Another Ford BROKEN in HALF?!? DIY Expedition Structural Frame and Brake Repairs!

Another Ford BROKEN in HALF?!? DIY Expedition Structural Frame and Brake Repairs!

We recently blew a rusted brake line on the rear of my 1997 Ford Expedition which required removing the fuel tank. Conveniently the frame rails were rusted out right next to the fuel tank so we took the opportunity to make some structural repairs at the same time! This one is currently not for sale. As always, thanks for watching!

When I have a stuck caliper bleeder I’ll smack the caliper casting part where the bleeder is threaded in….just enough to dent the casting and it’ll usually break the bleeder loose….if not…then the blue wrench comes out.

It’s definitely time for me to get another one. Had an 02 that nickel and dimed me to death, and she liked her gas. It was a tank tough.

I have a 1997 Ford F250 LD. Still a decent truck.

Hi Mortske. As a Canadian, and seeing what your president is doing to us, your friend and neighbour, I decided to abandon my american YouTube channels. It breaks my heart. Keep up the great work. Marc

Fix the frame rail.

@DeadReckon says:

Man this thing wouldn't pass inspection in VA, they're strict about frame and floor rust here. Doors can be vented, rockers, cab corners, fenders, but not the frame / floors / structure. Funny thing is that I don't have much of a problem with this thing being on the road up there, 'cause y'all take care of your cars. But down here a truck like this would scare me 'cause there's too many people using drive through oil change places around here if you know what I mean. They don't even open their own hood, the hood is a forbidden zone of the car or something.

I m happy to see that it didn't break in half.

@stephenlineman says:

the triton is three valve known to blow spark plugs out there are 8 or 10 threads in the head

Nothing like a dependable old rust bucket. Especially one that’s got a whole bunch of windows for Duff to look out! And rooooooom to get comfortable in! Hey, thanks for the ride! Nice welding job too!

Same price for eggs in Wisconsin. I do have family raising chicklits so free with s a little family friendly labor trade, optional of course, but I can't let a good deed go undone.

@mutstang66 says:

The new f350 at work dings non stop if your seat belt isn't on once you start driving. Real annoying. And my transit 250 only gets 14 mph. And it's no where near it's weight limit.

Turbo socket!!
