+1 i replaced a couple under valve cover harnesses as well for that code. while performing ford's ppt the truck is off, giving you good readings, and it may only create a loose connection while its running. I did have one though with an int. miss, ended up being main engine harness rubbing on the fuel line like the ssm 20471.

Besides being addicted to work, my time is spent with my wife and 2 year old daughter. A 2 year-old can keep you pretty busy. I have been into extreme sports my whole life. So when I do get free time I race my atv at the motocross track or rollerblade at the local skatepark. I have aflac and really good insurance!

Is this the tsb your looking for? -tsb 05-22-3 LOW POWER - COLD SIDE CHARGE AIR COOLER (CAC) DISCONNECTED - OIL LEAK AT CAC CONNECTIONS - 6.0L ENGINE - VEHICLES BUILT 4/1/2004 THROUGH 2/20/2005 6C3Z-6C640-AA Metal Duct Kit I didnt see a tsb for an 06 besides the hot side cac hose. hope this helps

It all depends on what kind of repair. for just a fan clutch dual alternators shouldnt be an issue, but if there is an extra a/c compressor or lines across the top of the motor I might charge 1.4 to evac and recharge system plus .5 -1.0 to remove the components. I see a lot of shuttle buses with some really akward pulley and belt set-ups. if i am doing something like a front cover gasket the extra time depends on how it is set up. Some bus builders will move the vac pump, have 2 enormous alternators, and a giant a/c compressor in the way. Between 1.0- 3.0hrs extra time is usually fair depending on the circumstance.

We get 2.9 hrs retail on e-series clutches. I try to get more when there is rear aux a/c equipment or add-ons.

Our shop pays us 1.0 hr diag and 1.9 hr r+r clutch- cust pay.

I contacted hotline and so far the only way to get the seal is with the tube. They did however tell me that this seal is reusable.

I put the new cac hose on today, drove veh 20 miles, no more codes. truck now makes 24 psi boost. All is well now. here is a pic of the new cac with the o-ring. theres not much to it, its a thin sharp edged o-ring.

Thanks! Gotta support the DTS

i forgot to mention that there was also a code pending before I smoke tested it this morning. p0299 didnt come back, but there was a p02ec(high air flow detected) stored. Its hard to believe that I have 2 problems with this new truck, but I have been very thourogh with my diag_this being my first 6.7 diag. I set the wastegate rod adjustment to 9.5 inches-which I just noticed this is the number marked on the wastegate in the coffee table book. I pulled the cac hose off of another 6.7 on the lot and the o-ring is in there. I also took this stock unit and made a recording of the map pid, and got 22 psi as my max boost. It is a little difficult getting the cac quick release loose. I used 2 long flatblades and a long booger picker. here are some pics of the quick connect. The second picture is where the o-ring is missing from the metal sleeve.

smoke tested intake today and found cac hose connection from turbo leaking. this is a quick connect like the 6.4 rad hoses. I pulled it off and no o-ring is to be found. A metal to metal connection did seal good enough to make 20 psi though

So I put the intake back on, cleared the code and drove the truck today. p0299 has not returned yet, but it still feels like it has a lack of boost. My map pid showed 33 psi max at wot, which would be about 19 mgp psi. I have in my notes from 6.7 class normal boost is between 26-28 psi. kind of sounds like a cac leak while I am accelorating, but I havnt done any diag besides the ssm yet. we'll see what we find tomorrow.

i got my first 6.7 mil on 174 miles, code P0299. there is a ssm out already for this concern. ssm 21305 P0299 mil on vehicles built before 04/05/2010. " May be due to an incorrectly adjusted turbo wastegate actuator. Prior to performing normal diagnostics, check turbo wastegate adjustment." i perf the wastegate adjustment check and it was way out of spec, opening at 5 inches of vac. spec is to see rod moving with vac applied between 8.3 -10 inches. the paint mark was still intact on the rod. I had to remove wastegate and rotate counterclockwise 4 times to get into spec. Waiting for intake gaskets to recheck and drive tommorrow. The upper intake came out fairly easy I wonder why it was so out of spec from the factory?

I ALWAYS BRAKE CLEAN AND BLOW AIR BEFORE DISSASSEMLY AND USE MY CRAFTSMAN WET/DRY VAC WHEN EVERYTHINGS APART TO GET ANY LEFT OVER DEBRI. KEEPING EVERYTHING CLEAN GIVES ME PIECE OF MIND WHEN I GO TO FIRE THESE MONSTERS UP AFTER A BIG JOB.

up until now our dealer hasn't had many problems with our warranty being high. last week we got charged back oil because i changed the oil when i replaced an oil cooler. i have done this several times without a problem. they said it is not dierected to do by the workshop manual. i looked in the wsm and it doesnt say to change oil with front gasket or head gasket replacement either. so what i am getting from this not to charge out oil under warr for anything anymore.
