The newest truck
5 Attachment(s)
Many of you seen my last truck, a Burgundy 04 Crew Cab. I was just overall unhappy with the truck and was afraid it was getting the dreaded diesel sound that is due to bad cam phasers. Well i finally decided to pull the trigger on a truck i found online on another forum.. Super nice truck with no Diesel sound out if the 5.4 lol. Super nice 04 Lariat Scab with 74k miles. I met up with the guy, looked all around it, listened to it, drove it and want it lol.
Picking it up soon, awaiting for my credit union to get the title to the truck. The guy is with the same credit union as me and refinanced the truck about two weeks ago and our credit union is awaiting the title from his old credit union. Once it comes in, i pick it up. Spray in bedliner Tonneau 35" BFGs 20" f150 stock wheels Tan Leather interior Fully loaded offroad lights behind grille 2.5"and leveling kit Spark plugs changed (heck yeah) New battery 2010 f150 E-fans in place of clutch fan sct tuner with two custom tunes flowmaster 40s with true duals and x-pipe airbags on rear for towing Brake controller Oem Tow mirrors Clean carfax!

well changed out the passenger side exhaust manifold Saturday and it was NOT fun
Well we got her done, 7 hours for the first time ever doing it, and you guys were RIGHT! it was a major PITA. Luckily we were 8 for 8 on the studs, none broken, they all actually looked really good (no rust) The culprit was the very back port on the passenger side, gasket fail. However, it got new everything, studs, manifold, gaskets, etc.... Had the inner fender fender liner out and top 4 studs out within 45 minutes. Bottom studs were a different story, you couldnt even see the front bottom two for the most part. plus you had to work blind behind the strut tower. Top starter bolt was a pain as well! Also for anyone attempting this, you BETTER have access to a Fine Tooth Snap On Rachet that has moving head or you will be cussing the studs Steps we took: 1) Jack truck up 2) remove tire and inner fender 3) Start removing studs. Back two can be removed with a ratchet, front tow, use a 13mm wrence (gear wrench would be great) 4) Once you remove top 4, time for the fun to begin. 5) unbolt flange from bottom of manifold 6) remover converters if possible (i had to cut the pipe right after last converter and slide the converter section down because the only path for the manifold to come out is the hole where flange is. Having it rewelded this morning. 7) Remove starter (top bolt sucks, having a second person viewing fron up top is a must so you can have them guide you where the darn bolt it 8) start loosining the bottom studs by whatever means possible and PRAY you dont break a bottom one, or you MAY BE pulling engine. 9) take the big engine mount nut off and jack engine up as far as it will let you 10) fish out manifold best you can 11) clean matin surface up good, and put all the studs in BUT the bottom front two or three (clearance issues) 12) once all studs are in, place new gaskets on the studs, the studs will hold them 13) fish in the new manifold and place on studs, then put a few nuts on a few of the studs to hold in place 14) place remaining two or three studs in remaining holes 15) once all studs are in, tighten nuts on studssnug, then starting from front to back tighten top and bottom at same time (one person up top and one underneath) 16) let engine down put engine mount nut back on 17) put starter back on 18) mount up converter section you moved and bolt up the flange 19) put inner fender liner in, bolt up wheel 20) Crank up and listen to a tick free exhaust!! putting those bottom front two studs back in and tightening the nuts on them SUCKED truck going under the knife https://www.f150-forums.com/attachme...ine=1335200835 As you can see, I had a nice gasket failure. There were rust deposits on the mating surface of the exhaust manifold on the rear port. looks like they pushed up the gasket and allowed the gasket to bend under the extreme heat. https://www.f150-forums.com/attachme...ine=1335200835 also, you see, the studs were in excellent condition, but we put new everything in. these were the top studs https://www.f150-forums.com/attachme...ine=1335200835 |
