  1. you can try and tap a larger hex into it and try that. Sadly drilling it out really isn't much of a choice either since its already hollow for oil flow. Best bet is to pull the cam out and get another one with a new VVTi cam gear.

     

    Perfect time to upgrade cams too!

     

    Add some heat as well to this or just say oh well and upgrade like everyone else

  2. I think a lot of places are scared to touch those damned things lol. A buddy of mine had Ricart of all places do it (well, gaskets) and it wasnt THAT bad. They certainly stressed that if a stud snapped off in the head he was fucked. That was on a 2011 I think? (if those had the 5.4s still)

     

    5.4 in a F150 ended in 2010 , 2011+ was the 5.0 for a v8

     

     

    I would say dozer as well probably

  3. Mine did this same shit , I cleaned it all up got a new plug and would have to toss a little starting fluid on there before it would turn over, after it turned over it ran like a champ ... after doing this like 5-10 times one day it wouldn’t start again and I said screw it and bought a self propelled electric one haha
  4. Aachbach. ..spelling? Worked on our van and was v good.

     

    Achbach... and if insurance is paying this is exactly where I would go

     

    My dad has known Dan the owner for years and there is a reason they have the bmw contracts and certifications no one else around does

  5. Thanks. I added $700 to the price but just put in almost $1500. I had the car priced very low before, its now in line with what they sell for.

     

    Wait are you saying the price before was so low it wouldn’t sell so raising it should make it sell ??

  6. be careful of F-150's... I had a '99 with under 100k miles and it rusted from the inside out (talking radiator core support rusted through and I had to zip tie the radiator to the jack that was mounted in the engine bay.

     

    For sure and the bed rails ,cab corners and rockers rust out of the 04+ ones as well, on top of the 5.4 issues

  7. It couldnt have happened...there are no pictures!

     

    Spoke with him yesterday , he was out of state. Came back then left at like 5:00am to go get it, got back in the evening and left again this morning for a few days or of state for work lol

     

    Fwiw said the dump truck was actually in really good shape for the money and made it the 6+ hour drive back without a hiccup

  8. Harnesses gone

     

    Anything else is whatever you wanna Pay, just taking up garage space at this point come by like a car garage fleet market sale

     

    Have some misc other stuff as well if you come by take a look hate to toss some of this stuff but want it gone

  9. Happy Fathers to all the dads here, hope you have a kick ass day

     

    (I’m sure some are busting their ass as always with work ) and others can’t be at home but there is a reason we work hard and do what we do as best we can

     

    Enjoy and drive on
