As a Harley guy and a car guy of 57 years young.! I love the fact that you include the animals a little in your videos. Keep up the awesome content and banter with one another. We / I am sure all appreciate it beyond your comprehension!
The two of you have such a great chemistry together, you also are so happy and positive. It's uplifting to watch your videos. Great diagnostics Aaron!!!!!!!
We sure do appreciate that, Larry!!
I loved it when Aaron was sportin that farmer tan . I'm glad I'm not the only one that has one . Y'all are great together . Keep the videos coming .
I love your chemistry together and your long videos, I hope for more!
You two are so down to earth showing the problems and mistakes, love it, thank you for your videos 👍😁❤️
I feel blessed being the oldest one in the shop and still the only one who lay under a dash wiring the car all day. but, I am not so sure I was that smart starting a career as a mechanic at 53. Watching Emily sit all hunched over under the truck makes my neck hurt.
You only need to pull the bottom bolt out of the injector. The retainer rocks up and slides away to pull the injector without pulling the top bolt. Those oil deflectors for the injector are used to keep the exhaust oil from wearing a hole in the valve cover gaskets or blowing oil under the gasket.
Nice diagnosis Aaron. Nice to see you giving the Ford truck a new lease of life. Nice quality Banks upgrades. I like that Banks are emissions compliant and have data to back their products.
I'm sorry you spent an unnecessary $300, but I'm glad you showed me how to properly change an injector and test the gasket/harness in case I ever need to on mine. That was very interesting. Thank you both....and Finley too. Be safe!
Murphy's Law Never disappoints! "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong, and at the worst possible time." GG Guys! Great Video and Thanks for sharing!
I have been wrenching for decades but am not a diesel mechanic. I learned something today. Thanks
"Its just nuts how cold it is" had me laughing so hard seeing the nuts in the air box 😂
Sparkly rear diff fluid... It needed a change. Great video. Love everything you two do.
I noticed the sparkles also. And the color of the gear oil looked off. Might have a plugged vent.
Im here for the kittens.
NICE! I love the video so much! Thanks for being you❣ The time spending with you was AWESOME! Both of you have very pretty eyes!
Aaron really knows how to work that pipe. Yeah, I caught that one.😂
Great video, always enjoy watching you two working, always learn something , love you all ❤❤❤❤
Superb work finding and sorting out the misfire ,Who needs a scanner to find a fault ,your doing it the proper mechanics way .
Holy Shiet! An hour? Gotta make popcorn!!!
Sorry/welcome!!!!! 🤣🙏🏼💪🏼🫵🏻
C.J is in the house..Hello Mama !!!!!
52:30 mentions youtube comments trolling the gripmat. Seconds later, the vaccum pump unleashes an unprovoked frontal assault, and the gripmat indeed stands it's ground and holds the position well! 😂😂
HAHAHAHAH that’s HILARIOUS!! And so TRUE!! The dang things are GREAT 😂
I retired from Dow Chemical in Freeport, Texas. They too use microbes. It was a plant called the "Bio Ponds" we just called it the "Bug Pond." All the wastewater from all the plants went to the Bio-Ponds before being released to the river after the outfall was analyzed of course. If the "bugs" in the pond got sick, the entire Plant-B Division may have to be shutdown which would cost millions of dollars. They took loving care of the "bugs."
This is awesome!!!!!
That’s very interesting!
I was born in Freeport Tx. I worked sum in dow, but mostly basf. I live in Danbury Tx now. Basf had a bug pond too, but they called it a bug farn!
@@neoncatfish4038 My Mom lived on the corner of Ave H and something in Danbury for a longtime. Yep, all I guess all the plants had to have a way to clean up the wastewater before discharging out.
@@neoncatfish4038 I live in Alvin and we get our fish to stock our pond at the Danbury fish farm! Small world
Thats a great setup!! Can't wait to see all the new content with it!!
Em it was really cool watchin you put that diff cover on in the dark because usually when I'm workin on my truck it's dark and looks just like that.My garage doesn't have lights right now because someone cut all the wires out of it. Gotta love Belmead! Love and hugs from Waco.😁
Hint, slide the clamp on over the pipe first and well down the pipe out of the way. Then slide the boot on over the lip on the pipe. Then slide the clamp back into the correct position. Yes they can be a pain. 😊
I learned something today - fit all the pipework before fitting the intercooler!! 👍✌
Yes I remember the gear oil smell for sure. Worse is the old special posi oil they used in my 66 Chevelle! Years ago I accumulated an assortment of various sizes, lengths and thread pitch bolts, cut the heads off and use them to align and help hold parts like that cover in place until I can get the bolts in. Often makes those jobs easier. I've bought rebuilt water pumps for a small block Chevy that had the impeller installed backward so it happens! Good work on all of those jobs!
to stop the squirrels/ critters leaving you lovely stashes of nuts if you put some wire mesh over the snorkel intake pipe of the air box it will stop them crawling up it. just need a small mesh size. basically as long as a pencil doesn't fit through then its good. as mice apparently have deformable skulls and if a pencil fits, they fit.
It's funny how we dread getting into something thinking it's going to be hard & it turns out so easy. You definitley found it checking exhaust temps tho.
Like the attitude you can do it youself.
And I can google that. And cool ya show basic mechanic diesel.
Neay
Can I just say THANK YOU! for putting the exhaust out the side! If you're going to trailer with a truck, the last thing you want is the exhaust blowing at you while you're hitching things up. I know it's the appearance fad these days, and even most factory trucks are coming with that, but it just doesn't make sense to me.
That truck upgrade is a real wonder! A nutless wonder😂😅😂!
Man, those acorns hung out for a minute 😂. For real though, the OBS is sounding so good.
Some things just make you laugh when you see them so they were hard to say goodbye to 😂😂😂
Blessings from New Zealand
Nice job. Good info . You and your wife work together like my wife and I do
7.3 content, sweet video you two
The smell of burned atf is one I’ll never forget. 😊
1:40
IM all for videos smooth and slow movements .
TV is filled with jerky zooming to catch the viewers attention but results only in eyestrain.
I applaud you miss.
Defo a good thing to aim for ( no pun intended)
Happy to see the OBS getting some love!
For anyone that doesn’t know, FORScan is a fantastic program for diagnostics on a 7.3 or any OBD 2 Ford vehicle. Free/chrap to download to a laptop or the lite version on your phone to have on the road. Just have to buy the adapter
I've seen dino and synthetic from the same brand not play nice with each other and sludge an engine. Some goober I know was using 3 quarts conventional and 3 quarts synthetic to make a "custom" blend in their new LS and changed oil every 3000. That was a real mess when they went full synthetic still with that brand and 1000 miles later all the sludge in the engine cut loose. Ever had an engine suddenly start trying to shake itself out of the mounts because 5w30 suddenly got thicker than gear oil? The engine ended up being fine but still scary. That truck was traded 30,000 miles later with 44k on it still running perfect. Only makes sense that it could happen with diff oil too. That's why I always tell people to pick an oil and stick with it. And I'm so glad I wasn't able to smell that old diff oil because it seems like the more beat up it is the worse it smells. BTW, I'm in my 40's now and get reminded that I'm not as durable and flexible as I used to be. Take care of yourself now because that will make a huge difference in how your body works later.
Been Subscribed for years! Like to see my fellow Texans make good!
Aaron, in your shoes, I first swap that injector 10 out of 10 times too. That's the way she goes sometimes my dude. At any rate GOOD JOB!
Also, and I say this in the most Christian way possible, the inuendo in the latter half of this episode is THICK! I loved it! 😂😂
😂😂😂🙈🙈🙈😜😜😜
Those 7.3’s are indestructible. Brother law had a non turbocharged with 400000 miles then added a banks kit. Still kicking!
Congratulations Emma and Arron
Gotta enjoy Aaron’s humor. Thanks dude for the subtlety.
Heck ya you two been tougher dating since teens. Didn’t know that.
Ya know Emily. Saw ya while ago on pikes with Derrick.
Good ya guys ya mini UA-cam family.
And Adrian. Ya long time ago 777.
Moving the camera that much bugged me too, but I didn't want to criticize. Thanks for your videos.
Well, you ARE Flying Sparks Garage! :)
Great job on the diesel and I Love to see Mr.Finley supervising as well,❤LoveJim J&R mobile service and God Bless y'all and your critters
Hey guys it’s Louis again. Unfortunately I was late getting to watch the vid because I’m having to watch it from my hospital bed. Have a second rather serious long issues. Nevertheless I enjoyed the bed and I’m glad you got the truck running I know you guys are tickled pink over it. As always it was a joy getting to watch U2 to work together. Glad to see mom back in the shop in Finley doing his part. Lol. You guys just keep up the good work and a good foods, looking forward to the next one. Take care God bless love you too.
Sending healing prayers to you, Louis!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 You support means so much to us ❤
@@flyingsparksgarage I just received my Roxy GTO T-shirt, looks great. Plan on ordering another one, I’m not sure if it’s going to be Garfield or just the flying sprks tee. God bless you both take care love you guys
Banks parts are super quality. I have all the same type of parts on my 07 LBZ duramax. Worth every penny.
Remember that part synthetic oil was sold a lot before full synthetic became the required by the manuals.
Findley: i'm a terrier, everything is mine!
Great 7.3 video. Rolled over 1/4 million miles on mine and will keep it for life. Don't know about your truck but just had to replace o'rings on the oil/water cooler. Hard as rocks and puked oil on a cold start.
Aaron took us to the Gun Show. 😂😂
We are subscribed Windsor Ontario. Canada, watching you guys are great.
Team
Thanks so much y’all!!!
So nice to see you guys make a great team 😊
I love watching you both. You helped get me through Covid!
I keep going back and forth on whether to keep my 95 regular cab long bed or sell it. These vids make me want to keep it.
I had one of theses trucks can’t remember what year it was but it was just like this one. I think a 97.
I had to change valve cover gaskets for a dead cylinder the injector wires went thru the gaskets one was bad, they said it is common problem. Injectors started failing later. So I had change a bunch of those, in those days they were like 8000.00 each at the parts store. I don’t drive any more of Ford diesels. Only a Cummins man now. I wanted one of these trucks a long time before I got one, owned it a couple of years and sold it. Went back to Dodge. But I always liked the look and sound of these trucks mine was early Power Stroke 5 speed manual and 4x4 extended cab. Cab lights and Green in color. One thing I didn’t like was with out aggressive tires it didn’t do well in mud. Got stuck easy, even on hard but muddy ground.
They can be hard to start in cold weather. Cummins is a drastic opposite difference.
But man will they run, very quick. In 5th it would run faster than I wanted to drive it. 4 th will show you over 100.
When you removed the nuts from the air cleaner, that really sucked. 😂
Love that outro look, it is good on you
Another good one 👍👍
That rear differential looks like it had a bit of water in it. Clean it out real good and it should be just fine, be sure to check the rear differential vent.
Great job on the Banks install
Yep time and patients & fixing the miss
Aaron is a diesel mechanic? A Caterpillar diesel mechanic!
As always, awesome video! Glad you got that miss worked out. Can’t wait to see this truck doing truck things!
I was taken back by the large red thing being swung at the camera in the beginning
I like the red hoses! nice...
hello with you two. I think it's super exciting to see what you do and do. I wish I had someone like you to teach me how to do things when I was doing my education. you are super good at showing what you do, you do it in a fun way and you get something out of it that you can use for something, and you show that it is ok to make a mistake. thank you for taking time to show it. you are both fantastic👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That’s certainly our goal! Sure do thank you for watching, commenting and showing support ❤
Congratulations
Thanks for sharing this adventure with us (especially since it was more than you had been expecting)!
Love the music with your video keep up the good work😊😊😊😊😊
We love hearing that!!
If you haven't noticed yet, those tires will ware down fast. I had a set and made 25k miles before they were done. Now I'm running the toyo M920s and have about 80k on them. Lots of life left. I enjoy the builds!
I enjoy watching your videos you guys make great content and you guys are very nice people
Last time I popped the diff cover off to drain into a metal trash can I heard the rather disturbing sound of gear teeth falling out, from 6ft in the air on the lift. Not to mention lots of "lovely" sparkles. I'd cleaned all the teeth off the sun gears on my "HD" Holden diff.
Oh and Finlay is so dang cute.
Love this build 🎉🎉❤❤❤❤and with these motors 90% of the time it’s valve cover gasket, and the only one I’ve ever had really good luck with is always going back with Ford /international parts on those! Definitely wish I could bend like that!!😢😢❤❤
good job. really learned something unusal.
Thank you for answering, love y'alls videos .
You Guys Are Amazing! Love Your Channel!
Great video guys.
Aaron & Finley, The Shop Dudes!
Good night you all.
I love the new Diff cover. Now I want one for my OBS.
New shocks first though!
Emily, I just bought my first diesel truck 4 months ago so I’m still learning. It’s a 2021 Ram 2500 4X4. I find it interesting watching you guys working on your rig. Can’t wait to see how the upgrades turn out.
Hey Emily and Aaron 👋, great video on learning fine points on checking out things first. But that looks good. Thanks for sharing 👍
thanks
Man, I love the sound of an old 7.3!
My old 96 f 250 I replaced the turbo 3 times in 500k before I traded it in, oh 3 cluches and windshield too great video and great job with your truck and God bless from GA stay safe
Love the vids guys 👍
Only tech tip keep everything loose so it can move a little when assembling and use ‘dishwashing fluid’ inside the rubber/silicone hoses as a lubricant to help getting everything on. Dishwashing fluid doesn’t hurt the hoses. It’s what we use as a CAT dealer for all big hoses that a tight fits over the rolled edges.
You may have ‘wasted’ $300 but that was some awesome content and a great lesson for people!
Loving this content as I nearly bought a similar truck a few years ago that had been shipped to the uk and I still want one at some point so it’s great knowledge to be acquiring 👌
Big love to Finley and the kitty pack, so much cuteness!
Hey Emily remembered the catch pan this time lol
Emily & Aaron, what a great Video, i love the fact that you admitted your mistakes up front, keep up the great Videos.
Love the channel . More 7.3 videos please . Learning alot. Just got one .tryna dial it down .
Great fun as always 🎉 now Emily and Aaron have nice rear ends. Can’t wait to see the the Ford and Roxy next to each other. 😂 Gotcha.
The Turbo spools up pretty quick. I like that.
The exhaust sounds beffy now.
Love your videos
. * * * * Don't pry covers off between the bolt holes , pry under the bolt holes , you can flatten it out there , and the bolt will flatten also . No leak .
Don’t forget that Banks makes propane injection for diesel’s! 😁
Gotta love the warranties
You have a $100. part bad off the self new. You have it installed and find out it's bad. They gladly replace the part, but NOW you are paying twice for the same labor for thier bad part.
Even if your doing your own labor, it's a pain in the butt
My uncle was a QC at the rouge, one thing he told me was, just cause it's new don't mean it's right.
51:20 oh yeah, we want more.... 😜👍
Some folks might get peeved that you keep plugging products. I think it's great that you can make a living doing what you love to do. So when I see you giving air time to a corporate supporter, I think "that's beans and bacon for Auntie Em and Aaron." Keep on keepin' on!
That’s right!!!! And pretty much all these companies that we work with, we’ve been using the stuff FOR YEARS!!! Landing CRC Brakleen was like the LOTTERY!!! 😂😂😂 It’s such a huge compliment and says so much about the companies too- that they delegate marketing dollars to real people ❤❤❤ sure appreciate your perspective on this- it was a lot of years hustling making videos in hopes of what we have today 🙏🏼
@@flyingsparksgarage Rather than being envied or scorned for your success, you should be viewed as an example to emulate. I know it hasn't been, and still isn't, easy. Thanks for all your hard work; it keeps this old fart entertained.
