Dzltech

we had one come in that needed def,opened the hood and love where they put the egr cooler,that will never be a problem..... Don't know if its going to be remove transmission to replace egr cooler or not....

I believe it was enough to crank up the power,but consider the cylinder pressures and boost pressures and the fact that the 6.0 has 10 head bolts and the 7.3 has 17,which are not torque to yield......can't turn a extremely light duty diesel into a race engine without problems,I believe

Well Doc,I need to stay quiet here,I guess.....lol I just finished my 32 6.0 engine r&r and don't want to get beat up on my times. I do hate the fact that I can do an r&r with my eyes closed,though

pull the motor,I can get a 7.3 on the floor in under 2 hours.Like stated before,its worth not having the aggravation....but to each his own.

We have sold a load of these,but have only seen serp belt problems and a couple of alternators.I did go online at Fords site and did a little build and price on the new Expy EL and they have listed under future options as a 4.5 Powerstroke V8....which I believe is a typo,but they list the engine as having 300 hp and 500 lbs of torque....so we shall see.

Well,does not seem that there is any formal 6.4 training in the near or maybe distant future,as with the 6.0-here it is fix it.Now I spoke with our fse last week and he told me that he has heard of no training lined up for the motor,it will be out no later than Janurary 07,they are blowing them up on the dyno,and rumor has it that anything more than an oil change will require cab removal,so the rumor also is that they may configure quick disconnects on the firewall and pin the cab on.....now agreed this is still rumor and preliminary,but I can believe it. Peace to all my mentally strained diesel brothers,and also physically abused diesel techs.

I HAVE RUN INTO THIS QUITE A FEW TIMES,I CUT THE BOLT OFF,AS WAS ALREADY POSTED OR CUT THE PEDISTAL OPEN TO PULL IT OUT

congrads on the pull,as for myself I am ashamed to say that I have done 16 6.0,and 9 heads,8 head gaskets. Man this is pitiful.I have only done 8 7.3's and they have been around for over 10 years. God this sucks.Got an 05 550 with 5 miles on it in the bay,pulled the body and right head due to breaking rocker arms in #7,found rusted and gouged cylinder walls,inspector came and today I was informed that a new motor is on the way....guess this will be #17. Ohh yeah have also done 5 bedplates....yeah fun

Newest calibration coming up will address the EGR valve problem

I believe you can not r&r both heads in the truck,with the body on,Ford recommends removing the evaporator box for the right head,but there is no way you can torque the head bolts in the body. Remove the cab and you will not be sorry,if I am left alone and work steady,I can get a caB OFF IN AN HOUR AND A HALF(MOST OF THE TIME)as for excursions,you will have to pull the engine.

I agree with you entirely. What I would like to fix is the oil leak problems....tell them"It's a diesel,it's suppose to leak"....lol

I have done 16 engines and 9 cylinder heads,I wouldn't do anymore without removing the body....I agree with the room to work.

05 with broken rockers,removed head(right),after raising cab,#7 cylinder has water infiltration and is rusted with bent valves. Not bad for 5 miles on it....huhh? Now have to r&r motor,after inspector has looked at it. It will be a glorious day when they drop the 6.0

seeing as our dealership has sold 124 units and has 62 units on the lot,needing the recall-we have been quite busy tearing trannies up. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/banghead.gif
