Alex Bruene Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Don't go posting shit like this on INFORD... *** *** A1090 LINCOLN HEIGHTS FORD OTTAWA , ON posted Jun 18, 2012 8:38AM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I do these with just taking cab up 4" without disconecting anything else. Let turbo cool over night and the bolts will come out fine. Loosen exhaust outlet pipe but you don't have to remove. flex pipe comes out through top. Here's to looking forward to replacing right side inlet pipes for 1.5! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Saunoras Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 And there it is. I see partial cab lift in the wsm in the near future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchan68 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 The only information missing is how little time this job can be done by using this method. Gentlemen, get your fresh new 10mm sockets ready!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselD Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 It ALWAYS just a matter of time before someone spills the beans on the shortcut trying to look like a smart guy to FOMOCO then everyone looses out on the shortcut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Clayton Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Back in the day, before the internet, Ford would pay $100 bucks for a better way to do things. Idiots and super techs would get their 100 clams and then lose out on all the labor due to the time being "adjusted". Any one remember the Tempo/Topaz crank pulley labor time being 8 hours? Well I do and it took one "super tech" to change it to 1.0 hour flat! Of course now Ford doesn't pay shit, all they gotta do is monitor the boards.

djmiller Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 How many times do we need to tell these !?@#%! to STFU Alex? Gets me right worked up when I see that shit. He fails to mention that if you get bolts that are a real whoore or certain add on equipment makes it impossible still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Saunoras Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Those bolts are a bitch, especially when your fighting them from the front. I've had to heat every one I've run across unless the cab is off, then they seem to come right out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Bruene Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 I've done this method and broken a bolt. Good luck getting access to said bolt with the turbo AND transmission in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
