Ontario BS Thread

Fed Ex man dropped off some work to do today. Now, while I am at it is it worth doing power steering and coolant too?

The brake fluid is 4 years old but 95% full, probably still good?

 

Technically brake fluid should be flushed every 2-3 years or 60K kms, power steering is 50:50, may start leaking after filling with atf… coolant is done usually every 100K kms

 

I did all fluids minus coolant at 100k kms. Power steering, just suck out what's in the resi then fill. Coolant is suggested in Manuel at 130, or is it 160, can't recall but after first coolant flush is recommended at every 60 like Evgeny says. So I held off...at 170K now so it's definitely due

Do your front diff and rear, my TC came out lickspittle clean at 100K

Did a brake fluid refresh same way as PS...I has a clutch so it moves the fluid around much more so didn't bother with a full bleed thru.

Have fun

 

Went back in time to 2019 for my work to do pic...

 

Front diff was done recently with ecgs, rear and tc not too long ago.

The ps I've usually done (on other cars) the disconnect the return, purge and refill. The brakes I was gonna do each corner. Need to build or buy something for one man bleed.

 

In the house I grew up in the build your own 4 corner 1 man bleed was building 4 boys...

Careful for what you wish for

 

Fill bottle of coke with old fluid, stick hose off the bleeder in there. One man bleed

 

Did Peter teach you that one?

 

With all this “recommended service interval” talk i almost thought i was on the ford forums

 

time to change your valve hold'em uppers

 

Ugh, I just rolled 100k km

 

whatta ya doing the long weekend?

 

Bigger question; what are you doing the long weekend?

 

This is currently camp. Its cozy...

And this is the view outside


You're right. Thats a really big IF

 

Coolant is stupid easy. Get a 24" extention to make your life easy though

 

damn look at that luxury living you got! I would not be looking to return to Onterrible...

 

Quick, need friday gram shot, somebody post their truck picture here
