Please help I have a 2006 F-250 6.0 I can run truck for 20 minutes or all day and it runs great but the minute I turn it off it won’t turn on anymore. In have to wait another 45 minutes for it to turn on again please help!
We did a bunch at a used car lot and used a wrecker boom, slings and a simple spreader bar fabbed from scrap. I've done three for myself just using jacks, cribbing and pipe. Cab swaps beat bodywork and if say a titled half-ton cab happens to land onto a one ton rolling chassis that would (hypothetically of course) do wonders for tax and insurance rates.
One good thing to do is replace the flexible brake hoses as well, especially if you have a stuck caliper. Cheap insurance to give better life to new brake parts.
Really good camera work and very descriptive don’t see this much on RU-vid sometimes so it’s nice to have a good tutorial gonna try this out tomorrow! Thanks man!!
Good thinking I see you’ve placed what looks like a 4x4 beam through the cab on the structure metal of the door frame, with the doors removed. I think everyone’s concerned with using a strap with the doors still on the cab. I’ve heard horror stories of people wrecking cabs and doors. I wonder if this would be safe for a four door cab someone try it and let us know
HOPE ALL IS WELL IM RESTORING A '97 F250 DO YOU HAVE A VIDEO OF YOU REMOVING AND REPLACING YOUR DASH AND WIRING COMPONENTS IN YOUR NEW CAB? THX FOR THE HELP
2 questions. 1. When I lookup the PO683 it said that the error was a communications error with the PCM. Is that the same thing that your scanner was saying? 2.Can you test the glow plugs thr connector that plugs into the glow plug control module? Just thinking that could help rule out any wiring issues in the system if I need to test the glow plugs
Sure can and it's done all the time using two post lifts but I've done them with no lift, just pipes and cribbing. A cab only needs to CLEAR the rolling chassis for a swap. Chassis roll nicely on bare rims if ya need the clearance. Just good old redneck engineerin',
Hey I have 03 my wait to start light goes out real fast even in dead of winter and my batteries are going dead in matter of 2 or 3 days. Could my glow plug modular be bad?
should you disconnect the negative on the left battery? also would this code make a scanner show glow plugs being an issue to? I have this P0638 code and some for the glow plugs, but truck cranks up good.
How about a come along? Got a perfectly good in the tool box. Single cab and same body style as yours should be light enough to be picked up like that. Gonna pull everything and paint the frame before rust gets any worse.
this i think is actually the best way. When u replace the up pipe portion, it doesn't have the rigidity from that extra mounting point to the cooler and you actually end up breaking the other bellows. then you go a leak. Doing it this way leaves the extra support from the cooler being mounted.
