The BATTERY FAILED on my Ford F150 Lightning EV pickup the day after I SOLD IT! Buyer NOT happy...
A Day in the Life: Oil Change and Key Replacement
It was a beautiful day to work on cars, with plenty of sunlight streaming through the garage windows as we tackled two jobs that needed attention. First up was an oil change for a Q7, a Volkswagen SUV with a reputation for being a bit finicky when it comes to maintenance. The owner had brought it in with low mileage and clean bills, but there was still some concern about the suspension and leaks.
As we began the oil change process, I noticed that the owner had cleverly placed cardboard to catch any spills - a smart move given the potential for messes with this particular car's design. However, my engineer hat kicked in as I spotted an engineering snafu - a small gap where the oil filter housing should be sealed, just waiting to leak all over the belly pan if not addressed properly. Luckily, it was a simple fix, and we were able to clean up quickly without making a mess.
With the oil change complete, we moved on to replace the dead battery in another vehicle - a Bentley that had left its owner stranded due to a lack of warning lights when the power ran out. The battery itself was easy to remove, but the process of reactivating the car's systems proved more challenging. After some tinkering with the Alltel scan tool and manual overrides, we were able to get the vehicle running again.
As we worked on the Bentley, I couldn't help but notice the unique features of its design - including a massive intercooler system that added weight to an already substantial engine. The owner had mentioned earlier that they were concerned about oil leaks in this area, and now it seemed clear why: the drain plug for the oil filter housing was cleverly hidden behind a protective cover, making it easy to overlook when performing routine maintenance.
Once we'd finished up with both vehicles, I took a moment to reflect on the tasks at hand. The oil change had been a breeze, thanks to our careful planning and attention to detail. Meanwhile, the Bentley's battery replacement had required some extra effort, but ultimately paid off when the vehicle roared back to life under our skilled hands.
As we wrapped up the day's work, I turned my mind to pricing - an important consideration for any service shop or mechanic. Based on the hours spent and materials used, I estimated a total bill of around $250 for both oil changes and key replacements. The owner seemed pleased with this estimate, which was great news indeed.
Despite the technical challenges we faced, it had been a satisfying day's work - proof that, even in the most finicky cars, there's often more to discover beneath the surface than initially meets the eye. And as I shut down the workshop and headed home, I felt grateful for another day spent with my tools and machines, bringing smiles back to car owners' faces one oil change at a time.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwelcome to hoofy's garage the dumbest Automotive channel in all of YouTube and no this isn't my Ford Lightning EV that is indeed sold it is my wife's 2017 mentally bentega but I have a very interesting update on the Ford Lightning pickup truck the day after I sold the dealers that I sold it to that I eventually bought my Corvette Z06 from sold it to a local Ford dealership one of the people who works at the Ford dealership drove it home and they were greeted with a horrible message that evening which actually robbed the other half of the ownership on the lightning got as a text saying there was a major problem with the battery system Rob called me up immediately when he got this alert on his phone saying the car had failed and he was very worried since we hadn't been paid yet that we weren't going to get paid because the truck broke and well it's in warranty I wasn't that worried about it and it was already sold but I thought perhaps maybe the Ford dealership bought the truck to maybe fix another one because I know the car has two batteries of course there's the big giant battery pack that propels the car but also normal sort of 12 voltage battery like what every car has but it's special in that Ford and if they fail it's a big weight but if the big giant battery fails it is a major way because obviously Ford is struggling to keep up with the production there's so much demand for them that there's not a lot of spare parts and since this is a very early technology and a very early built vehicle uh well there are a few of these breaking from what I can see and it is a very long wait so the dealer that bought the car texted the dealer that sold it to him and was complaining about it saying well I have no idea what we're going to be able to have this thing fixed it's under warranty but we don't know when we're going to get a battery basically all it'll do is go one mile an hour around the parking lot and it won't do anything else so the battery has completely failed which may explain why I was seeing such terrible terrible economy if you will electric economy when it came to Towing when it came to driving in the cold maybe it had a bad cell or two and it was on its way out and that's why the performance was so bad but uh it seems like a lot of lightning owners are experiencing similar things when they drive the car normally in the cold not when they're trying to hyper mileage and that's why I've said throughout all this that electric cars they're great they're fun they're amazing but they're really when it comes to trucks not ready for prime time in normal environments at normal highway speeds the towing range is severely diminished and you have to put up with a lot of BS to own one of them but I'm not anti-ev I mean I take a lot of BS just to own all of these hoopties which is what we're going to experience today first we're going to head up to the car Wizards and you're going to see all the Perils of internal combustion all the problems I have to deal with with modern and vintage internal combustion cars which as they get newer they're getting more and more complicated more and more Troublesome harder to keep on the road and electric cars in theory are much simpler you have a battery you have a power inverter converter whatever and then the drive Motors whether you have one two three or four it is very very simple compared to Modern internal combustion cars with turbos and cylinder deactivation from maximum of fuel economy all the crazy stuff to meet emissions especially with diesels which are so so impractical I thought one way to show this would be to have my million mile Ram not start in this horrible weather we're having it's actually negative 40 degrees out with the wind chill but then take a look at this the darn thing started but usually the Diesels struggle to start I have a friend whose Modern Diesel struggle to start all this so that Dodge is just a freak but up at the car Wizards you'll see all the troubles I go through to maintain these modern vehicles and then well my wife's Bentley here it's due for an oil change which on an electric vehicle you don't have to do oil changes but on this car it's like seven eight hundred dollars from the Bentley dealer supposedly a little bit involved which is why it is so expensive on this W12 twin turbo engine so we're gonna do that as well but first let's head up to the car Wizards well wizard we just just wrapped up the c806 video we saw it was uh really cool but definitely really tight in some places as far as serviceability and uh the electric battery on my Ford Lightning has failed that's what the start of this video has been about really yeah I sold it the next day the battery shot just dead what are they gonna do about this well it's warranty but they don't know when they're going to get a replacement so oh my goodness yeah it explains maybe some of my bad performance I don't know well I mean you were the perfect guy to test it you are the best towing Channel on YouTube I mean absolutely I'm not but I swear I'm not anti-ev I like electric vehicles I understand these cars are getting really complicated I live it every single day issues with internal combustion cars and what a nightmare they are you do too I mean and you choose to like this Cadillac Northstar you just drop the engine out of to do head studs and if it leaks you'd have to drop it out again basically the subframe to fix those leaks yep and then you've got a transmission and then you've got a rear end which with this one the rear end is noisy on this car that needs to be replaced with an electric car you have a battery and you have a drive motor there's there's not a transmission to go bad the rear differential but we really haven't done anything on this car yet right no nothing's been done to that okay the Jaguar though the engine's back in it is running it's running it's leak free my rear main seal trick worked I got the pre-shaped rear main seal the ropes it's actually the original rope seal but it's pre-shaped made once again no rear main seal on EVS but yes very old rope seal which is holding steady yeah it's not dripping under there but we're waiting on parts from England huh can't blower motor wheel and a blower motor it's actually the parts are here in America but they're in customs and there's there's nothing we can do about that huh well that's a bummer we're waiting on that I definitely need a heater if I'm going to drive it at all this winter yep yep but beautiful inline six and then the Bronco OJ spec to O.J Speck again it is done yeah it's done well let's see oh yeah no more horrible squeak yep so that was the uh weird subframe bushingser it was the radius rod bushings here you see they're they're black yeah they were they had red polyurethane ones and they were noisy and squeaky we just put them back very squeaky and then it was very wandering on the highway so hopefully we have sway bars again huh yep use one off of fleabane oh very nice bolted up nicely now that the swaying is gone and then what about my pinging and misfiring so somebody before you put a new distributor in they didn't even tighten tighten it down it was just floppy loose okay the timing this way off we got it timed we're supposed to be and tighten it down it's happy that's that's Euro Asian Bob's Jagger are you fixing it uh no that's not your Asian Bob's Jack anymore you bought it I bought it you sold your yacht yes and you bought a jaguar this is the opposite of years ago where you sold a green jaguar and traded it for a boat a Mark Twain boat uh yeah but that was a terrible Jaguar this one's really nice and an xj-12 extremely rare it's like 80 000 miles on it right yeah 83 wow aren't you fancy now I love this car the European styling it's so nice British racing green yeah the 49 Cadillac's also on the ground so is that fixed it is six and do I have heat you have heat you've got your oil leaks fixed there was two oil leaks and a coolant leak you had a fuel pump issue that we solved we did quite a lot of little things to it but it's all happy again oh and your fuel gauge works again yeah I wouldn't mind EV swapping a car like this but the Cadillac 500 under there is so smooth and nice this thing is built so well and having a heater well now I can drive it during the winter but it's not all good news right not always it's not all Sunshine rainbows and beautiful Jaguar v12s unfortunately we had some issues with the GT350 right it runs and drives fine the clutch is beautiful it's so much better but I think you're not going to like the vibration it's like a massage parlor so before this thing had a racing clutch in it it was an on off switch and super hard I mean almost impossible to drive unless you're going flat out on a race track and well I'm not that good of a racing driver so even if I was out on the track I would struggle with it but you found a clutch from what a flathead you said well the clutch disc is actually a 50 Flathead and then the throwout bearing everything else is made for basically a 66 Mustang and also the pressure plate and the flywheel and everything okay so what's the issue so far so good that's a much easier clutch yeah so what's this vibration I will you got a rev it oh taking so that's like the rotation of the engine that's not balanced right right why is that so this engine is very likely internally blueprinted and balanced and everything and the original flywheel that you came in here with just basically sheet metal a flex disc there was no balancing going on because the engine itself is balanced but now we've got a flywheel on it that's supposed to be for a non-balanced engine the flywheel itself is bound like a normal 66 289 okay so I think we can send that to a machine shop and they can balance it and make it where it's perfectly neutrally balanced and if that doesn't work but still not happy we can put the old stuff back on it may just have to deal with what it may just want to be your total full crazy race car yeah I sucks it was worth a try it was worth a try maybe we'll get lucky with the flywheel but uh yeah this car may just want to stay race car and I guess that's fine so Magic Mike will put those underbody panels on and then I'll uh get out of your hair or your beard not yet it's the holidays and you owe me over five grand you're not going anywhere in fact that's not coming off the lift until that's paid you're putting a lien on it yeah I'm putting mechanics lean on your ZO6 all right we'll go pay all right well let's start biggest to smallest but they're all about the same yeah they are roughly within a hundred dollars or less of each other so this one's the 49 Cadillac yeah my printer's acting up this is mine and I bet it's yeah leaks getting my heater working transmission leaks oil pan gasket it was leaking a lot after I started driving it again it's been sitting for a while that's pretty normal mechanical fuel pump was leaking so it's leaking fuel as well it's leaking everything yes yep and then the fuel tank working the sender so I set 1849 dollars yeah okay and next the Bronco the Bronco another 1800 to do suspension work and uh oil pan had to come down do the gasket on that one ouch and then the Mustang which which needs more work now to be continued to be continued yes unfortunately we also what's the grand total five six oh one six five you know if I just stuck to one electric car they'd be faster than any of the cars in there if it blew up every 10 years the battery and I just threw it away I'd probably save more money possibly but it was boring doesn't it kind of does yeah when somebody comes up with the ls swap of EV kits you bet I'll be doing a few because it's so much simpler than putting up with a lot of that garbage but uh this thing well it needs an oil change it's actually five days past its oil change and my wife she drives us every day she's been reminding me every single day to get the oil change because she loves this thing so much she thinks the car is going to explode if we go too much past this so we're going to do it right now and we are going to visit Johnny at the car ninja who we haven't seen in a while because remarkably my BMWs haven't broke so let's go Carnage about that car trek Ferrari from me the very first car trek still running great we're gonna put it on the alignment machine just so we don't have to mess with the suspension ninja hey it's been a long time long time how are you just fine how's the Ferrari going great it's worth about double than what I sold it to you for but uh anyway I'm glad you still have it yes so uh yeah Bentley oil changes apparently they want seven to eight hundred bucks to do these it's a Volkswagen yeah it's a Volkswagen I don't see why the filter was a little bit of a thing right there's that beautiful W12 over 600 horsepower and a big old SUV perfect for my wife exactly what she needed yep so is it is it a dry sump because it takes a lot of oil no it's not um no it just goes straight to the engine takes about 11 quarts 11 quarts for six liters I mean it is a W12 but it's not that big engine They're copying from BMW because BMW uses a lot of oil so I mean a deep sump okay it's huge about yay big the oil change intervals on these are every 10 000 miles or one year we've hit it on time and not miles on this one so far at least according to the computer you like those snow tires yeah I need to get tires for it soon I figured since they're winter tires we can drive them through the winter and then get new tires right yeah yep it only has 34 000 miles on it wow yeah nice oh yeah definitely these tires yeah they're going on five years old yep after winter they'll do their job so we're gonna take this one out and we're gonna expose the stump right here all right so the reason we're doing it here so we don't have to mess with the uh right yeah turn off the suspension and all that stuff well I'm I'm already getting sticker shock over this filter here 174.96 yep what what is yeah what is so special about this thing it's foreign well granted though the the shipping cost I suppose but retail they're 155 dollars doesn't look like anything special to me the Bentley tax lots of screws does it feel like a Bentley under here Volkswagen actually of course it does yeah that's a little bit of a screw Overkill isn't it yeah that's the thing add that to the pot okay and down we go see me yeah all right I guess they kind of split it like all right at least it's dry well we still have to pull the plate it's not your slump yet holy crap yeah yeah I'm starting to see why this is a little more expensive there we go it's dry okay I can see why they wanted to protect all of this so what do we have here well they're Mounds um the mighty filter yeah and the sun right here is this just for the oil level here this yes yes all right so basically everything is Volkswagen yeah Volkswagen yeah they don't even bother putting a Bentley logo on it it's just Volkswagen Audi okay well there's a lot of wires running here is this electric power steering probably yeah usually yes it is all right actually no this is your uh active sway bar oh yes still can't see turbos at all it's also packed tight in here foreign cannot see them they're here they are Buried buried yes well it doesn't look like there's everything looks great good well it's low mileage yeah but it's clean no rust yeah suspension is great no leaks so where does it drain right here right there I know this is the filter yes so it's not hard it's not hard at all it's a it's a q Q7 pretty much underneath don't tell my wife that those intercoolers they're massive and you got two of them there's a big one yes and one on this side I guess they feed in through there yep wow I like it yeah it sure does look like a lot of these oil leaks would be an inch and out you've got a scenario though but for now it's dry ninja has noticed a little engineering snafu here so you might make a mess so they put this just kissing where the oil drains out like they want to make a mess yeah it's a lot of things to put like a cardboard or something to divert a little bit or they could just make that disappear when they built the car yeah that's too hard German engineering man got to love it okay I was going to make a mess yeah yeah and then be stuck and then it'd be stuck in there and dripping onto the belly pan yep we'll take more time to to clean it than doing this so I shouldn't Jiffy Lube this thing uh uh I would hate you forever will it look too bad a little dark it doesn't look bad at all actually yeah go ahead unfortunately we're gonna have to wait till this one um stop dripping because they're so sensitive it's just going to read over field I see and it's an electronic dipstick so you can't really eyeball it anymore that's a bummer yeah so it's just a just a trickle but there is something you can help me with while we wait on the trickle actually what's up uh one of the keys died left my wife stranded oh yeah yeah let's go take care of them the thing about them is they don't give a warning that the battery's low it's a common Bentley thing where it will leave people stranded because it doesn't say hey Pablo change it it just dies I see so once it's dead it's dead why do you need that for the battery well I'm just removing it okay I should say I don't think that's how you get the battery out looks pretty volkswageny huh yes oh yeah there it is easy peasy it's like a wrist watch repair dude except it's a battery oh we were delaying you yes from Commerce he needed the Alltel scan tool the other key is inside oh the shank yeah interesting good luck pulling this one out oh there it is there it is oh I'll just pops huh kind of sort of have to have nails perfect neat let's see if that works it's alive again blinking now let me test the remote start I'm kidding it doesn't have it it doesn't have it so that was the drain plug for the oil filter housing filter yes okay so you don't make a mess when you take it out but then it's like a special grab the undo it huh well we can use a three jaw foreign okey-doke doesn't look too nasty huh nope not at all looks really good actually okay nice and clean you're not gonna put it back up get all the stuff now we're going to put the oil started up make sure nothing's leaking and um we'll go from there okay you didn't get your Wheaties today it's just it had this much oil before I start doing yours and now it's right here so oh you had all 11 cores in there all right thirsty yeah just like my wife so this one got Castrol if I follow the uh yeah all right it's Chris Coyle Crisco yeah the cheap recycled stuff yes well you're gonna have to make multiple trips I assume huh I have two I love this it doesn't make a mess all right haul dry here and then we have to fight the computer a little bit to reset the light yeah correcting your tire pressure oh yes since we're on the handy alignment machine yeah hook it up so cool and do we need a fancy Bentley computer to reset the oil change nope it's a Volkswagen remember okay yeah there we go ten thousand three sixty five so that is a little more involved of an oil change than say a normal Audi Volkswagen yeah a bit yeah um too many screws you saw that right pile of screws but 11 quarts of oil yes an expensive filter so how much do you think you would charge for all that ballpark I know you haven't figured it up yet I haven't but um not 800 no no no no no I had probably it's gonna be like 250 or something so there you go yeah well thank you very much you're welcome the wife will be very happy that's all that matterswelcome to hoofy's garage the dumbest Automotive channel in all of YouTube and no this isn't my Ford Lightning EV that is indeed sold it is my wife's 2017 mentally bentega but I have a very interesting update on the Ford Lightning pickup truck the day after I sold the dealers that I sold it to that I eventually bought my Corvette Z06 from sold it to a

and my wife she drives us every day she's been reminding me every single day to get the oil change because she loves this thing so much she thinks the car is going to explode if we go too much past this so we're going to do it right now and we are going to visit Johnny at the car ninja who we haven't seen in a while because remarkably my BMWs haven't broke so let's go Carnage about that car trek Ferrari from me the very first car trek still running great we're gonna put it on the alignment machine just so we don't have to mess with the suspension ninja hey it's been a long time long time how are you just fine how's the Ferrari going great it's worth about double than what I sold it to you for but uh anyway I'm glad you still have it yes so uh yeah Bentley oil changes apparently they want seven to eight hundred bucks to do these it's a Volkswagen yeah it's a Volkswagen I don't see why the filter was a little bit of a thing right there's that beautiful W12 over 600 horsepower and a big old SUV perfect for my wife exactly what she needed yep so is it is it a dry sump because it takes a lot of oil no it's not um no it just goes straight to the engine takes about 11 quarts 11 quarts for six liters I mean it is a W12 but it's not that big engine They're copying from BMW because BMW uses a lot of oil so I mean a deep sump okay it's huge about yay big the oil change intervals on these are every 10 000 miles or one year we've hit it on time and not miles on this one so far at least according to the computer you like those snow tires yeah I need to get tires for it soon I figured since they're winter tires we can drive them through the winter and then get new tires right yeah yep it only has 34 000 miles on it wow yeah nice oh yeah definitely these tires yeah they're going on five years old yep after winter they'll do their job so we're gonna take this one out and we're gonna expose the stump right here all right so the reason we're doing it here so we don't have to mess with the uh right yeah turn off the suspension and all that stuff well I'm I'm already getting sticker shock over this filter here 174.96 yep what what is yeah what is so special about this thing it's foreign well granted though the the shipping cost I suppose but retail they're 155 dollars doesn't look like anything special to me the Bentley tax lots of screws does it feel like a Bentley under here Volkswagen actually of course it does yeah that's a little bit of a screw Overkill isn't it yeah that's the thing add that to the pot okay and down we go see me yeah all right I guess they kind of split it like all right at least it's dry well we still have to pull the plate it's not your slump yet holy crap yeah yeah I'm starting to see why this is a little more expensive there we go it's dry okay I can see why they wanted to protect all of this so what do we have here well they're Mounds um the mighty filter yeah and the sun right here is this just for the oil level here this yes yes all right so basically everything is Volkswagen yeah Volkswagen yeah they don't even bother putting a Bentley logo on it it's just Volkswagen Audi okay well there's a lot of wires running here is this electric power steering probably yeah usually yes it is all right actually no this is your uh active sway bar oh yes still can't see turbos at all it's also packed tight in here foreign cannot see them they're here they are Buried buried yes well it doesn't look like there's everything looks great good well it's low mileage yeah but it's clean no rust yeah suspension is great no leaks so where does it drain right here right there I know this is the filter yes so it's not hard it's not hard at all it's a it's a q Q7 pretty much underneath don't tell my wife that those intercoolers they're massive and you got two of them there's a big one yes and one on this side I guess they feed in through there yep wow I like it yeah it sure does look like a lot of these oil leaks would be an inch and out you've got a scenario though but for now it's dry ninja has noticed a little engineering snafu here so you might make a mess so they put this just kissing where the oil drains out like they want to make a mess yeah it's a lot of things to put like a cardboard or something to divert a little bit or they could just make that disappear when they built the car yeah that's too hard German engineering man got to love it okay I was going to make a mess yeah yeah and then be stuck and then it'd be stuck in there and dripping onto the belly pan yep we'll take more time to to clean it than doing this so I shouldn't Jiffy Lube this thing uh uh I would hate you forever will it look too bad a little dark it doesn't look bad at all actually yeah go ahead unfortunately we're gonna have to wait till this one um stop dripping because they're so sensitive it's just going to read over field I see and it's an electronic dipstick so you can't really eyeball it anymore that's a bummer yeah so it's just a just a trickle but there is something you can help me with while we wait on the trickle actually what's up uh one of the keys died left my wife stranded oh yeah yeah let's go take care of them the thing about them is they don't give a warning that the battery's low it's a common Bentley thing where it will leave people stranded because it doesn't say hey Pablo change it it just dies I see so once it's dead it's dead why do you need that for the battery well I'm just removing it okay I should say I don't think that's how you get the battery out looks pretty volkswageny huh yes oh yeah there it is easy peasy it's like a wrist watch repair dude except it's a battery oh we were delaying you yes from Commerce he needed the Alltel scan tool the other key is inside oh the shank yeah interesting good luck pulling this one out oh there it is there it is oh I'll just pops huh kind of sort of have to have nails perfect neat let's see if that works it's alive again blinking now let me test the remote start I'm kidding it doesn't have it it doesn't have it so that was the drain plug for the oil filter housing filter yes okay so you don't make a mess when you take it out but then it's like a special grab the undo it huh well we can use a three jaw foreign okey-doke doesn't look too nasty huh nope not at all looks really good actually okay nice and clean you're not gonna put it back up get all the stuff now we're going to put the oil started up make sure nothing's leaking and um we'll go from there okay you didn't get your Wheaties today it's just it had this much oil before I start doing yours and now it's right here so oh you had all 11 cores in there all right thirsty yeah just like my wife so this one got Castrol if I follow the uh yeah all right it's Chris Coyle Crisco yeah the cheap recycled stuff yes well you're gonna have to make multiple trips I assume huh I have two I love this it doesn't make a mess all right haul dry here and then we have to fight the computer a little bit to reset the light yeah correcting your tire pressure oh yes since we're on the handy alignment machine yeah hook it up so cool and do we need a fancy Bentley computer to reset the oil change nope it's a Volkswagen remember okay yeah there we go ten thousand three sixty five so that is a little more involved of an oil change than say a normal Audi Volkswagen yeah a bit yeah um too many screws you saw that right pile of screws but 11 quarts of oil yes an expensive filter so how much do you think you would charge for all that ballpark I know you haven't figured it up yet I haven't but um not 800 no no no no no I had probably it's gonna be like 250 or something so there you go yeah well thank you very much you're welcome the wife will be very happy that's all that matters\n"
