DieselD Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 2 6.4s with blown up engines with a possible 3rd on the way. Not just a 6.4 pickup truck, these have overhead cranes/booms on them so getting a cab up is a bitch. Have I mentioned I really really hate my job some days/weeks?

DieselD Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Fun? Hardly! Here is the first pile..it was enough electronics wiring from the cab to body to make a Lincoln proud! Thankfully it ran so I could turn the boom to lift the cab. I have been running actual time like crazy but im still going to be upside down in this pig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshbuys Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 2011 6.7L King Ranch 16k on the odo. Died while driving down the freeway, starts - after cranking for about 30 seconds, running on 4 cylinders. Has red dye fuel in it (off-road use only - non taxed) P0266, P0281, P1140, P1291, P1292, Has a shorted out fuel injector (see TSB 11-06-10) and needs all 8 replaced and perhaps a pump, some water in the fuel sample, and also some debris. My SD, SM and SF decided it's getting shipped up the road to the selling dealer to deal with, we're in warranty counseling and they don't want to mess with it or have to tell this guy that he needs to buy $4000 worth of injectors for his brand new truck.

Matt Saunoras Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I'm going to have to go in sat to finish that damn expedition. I haven't touched it for more than an hour all week and now I'm swamped. Right now I'm in the middle of a 02 F450 with up-pipes and a center driveshaft u-joint + carrier bearing. tomorrow a 02 mount is on the schedule for a black box 5R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Saunoras Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 what the hell? my guess is airport only and you're not even supposed to drive it on the street. look at the front bumper any emission controls on it? who roadtests it when you're finished?

DieselD Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Its a military base vehicle so yeah not driven on the street but still! I wouldnt want to be driving around a airport like that! I can only get the hood up 6-12inches so havent has a chance to even see the engine yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Saunoras Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 suprisingly only 1 bolt on each vehicle, you know that's rare I'll allow 1 on each side before I do anything about them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Clayton Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I think it's worse when the friggin trans mount stud spins in the rubber and then your stuck with mount and cross member being "one". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thing was doomed the day it arrived at the upfitter. It doesn't get taken out on the highway and beat on (cleaned out, exhaust brought up to a good temp, ect) and it sits around the yard and when called upon, idles for who knows how long to run the PTO for those stairs. Just what a 6.4 was designed for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Yeah, a V-10 would have been a wiser choice on this one. I also wonder if they run aviation fuel in this truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbudge Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Air Canada GSE (ground service equipment) just brought us their 2011 F550 wrecker for a safety, I guess they take it on the road sometimes. Powered by gasoline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselD Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Yeah, a V-10 would have been a wiser choice on this one. I also wonder if they run aviation fuel in this truck. Smells like bio and a high percentage at that. pulled codes on the thing, p2291 and no high pressure fuel. on the bright side it has a electric override for the pto system so I can at least lift the stairs out of the way its going to be a long week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
