Hi did you make a video showing how to remove the EGR cooler (mentioned at 2:28)? Would like to find the best way to insert an EGR blank with a small hole to help prevent clogging the engine. Also, where are you located at and how do I contact you privately? Thanks!
Curious to see the inside of that there puma.. I have the 3.5 ecoboost in mine that I’m real happy with but always curious to see what other options I may have next time.
Hey man I'm still having a hard time choosing between motors. Do you think I'd be better off getting the diesel from the 100k warranty and reliability standpoint?
Just seems like a lot of people have issues with carbon build up on the backside of the valves with the ecoboost along with other turbo problems. the 3.7 seems like its going to work to move that beast. Being a Mechanic and knowing what you do which motor would you pick out of the 3?
+Patriot77 3.5 all day long. I have worked on many ecoboosts n have never had an issue with carbon. Having an engine direct injected is what creates our soot (carbon) all ecoboosts that are DRIVEN and are not garage queens usually dont have a prob cuz temps burn all that off. Same concept on those 5.4 3valves where the plugs break. Carbon acts like a glue n then the plugs break. The trucks that are WORKED don't have that issue.....just my two cents broski
Thanks man!! I saw another video of a guy saying if you open it up every so often and get the rpms up youll never have the carbon issue. I was victim the that garbage 5.4 in my 04 f150. sounded like a diesel i think from the cam phazer. blew up at 150k.
+th h yea had to replace the torque convertor. Note to any1 replacing a puma engine, MUST replace the convertor. Shlda made a video, was ridiculous. Wasted my time installing had i knw the convertor needed to be replaced.
@@MrGGPRI maybe for 42 years Ford has been selling the #1 truck . So what have Dodge or now Ram have maybe a good motor but then why are they still in 3rd place. That's why we buy Ford's not chick trucks
The legendary 7.3 diesel is in my opinion the best motor Navistar International ever built. Also, the 5.9 is the best motor Cummins ever built. These are the two best motors out there money can buy. The new stuff out there, Powerstroke, Cummins, Duramax...are okay. But are costly to fix thanks to Nancy Pelosi, and her mob from California. New emission crap! 😬
PowerStroke Tech Talk w/ARod wow that’s a great reason to me for looking at the Ram or Chevy vans! I know you cannot stand up in a Chevy van, but the baby DuraMax is now available in the 3/4-1 ton CHEVY vans!
Thank you for dismissing any foolish notions I might have had about wanting this engine combination. Good video.
Yes!!!!

+th h ahh gotcha, i feel ya there. Let me service your Ecoboost!!
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod which of the 3 engines do you recommend in the transit?
The 3.5 twin turbo ecoboost is a really nice application. You would not be disappointed.
Will cradle not drop out to the bottom with transmission? Such as a front wheel drive?
+James Peters cradle just has the eng, not trans in it...
up here in the rustbelt subframe bolts never come out
I knw, im here! And I DONT PULL THEM ANY MORE, F THAT!
What kind of wheel bearings would you suggest
+Scott Niles original ones are good. Havent dealt with to many aftermarket bearings...
What failed on this engine?
The engine
Why did this fail and what year is this ? Would you recommend buying a 3.2 diesel?
Ooo private message me n we will talk
How do I do that?
Whats your email

Hey man I'm still having a hard time choosing between motors. Do you think I'd be better off getting the diesel from the 100k warranty and reliability standpoint?
+Patriot77 100k warranty on JUST the engine. What makes you think, not being a smart ass or anything, that the diesel will be more reliable...?
Just seems like a lot of people have issues with carbon build up on the backside of the valves with the ecoboost along with other turbo problems. the 3.7 seems like its going to work to move that beast. Being a Mechanic and knowing what you do which motor would you pick out of the 3?
has ford made any improvments to the ecoboost that would benefit its longevity since it was introduced?

I been a ford fan all my life but they are going down hill i still drive a old 7.3 run great
Best motor FORD never made.
Not a ford made engine,international (navistar)made
That's what I said. Best motor FORD NEVER MADE..
Yes sir I sill have my 97 F-350 ref cab 5 speed!
Hell yeah!!
They really need to put a doghouse on these transits.
+4literpowered yes I AGREE!!
Any more on the puma?
+th h yea had to replace the torque convertor. Note to any1 replacing a puma engine, MUST replace the convertor. Shlda made a video, was ridiculous. Wasted my time installing had i knw the convertor needed to be replaced.
high pressure fuel pump? Thanks for showing this!
+Patrick Salisbury rod knock....no problem. Thanks for watching!
Oh the irony a ford fusion commercial
Change that joke stroke out for a cummins, problems solved!
+willis arnald they got their problems too buddy, dont b fooled....
. Cummins has been building Diesels since the mid 1930’s , WHY buy a PowerStroke ??

I’d like to see what you end up finding.
+K. R. V. No tear down per ford, just replacement. No parts avail to repair.

+K. R. V. Sweeeet
So 3.2 junk or no ?
What about transmission ?
We would have to email and talk
I got a 2013 Ford Escape that needs wheel bearings
Lmao 😂 if you didnt research any type of reliability you ended up with the transit😂😂😂
