you picked the correct trucks to specialize in those power chokes are always coming apart LOL

Awesome Joe!!! Awesome!!! cant wait till i get a real truck like a D-Max and... ohh wait Nah thats right you wont be fixing it like you do those power-jokes!!! BAHAHA kidding buddy nice work. now send us some pics of that fuckin thing pulled apart!!!!

Kool Joe! Looks like your having fun!

nice truck. If its from methuen i know the kid and see it around all the time

Yeah I always see him around home depot and think its Ronnie's old truck, but its not... I dont know who's that is ^

Damn, the cab has to come off to do head work?

Its Nick Duprius or how ever you spell his last name lol

yup my buddy nick dupuis owns it

the head gaskets can be done with the cab on but its a nightmare, taking the cab off is pretty simple and makes working on the engine so easy.

motor torn down

4 fuckin bolts per cylinder on a god damn diesel. WTH Inter-Trashional!!!

Yeah at my old work they used to lift the whole fuckn body of the truck off the frame to do headgaskets on those. I been under there those motors are strange O.o

yup that is standard procedure to do head gaskets on these trucks, i wouldnt do it any other way. what dealer did you work at kevin/

I worked at Regan Ford in Haverhill from 06 till this summer. I did detailing there. I basically helped out any department picking up cars for sales, grabbing parts, and helped out tech's in the body shop and service dept. when I had no details to do. I miss that job and learned a lot about body work there. Things just got really dead over there and they cut me back to 1 day a week so I had to leave and got a job at the carwash. Now work has picked up significantly since Walls is gone. Oh well...

haha you must have saw my truck when it was in there in 08 for a trans then. we get all of our parts from regan, they treat us well and their parts guys are pretty good. my dad and i both used to work for walls, i worked in salisbury as a salesman, my dad worked at both locations doing diesel work.

You know Kenny? Hes the man!

If its a 6.0 doesnt that make it a ford motor not a International?

the 6.0L powerstroke is made by international, international calls it the vt365. the 6.4L powerstroke also uses 4 bolts per cylinder and holds up very well, that engine is based off the 6.0L design. do 4 bolts per cylinder provide enough clamping force? id say so, you just need to use the right hardware.

Hmmm now to remember who told me the 7.3 was the last inter. motor made for ford...

the last international to go in a ford is the 6.4L due to ford and int parting ways, ford designed and built their own diesel for the next model year.

we shale see I have not seen a manufacture build a good diesel yet

Ahh then thats what it was he told me. Hence the new scorpion diesel?

yes scorpion was the code name for it, the official name is the 6.7L powerstroke

I own a 2002 F350 4x4 7.3L and love this truck!
