Got a hurt 2017 transit 3.2, #3 has a dead miss

Found what looks like some aluminum debris that must have fell in between the head and the gasket when they put the engine together from new. Damaged the head surface so its getting one head for sure, I have a video but its on my phone. If I can find the time I will try and upload it.

I have a customer that needs up fitter switches in the 2019 super duty. I see that you can no longer can add that function after the fact with ford parts. I would like to use some kind of box like this one but can't get it in Canada fast enough. What other options have you guys found for this, customer wants to run a transfer pump and 3 lights.

Thanks for the reply's, will be tearing down the engine this week and will post what I find.

I got a 2018 f-350 6.7 with losing coolant 60 000km. Customer has come by 3 times to have coolant top up about 6 litres each time, good customer who takes care of his trucks.I have checked for external leaks and found none, oil level is not over full, trans oil looks red and is not over full, have pressure test with it running and found the cooling system holds a vacuum. Road tested with a pressure gauge and found when the truck is hot cooling system pressure spikes to around 25 psi, my gauge did go any higher so it may spike even higher. Took the egr cooler off today and pressure tested it, does not look clean from coolant and its holding pressure with the test gauge installed. Anyone out there run into anything like this ? Last thing I am going to do befor taking the heads off is pressure test it over night and check the glow plug holes for coolant, any input is appreciated.

Today I have a 2015 transit 3.2 for a vacuum pump. Pump is locked up and leaking oil out the back. Just to note the vacuum pump does not come with a gaskets, guess who's waiting now to get the seal over night shipped

I have not been to ford school in a long time so I miss out on a lot of the rumours, one of the kids in my shop just came back from a class and he told me that the rumour is that ford will be putting cummins diesel in the super duty in 2021. It sounds like bs but just wondering if anyone else has heard anything like this. 

I got this lisle set after getting beat up by a hard manifold job and true to form I have had to use it yet.  Same thing happened when I bought my 7.3 cup tool, bought it over ten years ago and used it 2 times. Lisle did make a good 5.4 3v tool and at around $100 Canadian it worth a shot.  I will update this when I get a chance to use it.

DTS is by far the best site, there is none of the bull shit that there is on social media.

I have one coming in for an egr cooler today, I have never done one yet so the trick is just to lower the engine down? and the intake manifold does not have to come off at all to do this job ?

Update

I assembly the head and put air in cylinder #4 and found air good amount leaking from the intake valves and some out the bottom side of the piston. The insurance company did not want to chance it so they are putting in a long block with fuel system. Now just waiting for parts as most of them are back ordered with no promise date. 

Have not replaced the fuel system yet, I normally do a relative compression test befor I install a fuel system just in case there is base engine damage.

I have a 2017 f-250 6.7 that was filled with def and ran till it quit. I performed a relative compression and found that #4 was low. I performed a manual compression test and found that #4 is at 100 psi and #2 is at 140 psi. The other two where both around 350 psi so I pulled the head off and inspected.  Being so low I hoped to find something. All pistons come over the deck the same amount, cylinder wall look good, piston tops don't look melted and I pull out #4 piston to have a look and don't see anything odd on the rings. I did find if you pour varsol on the face of the cylinder head you can see it leak into the intake and exhaust ports of the two cylinders and not on the other two. I don't think there is enough leakage to account 250 less psi so I am stumped as to where my lose could be. I did perform the manual compression test two different time just to be sure, even pulled the gear off the high pressure fuel pump just in case it was locking up. Have any of you had a 6.7 with base engine damage after being run on def ?

sure

Kenny, how did you fix your trucks with the blown up high pressure pumps ? Did you just replace the fuel system or did you find base engine problems? I have a 2016 f-500 with a blown up high pump, metal in vcv, rust stains on pcv and the high pressure roll pin has sheared off.

Check the link, and check your year to see if that works

Just went to park the truck out side and found it re set itself

I have a 2017 f250 that came in for incorrect level stuck at 3/4. So I topped up the def and performed a re fill activation. Now the truck reads empty. I have no codes koeo koer and no cmdtc's. So now i start going through the pinpoint test and get to rj9 and get lost. I can't seem to find where the reductant dosage control module is and can't find the circuits in the wiring diagram that they want me to tie together. Can anyone shed some light on this, is the reductant dosage control module the def heater/sender and they have just change the name in that pinpoint test? I still can't find the rdl1 2 3 pins though. 

Looks like we might have an epidemic with these kind of style. This was the def level sensor connector shorting can2 causing network codes.

A very high percentage of 6.7's i have worked on have plugged map sensors. I have gotten into the habit of always checking the map sensor when doing any kind of diagnosis and most of the time it does not leave a code but will be completely plugged.

I ended up performing a pmi by making it think the pcmcia was blank, and then for some reason after it re set itself. It still wouldn't let me perform the re fill activation but it was a bell bucket truck with a tee in for the GPS, I will have to try the next time.

I have a 2011 I just put a def tank in for code p21bo, I have no codes now koeo koer passed and the tank is full. It will not let me complete the re fill activation it will always kick me out and say procedure was unsuccessful. Has anyone else run into this, the tank level pid show %100 but it still will not re set in the dash. 

I have a hard time getting an answer about why we can't get motorcraft 5w40 oil in Canada , apparently we can only get 0w40 mobil delvac oil that is approved ck-4 oil.
