Hello,
I currently own an 04 Expedition 5.4l..I don't have the words to Express my gratitude and how grateful I am for the hard work and the amount of knowledge that you pass down to people like me that enjoy working on their personal vehicles... I been working on making very important maintenance repairs and preventative work on my Expedition for about a month now getting it ready for a 5,000 mile trip... and you have been all alone with me teaching me how to do work in my Expedition... I don't know of anyone has told you this, but I felt compelled to write to you and tell you this...I been a subscriber for a while now.. and will remain for as long as your channel exists....THANK YOU A MILLION... AND GOD BLESS.👍
Your video saved me and my carpool from being stuck at work. God bless you bro
I can tell by the way you explain things on your videos you know what you're doing. Anyone who makes things look simple, even though this isn't a real tough job, you obviously have some experience in this field.
Thanks for the video. I had bought a serpentine belt, thermostat, and thermostat sealing o-ring for my 2003 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer with the 5.4 litre 2 valve engine. I followed your other video to change the thermostat and it made it very easy. Then I followed this video for the serpentine belt and inspection of the tensioner bearings and the idler pulleys bearings, water pump, alternator, and power steering pump. The belt installation was a little more difficult to do because the fan shroud sticks out much further than other models making it difficult to get my hands in around all of the hoses and other items. I persevered with my iPad sitting there playing your video for reference and accomplished the job. After filling the cooling system with Ford antifreeze and distilled water, running the engine, topping it up with more Ford antifreeze I was done. I went for a test drive and found that the engine came to temperature properly, the squealing noise is gone and the engine ran smoother than it has in the past 3 years. Thanks again for the great instructional videos.
Thank you for posting your videos. I picked up a used 2007 F150 this past spring. I have never owned a truck before and your videos have allowed me to do much of the maintenance needed to keep it on the road and running. I have saved close to $1500 dollars in labor cost with the work I have completed thanks to you. Keep it up. Much appreciated.
Replaced my tensioner pulley, idler pulley, and serpentine belt on my 2000 Ford F-250 6.8L V-10. I used all Motorcraft parts and everything went smoothly. Thanks for the great video!
Thanks for the video sir. The techs around my area wanted $50 to $70 labor to replace the belt on my 2006 Mustang. For the price of a cheap breaker, and 10 minutes later I was done. You saved me a bunch of money, and I now have a breaker bar.
I have sifted through tons of different videos for how to do different repairs on my 99 Ford 5L Expedition. I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the hands on "layman" approach you use in your videos. It has helped me a helluva lot and made repairs so much better for me. Thanks again. I am not a big subscriber but I did on your channel. Keep putting out the good stuff. Cal
Same here on the layman approach! Subscribed also. Thank you Sir!
Very helpful thank you hands down your channel makes the 5.4 a whole lot more tolerable.
Should a new grooved pull have a slight wobble?
Still sucks pretty bad lol
💯👌🏻
@@lindseyyah1 no absolutely Not
Thanks! A 1/2 breaker bar was one of the first tools I bought on my DIY repair journey a couple years ago. This was an easy replace (some cracking on inspection) and all my stuff was spinning good! I appreciate your channel a lot!
I can't thank you enough for how detailed and simple your video was. I had a 2011 e350, former Penske truck, and I watched about 10 videos. None of them were helpful and I was stuck until I found your video. I liked and subscribed. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you and video. Bailed me out
Why is there so many dislikes on this video? The comments are nothing but positive and it was a very well made video that i'm about to be studying as I do this.
🤔Can tell how old this comment is just by the information you had back then..lol... 2023 YT don't like not liking...
Thanks so much for your videos. Today I replaced my serpentine belt and serpentine belt tensioner on my 2009 F-150. These words: serpentine belt and serpentine belt tensioner were never in my vocabulary. I've never heard of these car parts. Your step by step videos made every thing so clear. I really appreciate how you put your camera really close to the part you're working on and explain in simple terms what to do. Thanks again-Carole
Great vids ! I work almost exclusively on Subarus and when I have a problem with a Ford your videos always seem to run me through it quickly and concisely thanks for putting in the effort!
Today! My belt jumped and seized a roller and killed power to truck on side of the road. Sourced an instant replacement locally, “called a friend” he picked it up, brought it to me, and replaced in under 2 hours in the dark (phone light)
Doubled check my favourite mechanic (FORDTECHMAKULOCO) video before friend showed up.
The ORDER of insertion, and the final pulley to EASY slide over to finish.
Thanks 🙏 ma dude!!
Still want to get the MELLING HV oil pump
For me, first time ever doing this. Everything went smoothly. You did good! Thanks brother!
You don’t disappoint man, every time I see your vids it’s spot on to the typical diy guy like me. Much appreciate it! Keep up the great work!
at 6:40 secs the pinched belt slip between idler pulley and tension-er pulley to attach to a/c was a very important ''trick'' i needed to learn...thank you
You´re the only one who explained and warned how to properly manage the belt tensioner. It´s a good thing I still wanted to check out if I had to set it to an specific psi measurement so I decided to check more videos then I found this one and learned to be careful and that in fact it is automatic . Thanks a bunch sir!
Love this guy how you explains everything step-by-step I've been watching a couple of his videos he does it very professional doesn't mind going to extra mile to explain people of what they can't see or what he is trying to do and if you seem to be confused he tries to explain to you as much as he can on a video good job keep it up trust me your help does help people with money problems as you could do it yourself and not going out there and spending a ton load of money for these type of services great job keep it up don't understand why people have thumbs down on this video If you're trying to help them obviously they're probably ignorant
Just changed my S. Belt. Thanks to you it went perfectly. Thank you so much! Great info, perfectly explained!
Excellent step by step. My old belt was fraying and the strands had begun wrapping around my water pump/fan shaft. I managed the belt swap with minimal cursing ;-) Thanks for the tips!
Just did the idler and tensioner pulleys with a new belt on my sons 2005 F250. Thanks to this video....it was a breeze! Love the videos and thank you for sharing👍🏻
Just had to do this in a gas station parking lot when mine broke on the way back from Chicago. This video saved my ass. Thank you 🤘🤘
Thank God for your great video on the serpentine belt. It helped me solve a problem I had at 4am.
Thanks for taking the time to show us how to put the belt back on. Very helpful!
I'm super jealous of how organized your garage is!! I can't even get my apartment organized!! and thank you for the great description, here I go! fingers crossed! aahaha
This video along with the diagram on the underside of the hood made the job pretty easy
Thank you for sharing this. Your videos have helped me out so much, learning how to fix it, and financially, by repairing my 01 4x4 Lincoln Navigator myself, and saving me money! Respect to you. I wish you continued success.
Just want to thank you for your very well performed instructional videos and for taking time to share what you know with others. I'm no mechanic so your videos take the guess work out of these jobs.
Your channel has literally saved My present structure from day to day over four situation stranded in the cold your videos got my unsure anxious trouble shooting, to a pointed direction based procedure so greatful
Please if you could just quickly answer this for me.does the shaft of the power steering pump pully slightly moved in and out as in toward the engine toward the fan no more then 3/16 to a 1/4 ruff estimate
Or is that considered needing a new pully or the complete assembled pump mind you the pully doesn't wobble or continuously spin
Perfectly normal even when new.
Thanks a ton for this video! Your tips made my Crown Vic belt replacement a breeze.
I Just wanted to take this time to thank you for all the info you give us and help us keep our cars "healthier", doing it right, and keeping the cost down. I'm at 62,000 miles on my 2012 Escape 3.0L. I like preventative maintenance and wanted to change out the serpentine belt on it. I realize that definitely one cannot change it by opening the hood, and doing it from the top as in this video. Do you think you can post a video of a belt change on an Escape?
Been following your videos for quite a while dude, just wanna give you props man, you're awesome!!. Keep up the good work. Going to change the belt on my 4.6 Explorer tomorrow and this gave me more confidence. Thanks for all your help
Thanks…took more time to watch than to do after watching!!
Best tutorial by far. Thank you!!!
Guess I shoulda watched to the end before commenting! Great video - you make it look easy! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Dude , you made that belt change in like 5 mins. It took me and a helper easily 30-40mins. It was my 1st time though.
This video saved me a lot of trouble. If you are parked against a wall when you are doing this you can push on the wall with your feet while kind of laying on the car to loosen the tensioner. Helps if you have a friend or 2.
Thanks for the tip on feeding it through and looping it on the a.c. first that one tip made the job so much simple. You are my go to channel on UA-cam for videso on my f150.
Thanks A lot!!! Was beating my head against the wall until I watched your vid. Good instruction!
Thanks for being very detailed and informative in your videos. Easy to follow.
Thank you very much. This made it so easy to change my belt. This is my first Ford expedition 03 5.4 and watching your channel I think it’ll last me a while. Thanks again
learned a trick i couldnt have done it without this video thanks a bunch
Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Thank you for posting the video. I know it's a lot of work to make any video.
IMHO I really couldn't tell from the video how you managed to wrap the belt
around the tensioner it looked like the grooves were facing down, but they
weren't they were facing upward. To eliminate the confusion you would grab
the bottom portion of the belt once it is wrapped around the air condition
pulley not the top part then wrap that around the crankshaft pulley.
I hope this helps some one else out. Many thanks again for posting it.
Thanks great straightforward video at a good angle and instructions. There was another on YT I thought was good but yours is the best and good tips what to listen for and feel,
Well Took about 10 minutes to do, pulleys checked out and tensioner was a bear to pull back with 15" breaker bar and pulley quiet so it's working great. Sadly I already had a Dayco belt, will be interesting as I had a Gates on a Nissan Maxima that dry rotted after 3 years.
good instructional video. if that new belt starts chirping soon after install theres a good chance it could be the harmonic balancer starting to fail. I think you saw the video I made on that repair 4.6L F150 where the crank pulley had a slight wobble.
This video just saved me on a Thanksgiving road trip!!! Saved lots a money bc of it... Good lookin out
Could if been much better with a separate camera person! I'm still not sure of the belt off the power steering!
Thanks man - you saved me! You made this look EZ. Wish there was as much room for my arms on my F150.
I'm glad you said to check the bearings on each of the pulleys. good check
Thank you so much man ! Great videos and SUPER easy steps to follow !
Best use for youtube for I've ever come across ..thank you ..
Great video. My F-150 didn't need the intake removed ... so bonus. Replacement was easy.
Thank you for taking the time to post this helpful, instructional video. Really appreciate the "tips and cheats". Made the job easy. Big thumbs up!!
Thanks for this video. I especially liked the tip on squeezing between the tensioner to get to the A/C pump. I have a 2000 e250. The last idler pulley at 11:59 is not on my engine(5.4L) it even shows your idler on my hood schematic, but I apparently don't need it. There's a spot there for one, but it's dry corroded and looks like there's never been anything in there. The routing of the belt is the same really, just minus the second idler. I had to pull the belt up over the top of the alternator pulley instead of what you did. which wasn't too difficult. I'm going to replace the tensioner. I did a goofy hack to bypass the A/c pump, which sort of worked for a good while...Long story. I take the left idler pulley off and replaced it with a slotted pulley, then re-routed with a different sized belt. I think it ruined my belt tensioner. The pulley was gouging a round trench on the front of the block.... My belt size is AC Delco 8K991. Curious if it's a different size than yours.
Thanks you are my mechanic I appreciate for what you’re doing
Thanks for posting and saving my bacon. It took me longer to put the belt back in than to change the alternator.
Thank god for this vid!...especially at work 😖
Thanks, worked great. I accidentally routed that last smooth idler before the alternator, but did not seem to make a difference. 2010 Explorer has a plastic conduit for the electrical clutch fan. Removed it first just to make it easier.
Thank you so much.. You really do a great job explaining and also I can hear and see what you did,, thank you again...
Great video. I have a 2003 Ford Expedition 146000 miles and I believe the serpentine belt is still the original. I recently had noise in my engine which came from a bad tension pulley and the pulley directly above it both was changed but the belt was not. now only the serpentine belt is making noise all my pulleys are looking properly aligned. the noise is on a cold start up and last for about 5 minutes or a short drive will stop the noise through the entirety of the ride. any suggestions?
Thank you amigo. I learn alot from you and your tips and experience.
Great video, I was able to change my belt quickly, the hardest part was to put the new one on, I checked the pulley as you suggested, and the bottom grub idle had a little move forward and backward so, I changed it for a new metal one, but the new one also has a little play back and forward, is this normal?
thanks for your help
Great video! Helped me change my belt quick and easy.
I dint look at how it was put in there very well I thought you had to move it around the fan to get it on haha thanks for the video helped me out
Really nice step by step video!!
Thank you so much..
Best video Great tips THANK YOU
Brian never us down!!! Thank you Brian!!!!
Well done. Extremely helpful to me. Thanks.
Really help me out. Saved me 200$ thank you
Could the Issue of squealing while accelerating be linked with this because I am having that issue and it only does it when I accelerate?
This information is timeless, thank you
Can a 4.6 out of a 2005 ford crown Vic p71 fit in a Ford expedition Eddie bauri edition but it has a 5.4 engine but it slung a rod??? I need help
Thanks for this video..Helped me alot!
great video ... any idea om how to do this on a 99f150 that has no ac ? the sticker with the diagram tells me to move the tensioner counterclockwise to bypass the cempressor , its seized soni will
have to buy a bew tensioner any idea on what part to get ? it seems not many models have that
option to bypass the compressor
Thank u!!! Just did it watching ur video!!
This will help me put on the belt when I get my new tensioner pulley assembly. Mine was completely seized, and I broke it trying to change my altenator.
Excellent video. Keep them coming.
With no leaks present then how do you determine if the power steering pulley bearing or the power steering pump are worn and need replacement?
Thank you. Most professional tutorial, as usual.
Gracias, muy buen video para nosotros que nos gusta reparar y conocer nuestros autos...!!
Got an 08 5.4 f150. Changed belt awhile back. Noticed some squeaking noise for awhile, changed tensioner squeaking got worse. I haven’t checked the idler pulley’s but when I spray water on the grooved pulley the squeaking goes away.
new belts slipping from power pump pulley.any ideas? other pulleys/idlers are fine.strange knocking sound since and gas gauge went to empty since then.why?
thank you soooooooo much for your time it helped me put on my belt all by myself without help from the hubby,,
Thanks and greetings from Panama
The images you attached are close to what my 2006 5.4 looks like but the idler pulley is missing in the diagrams. Also, the title lists 5.4L (2V & 4V). Mines a 3V. Otherwise it was a very helpful video. It's very tight getting to the compressor pulley from above. I found it easier to get it from below. I really enjoy your videos. Thanks!
How many miles were on this engine?
The manual for my 2010 Explorer 4.6L says 1st change out is at 150k. Will it really make it that long?
What do u know about bypassing the ac pulley . Is it possible on a 97 f150
Wow belt change was quick... that tool is nice.
Nice video! I just realized I’m missing the idler pulley on the right of the alternator.
I've seen videos where they removed the fan shroud and fan. Thanks because that's what I was about to do 😩
Makuloco how am I able to find out which engine I have 4.6 or 5.4 my vin says 5.4 but some pictures online of a 4.6 look similar to my engine can you help me out please it’s a 2002 F150 king ranch 4x4
The 1/2" drive was left behind in the spring tensioner on the special service tool of your serpentine breaker bar tool. Surprisingly no one else made that comment. 😮
I got expedition 2004 but I need to take off the compressor ac how I can do it
I need your help, guidance, or assistance. This was very helpful. I had to replace 1 flat and grooved idler pulley, the belt tensioner and pulley, and the belt. So i take the belt off and start taking off the tensioner, and flat pulley with ease. When i went to take off the grooved pulley on the bottom right side of my vehicle, the damn pulley bolt hole broke and half of it came out with the screw. I called around and everyone's telling me these i have to replace the entire cover for that simple part. Please tell me that that isn't true. It seems like it can be replaced. If it's possible to replace it, what should I do, or where are you located and I'll bring it to you. I have a 2003 Ford Expedition 5.4L. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks for the help!
Love your vids Thumbs up always thank you
Thank you so much... you got a sub out of me! I was staring at my belt for some time knowing one of those mechanisms was supposed to release tension, but I couldn't figure out which one. I got the answer I was looking for at 3:46! Thanks again!!!!!
Very helpful video, thanks.
