Vince, oh guru of 6.0's, I am having an issue. Truck will only get warm inside the cab under HEAVY engine load, but then it cools back off. Electronic clutch on the fan is running ALL THE TIME, but only after the dummy water guage says warm.?!I am going to check the lower rad hose tomorrow...

That's right! STOCK AIN'T DOC! Got a hell of a deal on it, so the teardown and build will begin shortly. Building a mild 450hp Twin turbo Cummins to transplant into my '06 F-350! Best part is, it came out of a Ford school bus and all the data plates are marked with the Ford logo! smilieFordlogo

2006 6.0L and LOADED!More pics here!!!!

Anyone know where I can get a GOOD Blue book on an F-550?

...Oh who the hell am I kiddin'? Hey ya'll, I am making it a conscious decision to make my presence back here again in 2013. Over the last year or so I have stopped in to lurk and try to keep up on any mod items, but it looks to me like you all have been behaving. LOL That being said, let...

Advance Trac light flashes on and off intermediatly, occasionally making the dash guages do the same as well, also the button on the center console is tough to click (thinking it needs a good cleaning as it is between the cup holders...who's idea was that FORD:headbang:?! LOL) I had to go...

Well after MUCH debate and in wanting to help out the wife, I decided to trade off my truck to help lower the cost of her new ride... Bittersweet, but I told her this spring I get my dually. LOL Heres the specs... 2005 Expedition 5.4 3V 4x4 Pics tell the rest of the story... Here is a...

Jesus it is flat gettin after it out there! I couldn't see past the nose of the truck tonight after we left the MMA fights in Pacific this evening! Hope all the STL guys are stayin safe tonight!

Got an offer on the truck today... 2001 Lexus IS300 or $5800 Cash... He is supposed to send me pics of the car and the details. I am thinking take the cash and build the Ex for myself.... Or trade for the car and give it to the wife, and still build the Ex for me... Or...Oh what the hell I...

This is my official build thread for my wife's Expedition I just bought her. Specs: 1998 Ford Expedition XLT 198,000 miles 4.6 Triton 4x4 Leather interior Burgandy exterior color Gray Interior Picked it up on April 24th and plan on tearing into it starting this weekend. When I looked at it...

I am looking at an AWD Expedition and am wanting to rewire it so when it goes into AWD it is actually in 2WD. I could always switch out the trasfer case for a manual lever action. hmmm.:wasntme:

ATTN ALL MODS, SUPERS, AND ADMINS, THIS IS IN THE CERTIFIED TECH FORUM!!!smilieneenar :rolling laugh: smilietease Ok techs, I replaced the DF Caliper this afternoon, along with front pads and had the rotors turned. I bled all the brakes until I had brand new fluid coming through the line...

Yep its official. The kid is sending me the check on Monday. Figured why let it sit on my shelf waiting for the rock crawler to be built if someone else can use it. :) It is going on an interceptor vic with a 5.4 conversion. Sounds like a badass build and should be fun for him.smilieFordlogo...

Not sure which way I like best, but I have another idea as well I am going to try out tomorrow... Primed and ready to paint... Style #1 Style #2 I also painted straight down along the headlights to see what that would look like.... It was too dark to take a pic so I will have more...

May have a project coming up on the truck that would make it ONE OF A KIND! Have to get the logistics together and work it out, but it would include stretching the frame a bit, SAS and built blown motor...smilieFordlogo :wasntme:

I prefer to pull the whole damned engine!:headbang: Oh and changing out to a set of PI heads while I have it out this time as well. A little marring on the top of the piston. But nothing major. OUCH! Got a little thin on one side when drilling in the helicoil and BAM blew out the...

I am calling on a 03 6.0 in the AM and before I make the trip to OK for the trade (if they still have the truck) I want to know if there is any tell tale signs of the issues on these trucks. Here is the truck. Something about it just keeps bringing me back to it. I know it needs some interior...

What say ya'll? wanna shoot the chit?! Let me know what weekends work I will pool the group together and pick the best.

Hey all, looking at getting these, for the front axle off the truck. Any idea on about how much these would weigh for scrap...? Looking to see if I can make my money back or not. I would need both to wiegh in at a minimum of 9000. think thats doable? Also if anyone needs anything off of...

Well it feels like its new anyway! LOL Got ol white running good today. Apparently the differences between a 97-98 wiring harness and 99-03 are just enough to give it a miss on cylinder #2. SOOOO I had to switch out the harness right quick and guess what...BAM she fired right up and purred...

Hey all will an plugged injector throw a misfire code, or is it only coils and plugs? I have replaced coils and plugs, but the engine sat for a couple of years with gas in it. I am going to swap them out with another set of injectors I have here at the house, but wanted to check if that made...

It has been TOO long since I have removed a virgin motor! LOL AND can I say that anyone trying to pull a 2wd 5.4 has my sympathy! That stupid oil relocation BS was a pain in my rear! But it is out after 7 YES I SAID 7 hours! GEEZE O PETE! Oh well at least I know I can drop it in mine and...

Hey all, Wife is looking at this Excursion, and would like to see what it would look like with these wheels on it...

Seems like a decent deal even if I have to freshen up the drivetrain a little here and there. Vince - anything I need to know about these new engines...

That's right, I finally MADE myself go up to dads and pull it this weekend! LOL Now to find out what is wrong....:wasntme: Oh and if we are keeping track this is engine pull # 10 or 11! HAHA

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/2431161089.html Seems like a pretty good deal if that is all it needs.

I think I may have found on HELL of a deal on a cobra 32V 4.6 for my truck...If the guy still has it, I am going to try and get it this weekend... He is asking 700 for the WHOLE car! He has NO idea what he has! Oh BTW it is in a 97 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC.:wasntme:To give you an idea...
