I have a 2015 that came in for a check engine light on with code p012f also the exhaust filter is 95% full. The pinpoint test leads to no fault found and I think they may have left the truck running with the block heater plugged in but when I road test and monitor the ect and eot I find ect is not stable. When it is hot ect gets up to around 180 ish and then when you come to a stop it drops to 160 ish with eot still at 190 ish. I don't have another truck to compare and I am wondering if this is normal, it kind of feels like I might have a restriction in the cooling system but maybe not because it still makes good heat. What do you think, is this normal?

Nice find man!

I guess you would see it more with the chassis cabs because the reductant injector is at the end of the conga line, Pick ups might hide this in the dpf.

Does it seem to be just on pick ups or cab and chassie's or both?

The same thing happens to the 3.5 ecoboost, agreed why would they still run three small wires loosely in that harness.

It always works that way when you buy a tool for a specific job. I bought one of those fancy injector cup tools almost 8 years ago and I have only used it three times

Well the one I was working on only made 110 psi after I installed the long block , pinpoint test m leads to replace the high pressure pump. No debris in the system so put one in and now it starts and runs good. I am disappointed with the hot line, they had nothing to say and always talk to me like this is the first truck I have every worked on.

Have you checked fuel pressure at the cylinder heads, maybe the left side is running out of fuel. Had one where the black o-ring was blocking fuel flow to the back of the cylinder head.

Wow, why is the 6.7 getting cylinder heads?

Is this a common problem with engine failures. Does the high pump get damaged when the engine locks up.

I just heard about this the other day. Why would they risk doing something like this, just does not make sense.

Got to love new technology, I lean towards the iphone as well.

Customer came down and had a look, he called them up and told them about what I had seen so far. He still wants me to put then engine in and the engine builder told me just to clean and swap bolts over from the old engine.

Forgot to note this is not a ford reman, its is from some place called engientech machining in edmonton alberta. Anyone from alberta know anything about this company? I have already told my higher ups that this does not look good and apparently I don't have a choice, it has to go in.

I get to put this well built reman 6.7 that the customer supplied us. So far I have found missing intake bolts, missing plug for the oil pick up and they used black silicone instead of the metal gasket for the intake manifold. That's why the bolts are missing in the intake, because the holes are full of silicone so the builder decided not to put them in.

Good luck and all the best, more and more I am seeing that flat rate jobs are not the best for family life.

I am with Gary, check for air leaking into the low side.

I have had the newer style pumps fail that way too, one brand new reman as well. One tip I can give is install a new oil pressure sending unit, if you test using nitrogen at high pressures it will damage the sending unit and cause it to leak after.

Got 2012 that was a no start with low icp when cranking. Vcv was stuck so i removed it to inspect and this is what I found.

I emailed them and they told me not everyone has access to the beta version only certain people, so I guess we wait then.

I just saw they have a PTS app for your phone or tablet now. I went to the link but it kicks me out. Has anyone got this to work yet ?

That's cool man!

Cooler will not fix it but still probably needs a core , power brake at wot and check for black smoke out the tail pipe. If it blows black you will need and scr/dpf.

The one I had was a 2004 with icp sensor in the rail, came in for the oil pressure light on. Removed the high pressure oil pump and found the ball missing. Put a reman pump in and it was good after that. My oil pressure was low too when I first checked it, I think it only takes 8psi to put the needle in the middle of the oil pressure gauge.

When I worked next to the trans guy he did the tsb for a noise at idle on an 2006 cvt and it did not fix it, he called the hotline and they got him to look at the flat roller bearings. Sorry this information might be a bit vague but what I can remember from this is that a six dollar bearing fixed his transmission noise.
