K, im convinced. When will Ford introduce the Urea on diesels?

fuel pressure?

Your welcome....and thanks to Steve for getting me one.

I agree, anytime i see anything that is unsafe, i document it, and put "customer declined work." That simple. In a time where everyone is sue-happy, you have to cover your arse.

Just out of curiosity, do you put a torque wrench on everything? What do you torque and what don't you torque? Differnt strokes for different folks. I like torque stick's, they are convienient (however us spell it).

Jim, 6.0 injectors are 24lb/ft for the T40torx and 26lb/ft for the T45 torx(late 06-07). That is a must in the shop. I i see someone doing an injector and they dont have a torque wrench next to them, i raise hell.

Keith, I actually have been told time and time again that Ford doesn't have the ability to do that. Instructor told me, and hotline also told me. They usually say "that would be awesome if we were able to do that." I may be wrong, and I still tell customer's that we can. On Topic, I am not at all against tuner's helping increase gas mileage. As long as the factory catalytic system stays on the truck. Do you think that deleting the DPF, keeping the DOC and making 20-30mpg would be as harmful on the environment as the truck only getting 7MPG entirely stock?

Now that's interesting. I did the "repairs" after arguing for a week, service manager was on my side, all the tech's were on my side, but the DP got involved and the rest is history. I made document of everything, I wrote exactly how it needed to be repaired correctly, and then what was forced out of me. They did not put my number on the ticket, they used a generic code for it. Now we have a used car guy who is willing to do the work asked of him, cheaper, "quicker," but wont last.

A. I've forgotten to torque one wheel but realized it pulling out of my stall.... The reason.... I got pulled away to go on a 45min test drive with a customer. B. I spent 3 day's looking for 2 missing lugnuts from a truck with custom wheels. I eventually told them I couldn't find them after the job was done and have no idea what happened to them. We almost bought a new set of 32 when the customer told us "oh, those have been missing for a while" We are soo stressed with daily jobs and task's....being pulled off to do waiter's or to do something else. IT HAPPENS. Should he have seen the lugnuts missing... YES... He either thought it was never there, or just didnt give a shit. He really should of said something. If i see something missing, I go and tell the service writer, End of story. It's better to make sure, then to look like an ass when the customer say's "it was there before" Side Note: I have learned that with a Hot Temper and screaming mouth you won't get anything accomplished. I used to yell and scream at people when done wrong, but realized that wasnt the way to do something. I have been yelled at by a customer and it felt shitty even though i was in the right. Treat other's as you would like to be treated. I heard a service writer tell a customer "would you like me to come to your place of employment and start screaming and yelling even when im wrong???? causing this scene?" I can't stand customer's that yell and scream. PERIOD. SHIT HAPPENS. Miscommunication between S/A and tech, customer not giving all info, etc etc etc.

Where you at on this one Bruce.

When i was at Ford school in Dearborn (8 kids a year)they showed us a SuperDuty with a Ford GT motor in it (before they came out). Cetane would be on to ask, he's a calibration engineer.

It's in there, I had to fish it out of one for a customer, I think u have to hold down the select/reset and go through system checks or something like that, then it will show you (if it's the regular non-fancy cluster)

Dwayne, same here with that shit.....2 dif dealer's change one injector, then we get the whole bank out after diaging it correctly and finding out Fuel pressure is low. An earlier post has that issue. We were doing 3 trucks a week like that. Then we get the...God damnit another dealer just put a EGR cooler in it a week ago....dont they fucking know that the oil cooler was the cause. Rant.

A. this isn't the customers truck anymore B. I've done some seriously stupid shit because the used car manager didn't want to do it the PROPER way, I argued, lost, did it, and laughed. I'm sorry but i'm not going to have a downed rack because he's a dumbass. I'm sure it's not his call Jim.

"plump" chicks are like mopeds....Fun to ride til your friends see you on them.

I remember one of these situations. I had a 05 F350 blowing a fuse(cant remember what fuse) but it feed a crap load of stuff. I spent 2 hour's putting 5 fuse'd jumper's after the splice going to each CKT that branches off. ( i used 5amp fuse to see what would blow first. After 30min of test driving i found the ckt that cause the main one to blow. Guy paid for all of it which was cool.

It's only going to get worse.

I had a similar problem, hotline engineer said that since retrieving contribution codes for #1 and #2 and them being one after another in the firing order, to start watching FICM SYNC, and SYNC because he was thinking that there was an issue with the crank sensor trigger wheel ( or was it cam trigger ) wheel. I think that is where your headed. Make sure you monitor RPM signal, FICM SYNC and SYNC as a bar graph....Take the IDS and make recording's. If all is ok, i would take the cam sensor out, check it, if ok, voltage drop the wires to the PCM, then obviously make a scope reading. That is where I think you are heading. The EGR valve is another issue.

We avoided one of our account's bringing in a 6.4 that hydrolocked. Happened 25miles away from us, they went to the closest dealer /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thumbup.gif.... Dave heres you...... /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/hitthefan.gif heres me as usual /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/hahaha.gif

That's a SSM i went off Keith, but Hotline actually built the Headlamp CKT (he said they can do that in their office), and put a faulty SJB they had in the CKT. That's how he (the engineer) and I found out that with no DTC's and the concern still there, the SJB has to put the light's on for safety, even if a fault is indicated.

Can you imagine all of us at one huge dealership. We would have awesome parts guy's, tech's that care, a chapel for Jim's preaching, DamageINC running the porter department.....It's like fantasy island.

No, FMCDealer tech to tech.

There is no such thing as ohming out a wire in my eyes. It get's a voltage drop test. (ford is following that soon, you watch). On an engine harness.....if there is more then .2v drop then u have an issue. Side note: The new SJB in the 08 SD's is EXTREMELY sensitive to current draw. If there is too much current draw (hotline wouldn't tell me the exact spec) in that CKT, it will shut that CKT down. I had a headlamp problem on a 08 with a aftermarket plow package installed. They used one headlamp connector to supply voltage to the aftermarket ones and to the other headlamp. The concern "Headlamps take 5seconds to come on" Resolution: They burnt out the SJB by overloading the CKT. When turning the headlamps on and there is a 5second delay...the SJB box senses a failure, does a self-test on the headlamp ckt, throw's a code, then put's the headlamps on for safety. All in that 5second span. So if anyone of you guys have that problem, there's why.
