Check out the 7.3 waterpump part labels. Assembled in USA contents from China also.

I just thought this might be a good topic. I been noticing lately on the Ford parts packages where the parts are made, for instance pull a F81Z15442BA and take a look....It's made in Poland, how American is this??? How about a YC3Z7L596AA clutch pack made in Brazil. Anybody else see this as well??? /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/shrug.gif

Haven't checked it out yet but probably is less $'s and less hassle than screwing around with those weld nuts. I guess we need to be careful not to burn the truck to the ground even though some of us might prefer that method. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/drinkingdude.gif

Keith, do you think heating the bolts up 1st might be a little easier, or do you think it would screw up the heat treat on them?

Glad to see that I'm not the only parts guy here. Good to have you /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rockon.gif

That was pretty cool looking, but really scary. It definitly gives Smokey the Bear some new material to work with. Stay out of the woods /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif

I don't know about the rest of us but I do a pretty good business with E series diesels. All the ambulances,schools and various contractors using them.

Boy oh Boy, didn't think it would be this soon to see a recall on the 08's. I guess the 6.0's aren't looking so bad now... /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/banghead.gif

How about this thought.... A F550 meat wagon, if they can't get the E series why not make a F series.........

DPF dlr net $1103.75

The esn should be stamped on the left/drivers side rear of the block just below the head. lol trying to see it though.

Ding,ding,ding give that man a cigar!!! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thumbup.gif Be careful there is a esn# split on this one. 3C3Z9E527AE # 6155636 and below(Indy built) # 94580 and below (Huntsville built) 9/22/2003 and before 4C3Z9E527AA # 6155637 and up (Indy built) # 94581 and up (Huntsville built) 9/22/2003 and beyond Unless Ford/IH have changed their minds again...... It seems things change everyday and have to stay right on top of it just to keep up. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cheers.gif

Bruce if you have the Diesel sales reference manual, it will have the i.d. #' that you need. If not I need the #' that are etched on the top plate of the inj. solenoid. These #' are only on the new not reman.

Keith I was just talking to my back counter guy, his phrase for how slow it is and I quote "I'm getting secretary's !@#!?$! and it's getting wider sitting on this stool". As for the front counter it has been fairly steady but I would rather be up to my !@#!?$! and elbows in customers. Makes it a little easier to make the mortgage payment, and also the day doesn't seem to be as long.

Sorry about that Alex, I just double checked and it is 1/2 drive, will take another look and let you know.

Keith, I totally agree with you!!! Don't you think that if this stuff is the Wonder Juice that BG claims it is, that Ford would be supplying it with all the fuel/oil issues that there has been. I also agree that the end users should also be better informed right from the start about using quality fuels and oils. I just stopped by the gas station out by my house last night ULSD $2.76 gal, Bio Goo $2.81 gal. More expensive for the Bio does that make it better.... I remember back a few years ago the Krex products that were making the rounds at the car dealers. The salesmen had the mechanics/techs save the caps and got $.25 per cap. We probably sold 3-4 cases a day to the shop. Krex promoted the product by commission to the techs, does that make it any better?

Proto makes one, part # 7418M 6pt std 3/4 drive impact.

A/T 3C3Z6G091AA on b/o but the locator shows that dealers all over have them. M/T 3C3Z6G091BA show 2 at the Nat. depot also shows on the locator. I guess that explains why I don't have the A/T cover.

Keith I feel for you on this one lol !!! Alright guy's I figured it out drove me crazy though. Ford lists it with the a/c condensor. Part # 3C3Z19E672CA air deflector.

Help!!! Flashback, 318 lean burn Chrysler's what a nightmare!!!

If your talking about the lower seal, the # is 3C3Z19E572AA. If you need the shroud that actually mounts to the rad. the # is 3C3Z8146AJ. If you need the round part of the shroud that mounts to the 8146 it comes 2 different #'s Hvy duty and extra hvy duty alt. 5C3Z8B614CA and the Duel hvy duty alt's 5C3Z8A614DA. I don't see anything else around that area. If there is can you elaborate and I will try to help the best I can.

Keith the way it was descibed to me was that when they build more hp into a engine. The engine doesn't work as hard at a cruising speed which in turn is more efficient and gets better mileage. Whether this is true or not I don't know...

Did you have to put that truck thru a Regen????

http://www.truckinginfo.com/news/news-detail.asp?news_id=58007 Take a look!!! My New Truck Sales manager just brought me a picture of this truck. I couldn't find one online yet but it resembles the Ram, and will be Cummins powered probably the 6.7. It's supposed to compete on the F-450 level.

It shows 2 different part #'s. I haven't had a need for these yet, but it's nice to know that the S/D blades will work. The B/D #'s are 6E7Z17528AA and 6E7Z17528BA
