With Fords most mechanics have to pull the cab the get to the headgaskets. I have heard of one that does not have to pull the cab. But its a trade secret. He will not tell anyone.Blowing a headgasket on a Ford is very expensive.
CTD for the win!

 

First On Race Day

 

Kind of gets me thinking...

We've had some time to really put these new import-trucks to the test, mileage and useability-wise. Now that trucks like the Tundra, Titan and Ridgeline have been around for a few years - anyone know how these trucks are holding up in the real world?

I know those aren't diesel but it makes me wonder nonetheless. Seems like the only thing we really make that's worth a **** anymore is work trucks and hand tools. That's too bad...

 

Found On Road Dead

 

haha Jared thats how you do it huh? Our old diesel tech used to do em in the truck he used to do oil pans in the truck too hahaha. Closest thing i get to doing that is doing a transmission on a 4x4 expedition.

The new 6.4s are the same thing cab has to come off. We don't really do diesels we don't have a diesel tech but we do mostly municipalities so we wont be out of a job unless Ford stops making the P71 hahaha. We get all the high mileage rusted cars. Last yr we did a motor i think on a mass pike truck. The whole front half of the radiator (no joke now) between the radiator and i forgot what else was filled with sand/salt. We ended up poking a hole in the radiator trying to get all the salt out of there. I get cars with 171k miles that need valve seals and just today had an 06 with 110k miles already.

 

Ill play too hahaha another one is seeing a tailshaft housing shatter off the transmission and break the casing as well. Heres what we see a lot of during rain season.
See anything wrong?



yay ford

Oh and my fav of all time. What happens when you leave your 18mm socket and ratchet on a ford ranger 4cyl motor and start it. Ooops

And huh yea Jared i bet you havent seen this many crown vics in one place huh haha this ones for you bud

 

What the hell happened to the first one blue?

 

What does this tell you? ..... Buy a Toyota.

 

ranger hydrolock. At one point we had 5-6 cars that needed motors. The funny thing is the air ram sits behind the headlight so idk how the hell that happened lol

 

I like Toyota's... But I will never own one. Ill stick with American. The Tundras are coming out with a Diesel power plant. All the big 3 1/2 tons will have v-6 diesel power plant as well. Even the STI willhave a diesel.
