I told him that but didnt know if there was an easier way. Thanks for responding Tony

Hi techs I have a friend that is installing a PCM in a 2011 F450 6.7L He said the sticker was not legible. Is there any other easy way to find them? He said PCM has no comm. Thanks

I Put one in my truck when I bought it. Its a basic Hobbs Unit. I have it hooked to Key up power. Its a bit noisy in the cab so for a customer I would put under the hood. Cheap and easy to install.

Hi Techs, Does Ford make a some kind of "kit" for this engine if petro is added and run? I thought I remember reading something here but my search results came up empty thanks Karl Forget about it. I found what I needed

I think an IDS file with all nec. PIDS of a koeo to crank & run would help Identify your problem. Can files be uploaded on this Forum?

Hi Aron Agreed on keeping it factory. I'm sure if one had a machine shop they could do all sourts of upgrades specially the oil system. I wonder if tap ping into the stand pipes (regulated of course)to some piping for extra lifter/cam lube? To bad it s not in the budget build. Would you agree that usually lifter damage is due to an engine that idles a lot or lack of maintanence? Still waiting to get block back. I got the cam and engine kit(freeken cool). I also got a set of Ford Heads for the build. Im piling up with 6.o stuff I will likely keep it all but..ya nevah know. This truck better last until I retire lol Thanks

Forgot to mention I have an 02 ambulance 7.3L too. 1 cylinder had coolant from a poor seeling injector cup. Its been ready for re assembly for about 4 years now. All machine work has been done. I would really like the 6.o back in it though. Also I have a shit load of extra parts for 6L too.

Thanks Bruce, I saw them VW's you did, Very nice! The Machine shop picture I put up doesn't do these blocks. Now I'm hunting for another Machine shop. I have to get the block done because I already have the parts. I also have a 07 DT466 that needs a cam(& going through)that could take its place in my truck I really like that Idea but I haven't found any solid evidence that it would be OK to do so. If I had proof that the only difference in the way the truck drove was power and sound, I would be all for it.

found a place just down the road. Keith I hope that image is small enough

Hi Matt, It had 2 lifters that failed. One bore is out of spec or loose in comparison to others. Just at the bottom of the bore though. He had me bring all the good and bad lifters to his shop to check bore integrity. He tried several lifters in the bad bore.

I just Spoke to my machinist and he told me he didn't have any machines to do that type of repair. He is looking around in Massachusetts to see if anyone local will cut and install sleeves. Do you know anyone in the North East that does this? I'm going to Google it and see what I come up with I really don't want to take another one out thanks for your help Karl

Hi Keith, Thanks for responding. I'm thinking this is what the machinist is wanting to do(put sleeves in). I didn't get a chance to run over there yesterday but am planning on it today @ lunch. He told me that if it were his, he would likely not worry about it. Just wanted me to know. I don't want to spend a shit load on a brick. I have access to other 6.0s but would have to take them out & they all are in E series chassis. I would like to look at it myself to get a better idea of what to do. I may just have it sleeved if that is what he recommends just for piece of mind. Karl

I forgot to tell you that it's the lifter bore in question.

Hi Techs, What would you consider out of spec? I have a 07 Ambulance block that I am recon-ing for my F350. This engine had a couple of flat lifters+cam lobes. Other than that was serviced by hours and the rest of it looks good. The machine shop cleaned up the lifter bore and that's when I got the call. I was told there was a machinist that can perform these type repairs. I am assuming he cuts it and installs a bushing or something of that nature. I will find out details later. Should I let it fly? Has anyone ever gone this direction or new about and let it fly? It is out about 0.010 - 15 The plan was to punch out cylinder 20 and get a overhaul kit 4C3Z-6R007-A as long as the block was cool. thanks Karl

Hi Bruce & everyone It looks to me (rookie)like there is a variance in the ckp trigger wheel =ing either speed or gap change (walking) Hard to tell from a picture. Did that ckp signal repeat like that in the image? Was there a resolution to this one? Was the ckp trigger wheel hanging on by its last legs Forgive me with so many questions I know this post is old but was curious is all Been reading a lot of you guys post and have been really enjoying them
