Incredible you were able to get to the rear fittings. Plenty of videos on pulling the turbo but all of them say it’s impossible to get to the fittings on the back of the block. I couldn’t find a mechanic in my area who would replace the fittings without pulling the motor. Great job!

Just a tip, you can totally pull these through the passenger side wheel well with a pic a 19 mm and a little patience. Takes about an hour

Using the trashcan as a table to lay on is a great idea. I always lay a blanket or two down as well to make it more comfortable.

It never gets "comfortable", just less painful while reaching back & down behind the intake manifold, between the encroaching firewall & engine rear. Its a torture alley.

It's crazy how many videos I've seen how many of these guys that don't pull the intake to make those fittings way easier to get to. I personally pulled the cab. I replaced all the lines and all fittings not just one or two of them.

No need to do more work than is needed, also not in the budget at the time to do them all. I couldn’t find info on these so I posted them best way I found possible to do so.

Why would you pull the cab? It's super easy to pull the passenger side wheel well and get to them that way. It only takes like an hour to do.
@jghall00 Жыл бұрын
I heard you can get to the passenger side fitting by removing the vacuum pump, and the driver side by taking off the coolant crossover. You're much braver than me. I'm sending mine to the shop for manifold and coolant lines. Can't have it down for all the days this would take me.
@swrvtech Жыл бұрын
It can turn into a bigger job quick if you replace all of the fittings. Thankfully only the one line was leaking at the turbo and engine so I just replaced those to save time and money.
@millenniumvlog64974 ай бұрын
Better off removing oil vacum pump, the well and use the long pick. With curve on the end. Glue a small make up mirror or any small one. I have two daughters so plenty of little mirrors😂 . to the fire wall . Pop the click with long pick with a curve on the end. and use 19 mm and 30 minutes if it’s your first time. Good luck to all.

Sorry for the delay, it should wiggle right out as it’s just a sealing o ring, we’re you able to get it out?
@MarkSchierling-jy6xz10 ай бұрын
Do you have to loosen the one on the turbo, or can the back come out without doing that. Mine is stuck and can't seem to get it to wiggle out. Clip is out.

nice job! Do you feel like the job would be easier with the valve covers removed? I need to replace leaky covers and thought I'd also pull the intake and clean my intake valves. I have a driver side coolant pipe leaking at the rear. I tried a bottle of barrs leaks sealant and it did work temporarily. I'm thinking it may be easier with top of engine off to change out those fittings. thanks.
@swrvtech10 ай бұрын
Thank you and potentially but more likely for debris to fall into the heads I would think. I would replace your thermostat and flush the entire system once you change the fitting so you can get any of the remaining stop leak out of the system so hopefully it won’t block anything.

I’m changing out the turbos on my f150. After I’m all done do I just add coolant to top it off where it was at and then run the truck with ac and heat to hear it up with the coolant cap off?
@swrvtech Жыл бұрын
Yessir, having the heat on also circulates the coolant through the heater to purge any air, once up to temp put the cap on safely and drive it around and then let it cool and check the level again
