zog Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 My first 6.4 came in on the hook. No high fuel pressure, pin pointed to the pump. Removed cab /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cover.gif. Removed and inspected pump and found bent pump shaft and damage to the gear. Upon further inspection found damage to cam and crank gear teeth. Metal in pan. New Motor on the way. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/banghead.gif I love my job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony302600 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I'm going to take pix of my first indepth 6.4 problem. 2 bent pushrods on the exhaust side 3 and 7 from lot rot. Needs a head, 2 pushrods, and a page of nuts, bolts and washers i had to hunt down for my parts guys. I will take pix tom. What do you guys think about cab removal. I had the luxury of doing it on a tow truck so i had an aux hydraulic pump, crapload of wires. My 1/2'' 1000ft/lb reverse impace BARELY loosened the head bolts, ( international engineer told me he uses a 3/4 impact ). heated all the cab bolts, right front spun on me, and the rest came out like butter...then i made the "eastendpowerstroke Special Service tool," a bent 7/8 wrench and got it. Maybe I have to do it a few more times. Has anyone taken the head of besides me on this site or no, I have the biggest bucket of nuts and bolts, parts everywhere, it sucked. I was super excited to do the job until i saw it pays 9.4 to replace a head. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/banghead.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/banghead.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastendpowerstroke Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 then i made the "eastendpowerstroke Special Service tool," a bent 7/8 wrench and got it. As much as I'd like the credit it's not mine gotta give that to Stephen J. Shean or his alter ego "snw blue by you" THREAD HERE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony302600 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 If you heat the bolts up, they come out like butter.....i wouldnt do anything else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 If you heat the bolts up, they come out like butter.....i wouldn't do anything else Yep, heat em up and let them sit a couple of minutes to let the heat migrate up the bolts and soften the loc-tite. It is one of those times where technique wins over. Patience here, just a few extra minutes can save you hours of wasted time fixing the nuts and the total frustration that comes with it. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregH Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Another suggestion I heard was to allow the weight of the truck to help keep the nuts where they belong. Set the truck back on the floor, set the rack under the body, and apply slight pressure. The weight of the frame of the truck should keep the nut down in it's cage, and help prevent a spin. I think I might try this for the two front mounts only. Since we've never had a problem with the remainder. Also, there really is no way to apply a load to the nuts with this method when most of the bolts are still tight - you'd need to be at the end of the sequence...

Tony302600 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Greg, try the heat method....it seriously came out super easy.....Like keith said PATIENCE is the key.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slim Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 What are you heating the bolts with? Propane torch or oxy/acetylene? and what part of the bolt are you heating and I guess you're not having problems with damaging the mounts? Sorry about all the questions but this seems the best way to get the bolts out and just want to get it right when I need to. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony302600 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Heres some pix of my first one There is #7 with a slight bend in it, and #3 with the obvious bend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry about all the questions but this seems the best way to get the bolts out and just want to get it right when I need to. Thanks Use the oxy/acetylene. Propane did not work for me as it is not hot enough. You will find that the glue that bonds the rubber mount to the steel plate will ooze from around the edge slightly. That is the point when you should stop applying heat and wait a couple of minutes and then wrench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristopherH Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Thanks for the pics. I was wondering if your dealer is making a warranty claim on this? We had this happen to a few 6.0s, and our Zone Manager (or whatever they call themselves now) gave us hell about the last one going warranty. Personally, if the dealer is not following the storage guidelines and this happens--I don't think that we should have to do these repairs for warranty time. I was just curious.

Tony302600 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Chris we didnt sell it, build date was in june, sold date was in june, and we got it last week with only 66miles on it. My manager had to call the warranty nazi's and they said they cannot make that customer pay. BTW the customer was royally pissed he didnt get an engine. The cab was in the air ater the outfitting company told us go ahead, but the owner said MY TRUCK MY DECISION, push it outside im coming to get it, and i told him i cant because its all taken apart.

SteveS Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 ... if the dealer is not following the storage guidelines and this happens--Soooooo..... If the truck sits on the lot too long the valves will stick? I am having trouble understanding how proper storage procedures effect bent pushrods; it sounds like another way for Corporate to spank the dealership.
