Seriously. This is a welded diff? Must be a Rex Repair. Oh. My. Lord. http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=763645

I agree with ya - if you do something enough times, you do get pretty quick at it. I'm beginning to get pretty good at those 6.4 radiators...

You can beat the times on that recall, no problem. Translate "Install Injector" to "Throw injectors on the front seat and return it to the service line". That's how you do 6.4 injectors in that little amount of time. I LOVE the "don't change the valve cover gasket" and "don't change the oil filler deal gasket". Classy. Never gonna leak oil, ever. I actually need a #5 injector in my truck, fuel trims are all fucked up - as per hotline replace injector and retest. I am gonna change the valve cover gasket.

Comparing this SELLC guy to an actual technician is kinda like the comparison of a paint mixer to an epileptic retard. Both can mix paint, but only one was designed to. (Not tryin' to piss anyone off with the retard comment - hope I didn't ruffle any feathers)

That, or just set the parts on the seat and say they're installed. Same way guys do head gaskets in 8.0 on a 6.0

Yah, and the first thing you have to do on a fresh motor in a van is crack the oil pan off. NIIIICE....LOL

Me? Or the dude that works in the bay behind you

That's what I did on the last one.

Cab off, and the RH head won't go on the studs if you're putting it on with the manifold on. The manifold hits the spring tower on 05 and up, and hits the shock tower on 05 and earlier.

Busier than a sumbitch over here. (Truck shop, anyhow....)

We had a hotline engineer ask is how deep the scratching was, wanted to know if we could hone it. #2 piston EXPLODED. Yeah, we'll hone that fucker right out.

It's funny cause it's true. I think I've only ever worked on one regular E-van for something like this...most of em, like he said, are bastardized pieces of shit.

Maybe we should sublet all these types of repair to our ol' pal Rex. Edit: genius member...eh? Maybe I should tell our ol' pal I'm a Genius, too.

Wow, those dummy plugs don't look at all familiar Looks like there was a little guy in there chewin' on 'em.

I'm the Big Angry Hillbilly.

What's a YMMV, Jim?

I think I'm gonna go stretch my legs in their LT1/LT4 room

Ahhh jeez....they deleted it.

We need someone that has an account over there to rebut the statement made by TRUFRIEND...

We haven't had any issue with it. When we first ordered it it was backorder, but since then it's been pretty straight goin to get it.

You don't have to run the engine at WOT for fuel pressure anymore, as long as you have the updated fuel pressure tester. I would bet that you lost the injector due to the low fuel pressure caused by the failing pump. I'm in the fuel pump camp on this one, too.

Just counting my lucky stars that we don't have to do 'lay on the engine' repairs on a 6.4 yet. I was climbing out of the engine compartment on 08 SD, and slipped, caught my head on the grille, busted the grille, sliced my head open, then bruised my tailbone/ass/back when i hit the floor. I too, sometimes find the damn thing too high and find myself ducking around shit that's in the road. you can sort of see our sweet ass topside creeper in this pic. I love how on a 4x4, i get my big ass up on that thing, and the thing is into the rad/stator/shroud, big time.

Haul the IPR out of the HPOP cover. The end of the screen will likely be blown out, or broken right off. I like listening right at the turbo drain tube to determine if the STC fitting is leaking, after the IPR has been changed. The dummy plugs in the oil rails are kinda hard to hear leaks at, I like to yank the rocker covers off and if you hear it leaking bad near the first injector, wheel the dummy plug outta there and inspect the D-rings on the dummy plugs. I just had one of these bite me in the ass a couple weeks ago.

"...that can't be good...." As we wheel up to a stop light and steam comes rolling out of the left top corner of the hood. The degas bottle was all puffy when we got back from the RT
