Done. I believe the extension that @JaySVX mention was actually a deep 10mm socket, but you can also do it with an open wrench. I also wish I listen to @packagerjr and remove the battery tray that is also air filter support. It would have saved me a few scratches on my hands. I also wish the Chinese part would also have one steel reinforcing ring on the short synthetic connector.

 

I got mine in/out in seconds, removing the upper radiator overflow line was required though. Still easier than removign the battery and battery tray. The lower tube is much easier with a 10mm deep socket plus 18" extension but if you only have an open end, it's entirely possible.

 

The up side of pulling the tray is then you can check the ground connection to the frame and clean it if it is needed,

 

I had a very similar issue on my way home from Asheville, NC to Columbus, OH on Labor Day. The CAC boot at the turbo kept popping off. Truck oil got a little warm going up a few hills stuck in traffic going about 30mph. At the top of the hill, traffic opened up with another lane, and I got on it a little to get around some semi's. BAM, SPOOSH, no power. Super hot at the turbo while working on the side of the road. Took the CAC boot off, cleaned it and tightened her back down. Happened about 5 more times over the next 150 miles. Roll into Lexington for Dinner, let the truck cool down. Get the boot off one more time, clean it crank it down. Kept the boost under 10psi the rest of the way home, so about 55, and 45 up hills. The wife was calling every parts store/dealer anywhere close. Ordered a Riff Raff hot side kit on my way home, going to install tomorrow when it arrives.

It never seems to happen when you are running around town, and only happens when you are 100+ miles away from home, on a holiday or sunday night... Glad you got her home, and hopefully it didn't ruin your trip!

 

After I fixed the intercooler pipe I went back to Michigan and brought my RV back to Ohio. Half way back the bellow came off. Fortunately I was close to a Turnpike exit, stopped at a gas station and clamped it back.Now, 3 months later I have another issue; looks like cylinders missing; when I accelerate it jerks. The worst is when it's cold. Used an old scanner (mechanic told me is not that good on diesels) and I got P2262 (turbo Boost Pressure Not Detected). Could this be a left over from my previous turbo “adventure” or does this code also fit the choking/missing I am experiencing now? We deleted the code and I will limp with the truck to work and back tomorrow so we can see if the code shows up again. What else could cause this? I already changed fuel filters and oil with no result. I’ll be ordering the blue spring kit for the Fuel PR (any source recommendation anybody?) I didn’t think a turbo issue will be so temperature dependent. 105300 miles, I spent a bit this year, new coolant, transmission oil, new belt was my 100K present for the truck.

 

Bad injector(s). Fuel filter & oil does not solve many issues on the 6.0L. And an old scanner is just going to send you down a path of lost money.

Get Forscan or Torque for your cell phone and an adapter for the OBD to interface or everything is just a wild guess on any modern motor. I'd check fuel pressure before I'd buy a fuel pressure regulator kit.

 

Thank you TooManyToys. I see that Forscan is not an OBDII system and they claim their system is more sophisticated with more capabilities. At the same time I see post claiming people with 2007 SuperDuty having problems with the Forscan system. Is there a scanning system optimum for both 2007 6.0 L manual F350 and 2019 Gas F250 6.7L? I am ready to order; I'll never have enough tools.Also, do bad injectors change the engine sound? I’m not sure if all this makes me paranoid but I started hearing noises, some sounding like a whistle and some like knocking valves.

 

OBD2 compliant is a motor vehicle standard. >>> https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...aAW4gp4kCEcB-B

Now you do have to have a human interface of some kind. So in comes the cheap auto parts stores readers. Most are only setup to give the generic info
and when you start getting into body or transmission codes they can have problems. They are very limited and quite a few times will give you a generic code.
The PID# will likely be correct. However the fault that caused it might not agree between the reader and the vehicle. With Ford we have some extra stuff
that you need a tool that can read the Ford specific codes. To read ot all you need a more sophisticated tool that can read all the modules. Forscan from what
I understand will do quite a lot with the correct interface. The laptop version is said to be a more robust set of tools. With all of them you will need one of the ELM
devices to interface the computer/smartphone/tablet to the vehicle. The ultimate tool for Ford vehicles is the VCM or VCM2 with IDS software. The down side to it is the
cost of the interface and the on going yearly software subscription cost. There ways around that. The first one that comes to mind is the 3 or 5 day license or
the clone unit from China. With the real tool from Rotunda (Motorcraft Tool Devision) you get there support and if your running a shop and making money that is
really the only way to go. Now for the DIY Guy/Gal there is the clone. BUT your out on your own mostly. Some sellers on Ebay once they have your $ and you have
the kit that is all you get. Youtube does have some how to but not much on depth. Some sellers of clone systems will stay around and help as best as they can.
But you will not be able to get new programming strategies unless you have someone that can get them for you.

For you wanting to cover both your 6.0L and a newer 2019 the clone should work along with Forscan. The nice thing about something like Forscan is you can get a
Smartphone/Tablet and use the FLM device. That way your not packing so much costly gear around for some dirtbag to steal from your truck.

If you do some searching around here on FTE for Forscan Autoenginuity and Clone VCM2 IDS. You will find posts on all of them and in the case of Forscan and
some of the other smartphone apps. You will also find users that know the systems and are willing to help.


I forgot to mention the tool from Autoenginuity. You still need a laptop and the Ford bundle with it. It so far does not do a very good injector test.The uncompensated
power balance will come back as good even if you have a very sick injector. That said I would think that they would be on top of the newer engines and systems.

If you have a laptop running windows, you can download the free Forscan and use this cable I recently got (needed to enable some things in a friend's 2018 F150) -- works terrific!:

Scott, Somehow I ended up with what I think are some ELM devices. Looks
to be a total of four. My connection in China out some extra items in one of
the orders some time ago and while on the cleaning mission of death I found
a bag of diagnostic things.One of the not quite sure what is does things. The
clamshell that it's in says increases power and HP. Not sure about that one.

 

Don't know what those might be. A couple years ago I bought a hardwire OBD adapter to USB (OBDlink SX) to use with Torque, but I could never get it to connect -- it works fine with Forscan though. Problem is it can't talk to all the busses -- that's why I went and bought the one I linked to above -- it allows toggling between high speed and medium speed and thus if you sign up for a temporary "developer license" (free) with Forscan, you can enable or disable a whole bunch of stuff!

I'd be afraid to plug in a China "increases power and HP" into anything but a dead car!!

Take care,
Scott

 

Scott do you know who Big Clive on Youtube is?
He took a look at one and thought it was more or less blinking lights.

Found it.

 

OOPS he has two of them.

 

I like the 2nd one! It must communicate over the vehicle's 12V bus!!!

Diesel Dan, I got the cable you mentioned for the windows Forscan. Do I need a driver for it as per the note in the package, or should I just download Forscan and plug cable/laptop in the truck? I coudn't find the driver on the Shenzhen Black Butterfly Technology Co., Ltd link they provide. They do offer some stuff if you purchase membership or something similar.
