I take them out all the time. They run perfectly fine without them, any codes it sets are non MIL codes.

I do the same.  Remove plate, I haven't had any come back on me yet.

As of 5pm today I am the only tech in my dealership with any Ford certs. 

That ought to make you more valuable shouldn’t it???

I I'm working on an 06 F350 ambulance. I have a short on fuse f 24 which goes to the blower motor resistor and also to the low and high pressure switches on the AC. And the wiring that goes to the low pressure switch there were broken wires which had two barrel-shaped looking black devices I suppose or some kind of resistors. Can someone please tell me what these are and is there any type of wiring diagram of ailable for this type of application

Those barrel shaped things are probably diodes.  The box upfitters bring a/c clutch signal from the box to turn on the clutch whether the head unit requests a/c or not.  I have seen those diodes go bad before.

Besides the ford pressure tester tool, what does everyone use to check fuel pressure on a 6.0?  

Changed shops and need to get one.  I havent used anything but the Ford tool.  

I had one on a 6.0 E van once that was blowed out.

Wow, I'm glad I got out when I did.  I just love wasting my time on that prior approval bs. 

Is there a way to tell the difference between a 15 and 17 degree pump on the outside other than output line fittings?  Got a truck superduty that has an obs engine with AA's in it need to know if I can id the HPOP before I quote a set of AD's for it.

I've put hygard in a torqshift and not had issues with it.

How many miles you got on that unit now?  Thinking about trying it in my 4R100, it's got 300,000 mi on it i'm gonna pull it apart come summer anyways.

I would say maybe a chassis cab that doesn't get worked hard enough to get the exhaust hot might do that as well.  

I'd like to have one of those, but here you buy your own laptop.  So until I win the lottery I'll use this asus.

14psi is not enough oil pressure to keep the VCT system happy. 15 psi is min book spec.  Good ones i've seen will have 30 @ hot idle.   I call that 5.4 death rattle.  It's engine time.  

The P0611 will set with an aftermarket 58v FICM. The highest IDS will read is 54.5v but manually checking voltage will confirm what it's actually putting out.I run a hot FICM in my truck, no issues in several years of having it.This pics a few years old, I've long since ran over that voltmeter

I'll second that, my Excursion has a 58V FICM on it and has the perpetual p0611.

I vote no.

Last 8.8 clutch pack I did was that way.  Had carbon fiber clutches also.

Have they kept up with the PH level of the coolant though?  How many miles on the unit?  Just thinking out loud here.

I have a HPO leak from the "old" dummy plug on the right side oil rail. parts gave me a kit that contains 2 stand pipes, 2 dummy plugs, the green PCV o-ring and 6mm Allen plug (not sure what its for).

 

I searched oasis for a tsb and didn't find anything

 

was this an old TSB? just wondering why they are all sold as a kit?

Whats the entire PN for the kit?  Never mind Found it.....

Improperly maintained coolant?

850 foot pounds of torque and a heavy right foot on pavement could cause that.

I watched a guy hang 4 count em 4 complete turbos on a 6.0 truck for a P0299.CAC tank had blown off. Lmfao.

At what point would it take for management to say WTF?  That's bad.  I'll be the first to admit i've mis-diagnosed some stuff but some people don't need to be working on diesels.

Just to let everyone know, I had one of these this week that the tsb would not bring the truck out of idle only mode.  Talked back and forth with hotline and Ordered a PCM this afternoon.  Truck has 275 miles on it.  Customer was bringing it home from the upfitter after having a service bed installed.  G400 was moved to an incorrect location.

I use 1/8" pipe tap and epoxy them in.

Two door auto in this one. Bench seat.Coyote and 6R80 on the floor ready to install.

That sounds like a good time! 

Good job Keith.  I don't feel right about congratulating you considering you've been doing this for probably as long as I've been alive

Same here. 

Congrats!

I'm trying to find a PCM for a 2000 Excursion, 7.3. Not available from Ford, or through the auto wreckers on the Canadian hotline they use.Tag number is YC3F AVAAny help would be great !

What is wrong with original unit?  I've had a couple fixed at SIA electronics.  http://www.siaelec.com/

I've put hygard in a torqshift and not had issues with it.

Hy-gard is John Deere's trans/hydraulic fluid correct?
