im sure everyone will disagree with me here but i have done one and 2 other guys have each done one by removing the flange with no problems and happy customers

no i havent, i dont have any pullers like that. i guess that would be nice but usually the valve and stem breaks off and stays down there too so couldnt really get a bite with a puller. i just break one side of the valve and it usually come right out then. i would say ive done about 10 and showed the other 6 diesel guys i work with the way i do it and so far havent had any problems with it.

lcf warranties are 3 year unlimited milage arent they?

i heard of someone doing it with a pressure washer, i would maybe do it with a hose thinking the pressure washer could damage it maybe. anyone else tried that?

just bust it up with an air hammer, just be careful not to damage the housing or get aluminum peices in the intake

im starting to think most of the prior approval is done by a automated response or a robot. i can write a book explaing whats wrong and what i did to diag it with every peice of info posible and they will come up with some odd ball question. or i can write the bare minimum and get an approval right away. but its allot better than when we had to do the "real time diagnostics" and talk to some weirdo on the phone after waiting on hold for a half hour each time. but we have started seeing allot more trucks out of warranty now. 6 months ago i didnt even remember how to do a customer pay job, i was so use to diaging and fixing it right away i almost forgot about writing up an estimate and waiting for an approval.

wont build any pressure without sync and no synce is why it wont do a rel compreassion so i would start there

it says nothing about it in the pced or pin point test, but if ebp is out of range it can throw this code.

i had one that had a damaged turbine wheel, the peices that came off the turbine wheel bent the tips of the veins over just a little so that when the veins were completley closed there was no space at all between them. do the egr air managment test, if at any time during the koer part of the test the ebp goes higher than spec that probly your problem.

i was told the reason some have programs and some dont is because they are all remans now. and depending on what part is replaced and what original part is stil in the reman ficm it will have a program on it.

i have heard a few good things. but to be honest ive never had problems with ford gaskets especially after doing studs. i had factory gaskets and studs on mine running 50 psi and they were fine.

Im just trying to save a few bucks. just asking if anyone knows of any other places to get them.

Anyone know a place to get replacement dually fenders? my price on them from work is about 550. I need some for my 03. I found metal ones on ebay, lmc trucks has fiber glass ones, and i have found a few places on the net that sell them but they arent direct replacement and other people have said they had to trim them and drill holes in the bed to bolt them on. Or does anyone have some they want to sell haha?

dont wipe it with a rag!!! the fibers will clog the screen too. never wipe anything inside and engine with a rag.

I have had hairline cracks on the inside causing them to leak before, probly over tightened
