Cab off for turbo repair!! Pictures..

[Sandman]

These are pictures of my truck when the cab was lifted off the frame to repair a leaking oil feeder line on the turbo





Love my 7.3!!!!!

On Edit.. Not my truck... was in a hurry & didn't make it clear... the "my truck" line is from the photo website..

Sorry... before you can steal pictures from another site, you have to be smarter than the pictures..

I believe the 6.0 in some situations the cab has to come off as well,thanks for sharing the photos of your cab off

That's not Sandman's truck (he's got a 7.3) but it's still scary for the DIY-types...

out of curiosity, ask the shop how much that would cost post-warranty. This is the primary reason I do not intend on owning a 2008 model.

Do they also take the cab off to service it??

WOW, i wouldn't want to have the cab lifted too many times. Seems like things would get loosed up and squeek alot over time.

I've heard more than one Ford technician claim that's it's ridiculously easy to cab-off an F-series truck

Easy, that is, if you're getting paid in the neighborhood of $100 an hour (the stealership that is), you have a fully equipped shop and are very practiced at the task from performing it on a nearly daily basis.

Myself, I don't have a vehicle lift in my driveway to lift a cab off a frame. Nor will I pay someone that kind of money to do so. The job should be totally performable from under the hood had the design engineers done a half-arsed decent job in first place.

I love my 7.3, but I don't plan on buying another Ford diesel pickup until they go back to logical, common sense design practices.

FLAME SUIT ON: I hate to say it, but a Dodge Cummins is looking more attractive as time goes by.

When did you get an 08? How do you like it so far? other than the turbo thingy....

By the model-year interval from your previous truck to your current ride, you won't be getting an '08 until 2019 so I wouldn't worry about maintenance on an '08 for a while ...
