What a job! It’s a good thing you are thorough. I hope the owner knows how lucky he is to have you fixing his vehicle. I would cut three sides to access the cage nut. Just less cutting and welding.
Last year, I overhauled the turbos and replaced all the coolant and oil lines in my 2013 F-150 Ecoboost. It was a messy endeavor, and my hands bore the brunt of it. With time and patience, though, the task is completely doable. The trickiest part? Swapping out those coolant line fittings at the rear of the head.
What is the trick to get to the rear coolant line fittings. Ive got the driver side turbo off but am stuck at the rear fitting. Do you need to start drilling down into the engine to create more space?
@@derekschmitz1047 Removing the driver's side rear head coolant fitting can be tackled by accessing it through the wheel well with a stubby wrench or by removing parts like the manifold and hoses from the top. It's a challenging task, and using a camera for assistance might make it a bit easier, although it's still a tough job.
@@danielmarjanovic9957 , a 2013, so not much room between the block and firewall. It sounds like the top down is the way to go. Ill tackle the intake manifold tomorrow and see what space that affords me. The coolant line running back there is really loose so I imagine that fitting is the biggest culprit now for the coolant leak.
Get an induction coil tool for your rusted bolts. I used a cheap ass one from AMAzon and it worked like a charm, the body bolts came right out, no issue.
If the turbos aren’t getting coolant, obviously I’m sure that’s a problem as well, correct. My coolant line was crimped and I keep blowing my driver side turbo.?
Oh man I am not sure. It might be around 20 hours of labor but am not completely sure. I am out of work right now recovering from ankle surgery so I cannot look anything up. Thank you for watching,.
Yeah my Monday already started out like crap. Aftermarket intake on a V10 F350 packrat damage bunch of chewed wires freaking Cactus everywhere. Then I have a rack and a pump to do on a Jetta all good money but I just can't get into it today. Plus the Jetta is all slimy and there's two trucks tore down outside where we normally steam clean stuff when you have an oily mess like this pig
iam selling my ford it is beyond my efforts was proud to wear the ford cap 2018 ego big mistake nightmares back yard fixer over and out how much is it to repair?ufo to the moon.
First off, disconnect every single part on your truck and remove them.
Ok thank you

Thank you very much Bill that is very nice to hear. Welding up the hole for cage nut worked out good this way. Thanks for watching.
That’s a lot of work! Great job Tony.
Thank you Steve, yes a ton of work. I appreciate you watching.
Wow this is Great video
Thanks dude for taking time to show us DIY guy 👍🏻🙏🏻
You are very welcome and thank you for watching.

Good job on this job, I personally have always pulled the cab so those fittings have always been the easiest part for me. Thanks for watching.

And you have to disconnect a disconnect !!! 😂😂😂
Thanks

Thank you and yes I have one but not a cheap one. I have one from inductive Innovations.

Yes the coolant is there to cool the turbo and the oil is for lubricating it.
exactly what I needed. Wish i could pull the cab. Thanks
You can do it without pulling the cab is just much more difficult
@@NutsandBoltswithTonepulling the cab looks just as difficult.
Love the the work please keep it up
Thank you very much. I appreciate you watching. Stay tuned I have some really cool stuff coming.
DID YOU PURCHASE THE 72 INCH US GENERAL TOOLBOX
No I did not however my co worker did. It is a great box and he likes it. Thanks for watching the video
Nice work! Did a long block and both turbos w/ cats a few years back on a Raptor not something I would want to do everyday... Was like 14k jezus
It is a ton of work for sure. Thanks for watching.
Damn didnt realize how much work goes into changing turbo coolant lines
Yeah it is a huge job, make sure you replace all fittings with the lines or they will leak.
what is the estimated cost to do all this?
Oh man I am not sure. It might be around 20 hours of labor but am not completely sure. I am out of work right now recovering from ankle surgery so I cannot look anything up. Thank you for watching,.

Wow bummer about the mess but hey you got plenty of work, that is a good thing. Thank you for watching.
Clean that + cable too...
I would have recommended it but this work was sold from an oil change and the customer could not afford anything else. Thanks for watching.

@@louievarela2573 sorry to hear your asking. I actually do not know what the cost is to do this job
