    FICM or What?

    Thanks! They said they could see the coolant on the back side of the engine. So far they have been very straight up. I went and delivered the bolts/studs today and they showed me the engine on the stand, and where it had oil/coolant leaking. Still costs me 435.00 shipped for the studs...

    FICM or What?

    Well, the saga continues in my favor I guess. The dealer called me today and turns out they discovered a head gasket failure while inspecting the engine while it was out, so I bought the ARP set, FedEx should deliver tomorrow. So now the labor is on Ford! Hopefully I will have it back...

    FICM or What?

    Well as far as willingness to work with me, and be sensitive to any mods I have done, they seem very fair. I have has an SCT on the truck early on since about 12K miles. But I removed it months ago. I don't get on the truck or act stupid. It is a big grocery getter. The truck has warranty...

    FICM or What?

    The engine is out because of an oil leak in the bed plate seal. So I asked them how much would it be to put the studs in and they told me normally the job calls for 22 hours but since the engine was out they told about 10 or 11 hours or about 900.00

    FICM or What?

    What I thought I would do, is give the mechanic a nice tip anyway. But if you went in and had your power steering pump replaced under warranty, would you pay for fluid, or shop supplies? I understand your point and I wasn't abrasive to them, they did agree to put the studs in, but they...

    Head Studs while engine is out?

    I talked to the tech, and basically he said the job calls for 22 hours, but since the engine is out, 10 hours so 900.00 in labor. I passed on that, I still have a warranty and if head gasket failure happens they will just have to fix it then. A shame though, because they know they will...

    FICM or What?

    Well I let them go ahead. They gave me an 09 F-150 to drive, and the truck is supposed to be done Wednesday, unless I talk to them about doing ARP studs. He said the only thing I would have to pay is for an oil change because they have to drain the oil, etc. to fix leak. I thought that was...

    Head Studs while engine is out?

    Thanks for the replies, Any idea what they would charge me? I don't think they are removing the heads while they fix this oil leak.

    Head Studs while engine is out?

    I recently posted a thread in the forum that the dealer is pulling my engine to fix the bed plate seal. Should I have tried to make a deal with mechanic or service advisor (he is cool) about putting some head studs in at the same time? Thanks, Scott 2006 6.0 F-350 Long

    FICM or What?

    2006 F-350 - 28K Miles No Programmer Turbo Back Duals No Cat I want to see what everyone thinks, a couple weeks ago I went in a store and left truck locked and running (about 35 outside). Came outside after about 15 minutes and engine was not running. I shut it off, restarted. It ran for...

    boost p.s.i...???

    My truck for some reason never gets over 10 on either gauge (stock or Autometer). Also gas mileage has taken a turn for the worse and I just got a CEL. I checked the codes and I got an EGR Flow Insuffecient P0401 Sounds like trouble huh? Scott 2006 F-350 Super Crew Lariat Long

    Volant HELP

    Did you end up removing the battery or anything? I just can't maneuver it in there. Also did you just connect the Volant elbow to stock turbo inlet hose with no trimming? Thanks,

    Volant HELP

    What is the deal with this thing. I recieved it today and I know it is supposed to be straightforward but something like the battery must be removed to make room during install. There are no tips or instructions to aid in this install. I have loosened the degaus bottle but still not enough...
