With the chip, I'm in the head gasket camp. Is it an SCT tuner? I had a truck with an SCT on a 6.0 last week and the thing was a fuckin ANIMAL. Have you diagnosed using TSB 08-11-3 and measured the pressure in the cooling system? If you follow the TSB, I bet you'll end up going down the "Replace Head Gaskets" branch of the flowchart.

Heh heh heh...I'm a prick. Lets see how far he takes this one.

Don't think I've ever seen one BROKE, but I stickhandled the last one to a guy down the shop that's really good at swapping 'em out, and has an extra hoist so he can wait for prior approval.

Are you talkin about the 'AUX' button on the stereo head unit? Or are you talking about a jack in the dash? I'm not sure, but I don't think 06's had the jack in the dash like the 08's do. The AUX button on my 08 runs SAT1 SAT2 SAT3, then LINE IN on the display, for the input on the dash. Sorry, I know this isn't much help.

I was told by the hotline, if'n there's metal in the variators, she's junk. Every one I've had apart that's had metal in the pan has had metal in the variators. And a TFT overtemp code set at almost 300 degrees.

If at first it doesn't fit, force it. If it breaks, it needed replacement anyway. I am a master operator of the Variable Rate Swing Press.

Same as a teardown on a CVT when you find the pan full of chrome oil and shrapnel. Let me see, a fuckin valvebody is $1400, and variators are some ungodly amount each. $2600 or some such pricing. Yeah, I'll tear it down

For awhile there, EVERY fuckin 6.4 recall I did, it would need to recover the TCM programming. I was commenting the other day they might as well do away with the ENGINE / PERFORMANCE DIAG section in the SLTS for 6.0 Diesel...every fuckin thing is covered by some applicable TSB/SSM/FSA/CSP/etc. ICPRAKKHlkjhflkjhjkdsafh! Fuck.

I'll take a scan of them, if it becomes available Jim!

I had a claim charged back quite recently. One that comes to mind, anyways. 04 6.0, egr cooler pissing coolant into the exhaust, oil cooler fucked, filling the cooling system with oil. I diag using 08-11-3, slam coolers on it, flush the cooling system using 08-23-1 (i think thats the number). They kick it back, saying I didn't use the correct TSB to diag (supposed to use Oil In Engine Coolant). Got the guy from Warranty on the phone. Asked him. You want me to change the oil cooler, then put it all back together, then bill Ford to change the EGR cooler 'cause it's leaking? Or you just want me to claim both TSB's and get paid twice for a job I only did once? Silence on the other end of the phone. Also had a claim kicked because I billed coolant out on the workorder. They said that the truck should have had coolant in it when it was brought in. Well, had the EGR cooler not failed, I believe that it probably would have had coolant in it! Want me to chase the truck around with a mop and mop up the antifreeze that pisses out the tailpipe? And my last kicker? I changed an ICP in an 05 E series. Documented, PRECISELY what I did. Instead of putting a ZERO for 0V, I had accidentally put a letter "O". They kicked the claim back saying I didn't support my repair. I can't wait to see what happens with the last one I just turned in...04 6.0, Triple Crown package, heads warped all to fuck, and I resealed the HPOP cover while I had the heads/cab off.

Jim - you forgot this part: Quote: Ha! Great news! However this is what your original post said.... "Man there is some crazy shit going on at the Jiffy Lube, just did my 12,000th blow job and got a belly full of !?@#%!, now I am sucking this enormus 2003 "small dick mobile" that will not for the life of me fill up with love juice. I mean this thing has been a dick up my ass for over a year now! (And I like it!) Keep hiring and firing people because they cant complete a blow job as good as me, and I hate paying people to show them how to suck a good dick. To make it worse I went out and got myself stuck in an ass hole, cost me $290 to get sucked off by a hobo, plus I lost an eye, and some fucker shot his load all over my face and stole my virginity! WTF What a goat fucking week!" -- Edited by MERCEDESSHOP ROCKS at 00:13, 2008-03-30 -- Edited by MERCEDESSHOP ROCKS at 00:24, 2008-03-30

Well, if you weren't such a wiener and came down to Windsor every so often, I'm sure that between myself and Don we could get you fixed up with a test IDM. And get loaded, too.

Pretty much all of the head gasket replacements I've heard anything about have been "As Per Hotline". Aside from the heads with the sticky valves, or any other issues, aside from genuine "head gasket" issues. As Per Hotline, as in my signature

We have commercial inspection sheets from ARI fleet for Frito Lay, and Canpar, that makes up their own show. Same with CP rail. I like the CP Rail ones...I did have my own sheets made up some time ago, but I can't remember where they went.

Would have hacked the fuckin' ladder rack off with a sawzall, and turfed it in the back when I was done. Just suits my mood lately.

Pfft....I have permeated the inner sanctum....I am in the V8 cafe...all your deleted posts are in there.... Moved so the general public can't read the truth.

I need a picture of myself stabbing someone in the face with a screwdriver, with a nametag on that says "Hi my name is: Big Angry Hillbilly" to get my point across. Okay, maybe that's a little intense.

View Larger Map Hmm...not too far at all. 54km...maybe should go pay a visit next time I am over in the D getting groceries...

Looks miserable to access turbos and replace/clean unison rings

I only usually wear hearing protection when I'm soldering. There is ONE guy at my shop that wears hearing protection. Also, when shortbus was cutting a diff bracket off a frame with a fucking air hammer - he had no ear protection on, but the guy working beside him did.

What did you take? I've found what's even more useful at the Ford school - is the information that you get from the instructor that isn't directly related to what you're supposed to be learning. (Inside tips, tricks, etc.)

I think the picture I posted up of the 08 with the cab off with ME standing beside it kind of disputes his "these are stolen off the interwebs" thought.

They were bought by Mikronite or some shit like that about a year ago. Shoulda kept it a family affair. Looks like my race motor doesn't get the Crane Pro-Magnum rocker arms after all.....

+1 on this one We have a wrecker that we see from time to time that's doing this..
