2008 6.4L USAF plane puller

[Gary_P]

absolutely no DPF/EGR/DOC/EGR coolers...nada zilch zippo. might even be able to work on this without pulling the cab. huge amount of space around the engine with all that crap off of it.

 

customer complains of coolant leak...actually coolant loss. found cooling system pressure in excess of 30 psi...uh-oh.

 

This is gonna be good

[Shlep]

Whats the chance of a picture or two of this beast, and Aaron would like the calibration files

[Gary_P]

I can do that, get my camera tomorrow

[Aaron]

This truck come with emissions control delete, or was it removed after the fact?

 

Be interesting to see the HVBOM and Asbuilt for this machine.

 

Does the placard under the hood reflect the removal of emissions equipment?

[Cetane]

They normally go to the mod center after production where all the emissions equipment is removed. Part of the process is to reflash the ECU with a derated "non-regen" cal. I believe it carries the same rating as a F450. If it was a mod center vehicle it should have the ITEC tag removed from the valve cover, along with the emissions and noise labels removed from the drivers door. New underhood and fuel door stickers should be in place as well. HVBOM and asbuilt will probably show regular production part numbers because it leaves the factory that way.

[Mekanik]

This is an Air Force truck that pulls planes?

Like in that 6.4L superbowl commercial?

[Gary_P]

Installed that way, engine supplied by navistar to the USgovt. was supposed to be shipped overseas and can run off of jet fuel or kerosene. no placard in place stating anything related to emmissions. hvbom....sure.

note the warning

[Gary_P]

turns out the coolant pressure was ok, I just need a new gauge.....go figure

[Aaron]

Well, it hasn't had the venturi recall, it must need a rad, too

 

Got any pics of this hot-rod?

[Aaron]

Ok so I had a look. It shows in HVBOM that this vehicle has a cat and DPF on it, but what I'm failing to understand is how a DPF lives on regular diesel/kero/jet fuel?

 

Says in "Features" in HVBOM :

 

ENGINE - EMISSION REQUIREMENTS

DGAAE 50 STATE EMISSION REQS

 

 

but then in another breath, it states:

 

FUEL - DIESEL FUEL CONTENT

GBYAC HI SULFUR DIESEL FUEL CONTENT

 

This one's a head scratcher.

[Cetane]

Aaron,

 

In most cases HVBOM only knows what the factory builds. The mod centers are not Ford facilities. They are an offsite purchased service. The trucks that are designated high sulfur go to the mod center for the retrofit. When they are delivered to the facility they are regular production 50-state trucks. The only thing that makes them hi-sulfur at that point is the window sticker. The mod center removes the exhaust and egr, flashes the ECU and ships it to the end user.

Now how does that work? If it needs to be reflashed/updated for the recall and it has a NON OE calibration.

[Cetane]

The calibrations are loaded into the database that IDS pulls from. IDS will pull the update just like a normal vehicle.

[Gary_P]

and it did, had to reflash it per a recall/program yesterday, no problems

[Tony302600]

Wheres the picture? Ive been dying to see one.

[Shlep]

Wheres the picture? Ive been dying to see one.

 

Yeah, you and me both.

[Aaron]

 

To post pictures of this truck!

 

[robp823]

I second that Aaron!

[Gary_P]

OMG guys, I am sorry, been hunting the cables for my damn camera and forgot all about the pictures. I will double my efforts

[Tony302600]

the suspense is killing me. I wanna see if the engine looks like a escort engine without all the massivness from the emissions stuff. LoL.

[LARRY BRUDZYNSKI]

 

Okay I'm starting to run out of popcorn and beer waiting....

[Keith Browning]

Wow you guys are roughing him up!

[DieselD]

We have lots of the 6.0 tugs come through our shop. hope I can see a 6.4 truck soon. the 6.0s all had coolers and egr valves on them tho.

 

they are a short little truck. also only go 35mph which I found out the hard way pulling into traffic!!

[Aaron]

I got it, I got it...please note the USAF lettering, drab olive green paint, and the particulate coming out the tailpipe, due to the lack of DPF.

 

[LARRY BRUDZYNSKI]

They probably paid about a quarter mil for it to, but remember they had to get it approved in triplecate. Isn't that the way the government works???
