Mine has the stand but not the 6.7L adapters. Only had 1 6.7L torn down to a short block and that was done using the engine crane and powertrain table. 

We still have the 6.7 adapters with ours, never used and collecting dust. Funny you should mention.... I'm just building up a 5.0 on a '17 Mustang using the exact same method you described right now.

Seems like I am getting a couple wet BCMs every month now. 17-18 Super duties. Often there are some really strange symptoms too!

That works out to 6.8 average MPH.           

 

 

Numbers like that are common in our fleets. The worst was the City of St Louis truck that had something like 5,000 miles and 11,000 hours. They also had constant DPF problems.

[batmantech]

This is the 2nd dpf on this unit.  Also they are a large co-op, "fleet". Multiple trucks with "drive to clean" check engine lights on. They just keep using them till they stop. Cant get them to do the man regen.   I guess that's  job security for me.

We can't get PSE&G to change their engine oil. My dealer alone has charged them over $150K for engines: 6.7L PSD and 6.7L Cummins and a few Transit engines and V10's. Doing one right now on a 2019 with the factory filter still on it and... Change engine oil now message displaying on the dash. By engine hours it should be on it's 4th or 5th oil change.  I don't fucking understand.

[batmantech]

I don't get it either. One theory I have is the disconnect that upper management  at these places have with common sense. They just plain don't understand that it is their staffs lack of maintenance at fault.  Most think that its just poor product.  The other issue is lack of available employees.

There is some new recall for dpf issues, for trucks that idle. 20e08

[lmorris]

2018 F150, 3.5L EcoBoost. 141,870 KM. Bank 1 EXH phaser lock pin blew out the front of the phaser.

[cbriggs]

Huh. I always wondered what the long term effects of the phaser lock pin rattle would be.

[mchan68]

That was the worst one I've ever had, out of the hundreds of the ones I've done.

[Steve Mutter]

I have never seen a 6.7 cooler do this, it was a 2014 f-350

Nice. How hot did that engine get?

Not sure, I got the truck half torn down from another shop with all the codes cleared. I replaced the cooler core, re pressure tested it before putting it back on the truck just to know it sealed. Seems to run good and is not building excessive pressure in the cooling system. 

[lmorris]

Our parts manager's on going project truck. Has a new high stall converter and is setting TC clutch codes. Replacing the main control under TSB first before putting another TC in it.

[lmorris]

2016 Focus, 59000 km with the worst clutch failure I have seen. We tried and tried and can't get the clutch to seperate from the input shaft.

[lmorris]

Change oil much??

[lmorris]

The truck was towed in not running. After much diagnosis, I found the turbo shaft broken, exhaust impeller jammed into the housing, intake compressor wheel flopping around and the compressor housing full of oil. It ran with the cold side CAC hose and exhaust disconnected. Replaced the turbo, cleaned CAC, pipes and both intakes. Ran good until it started to knock🤪🤔🤣. Managed to hide the lack of maintenance so we can get the turbo covered, not so sure about the engine. Waiting for service records now.

 

Truck left on a tow truck.

Update on repair.

[lmorris]

2020 Explorer Police unit. Complaint of loud grinding then no forward or reverse.

[Brad Clayton]

What's the full repair going to be on that one?

So far, short block, seperator plate and a torque converter. Can't see any signs of wear to the transmission front support. No codes. Fluid is good. Waiting on a Hotline response concerning the need to tear down the transmission.

[jimmy57]

I will have to say that is the first time I have seen bolt lugs separated from TC.
