2004 Ford F-150: Fuel Pump Driver Module Replacement

Matt shows us a great up-close example of a Fuel Pump Driver Module replacement on this 2004 Ford F150. Our customer was experiencing their vehicle not starting, it would crank but the engine wouldn’t turn over. The first thing we did was have the truck towed to our location here in Birdsboro and did a code scan on it. There was a stored code for the “fuel pump secondary circuit" when we tested for fuel pressure, we found we had ZERO fuel pressure up to the engine! Our next step was getting this truck up on the lift so we could take a look to see what we were working with. Once we had the truck on the lift, we…

2013 BMW X3 Timing Chain & Turbocharger Replacement

Dave goes over this 2013 BMW x3 N20 with us! This vehicle not only had timing chain failure but the turbocharger needed to be replaced as well. In this situation, the vehicle had actually shut off on the customer while driving down the highway. Now the customer had shut the vehicle off but wasn’t able to get it restarted. While attempting to turn over the engine, there was an off noise. The vehicle didn’t have compression on any of the four cylinders, which was the culprit to the noise that was heard. If this situation sounds similar, give our video a watch as Dave walks us through the remedy for this vehicle.

Diagnostics

Why is Diagnostic so important? A lot of the time when we get vehicles in with a check engine light on, one of the first things we like to do is diagnostic testing. Having a proper diagnostic test performed on your vehicle will help us make sure we are actually fixing the reason your vehicle was brought to our shop. Testing is very important in seeing what component is actually failing. “Well I went to the parts store and they read my CEL code and they recommended this…”. Alright, that’s a great start but the problem we run into with this, is that part stores sell you parts, in hope that whatever they recommend fixes the issue. Secondly, I’m guessing…

Where Are All The Car Parts In 2021?

Where Are All The Car Parts In 2021? We just want to take a minute to say THANK YOU! We appreciate your patience as we navigate these strange times! What’s up? you ask? They’re calling it “The Biggest Supply Chain Disruption Since World War II.” For the most part, our automotive parts suppliers are doing a great job of getting us the parts we need in light of what they’re up against. It’s coming at them (and us) from all angles…. But now more than ever, you may hear that there are delays in getting the parts needed to repair your vehicle or that the prices of automotive parts aren’t in line with what they were just a few short months ago.…
