the aftermarket version is from whitaker tools. They make one for the 6.0 and another for the 7.3 they are both quite costly. http://whitakertools.com/

Is there any chance this stud is availbale seperately? It's 2 different thread sizes on each end and the hydroboost end is reverse threaded. This one was from a 05 F-550 6.0L. ....and no i didn't break it. It came in for a soft brake pedal

My last claim on that complete I did was kicked back for .1 They didn't think I needed to get paid for running a crankcase pressure test. That was the whole entire concern, excessive crankcase pressure!!!!

Still haven't done one.

consider that design STOLEN! Being the tool junky I am there's no way I'm not making one of those

On the one I did I had to pull the pump cover back off because it didn't feel right when I was tightening it down(turbos are very much in the way of seeing what you're doing). it turns out one of the wiring harnesses under the cover was getting pinched in the process. I did get it seated fine but the whole time I had an uneasy feeling. Cab on(partial lift) pump I might try again, but the turbos are getting yanked

same, a little bit of heat and if necessary hold the nut with a 7/8s socket and gun them out. It's usually not that much trouble to access the nuts inside of the cab. For the front bolts I do heat the nut through the hole and hold it with a bent 7/8s wrench

the cab nuts don't have to be red hot to let the bolts break free. I use a #3 brazing tip on the torches and turn the flame down really low, maybe slightly more than a butane torch.

6.4 with a blown horizontal cooler and #8 is a dead hole....and I'm off tomorrow. yay!

I run motorcraft 5w-40 all year long, 4000 mile oil changes. I think it makes noticable difference especially when it gets cold out. I'm at 87k and 35k has been on synthetic, I've got slight stiction but not enough to cause a miss, just the typical sluggishness from old injectors. I'll be 100% honest, I know we don't go for snake oil around here but I have this in my oil right now. http://www.evergreenamerica.com/index.cf...gine-treatment/ It does make a difference. I would never recommend it to a customer for the obvious liability reasons (not a magic cure all) but it helps the truck significantly before the engine is warmed up.

No repeat leaks but I'll frequently change them just for the hell of it on customer pay jobs. I've had many break at the bracket and a few rub through on the horizontal cooler

Another 6.7 with egr coolers and primary rad...... Really? Really? This is getting interesting again. I'm getting so tired of showing up every day for less than 8hrs pay.

or possibly hydroboost?

Yeah I'm not saying I'd offer it up to anyone that didn't need one but the option is there. I was just wondering because I initially thought it was a ford filter kit. I see it actually uses the same filter the e-series 6.0 uses. I don't fight 6.0 filters anymore either but there are a lot of customers that still do. It's kind of funny. I had a guy watch me do his recently because it took him an hour previously.

Found it. I didn't realize it was a WIX part. #24490 is what I was looking for. I see a few trucks with these and didn't know what was required if a replacement was needed. Figured it was ford because of the obvious association with visteon

No, it's not showing up in the parts catalogs. It's a conversion kit to get rid of the hard to change donaldson style air filters that come stock on a 6.0 F-series and replace them with a gasser style air box. I believe the filter is the same one a V10 uses

Anyone have these numbers available? wasn't there a TSB?

I had one today that kept setting a P1249 KOER but it never set a code in 40 miles of driving. KA passed 3 times. Hotline told me to let it go but I still don't feel right about it. It came in with a P0069 and P0402 plus a few cat over temp codes and soot acculumation codes. Cleared them out and it set a P0402 within a few miles of driving. The first time I ran KA6 the MAP did not change when the wastegate was moved, I watched it physically move its range of travel but no MAP change. I swapped in a MAP from a new vehicle this morning and ran KA again, the MAP shows change now and it's no longer setting P0402 on the roadtest. No idea about the P1249 though. I watched the wastegate move during KOER

Seriously keith I've given up trying to save the plastic pushpins. Atleast 50% of them break so that they can't be used anymore. The wee little ones on the rad piss me off the most but the single worse clip has to be the harness on the rear of the EGR cooler assembly.

another 6.7 with a P0401. That's 3 in a week and a half. All are from the same company and have around 10,000 miles but over a thousand hours of runtime. 2 of the 3 needed radiators too. All 3 had ranch hands on the front.

man if there's a core on these things I'm going to counterfeit boxes and retire on core credit.

6.7 with a P0401

I could care less about turning hours. I'd like to be paid for the time I spend at work which happens to be way more than anyone else in the service department. Several factors throughout the day majorly waste my time, often I can't get anything done until after everyone else is gone. We never have parts either. I keep showing up because trucks keep rolling into my bay. We are growing but the work is not steady, they're usually not waiting outside because we can't get to them, it's day by day. That bothers me because when i'm not tied up it leaves me to do crap I don't care for....namely trans work. We have another good tech that used to do diesels but I'm not letting him have any. If he wants diesel and all the gravy he can work by himself. I think that's pretty clear.
