I can see why you would want to pull the body for a job like that, having a 2018 f150 eco boost myself ,that was very educational ,thanks guys well done!

[@gregoryprice2593]

I did an engine and transmission swap in my 2001 SuperCrew. Pulling the body off was definitely the way to go. The body bolts on the 10th Gen are pulled from the inside of the cab, but even with that added inconvenience it's the way to go for serious work. Plus it gies you the space to do additional cleaning and painting on the frame and suspension.

I have a question for you. When these motors are replacing a motor are they put back together well? I have an ‘18 that has a relatively bad tap and my dealership has offered to try and get a new motor.. my concern is that although the motor will be new will the having all that work haunt me down the road. I appreciate your thoughts. All warranty work. They don’t want to dig in any deeper to try and diagnose the problem. I’m not sure why. I assume it just cheaper to replace it.

Great video. Just did a motor job in a 2018 F150 2.7L twin turbo. Took bout 2hrs to pull cab (1st time doin it). Was not bad at all, no issues. Got a re-man motor from Ford. We did the turbo's 2 months ago, and then the belt broke the drives the oil pump. Crazy design, but did have 250k miles on it with lots of sludge. Found lots of metal in the intercooler replaced that as well. Got done , test drove truck, really weird noise. Found the new motor from Ford had reversed the PCV valve with the breather. So the PCV was on the L/S valve cover and breather was on the R/S valve cover. Straight vacuum going to the crankcase!!!! Called Ford and let them know, didn't seem to care. Anyway your video's are awesome. BTW I've never seen an engine with so much "stuff" bolted to it as the 2.7L ecoboost. WOW

I remember I used to do this like crazy... the 3 valves had bad injectors in 2006 (If I remember correctly) after Ford switched the vendor for the injectors... These ones would stick open and shrink rods on startup. I ended up replacing short blocks as the repair, and eventually had it down to a 9-10 hour job because the cab/body would come off in about 50 minutes to an hour, depending on the configuration.

So, this past Tuesday I was at Star Ford/Lincoln in Glendale CA getting my 2019 Lincoln Nautilus serviced. The service department was packed with cars and since I already had an appointment and was driving a Lincoln the service tech came right out and took my car for servicing. I guess age and status, whatever that is, has it advantages. When I was leaving about an hour or so later, I had to leave via the service department which was packed with cars getting repaired and when I looked to my right what do I see but a Ford F series with It’s body lifted and chassis on the ground getting it engine replaced. The same way that Brian was doing in this video. They must be watching your videos. Wish I stopped and got a picture.

[@diggy794]

Friend of mine just bought a 1234y a/c machine from snap on, $17000. It does 134 also. Traded in their year old machine and got full price that they payed last year. Only the second shop on our side of town to have one. The other shop gets $500 for vacuum and charge. $70 a pound is his price for Freon. I understand why you’re working around the compressor.

[@AT-wl9yq]

Its not necessary to work around the compressor just because it has yf. The first thing you do on most big jobs like this if evacuate the system. AC lines run all around the engine compartment. The receiver/drier, expansion valve, condenser, etc..., are all under the hood, as well. You have to evacuate the system for any of those parts. Its a closed system that holds pressure. That said, its not an issue on this particular job. If the ac compressor is still bolted to the motor, and the body is up on a lift, its already been done. You can't remove the body without breaching the system at some point.

Funny thing, it is easier to remove body mount bolts than you think unless the frame is severely rusted. Disconnect the hoses, tubes and wires and you got instant access to the engine. The downside is you need a hoist. The other way is to take the front end apart and may require more parts and fasteners to be removed.

I had an 18 f150 super crew with a 5.0 that consumed 2.75 quarts of oil every 5,000 miles. After almost a year Ford agreed to replace the engine at 50,000 miles. Our dealership had it for 10 weeks to do the swap, 3 days after getting it back from the dealership my wife was doing 70 mph down the highway and the steering totally locked up. The truck left the hwy and struck a huge tree totaling the truck. Ford said they sent out an investigator to the tow yard and said they didn't see anything wrong with the steering other than what the accident caused. I will never buy a new Ford again.

Decision to swap at 200k in lieu timing job, roller followers ect was based on being educated here. Long story short. I was bummed out at the uncreating to see 5-20 on the oil fill cap. Motor has 3 yrs unlimited miles warranty w service documentation required. I was expecting to see 5-30 on the cap because Ford installed all the "latest and greatest" parts for the 5 4 3. Issue now is if I run 5-30 it will void my warranty. Bought it new in 04, not in a position to test FMC warranty.

[@coveryourmanhole3271]

YO - I could use a small amount of advice - I performed a cab off on my truck 2013 F150 3.5 ecoboost. I absolutely ws careful on all of the detachments and clearance while removing and placing, but since I put it all back together, I have many codes. I had NO codes to start with, just a HOWLING torque COnverter. Since the cab was off I did the timing set, and both pumps, all the seals. The issue is that I have Advance trac error, downhill assist error, BCM comm issues, ABS comm issues, Power Steering comm issues, inlet air temp high range. I performed the fluid fill of the trans multiple times so the fluid should be gtg, the engine runs fine, except when the errors kick off. I pulled every plug that was involved, cleaned with QE Electrical Parts cleaner, then applied dilectric grease. All connections clicked and no pins are bent. I cannot see how so many systems are messed up. Do I need to clear the ECM with the grounded jumper method to reset things? Im a tad reserved about that reset without guidance, as the situation is already shight. I cleaned every sensor for the turbos and intake. I havent checked or changed the wheel speed sensors yet, nor made sure the transfer case was perfectly filled. Can I get some ideas? Love the channel, wouldnt have dome the timing set without you.
