Eh you could keep all of the hydraulic tools away from them too. The good old hand press and a brace and bit works wonders on the attitude. Heck make them dig some hand holes and pike the poles in!!!! They'll be so tired at the end of the day they won't even want to think about messing with your truck!

I like the idea of hand tools only. Lol.

I've got 2 new hires this week on my crew. So I need all the help I can just to be productive

powerstroked08 · Jul 22, 2014

I'm glad I'm not a boss. I like doing the work and not dealing directly with the management. Props to you for that! But I would definately do the hand tools for awhile

Hang in there...I didn't have my truck for over 6 months until a few weeks ago and I often wondered if I would ever get it running right again so trust me, I understand your frustration. My problem turned out being that I got 3 bad "new" HPFPs in a row. After the second HPFP, I kept thinking something else had to be wrong and looked everywhere to find the cause...turns out it was just the replacement HPFP was broke. Now that I got back, I fell in love all over again. FYI I am loving the JHP....hope you get to enjoy it soon.

dont worry-modded six fours will always break. get used to being without the truck every few months...enjoy it in between.

Hey now easy on the 6.4s. They're not that bad. And that's a pretty avatar :toast:

My trucks been modded very midly with no problems knock on wood

Anyone ever had their Hot Side turbo pipe get so hot that it melts the plastic fan shroud when it lays against it. If that's not how it should be what would cause that?

forcefed6.4ford · Aug 6, 2014

Massive restriction down stream from the turbo.

TXlineman83 · Aug 6, 2014

Well the intercooler was pressure tested. Idk if that would also be considered flow tested. I had the boots off and saw no restrictions. After intercooler would be heads. As the rest is pipe and intake right

forcefed6.4ford · Aug 6, 2014

Pressure test is not the same as flow test. If something was plugged in your head I would put $1000.00 on the fact you'd already have valve contact.

TXlineman83 · Aug 6, 2014

Idk. It's was brought to my attention the heat being emitted by the hot side pipe and where it had contacted fan shroud. Just thought I would ask. Thanks. I haven't started the truck for awhile. Today was first time to move it onto a trailer.

To have a rag plugging something. Very likely your ic. I would throw a stock unit on first thing before looking at anything else and see what's what.

yeah I was going to say the same thing.

TXlineman83 · Aug 6, 2014

Ok. Well it's gonna have to wait. I've been transfered and am having to move trailer and truck to new locations

that's what I was thinking. would NOT be the first time.

Seen it plenty of times on trucks making good boost. Typically it's 100* per 10psi plus ambient temp so it not out of the question for the air coming out of the vgt at over 500*
