Negatory. I'd just go to the SM, and say you best be makin' sure I'm gettin my time covered on this, or you can pound the truck up your ass. If you have a service manager that isn't a complete DICK, you should be able to get your time covered, at LEAST. We bought a truck from you guys today. Grey '10 F-350 Dually 6.4

http://www.powerstroke.org/forum/general-6-7-discussion/121898-new-6-7-work-truck.html It seems Halliburton has some of these trucks as extreme duty tests as work trucks. I am interested to see how they do.

You guys don't have any cans of compression in stock?

I know myself personally, I contact the hotline quite frequently, only for the reason of having documentation to support a repair. "Well -- The hotline pretengineer suggested that as an avenue for repair, so I went that way with it" and I can typically get around any claim denial. My 6.4 is workin' alright -- waiting on getting it into the shop, as you can see from my new "What's In Your Bay" thread...I'm a little behind.

I can't seem to locate the thread, and I'm having some troubles with the search function, and it was like 10 pages, so let's start a new one! Green 350 is charge lamp on, headlamps inop due to aftermarket bullshit rat bastard see ya in hell plow lighting harness, black 08 250 is a frequent regen and three pages of trim concerns, and the 06 King Rancher is a no start, sometimes start, stalling on decel, which I've pinpointed down to not starting at all now, due to a lack of SYNC and FICMSYNC due to an open in circuit 49..... FUCK 12B637 replacement is in my future. Oh well, beat's working on gas engines, and/or being slow. OH and for the inquiring minds that want to know, I have two bays, the ones the black 250 and the King Ranch are in. I overtook the Shop Foreman's bay last night on my night shift and managed to finagle it back together before he got in to work this morning so he could have his stall back.

Pull valves from head with the 'sploded rod, they can look OK even if they ain't. Make sure you put stats in it an evaluate before doing any engine repairs!

Naw, it was a plate glass window, and he was askin' for it.

I am doing a LOT of front covers, but not on 08's. Ripley's believe it or not, but I've never worked on a 6.0 in an 08 E-series. <<knocks on wood>>

getting drunk and heckling the hillbillies at the local watering hole > all

We just had one traded in with the RF suspension yanked out of the subframe. She was a nice piece.

2.71 gears and a gear vendors! Holy CRAP! That thing must be spinning about 200 rpm at 300 mph!! VERY nice rig though! Did anyone see the 'rat rod' lookin deal in Hot Rod with the c***s (dodge motor) that runs 100psi boost? Neat rig.

You sound devastated that you don't have to put a cam in it

Yeah, I saw that the other day. It's also on the ticker that plays while you're on hold with the hotline (Hi Guys! )

Yeah, that's.....different....

Or notice the turbo farting and loss of power

No mods on my truck, I eliminated the tuner awhile back.

That's the same as SSM 21076 on inford.com Numbers are different for US/Can?

I was told to compare my MAF pids on my truck to a known good unit (lot unit) and if mine is not similar, switch it for a new unit. Apparently they have been having some MAF issues causing frequent regenerations. And nobody can give me a cut and dried list of "When this PID is this, it will trigger a regen event" and so forth. Kind of irritating.

Can anyone explain the reasoning behind making the 'cleaning exhaust filter' message go off after four seconds? got some irate customers over this...

I usually quote straight time for something like that, and take my time (NOT FUCK THE DOG), but take my time and make the install as nice and neat as possible, solder everything and make it so if something goes awry down the road or further equipment needs to be added, it's easy to access the wiring and add/remove components as necessary. Just my .02

If I may add to this, Keith: I have been working with the hotline a little on my own truck, for a frequent regeneration concern. I'm at about 27k miles, and I have no soot in my tailpipes, so I think the DPF is okay. This is the info I provided, and this is the info I got back in return. Description of vehicle concern: I have a question regarding the regeneration characteristcs of my vehicle. For the last three days, the vehicle has regenerated each time I have driven it to work (about 23 MILES), and when it has stopped regeneration, it has not said "EXHAUST FILTER DRIVE COMPLETE" on the information center. The regeneration frequency concerns me, as well as the lack of the information message. I am wondering if there is any known concerns regarding frequent regeneration. I realize the temperature change will have some effect on this, however every day regenerating for 15-20 miles is a little excessive and getting a little hard on the wallet. I have no black smoke present and no soot in the tailpipe, leading me to believe the integrity of the DPF is acceptable. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks in advance. Diagnostics performed: No DTCs are present, no aftermarket components, maintenance up to date, any common concerns I have experienced (melted DPF pressure sensor, EGR improperly operating causing excessive wet stacking, excessive idle time) are not present. If the truck idles for longer than 60 seconds, I have the PTO sense enabled to bump the idle off an upfitter switch (running in to get a coffee, etc.). The truck does not see any excessive idle time, a brief warmup in the morning, and cooldown periods after extended high speed or high load driving. DTC Codes: None Parts replaced: None at this time. Tech's question: Please reference the "Description of vehicle concern" portion of this report. Hotline response: Aaron, There have been several reports of abnormal regen on 6.4L equipped units received by the Technical Hotline. Some of these reports reflect actual faults with the vehicles and some are found to be characteristic. With complaints of this nature, especially those in which there are no DTCs or other symptoms, it is important to first try and confirm to the best of your ability that the concern is or is not abnormal. As per TSB 09-18-15, regen frequency can occur every 100-600 miles and can last for 10-40 minutes. To determine whether or not this vehicle's regen frequency is or isn't abnormal, enter IDS Datalogger and check the Dist_Regen_C and Dist_Regen_Req PID values. The Dist_Regen_C PID indicates the amount of vehicle miles accrued since the last regen completed. The Dist_Regen_Req PID indicates the amount of miles driven since the last regen was requested. This information can be used to confirm normal operation. For example, if the Dist_Regen_C shows 300 miles and the Dist_Regen_Req reads 10 miles, this indicates that the last regen completed 300 miles ago, but 10 miles ago, the PCM initiated the next event. This would be considered normal. However, if Dist_Regen_C shows 30 miles, and Dist_Regen_Req shows 10 miles, the regen frequency would be considered abnormal. If the regen frequency is confirmed abnormal, refer to Symptom Chart 15 in Section 3 of the PC/ED for diagnostic steps. If at this point, further assistance is required, it would be best to contact the Technical Hotline by phone to discuss this matter with an engineer. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Additional comments or diagnostic info You have 950 characters remaining for your response... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call Log: Calls to hotline for this vehicle: 11/23/2009 12:29:00 PM - Tech said: Tech is calling in with a customer complaint of frequent regen. The air filter is stock and this seems to be a new issue. The engine will also runs rough at approximately 1000-1200 rpms when using the stationary elevated idle control. No DTC's are noted at this time. 11/23/2009 12:29:00 PM - Hotline recommended: It is recommended to refer to SSM 21076 as a faulty MAF can cause the condition as described. SFT at idle can be monitored to identify an injector that is overfueling. Cylinder contribution tests can be performed as outlined in TSB 08-16-7 as well to help identify issues with cylinder overfueling. Replace faulty MAF, and overfueling injectors as found and retest.

Says in the ad, it's a rollover. Lose the shit wheels and the !?@#%! headlights and i think it would be a sharp lookin' rig.

I also ran the vin. Not so worried about the powertrain, I just think the 08 Excursion look is BAD-ASS. He probably wants about 40 grand for it. LOL I would have to look at that in person before anyone bought it though - the 08 frames are different at the front, so I'd be really interested to see the quality of workmanship and what exactly they changed.

Good design.

Needs spme detail work under the hood though.
