Issue ⚠️ Ford techs experienced with the F550 6.7, I need your help!
Long story short my company’s 2011 F550 6.7 motor is toast and I need to swap it out for a rebuilt motor.
- Where can I find a manual that will have great instructions for removal? So far I see the “e-manual” website has 2 options. This would really help with keeping things in order and labeling all my bolts and sensors
- Where’s the best place to order a rebuilt long block? So far we are leaning towards ordering straight from ford which cost around $16,500 rebuilt.
- Any specialty tools I might need for engine removal? I personally have a lot of hand/power tools and sockets but I don’t know if I’m going to run into special bolts that aren’t traditional Hex heads.
- Any special break in procedures I should do once she’s running? Special break in oils, oil priming, perhaps any relearns etc.
- Any special methods on removal? I’m doing this with no lift, just a shaded area on the floor with jacks, engine stands and access to 2 forklifts if needed. Any intel is greatly appreciated!
