  1. Two fun ones in a row,

    2005 F-150 no start another shop installed a fuel Pump relay mod, They forgot to snap the connector on the module. Guy made it far enough to get a tow truck to pull it here.

    2016 6.7 guy had another shop install a triton oversized fuel tank. He made it far enough to get towed here as a no start. Fuel line at top of tank off was not snapped or locked on tank fittings.

     

    Another good on 6.4 Doing a high pressure pump. Looked inside one lifter lobe on cam almost gone. Roller on tip of lifter gone. Turns out guy just bought it. He was telling us how he could not believe he bought this 6.4 with 200,000 miles cheaper than a 6.0. I think he knows now why that is.

  2. In the same week we get this,

     

    There is something wrong with my truck it doesn't smoke black when I floor it.

    (It's a  6.7 just bought, had a 7.3 with a programmer etc.previously)

     

    There is something wrong with my truck it has a little puff of black smoke when I floor it.

    (It's a 6.0 with 200,000 )

  3. It does seem to be the default response from hotline on every 3.5 that has any drive ability concern. The last one I had was a no power only code p0016. The other ones had only check engine lights, drove fine.  One had p0016 along with some vct codes. All fixed with new primary chain.  

  4. Aparise72 Nice find on your concern!

    To answer your question on timing.

    Remember these engines use the length of the chain to determine timing. Anything that affects that like a broken guide will change timing slightly. Those pictures in the shop man. of mark location are very subjective. Unlike an engine that has marks on the head or block.

     

    Tyler Thanks for the Pictures!!

  5. It might be in a good idea to look ahead in the prior approval process to find out what pictures they want.

    The last 6.7 required none, (but that one had a huge hole in the pan and rods missing)

    The last 5.0 they wanted three pictures not very specific seemed more like they want to see that it was actually torn down.

    One pic required was of the oil filter.
