I recently posted on here how my truck wasnt cranking , and found out it was from being low on oil because of an recently discovered oil leak. I took my truck to the Ford dealer and there mechanic said looked like rear main and then they had manager look at it and he is saying that my seals around my turbo are leaking. They are saying it will cost $785.00 to fix. Does anyone have any advice on me changing this myself? Money doesnt grow on trees where I am from and I am not afraid to get my hands dirty. Please Help.

 

I remember the thread. Kind of knew it was not what they said. Glad you found the probblem. I tried to past a link but it won't let me. I'll try again.

Than didn't work, I will try again.

99-03 Turbo Removal & Wicked Wheel Installation .: Articles

 

think I payed $250 to have my turbo installed,which is the same job and you need four o-rings

 

i heard on here to enter the link twice and it works on the second,,i have done this a few times and workes every time.....

01f3507.3L ..the bolts TQ down to 18 ft LB on the turbo and pedistal..

 

I had to click edit then go advance then it worked. I tried a few times in just the edit screen but once I went to the go advanced screen, it worked.

Thanks Ron, I guess I will figure all this out in time for them to change it again.

 

Rbaker did you just know someone that would help you out. Do you think it is to tough for me to change myself?? If it is I will call around and see if I can find someone to do it in that ballpark price.

 

I got it done an automotive shop
it's realy not a tough job,but with my disabilities I was unable to do it myself

 

I changed mine. Time consuming, but not too bad. The worst part is the C clip on the ebpv. It is on the very back and you pretty much just feel for it. The exhaust clamps may be stuck, but just take a hammer and punch and lightly tap, they will break free.

 

If I am changing these o rings I found a wicked wheel for $77.00 and it comes with the o rings would I be better off just to go ahead and add this while I am in there.

 

it would be a good time to install the WW,just make sure you get four o-rings
2 for pedistal and 2 for turbo

 

If you are planing on doing some of the power mods, it would be a good idea to do it now. If you don't plan on getting something like a DP-TUNER then the stock wheel is better to have as long as it is in good shape.

 

Sorry for not specifying but I am running the Edge Evolution in my truck and the AFE stage 2 airfilter. So I am assuming I should do the WW

 

Ok, a couple more post and you can make a sig. That will help out.

 

Oh yea that would be great. I think I am going to attempt fixing this leak myself. If I can save myself $500.00 then I really have no choice. Thanks for the link Rick, that will help out tremendously.

 

Reps to you for DIY. Do it yourself. I will do mine myself also, once I get all the parts rounded up I am about to change.
