@@on-site4094 If you're doing the work yourself, its not a difficult job. The exhaust is on the back side of the engine, and there's a big crossmember that needs to come down. Once you do that, you'll have plenty of room to get the turbo out. It looks worse than it is. If you get the workshop manual for your vehicle, it will give you step by step instructions for every nut and bolt on the job.

The F250 with the gas engine is a more sensible option. 6 speed trans, no vvt, normal fuel injection system, no push button start, etc.. It has some newer tech on it but its not a rolling computer network like an F150. Its a lot cheaper too. I haven't seen one for a while because I work at a Lincoln only dealership, but sometime within the last 2 years, the window sticker was under 40k. Everyone overlooks that particular truck.

Kenny- I replaced both turbos on my 2014 with 209000 miles- because the exhaust manifold all leak badly. Check your job, they leak at the rear, BD Diesel makes a superior replacement. The oil line MUST be removed and the screen at the other end MUST be cleaned or replaced- they clog and that leads to turbo failure. I replaced all the coolant and oil lines and all fittings. I also ditched that restricted exhaust flange for a bigger one, a few places sell them. The 3 bolts holding the turbo to the manifold should be replaced as they are an interference fit into the flange. I watched many hours of KZread and tackled mine took 2 weeks but it works perfectly. Fordtechmakuloco explains it all very well. Those push fittings, though ........junk. I think yours needs new coolant and oil lines. You do NOT want to do this again.... Good Luck Kenny!!

Teflond tape

@41:55 I believe "bottoming tap" is what you refer to here. You can improvise one (particularly just for thread cleanup) by filing a couple of slots lengthwise in a bolt. A plug tap can be converted into a bottoming tap by cutting the tapered end off, but this has to be done with care and a lot of cooling so the heat of cutting doesn't anneal the tap and make it soft. Those tap sockets are AWESOME for getting into tight spots that can't fit a traditional tap wrench.

I really enjoy your videos, thanks for making them! It's good to get an experienced mechanics view.

Calm down wild man with the stool

I know a lot of times it's highly subjective on mileage because things can break at any time but I always heard that the turbos are quite a common thing on those engine models at least having to change it at least once during the engine's life but the newer ones I think around 17 and up our less prone to that turbo failure

I had a leaking coolant line in my 2015 . I bought it at 38K miles the dealer fixed it.

Good job Kenny. But did you replace the turbo filter screen?

Is there a reason that anticize was not used on the flange bolts were the turbo bolted to the engine. I saw were you were having difficulty getting the bolts out and would think having anticize on them would be easier to remove them next time. Good job at removing and replacing the turbo. First time I have seen this on you tube.

It would be too thoughtful and convenient for car makers to put anti-seize on bolts at the factory which they may assume might need to be removed for service.

Although many prefer a "longer" video, I, being a mechanic(45+ years), prefer the shorter ones you used to make, as the removing & tightening of parts is trivial UNLESS there is some unusual item that sets it apart from the mundane.

Would have been easier to just drop the entire cradle out of the car.

I hate the sudo-word "Eco" tacked on to any product marketing moniker. It is a weasel word designed to imply economy or environmentally but is neither. It is particularly egresses when tacked on the the word "diesel."

Don't feel bad my brother as you end this video saying 'epic fail'. The problem is not you. You kept filming the actual problem and that is "ECOBOOST", the emblem on the side of the door. I'd be embarrassed if I were Ford to put shit out there like this in the first place. I guess you can tell I really don't like Fords.

Owner doesn’t want to fix the other side because he will probably dump the car very soon, and buy a Toyota instead.

This is why I try and avoid purchasing a car with turbos, not to mention other reasons why 🤦‍♂️
