Well I have been a busy guy this week.
2 in a row
The guy across from me just finished a short block today

This is from the closest cab up fell under new TSB 12-11-11
This TSB is a joke

From the furthest one
No crank
Spun mains and broken exhaust valves 42k miles

Piece of junk

And

Whats the TSB about, i saw it posted but i didnt hear what the actual problem is.

mostly chassis cab tricks? or both?

Dieselcraft · Nov 29, 2012

Mostly chassis cab early build.
The ***d up head was a regular truck.
The TSB says
A check KOEO if glow plug dtc
Remove glow plug-damaged glow plug=replace long block

No other labor ops allowed in TSB so it pays 18.3hrs

Oh wow lol. Sounds like they know they have issues with some.

IM not worried about mine... And *** it its got warranty lol

We see all C&C trucks, no pickup motors yet. Lol seems like we won't do one for a while then 3 will come in

Can't believe the c&c trucks are that much different Ford didn't think that all the way thru it seams. Our dealer has done two engines so far both c&c from what I understand and both car hauler trucks

From what I was told, there valves were different, or those motors got bad exhaust valves. There turds to drive though. 100hp less.

Dzchey21 · Nov 30, 2012

100 HP less and more likely to have issues... Never thought I would hear that lol

Dieselcraft · Nov 30, 2012

There de rated like a mo fo.
We have seen more spun mains and rod bearings with the retail trucks

Dzchey21 · Nov 30, 2012

Wonder why the bearing issue

Dieselcraft · Nov 30, 2012

Oh you don't know.
Welcome to the FoMoCo way
Tangles bearings
I asked a Ford Service engineer he said the bearings are to the crank
Like normal but tangles
A ***ng Joke
So for a stock truck you got tiny rods and some problems

Dieselcraft · Nov 30, 2012

Here's a 6.7 out the front

Here's what the customer handed us

Smokin6-0 · Nov 30, 2012

I assume these are unmodified trucks?

Dieselcraft · Nov 30, 2012

Yes this is at my day job

I will be showing this to my uncle. I tried to convince him to get a regular 350 but he wanted the cab chassis because he wanted a flat bed

I have a 2012 F450 C&C with a large utility bed and I just rolled 400 miles on it so far (it's that new). Not sure why everyone thinks these trucks are dogs, mine gets it pretty well. Not as snappy as my 250 I can admit, but this 450 with the 4.30s out back ain't no slouch, even with weight. Down low it's a bit soft coming out of 1st, but no doubt about its pull up top. Hope the truck has many miles ahead of him... I got things to do lol
