👟 A great pair of running shoes? ASICS...Gel Kandbarra 5. Or any of the Gel series. Been wearing ASICS for 30+ years. Enjoy! 👟
The best shoes are Hokas. They are expensive but worth it to those who use them!
you should work on 02 s/duty, mwm sprint, 4.2tdi. they never fk up..no computer, no glow plugs, mine has 700nm. german tech. built in brazil. more reliable than a dog,,or missus..im amazed what & how you fix. rust.. ausie. . a lot of 7.3,s self ignite here.. too damn hot, & they put too many accessories on them.. or not enough fuses.. have a great w/end.. we hope..
sure put a wrench on it but don't impact or try and make the click
Brooks Beast, wear like iron.
Nothing quite like an oil pan replacement video turning into a shoe repair video. :)
Ask your wife if you drag your feet when you’re walking
@vincentgotter4669 why does it matter? Asking for a friend.
better than dragging his knuckles, I guess@@vincentgotter4669
I’ve made the exact same repair technique on several pairs of work boots. Brand doesn’t matter.
Wes fixes anything and everything.
Wes is my hero. The closest thing to him suffering while working on the 6.0 oil pan is Charlton Heston's portrayal of Michelangelo painting the Sistine Chapel in The Agony and the Ecstasy.
Haven't seen that one. I was feeling like Conan the Barbarian chained to the human hamster wheel.
“Michaelangelo, when will you have an end?!!!” The Pope.
@@WatchWesWork
The reason Michaelangelo’s job took so long was because he couldn’t get batteries for his work light and Wes wouldn’t tell him the make-model of his little green worklight. ????? PLEASE!
@@Rein_Ciarfella Maxxeon MXN00812, Hivis Yellow, Workstar Cyclops USB Rechargeable LED Worklight
@Rein_Ciarfella I have the same light but with a yellow case it's a cyclops maxxeon workstar 812 model mxn00812
I can understand the previous person not replacing the connecter.
I can imagine the frustration of blindly fiddling around for way too long, finally getting the connector on, and then the storm of curses when you realize the nubs don't line up.
I would absolutely be eyeing my file and the nub on the sensor.
I don't know what you are getting paid for doing this job but I think you deserve more.
It's hard to find a mechanic that knows his way around electronics at your level.
I really enjoy watching your videos, thanks man!
A 6.0 returned to it's natural habitat.
don't kid yourself, it'll be back in its 'natural habitat' soon.
The service position. 6 feet up, hood popped. Give it four months
Wes, you should consider initiating a "taillight warranty ". It'll save on a lot of comebacks. 🤣
Or a lockable gate!
@@WatchWesWork Or... you just like a challenge.
or an Okie Guarontee.....if it breaks in half.....ya get both pieces
Or put up a big sign at the entrance to your property with "Out of business". But again christmas is coming soon and expenses has to be covered.
It'll save on a lot of legitimate repeat customers too. It's just the nature of the business, I think, and why it ain't a minimum wage job.
I've been with you for several years now and have always enjoyed your videos Wes.Recently, I got pushed out of my svc. manager position of 20 years at the local Ford dealer here in small town Texas. Big corporate company bought em out. Anyway, turns out it was a good thing. I've opened my own shop. I see you use AE Tools and computers. I got a VCM3 and IDS/FDRS with the subscription from Ford through them. Good people, although Cody sure did push to get me to buy a $3800.00 laptop of theirs! (didn't buy it) They have a great tech assist team there.
Anyway, ironically, as I was watching your video I got a text from a good customer/friend that had his 2004 6.0 F250 being towed in for a no start after hot soak. I'm pretty sure he's got a high pressure oil leak...
Keep up your weekly videos Wes, you have a fan base that would be seriously disappointed if you didn't!!
CHEERS
Yeah they used to offer lifetime support on their J-box, but now you only get that if you buy the insanely priced computer too.
@@WatchWesWorkwish I could afford IDS myself but way beyond what I make
Once again Wes, you gave an absolute masterpiece of automotive repair in a way that looks simple but show just how talented you truly are. Thank for putting out your content.
I daily drove a 2003 6.0 for 8 years,2 alternators 4 batteries and one injector it was a damn good truck, these trucks hold a special place in my heart lol
I drive my 1981 vw diesel for 15 years.
One alternator.
One battery.
No injectors.
THAT is a good truck.
The first person who commuted in my truck 43 years ago is retired.
And it’s never let me down.
THAT is a good truck
Excellent machine when serviced regularly
@@fastinradfordablevw never made a 3/4 ton 😂 so not sure what vw truck you're referring to
We used to make stuff that was repairable and easy to work on. Now, we make cars and trucks as complicated as a space shuttle, and just as difficult to repair, assuming the OEM lets you repair them. Crazy strange days!
It's best not to try to rationalize it. You'll only hurt your brain.
@@WatchWesWork ROTFL! There's a comedic routine in there somewhere...
I know right it's crazy how things are that's why i prefer older vehicles which are more reliable and last forever as long as they get the care they need
its a 20 year old ford. there is nothing complicated on it. nothing. just horrible access
Running shoe recommendation. New Balance 990's. V... whatever they're up to now. Think I had V3's and V4s. Try to find a New Balance store, get your foot measured. and get them there. They're made in the USA. I put a BUNCH of miles on mine. And after I had ran them out of shape for running I wore them as just normal use shoes for several years afterward. Just replaced the insoles, which were fairly inexpensive as well. The shoes themselves will probably run you ~$175+ ish for the pair. But for me they were money VERY well spent.
Good afternoon Wes, thank you for encouraging me that not being a mechanic is a good thing for me. I work enough/struggle on our vehicles that I am happy not to face it professionally. Thank you for the video. Will be watching for your next shared adventure.
Nothing like having another one of your arch nemesis back in your shop. Your troubleshooting skills, I commend you.Thank you for sharing 😊
At this point it is family
Wes, I feel your pain, the exasperating moments that you share with us are the very reason that I don't work on my stuff anymore. Good luck my friend.
God bless you Wes, you have the patience of a Saint, plus some .
After owning a beautiful green king ranch trim 6.0 powerstroke for 4 years and dumping thousands into it and it still never ran right I am happy to say I will NEVER own another. Currently have an 05 Cummins and it never misses a beat. I’ve owned an old 12 valve Cummins years ago and never a problem with it. My old man had a 98 Cummins and it was perfect. Love your work Wes. Happy Thanksgiving by the way 🦃
I remember when I quit doing your kind of work in the mid-80's. One of the reasons I quit was lack of access for maintenance or repair, and the frustration that went with it. Apparently, I had a cake walk compared to what you have to do. From all appearances, no manufacturer gives one iota of thought to how it will be repaired in the future. If you have to pull the engine to change the oil, f*** it. Continue on. Some of it is past being absurd. Your a better man than I am, Wes.
that is they key, they don't care if it can be repaired. they don't want you to repair they want you to drop it at the junkyard and buy the new overpriced junk with debt to keep you a debt slave.
"Shoe Goo" is a great shoe adhesive
When you change/drop the oil on a 6.0L, do the filter FIRST. There is a check valve that is held closed while the filter element is in place, thus holding oil. Once you remove the filter element, the oil (old/used oil) in that housing can then drain down into the pan.
I get your point.. But a little old oil is no big deal.
Hmmmm, drop residual drain back crud off of filter....?
Seems like nobody reads directions for specific cars.
If your that worried about getting every drop out. Don't forget also to drain the HEUI fuel injection systems= system also.😔
@@matopezuta2050 I don't remember reading THAT step in the Ford Shop Manual or any of it's Supplements.
Or International for that matter...
Thanks Wes for another great reminder that I made the right decision to retire and roll my iron home!!! Also thanks for using the word “Damper” correctly!!! So many don’t!!
Dampener and amperage... they grind my gears so much.
But then there is voltage instead of "tension". Go figure this English language...@@crackpotfox
@milantrcka121 Voltage is defined by the IEEE. "Amperage" is not. You can't just append "age" to any word. It's not gearage, dampage, spring constantage, timeage, gallonage, literage, etc. If you really want to be correct, you would say "# volts of potential".
What does tension have to do with it?
As a long-time "English is not my first language" type, I just marvel at inconsistency of it.@@crackpotfox
I worked on cars doing tune-ups, carb rebuilds and brakes growing up, my classmates all got up at 3 am tossing news papers. Later after college teaching school music proved to be low pay and unstable so then I worked as a journeyman line tech at a Chrysler/Jeep dealership then 2 GMC truck dealerships and I am telling you this as fact. Just because you worked on it once doesn't mean it becomes your eternal problem. I don't care if they are family or foe, tell them your original work did not restore newness to their beater mobile!
I would have replaced the oil pan while it was off. Looked like a bit of rust had started to form on the bottom of the pan. They rust out frequently. You made getting that pan off look easy though.
That was actually pretty good for an oil pan in our area. I see plenty of them rusted through.
Watching you just reinforces my decision to quit mechanics and become an electrician. Entertaining as always.
You rock Wes!
Love your videos.
thought we were going to go on a jog with you there at the end :) another good one done wes, more importantly you got at least 3 laughs out of me before coffee.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another great video Wes you have the patience of a saint 👍👌
Wes, I ALWAYS look forward to your posts!
Thank you Wes! Very interesting episode.
Having your videos every week is a nice constant in my life, thanks Wes.
The more I watch you work on these newer Ford's, the more I love my 1990 F-350 gasser. No oil leaks, still runs great with the original injectors.
I was gonna say, my old 93 F250 with an 87 idi mechanical diesel is a breeze to work on compared to these newer diesels. Vehicles nowadays are a nightmare to work on.
Great video thanks for posting it. 👍
It's a truly pleasure to watch you work. Thanks!
Hey Wes, thanks for the video, always good to see you bud!!
Another award winning job! Keep up the great work.
Wow whom ever designed that oil pan was mad with the world!! Thanks for sharing
Nice work Wes!
Great content! Thanks for posting.
15:19 cordless drill with a torque limiter is fine for something like that. Just put it on the lowest setting and screw them all in, then use the torque wrench to torque them down. :)
Nice work Wes , you are very good at your work…
Love your work, keep doing what do Love it.
Nice Watching You Work Wes...!!! And Nice Work...!!!
The jobs you tackle and your knowledge is amazing. The patience you have for the tough jobs is beyond me.
Coooome oooon, it's 40 seconds in and I'm already laughing my ass off!
Wes, you rule!!!
Patience of a Saint, Wes
thanks for a new video and welcome back.
watch wes slowly losing his mind, love your work bud keep on keeping on
Thank you for these 6.0 videos Wes. They make me appreciate my 7.3 more and more. It might not be fast but at least i can work on the thing.
About the only good thing about a 6.0 over a 7.3 is its easier to remove an oil pan though.
Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching!
Another great video, thank you Wes!
Thanks for the video Wes. Old vehicles leak! With six kids and six grandkids, I have plenty of experience repairing shoes.
Especially an old diesel engine in the rust belt that has almost 4 GALLONS of oil in it and actually runs on the oil itself. The HPOP - high pressure oil pump & high pressure oil system directly drives the injectors. Needless to say, there's many places that oil can & will leak from these 'old' motors. 🛢️👌👍🛠️🔧🔩📏🚜⚡💥💨⚠️🚧🚚🤔
My car has an oil pan gasket leak. I have no intention or motivation to pull the engine to fix a leak that’s less than a quart between oil changes 🤣
Gotta love this Illinois weather! Last week freezing and snow tomorrow looks like almost 70 … always looking forward to your videos.
Saint Wes!
Another great video. That was a pain.
As always love the content Wes. I've had a pair of keen shoes that I use at work and they're probably the most comfortable shoe I've worn for walking around whether it be concrete floors or outside adventures. I've had my pair of shoes since January and they're holding up fantastic
Wes thank you for the great videos and editing skills. I started wearing Merrel shoes when I noticed the UPS driver wearing them. Easy on the feet.
Thanks for sharing this information
Another fine quality video by Watch Wes Work and bonus shoe repair too😊
Yeah. You're right Wes. There is a lot of machining that went into that part. As soon as you mentioned I was trying to work out how many operations and how many tools the machining centre would need to make that. I wonder how many of those panels ended up with improperly tapped or missing threads even if they could get the grooves right.
I think you could do it with 6 tools. Probably need a PCD facemill to get the flatness spec.
Figuring out how to fixture it would also not be a ton of fun either - it so thin that too much clamp load and flat on the mill = warped on release
@@longrider8265 Yeah - probably a lot of scrap produced due to improper clamping pressure or bad placement by the operator.
Hopefully they remembered to put oil in it after the installation!
Almost 10k views in one hour.... High quality content!!!
Everytime I see you with a cascade of powdered rust falling on your head, I walk out in the shop and pat my old 1995 Chevy on the hood. It's spent the last 12 years sitting in a pasture most of the time, and although another injection pump has bitten the dust (95 6.5 liter TD, yup, not unexpected), there's pretty much zero rust on it. I may get west Texas dust in my eyes when I work on it, but it's not slowly dissolving! Thanks for the video.
Wes I love your complete perseverance and unwillingness to give up and your great diagnostic skills.
Awesome vid Wes. On a side note for stuff like this. If your drain plug hole is big enough you can use your 1/4" drive tools through that hole to tighten your oil pickup.
Brooks are really comfortable running shoes and have held up pretty well in my opinion. They’re not cheap but well worth it in the comfort you get in return.
Thanks for the video always good to see your troubleshooting expertise!
Your channel is so entertaining & I learn so much plus that job you had building those plates I can see why you have so much patience & why you now do what you do please keep the brilliant videos coming thank you Wes.💯
As usual Wes a fantastic video. You are an excellent mechanic & have infinite patience to be able to cope with all the problems that you face when working on these vehicles.
You amaze me with your skills !!
MORE POWER TO YOU MATE.
Cheers
Dusty from Australia.
Cast aluminum can be porous! WHO KNEW, besides you, Wes? Interesting repair----!Cool Carlos with the nifty wire stripper.
Yes. I can also be sealed by "impregnating" it with resin.
Another great video Wes thank you. Now I'm waiting for the next Watch Wes Wing It
Fine job Wes as far as shoes go I have resorted to buying them in bulk knowing that regardless of how much or how little I spend on them they are only going to be good for about 6-8 weeks
Max is all like "Shoes? I just run barefoots after the meeces!"
I tried to put shoes on him once. Lasted about 4 seconds.
I really like your videos . All of them from tractors to truck to the machinery repair.
Bravo Wes. Well done. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
saucony running shoes seem to work the best for me!!! Love what you do everyday. You are honest and really do care about what you do for customers!!!!!!!
Hoka are an all around great running/walking shoe, they work good for me but my best advice is not to run!
Just get Shoe Goo and glue'm up right. Cheap Chinese glue.
I'm a New Balance man myself. Hehe.
@@benjamincresswell3713 Yep, or if you can't find Shoe Goo, a tube of E6000 is basically the same stuff.
Gorilla glue is fantastic for sole repair; make sure you lightly moisten each surface first as that is the activator.
Wes - I appreciate you so much!
Another great educational video. Thank you Wes.
Don’t call it a comeback, it’s been there for years!
Have you ever thought about bringing someone on board to just do the camera work? Doing what you do is hard enough, but doing the camera work, too. I couldn't
It would be really tough. I work weird hours.
I know this sounds like I’m just kissing *ss. I think the filming and editing makes the show what it is.
@@WatchWesWork And I get that, It would have to be a flex schedule kind of a thing. But think how much easier doing what you do will be, not having to hold a camera and work.
Nice to see you again not putting out many videos for our enjoyment your pain
Don't ya just love how trucks are put together
Very interesting video job went well with no major issues
You sorted it as usual so keep up the good work really enjoy watching hear in UK 👍
I’ve had a strict personal policy since about 2015 that I WILL NOT touch a 6.0 power stroke and I’ve been much happier since I made that choice. It seems as though no matter what you do or how well you do it…there will be another problem next week or next month. Noooooo thank you
Used to mill 1 sqm plates from Alca5 and tool steeel for CD pressing machines back in the day when that was still a thing so I kind of know what you are talking about. You omitted the cost of the cnc measuring machine you have to use in the quality control though and the time that takes. those machines are pretty mazing though.
Fantastic job West couldn't have done it any better nothing like having the right tools for fantastic 😊
The wrench drop counter had me in stitches. Cheers!
Nice wrenching! I wonder what the purpose is of the custom oil filter cap?
It’s to filter the oil even more, it also has a filter for the coolant, 6.0s are known for there clogged oil coolers so it helps solve that
I don't think it's a test main seal. I think it's the turbo and or the turbo pedestal. Probably leaking oil down to the valley and it's probably run into the back of the valley to the drain hole just like on the 7.3 l and it makes it look like it's a rear main seal.
Love your determination Wesley! Thanks for sharing your videos. Daryl
Good job Wes ....keep up the good
Try Brooks Ghost 15 GTX, pricey but lasts.
I'll check them out.
I would a told that guy it's an almost 20 yr old rust bucket diesel. It's gonna leak oil. Buy a Prius
This is one excellent you tube channel Wes, your narration is so entertaining and we all see how talented you are.
I look forward to your next new video.
I love your videos Wes. You have the driest sense of humor. Keep up the great job man.
Wes, I know your a big "don't clean it before working on it" fan, but some how I think you would revel in the ownership of a hot tank. You take all the time to "do the job right", just imagine how you would feel about dealing with parts that are "crystal clean" and free of grime and crap. I serously think you would be tickled to be able to put something together seeing parts that are grease free. You would also be able to spot damage in hard parts much easier. Just a suggestion. Thanks for the video are usual always great content even when we "get in the way" looking over your shoulder, arm, back of your head... lol Stay Safe and Thanks Again for the share!
He does have a hot water pressure washer(Hotsy?) that he uses when he needs to clean\degrease something larger - instead of parts washer cabinet. I agree with you on hot tank but most of his greasy stuff he works on is attached to several ton vehicles so it'd be a lil difficult. If you could make a machine to completely 'wash' away all the rust, that would be great & make million$$!👍👌🛠️
how much blow by does that thing have? i have had that issue with multiple vehicles, you replace one seal, and the next weakest starts to leak, you end up chasing all the seals and gaskets around the engine...
A fair amount. 245,000 miles and it has every mod the internet says you need.
@@WatchWesWorkwhen you were cranking it at the start of the video it sounded like it has one cylinder that has low compression. Uneven cranking.
can't wait to see where it leaks next. the owner must love that truck
Commenting to help the stats. Good video and thumbs up!
The problem is so obvious, they circled it on the grill.
And then some FAT bugger went and sat on the circle squishing it into an oval...
Another great video. Thanks I wasn’t planning on a free shoe repair video but thanks again I have a pair that must’ve come from the same store, now I’ve got a fix for them.
It warms my heart to hear you talk measurements in metric.
C'mon, the Vietnamese kid was having a bad day... Nike needs to pay big money to millionaire athletes.
Nice choice of music at the end. Thank you for the video.
Your videos are ALWAYS ENTERTAINING, THANKS MAN
