Why don't you tell us how you really feel?

That is what I just installed.

OK. I assumed the 04 with old style pump would have same program...but should have known better I suppose!

The 03 I just did had a desired and actual of 637psi at 24% IPR and Idle. Just a FYI.

But "the guys" on the internet said...

Temp difference 15 or 20 degrees indicates a problem? I'm seeing both...what have they settled on?

Ahhhhhh! OK. I'll add that possibility to my notes. I hate workin with broke folks...! Any idea what temp the standpipe melts at? I may try to get him to install an oil temp gauge so he can see it for himself? I assume 250ish is getting in the danger zone much like a racing engine?

I am correct that Ford wants no more than 25* degree difference, right? Preparing paperwork for future lawsuit...

It's done...or at least as done as it gets for "this money". Test drove. ECT 189F/EOT 231F empty truck flat ground. Bet it will go better than 250 EOT with his 33ft camper. I told him so. He wants the penis extension...once he pays for current repair I will explain what is likely to happen now that it runs right. My prediction: Oil cooler pops and takes EGR cooler with it. Coolant in rear cyl, bends rod. Then he gets all pissy with me...

Ok...after some research 13.3V @ idle/14V @ high idle. So my 13.1 is probably OK. Need to drive it and see what it says. Still concerned about FICM Ref & L powers being @ battery voltage instead of "Alt output voltage"? edit: More research shows 12.5V is normal at FICM.

It finally runs. Customer wouldn't allow me to acquire parts. Not sure why? He purchased: HPOP & cover gasket-NO IPR, Gaskets for Intake, Oil cooler base only, block drain screen, CCV hose, 2 gal antifreeze, turbo mounting kit. I suspect he's "saving" money to do the 4" exhaust and K&N filter. But the fuck-up fairy bit me...leaking at up-pipe to turbo clamp. You can hear is whooooshing as the turbo cycles. I do have some data concerns. Battery voltage PID reads...battery voltage <12.59> when running. At alt only showing 13.1 after about 20 minutes. Tempted to have the alt tested? KAM PID reads FAULT. The battery voltage issue was there before I started removing any parts so not self-inflicted. I noticed on inital inspection FICM readings on scanner all in RED. Autoenginuity data grid has bars which green. yellow, red with actual reading at end of bar. Both "12V" readings were at 12.59. I suspect scanner knows/thinks it should be closer to 14V and that's why bars are RED? Cam/crank sync toggles yes/no while it's running. I assume rust build-up under cam sensor? How do you guys decide what to "fix" on these when you see "30" problems? I told the customer before I started these NEVER have ONE issue...or at least when they won't pull themselves you can bet it's got several issues. At some point the customer feels you are milking the job... I went to local dealerhip today looking for a couple fan stator bolts and they tried to hire me...parts guy took me to the SM. Not sure I want to do this every day again?

PCV Tube assembly?

Shit they said was a joke...my dad was a huge agitator and loved that saying. As for part numbers I kept a list I had laminated. Just gave it to parts guy and let him page me when he was ready.

When I was in the dealership 40-45. We worked 1/2 day every other Sat. Used to turn 45-55 hrs a week. When the 6.0L came along hard it was to get much above 30hrs...

Exactly what I told him. I mentioned something about a grenade with a loose pin...last thing these need is a bunch of mods IMO. Really appreciate all the help.

You da man...I never did believe that shit they said about you...!!! This site and it's members are the best. I always save this stuff for future use. Hopefully I can find a building to rent so I can do more of these. Only problem for me is my back really doesn't like doing this stuff cab-on...old age is a bitch.

Thank you! As I expected it hasn't seen a dealership for quite a while.

2003 F-250 4x4 prod date 01/03 VIN 1FTSW31P03EB99000 6.0L Auto 1. New HPOP 2. HPOP COVER 3. New IPR to CYA. 4. Hot-tank intake manifold. 5. Inspect EGR valve-replace as needed 6. Updated turbo oil drain tube. 7. Updated turbo oil supply tube? 8. New oil cooler 9. Iat 2 <price it's really clogged> already cleaned it but? 10. Gaskets? 11. EGR cooler hose? I don't know what gaskets, hoses, bolts, o-rings, etc come with which kits?

Anyone help me out? 1FTSW31P03EB99000 01/03 f250 4X4

It's all apart. No metal on IPR. Air tested @ branch tube no other leaks! HPOP ball plug intact. Oil cooler drain screen was torn. Branch tube had a very small mark from hitting the cover. Might have even happened when removing cover. So here is my plan: 1. New HPOP 2. HPOP COVER 3. New IPR to CYA. 4. Hot-tank intake manifold. 5. Inspect EGR valve-replace as needed 6. Updated turbo oil drain tube. 7. Updated turbo oil supply tube? 8. New oil cooler 9. Iat 2 <price it's really clogged> already cleaned it but? 10. Gaskets? What else?

That was my understanding also. The round EGR cooler is apparently more durable possibly due to it being less efficent which was the reason for the square "update"? The owner has been talking about bigger exhaust, K&N Filter & eventually a tuner. Logic has no place in the discussion. I've given up. It's his money & truck. Unlike some I don't have a two week back-log of vehicles to work on so have to do what I have to do. Don't nec agree with it or like it but...?

Back in 05 when I left the dealership 30 hr weeks would have been an improvment.

I will remove the oil cooler and inpect the oil drain screen and rec replacment of oil cooler. Couldn't test the oil cooler before tear-down. According to what i've read on the internet the 03 doesn't kick codes with a delete. I don't want to do the delete and think the customer is going to let me decide. Those PCV connections always broke the retainer tabs when I was doing this stuff back when they were new. I hate doing this stuff outside and w/o being able to get the parts myself...I'm used to being more in control of the situation. Didn't work on it today. Hopefully the rain will stay away tomorrow?

Hate to ask here as Jim will freak-out on me...customer wants to do an EGR delete. Any issues with the $130.00 kits on eBay?

Could remove front 4 cab bolts and raise cab a little so i don't have to get primitive?
