Unfortunately with the way so many buyers act as if they're wanting to buy so often they never show up. As a seller, you have to take it when someone shows up with cash. That whole 1 bird in hand is better than 2 in the bush.
Unless less its paid for or atleast a down payment to hold it until a certain day, its first come first serve.
Hey fellas. Need a little help or step in the right direction. I have a 08 f250 that I would like to put a 6.0 in. Obviously the engine harness needs to be changed. What else should I be prepared for? 🤔
thanks in advance
I have a joke for everyone. It's even work and school safe.
The New Secretary
The CEO of a large company was in need of a secretary. He spread ads all over town. A few days later, there was a knock on his door. It was a dog. He had a newspaper in his
mouth. He opened it to the classifieds page and pointed to the ad that the CEO had placed. The CEO was impressed. But he thought it was a joke, so he playfully decided to
test the dog:
- I need a secretary who understands the basics of computers.
The dog went to one of the secretary's desks, climbed on the chair, turned on the router and the computer, in total tranquility. The CEO was amazed, but decided to go further:
- I need a secretary who understands spreadsheets.
The dog quickly opened Excel, grabbed a stack of papers, and started scanning names and contacts. The astonished CEO desperately followed:
- I need a bilingual secretary!
The dog replied:
- Meow.
The compressor clutch coil failed so I had to play the game of replacing it from a little space behind and under the front bumper, and bringing the charge up to spec by the service manual graphs. I didn’t want to spend the money on a replacement compressor, this is a burner car that just turned 260k. All the AC is original - it used to be our daughters car. We’ve put 100k on it.
Unlike a Ford truck, there is not much in the way of DIY stories or videos out there. I’m finding same for the Edge 2.0L. It’s looking like I need to replace its turbo, which in the back of the motor, in front of the right front drive axle.
I hope it keeps working for you Jack. I've never done AC repairs that remained trouble free for extended periods. Just had to add a can of refrigerant to my system after replacing lines, evaporator, and accumulator last spring.
This is a toss-a-way vehicle. It’s got enough room to more around tools I need while getting 23-24mpg of lower priced gas. It needs frequent trans fluid changes to prevent TC chatter, and the trans was replaced at 160k.
I’ve been surprised of the AC integrity on this, much better than all the Ford lineup we have. I’ve had to go through what you describe on our LS.
I’ve never checked the vent temps on this car before, and unlike the newer Ford manuals, it gives the pressure charts to go by. It was so easy to get 40f out of it, I was surprised.
The next project once my nasal surgery is all done with is going to be the turbo on the Edge 2.0L. What a stupid, but common problem to have on these small gas turbo engines. The control wastegate’s shafts and linkage wear out, as well as the flapper itself. And you can’t just replace that part, or the clamped section of that turbo, you have to replace the entire turbo. Which is behind the engine. About a 7.5hr job by the book, so about 15 hours for DIY.
Once you get outside of the truck forums, there a darth of DIY commentary or video.
Watch for coolant consumption as well on that 2.0. Its going to be 1 of 2 spots. Water pump or the head gasket. Despite the block revisions the 4 cyls are still suffering this failure.
The turbo failing being the other common problem. Usually when they go youll see oil consumption because of a failing o-ring in them. Will either blow it out the tail pipe or "force feed" it into the combustion chamber. Be happy its on the back side of the block. When they were on the front it was a much worse job due to the lack of room around them.
Does the 2012s 2.0L have that head gasket issue? Or as much?
I went back to this year as I thought it seemed like 2013 onward was more of an issue. No appearance of oil or coolant consumption. I know it had a trans replacement in the past.
This is a 2 wheel drive, so I haven't figured out yet if I want to remove the turbo from the top, removing the cowl, or if it's easier to do it from the bottom, possibly pulling the driveshaft on the pass side.

This turbo appears is all flapper issue.
ohh i thought you were talking about the newer (20-23) ones. My bad man. Prior to 2015 they didnt have the head gasket issue. It was the block redesign in 2015 that started it. And despite fords claims the 2020 redesign hasnt fixed the issue either.
