I agree, I don't like the way the gsb has you flush and does not have you replace the fuel cooler. I removed all the frame mounted lines and flush them out individually. Leaves no doubt that things are %100 clean.

That lower fuel filter sure looks funny and that def tank looks like there is an access port for service.

So when are they going to do this recall for the 6.4`s

Hotline told me the same thing about oil in the the src system, i have a hard time believing that it would not damage it some how.

I think I need to take speed lessons from that guy from Gilliam. Hahahahah

What do you do with the fuse box? do you just lay it on the engine.

I just worked on a f-350 6.7 dually with ford's pre paid maintenance. I performed a #2 service oil/filter/lube/inspection. Found the rear brake at 2mm so it needs brake pads. I was told by my shop foreman we are not to replace or machine rotors now so I was told just to replace the pads which now only pays 0.1. Is this right ? is that all they are paying or does my shop foreman have the wrong information. You get 1.4 for the #2 and 0.1 for brake pads, just seems very low to me.

Had one where someone replaced a caliper and could not get the air out. No amount of manual bleeding could get the air out, you have to use a pressure bleeder.

Nice shop! Why do you guys have so many drive on hoist ?

Part # fd-4616 shows frozen stock in Canada, does anyone know why or when they will be sold again?

Wow, thanks for the information. I guess you be doing that re set if the air filter is severely restricted too.

The hotline told you to re set MAF 10 times back to back ?

I have a 2009 flex with the touch screen nav system and I was wonder if there is any way to get text notifications to show in the screen with an iphone. My wife use to have a samsung galaxy s5 and it would show when you got a incoming text message but her new iphone does not. Just wondering if anyone has found a way around this.

Why does a 2016 just burst into flames, very scary.

Gravy grabber! Nothing changes! I learned from the best

Just put a rad in a 2010 2500 6.7 dodge, book time was 3 hours. There was only 6 bolts I had to undo, sweet job.

You nailed it on the head, hardest engine to fix because of the cost of repairs. I give quotes for repairs and they all end up going somewhere willing to under cut us or patch repair which is very dangerous, I have only done one retail engine and it was on high rail truck. Its not just one thing with these engines.

It is very hard to get a straight answer from anyone when it comes to stuff like this. Ford barely tells us what there changing when it comes to pcm strategy. Does this truck have the stock turbos on it, maybe if it is not a vvt turbo the aftermarket programming just infers ebp so he can run a different turbo set up. Situations like this is why I don't like working on hot rod diesel stuff.

The work shop manual states that you have to remove the flex plate to remove the upper oil pan, is this true Leon? I just looked at a 6.7 truck, now I know why.

Depends on the year of truck, 13's and up have more sensors and modules to reinstall. I have been told the scrap metal place here pays you $500 for scr exhaust systems.

Well the truck finally came back today, I checked the thermostat in boiling water and found it opens at 185 deg, I checked the pins from the coolant sensor to the pcm and found there are in the correct location. I installed the new engine oil cooler and found no change in how it is acting. I think that because the two sensor are in very different position on the engine this is why the readings looked odd too me. I am too used to 6.0 6.4 where the eot and ect are mounted on top of the engine oil cooler. Where the 3.2's eot is in the lower block and the ect is in the thermostat housing. What I learned is that I need to look at the whole system and not assume stuff, but is was good to work on and learn where stuff is on this new engine. Brain fart ect is not in the oil cooler housing on any engine, don't know what I was thinking.

Dorman should have a recall on there crap, its not fair for anyone who has installed this shit on there trucks.

The customer needed the truck back so I can't do much right now. This is the first and only 3.2 I have worked on so its going to be a good learning experience. I wish I had another one to go for a road test in so I could compare. Bruce, I am going to double check the thermostat when it comes back. I was leaning towards the engine oil cooler because of the hotline recommendations which I know sometimes don't mean much. Who knows maybe I will find it full of casting sand or something like that. Thanks for the tips I will let you know what I find.

Well I went on a long road test and found at highway speeds ect gets to around 181 F and eot is 203 F. I am going to put an engine oil cooler in first and re test, just have to wait 7 to 10 days for the part to come from the USA

Coolant level is good and I did install a new thermostat. It did hold vacuum when i re filled the cooling system.
