Jim Warman Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Can't say I've had the pleasure.... yet.... But I can't help wonder about doing a R&R on the high pressure pump without removing the turbos.... Everything I have seen so far has the turbos come off....

Everything I have seen so far has the turbos come off.... Why? If the cab's off the pump comes out with the turbos on. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/shrug.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know Ford says to remove the turbos, but seemed like such a lot of extra unnecessary work. That was about 6 months ago and truck has not returned.

bik717 Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 all i had to do was tilt the cover turn it a bit clockwise and it came right out in seconds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 We removed it in the 6.4L class on a stand with the turbos still on... which was really ass backward now that I think of it. Then again, it was the second class and much of it needed fine tuning and organizing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the fuel dilution of the oil damaged the turbo bearings and/or inner seals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bik717 Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 sorry guys i forgot to mention i removed the 2 low pressure fittings on the pump to get the cover off they wernt tight anyways and after a long conversation with hotline engineers the fuel being in the oil is damaging the turbos then i took it apart today and the low pressure turbo is deffinatly leaking oil they recomend to replace both turbos now the fun part cant find stock for the high pressure turbo lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I didn't realize that it could be gotten out like that... learn something new every day.... During our 6.4 class, we took the motor down in layers.... and, with four techs per group, you don't have to turn away for very long to miss stuff.... Until recently, the 6.4 has been very good to us... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Not at work right now..What's the part # I can probably find one on this side of the creek for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shlep Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I had the displeasure of doing one of these this past summer, once you got all the exhaust pipes out of the way it wasn't too bad, mind you I don't think I'd want to do one with the cab on, too much you can't readily see that can go terribly wrong.
