These dudes over at Choate are *SOLID!* Love the conversations you have with them, and I love the way Cass approaches his business! Good example to follow *for sure!*
I hate to break it to you but when your 6.4 fails its likely going to be catastrophic and it's going to not be worth fixing there are little to no good core engines left and the aftermarket is all but gone because everyone basically scrapped those trucks the ones left on the road are dirt cheap but I'd still sell it while it's running and get something that's going to survive and that's over 15 years in the industry speaking never in my career have I seen such a catastrophic failure across the board of any engine ever
I have one of their 6.7 longblocks at a shop now being installed. The instructions that are sent out for what needs to be replaced, flushed, checked and monitored, only speaks to their knowledge and expertise for what they do. Pictures and videos are required to be taken during the install process. I'm looking for more miles out of this engine, then I got out of my 2017 Ford motor.
Coming from a quality background, I've seen very few in the automechanics field have detailed process controls. Look at your lugs next time you change your tires. Those slivers are from over torqued nuts usually from the tire shop guy who's been doing it for 20 years with a non adjustable impact. Some will have an impact set near the correct torque, but they probably don't look to verify the spec.
This is six in a row Jim again when you guys ship an engine out, I have a little list of things like OK for you talked about the 60 engine it needs new injection lines. Let them know that let them know what the pressure should be for the lift pump and let them also no heat, even if they didn’t have a turbo explosion back flush that intercooler and if there’s any particular parts did a certain engine should have replaced keep them on stock and you can sell them those parts also anyhow, I go by six in a row Jim I have a 1991.5 dodge I’ll give you three guesses. What’s under the hood you guys sound like you’re really know what you’re doing
Just to be clear. The bucket of water and radiator example. Isn't too good. Radiators as far as water and flow, are designed to keep the water inside radiator a certain amount of time. In order to help cool engine efficiently. Maybe I understood the explanation incorrectly.
I can appreciate the guys that want to do it DIY but there are some people that jyst have absolutely no buisness building or even installing a long block or short block the cleanliness required is next level with anything common rail and any modern engine for that matter bearing tolerances have gotten tighter and tughter over the last 15 years to the point where you CANNOT get any trash in them what so ever guys used to be able to slap together a 7.3 or even a 6.0 but a 6.7 90% of DIY guys have absolutely no buisness doing engine builds its just not feasible anymore because guys who were actually in the industry have gradually grown their cleNliness over the years and grown with the engines and guys just cost themselves money and its 100% rightfully so that the engine rebuilders deny their warranty because 90% of problems are user error
Not about this video but I had a question I have an 18 6.7 powerstroke and have been wondering about the 10 speed transmission and haven’t gotten a good answer from anyone. Is there anyone you know who could tell me if you can put the 10 speed transmission in the 18 6.7 powerstroke
If this guy is part of research and development for ford then I’ll take his advice/opinions with a grain of salt! And these two fellows show me sone credentials and I’ll give the respect they would deserve but I’m not impressed with the info they sound like their getting from Siri and google! I don’t see them getting dirty for NOTHING
Well getting dirty in a machine shop is harder to do than a mechanic shop. The main guy is a machinist. He builds engines. They don't necessarily install. His expertise is building engines with pride. Hope that helps your comment. Pressure and temperature are a basic thing to remember about anything. In general.

I remember calling the 6.0 the Six Leaker
Dude's got good business/customer sense that translates well to business integrity.
Takes a few seconds to snap a picture
But when you can pass the blame down out the door it feels amazing
Priceless but stay humble 😂
6.4 guy here. On y’all’s RUclips account it would be cool to see y’all do a full rebuild and install on all the different platforms

Gotta know when to cut your losses and admit it's a money pit

These guys are geniuses. Now… if they could only make their website more mobile phone friendly. So frustrating!
I’ve always the 6.4 Power stroke is a 150,000 mile throw away engine

Next time we chat with a transmission company, we will ask! Thanks for watching.
Where can I find this diesel master show?
A lot of good info
Would like to see some 1/2 ton diesel love i e got the 3.0 ford power stroke
Where is this guy located?
