If the crank bolt isn’t torqued correctly it will damage the crank gear. Which of course is a workmanship issue. But that can easily be confirmed, they’re stating “diagnostics suggest” a “bad” crankshaft. None of that adds up.
“Bad crankshaft”? :rolleyes:
So it was brought in for a phaser noise, right? How did the crankshaft become “bad”, and how are they determining that?
This shop sounds more suspicious with every update.
This one literally states to ignore and clear the DTC.
This is coded under harsh ride/warnings.
I’m very familiar with the messages and bulletins. What I’m saying is they don’t apply unless there is related customer concern. Highlighted in bold in your quoted message.
DTCs will set during normal operation due to network traffic, missed messages, etc. If there is no concern related to those DTCs then there is nothing to disgnose.
The dealer cannot perform diagnostics, updates, or repairs based on a DTC with no symptom.
Yes, if a valve spring breaks it will often cause the retainer to come off and the valve drops into the cylinder. That causes catastrophic engine damage.
Maybe someone here can recommend a good aftermarket upgrade from factory, I’m only familiar with the OEM parts.
Can’t hear anything in the video so just going by your description.is the truck completely stock? It sounds like the shop was throwing parts, the only way to accurately pinpoint a noise that can’t be diagnosed by ear/feel is by using chassis ears. Basically a microphone that mounts to a...
These engines have a bad habit of randomly breaking valve springs at higher mileage, so since you’re in there already it would be a good preventative repair.
Depends who’s doing the remanufacturing. If it’s through Ford it will have all new current service level parts. If it’s an aftermarket it’s a gamble, some only replace what is “broken” and reuse the rest.
Japanese “reliability” is a farce. Honda can’t even keep head gaskets on their junk, never mind the 9 and 10 speed transmission failures and direct injection issues.
If it was overfilled with fuel at some point the raw gas will enter the EVAP canister and cause repeat purge valve failure.I’d suspect that’s what you have going on, that will require replacement of the EVAP canister.
There are a lot of workmanship possibilities here. First, has the shop done this repair before? Meaning they’re competent and have all the necessary special tools? The torque spec on the crank bolt is critical; if it was improperly torqued, the crank gear will crack and it will have noise in the...
No. They are only intended to be serviced during an engine repair, such as turbocharger replacement.
They do not filter oil like a conventional oil filter, it’s just an inline mesh screen. If they are contaminated with debris or metal, that’s the result of neglect (poor maintenance) or a larger...
Coincidentally, Ford just released a bulletin this past week with addition PDI checks and labor time for 2024 F-150/Raptor and Ranger/Raptor. The bulletin specifically calls out checking the tailgate appliqué for warpage among other check’s. So apparently they’re well aware of the appliqué issue...
Never heard of a Corolla being called a “sporty little thing”; they make a late 80’s J-Body feel like a sports car in comparison.
Highlander is a Camry with a taller body…hardly an “SUV”…
