Check out that steering dampener. Most always faulty unless updated from dealer. 20N04 extended coverage.
Andall they needed to do to prevent all this spending money on parts and labor was squirt a bit of grease in ‘em every once in a while. Price of being LAZY…..EXPENSIVE!!!! (I didn’t hear you say anything about THAT!! You should’ve said that right when you discovered the bind. That all they needed to do was give the dang thing a shot oe two of grease once in a while and they could’ve prevented this whole mess, but it’s to your benefit to get their business I guess, eh?? Hmmpf.
You got it apart. Makes no sense to do it all to both sides. But then you look at owners lack of easy regular maintenance they will only let Ray do the least work then complain when another should have been replaced part fails.
Your ability to diagnose issues is superb.
Nicely done Mr. Ray. Enjoyed the logic behind the disassembly. Just shows that experience pays off.
Back in high school on Maui in Hawaii, we all drove some sort of 40's and 50's military jeeps.
We had locking hubs that were tough to change the position on. Later out jeep wagoneers and other trucks also had.
The death of them was changing the position from lock to unlocked and forgetting the other side. Then driving across the island with one wheel hub locked. Great way to burn up the hub or universal. They didn't have no fancy light to tell us if they were in either position.
I had the exact same problem on my 97 f350. We replaced the axle u-joints and the inner seals in the differential. We had it all apart, putting in a Eaton true-trac. The original u-joints had no grease fittings and were dry causing the needle bearings to rust. I was really glad to get it all fixed and not get stranded offroad. Long-time fan.
Thanks Ray .
Hate that Carolina Squat. Not sure why people do that. Again, a great diagnostic video!
Cause they are moronic
Same reason that everybody takes and lifts them up and puts those worthless thin wide tires on them! Otherwise known as, California Chitty Chitty bang bang
As someone who lives in carolina and does Alignments for a living, Im cool with them fucking up their trucks if i get to fix it.
Yep I'd have seen the spacers and the ghetto lights and told the kid to come get his truck. Jeez !!
Wife unit should get credit as the 2nd unit camera operator.
The 'Carolina Squat' is illegal in North and South Carolina, and Virginia. It didn't even originate in the Carolinas. It's from California and from Baja racers. It looks like a dog dragging it's itchy sphincter on the carpet and screws up suspension geometry. This truck had all the poser toys.😂
Positive proof that you need to keep up on vehicle maintenance, especially with 4x4’s with lifts and larger tires. Learned that from my auto shop teacher when I was 16. Thanks Mr. Little and cool video Ray!
Dude needs to get that truck dewormed so it’ll stop dragging it’s ass around.
@@gimmeaford9454 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@gimmeaford9454 I love this 😂😂😂😂😂
The level of troubleshooting by Ray is a sign of excellence. The commentary while repairing the vehicle helps with understanding how too repair like vehicle's
What a clever - and entertaining - diagnostic video. Your knowledge never ceases to amaze me. Thanks for sharing this video, Ray.
as an ex plowing business owner whos owned many super dutys i knew exactly what this was the moment you said it ive done them a few times im just mad at how quickiy you got that hub off lol and not fighting that big snap ring for hours.... that thing can be a nightmare
I took an alignment class from Hunter. The instructor said that the F-250/350 came with factory Death Wobble.. We all laughed had a good time....he then showed us the recalls and probable causes of Death Wobble. One of them from Ford was that if said truck was lifted to remove lifted parts and return to factory spec, another was to make the caster more negative. I thought it was a neat thing to learn. That's also why I watch Ray to learn other methods of fixing problems.. Thanks Ray.
Hunter is a marketing company. They give you their version of what an alignment. He was right about removing the aftermarket parts, but with a solid front axl, you can't adjust caster/SAI. Also, if it was adjustable, you would need to make caster more positive, not negative. That's why its prone to death wobbles in the first place. A solid front axl forces your front end geometry to be less than optimal. Its a sacrifice made to increase durability.
I think you meant to say, make the caster more positive. I need to get the aftermarket eccentric cones (that install on the ball joints) for my 2005 F350 4x4 front end so I can increase the caster angle. No death wobble but it tends to wander and not return to center as much as it should.
That was simply amazing. The logic you applied was faultless. If it's not this, it has to be that. And the way you explained everything was captivating and entertaining. Looking forward to the next video. Have yourself a great day.
Couldn't agree more!
The process of elimination. Hummmm....this part looks okay....let's dig deeper....this part is okay too....lets dig deeper...AH! what have we here?
Havent found a Ford Dealership yet that will acknowledge that the deathwobble is real.
This. I brought my F350 to the dealership and said I had the death wobble. He tried to act puzzled. I told him to cut the shit he knows what it was. They still didn't fix the issue.
There’s nothing quite like the sound of a bellowing big block. I was somewhat lucky to have experienced a Chevy 350 in a boat with no muffler, no catalytic, just a straight pipe. On weekends we could wake up the whole postcode with that baby.
Your diagnostic capabilities are phenomenal.
Concerning any flex or tilting of the lift....you could always get a digital angle finder. They're magnetic and measure in 10ths of a degree. Put it on the lift, zero it out and then, if the lift tilts even the slightest, it'll show up. They cost less than $40
I see lots of super-trucks with massive tires, shiny, bling and zero dirt, scratches, reality.
It's like the jeans that are sold with holes, as tho the wearer actually ... worked .. hahaha
I am super glad you are here too
My 2001 Super Duty had greasless ball joints. Took plugs out put zerks in and greased them . Took care of my catch problem in the stearing . Life time grease ran out at 50,000 miles lol 😆
We ended up putting zerks in everything we could. Huge difference in the handling.
Diagnosis: the axle goes flippity, but not floppity.
I was a truck mechanic decades ago. I worked for an oil well drilling company and the two managers had Chevy suburbans with 4-wheel drive. The steering axle used a double u-joint assembly on each wheel and those u-joints would go out every few months.
Royal pain in the rear to fix. Nothing was easy about taking it apart, replacing the u-joints, or reassembling it. And they never wanted to replace the other one at the same time because they were too busy. So when one went out you new you would have it back in a few weeks later to do the other side. And they were busy busy busy, hurry it up, what is taking so long.
I NOW HAVE A LUMP ON MY FORHEAD!😂😂😂😂
In regards to the heavier socket, you're correct. Because K= 1/2MV^2. The more mass or velocity, the more kinetic energy available. Having phun with physics
Exact same problem with my 14 F250. A Shop swore that couldn’t be the problem. I put the truck on a lift myself and there it was. Scared me a few times straightening out of a corner and the wheel didn’t want to come back to center.
Just think a little grease over the years and that part would probably still be good. Great call Ray!
Super diagnosis, without any other possibility. This is it. A few new parts, and its good to go. Great job Ray!
Well done finding this odd problem: it's not obvious. An 88 F250 I used to own had the exact same issue. As I recall, I had to disassemble the wheel bearing to get to the nuts holding the spindle to the knuckle, which, this being in New England, was properly rusted in place. I had to jack the spindle out with a ad hoc screw jack between one of the spindle studs and the wheel bearing nut. But it fixed the steering problem when all was done.
Very nice! I always enjoy the methodical progression of finding the problem.
I am amazed at the clean state of that undercarriage. This same truck up here in the salted North would be a heap of frozen nightmare rusted garbage 😂
I'm always jealous of Florida and California mechanics for this reason.
yeah, you should have seen my 2012 Wisconsin truck. I put my foot through the bed one day, Ford put this insulating patch underneath above the DPF, water traps in it and rots the bed from underneath. My front looked horrible from all the rust and took hours to clean up enough so it could be painted with rust barrier and enamel.
Your detectiving skills are on point, nice work Ray . You never disappoint with the videos 🤘🤘🤘
Great video Ray!... Looking forward to the repairs
I was watching you bash that ball joint and the next thing I knew I seeing black!!!😂😂😂
Excellent diagnosis Ray!
Love the walk through, as you ID'd the issue -- I have an F350 variety, a little older, but same front end setup.
Great video and thanks much for putting out the info!
Great work ray loved the diagnosis
Wow, when you were trying to turn the wheel I could have swore I saw that right side universal jump, it binded just as you put pressure on the wheel just to turn it
Yes, you're right. Noticed it myself and wondered what caused it - and now we know 😁
@@jimsweeney I'm glad I wasn't the only one who saw that😃 was thinking I might have had to much coffee lol
I have done many of these bearings, seals, axles, and like A-Rod, I am jealous of that disassembly. I work about 30 minutes north of him, and much rust is seen in these parts. May it all go smooth.👍👍
Very nice Ford F250 some Nice Suspension goodies Like the Fox 2.0's love it and that ranch hand bumper is sweet 7:00 @Rainman Ray's Repairs
Ray! My hat off to you brother, I see even wife unit pitching with the videos you record for us to watch man, I appreciate what you do as I myself try to be as good and honest with my customers. I’m an hvac service tech, love your videos man!🦾🤙🦾
"Squishy Pieces of Meat" was my favorite 80s band!
Good job Ray.
Superb diag Ray ur always on point
I had the same problem on my f250 aswell. Those are the only grease zerks on the whole truck. Luckily I just greased them and didn't have to replace. Now I grease them every oil change and no problems since.
Good morning mr. Ray's repairs. Love the show been following a while. Keep up the good work and have a beautiful day:-)
The lack of periodic maintenance killed this one. Dry grease zerks point the way. Awesome call on the U-joint!
You called that one saw same exact thing.
Wow Ray, that was an amazing video of your talent in finding the problem pretty quick. Awesome work! 👍🏻
Awesome breakdown
That ford 4x4 vacuum seal is a replacement every time it’s taken apart and has a special tool to reinstall it. Done many of them.
Supposed to smoke test the seal afterwards to make sure it doesn’t leak vacuum.
Kit from ford comes with new o rings on the bearings and a new cover gasket. Be sure to replace them all.
I ran into this 7 or so years ago,however we had a severe steering shimmy. Great diag my friend!
thankyou Ray,looking forward to the follow up,,have yourself a great day too,,👌👌
I have same truck and the same Big-Azz pliers... I don't have this problem yet, but when I do, it's coming to you!!! From West Palm... Cheers.
Another great video. Very informative, thanks Ray.
Good job! Love the sound of that machine. Looks groovy too. Ford and GM have always been rivals, which is actually good for the industry, as each one tries to outdo the other.
Good call on the u-joint find
Nice work!!
Notice: Look at the inner end of the axle shaft. It is dry as a bone, no axle lube. In fact the whole axle shaft is totally dry. Check the axle fluid level, its extremely LOW!
That Ford got the "South Carolina Squat' going on. lol
Greetings Ray and good day to you! 😂
Funny, watching you take apart stuff that I put together in the factory years ago.😂 ktp truck plant Louisville Kentucky
You the MAN, great work
The knockout had me cracking up. Thanks for the good video editing ray
Nice find Ray!!! Have a great day!!
Everyone of us in the rust belt are so jealous!
In this age of "modern" vehicles and tools there is still no substitute for a big hammer.
I’m loving this video. Can’t wait for II.
I like that The suggested videos that came up after this were for Eric O replacing the front axle U-joints on an F-250. I bet he'll have a much more difficult time getting the axle out.
Love that tool!
This was a good one Ray
Nice truck. Of course it's Wife Unit approved. 😁
Some times, when you put enough "a problem"s together, you get "the problem".
Bash me with a hammer, will you. My lawyer will be in touch! 😃
Morning ray keep up the great videos 💪🏻
Your videos are the best to watch when it comes to this stuff, no one even comes close to your content.
i love watching you work on them monster trucks you make it look so easy. Why
Not sure why it’s so common for Superduty owners and lube shops to miss the front you ujoints. All Superdutys with the Dana 60 or Super 60’s have serviceable front ujoints. They are the only grease fittings on the truck. Make a habit of hitting them with a couple pumps of grease at least twice a year, or more if you use four wheel drive often.
As I live and work in a salt belt Ray you are blessed with so little rust. Up here I guarantee that would have been a major battle to disassemble. What I find concerning as well is the amount of metal chunkies in the splines around the snap ring at 36:00 minutes into the video. More damage in there besides the u joint.
Your factory steering damper is in a binding angle witch can cause a binding reaction.
Brilliant you have give us a very informative Video thank you ,and thank you for the very informative video
I thought that thing had the "Wide Trac Pontiac" look to it.
No wonder it drives funny, Mr Tropicana! 😂
As the saying goes…
“I love work: I could watch it all day”🤠
20:46 you can actually see the u-joint pop when you 'turn' the wheel.
ray back in the 69 70 80 we used slpinting wedges you hammered in to take tie rods ball joints apart. think harbor freight still sells them. mac tool and snapon did back in the day. never failed to take tapper joints apart. thanks. from old mach. keep up the good work.
Only problem with them, tore the boots up. Ray doesn't know for sure he will replace them.
Great catch! I’m thinking that truck never gets put in four wheel drive. With the hub unlocked and the transfer case in neutral, nothing spins. The axle and u- joint find their happy place and stay there, causing the u- joint to seize. I think running in four wheel drive every once in a while is a must!
Judging by the appearance and cleanliness of the truck, I think the poseur owner never gets further 'off road' than a gravel parking lot. This in spite of the thousands he has spent on his manly posturing.
Or just don't buy a 4WD vehicle if you don't actually need the extra traction. A 2WD truck will be able to haul/pull more on dry pavement, is cheaper, and there are fewer parts to fail. Two thumbs up for Ray's diagnostic skills and attention to detail!
@@stevepreskitt283Why will a 2WD be able to haul more? Just the reduced weight?
@@mxpants4884 Reduced weight and reduced friction in the front end by eliminating the transfer case, front diff, axles/U-joints, etc. If you look at the specs on comparable 2WD/4WD models, the 2WDs will pretty much always have a higher cargo/trailering capacity.
@@stevepreskitt283 Thanks for the easy to follow explanation!
nice work
You see how much time he took to find the problem that’s a real mechanic and some people don’t want to pay for that well guess what if you wanna just change parts go right ahead get a real Mechanic like this guy Mr rain man Ray
Ray you made that look easy 😂 great job
Watching this video, even though I own a 05 Toyota Corolla was very relaxing. Helped take away my anxiety. Lmao!
You're the man!
Happy hump Day Ray. Safety first is a good work sense. I definitely don’t want either a Superduty or a Civic falling on me.😳
wow ray tammer happs wicked outstanding video as always ray your the man but the most important thing is to have your self a great day ray
Tammer Haps was a phrase worth me getting up for earlier than needed!
quick diagnosis, I guess it helps when you know the possible causes and start working up.
yep, my rear bumper for the 83 ranger i had came from an s10, fits perfectly, it's like they were made by the same company or something.
Great video
They are ALL great videos!!!
I’ll start out by commenting that the physics have been altered which might screw with driving quality.
Hey Ray is the sticker on the drivers side of the windshield for all your heaters haha:))))))😂 you didn’t think we saw it
A 4 minute video on YT that isn't very informative or entertaining: "When will it end?!?"
A 40 minute video from Ray that's informative & entertaining: "What? It's over?!?".
To be fair, Ranch Hand just makes the best heavy duty grille guards and bumpers around. Can't tell you how many I sold for Ram trucks when I was at the Chrysler dealership. They're good stuff, and their grille guards were the only ones I found where if they claimed to not interfere with front end sensors, they didn't. I know the shop had some issues with other brands that would claim to not interfere, but still end up tripping them. If i could afford a modern truck from any automaker, my 13 years of parts experience would make me want a Ranch Hand for it.
Good catch, most people forget to grease those joints. Arod is going to be jealous or the lack of rust.
