I love your videos but I would pay to see a couple on here of the Mrs. showing us how on earth she gets these trucks so perfectly clean! You could space them out so its one about the engine area, one for seats and floors and another about the dash and headliner! I dont think I've ever seen someone get a truck that clean before.

2 thumbs up on this one JC. Once again you have made chicken salad out of chicken poop, explained your reasoning and diagnosis in a professional manner. Mrs JC adds the detail finish and massages the work truck into a really nice ride for someone. Have a good day folks, I'm still watchin here and enjoying every minute of the show !!

I have a 2009 f-250 crew cab and long bed that’s the work model and it cranks a bit before starting, runs rough when hot, doesn’t take gas (shuts off gas pump when refueling) and I few days ago it would not start at all, when you turn key just clicks. Towed it to mechanic and hoping he can fix it.

I know this is a few week old vid. I missed today's livestream, what you're describing sounds exactly like the high pressure fluid is bypassing somewhere, either pump or rack. I've encountered that quite a few times over years in vehicles with both conventional steering gear or steering rack. The shaft joints can cause issues but normally its a consistent problem. I hope you give us an update to what you found. I like odd problems cause I like learning.

Uh -oh... that sticker might as well say" you are guaranteed to have you hands in our engines" Something definite short cuts in there.I am sure a lot of rebuilders only replace whats necessary and as cheap as possible, all about maximizing profit As for the fuel filter, guess someone didnt pick up on the arrow clue when they put it in....weird You need to have Mrs JC star in her very own detailing video, I am sure a lot of people would be interested to see Mrs JC work her magic and pick up a few of her tip and tricks, she sure does a heck of a job, like it came off the lot

i am not one to use the "miracle additives" i would take it apart and fix the problem. once i was sure the engine had good oil pressure at operating temperature, i would replace all the lifters and rockers while i was in there. i have heard people adding transmission fluid to their oil to try and cure this problem. i have never done it.

Hey dude I have a couple questions for you. You have pulled a bunch of cabs off these newer ford superduty trucks. I have 2 of these trucks with different damages. I'm trying to build one truck out of them. Truck 1 is 2011 F350 crew cab 6.7 Truck 2 is 2012 F550 crew cab 6.7 Now the 550 has a crashed cab so my main question is that will I be able to move cab from 350 to 550 I know I will have to add things like fender flairs and such but will the main cab bolt up?

I have the 5.4 3 valve in my 2008 F250. I had just replaced spark plugs, one was bad and broken, the rest definitely worn as they had been in at least 60k miles when my dad had it. After that I ended up getting Bank 1 and 2 lean codes and the truck would occasionally die. I ended up driving fine with low RPMs, but if they got high it would not stay running. Today it died and wouldn't really start back up. Eventually it did start back up and would only idle. As soon as you attempt to press the gas or put it in gear, it immediately cuts off now. Any thoughts from your experience? The SJB was replaced around a year and a half ago, the guy who helped me on the side of the road said there were some strange codes coming up, like TPMS which I don't even have in the truck. He was wondering if maybe the SJB was messed up again. I dunno, I'm at a loss.
