In this video we explore what it takes to remove the body for an engine replacement on a 2017 F-150. The big question is it truly necessary, I will let you be the judge.

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.

[@matthewdoerksen1702]

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.

With regards to not scratching the truck body on the truck bed during cab off procedures, once the body is a couple inches off the frame, I like to roll the chassis back a couple of inches to provide more clearance so there is no chance for contact.

[@gman3563]

All that cost and it's still cheaper than a new truck. Though I am surprised they didn't just trade it in when it started having issues

Like you said, it’s a lot cheaper than a new truck. Especially when the truck is so well taken care of.

Hell yeah. New tucks are way too high as well as interest rates. Also in Texas insurance rates are ridiculous! My 2013 went up $30 a month supposedly because claims in Texas are high. I told my agent that my truck is 10 years old and should be getting cheaper not higher.

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.

[@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.

[@johnemanolis]

I appreciate what you are doing. It just reinforces my opinion on keeping my 92 Flareside. Mine has 300,000 and counting. Not 200,000 and going through this.

[@poorhouseracing]

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.

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.

I love that you are going to CLEAN things after the engine is out. That was my biggest disappointment with the lincoln dealer that replaced my 2013 5.0 engine. Then didn't clean anything on the frame. If would have taken very little effort to roll the body out of the shop and pressure wash the exposed frame so its at least a bit cleaner going back together.

[@d9190]

You don’t want to roll the frame out of position too much If you do then it’s going to be a lot more work lining up the body mounts. If the mounts are off center to the right or left then you’re in even more trouble.

Thanks for another educational video. So along the manufacturers warranty line. I have 500 miles on my 04 Ford 5.4 3v factory rebuilt engine swap. 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.

I need this on my 17’ 3.5 eco. Been the worst engine I’ve ever owned.

When I bought my 17 F150 5.0l brand new. They swore up and down I was making a big mistake and tried to talk me into a new gen 2 3.5 ecoboost. They claimed Ford fixed all the issues from the first gen. Thank God i bought the 5.0L. 6 years and not one issue.

@@chrisrossman9566 My fiance bought a new 17 F150 with the 5.0L. She didn't even entertain buying the Eco boost. Her truck only has about 41,000 miles on it and has been trouble free except for the AC compressor clutch came apart one day on a trip. That was almost two years ago and at around 33,000 miles. The dealer had to replace the compressor because none of the independent shops around us had the 1234yf equipment to work on it. Unfortunately, the truck was no longer under warranty, so she had to foot the bill for the replacement which was around $1,100.

Agreed. I should have went with the 5.0. My pops had the 5.0 in his 14 and I should have gone that route too. SMH at myself.
