Keith Browning Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 A while back I had a 7.3 PSD with a stuck back pressure valve - lack of power. Anyway, apparently the valve itself is not serviceable on it's own? I do remember replacing one years ago but now my parts counter men tell me they can't find a listing and it is not replaceable. Does anyone know differently? If this is the case I think that's in poor judgment on Ford's part. By the way, we freed the valve up after removing the turbo and installing a new one and wouldn't you know it, Ford bounced the claim as well as the appeal!

Torqued_Up Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 I ran into the same thing last week. I agree that this is kinda stupid. I mean where to the reman builders get them when they need them? Some customers dont have the scratch to replace a $1600 turbo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Browning Posted March 24, 2006 Author Share Posted March 24, 2006 Larry, I remember back in the day, perhaps 10 years ago when the 7.3L was still rolling off the assembly line, I had one of these go bad. I couldn't even free it up clamped in a bench vise with a prybar. I vividly remember replacing just the valve. Not seeing many of these go bad, the years go by, my dealer moves to an new building, many many turnovers in the parts dept and we now use computers to look up parts. Remember microfiche catalogs? Over the years I have needed a few but I was repeatedly told that the valve was not available /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/drinkingdude.gif - go sell a turbo. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif This has started many an argument. Here we are, it's 2006 and we have a new computer system and catalog being used by a "new" counter man. (our shipping and receiving/stock boy got promoted) Guess what he found when I asked him to check the number posted here? /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif I guess it goes to say the parts guys have similar problems with information sources and trained employees.

LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Keith it's funny that you say that. I'm what you would call a old dog in the business. have done parts for almost 26 years and been around the block. What we need is more of us senior parts/service guys to show the rookies more of the proper ways of doing things. Computers are great but unless your trained properly they can be useless. BRING BACK THE MICROFILM AND CARD FILE INVENTORIES!!!! If needed have your guy's call me if their stuck on anything.
