re-man turbo issues
forddieseldoctor replied to leavnon3rd's topic in 6.0L Power Stroke® Diesel Engines
They are Ford remans, Plus there was oil in the turbine housing when I split the turbo on the bench, but I will check out the crankcase vent tomorrow when I drop the turbo back on. I do remember that the original one did not leak oil. I think that we pulled it for a sticking/overboost issue. -
2002 T-Bird FEM Programing
forddieseldoctor replied to ktmlew's topic in Tools, Computers and the Internet
First question. What's an indy shop? If I remember right the fem is a t-bird and LS exclusive. And yeah I would consider it to be similar to an sjb. But keep in mind there is a rem on those too. -
You can still get lots of Windows 7 stuff. Just not at your local Best Buy or Office Max.

re-man turbo issues
forddieseldoctor replied to leavnon3rd's topic in 6.0L Power Stroke® Diesel Engines
I've got an 05 F-550 that has a new crha waiting to be installed. Turbo is under warranty, we put a complete assembly on it last summer (Don't remember why) and it came back a few weeks later smoking. Pulled the turbo and found the oil seal leaking into the turbine housing, Put another turbo on it and now it's back again smoking and using oil. Pulled the turbo, plugged the oil drain, soaped down the turbine wheel put 40 psi of air to the oil feed and watch it bubble. Both of the shafts have the normal amount of play in them. And yes I pre-lubed both of them like the directions that came with them say to do. -
2002 T-Bird FEM Programing
forddieseldoctor replied to ktmlew's topic in Tools, Computers and the Internet
I don't know why he can't use the IDS? Unless he's reading the workshop manual and seeing that it doesn't list IDS as a programing option. -
Has anyone had the pleasure to try and return something to RTTP? I got a socket that doesn't do what it's supposed to. I tried calling them after work not realizing they were closed already and every time I pressed ext 4 they'd hang up on me.

Solid State Laptop Hard Drive
forddieseldoctor replied to Keith Browning's topic in Tools, Computers and the Internet
I had one in my last laptop I used at work. It was awesome. Then the boss decided to be nice and buy new laptops for us. I haven't come up with the funds to put a ssd in my new laptop yet. My local computer "know it all" told me to stick with the Intel drives if it's for work. -
02 F-250 long crank
forddieseldoctor replied to batmantech's topic in 7.3L Power Stroke® Diesel Engines
I don't think I would call 2 to 3 seconds of crank time long. What does it do if you leave it outside overnight? -
2016 Bronco SVT has 4.9L Powerstroke?

They made a note in the top of the article that says it's fake now. -
2010 Escape 3.0L Lower Engine Block Cracked
forddieseldoctor replied to mchan68's topic in All Gasoline Engines
Just because it can be don't mean that it should be. -
We've got low ceilings too. I've got lots of holes punched in it above my hoist. Ladder racks, shovel handles, top corner of a dump box.

Help.....Repeat injector failure......
forddieseldoctor replied to BigWalt's topic in 6.0L Power Stroke® Diesel Engines
There's people who are yanking out the check valve banjo bolts and putting the 6.4 bolts on their 6.0's. I was not aware that they should be replaced when you have combustion gas in the fuel rails. -
Those subframes ain't too bad to replace. I did one cause someone snapped off a control arm bolt and messed up the threads bad enough getting it out that it kept loosening up.

I got the idea from reading the other brand anti-gel bottles. I stood at the local Fleet Farm one night and read 3 or 4 different brands directions and they all say when it's below zero or -10 that you need to run double the amount. I was told by a Powerstroke engineer that running extra Ford additive will not hurt anything other than your pocketbook.
-
You gotta pull the extra rubber adapters off and stuff that thing in the neck really deep. If you look down the neck on the bottle there is a slot in the back edge where the thing bleed off pressure at. If you look at the cap it seals like the early escape ones do with an o-ring around it. Just had the guy by us get his butt kicked by that.

Seems like all of Ford's recent recalls are glue on a new bracket and call it good.

cab on engine out
forddieseldoctor replied to Brad Clayton's topic in 6.4L Power Stroke® Diesel Engines
We all know we got enough of those laying around. -
uvc harness clip part number
forddieseldoctor replied to 64nomore's topic in 7.3L Power Stroke® Diesel Engines
I've never heard of these before. Are they for where people are sticking quarters in to keep the harnesses connected? -
Our first one's in the shop right now. Thankfully it's not on my hoist. I really have no ambition to do one. Didn't read through everything, but what I did looks like no fun.
-
I don't have a fuel heater in my 7.3. It was laying loose in the bottom when I changed my fuel filter once so I yanked it out. I'm in Wisconsin, but I am very religious about my anti-gel and when it gets down below zero I run double additive. I did not have any problems this year, but last year I did and that was when I decided to run extra additive. I also have a customer with a 6.7 who gelled up twice this year and the second time he was treated with the motorcraft stuff and after that when it was below zero he started running double too and he had no problems after that.

Did anyone else glance at this yet? I'm expecting it to be more fun with glue. [*]Certain 2001-2004 Model Year Escape Vehicles Operated in Corrosion States - Front Subframe Crossbrace Installation

I can't wait for the first call from an independent shop that just put a tie rod in.

VCM II Problems
forddieseldoctor replied to forddieseldoctor's topic in Tools, Computers and the Internet
You telling us that you can't go out and buy something better/different and use them? That is correct. I've tried and it did not work. I tried another D-link adapter, but a smaller one and I couldn't make it work. I even let my cousin who deals with networks for a living try it and he couldn't hack it. -
VCM II Problems
forddieseldoctor replied to forddieseldoctor's topic in Tools, Computers and the Internet
Did the reset thing, it worked for about 3 uses. Then started doing all of the tests that hotline told me to do. Ended up being a bad d-link adapter on the vcm II. -
Did anyone ever figure out what that tape was exactly? My parts guy wants to try and locate some more. We finally used up the stash we had.
