  1. 6.4 noise

    I wouldn't pull the cab if it's inlet pipes. Removing the trans. is all that is necessary. I'm doing a high pressure fuel pump and a set of injectors right now with the cab on. Not nearly as bad as rumor has it.
  2. Ford Announces 200,000 Mile Warranty

    Wait... I've got two apart right now... one is full of gasoline, so that's not a problem you can blame on the engine... but it's still costing the customer $10K... and that sorry part is that it was his FIRST fill up...and I've got one with a leaking flex pipe... memories of 6.0?
  3. Ford Announces 200,000 Mile Warranty

    I believe that classifies as "emergency"... however, I thought in the past that NO vehicles being used commercially were allowed ESP...
  4. Cab Off Repairs

    Personally, I find cab removal a total waste of time... but it can be done, keeping in mind the cabs are substantially heavier than pick-up cabs, and require removal of seats and carpet to gain access to the bolts.
  5. PCM Rev Limiter

    I know for certain that OBDII Rangers only had rev. limiters with automatic transmissions. I'm relatively certain the same holds true for 1994.
  6. Fuel in Oil

    Hopefully that works for you. I don't think that Ford will do anything based on an oil analysis alone.
  7. EGR Question...

    I'd say a hydrometer is only good for removing extra coolant from the bottle... a refractometer is the best way to check coolant out, along with PH testing. Also, anytime that coolant has vented THROUGH the degas bottle cap, it needs to be replaced... so your cap may be toast if it has vented...
  8. 6.0 ac clutches and serpentine belt question

    The secondary alternator would run of another drive belt, not off the main accessory drive. I imagine that with some type of custom belt tensioner you may be able to do it. What you might want to do is look into a mounting bracket that a body outfitter may use to mount a hydraulic pump. They...
  9. 6.0 ac clutches and serpentine belt question

    They come in 4,5,6,7 and 8 groove pulleys. Your 6.0 is an 8. They cost about 200 bucks for a complete reman. field, disc and pulley.
  10. valve covers on 6.4s

    I was reading a broadcast message today that said they are revising the procedure for removing the right rocker cover, so as to not break the heater hose.
  11. Why...

    Keep in mind, this is the first and only time I've seen it on a 6.0. It has 180,000 km and has not been maintained very well.
  12. Why...

    That's it! I guess I asked as a reminder to those who do not find it necessary, as I have a 6.0 in the shop right now with holes in one cylinder...
  13. Why...

    [confused] Why do diesel engines require coolant additives?[confused]
  14. "Allready sold this one!"

    Sorry to hear that. Where I come from, I get the final say in situations like that... Ever since I told them that is the way it is going to be if they want me to continue working there...
  15. What is it?

    Yeah, I recognize the TFI wrench...
