FordTechMakuloco is friction modifier needed? Thank you
No, I mention that in the video.
FordTechMakuloco sorry man, I'll listen to it again when the wife isn't around lol.. Thanks again and many thanks for your very helpful videos 👍
Hi Brian great video. I have a 2012 edge limtied AWD. I put jucas oil in the ptu is that ok or does it need the mercon stuff
the 80w-90 axle fluid be ok for 07 150 4x4?
Just tried this, and while it wasn’t bad, it is much more difficult with the truck on level ground (rather than on jackstands or a lift). There is not much space to get under the truck to access the differential. Next time, I’ll put all four corners up on jackstands. The 20 minutes it will take to jack up the truck will save at least an hour. Also, warming the new gear lube (I set the bottles in a tub of hot water) makes pumping the lube into the differential much easier. Another great video, though. Thanks!
Good tip, filling up my rear diff took forever. I'll try a hot water bath for the front fluid before I put it in.
I’m an aspiring technician currently being trained at a NATEF school and I love your channel. I want to be a good tech like you are.
Man you are my "Go To" for anything I do on my Explorer! Definitely the most knowledgeable Ford Tech I've found online or anywhere for that matter, and your presentations on what you're doing is so straight forward and precise! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and making life easier when it comes to maintaining my Ford! Much appreciated!
You're one hell of a mechanic man. Thank you so much for all of your videos.
Great video like always. I've been doing maintenance on my 2003 expedition this week. Your channel has been very helpful !!
I have used a marine engine oil sucker for years to do this front differential and rear end oil changes.
Yes, at one point you do need to pull that rear cover as you perfectly explain in another video.
Ty for sharing with all of us.
I am a 2007 F150 5.4 3v owner.
You have helped always
It blows my mind they couldn't just add a drain plug
And make your life easier?....no way.
Imagine if there is no drain plug on the engine, have to drop the pan every time to do an oil change.
Most definitely. My blazer had a drain. super easy
@PRIMO SCIENTIFIC most people are too lazy to grease. Or they're stupid and overfill.
@PRIMO SCIENTIFIC He stated in the beginning that the steering box is in the way of removing the cover.
just changed did this on my 2018 F150 with 3.5L ecoboost. went flawlessly!! Thank you Brian!
All your video are so informative I love to watch over and over it helps me every time I do something new on my vehicles. And when I do it I know it is done right.
wow, you are really good. Just bought a 2012 with 160,000 miles and it needed some work. With your videos such as this I have changed the rear diff pinion seal and now the front diff oil. Thanks and subscribed, I think I may need some more advice in the near future.
I was able to remove the front cover by trimming off the corners on the bottom of the housing that stick out on either side below the cover with a hacksaw. Once I got the cover off and cleaned it up, I ground the lip on the top corner on the drivers side about 1/2 way down to make it easier to put back up. It`s better to take it off and get all that crud out of there. It worked for me and thought I would pass it along. I have a 2012 Raptor.
Do you have any pics of what you did?
I wish my truck was this clean underneath. MD/PA roads kill in the winter. Another, as usual, phenomenal video! You've saved me so much time and money on working on my F150. Thanks for taking the time.
Power washed underside of my 2011 rust belt f150 then sprayed entire chassis twice with phosphoric acid and allowed it to dry then painted it with black primer and then 2 coats flat black rust paint . After paint was dry I sprayed entire truck with chain bar oil thinned with kerosene doing inside frame crossmembers suspension hood tailgate doors rockers and pillars box front fenders . Prior to oil undercoating I welded in rockers and cab corners refinished painted them and drilled 1/2 inch holes in sills and pillars to get oil into all welded and damaged areas to prevent future rust .
hows she doing today?
Another excellent video Loco! Thank you for all your help. You make owning a f150 cheap.
Aahh, the many uses for the Vacula. Perfect for bailing out the HPOP resevoir on the 6.0's. Also great for an overfilled trans because you can measure and mark the hose to the dipstick to suck it down to the correct level. My Vacula started to collapse so I put a PVC pipe coupler inside to stop it from sucking in on itself.
Good video.
Another great video! Would you consider doing a video on how to clean intake valves for us Ecoboost owners? Would love to see how you'd go about doing it
Another great video from the best, most informative Ford service source.
Good Man.
Thank you for doing this video. It was extremely helpful, and the tools you suggested worked perfectly.
My 2015 f150 had a lot of water in the rear differential truck only has 17k miles on it ford rebuilt it but it didnt fix my whining noise bringing it back for round 2 thank you for the videos they are very educational
Another good video. Thanks for posting. I think you have a future in "Auto TV"
Great video. Nice that you cleaned the area of work for the production.
Thanks so much. Perfect video. Amazing how easy these tasks become with your shared expertise.
Thank you for all of the great videos. I really appreciate your explanation of things.
Thanks for posting this, this is the last fluid needing service on my 06 scab, just bought a fluid extractor for the trans service so my garage didn't look like a slaughter house from the pan drop. Looks like another wise tool purchase I made, as it can do this too. Had 3 bolts that i had to fight coming out on the trans pan, 12 years with roadsalt and no antiseize on the bolts, even impact wouldn't move them, had to fight them by hand forward and reverse with aerokroil, what a job!! Had to buy a tap to repair threads in trans case.
Wow!
FordTechMakuloco almost drove out to see you to fix!
Some info from just doing this on my 2012 f150 eco boost 4x4. Using a mityvac mv6830 at about 100 psi on a 3.5hp 60 gallon single stage compressor I got about 43oz out before I couldn't get anymore. I attached some aquarium air hose to it and it worked great. Took about an hour and half letting the compressor cool down some as the mityvac is an air hog. Roughly a quart of 80w-90 went back in.
I've just completed my 1st attempt to change the fluid in mine. Working on the floor of my garage with the truck on rams and jack stands. I attempt the removal of the fluid with a 1.5 liter manual extractor, it did not go well. In Brian's video it showed him moving the front wheel slightly to facilitate the insertion of a small diameter tube. I was not able to get mine tube in properly and consequently was only able to extract about 700-800 mils. I would recommend the truck be off the ground so front wheels can be moved also the use of an air driven extractor be used as well. There's no gain if there ain't any pain,cheers.
Thanks for the extraordinarily professional presentation!
Another great video Brian!
Thanks Buddy!
Awesome. Thanks again. My old expedition with 250k miles, doubt if its ever been checked.
Content, video quality, information and presentation are outstanding. Thank you for this, and keep up the great work!
Love the video man. am going to go broke buying all these cool tools you use. Can never have to many tools haha
I just took my truck to the shop to have this done thinking/expecting this was what they were going to do. The mechanic took off the cover not realizing that it wouldn't come out of there. They mechanic and owner were stymied for a while but realizing they didn't have an option getting it out at that point. They were able to twist and turn and pivot it in some way that it actually came out. I told him he should have videoed it to post so they would become UA-cam famous for how to do it. I wish I had seen it. He showed me a photo with the cover off and nothing else had been removed from all the steering assembly.
Thanks MAkuloco, OI just changed the oil of my 2002 Expedition. OMG I have never changed before, and have the tryck for all these years.
Go Ford!! found full amount of dirty oil, now will change my rear one. Girls, foolow this guy. I am a 61 year old lady!!
Great info. Husband just got me a2022 Expedition Timberline. I told them I needed a fresh oil change and all fluids topped off/checked before purchasing.
(The dealership had it for 8-9 months and put 2,200 miles on it)
Talking with the maintenance manager he said either 100 or 150k for the differential. I called it out “that is after our warranty ends” and the first oil change was done at almost 8,500 miles.
I worked on cars with me Dad since I was a kid. Still keeping my 2022 Santa Fe (last car I worked on with him before he passed away unexpectedly).
Husband knows I’m going to take care of this vehicle and do services (bring it in while under warranty till 2030) to keep the engine performing well.
I swear they (dealerships) recommend schedules to just get you pass warranty lol
Try one on 2011 and newer. I used a hand pump to do the PTU on my Explorer. Then extended the breather tube to use as a filler.
I changed the fluids in my Explorer. I soaked the bottles of gear oil in hot water in the sink to warm up the oil so it would pump easier. Seemed to help somewhat.
I engage my 4 wheel drive monthly for about 10 miles. To warm up transfer case and front differential and try to boil off any water.seems to help.
I also change out these fluids on a reasonable interval.
Living in the desert southwest I am always amazed at all the rust on these undercarriages.
That's why your vehicles look the way they do. Try driving on winter roads with snow, ice, salt, and sand. See what your vehicle looks like in 5-10 years. I'm jealous when I watch videos of vehicles from States like yours.
The rust is unreal,it looks like the front end sit in a creek, the manifolds had holes on the bottom of the exhaust ports,starter, wires melted from the heat, I got 15 of 16 studs out with welding nuts and building the stud up above the head surface to weld the nut on, replacing the vacuum operated front differential lock with a cable and doing away with the vacuum components, manual shifter,my shop will be completed when I get a lathe, milling machine, aluminum Tig.slight rain this morning, I bought the 1997 F-150 for 600 off a lot,had another sitting beside it and the frame was shot,it came from West Virginia and when I am finished restoring will be like new condition.
Great video as always. We greatly appreciate you doing these.
Great info man. Thanks for all the vids
Very informative Video. Thank you!
Great advise. Thanks for the info.
Thanks man you have inspired me
Great vid. I love how all the companies could just put a drain plug in the bottom of everything but for some “unknown” reason never do. Again great video man. You have helped me maintain my 06 f150 to 290k miles. Thank you so much!!!
I've heard because by being a "sealed" system, it reduces cost of ownership based on manufacturer maintenance intervals.
@@Motojourneysit's not sealed... there is a vent on them. More likely because they like you to vi$it the dealer$hip for maintenance.
Great info Brian.
Thanks for all the info. You r awesome!
Helpful vid. Thanks!
I went after this before this video was released. I was able to take out the two steering rack bolts which gave me JUST enough room to get the cover out. In hind sight i would have rather done it this way. But i was able to completely clean out the differential.
CStockner Witch bolts are those. My cover is hanging there now. Having trouble getting it off and gave up for the night?
I just drained and changed my 08. I’m nursing my sore neck muscles and it sure was a pain but it’s done for another few years
another great video !
I also found out the hard way not to use a socket and ratchet on one of the top bolts. I got it on and after backing out a couple threads it got jammed against the steering rack. Holy crap what a pain it was to get it out. I actually tried cutting it with a sawzall but it wouldn’t cut thru. I eventually just bashed it out with a 2.5lb hammer and the cheap ratchet mechanism broke allowing for room for it to fall out. So use a long extension to reach the top 2 bolts thru front near oil filter with no problem.
Looks way easier than taking the plate off. Could you use the same pump to extract the fluid that you used to fill?
Thank you for you help
Great video if you get a chance I have a trouble shooting question because I'm sure you never get any of those. I have a 2010 explorer xlt 4x4 I have replaced both CV joints one CV joint seal to the differential both inner tie rods both tie rod ends when I have the car in Reverse or drive with emergency brake on I still hear noise from the front differential not sure if I've got a diff gear gone bad in the front or if the CV joints are not engage properly on the front any ideas as to what that maybe I know it's a broad-spectrum question just looking for a shot in the dark.
Great videos! I am sure you get a ton of requests. I am searching for a video on replacing the seal on a front axle shaft tube for the passenger side of a 2012 Lincoln Navigator 4wd. Mine Is leaking. Since this comes from the differential does always spin only when 4wd is engaged?
Hello! Thanks for the video. For front differential out of the transfer case, which oil to use? (Ford Explorer 2001) Thank you!
Thanks for sharing the video and your knowledge. Question - can I put Mobil 75-90 LS Full Synthetic Gear oil in the front axle 2006 F250 Super Duty 4X4 instead of 80-90W Non synthetic ? Thank you in advance.
With your guidance, I took on the Front Differential fluid change.
With the pump I bought it was rather easy, although it wasn’t easy getting the suction tube down into the lowest area of the reservoir. Had to keep messing around.
The level seemed low also.
2021 F150 58,000 klm. I know I’m early, but I thought it was a good idea considering the recent break in period.
Surprisingly it was grey from small filings.
The fluid seemed very dirty.
Anyway, once again I want to thank you for the great direction!
did you use a plastic tube at the end of the hose as well or did you just put the hose in?
brotha answer the question, help us out. Per another users question: "did you use a plastic tube at the end of the hose as well or did you just put the hose in?"
I plan to drill n tap the bottom of the differential cover and add a drain plug. 3/8-16 tap with a brass plug or a short bolt. Obviously not long enough to interfere with the internal workings of the gears. What do you think about this?
This video came out just in time. I am going through the 50k maintenance, transmission, transfer case, rear diff, front diff, and spark plugs. I have been watching other video on the front diff, and they struggled with cover. I was thinking, it might be better to drop the front axle.
Also the transfer case on my 2016 F150 Lariat says, “Use MERCON LV ONLY.”
You have a 2 speed torque on demand transfer case that is why.
When are you going to show off your fluid pump cart? I wish, I had that when filling the transmission.
gotta love the bean counters. cutting corners and making service difficult. is it really that expensive to put drain plugs in shit? maybe if they stopped overloading vehicles with useless creature features and distracting electronics they could save money. lol
Could put a front cover on with a drain plug in it, if inclined. I have one on my XJ rear diff, makes super easy work of fluid changes.
B. D. $100 is what mine cost
Bravo brother you are so right 👏👏. I agree 100 percent I own two ford f150's
cougar10ag
It’s our fault, as consumer, we are attracted by the shiny bells and whistles. Most people who buy a truck just want to show off, their truck is always shiny and clean with fancy rims....
I'm wondering if I dare carefully drilling the bottom of the case, tapping with a 1/4" fine thread, and using a short 1/4" fine thread bolt, with sealer applied, to plug the hole? I'll have to think about it ?
Do you have a video on how to change valve cover gaskets on ford 3.0 motors, I'm trying to do mine on my 07 ford fusion
Hey big fan here watching your videos all the time nice work. I want to ask a question the rear differential and the front differential are the same gear Ratio or they're slide difference. The vehicle is Ford Explorer 2004 4X4
My front diff is leaking after 4x4 use and being parked in my garage. How do I change the gasket, and do I need to check the vent?
Thanks for sharing this.
After watching this video i had both diff fluids changed, transfer case fluid,and trans filter with fluid. Front diff had little milkyness in it so the opened it up and checked it out. All was well.
Very good video, this is an over looked maintenance item. Not sure if you ever did a 3.5 duratech water pump, its very involved, expensive.
They are the worst! Getting that front cover back down in there without disturbing the sealant is such a pain.
I own a 08 f150 4.6, I had a stick jam between my diff cover and housing, I had to take the cover off, it is possible. But it's a pain in the neck.
Bro , thnx for video!
Help me - what liquid need me for front differential for 99 lincoln navigator? Same like rear differential, 75w-140?
I have a question for you. I hear a low volume/high pitched whine only at 50-55mph. It cuts out once I get towards 60mph. The only info I have been able to find is possibly the front differential. I drive a 2012 FX4. Does this make sense? Awesome video, been subscribed for a long time. Thanks
Could you possibly make an inspection video of the differential parts? My output axle on the driver side has some up and down play, not certain If that’s normal.
Thanks for the video. I’m trying to look up the same vinyl tubing you mentioned but everything I’m seeing looks way too flexible. Any chance you have a link to the less flexible end tubing you used?
OK I hope you can definitely answer this question I have a 2009 F150 and I’m having a bad problem with the rear bouncing it seems to me it comes from the left side of the rear of the truck
Here are the things that I did myself to figure it out or limited it which did not work
Rear traction bars
Driveshaft replaced with all new u joints and seals
I replace the rear wheels and tires
I replace my rear shocks with new one my left shock was completely shot
Having new one it’s still doing the same thing I don’t know if It’s the wheel bearings in the rear or differential differential fluid was changed as well what is your opinion ???
So whatever’s going on on my left side destroyed my rear left shock
Hi... Great video. What do you think about using amsoil 75w-110.. would that be ok ??
Hi really glad to find your channel this time around with the F-250. Could you tell me on a 2008 f-250 if the front diff acts the same as F-150 without the passive spinning? or is it always spinning? My Dad just got a 350 dollar quote to flush his out asap because it spins regardless of being in 4wd? Either way I'm gonna top it up next week, drain it first if i can and theres any left. On its last legs anyways.. Thanks for your video, Im hoping the drain plus came off with just a 3/8 drive socket!
I would think if the hand pump works to put the fluid in , it should work to pump out the old fluid if you attach a hose to the end that goes into the quart bottle, and insert the other end into the diff.. Might be slow but how often does a diyer need to do this ?
kick-ass as always
Great vid like always!! On your next vid can you make a vid on how to change an oil pump on a 04-08 F-150?? That would be awesome. Thanks in advance👍🏼
I have a video on that
FordTechMakuloco Ok thanks bud! I’ll search for it👍🏼
I like this channel.I have 3 Ford truck restorations going on with 1982-3 build F-350,E-250econoline camper, turtle top,351WHO,1985,35,000mi ,1997 4.6,4x4 short bed,5-speed.351W in the F-350, it's been built with several parts trucks,has mechanical clutch instead of hydraulic,4-speed, not sure what the transmission year is,it tops out 60-70, lower geared, I would like to find a small block, carburetor, engine to stick in until I get the 2 351W rebuild complete, I was told that 351W would interchange with the 4.6, I should have went to headers instead of the new Dorman exhaust manifolds, I got a new NAPA pipe bender I have had and it's never been used,12ton hydraulic, also want to bend the headlights surround on the huge chrome front bumper guard.Challenge.
always lok forward too youre next ford vidieo
suppose in the event the front diff cover is leaking, is there a way to loosen the front steering rack enough to move it out of the way? or any other way to repair the leak?
I own a 2016 F150 King Ranch that has drive options of 2H, 4H, 4L and 4A. Rarely take it out of 4A. Is my front differential turning all the time just like the rear? If so does it need fluid change more often?
I did this service the other day, and the fluid was very milky just like you showed. I also did the rear diff and the fluid was dark, but there was no sign of moisture. I have read that there may be a design issue with the vent on the front diff that allows moisture to enter, especially of you wash your car with a pressure washer or spray water into the engine compartment. Is there an issue with the vent that should be checked or addressed to make sure this doesn't happen in the future?
Subject is a 2011F250 SD 4x4 6.7 with 170K on the ticker. Front diff never serviced but probably less than 2K in 4x4 mode. I,m thinking a cover removal and full clean out lots more work but me thinks the correct approach. YES??
Hi Brian. Got a 2015, calls for 75w85 motorcraft synthetic. Should I be fine to use 75w90 Royal Purple synthetic (or similar synthetic)? This front diff has the 4auto clutches, I’m hearing a slight rotational noise as I drive, gets louder as it warms up. Thinking maybe some fresh oil may help. Would friction modifier help the clutches? Any insight would be much appreciated thanks
I love your videos, I am a Ford guy and you're very informative. I have a 13 Explorer Sport, that has extremely good preventive maintenance done to the truck. However, I have noticed that I am getting a clicking sound when at low speeds. I have a feeling it could be the front dif. The transmission was replaced by Ford back in September of 18. My question to you is, when doing a transmission job, is the dif something that should have been tended to as well during the job??
The transmission is completely independent from the differentials- front n rear. The clicking sound, if coming from the front end while turning could be universal or cv joints depending on what Ford used for that model.
HELP!!! I have an 04 Expedition that has a leaking axle shaft seal. Its the front passenger side where the axle housing connects to the CV axle. Any suggestion how to get a new axle seal in there? Do I have to tear it down all the way to the diff?
Thanks!
Where can that wand you utilized for your F150 Front Differential Fluid suction be purchased? Thanks for the links on where to buy the other tools and fluids!
KC
FordTechMakuloc, do you have a video that shows how to remove the front diff cover?
Why do you remove the cover on the rear differential, but not the front? Is it harder to get to? And can you use this method in the rear also so you dont have to re-do the seal, or do you really need to get in there and clean the metal filling out? Thanks
Thank you, great vid
Hello. I have a 2016 Ford explorer sport and it doesn't have a front diff. It does have e a ptu mounted on the side of the trans. My question is how often do these need to be looked at ? My truck was at 40k miles and my ptu split in half. Took it to the dealer to fix it. Now at 53k miles my truck is in the shop getting the trans fixed. Is this a problematic setup ? Its 3.5 ecobeast and all wheel drive with terrain management.
I have a '99 5.0 AWD Explorer, and I don't know the service history. I want to change the differential oil both front and back, the transfer case oil, and the transmission fluid. Is the process for the front the same as shown here?
I think one of the best tips is at the 4:00 mark. If your drain tube gets caught up, just rotate the tire. Should allow for better access.
I had a very difficult time with this. Even though I was using a small diameter tube, there was only a very small window where I could get it in past the gears.
@@av8rgrip agreed. Next time I'll use a much more flexible hose.
@@av8rgrip Do you think there would be any benefit to just jacking up the left side during extraction then let down to level when filling?
@@jaym7369 I don’t think it would matter. I had my son rotating a tire very slowly back and forth until I found a spot to get past the gears. I don’t think jacking would move the fluid out of the sump.
@@av8rgrip I agree with draining it. I think the truck being flat and not jacked up may be more critical when refilling.
Looks like a great place to use my Topsider vacuum oil changer ;)
I was searching for a rattling noise under my truck. With the drivers side tire off the ground i could hear clunking in my front differential when I spun my tire forward and reverse by hand. Is that normal? I’m thinking that’s the source of my rattle since everything else in the suspension, tie rods, bearings ect. seems tight
Just a thought but might want to take compressed air (don't forget your safety glasses) or small wire brush and clean around the threads of the plug after you break it loose but before it's actually removed. Love your Videos!
I do that sometimes if there is enough gunk packed around it otherwise if you think about it we are removing the plug outwards, then wiping the threads and on top of that changing the fluid.
What are your thoughts on a iwe delete? I have been having issues as have meant others with the vacuum system. My main concern is in regards to if the front diff can handle the additional wear. Or am I mistaken? Will only the cv axles be the only thing spinning if I delete the iwe?
My truck feels like it’s jerking forward when I take off from a stop but it drives perfectly fine after that. I pulled the fill plug from my front diff and found it to be extremely milky. Could this cause this jerking feeling? Thanks in advance if you answer me!
Hello, I have a 2008 ford explorer v8 and for the sconde time i have replaced the front differential, is there a possibility that the cause of my differential keeps on breaking could be a bad transfer case or front drive shaft???
