Replacing clutch master, and slave cyl. on '99 7.3 superduty. Can't seem to get it to bleed enough to fully release the clutch. Using aftermarket parts. DOT 3 fluid. Any ideas ?

You got it buddy, see you soon. Hope all is well.

Clyde, can I give u shout on the cell? or should I just drop by. be great to see ya again!

OMG Brad! That is brutal! lets hope that isnt common. I did notice what looked like dried coolant on the one end of the horizontal cooler. I also used the combustion gas analizer and it did change colour. replacing it today. Hey Jeff, I was getting calls for about 3 months, everyother day. then I just stopped returning their calls. Guess who's truck this is ...Stephane Michaud. subletted up to me to fix because they don't have the time or the techs! HA, HA!

Alex. thanks. Was suspecting horizontal cooler, but wanted some input. Thanks! what about the dtcs? coolant washed?

hey guys, I have a2010 f350 cust says it is using coolant and once in a while he sees a puf of white smoke from tailpipe. unit has 2 dtcs. p2080, and p20e2. was wondering if u had any quick ways to verify coolers like we use on 6.0s. thanks. Ps.. drove unit. no smoke. dpfeload pid shows part load.

Well we found out that the chain tensioner was weak causing the missfire. Hot line helped out on this one also,thanks guys

Thanks guys, we are pulling the front cover in the morning and checking the marks. I will keep you posted and let you know the results.

dtcs for all left bank cylinders misfire. fuel injector leak test passed , but the relitive comp. test showed that cylinder #6 and #8 were 6, and 8 percent. lngtrm fuel trim was -13% on left bank and +4 on the right bank. This is a 2004 modle. with 120km. coils have been swapped back and forth with no change. Ford had us verify base engine timming.ok. Also, the head has been replaced 2 times.as per Ford. This idles like a piece of crap, but it cruises and has lots of power. only has miss at idle.

Hey guys! have a head scratcher here. Aviator that has an engine miss on the left bank only. hotline had us replace head and retest. same result. then hotline sednt field engineer and hye said to replace head again. still same hotline suspeted excesive backpress. tetted with gauge. ok coils ok plugs ok relitive comp weak in 6 and 8. any ideas?

Bruce,got cought watching ICP press. one of the other tech.s here caught the voltage signal and thats what lead to the repair. Thanks for the info.(which I have printed off and stuck in my tool box.)Hope you don't mind.

Guys, thanks for all the suggestions and tips. Found out it was the ICP sensor plug was screwed up. replaced sensor connector and retested ok. why did hotline not point me in this direction? I get better results when I contact technicians!!

help guys. got a good one here. o4 f250 putting out 3-5lbs of boost. smoke tested air system and exhust with 20 psi of shop air and found nothing. dropped exhust and drove unit with no change. fuel press. at 55psi all time.hotline said to hange out turbo and MAF and MAP from good truck, no better. Then thy advised me to swap out the PCM. no better. While monitoring PIDs VGTLRN is no. Turbo will not learn. swapped out air filter and fuel filters. total dog of the line. can rev. unit without problems but under load it's horrible. Any ideas?

Our shop is hourly.

Thanks guys! That will take care of everything. Dwayne, thats a great tip about the snorkle and I'm going to use it because these units are retail.Thanks
