Haven't you learned anything from your wife yet! Ask her, she will tell you that you can never have to big of a tool. smilietease

It appears you are on the right track Duncan. You could always peen them the old fashioned way by hand with a hammer & Bucking bar but you would have to develop your technique so you could work fast. Some have modified a ram from a hydraulic jack or press and made a c-clamp arrangement. As far...

This is an automotive discussion forum based on the sharing of facts, not the spreading of inaccurate and incorrect information as you have tried to do numerous times in this thread. Furthermore, it has nothing to do with American & European differences nor the Kyoto protocal, it has everything...

This is both fundamentally false and incorrect! The air pump does not have enough pressure to push air the opposite direction of the exhaust stream, nor will the air stream defeat the basic laws of physics. When the air pump is injecting air into the exhaust system the exhaust temperature rises...

Exactly, spot on. smilieIagree smiliewhathesaid

Well if he has a currently updated AE program he needs to sit down with a factory shop manual and run all of the diagnostic tests listed step by step for the symptoms & codes he has. There are multiple things that can be causing this from bad injectors, low fuel pressure, bad sensors, etc. The...

smilieIagreeA paint thickness meter is a nice tool to have but as Austin said they are a little spendy. DeFelsko is the gold standard but prices start at $500 & go up. www.defelsko.com/applications/paintmeter/automotive-paint-detailing.htm...

Well just re-painted the hood on my mom's 2006 Grand Marquis, paint was coming off in sheets, have a 1998 Ranger paint is peeling off the hood, cowl & roof. Painted far to many Ford, GM & Chrysler with clear failure & paint lifting & peeling.

I wish this was limited to one manufacture, but all of the big three suffer from this problem routinely, mainly do to the EPA restrictions and the factories trying to paint for the lowest cost.:headbang:

Todd, not wanting to rain on your mechanic friends parade, but if he does not have access to a Ford Dealer computer or own an Auto Enginuity package to analyze and test all the differnet systems both in KOEO & KOER plus pull all codes he is just going to be throwing parts at it. The days of...

Exactly smilieIagree And lets not forget that the 5th wheel rating on a 2011 F250 is 14,400 & F350 SRW 15,700 but these values are based on the lightest weight cab & acccessory configurations, as the cabs get bigger and you upgrade the trim package the usable weight goes down quickly.Also if...

Don't want to rain on your parade, but I am not sure if any F350 SRW is rated to tow your trailer. A 38' fiver can easily weigh 16-17k which will push you into an F350 DRW or F450.Have you weighed your truck & trailer on a multiplate CAT scale to see what everything (FGAW, RGAW, trailer weight...

First off welcome to FTFIt "may be" a "direct quote" from the FMC consumer "build it" website but it is an incorrect statment, probably mis-typed by $5 dollar an hour part time worker they hired to input data. The 10,000 GVWR package on an 2011 SRW F350 PSD is a de-rate of its standard GVWR...

Sent you the correct VIN in a PM.Thank You Vince

Wow that is interesting, my best friend was looking at this truck at a Ford dealer and called me about it. Has 101k on the clock supposedly a one owner vehicle bulit in August Job 1.Thank You for the information Vince.

Can you run this for me at your convience.Thank You

Have you found the reason causing this to happen? As I mentioned never had this problem in the past, also rechecked the mileage since last fill up and had driven 173 miles prior to filter change, so about 12 gallons down.

Had burned off about 8-9 gallons from the last fill up, but have never had this issue in the past. Every other time I have ever changed a fuel filter on a 6.0 when you open the drain plug you get a couple of cups of diesel fuel that runs out then fuel flow stops and it is an easy change of the...

Crawled under the 06 today to change the fuel filter, opened the drain plug and the fuel flow would never stop. Needles to say I got a nice diesel bath while changing the filter. Does the HFCM need to be replaced, rebuilt or is there another option?

Dude, The difference in E/I flow ratio is about 3% between a D0/D1 and a D5, and there is much more important parts to the power equation than the E/I flow ratio you get on the bench. The change in E/I flow ratio on the later D5 heads will have no effect on his stock daily driver on pump gas...

The 06-07 6.0 are good motors, and the 08-10 6.4 is better. The major chassis changes were last made in 2005. Any of them you choose to buy do your homework and get a look at the Oasis report if you can. Also the VVT turbos do not like to sit around so thoroughly check out any low mileage...

First is it has the 10,000 package which de-rates the trucks GVW & GCVWR from the factory. The 10,000 package is offered so that people who live in states that pay vehicle license fees based on weight and/or states that require more stringent drivers licenses based on weight (CA is one) can...

He is not going to see any gains switching from 2V D5 casting to D1/D0 castings (BTW they are all 351C heads), the exhaust is not the problem. And yes you brought up porting the heads, which will shift the torque curve up. As far as owning and working on these, I grew up at the dragstrip, had &...

All the work you have done on Ford heads and all the aftermarket heads with "better" exhaust flow can be and many times are, a huge sales gimmick and step in the wrong direction. It all boils down to intended application. "The more air you get in & out the more power you make" is an over...

I am very familiar with the 351C/351M/400 engine and its components. The extended water jacket around the exhaust valve in the later D5 castings doesn't matter in the performance of this engine application. You want Ben to swap a set of 2V D5 heads for a set of 2V D1 or D0 heads and this is...

Yes the 351C/351M/400 2v heads are the same and have open combustion chambers which in this application is their weakness.It is not that 351C-4V heads are too large for a street engine it is they are too large for this application. This engine is in a 4wd truck that needs its power curve in...

You want the standard Bilstein "Truck Shock" (BTS) model F4-BE5-C295-HO (front) and F4-BE5-C296-HO (rear). Try shockwarehouse for low prices. As far as determining your current installed springs see if the tags are still on the springs, also try locating your window sticker and if all else fails...
