Keep those intake holes covered... you drop something down a hole, you may regret it later.

 

i was referring to the mileage... lol

 

It's going up, 16,500 a year average and with my daughter in Richmond, even faster it seems.

 

Done right after pic, all went well except I slipped once and snapped the plastic nipple off the map sensor

 

be glad it was the map and not the radiator... its not cheap from ford nor are the aftermarket ones unless you got general oem replacement brands...

 

I looked into the radiator from BPD. Price was not so bad, However the shipping was silly. $150.00 do to the over sized box.

I am very tempted the next time that I will be heading down to let all
the 6.0L people near me know I will be down in SoCal with a side trip over
to BPD. I think if I do $50 each that would save some cash for each person
to spend on more toys.

 

Also after waiting for 2+ days for it to arrive just to find out it's smashed to all hell and you have to reject it.
The last one I did that's what happened. So I ended up down the street at Advance Auto. Not a scratch and only a few bucks more than the one I ordered through Amazon. Quality just as good and have had no issues.
BTW, FedEx delivery has to be the worse.

For what I did, well nothing. I'm stuck working all weekend.

 

UPSP it top dog on the shipping destruction list.
I have a tool that was to be here a week ago. I should be here
today after circling in Portland for a week and don't get me
going on the packages they have crushed. BYW the box that
is now here (maybe) was here more than a week ago but the fools
sent it back to Portland to circle.

Trump should make the Postal Service go private with a no strike clause.

Btw, how tight did those fit in the ports?

 

Not real tight but enough to cover up the holes. They might of been 1" I can't remember now. I have a good memory it's just short. Lol.

 

Loving this design.... flaw

 

theyre all about equal in my opinion... the biggest thing i hate lately is if its residential they have the option to just drop it without obtaining the signatures even if it says sign delivery only on it...

USPS here is just slower than molasses in the state... has been since the govt cutbacks in 2014.. they thought it was a grand idea to consolidate all the mail distribution to one location in the whole state.. (originally we had 6) bad part was the one they consolidated it to was the worst one in the state before.. now its even worse.. even stuff mailed to somewhere within the same city now has to go aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllll the way to the distribution center and come aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllll the way back for delivery.. mail times are now 1-2 weeks city to city or same city delivery.. stuff from outside the state or leaving the state seems to be pretty quick.. but thats compared to the week-2.. its about 3 days for delivery once it hits that center...

 

Finally, after a weeks worth of an hour here and there after supper, kids activities, etc got the injector reseal project done today. Not a super hard project, but not what I would call something for the beginner either.I would give it a 5 or 6 personally.
She ran like dog doo for the first two minutes whilst the air worked out but after a drive is butter smooth.
I didn't have any bad top seals but some where showing the signs of erosion. I did do the oil rail, passenger side nipple cups were loose.
Went with the HHC viton o-rings on the oil rails and the Alliant injector seal kits.
One thing that struck me as odd was when my son was taking the drivers side oil cups out, he turned the QD fitting out with his fingers. It had worked loose, and that o-ring was about gone from erosion. I did have that side off around 20k miles ago, and that little tiny allen head plug was starting to loosen up as well. I know I would have tightened those but obviously not tight enough. Keep in mind I have the early style log rail.
I can honestly say that between all new seals and those two findings on the drivers oil rail that she does start with more authority hot now. No doubt about it, and I dropped around one % on the hot idle IPR and ICP is down a little more hot idle.

 

ive often thought the same thing when ive looked at mine.. .but seems like someones fixed yours before... on mine its got a stiff plastic brace to keep the wires away from the fan..
