  1. Big fan of Trent's music, that's cool you use hang out with him.
  2. I guess Ford will be keeping the E-350 and E-450 for heavy duty applications as the biggest transit you can get has a max gvwr 10360 lbs.
  3. Have you removed the map sensor to check the port to see if it is plugged with carbon.
  4. They don't have head gasket kits anywhere and no promise date for them, so it's hard to go the short block route. I find we haven't had to do too much work to get prior approval for a long block because of the lack of parts.
  5. http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2014/04/ford-will-continue-e-series-cutawaystripped-chassis.html So what happened to the bigger transit, did they have problems with it? Are they still going to make them?
  6. The guy next to me just put a turbo in and it did not have that mount either. It fixed the turbo noise, the wheel was hitting the housing.
  7. Wow ! nice find, I bet your happy this one is done.
  8. If they are aftermarket fuel injectors that's your problem. I have had no luck with aftermarket injectors, they don't seem to last.
  9. Take a look at the oil filter and see if you find metal.
  10. Nevermind just saw the pictures, for some reason they didn't load the first time I looked at the post
  11. Do you know who made the aftermarket head gasket. Are they all black or do they look like the Ford head gaskets just in black
  12. This is what it looks like. The seals swelled so much I could not even get the heat exchange out of the housing. The rubber part of the reservoir filter was swelled up as well
  13. I have seen the top oil feed line leak from the fitting.
  14. I had one that I was just doing coolers on and for some reason (I forget) I took the rad out and tried to flush it. I found that it barely flowed water yet the engine was not over heating during my road testing before the repair. Just like Jim talked about, coolant and air flow restrictions should be considered.
  15. I like changing frames, don't get to do them much anymore but it's one job I like doing.
  16. Just had a 2011 with 128 000 kms, three port on top.
  17. Wow I got one that sounds the same, engine will not say running and an oil leak from the front crank seal. Inspected and found lots of metal in the pan. I have another one outside sounding like its heading down the same road, both are 2011's.
  18. I have one right now with a dorman oil cooler that has had the base gasket come apart and almost plug the oil cooler reservoir filter. Its like they used the wrong type of rubber to make the seals, it has swelled up. I will take pictures tomorrow.
  19. Check the connectors on the left spring tower. Maybe when the cab came off the connector latches got broken in the process and now they are not holding tight.
  20. In my city I have not found any machine shop yet that will clean a 6.0 intake. I wish we had a machine shop like that here!!!!
  21. Try using an app call atomic web. I think it makes your iPad think its using Internet Explorer.
