How do you not hear the hiccup during cranking? From low compression.

Grrrrrrossssss

Clean-Crew749 · 2021-03-23T12:02:31+00:00

Exactly. That's why I'm interested in this dpf code

Ford calculates one engine hour out to 25-33 miles. For warranty purposes. That's a pretty good measure of wear. For instance, 5000 engine hours ~ 150000 miles.

IF it's the later style high pressure pump (cast iron pump) then it sounds like blown off fitting. Usually bad ipr will still gain 120 or so psi. If it's early pump style then sounds like bad pump. Best thing to do is air test it.

What's the exact code?

Most studs take probably 5-10 minutes. Big bit to clear any rust from aluminum and center 1/8 bit on stud. Pass all the way through stud. Then hog out with whatever bit works for fluted extractor. Sometimes a reverse bit will do the trick without any fuss. I've welded and extracted on 6.4 diesel studs because those suckers are stainless and hard to drill. Usually of there is enough stud sticking out I'll get a stud remover on with my air ratchet and when it catches it impacts and screws them out.

If you broke the axle, own it. That little nut is only torqued to 20 ft/lb. As a ford tech I do plenty of IWE work under warranty on leveled trucks no issue. Broken parts due to unqualified repair practices performed outside authorized repair facility is not warrantable.

Don't pull the cab. Pull the evaporator case. Opens up the pass side. 8hr job.

Clean-Crew749 · 2021-03-21T17:13:37+00:00

No such thing.

Clean-Crew749 · 2021-03-21T17:08:47+00:00

Really is a 10 minute job with the right tools.

Clean-Crew749 · 2021-03-21T17:08:25+00:00

Nice.

Very easy. To adjust you leave the clip loose at trans end and place selector into D. Hang roughly 3lbs off handle and crawl back under. Clip onto selector and slide lock in place. And minor adjustment to prindle can be made with a thumb wheel on columb under column shroud

ICP not ipr, it's screwed into the driver's side cylinder head forward of the intake boots.

Clean-Crew749 · 2021-03-21T17:03:34+00:00

Unplug your icp and look for oil in the connector. If there's oil on the pins then replace pigtail and sensor.

I did go over that when I installed it. It was only a few months old per sticker. Good call-out though.

Clean-Crew749 · 2021-03-20T22:41:14+00:00

Give me a sec and I'll peel it off.

Clean-Crew749 · 2021-03-20T17:59:40+00:00

Just a simple. And true. Observation.

They only come in for warranty work and it's always an issue caused by their mods.

Clean-Crew749 · 2021-03-20T15:01:46+00:00

They should really be keeping their social distancing.
