GregH Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Oh yeah, and don't forget the left hand thread on the fan clutch. Rule of thumb for fan clutches - I think it qualifies as a "doh!" If the water pump pulley has groves, then it's a left hand thread on the clutch. If the water pump pulley is smooth, then the thread is right handed. Works for all engines with the fan on the water pump.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Clayton Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Quote: Article #09-C-2007 6.4L Plastic Heater Supply Tube Damage - 2008 F-Super Duty A review of warranty claims indicates that some 6.4L plastic heater supply tubes are being damaged and replaced during the repair. Please reference the updated RH valve cover procedure in section 303-01C of the workshop manual (WSM). Category: Powertrain – Diesel Engine Do: Follow the updated 6.4L RH valve cover procedure in WSM section 303-01C. Don't: Bend or flex the plastic heater supply tube or damage to the tube may occur. Is this what we have to look forward to? You have to be super careful with this tube that has always been and should be now metal! Any kind of miles on her and this thing snaps when you look at it cross eyed. Looks like the next 200,000 miles or so of warranty are going to be under a microscope, fun.

DwayneGorniak Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Just wait till you get to the one on the left hand side that connects the front cover to the degas bottle. It has a piece of shit little hook on it to hook the wiring harness into /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/icon_crazy.gif. Trust me, don't event try to put the harness back into it if you get the harness out without breaking it. Use a zip tie around the pipe. If you take a good look at these plastic pieces of shit, you will see that they are a two piece molded together piece of fucking garbage. I can't believe they build shit like this. They build this shit for the ideal world. And the ideal world does not fucking exist out in the real world /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/banghead.gif. Man engineers really burn my ass /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/flamethrower.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamageINC Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 ....why not just tell us how you really feel?? Hehe I know though, it's like they honestly couldn't have made some things any more complicated and difficult if they were actually TRYING to engineer them to be difficult.

Brad Clayton Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Ford actually called our dealer today and wanted to know why we haven't done the recall on one of our trucks in stock. First time I ever heard of them doing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 First time I ever heard of them doing this. They did that to us on 14 F250's for the axle lube recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Clayton Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Well I performed this recall today, and the only real issue I had with it was gettin those damn push nuts off the glow plug relay heat shield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 CRAP! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/banghead.gif I broke one. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rotz.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Well I got the new coolant tube in without too much of a hassle but it still sucks. The icing on the cake is that when dropped on the floor, the new plastic tube sounds like it is made of steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
