i was also wondering about pulling the motor mounts to make things easier. anyone tried it? ive always pulled the cab, but my lift comes out of the floor and the spare twin post lift went to the new guy we just hired so il have to start doing them in cab, only done one this way, only thing i didnt like was tourqing them.

yeah i know it had to get 350. but im just thinking that if the egr cooler didnt blow that there may not be much damage. i have a used engine with one cracked head leaking fuel into the coolant and can get another head for it, i just want to try a quick fix first and see what happens. stil thinking about what to do havent taken it appart yet.

do you guys ever get any claims kicked for the smallest thing or have ford say we arent paying for this part and this labor because thats usually not needed for this repair?

I got a 03 with a melted stand pipe. Just wondering what some of you guys have found when this happens. we have had a few here, but didnt tear into the engine just put a long block in. this one doesnt look to be as bad as the few ive seen, egr cooler isnt blown, but the radiator is leaking trans fluid in the coolant, not sure if its related to it over heating or not. so ive heard of piston jets getting plastic in them, anything else i should look for when i tear into it. planning on putting an oil cooler and egr cooler on, checking the hp system out and dropping the pan to clean and make sure the piston jets are flowing free. then putting it back together and hoping the heads are ok! has good relative compression and sounds good cranking. injectors buzzing good also, il probly oring them while appart. its a truck i bought to fix up so thats why im not sticking an engine in from the get go. So just wondering if theres anything else i should look for while appart. thanks

i have also seen them missing before with no problems. i also lost one and it was late parts counter closed so i kept rolling on the job hate to do that kind of stuff but it cant hurt much. thats why they put 5 bolts there it really only needs 2 or 3 so they put 5 incase you loose them or break them right haha

also pensocoladiesel.com has them seems to be the cheapest price i found, got prices on everything they have

you should be able to just use the complete for the later ones right?

my foreman and managers look like theyre about to have a heart attack everytime we tell them we got an engine to do.
