Posted info on Ford 6.7L cyl head TSB

[GCroyle]

Guys,



Pretty sure someone here posted a TSB about all(?) 6. 7L Fords and a TSB for new ex valves on 1 cyl head. I tried to find it but no luck.



Anyone remember this being posted here on TDR, looking for original thread.



Thanks,



Gary

jgilliot,



Yes, that was it. I just didn't see what I remembered in the title etc.



wingate,



I'm passing along a big thanks and a tip o' the hat to you for helping my best buddy get his Ford worked on per the TSB you posted. He had symptoms that matched the TSB and advised the svc mgr several times including documentation and going higher up on the food chain trying to get a resolution. I read your thread and the TSB and printed it for him, he read it and said humphf, filed it away. Months pass and the truck continues to misbehave, back to dealership, hey guys my truck is doing this and it is the same as the complaint in this TSB. Svc mgr reads TSB, Hummmmpppffff!



OK, we're scheduling your truck, plans are made, parts ordered etc.



The truck was in the shop for 1 month. The repair was delayed for a series of reasons including getting the wrong head gasket I believe 2 times. The correct part finally arrived and the truck was put back together and the next day returned to fix a leak. The truck has only been back for a few days and its status as an effective repair is unknown.



But I want to pass along a thanks to wingate for the info and in particular the TSB, it made a difference.
