Hey fordmakuloco. I have a 2016 F150 ecoboost 3.5l with 71k. It has code p0234 overboost. Please, help.

Ashton Abel says:

2015 ecoboost…TSB 19-2004 unintended deceleration…..would covering the inter-cooler with a 5.0 trim bumper panel cause issues? Seems like it would reduce air flow to inter-cooler…having some issues currently..just wanted your opinion because I have yet to see a ecoboost with a covered bumper panel like on the 5.0s and that was Fords fix for bad sensors in front

fords suck for any engine work. chevy are much easier to work on .

Don’t be so hard on your boy about the wiring to the shutter of the grill

Alex your son?

Mark Pontes says:

Would love to know the price difference for doing a timing job and changing the e gine if you didn't change all the hoses and turbo like this guy did?

Jeff Piatt says:

Some of the most brutally painful engine work I ever did was on a 7.4L 3/4 ton 1988 Suburban. Horrific back pain. Those big iron heads weighed a lot, and I was in a bent over position, due to the height of the truck, the entire time. Just one, in a line of vehicles, that made me swear off of GM, long ago.

Manuel Negrete says:

Im not saying not pull the cab off the truck, but it's super easy to pull the front clips off these body styles, verses the older ones

J. need4Qlife says:

I love my 150, but I am having to spend thousands to fix numerous leaks.. Almost every leak is associated with plastic engine part. Why is Ford trying to destroy their claim being tough?

turbobuick33 says:

It be a good time to fluid film the frame

greggamanda Barkus says:

My dad has a 2014 Ecoboost and i have a 2010 Silverado. Chevy is definitely easier to work on, but not by much LOL . Gone are the good ol days when you and a buddy could swap a motor in your pickup in your front yard on a Saturday afternoon.

maxpaul11 says:

Does this save time? I myself think it would be easier and faster tobjust pull engine though instead of raising body. Way too many hrs messing around with cab related problems

Josh Rhoades says:

That was bada$$! Look at all the things you can get to that’s usually such pain to get at. I could somewhat see why someone would do it for a timing job, not sure which would be the most work since I’ve never pulled a body off.
