Been driving my truck for a couple weeks now. Still got some kinks to work out but so far I love it. I bought my truck in Feb of 2011 with 96k on it. The dealership said they took the drivers head off to do headgasket so when I got it, it had quite a few issues. Replaced 2 injectors right off the bat, replaced they're sad excuse for a EGR Delete with another one, then ended up taking heads off to do headgaskets. The dealership screwed me over to say the least. Truck doesn't even have 110k on it yet! The piston you see in the pictures is in fact on the drivers side which is the head they took off, they sent me the truck knowing the engine was shot! Here's the specs of my truck and engine:
Truck:
04 F250 lariat FX4
under 109k when swap started
Engine:
94 ppump 12v
unknown miles
4k gov spring kit with 60lbs exhaust springs
hx35 turbo
ARP 12mm studs
all new gaskets and seals, only thing I didn't touch was cank, cam, and
internal pump
Grinded stock fuel plate to a #0
other free mods
I can't even remember what else I put into this engine lol
Still need injectors and to advance the timing.
Christmas came early!
Cobalts!
Kept the Torqshift, used Precision torque converter which required replacing a spring in the pump.
Before...
After!
The only issues I've had with the swap so far are oil leaks. I had to reweld the oil return on the turbo, the adapter for the oil pressure sender is leaking, and I think I have another leak somewhere that I can find. Plus I still have to tune the trans more.
