see the red light or the car sitting at the intersection.........
the mechanic naturally WAS NOT AT FAULT as he was sitting stationary at the light........
so his insurance company repaired his car quite nicely - whereupon he immediately PUT THE CAR UP FOR SALE and as he explained to me - you must consider the effect of the impact on ALL the components of the vehicle - the gears, valve train, THE ELECTRONICS etc....................
EVERYTHING HAS ITS SERVICE LIFE SHORTENED BY A MAJOR IMPACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some years later I FOUND OUT THE TRUTH FOR MYSELF - having a major collision in a ford f150 and my insurance rebuilt it for me...............
but in the next few years I had a variety of electrical gremlins...............various wires shorting out and components failing!!!!!!!!!!
If you are SO CERTAIN that electrical stuff is shock proof then I SUGGEST YOU TAKE YOUR COMPUTER OR CELL PHONE AND THROW THEM ON THE FLOOR A FEW TIMES AND SEE HOW WELL THEY WORK AFTER THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@abellseaman4114 junk yard is the best place to go when the dealer wants 3600 usd man
If I lived near Wes he would be the main guy working on my automobiles. Definitely very trustworthy, thorough, and a very knowledgeable mechanic. Love your videos a lot Wes, keep them up
Great video! Proves that often there is an easy work-around that won’t break the bank. Very lucky customer to have such a smart, honest and practical mechanic.
Hear Wes think... I dont even fix cars but i enjoy your thought process. So anything you do, hearing you think out loud is why i watch wes work
watching wes gives me that very good attitude
in troubleshooting and repair which is my
bread and butter. although i am not car
mechanic i do pick up good behavior by
watching. i am very grateful.
One of the best channels. I always learn something. Doesn't matter if it is cars or wood work, I am always happy. If others don't like it, they don't have to watch. There are other channels I gave up watching because, to be blunt, they were boring. Don't need to see 5 oil changes or 6 rotor changes.
Wes, for me, it's watching folks like you diagnose problems and going through the troubleshooting process of automotive repair. If that's switching out an O2 sensor or pulling an engine, the value for me is the same. Honestly, you could just live stream your day to day in your shop, and I'd be there. That said, this is your channel, and I'm all in. Thank you for the years of great interesting and in a lot of ways one of a kind content!
I don't care whether it's cars, tractor, machines, DIY, electronics... Whatever. YOU are the reason I'm here rather than on one of the thousand other channels where some guy "does stuff".
The longer term viewers are here to watch YOU fix whatever you’ve got in the shop. See you’ve got the new lift installed. Good job. Keep em coming.
No apologies necessary for a repeat type of video. It’s my first time here, therefore new to me. You are a great tech and a, great teacher. Keep the videos coming.
I'll watch anything you post. Simple, straightforward, informative with your great sense of humor. Keep 'em coming Wes!!
Price gouging - yes, greed- yes. I waited 8 months for my 2018 ram 2500 2nd abs system. I was trading it the very day the service manager told me the part was in. I told him the truck was his now. We can't find repairmen like you in these repair places or dealership shops. Fantastic video and repair.
After that you bought a new Dodge?
Don't stress about it man. Most of us are here to Watch Wes Work - whatever it is you're working on.
Amen!!!
Wes, I got a job this summer working for a landscaper as a mechanic. I spent my whole summer working on Fords, mostly clapped out 6.0 powerstrokes with over 200k miles. I have an all new respect for your work! Keep up the good videos.
Nice work keep it up!! We always say the middle class is dying. But When we can't work on our cars and truck and the bill is so high just for parts, thats the middle class paying to die. You sir are the few keeping the heart of this great country alive with a flicker of hope. Thanks
Great comment
"It's on the floor. I'll wind up there anyway" TOO funny, and absolutely TRUE!
I'll gladly watch you work on any rusty junk even if I have seen it before.
I do not care about repeats, your troubleshooting process, and fixing the broken part and seeing it good again is what gives me satisfaction. I am tired of all my favorite creators chasing subscribers/views. Just keep doing what brought me here and we will be ok. Now saying that at 75 and having seen the world turn upside down I may be wishing for something not attainable. Who cares about what I want, except for me maybe. What ever you do is up to you and if you make a mistake I am sure you will be told by some keyboard commando from his mom's basement.
I'm a dealer tech and i have been able to swap multiple hcu blocks to the original module. That was a weird one. Oh and we'd watch you do the same things over and over again. It's not the content, it's your attitude and approach to the jobs that's bringing the views
I've done it several times too. I don't have an explanation.
I have no intention of ever owning another ford, but this is just great knowledge transfer for me. Loved it. thank you for your content. great camera and angles also. no music, no foolishness.
I don’t know why the algorithm brought me to your channel, but I’m glad it gets it right sometimes… new subscriber
Me as well.
Me too!
I don’t think it’s the content of the video, it’s the way you make it easy to follow and understand.
👏🤞👍🙏🚙
Regarding repeating topics, the thing that I appreciate most about your videos is the process you go through. You aren't just good at troubleshooting, but you're also good at explaining how you approach the diagnosis. I heard you say that you're looking for "evergreen" content, but watching your process gets me thinking about troubleshooting in a way that I am unlikely to come up with on my own. The repetition helps me learn, so even if the topic of the issue is familiar, the 'reps' still help me follow your thought process and build my own mental muscle. In any case, I appreciate what you do and look forward to seeing how you approach things.
UK here, WWW is worth watching whatever you are repairing, thanks.
I love learning about Wes' troubleshooting process. It helps me to better understand engines and what mechanics do without needing to spend any of the time and money finding and fixing vehicles.
I miss the old days,no electronics. Cars were easy and fun to work on.
exactly...this new nonsense is not worth what it winds up costing you if it breaks.
@@13612 you might think differently if it literally saved your life. Because ABS and stability control have in fact saved lives. What's the rest of your life worth?
@@tim84k10 $3600
@@tim84k10 You'll need to factor in all of the extra hours you need to work to purchase and pay to keep these cars on the road and all of the health issues associated with that if you want to make a valid comparison here. Of course, you are also assuming that ABS has saved lives in the grander scheme of things. All of those driver aids have resulted in people paying less attention to their driving than at any point in history, and pedestrian deaths are at an all-time high.
And then there is the ecological issue. We've got engines that last 500,000 miles and coatings that can withstand road salt but now it is computer-related issues which are totaling cars long before either of those two things happens.
I'm looking for any 1960s Chrysler product with a slant-six as my last vehicle. There are still thousands of Model Ts on the road and they get 24mpg.
New content is still new content, even if it is performing the same repair again on a different vehicle. I frequently watch a few channels that do overgrown yard makeovers for free. The reason I watch them is called ASMR I think. Anyways it doesn't really matter why I watch them. I watch your channel because you are honest and incredibly knowledgeable. You do your work because it is what makes you happy in life. You are not fake. Many times I have witnessed your efforts even going into charity, similar to the yard makeovers, going far above and beyond what would be expected. You are a blessing to the mechanical repair needs of all of your customers.
You do a great job Wes! Don't get discouraged! 296,000 people are not going to agree on everything you release, But they do watch it. You have a great variety of content! Keep up the great work.
NEVER EVER take a vehicle to a dealership for repair. Unless it is solely for Warranty work. NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE your channel!!!
Not true but you be you.. at times the knowledge and factory training wins.. have seen 1000s spent a dealer later fixed for 100s. But yes for most repairs, your own hands or a trusty garage is prolly abetter choice.
@@mikerhodeback9636 🤣😂🤣😂 I've owned cars for more than 50 years. Every dealership that I have ever dealt with ultimately proved itself to be a scammer. Even when, at first, they seemed to be reasonably honest. NO EXCEPTIONS.
I have to agree, dealerships don't make much money on the sale of a vehicle, but the service center is the profit center.
@@mikerhodeback9636...why did you disagree and then immediately disprove your own point?
@@stansddsthis is true, as a rule of thumb a properly run dealership earns about 75% in service; however, you have to keep in mind they are servicing vehicles for more than a year. The typical vehicle returns there for at least 3-4yrs while in warranty and that service income includes warranty work as compared to the amount made on selling vehicles which is a one and done income, not a continuing revenue stream like service is.
I love whatever you put out here. I never get tired of learning from you.
I for one, happen to love repeat videos of the same or similar repairs, because there is always something different that happens, and I love your commentary.
Eh, I've been subscribed for almost 4 years now I think. Can't speak for everyone but I watch your channel more because I like you, the way you discuss things and tackle problems more than for "evergreen" content. All Watch Wes content is good content, even if you end up working on the same stuff over the years.
I've got my Patreon turned on, and it is too much of a bother to turn it off. So, at least from my end, keep doing what you are doing.
I watch for the personality. The content is good, as well, so keep on keeping on.
I have to say I enjoy your troubleseshooting process and root cause analysis style repair. If the videos are similar and repair similar, that is alright so long as you show the process. Thanks Wes!
Thank you for sharing your expertise with viewers, it is not only fascinating, but educational and eye opening too!
Unfortunately, far too many people just replace parts instead of actually diagnosing the fault, which to my mind, as a former motorcycle mechanic and workshop owner, is what we mechanics are supposed to be able to do, diagnose the problem!
It was a real pleasure to watch your rational, patient diagnosis and repair, followed by further testing.
On the subject of brake bleeders, since the mid 1980's I have exclusively relied on the wonderful Mityvac Brake Bleeder.
I only ever had to replace it because it got stolen!
Its a lovely, simple, reliable piece of kit to have and is inexpensive.
Snap On carry it, but its probably available online for a much better price.

Wes, what I like about watching your channel is you tell it like it is whether there be parts, the repair procedure, etc. I really enjoy your channel. Lord knows there’s a bunch of shitty short cut designs from the manufacturers.
I will literally watch you repair every single thing that comes through your shop, each repair is individual in a slight way and every time I watch one of your videos I laugh and I learn something. I think your loyal viewership/the people that have already seen your stuff will always be interested, in that sense you will never run out of content. I have seen most of your diagnosis videos multiple times and every viewing I catch something new. Please keep doing what you’re doing!
It’s so nice having Wes working on a modern truck
It’s not so much the repair, it’s the diagnosis and determination to repair that makes the video. Another fine job! May it hold up after a winter of salted roads!😊
The explanation for the cost of the new part is very easy to explain......................PURE GREED.
Your content is always fantastic Wes. For what's it worth, I would love to see more posts of you reviving dead equipment that's been left out to rot. Always fun to see some old ass piece of whatever, brought back to life. You are doing great and keep with what your heart tells you to do. Love home as always.
Your the real deal, a man with integrity and honesty, and definitely a happy customer! Don't mind if you make a few similar topic videos at all.
As much as I love the very wide variety in your work and as useful your insights on drillbit sharpening, welding and wooden construction are for me, I really have been missing vehicle repair stuff.
Wes, no matter what kind of content you make we will watch it. Start to finish. We're not here because we like seeing Ford's get fixed or backhoes go into open heart surgery. We're here because we love your passion for what you do. You share your passion and knowledge with us, that's what keeps us coming back. I'd watch you talk about Ticonderoga number 2 pencils for 3 hours straight if you decided you wanted to. You're the best Wes!
I just like Watching Wes Work, regardless of what Wes Works on. Thanks for making videos where we can watch you work!
This has to be the easiest video that I have seen you post. No rust and nothing breaking. I wish you had this kind of luck all the time.
Whatever you show us is good for me. I like your videos. I like your delivery style. I like your honesty. Some of us are old enough we wouldn’t know we seen similar content before.😅
Love your content as is Wes. I like the variety of vehicle maintenance, shop build stuff, and machining. I always think it's funny when people watch and comment for you to change content🤣 Been watching for years now and enjoy everything. I appreciate the knowledge you share and I've learned quite a bit from your channel🍻
The $3600 estimate reminded me of when my Fusion was at the local Ford dealer for its annual state safety inspection. When I picked it up, they told me they found an ATF leak, and "took the liberty of working up a repair estimate" of $413 plus tax. I repaired it myself for $21. It look less than an hour! Thanks a great video!
You probably had leaky cooler lines that they quoted new while you opted for a piece of hose or a compression fitting. Don't blame a dealer for not backyarding the repair.
Thing is Wes, even if you did the same repair on the same vehicle you'd still be watchable. It's not just your laconic style but the breadth of your knowledge that is so satisfying to see. AND... Even though you had swapped out one of these modules previously, it still threw you a curveball. As I'm in to Motorcycles... I'd personally applaud any content you can do on them.
Wes, I pretty much gave up on TV a few years back and have found a lot of interesting stuff on UA-cam ever since. My first discovery was Matt getting an old red dump truck to start and from there I found you and then Mr "Ko" (Neil Koch) and the list goes on. The things my favorites have in common is a combination of their skill sets and insights into whatever they are tackling. More importantly however it is the way each of you 'faves' engage with your audience. Being hard on yourself is a part of who you are BUT today you caused me to think about someone looking at 'products' and being confounded as to who would wear that, drink that, eat that etc etc. The point is that if the products are there someone is buying them! You have a comments section full of people who are buying what you're selling and delivering in your own special way and I thank you very much for that.
As everyone said you can make the same repair videos im still watching and I find the repair the most entertaining
Wes we don't care what your videos are. You're videos are always entertaining and often educational. Thanks.👍👍
Your channel is called WATCH WES WORK. I like you and your growing family. I would enjoy watching Wes do just about anything. God bless you.
Yes, we know what his channel is called 😂
@@Havok135 I like to watch Wes work.
ABS controllers are nuts. I had a failure on the yaw rate sensor on my 2012 Honda Civic (hello YRS!) and the dealership wanted $2,700 for a new ABS module, and another $1,000 for installation and programming. On a Civic the YRS is part of the electronic module, and you cannot just swap the electronics on the ABS controller because they are coded to the ECU (yes, really - it is considered a safety feature. Swap the ABS and they will just not work until it is reprogrammed, and no dealership will do that).
I found a place that would reflow a new YRS onto my existing ABS module. I shipped it off to them, they fixed it, and I reinstalled the same exact one. It cost $240 with shipping. No reprogramming needed. The only hiccup is it took 2 weeks for shipping since it got stopped at customs since it had to hop the Canadian border to the USA.
I will say that I envy how easily you were able to get those brake lines disconnected - it was NOT fun on mine, but mine had like 140k miles on it at the time. At 220k now and still strong.
There is no guesswork, when watching Wes Work.....forget about it. Thank you Sir.❤
Very fine explanation of the process of troubleshooting!! I hope your customer appreciated just how much you saved him. He's lucky he didn't take it to his local Ford dealership where most rookie auto techs are forced to push new parts on customers.
Of course a lot of you-tubers don't realize that the majority of the audience are watching for entertainment not reference and don't mind watching jobs that have been done before. Sure, it would be a bit coma inducing to watch changing a battery in a Ford F150 every week but as long as there's variety in the repairs, it fulfills the entertainment factor.
And that's just my two cents anyway.
I know this is your Chanel. You do what you fell you need to do. But I could watch you paint. My favorite thing you do is explain what you are doing and why. Love all your content!!!!!!!!!
Chanel is what parts suppliers that charge what they charge wear 😆😆
@@Me-zo8yc I agree....mostly. I really don't want to watch Wes paint.
Chanel? Perfume?
That’s life in a rural repair shop, you get what you get. I’d still watch if you were peeling potato’s.
Not sure i would have clicked on that actually
Red potatoes,that we grew
Some of the dealer pricing on parts is insane no matter what brand you're working on. Great catch on this one Wes and saving the owner tons of money. These days it's almost a weekly thing with the popular UA-cam car techs fixing things for a couple hundred bucks that a dealer want thousands to fix because they won't take the time to do a proper diagnosis and just want to fire a very expensive parts cannon. Eric O, Rainman Ray, FordBossMe, WrenchingWithKenny and I think Brian at BSG/FordTechMakuloko has too. Love that there are still honest techs out there not ripping customers off!!
I always enjoy your great diag videos, no I never tire of any of your offerings.

Great modern mechanic. When I was a mechanic and had to work on my own or family and friend’s cars, I would often buy used parts from the scrap yard. Saved tons of money and had incredible loyalty of customers. 🤷♂️
