    Catastrophic engine problems on a modern Ford, what a surprise 😂
  • @philelliott5327
    I worked on this series of Rangers when they were new. They were very reliable apart from failed injectors, leaky rear mains, blown turbos, failed intercoolers, failed dpfs, rear axles noisy, oil consumption, ABS module failure, unannounced catastrophic engine failures, Other than that a great truck all round.😂
  • @alaneagle7545
    Diagnosis in seconds, plan in minutes, and carried out to perfection in an hour!! Top work and great video content guys 👍🤜🤛
  • @karimkalache712
    100 years of making engines and cars and they can only make them to last 90,000 miles, Good job Ford!
  • @lesmondk3376
    I used to drive a tow truck in NZ picked up hundreds of these crappy things the boss loved them they kept him in business lol
  • @uliman100
    That engine hoist deserves a bit of love... a nice clean and a nice coat of paint... it looks sad at the moment!
  • The joke at the end … I nearly fell off my chair, the missus thought I had lost the plot 😂😂😂
  • @johnsbond
    I found your channel a few months back now, so glad I did. Couple of top blokes doing quality work being open & honest about the ups & downs, ultimately sharing great content. Thank you.
  • @timbaker7994
    That joke rob just gold can we have one after every video this channel is pure gold 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
  • I just love seeing Chris’s personality coming through he’s much more relaxed on camera now and really interacts with us viewers, another great post guys looking forward to seeing you work on a truck again 👍
  • A bad advert for Ford. 100k looks like a well maintained engine and it's scrap? Pityful.
  • @hughzarie1860
    Guys why don’t you have some branded vehicle covers made for stuff you don’t want us to see in the background when filming. You could also use them to do “big reveals” or something like that. Obviously you can also sell them as well. Just a thought.
  • @abeeke85
    Australian mechanic here who work on a lot of these. Known issues with these engines. Call main dealer, as you’ll be surprised how affordable a complete new engine is. If you go with a used engine, consider putting in upgraded oil pump. Also very important procedure for changing oil and filter with these, if you leave it more then 5 minutes with no oil, it won’t get oil pressure. Love the channel, long time subscriber

    I had a 4yr old mk3 Cortina for 9 years, replaced brakes, sills, suspension, clutch, camshaft twice, rust galore repairs & full paint job & more, & it still only lasted another 12 months after I sold it. Put me off Fords for life - they were rubbish and would not let my family touch one ever since. Enjoyed your video, good fun to watch.👍
  • Smaller ford engines are total garbage. This catastrophic damage at 100K miles - that’s just the break in period for a Toyota. Outstanding content!
  • @Robhalifax
    Its worrying that it happened to a well maintained car. Whats to say the next engine wont do the same. Great content guys.

    Engine Hoists: A device used by mechanics all over the world to test the tensile strength of anything they forgot to disconnect :)
  • 3.2 ranger POS. Super hard to work on. EGR cooler replacement institute barstard of job. Oil pump chain breaker . Pig all round. Every time I see one on the road I cringe for the owner. Thanks for sharing. Following from Sydney Australia.
