I hated the oil in in the intake even more than the EGR system, rerouting the CCV system is one of the first modifications I did on my truck.I absolutely agree that if you have a bone stock truck, have kept it in good running order and want to do no modifications whatsoever to the vehicle then...
All soot is unnecessary..... When should you EVER have soot in an intake?As to your question... I don't have a number, unquestionably there have been failures resulting from end user "adjustments".The question still why keep the EGR system, I'm not talking about unplugging the valve, I'm...
Other than introducing unnecessary soot and contamination into the intake and oil and providing another failure point where coolant can leak directly into the engine (which under the right circumstances could result in serious engine damage).Additionally, it provides no benefit either.
Once again, I am not disagreeing with your premise that EGR failures are symptoms not causes but I think you're missing the point of deleting it.1) If your argument is that everything is best kept stock then the original premise of the challenge is worthless, deleting the EGR is certainly not...
I'm not arguing with you, but you missed the point of my question, if there is not EGR problem, I just want to keep unnecessary soot out of my intake and oil how do I do it with deleting the EGR system?Which leads into my next question, what purpose does the EGR serve other than NOx reduction...
OK... How do I keep all the soot out of my intake manifold and engine oil with the EGR in place?As I said, when I started running fuel conditioner my EGR problems went away, however running in a tuned condition with EGR off resulted in consistently higher fuel economy than with it turned on...
Well, in stock trim my EGR had serious coking issues until I started to run fuel additive religiously. After that I had no EGR problems. Later I had it turned off with tuning. When I checked the cooler during disassembly the cooler was still in perfect shape and the valve itself was not...
Well I've seen some crazy stuff done, I saw one guy put an 8V92 into a 1 ton chevy, he had to mount it out back though LOL.Realistically you could probably do a 6V53, IIRC it weighs somewhere in the neighborhood of 1500lbs. I don't think you want to go too much heavier than that. You can even...
I've got 126000 miles on my X.It's getting a major heart transplant next year but it's been pretty well trouble free except for a couple of EGR valves, 4 injectors, FICM harness, and a couple of other minor issues. Currently the HGs are shot but I'm living with the puking until the new engine...
Part of this argument also has to do with what you're doing with you're truck. If you're constantly pulling a 15000# trailer in Arizona heat I'd say don't even think about it, the stock fan draws something like 12000 CFM when it's on. However if your truck is usually empty and you're just...
I know with the Ford dealer I dealt with, when they started pulling cabs on the 6.0s their time for head gasket jobs and complete engine r&rs went down dramatically. I think the engine r&rs went from 20 hours to 14-16 depending on the truck. So are there gains to be had... Absolutely. In regards...
Cab off is definitely a turn on. The ease of service at that point makes it all worthwhile. The number of times I've been underneath the hood of my X wishing the body wasn't there and cursing FMC for designing something that is such a PITA to work on makes me think that they listened on the 08s...
Great pics vince, looks like the cab lift went pretty smoothly; sure looks like it reduces the amount of skin you leave on a truck when doing any engine service. :beer:
Come on guys, Todd is really well aware of how dead ass slow his truck is, but he's getting better, he almost beat an Amish guy in his last drag... he was only half a cart short in the 1/8th....But I heard the Amish guy was juicing his horse which really wasn't fair :rofl:
I remember hearing of similar problems on the 6.0... IIRC cracked y-pipes were an issue. Are you thinking a similar problem exists in the 6.4 or do you think it's something more serious?
When I was working on the 3516s they were dialed in at about 2400hp; I see they've derated the current versions of the 793s. When I was leaving they were just introducing the 797s which were running about 3400hp at that time (3524s in them). You'd have a big chain 6.0s to make that engine LOL...
Sorry I'm a little behind on this thread...... When I was up north we had a Cat 3516 completely self destruct. The truck was doing about 45 mph down a haul ramp when the speed sensor on the transmission got wiped out. Cat had failed to put any logic in the TCM for such a condition.... Needless...
It will be a monster I can live with BdayBigGrinThe bottom end is as solid as I think it can be short of a billet crank... It should easily make the lifetime goal (I hope ;) )I can hardly wait until it's on the road (only 6 months or so) :nana:Oh I forgot to mention that the block is...
I just figured would post the pics of my current accumulation of parts.... well, actually Matt's current accumulation of parts :rofl:) My Hypermax rods and the collection of FMC stuff LOL
Doesn't really look that bad from the outside, some JB weld and some black paint you'll be 100% :rofl2: :prod:I wanna see the inside and what's left of the crank, bearings and rods... :wavey:It looks as if the damage is mostly to the bedplate, the block may still be salvageable.
That wouldn't bother me so much if he didn't try to come off as a lubrication engineer; and when you call him on his :bs: he get's all uppity and acts like you're the idiot who doesn't know what you're talking about. [confused]It's almost enough to drive me to drink.... :spank:
I didn't know exactly where to post this but I figure this is as good a place as any other.It was time for the 120000 mile service on the truck... I did everything but the transmission flush at home; I'm just see bad things happening while having the truck running, pouring oil into the filler...
