Apparently inept techs are capable of putting 2.7 turbo gasket in backwards. This was on the truck I had another dealer just put heads on under 1k miles ago.

Definitely check track bar joint and bushing. Have some one rock the steering while u watch. Aftermarket rims tires? Tires worn out?

I have replaced several. I also put t case input seal in at same time. I have always used the seal installer but being at dealer I have available to me. On the first one I did I broke the spanner socket pins right off. I didn't heat the nut first. That nut is tight and loaded with loctite. (I think Ford has stock in loctite as much as they use) I am pretty sure your seal kit comes with new nut. If not I recommend replacing them together.

We have to pay 15 percent over cost for parts. I have a couple coworkers who do a lot of side work so management raised from 10 to 15

I have a 2.7 here another dealer put heads on under 1500 miles ago. It's out of time oil all over pulled valve covers and front cover found the outer crank gear loose on Frank. Pulled off and a gear has obviously spun on it before contacted hotline found out other dealer had fucked up timing and were told to replace engine. Obviously they didn't. Fse calls this morning said fix it properly and run through as warranty they will take care of charging them back. He also told me he had been involved with it when it was there. Found the oil leak to be from a cracked valve cover. Has many broken connectors. Some of the poorest workmanship I have ever seen. Truck has 6200 miles on it. I feel bad for customer been in shop more days then he has had.

Couple pictures of check valve stuck in oil rail.

I don't have# but it's on certain build 08. I had replaced and this is a 09. Doesn't include pickups due to they got pile of crap 6.4s

A couple more pictures of the broken parts

I was not sure that the icp was really fluctuating like ids showed. I had done the alt ripple test on both alt and they passed. I still had the feeling could possibly be picking up voltage and not really icp fluctuating. I used the old 7.3 icp sensor test harness (D94T-50-A) this allowed me to see icp voltage live from the sgm and watch pid at same time. As you see this helped me prove icp was actually acting up and I needed to go back under valve covers. On the signal generator monitor you can put a set voltage in or you can just monitor. I used the monitor feature and watched the icp voltage and icp from pcm. I had used the sgm to load test wires before and thought why not try. I think the data rate of sgm is different then pcm.

Yes, I had replaced the stand pipes and dummy plugs when I replaced the injectors.

I have replaced several lately also

Well after a long time and a lot of head scratching I got this one figured out. It got worse and they finally decided they wanted it looked into more. I used signal generator on ids to watch actual icp and pcm interpretation. pulled rh valve cover. New check valve is broken. Not so new anymore I think it's been 2 years since I had put in.

I thought this fsa was only for in stock units. Am I wrong?

Replace the tensioner.

On this truck I connected the ms can wires together and heat shrunk them. They are going to put the harness in on the rest of the trucks they are doing.

Harness showed up. It appears to be a cab and chassis harness.

I jumped the pins for ms can and everything works.

I haven't gotten jumper harness yet but it looks like I could pull pins out of c408 and connect the wires. When not equipped with blis the box harness just loops the ms can wires.

BLIS is available on super duties now

ssm 46329 I am having trouble getting it copied and posted.

I got this truck end of the day Friday Windows inoperable climate control inoperable plus some more issues. I ordered harness per ssm. Has anyone done? does it take care of it?

I put motorcraft struts and shocks in my Taurus x at 120k. When we bought explorer last year we gave the Taurus x to my mother-in-law. I replaced a rear wheel speed sensor and spark plugs last week for her. It now has 198k on it and drives really good yet.

If you haven't seen deoxit before

The other thing to try is taking all connectors apart and cleaning with deoxit contact cleaner spray. All connectors in suspect circuit that is

Check near the parking brake pedal. I have found chaffing there. Especially since it probably needs parking brake set to run pto
