joshbuys Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Hadn't even heard about it! I WANT IN!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 It would be nice to get an early peek at the details of this engine but it would only satisfy my curiosity. I would think this is not an official course. I was in the second week of 6.4L training here the NY zone and there were a few problems. I expect the 6.7L will bring a lot more material to cover than the successive training previous engines had and I would prefer the glitches and errors be worked out. Don't get me wrong, I want the training but do I really want to be first? Okay, who am I bullshitting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpatron Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 We were so tempted to pull that 6R140 off to see how the PTO is connected, and to see the CKP trigger wheel magnets, but as you may have noticed, the trans was propping up the rear of the engine. The engine stand has that "oil level sensor" sensor on the pan, but the F-350 we used in class did not. I will have to look at some other trucks. Hope you enjoyed the class, even with all the ongoing corrections Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
