I like changing frames, don't get to do them much anymore but it's one job I like doing.

Just had a 2011 with 128 000 kms, three port on top.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!!

Try using an app call atomic web. I think it makes your iPad think its using Internet Explorer.

hahaha! priceless!

I have only seen fuel tank delamination once. There no places in our city that fix these tanks and the customer I had did not want to pay for a new one. He told me he was going to take it home and clean it himself. He brought it back a couple of days later and told me he had pressure washed it out so it should be good. Hahahahah!

Wow that looks like a nice piece and half the cost of the for tank!

I think this is a growing concern with any tech line for the manufactures. I think they are still trying to figure out what these new diesels are doing still. Fords tech hotline has been very hard to get any good info from them about weird problems.

The truck I was working on got a new dpf in the end,so when I went to re set the dpf table thats when I the noted the dist_regen_c finally re set.

So now that most of the 6.0 trucks that are coming in for work have high mileage, do all you guys send the heads out to get pressure tested?

Ya it should be fun trying to get this thing hot, Forecast does not look good for the week. The prior approval people also noted if there procedure was not followed the scr system may become damaged. Nice eh

I have a 2011 f-550 right now that has a failed turbo. There is lots of play in the wheel and oil leaking into the scr system. I went to get approval for an scr system and they denied it telling me that it does not damage the dpf like in the 6.4's. I was told to remove the whole scr and stand it on end to let the oil drain out, then slowly get the engine to operating temp and then perform a active re gen to burn off oil in the exhaust. Has anyone else been told his by hotline? I can't believe that this is a acceptable repair.

Where do you get those injectors from?

Can you agree with how dumb it is to have a tech wasting that much time driving and waiting 70 minutes to get a test result when they should just be replacing a part or reprogramming a pcm to actually fix something.

Check out what GM tech's have to go thru for what looks like our p207f code. I like this tech's quote"I used to like working on diesels". I find I am starting to feel the same way about trying to fix these new diesels.

I called the hotline and asked them why after I performed a manual regen why the pid would not re set and they told me it was because it did not complete. I don't get it because after the manual regen was done it told me that regen had been successfully completed. Maybe its a software problem.

I forgot to add that it re set the other pid dist_regen_req

I have one I just did a manual regen on and the dist_regen_c pid did not re set to 0 after. The pid should re set right?

Did you find what caused the cylinder damage?

Aaron, did you air check the system with the oil filter cap off. If you have air leaking into the low side maybe you have a bad hpop.

Wow, that would make a lot of sense. That does not sound good for Ford, almost every one else has there new van coming out soon.

I think if I had to do it again I would just pull the motor out and do it that way.
