Rollback on the left got a EGT13 which was actually the 3rd one down on this unit. Good thing I unplugged it and looked at data logger. Rollback on the right was equipped with a Cummins and got a servicing. You would think with a front tilt hood there would be some room to work on the engine but, a.......not so much. I ran out of grease and had to reload on the F-650, that thing has zerk fittings everywhere.

Oh yeah, she took a lick. Ford makes a replacement front frame section, similar to the Super Dutys. The break is between the front and rear subframe bolts. This one was bent just past the cut off point.

Want me to send my guy over to see if he can smell any water in the fuel?

Man I wish our SBDS worked. I would hang a sign in the front of the dealer that says we service EEC-IV vehicles. That thing was unbeatable for working OBD-1 Fords.

Interesting:

I would put an accumulator on mine, like the race cars use. It would be set up to supply another quart of oil to the turbo bearings whilst the turbo is still spinning after the key is turned off.

Reply to Bruce's last post. Well said, when I was working at the ski resort, management did everything right. Where as the next day I worked at the dealership, the dealership as a whole did everything wrong. It was quite an amazing contrast. I would never even think about being late for work at the resort, and my direct supervisor would never ask me to do anything that he wouldn't do himself.

Those guys that drive those "Port-A-Potty" trucks. I hear they have to take a lot of shit with their work. It's to my understanding they have to go through this training: BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yeah, I got a shit ton of on lookers with the frame on the T-car, a real dog and pony show. Most people don't realize that it's really just nuts and bolts. And with todays smart phones everywhere, you don't even have to have a good memory, just snag a photo of what your taking apart for future reference.

Good eye, there bud. That is indeed an Edge as I did not have a pic of the last Fusion Sport model that I did. However it went just as smooth. Maybe I just got lucky, I don't know.

You gotta write two tickets and collect 21.4 hours!

Visual of said job:

But the important thing was, I had an onion on my belt. Which was the style at the time. You guys.............you guys are pros at this!

Negative ghost rider. I be walkin out the door if that ever happens.

This thread is like a chatroom, 'bout 3 conversations goin' at once.

How to spot a redneck with a DUI:

When in doubt on these old ass engines.......run a manual compression test. It can give you volumes of information on the state of health before going any further.

Them things can suck air, you can bypass the chassis and just run a jug of diesel fuel to the lift pump and see what happens as long as test results are valid in your bay. Sounds like you could also have a leaking injector tip. You need the old school injector tester to check them accurately though. oddly enough we have two of them. Our shop is a living museum. http://www.toolsource.com/nozlrater-diesel-fuel-injector-nozzle-tester-d93l9000a-p-62578.html?osCsid=9m6tib3f203feg3qp60snjfq00

A 6mm bolt under those heat cycle extremes is the stupidest thing I have ever seen. Engineers are not as smart as there paychecks and degrees reflect. Them things are right up there with plastic heater hose tubes. Damnit, now I'm angry, I gotta do a cooler set tomorrow.

I was in Atlanta Georgia on my way to the airport, and doing about 80 MPH trying to keep up with traffic. It was about 2 A.M. the freeway was 8 lanes wide "snaking" over and under bridges (they call that section "spaghetti junction"), it's a white knuckles drive for sure. All of sudden a car passes me on the shoulder!!!!!!! had to be doin' at least a 100 MPH. Right after that, a cop on a motorcycle passes me going even faster trying to catch the guy all the while he's one handin' it whilst talking on the radio!!!!! Fuckin' balls of steel this guy.

Man, everyday I wake, I try not to take for granted the things I have. Best of wishes on your road to recovery!

That's it, it's a little loose but works great for installing. Mine is an impact version.

What??????
