This reminded me, I'm having a possible issue with my truck. At slow speeds going over a speed bump or an aggressive stop at a stop sign, I'm feeling a shift under/in front of my seat and hearing a noise. The noise is kind of hard to explain. Its like if you had bad suspension maybe a bad ball joint? All my suspension was new about 5 years ago (20,000 miles) except the springs and shocks which are 2 years old (4,000 miles). I don't drive much. Any idea what it might be?
Assuming all the suspension parts are new including bushings, I would check engine and transmission mounts. I know my transmission mount bolts get loose over time.
@TheMinuteMasters that's a good call! I just had my transmission rebuilt, and it didn't start making the noise til I got it back. Maybe that's the culprit you think? Is there a torque spec that you know off hand? If not, I'll try and find it
I did seriously consider hood events at one time. However, since I was a Memorial clearances on the four seasons, I think they would be overkill. I’ve seen guys that live in places like Florida or Arizona add them and I think that was a good idea. If your cooling system isn’t keeping up I would probably look at making sure everything is functioning properly.
My 93' XLT 150 needs this. It has run poorly during rain events in the past, and I think it's because water leaks into the MAP sensor which is directly underneath the seal (thanks Ford!) I'm replacing it before winter.
Nice. I wonder if it would be worth adhering it to the bulkhead with a bead of black silicone so that water can’t get behind it at all. I think mine is past its best, too. I also really need to get new door window seals and probably new seals for the doors themselves, as well. Seeing all the debris behind the seal reminds me that I’ve heard people going on about debris collecting behind a panel at the bottom of the engine bay that covers the inner fenders, maybe? Be good if you could do a video on all the areas that stuff can collect and eat away at your bodywork when it gets wet. As well as seals etc to keep on top of to stop the same thing. 👍🏻
I chose to use 3M Black or Yellow weatherstripping glue to maintain the sealing marital bliss since the factory OG unit didn’t seem to seal worth of beans! As usual Stevie, another great video!
Help anyone? I'm brand new here so not sure if anyone will read this but I've had a problem for YEARS on my 1991 Ford F250 7.5 gas automatic truck. When cold, it fires right up. If I drive in the summer to the store, get a drink, come back to the truck to leave, the truck will not start. I must wait about 10-15 minutes then it will usually fire. SO frustrating, I now get gas without turning off the engine due to this problem. Anyone??? Thank you very much!
Is it fuel injected? If so, check for injector pulse at the injector when crank/no start condition arises. I had a Tacoma, and the ecm was getting too hot from heat soak off the engine when sitting after driving because of its location, and the injector drivers on the board were overheating. Try putting an ice pack wrapped in a towel on the ecm to cool it down and see if the truck fires. It's a long shot, but happened in my case.
Just found your channel and im all in on it! Im making my way through all the videos. I have a 92 bronco custom 5.0 Is there a fb group or something you're involved in where i can post pics and ask questions and such? Im not a complete noob i weld and have done alot of diy projects.. im just new to obs ford. Keep the videos coming man they're awesome and the informative.
Hell yeah Ajay! Welcome!🤙 Yes, there is a great FB group called OBS Revolution. It’s actually started by the other OBS Ford UA-cam channel Fox Shop. Lots of great posts and knowledgeable people on there. Will do man! More coming!
This part has been sitting on my bench for months. I'm cleaning up my bench now.
My original part is ok. There is only minor cracking around the arch. Good idea not to cut the arch.
Hahaha that’s good!
Good to know!

@@BLueFeaTHeRedOliVeS I don’t know the spec off hand. I always consult my Haynes manual.
Would you ever install hood vents ? I think I am going to make some holes in the hood and cover with vents cuz my engine gets HOT

When’s the truck pic sharing thread gonna be made? I’m eager to share pictures of my 89 and see what other people got out there.
Hahahah! I wish UA-cam allowed threads like that.

Ah! That could definitely cause issues.
Chris Your-Neighbor has a tach
I had no idea Chris Fix lives in Philly until I moved to Iowa. Oh well🤷♂️
@TheMinuteMasters Broncos and parts garage actually. He's on FB

yeah i was thinnking the same thing. use some sealant on the mating surface and on the inside edge.
That’s a good idea for sure!
I’ll write that down for future video ideas.
Thats the one with the cut out
Did mine also love your video bro I have a 93 with 5.0 love this truck
Thanks man!🤙
Nice! I like my 5.0
I changed mine when I painted the truck. Wasn’t in terrible shape. 27 yrs old at the time.
I am on the hunt for late obs the look on the front is nice.
Nice! They are definitely plenty of them out there for sale had varying price levels and condition.
Tell ya what, a real man drives a OBS. Panties fall when the ladies see me roll up!
Anotha banga! Thanks Stevie.
Thanks man!🤙 I appreciate it!
It’s way cheaper on rockauto and it comes with the cut out. It’s only 30$ I ordered mine do to my old one falling apart when I touched it
Good to know! 🤙
Have a link? I can't find it on Rock auto.
Fairchild cowl seal on Rockauto, part m4072. It is not cheaper for me. $30 for the part, but $20 shipping.
@@rcplaneguy shipping is ridiculous
ez repair. take it off, put it on
Yup!

Welcome man!🤙 I would read your codes and check your fuel pressure.
Does this happen only in the summer?
Is it fuel injected? If so, check for injector pulse at the injector when crank/no start condition arises. I had a Tacoma, and the ecm was getting too hot from heat soak off the engine when sitting after driving because of its location, and the injector drivers on the board were overheating.

$53?!?!
I’m told it’s cheaper at Rock Auto.
To much steps, maybe if I had thousands of dollars of tools to do this
Hahahahaha
