Hang in there brother! All this ain't gonna do more than force you to pay additional attention to detail. It can be amazing learning lessons we didn't set out to learn. God is good.
All the time...
It doesn't matter to me what the situation is. When I see a new Restoration video I will watch it from start to end and give a thumbs up
WRONG...WRONG! you have increased your knowledge and you are a better mechanic. Failure is often, and here IS, future sucess.
Very true
Never give up! I hope u have a nice junk yard or U pull it close by so u don't have to pay retail for parts on the F150. I believe u will know every single square inch of that motor now. U got the bolts down pat since u keep breaking them. Love the videos Rev! Keep them rolling! Prayers to the family and speedy recovery for the moms.
Hey Rev, I’d like to chime in here in the comments. I had a 90 f150 that almost made me quit the hobby. (It’s on my channel a little bit.) It was CLEAN, however I could not for the life of me get it to run right and efficiently. I swear it got like 5mpg and it was the 4.9 straight six. I threw parts at it and it left me stranded multiple times. It seemed like every single dang time I used the truck, something new broke. Headlight switch, a piece of trim, a new leak developed, etc. Also, the quality of replacement parts for these trucks is terrible so every now and again id have to replace a part twice because the first one was bad out of the box. I sold that truck for an incredible loss and haven’t regretted it since. That’s just my experience though. God bless
You are so right. I can recount three instances when I saw how Ford tried to make consumers dependent on their parts dept so they could extort the max profit from their customer base. Nice way to do business, huh?
That old truck is a character building experience Rev! Keep up the great work brother.
Wow, you have a lot more determination than me. I would have already sold that truck and bought him another one. Love you, Brother. Keep after it.
That's what I call a character builder. After you replace or check everything something has to give in and start working.
Rev love to see you and the old man respectable back on here love your videos
You got it to the point where you can do what I’ve been wanting to do to my EFI 90 Ford is getting rid of the EFI and put a regular intake in a carburetor
Doing a carb conversion is easy hell my 1990 f250 was so messed up electrically that me and my dad took everything off of a 1978 f150 and wired it up to my f250 including the duraspark box and a carbed 302. I was gonna carb swap my 351w but it jumped time so I went and got a 302 out of a 86 Thunderbird which is a throttle body cause you can pull that throttle body off and bolt a 2 barrel carb right down in its place
The F150 may have fixed itself. There is a possibility that one or more fuseable links have corroded internally. What that means is the copper wire strands have corroded away to the point of making intermittent contact/electrical conductivity. I would check each of the links (they look like regular wires but are yellow and or black with rubber sleeves on them thicker than the wires. They all run past the battery and the right inner fender. You can use a sewing needle to probe each fuseable link for 12 volt power with the key to the on position. Wiggle the wire or wire bundle up down a bit to see if you get intermittent voltage. If you do then that wire or fuseable link wire needs to be repaired or replaced. The "Old Man" or your son can help you test/probe each of the wires. God Bless!!!
Loved the episode! These old Fords are good for testing your faith and abilities. Stay strong my FORD Brother.
Rev, sorry I'm late watching this, I've been back and forth to the doctors with my wife. I have missed seeing y'all, tell everyone I said hello, stay safe and God Bless y'all!!!
I am a year into fixing my 1991 f150 . Seeing this inspires me to keep going because ill tell you brother everything that could be wrong with my engine was wrong.
If u get stuck, there's always a video on UA-cam that u can watch
Amen
Hang in there Rev.! Sometimes we get to being tested by the good Lord. Be well sir.
Hey Big Al, I agree about the testing!
@@RevStoration careful Rev....that old devil is testing you through that Ford!!!
Time to show him who's Boss
Hey rev I'm glade you reached out definitely wish we were closer so I could have helped more but happy to see it going I could feel the frustration
That's God's sense of humor if I ever seen it he got your attention with that bracket falling off but he held everything together all while showing you your leak.
Count your blessings
That was Gods way of showing you where the coolant leak was at
Already given Him credit for that as well.. thanks for watching and recognizing!
Glad you got us a video Rev hope all is well for your mamma and rest of your family stay safe ….
Good to see you working with your dad. Awesome
I'm so happy to finally see another video from you guys. I love yalls videos. Keep em coming!
Just bought an 87 F150. Not a mechanic at all and never have been. Watching your video was a scary education. Ill keep watching and learning! Hope that old dog is still running.
Glad you didn't give up Rev. You and the Old Man will figure it out!
As The Lord told Paul, “My Grace is sufficient!” Always got to remember that when working on these old aggravating Fords!
Rev, Mr. Rev's dad, at least you both can agree you both were saying the same thing, only in different ways, without getting feelings hurt and feuding about it. Some father's and sons are ( were) not that fortunate.
Well Rev, besides Liposuck some parts, cranking stuff here and there, Dad pulling his hair-out, u'all almost gotten the FORD running good.
Almost may be all I got
Glad you got it figured out. Nice old truck 😎😎
Rev I am currently working on 90 F150 302 EFI. The fuel injection decided not work past the fuel lines! Good Lord what a Ford!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Rev, that one was a tough one! But hey like you said it is great to have the Lord as your back up mechanic! I do believe you may be right that water got somewhere and messed you up for a day or so but she is run just hate to hear about the motor mount..
I worked in the automotive industry for over thirty years and have wanted to quit 1000 times and set a car down a hill on fire and call the insurance company.... But I stopped working on the problem vehicle and had a RC Cola and Moonpie and just gave my mind time to reset .
After I got Covid a year and a half ago and spent 2 weeks in ICU it destroyed my life and damaged my lungs. I was left bed ridden and just in the past few months been able to get off oxygen and be able to walk more than 1000 feet without having to take a break. I found your channel and It reminds me of me and my dad growing up in North Alabama fixin on old Chevys. I started reading the verses you included in your videos and they have helped me through also. You have helped me more than you could ever know and I hope you continue to make content.
Fail stands for first attempt in learning. We all have challenges that truck is yours. God likes to test us.
Lmao the last one you did good lord what a Ford had me laughing out loud I’m a ford guy my self brother from Tennessee I came across your channel tonight got to say I love the energy and positive got to subscribe to my ford family 🤙
I have had my 2002 Ford aF-150 Lariat for 21 9:19 years now. Purchased it brand spanking new in 2002.
The only things I have replaced is 3 sets of tires, 4 batteries and had to replace 4 cop's
(coil over plug) one at a time and one alternator ( it workrd, but the rear bearing on it lost most of the ball bearings) and recently all 4 brakes, so:
GOOD LORD, WHAT A FORD I have!!
This is why I am stripping all of the efi stuff off of my 300 six cylinder and going carbureted with no ecm. I am going back, points and all.
hi rev change the temp sending unit its telling the computer its cold so it riches the mixture but because its bad the mixture stays rich thank me later bob
It has a newish one.. Ill get one and try it
Seeing that timing chain cover instantly takes me back to my 83 f150 with a 351w. That thing kept on leaking coolant from the top of the cover. Decided one day I was gonna fix that. Re did the timing chain cover and guess what it leaked from the same spot as before. Decided to do the timing chain cover again, this time with a brand new cover. Followed all the procedures and torque specs. And now I don't have an external coolant leak but now my oil is milkshake. So i think my timing chain cover is letting coolant leak into my oil pan. (HARD face palm) I don't know what to do with it at this point. I don't think re doing to timing chain cover again will help. I really don't understand why ford made the cover the way they did. The design is just asking for a coolant leak. I think chevy did a much better job with their small blocks. Blasphemy to a ford guy I know. I just don't get why ford engineers things they way they do. Just like the oil filter on that same truck. Its a total pain to get a filter on and off that truck. Its a big filter and EVERYTHING is in the way of it. but that's a story for another day.
Well this is why we pray for patients rev. Found on road dead troubles .
Those quick disconnect lines aint so quick to disconnect sometimes. Hey Rev, I got a Dad joke for ya.
A massive thunderstorm rolls in over an orchestra concert. Who's the first person to get struck by lightning? "The Conductor"
If you ever have to do heads on one of these older 5.0's...use the heads & intake from the last of the 5.0 Explorer's & Mountaineers. You'll be shocked at how much better that combo works. Fun fact? It's the same top end they used on the '93 Cobra Mustangs
I’ve got a 86 that I tell folks is a true fix or repair daily. It’s always something.
You need to make a sticker with your emblem and the saying Good Lord, What a Ford!!! Thanks for the great videos Deuces!
there's a bolt hole in the timing cover that does not get used on the 'newer' water pumps. It's right at the spot where you have your leak. The water pump gasket 'should' cover this hole to prevent a leak. It doesn't always do the job, hence the leak. You can fill the hole with rtv or some such.
When you taking all the wires, sensors, and hoses off don’t you miss the days when all of that wasn’t there
Rev giving the ol' Ford the Bionic Elbow! Woo weee! We know he means business!
Good work Rev. I felt this one like I was in the midst of this myself. 🏁
So happy that it is finally working and you have a handle on what else to fix.
Glad it isnt me lol God bless you Dave :)
Well all these strange things break and happens for a reason. When things break on us. We know the Lord is telling us you were not supposed to leave at that time. God bless you Rev. Prayers and blessings headed your way
I'm glad you replaced the timing chain while you had it tore down
Rev those lines are tricky, I did a video on them, You have to put the tool in the line like you have it, but that big round part does not move, hold the tool in the big round part and pull on the other side of the line and it will pop right out
Wow,when it rains it pours, you'll getting going the correct way soon,be patient!!
That intro was awesome guy!!!!!😜😁🤣
Thanks brother. It fit the video well!
Hellow good to see y'all again buddy
Excellent video Rev :) , Ole Man :) , Nicky T :) yes also check Wrecking Yard at vechiles for motor mounts or Rock Auto or any Parts Store may have them and do left also right at same time too ! Check Air Conditioning pump power wire if kinks or needs replaced connectors on too and plus get Transmission fluid plus filter up new or new seals too or Bearings to! Also Rev did temperature gauge change to cooler on dash reading too because may need do head gasket on left head too !
Just read it the last rites...😹😹😹
Needs it for sure..
Hey Rev when does a bad joke become a dad joke? When becomes a parent lol
So glad youre are back David, again a Nice video 😊 god bless you all 🙏
One of my old body style trucks used to have issues the way the transmission shifted and found out that the wires one the sensor on the rear differential were bad causing a bad signal to the transmission computer (behind glove box) pulled the sensor, cleaned it off, reinstalled, and repairer the broken wires and it shifter perfectly ever since..
I don't know if this one has that but Ill look. Thanks for watching!
it will be ok rev ive been there on a chevy 4 times infact i left the rags in the intake replacing gaskets before i had to take it back off and redo everything oh man im glad i remembered it though . so trust me we all been there at one time if you work on cars enough
It's always great to see the real thing versus the scripted these days. Don't worry you will get her fixed just keep plugging away and never hesitate to ask for help.
The spring inside the push lock fuel lines sometimes rusts and gets stuck try spraying some PB Blaster in the lock portion and where they connect then push the tool in and twist it back and forth while pulling it apart.
Well I had to stop the video amd found you on fb. I watched Sept 17 service. It was quite inspirational. Bless you David for sharing the word. Don't worry bout that old truck. In time you'll find the issue. If you don't that's OK to. It's just a thing. Nothing to stress over.
Greeat video brother, I have a 1996 Ford F150 with a 5.0L (302) Windsor V8 with 210,000 miles and still going strong. The only things I replaced on my truck was the starter, the rear fuel pump, and the power steering megunisum but other than that mostly was just simple maintenance, took out the transmission fluid just to get rid of the shuttering it was making and it hasn't had a problem ever since.
Thanks Rev for the update on your truck 🚛 keep up good work thank you Lord what a Ford
To be honest with you, the only thing that saved your Pinto station. Wagon from being a rot bucket was all that contact paper that was called woodgrain on the side of the body! I always love the bobcats and the pintos! Great car, good little rig!
Glad you and your Dad has the truck running hope you get the rest of the things on it fixed
Love it !! Good Lord --what a Ford !! Just total magic, Had to subscribe. Thanks!
Reverend David. You stole a head off the Bishop. Hope it works great. Glad it was rebuilt. Got to give you an A+ in veracity. You have stuck with it. God does work in mysterious ways! Congratulations! 💯👍
Rev , you got some juicy knockers lol
Wow I have an '89 F150 and have never broken a bolt on it. Nor have I had many problems. I did have a work around to get the ignition to work ran it through a relay to a momentary toggle switch. It actually worked well you turn the ignition to on with the key but it wont start until you hit the toggle switch I put under the dash. My 89 has 160,000 miles. And I am the 3rd owner. SoI guess I have just been lucky.
Interesting how some of these trucks seem to be so troublesome. I bought an 86 F250 for $900 almost 12 years ago, and while I've done a lot to it to make it a nicer truck to drive, I've had to do very few actual repairs to it, and it's never left me stranded. I'm at 252,000 on mine. Most of the repairs I've had to do, were from crappy replacement parts not lasting in the first place.
Well Rev, and Mr. Rev's dad, I short-tempered, hot-headed and stubborn...Woooohoooohoooo..I am trying to PURGE those family traits!!! God willing, at 66 years old, I hope to win this battle cause these traits I don't need!!
I've got an 01 explorer with a 5.0 had to put 2 heads on it because bolts broke on the intake and water pump. end up putting timing cove on it to to get water leak to stop it was new now have evap leak and oil leaks I can't find so I know your pain
Rev, your persistence and your faith will always carry you through the toughest situations. The good Lord will never burden you with a problem too difficult for you to handle. What He will bless you with is a learning opportunity. Your ability to recognize these opportunities and benefit from them is one of the reasons I love watching Revstoration. One item at a time, you will succeed. It's guaranteed. God bless you, the Old Man, Nicky T, Momma, and the whole family.
I'm from Arkansas love y'all love y'alls videos keep it up tell your dad I said hi
Now rev don't let that truck get you down I a friend of mine bought one of those that year model it was a nightmare from the get go something all the time ford dealer couldn't keep it going bad year model
You're doing fine just keep up the good work keep the videos coming
REV DID YOU SAY GOOD LORD WHAT A FORD YOU HAVE A FLEET SIR YOU MADE MY DAY THE BEGINNING MADE ME SAY YEAH GOOD OLE FORDS WITH A SMILE🙂
Thanks Rev and pops, where can i see you preech Rev ? im in Australia god bless you and your Kin.
What a struggle. I hope it eventually gets fixed and runs well. My grandfather used to say FORD stands for "First on Rubbish Dump"..not sure if that's true, but it seems that way with all the issues you are having with that Ford.
I had to use the red plastic fuel line remover to get mine off. I also have a 1987 ford f150 it was a pain!
Blessings on you and your family!
Dave take it easy on yourself working on all those Ford's they're so hard my Chevy and do something easy for a change God bless😮😅
keep at it you will get it fixed . great video
Great job Rev stay at it
You said it right .loved this intro yall are fantastic God bless 🇺🇲👍
Keep teaching brother dave
Know how you feel rev
I have a 91 ranger that I tinker with when I can’t work outside on other projects.
I have a very rough idle that comes and goes
I’ll figure it out one of these years!!
I had an ‘85 ford ranger I bought new, it had a v6 and 5 speed manual transmission, loaded with ac etc., one summer day I backed it up a driveway and for no real reason I just popped the clutch to shut the engine off, later on when I was ready to leave the engine would not start (engine would spin but there was no spark), well the ignition module which was bolted to the side of the distributor with tiny little screws that took a very slim socket was bad, so I replaced it and everything was fine, then one day when I was leaving work I accidentally stalled the engine out trying to take off, and guess what? it would not start back, the module was bad again. So thinking back to the time before when i purposely stalled it I remembered then too that I was also running the ac. There was some weird wiring issue that would fry the module if you stalled the engine while the ac was running??? From that day forward I never ran the ac again, I eventually sold the truck without ever trying figure out what the issue really was.
Those, broken bracket bolts, would've came out easy enough, with a mig welder. Flux core, also. Would've been, my plan. When the passenger side exhaust manifold is removed, you have to move or remove the transmission dip stick tube. Outside temperature, will cause the ATF to expand. That's where the ATF leak came from.
God bless you Rev your working to hard.
hang in there you will get through this.
Hey guys show your old man your daddy what velocity restorations has been building there's a UA-cam channel with the name, best of luck David sir and there's been a few i couldn't figure out either didn't stop me from working on vehicles and even the ones I couldn't figure out how to fix and what was actually wrong with them taught me alot of things I didn't know.
Be careful REV broken motor mounts can cause throttles to stick wide open you KNOW ! It makes for a Thrilling ride , the kind YA don't Like! .
Hey rev i have a 1988 f150 might still have them gas lines i am thinking it has most of the wiring and fuel rail just laying over on the inner fender i pulled engine out and sat another 302 in with a carb but im going to junk it before long i live in griffin GA if you are interested in any parts i also got a 460 with c6 out of a 86 e350 van and a set of swap mounts to set it into 302 frame mounts if any interest great videos man i love watching id let engine go very fairly in my opinion
Just a suggestion, a code reader will come in really handy. Everything went to OBD II in 1996. You have OBD I. A scanner can't read the codes.
I'm glad I sent u thoes fancy rechargeable flexible magnetic base flashlights for u to use ur cell phone 😅😅😅😅. But I guess the Revstoration can fix her without fancy tools. Love ur videos fixed or not the Rev keeps it real
Hello Rev and the ole man
That AOD needs tps, signal for correct shifting, u have to use trans controler
Good luck Rev with the old Ford. Maybe you just need an older Ford..😮
Those plastic fuel lines are fairly easy to make or repair. Be patient with that old Ford. Just imagine when God is working on us and we keep kicking back like that old truck does.
