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.

I have had one kind of like yours. The truck came in with no flow so I removed the low pressure regulator and found it stuck. I re installed it and the truck started. It was under warranty so I called the hotline and they told me it only sticks from debris. So I removed the low pressure pump and found damage to the front cover and marks on the pump gears. I ended up finding a failed lifter, but you said you just replaced the stc fitting. Did you see if the clip was missing from inside the old stc fitting.

Ya that's true. I filled this guys tank up and marked the km's down and told him to come by for a fill up when he get's the 800 km warning. Then we shall see if this guy is just pulling my chain.

Wow never seen this before in a recall letter.

Cool Thanks for the info ! Could low quality def cause usage problems?

Has anyone heard when this thing is going to hit the streets? or any other info for that matter.

This is an old topic, but now that 6.7 has been out for a couple of years I was hoping that someone has come across a def usage problem. I have a 2012 f-350 drw and the customer states that he went thru 40-50 litters of def with in 10 000 kms. I have no codes at all, performed dosing test and found it made 50 ml's of def. The hotline did not give me anything to chew on, so I was wondering what else I could look at and test. Thanks

Just finished putting two long blocks into a 2013 f-150 eco boost. The truck came in locked up with rods out both sides of the block. The first long block went it with out a hitch. Coming back from my road test I heard a noise. That long block only lasted 6 kms before it damaged a rod bearing on #5. I am not too sure why but maybe they left some debris when they re built this long block.. Installed long block #2 in record time, road tested and was very happy to find this one is not making noise. Knock on wood

That is very odd. I have never seen mls head gaskets leak so much that it would smoke out the tail pipe. Who's long block? Ford's? I would have a close look at the heads for sure.
