What's In Your Bay - Part VI

[batmantech]

Just resealed a oil pan leak on a 2015 with a 2.7.

I really dislike getting all that silicone of of the plastic pan and the block.

I got a real good look at those drain back valves in the pan that make you wait 15 minutes to check oil level. They are a little rubber flapper over a hole.

I finished up an 06 F-350 6.0 I haven't seen in a few years. Got a #5 injector, ficm and a left bank of glow plugs. These plugs were the worst I've ever done, every single harness broke off in the rocker box. I should have taken my own advice and pulled the injectors and popped the harnesses out from the inside. Nope, struggled my ass off and basically picked them all to pieces from the outside. Very irritating.

Finishing up a e450 6.0 ambulance head gaskets. I hate working on a e series

I got an 08 chevy cobalt with a blown up timing chain tensioner and I got to work this morning and found a towed in no start/ stalled while driving on a 15 F550. Fuel pressure codes. Drained the water seperator into a clean container. Smells like someone filled it up with E-85 instead of diesel.

I have nothing lined up for next week.

Diagnosed a bad power folding 3rd row seat motor.

[Matt Saunoras]

So far today done a HFCM in a 6.0 and looked at a 12 F-450 with a weird bobble vibration around 45mph. Brand new double coin 19.5s all the way around, I suspect they weren't balanced. I think the last time I felt vibration from a cab and chassis they had the same kind of tires.

 

Next up is some t-stats on a 6.4

[Matt Saunoras]

Sold balljoints, RF tierod, and trac bar ball joint/bushing on the 6.4

I'm up to my eyeballs in 15M01's.

I don't know what is in my bay. And I don't care. I, am on vacation all week at home doing as little as possible.

[jimmy57]

When you get back from vacation your lift is going to be all greasy from ll the gravy that was done on it while you were out.

2 front springs and both rear spring pins and bushings on a IH 3800 bus...

good thing we close early and don't re-open till the 4th...

Fortunately there is no need to have it done today as I am not in the working hard mood today! LOL

 

Merry Christmas and Happy new to all!!

You suck.

After being dead-slow for the better part of a month things actually picked up a few days prior to Christmas

 

- 2012 F150 5.0 came in for a leaking water pump, couldn't help but notice the shake at idle, check engine light and P0304. needs a cyl head

- 2009 Escape for an intermediate shaft and a PTU reseal

- 2014 F150 5.0 for a water pump and an axle seal

- 2012 RCMP F150 5.0 for a front pinion seal, metal on metal brakes, a loose rear pinion, leaking bulkhead connector

- 2002 7.3 for an ignition barrel and a starter

 

beats doing remote starters, mud flaps and oil changes trying to squeak out a pay cheque

[forddieseldoctor]

- 2002 7.3 for an ignition barrel and a starter

 

What the heck is an ignition barrel?

[YukonTyler]

ignition cylinder .... my own slang i suppose?

[forddieseldoctor]

That's what I was wondering. Never heard it called that before.

[batmantech]

Tyler question for you.

Referring to your post about the 5.0

What did you find wrong with the head?

[Matt Saunoras]

Got a bunch of crap here but most interestingly an 04 F-450 6.0 no start. No fuel pressure the pump is just pushing air. Got it in the shop by letting the HFCM draw from a 5 gallon diesel can. Fuel gauge says 1/2 tank, sender ohms out at 100 ohms which should be 1/2. There is definitely no fuel in the tank though. Called a sending unit on it only to find this once I crawled up under the body to release the fuel lines.

 

Needless to say I was about $1200 low on the estimate.

[lmorris]

Can't you just pressure it up with shop air and pop it back into shape? Yes, I was actually asked that once.

[Matt Saunoras]

I really didn't know an aft axle tank could do that.

[Brad Clayton]

[forddieseldoctor]

Wtf happened to it?

[tonybullitt]

The vent got plugged with dirt and the pump created a vacuum eventually causing it. There is a tsb with a vent kit to move the vent away from the top of tank.

[tonybullitt]

Here it is.
