If this guy did this on purpose he going to wish he never did, that original engine is 10 times what the reman will be,we had a customer do that to a mustang for engine noise,he wanted a new engine(his warranty was almost up) but there was nothing wrong with it,so he took his car to the back of our lot and put it to the floor and redlined it till there was noise, I guess this guy though that no one would see what he just did because he came back and tried to get warranty,needless to say he did not get warrnaty,what some people will do whene the warranty is almost up!

I had one as well that turned out to be the ipr,it was an 04 f-450 when it would get hot I would get p2623 as a hard fault,I could never get my hands in there to test the resistance, by the time I did it would pass,so I removed the ipr valve and put I heat gun to it,hooked test leads up to it and at 180 it would go open,

so maybe P0128/P0196 are not false codes after all? so what does this mean for the tee fitting recall,replaced the rad, thermostats and install the tee fitting

that's heavy stuff, does anyone know what the clp programe is? I can't seem to find any info on this just an faq

I had one like that,never found the screen but it did not matter much because the truck was getting a long block because of a split injector tip

no, I just used a block of wood and a jack under the bellhousing,lifted it up till I could get the motor mount out,this way you don't have to take the hole stator out

the tool we had for the 3v would get used so much that it would bend out of shape,I always had to give it a little bend back everytime I used it to push the valve down to get the clearance

left side motor mount it is,I just did injectors on that side today,I don't know what it is but this seems to be the week that everyone is getting there there e-series fixed?

thanks guy's

e-van on your birthday suck's, an e-van with a serp belt driven pto and hose everywhere just puts your in your happy place,just like in the Adam Sandler movie

I have just replaced the engine harness for a wire chafe and I was just woundering how do you claim time on this job? is it M/T time, what operation codes do you guys use?

this was on the site that other vidoe was on http://video.competitiondiesel.com/video/149-60-on-leaf-Lakes_242002.htm

how about the video of the white f-250 picking the wheels off the ground at the strating line,wow!

egr valves are hard to get but now dpf's are now back order with no date,what is going on in ford land,this whole not being able to get parts to fix trucks is getting dumb! are you guys seeing more plugged filters after this recall? could it be from people not doing that drive cycle,I think it is like half and half,half the people liked it when it would regen at idle and the other half did not know what regen was? oh well

that is too funny,I wouder who made that,I don't think they like Mr Banks at all

frame jobs are pure gravy! lucky toyota techs, thats is two funny a recall on the frame

I had a 6.0 that had a stiction problem,so I did the tsb 08-26-3,did all the test and found the ficm was ok,the truck did not have inductive heat so I reprogramed and re tested, the truck runs good now,got the claim kicked back because they said I did not follow the tsb? I don't know what ford wants from us but it is getting dumb how much they are kicking back, how many of you guys get pay deduction if a claim get kicked back? they don't do that hear but I have talk to some techs that have to deal with it all the time,thats a raw deal!

check this out, http://www.autoblog.com/2009/03/05/pull-off-to-the-right-for-fords-new-e-series-super-duty-ambulan/ only talks about the 6.8,I though that you could have got a gas ambo if you wanted it?

we will have to wait and see,I think back when the 2008's were coming out the diesel package for econoline was up in the air for a little bit as well, I wounder what they will do as of 2010 when IH and ford split up?

if it is a wix filter there are two types,the filter comes with a warning,if you have that spring standpipe type you are to use a different part #,maybe they have the wrong jobber filter as well,I have see it a couple of times now where they have the wix cap and a ford oil filter in there,these wix filters are just a big mess waiting to happen

ya its a 6.0,thanks Keith found it,it had chafed thru on the vcauum pump

I have a e-box with p0657 hard fault and p0962 in history,I checked out that tsb but can not find a bare wire at c195,is there any other places that are know for chafing? anyone got any tips?

They have a new cleaning and inspection video but I can't get it to play,has anyone see this video yet,it's in the wsm

somtimes you just need paper work to help your point if you have a problem truck and if the customer does not what to work with you,I do try and keep an open mind with everything, and do what I can to do to try and fix stuff,I see your point
