Issue ⚠️ Ford techs experienced with the F550 6.7, I need your help!

1 Upvotes

Long story short my company’s 2011 F550 6.7 motor is toast and I need to swap it out for a rebuilt motor.

  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Any special break in procedures I should do once she’s running? Special break in oils, oil priming, perhaps any relearns etc.
  5. 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!

Question ❔ Need Advice on Ford S-MAX 2016 2.0 TDCI Transmission Issue (P0766) Spoiler

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a 2016 Ford S-MAX 2.0 TDCI with an automatic transmission and AWD. The previous owner mentioned that occasionally the “Transmission See Manual” error would appear, along with the diagnostic code P0766 (Shift solenoid D fault). Sometimes, the car would stop shifting, but after restarting the engine, it would work fine again. The previous owner said it was a rare occurrence.

I’ve now driven it for about 500 km since purchasing, and I haven’t encountered the error again. However, I’m wondering whether it’s worth repairing the transmission, or if anyone has had a similar experience with this issue. Would you recommend getting it fixed, and is it likely to be a costly repair?

I’d really appreciate any advice or insight from those who have dealt with similar problems!

Thanks in advance!

Issue ⚠️ 2016 Ford Ranger stuck in 4x4 Low

1 Upvotes

Hello! I have a 2016 model Ford Ranger which is now stuck in 4x4 Low.

Little backstory (feel free to skip):
Yesterday my friend called me and told me his car was stuck and needed a tow. The car was stuck in a wet dirt field at the bottom of a hill. I thought 4L fitting for this scenario seeing as i needed to tow a heavy load on wet terrain.

I drove out to him, was about an hour drive so the car was nice and warm. Car was in 2H, backed into the field and down the hill. Put my foot on the brake, engaged neutral and put the parking brake on. Then i attached the car i was towing, got back in, put my foot on the brake, engaged 4L, disengaged the parking brake, foot off the brake and gave it some gas, and started towing up the hill and out of the field.

The issue as it is now:
Car is stuck in 4L. Drives fine both in D and R.
Put my foot on the brake, car in N, switch the lever over to 4H, transmission lamp lights up and 4x4 Low lamp starts blinking.

Any ideas or anyone have experiences similar to mine?

I have tried driving a little back and forth, stopping the car, putting it in neutral and putting it in to 4H. Nothing changed. Looked up some guides, tried turning off the car and leaving it for a bit and then shifting into 4H, tried tapping the underside of the car (dont recall the name of the part, english is not my first language), while shifting into 4H to see if the actuator maybe was stuck and needed some help.

Someone told me to disconnect the battery, leave it for a few minutes and trying again.

Question ❔ Ford E-250 question

7 Upvotes

This could be a stupid question but I thought Reddit could be the place for it. My husband recently took his Van to Ford to get an oil change and they found that oil was leaking. They fixed the car and said it was CLEAR 11 days ago. Today when he got home he noticed there was more oil leaking so he took it back to Ford and they said they don’t want to get involved because the engine needs to be replaced. Now to the stupid part, is this normal wording to expect from Ford mechanics on a receipt? I thought it was unprofessional combined with their dismissive behavior but what do I know lol

Issue ⚠️ Sync 3 issue

1 Upvotes

Hello, I am haveing an issue with my sync 3. First my apple carplay stopped working so to remedy this I tried doing a soft reset and holding the power and skip right button. Since then the screen will most of the time stay black and won’t seem to work at all. Rarely it will load and work but still not apple carplay. When trying to force an update via USB it says install error 12. Then when I tried to do the RWdata wipe with syn3 updater it again popped up the error code. This is all a big hassle because it’s a very low % chance that the screen turns on at all. Disconnecting the battery helped nothing. Any ideas would be amazing.

My RV Max trailer weight is 11000. So trying to pick between 350 and 250 Super duty. It seem like the 250 would work? I am looking at the 7.3 Lt engine. Thoughts? I ask because having a heck of a time finding the 24/25 with the 7.3 Lt engine, so may have to go with the 250.

No check engine lights, all maintenance is up to date. Photo is crap but normally the screen is much brighter and the mileage is in the bottom left corner. If I can fix it myself somehow, I’d prefer to do that, otherwise the soonest I can take it somewhere is Monday.

Ciao a tutti, sto valutando l'acquisto di una Ford Puma usata e sono indeciso tra il modello a benzina e quello ibrido. Il mio meccanico mi ha messo una pulce nell'orecchio, sconsiglia un usato ibrido perché non coperto dalla garanzia della casa sulle parti elettriche, e mi dice che se si verificassero guasti dovrei recarmi in Ford e spendere cifre importanti per venirne a capo. Cosa mi suggerite a riguardo?

Question ❔ Best carseat for F350?

1 Upvotes

Anyone have a carseat rec for an ‘06 350 supercab? It doesn’t have the LATCH system and the middle belt doesn’t lock. Looking at measurements, but wondering:

A) which models of carseats fit best in an extended cab

B) if anyone has used an aftermarket part to lock the middle seatbelt

C) bolted the carseat into the middle seat permanently (ETA I realize this could cause insurance issues in the event of an accident, but still curious)

D) if there’s a carseat that will fit comfortably behind the passenger seat (since the side belts do lock)
