Really? We're selling the remans for about 1500 bucks.

Two questions... 1) What is the TSB #? 2) When did this problem start occuring? The first time we started seeing this problem at my dealership was shortly after the FEDERAL government mandated the switch to ULSD fuel. Is this coincidence? I've never seen a repeat repair on a fuel tank, even when the problem first started.

Guess we won't need them to elaborate...they were just missing the glow plugs....glow plug installer must've been out sick for a few weeks

Well, Got mine done, haven't seen it back, it's been gone a couple weeks now. Camshaft, all lifters, pushrods, high pressure oil pump, front cover/gerotor pump, oil cooler, egr cooler(since we were there), completely re-sealed this engine.

Thin is right, I once overdid it and had to get another set of seals as they poked out a good 1/2 inch at front and rear when I torqued it. Put a new set in with 'thin' coating and no problem. Done this many times, and once you've torqued it, wipe the excess at the front and rear so that it doesn't mix with the silicone. Haven't seen any problems after doing this.

Yes the ctrl-K function works for ours. I hope they get it upgraded for you soon!

85 on some, 95 on others is the standard setting, i think the 250/350's are 95mph, and the 450/550's are 85mph, IIRC, but it could be based on final drive ratio and some of the 350's may be 85mph....

Rocker arm pivot where it rides on the valve bridges is what it looks like to me. (you know, the ones that always go to pot on the 6.4's) Am I close?

Correct, The injector flow rates are programmed into the PCM, I have seen trucks run for several thousand miles after injector replacement without having the new flow rates programmed into the PCM, and without any notable issues.

run 2 jumper wires as a temporary overlay on the cam sensor circuit to see if it corrects the condition. I haven't had one act exactly as you describe, but I've quickly diagnosed many bad harnesses with damaged cmp wiring using this method.

Yeah, I suppose you've got more rust back in your parts than I have to deal with when it comes to pulling 4x4's down. I know when I was in Wyoming I almost never saw a 2wd, but out here in California half of them are, so I get to play with them all the time.

No Keith, the 2wd's have a spindle with packable wheel bearings , not nearly as easy as the 4wd's, you actually have to take apart the bearings to remove the rotor

Been there before, Swap the rear engine cover and you'll be good to go! And like Mike said, you'll need to replace the rear main, and should re-seal the hpop. I might also recommend to the customer resealing the rest of the used engine while it is out of the chassis

Have fun with that Keith! The Cummins Virtual College is fun....envision taking all your Ford Web based classes again Oh, I'm doing it right now so that we have two Cummins certified guys (our shop foreman, and me) Oh, and by the way, Cummins warranty doesn't pay anything!! You thought Ford was getting bad?!

Yep, We have a Chevy dealer that use to be a MD dealer, now we get all their MD business since the MD Chevy's are actually Isuzu's and we're an Isuzu dealer

You will have 'combustion' in the cooling system with a blown egr cooler, you need to do a vacuum test to see if the coolers are holding vacuum. And per hotline "vertical coolers NEVER leak...." (bold/italics added)

The PTS site is a bit slow, but then so is my computer That being said, I've heard a lot of complaints from a couple of guys I work with....I say get over it and learn how to adapt! You complaining isn't going to make change their minds on how they've re-developed the site. And honestly, I think it's a bit easier to use, after the initial 'where did the put everything' phase.

Got an 06 in the bay right now with low oil pressure, Our neighboring Chevy dealer just sold, 84k Mile on the odometer. No low oil pressure, found damage to the low pressure pump due to a lifter needle bearing having gone through it. Engines coming out now to get an overhaul - new camshaft and lifters....we offered to put a short or longblock in it, but the other dealership didn't want to put the extra $3k-$5k into it. They requested that we just replace the damaged parts. Fine by me, it pays more hours that way

You are aloud to service ANYTHING your customer is willing to pay you to service! Now when it comes to warranty work, your statement would be correct.

Very nice find!!

They will interchange no problem, you'll just never be able to do a half shell on a 7 screw as they only make the half shell for the 4 screw.

I love it!! Very nice
