You're one badass for working on the truck in 10 degree weather, and while it's snowing. You need a raise and a nap. Great job.

I totally agree!

Mad respect for you. Not many people willing to put in the hours anymore which is part of the reason these engines get such a bad wrap.

I totally agree. And when they have a concern they just keep driving it. Causing more damage. And making repairs much worse. These engines can last a long time if cared for.

Many Mechanic's would just rather put in a new motor to avoid actually doing real mechanic work. Anyone can pull a motor but not many can really fix an existing still good engine.

You're a true champion! Use 5W-30 in that puppy. I am glad to see you bringing this truck back to life. You've earned a subscriber in me, for sure! I'm thankful to have a job, a good wife, and 5 good little dogs.

A lot of fun watching this. I love seeing someone get down in the weeds of these vehicles and learning about the problems they have then improving. Ultimately the vehicles job is to get from point A to point B, interior imperfections or small dents don't change that. Great work, you're the man.

Thankful I watched this! Learned A LOT! Thanks for all your extra work to film!!

Good job. Love my 06. Luckily the previous owner fixed everything at the dealer already. I have the 5.4. With 218,000 highway miles. Runs like new. I'm in California. All I've done is get new falken AT tires and change the oil with 5 quarts supertech full synthetic and 2 quarts conventional. Runs like new. I got it for 5,200. Love it

This video just keeps popping up in my feed, so i finally watched it. Now i wish i saw the rest first

Good job. I'm a ford guy, I know exactly what you had to do. Using OEM parts is paramount!

I've got an 06 that I bought with 80k on it. Now has 137000 miles. I paid 15500 for it but I've had it for 8 years and its been paid off for a while. I'm about to do this exact same repair on it. I dont mind dropping the money into it since new trucks are so expensive. This thing will last a long time. You inspired me to do this. Good Job Buddy!

Your a true truck guy, working in snowy, cold weather. Man hats off to you. Great guy👍

You've done a fantastic job on this truck, well done Sir.

Thank you for posting your work, it's fanatastic. I've learned a lot.

I was shocked to see you plug it in! I am Canadian and only plugged my f150 in when it went below -30C or -20F. (with a good battery!)

I'm 75 and used to do all my own work..Wish I still could but I'm thankful for every guy or gal that has a work ethic like yours! If you were nearby I'd love to come over and work with you!!

Hey, I love the fact that you are so amazingly honest and talking about where you fucked up at. Pretty damn impressive. I would say the fender cancer is in its first stage. Easy to take care of.

I have to say what a great job. I am so glad that you change that oil. When you were talking about all the fuel going into the cylinder the first game that came to mind what is that is all in your oil pan. You remind me of myself. We are willing to buy someone else's headache and we know how to do the work to fix it the right way. You are also like me in the fact that when you are fixing one thing you go ahead and take care of other issues that could come up later on. I'm looking forward to watching your other videos. Also you are the man. Anybody that goes outside in 10 degree weather and work on the vehicle is the man. I've done my share I was working in the cold I can honestly say as far as I can remember it was never 10 degrees. I have done what you did as far as staying up all night working on something. Good luck my friend and I look forward to watching more of your videos.

Happy Thanksgiving bro bro Glad da truck fixed Im thankful for my fams n my peoples. Im also thankful Im Black excellence.

Good job, tough working in those temps. You have my respect

Great Job ! All your hard work paid off! Nice truck! I really like your vids you are a cool guy! Peace to you and yours.

Respect for your hustle. Gem of a channel. Can't wait to see what you have next brother.

That's not an easy job if you're working indoors and using a lift. Don't even want to think about having to do it with a couple of jacks and outside in the elements. I had to subscribe out of respect alone. In the first video with this truck you said that this isn't a "how to" channel and it doesn't need to be because there are plenty of those already on KZread. This is a "can do" channel and I hope it helps to inspire others into tackling big jobs that they think they need a fancy shop for. Much love for Stack.

You did a bad to the bone job!! Very inspirational and I plan to do mine in the spring!! Thanks buddy!!

I am thankful for people like you.

Great job on this truck. I did the phasers and whole timing set on my 06 and still drive it Dailey with 184000 miles

Just replaced my ‘06 with an ‘18. I still have the old one bc I couldn’t get enough for it from the dealer (my first new truck). In many ways I like the old truck better. You are a trooper working on that thing and in that cold. Rust sucks. You are an inspiration!

Props to you, sticking to it. Perseverance! And i just figured that you cut the last video short because you wanted us to tune in next time.

I'm thankful for my life and the postion I'm In to get ready to to try to start a small bizness of my own

Go to walmart, get some medical syrynges for baby medecine. The bigger one. Injector orings fit snug in these, the red tube from carb cleaner fits tight in the other end. attached a couple leads or junk pigtail. 1. spray carb cleaner into the tube, it will pressurize, and hold. 2. tough the leads to the battery intermittently, it will activate the injectors. The pressurce cleaner through the injector. Same as a proffessional cleaning. You can watch the spray pattern open up and begin to atomize better.

Man i can’t believe I just found ur channel! Super respect for your knowledge and being tenacious! I’m a doctor and can’t wrench as much as I want. I’m a ford / Lincoln/ mercedes guy. Weird right. I love my FoMoCo stuff. Have an 06 Navigator I won’t part with. Take great care have 131k ZERO trouble miles on that horrible 5.4. Had several 3v. If u take care of them they take care of you. Better than most of my Mercedes. Your videos are like watching a movie waiting for next episode. Awesome job. I live in Arkansas and if it got 10 degrees here we would have to shut everything down. All the respect! Watching all your “movies” even letting commercials play for ur channel. Good luck !

I enjoyed the video, very informative, I know the 5.4 have some issued if maintenance is not kept up, specially with oil. Alot time they just seem to wanna just replace the engine.

Truck looks great.. good job 👍

I'm glad you got that truck running good! I gave up on my F150 but I'm thankful that I have a reliable truck I replaced it with.

Great Job. it's good to know that there's still some People who can pick Themselves up by their own Bootstraps.

Thank God for all and everything good and bad!!! Watch how much he blesses you!!!

Wow great job man. I have a 2009 Ford F150 with a 5.4 it did the same thing at 168,000 miles. We pulled it apart and rebuild it and I now have 210,000 miles on it my neighbor has one identical to yours with over 350,000 miles on it he rebuilt the whole engine at 200,000 miles. And he says he will do it again. Good luck with that truck thank you great video

Good job bro you came up . Keep up the good work .

Smart to change the oil after all those problems with injectors. 5W-30 is the right oil to use with these engines. Especially as they age. Great job on the bulletproofing.

Hell yeah bro, nice job and a hella good deal for the truck. You know now you got no worries now.

Good job bro get er done !

You just gained a subscriber sir. Great work. I’ve got an 06 f150 with the 5.4 3v as well and my next project is those damn phasers.

Good job on fixing your truck. I just bought a 2002 f 150 lariat super crew 4 door for 500.00. Runs great has 307000+ miles. I am waiting for the day that I get to pull the engine. Thanks for your video.

good deal on the truck, great work you did in cold super props on that

Dude. Gotta admire your passion and tenacity. 10 degrees? Uh uh. Not me. Good fortunes man!

That's an awesome job. Well done.

good job man....................that is nasty cold out there and you did good.

I have 05 dodge ram, had to do alot of work to keep it going at 141000 miles on it, but it's so worth it in the end, ford, chevys, dodge, alll worth it, i enjoy doing my own work, great job brother

I thank God for your Videos! God blessed you!

Great job :) Thanks for sharing.

Minnesota badass, 10 deg, snowing, barehands, even got some accent!

the reward for knowing your stuff and having the guts to attempt is a very nice truck for super cheap, hope my '05 timing job goes as well... and yeah OEM for the win

Props u didnt give up and got that Ford running like new!

Good job sir! I have done a ton of these trucks. Once you do everything you just did they are great. I would have suggested installing the updated lash adjusters and followers but that would be about all i would add.

Good video and the previous video. This gives me the confidence to see to it that my recent purchase of a 2007 F150 with the 5.4 v8 can indeed be fixed. I bought it for my wife who loved my 06 Silverado 2500 HD 6.6 Diesel with the Allison. However, its too much truck for her and her delivering our boys to school and track meets etc. I bought her a pretty Red & Silver F150 with 220 on the clock. I drove it 2000 miles from TN to IA and then towed an 3,000lb equipment trailer with a 3,700 lb payload from IA to WY 850 miles. After my trip I noticed that the 5.4 used 7 quarts of oil. A few weeks later, the motor started to shake upon starting it and "low oil pressure" was coming on. The 5.4 is very hard to start too. It takes 5-7 cranks to get it to warm up. The power steering pump is bad (noisy) and so is the alternator (bad bearing). A local WY shop wanted $1150 to replace the PS pump and the alternator. I found good motorcraft parts on ROCKAUTO for about $105 + $150 & shipping. And I felt that the first shop was way off on labor. I had a different mechanic (shop no. 2) tell me that the cam phasers were bad. Your video indicated the faulty oil pump problem too. Your tear down of the motor seems like it was easy to get at (despite the winter temperatures outside)...relatively. I can't believe that the mice built a nest inside the motor intake manifold. I will buy the new oil pump, the new alternator, the new PS pump and a few AC hoses and will install a fresh AC condenser since the old one is bent up and seems to be crusty old. I was quoted by the 2nd shop mechanic $2,600 to install the 4 components that I mentioned and to fix the cam phasers. I am also considering buying a "PowertrainProducts.net" new core motor, since I want the wife to be happy and to know that she has an entirely new motor in her truck. You got to take care of your woman. SO... I have to decide either to tear down the motor, like you did, or just replace the core motor- rebuilt- with a 5 year warranty and then install the new components and the AC stuff, the PS Pump and the Alternator on top of it. It is the more esspensive option, but I want my wife to know that I did not fix up an old motor with 220 k and pass it on to her. GOOD VIDEO. THANKS. TOM

Thanks for making the videos, I'm getting ready to start the same project with my 08 f150 160k, do most of my own work also. This will be my highest skilled job though so far

Looks like you did a great job doing all the repairs. Just a question the truck has some rust. Will you be rust proofing the truck. I wish I had your skills on mechanical issues.

First time watching your video..I've owned 2 F150s and never had a problem. I have to admit though, I wish I had the know how on tearing down and rebuilding my own engine the way you did. I would save a bundle on Mechanic fees.

You're a tough guy,smart too. If I went through all that work I would not use that cheap ass oil. Put in some Valvoline5W20 syn blend or Motorcraft 5W20 syn blend, you've come all that way so don't cheap out now . Keep up the good work bud.

Good Job 👍! The key 🔑 to the 5.4 3v trucks is maintenance! I’ve seen them go 400K ! I’ve had two of them ! I never had any issues !

Thankful for you taking the time to share your wisdom. I have the same 5.4, wondering how many hours you spent and what you paid in engine parts? What would you charge someone to do this job again? Mike Speck

Good job bro‼️

My 2005 is at 292K orig motor, never been cracked open, plugs once, purrs like a cat.

Good job bro. Enjoy ur truck.

Good job homie.. Great steal for $1200.00..

im thankful my truck only needed a jumpstart to start up again after replacing lights in my dash. i guess i was working on it longer than i had realized. 243k never underestimate a determined 4-banger.

Just did went through mine top to bottom. It runs well and shifts alot better after i power programmed it with the Edge 15051. Just in case you didnt know the oil presure guage is a dummy gauge, it works off a switch in the oil filter housing and is either at half or not, it does not actually show live oil pressure. Cheers

I've got a 06 f150 at 230,000 miles she starting give me some problems but imma get it fixed it's honestly a great work truck if maintained

Thankful for having mechanical knowledge and getting those SMOKING deals that people don't have clue on I buy used fix it and enjoy it for years my 5.4 ford now has 364,000 miles originally bought it for 3,000 with 117,000.. keep it real

im never one to complain!!!

look up fordtech makaluso. 4 part series on these trucks. step by step

Once you fix the tensioners and put in the Melling HV oil pump that engine is great. If you want to do go all the way with bullet proofing you can replace the roller followers and get locked out phasers. Also use the cast iron older style tensioners. Locked phasers require a tuner and 5 star is a really good one.

You did good.

Another super cheap upgrade is taking out the valves and cleaning up stems and chambers. Then use valve lapping compound to clean up the seat contact. Not exactly a valve job but you will definitely have perfect seal, they really don't wear much on newer engines.

So you ended up replacing the injectors again to get rid of the misfire?

Why did you change the injectors anyway? I change injectors like I change coils. When one go bad. I only change that one.

Hell yeah! I wouldn't hesitate to do the same. Got my '97 for 500$ and after a 40$ bottle of stop leak its been a trooper, If you know how to correct the Ford flub-ups from the factory they will run for an eternity.

Looks like the only thing that was wrong with it was a missfire as far as running smooth. The bulletproof need to be done anyway glad it all worked out for ya. I've done more of the 3valves than I can count on my hand and they are still running without any issue.

hella good deal on those taillights

I got an 05 FX4 with 238000 miles. Bought it 2 years ago. Heard all the horror stories and it had a tuner on it to. Took it straight to a guy that specializes t these. He tried to tell me it's an exaust leak an the left cat is where the noise is coming from. Had him put all the s"*r you see on Utube replaced. The passenger side exaust manifold is leaking and the guts from the cat on that side are in the muffler!! Runs great, replaced cats with hi flow after market units. Spent all that money in the engine for nothing. When a professional tell u that ain't it, listen to him. When assholes tell you these things are junk, tell to shut the hell up. There are FLEETs of these things running around with 300000+ miles in them!! CHANGE the OIL, use the CORRECT OIL. That's the important thing. Still got to fix the exhaust leak that was original problem.

How many miles did you have on it when you bought it curious before you have to do all that depending on the person before you
