OK that makes sense. Thanks again for the info. My mind is at ease knowing I shouldnt have any major problem. Now since Ill be in there I think Ill do the zodad mod and the mod to run that pvc? pipe to the rear end instead of into the turbo.

Thanks again....

 

Yeah if you run out of enough oil it just wont start/run.

I have to say, this is a first for me, never seen one do that. Crazy.

The mod you're thinking of is the CCV mod (crank case vent).

 

Yeah thats it the CCV mod. So I dropped my daughter off at school wich is about 2 miles from the house. There was a large puddle of oil in the school parking lot. Wasnt positive if it wa from me yesterday or not. But I followed the trail all the way home this morning. So looks like I lost alot more then 2 or 3 quarts. Looked to be heavy enough of a leak to drop a couple gallons at the least.
Ill get that sensor out this week. ( got rent due which is EXPENSIVE here for a 2 bed 1 bath. $1680 month) So will have to wait till I get alittle extra cash for part and oil. But when I get it out Ill take some good pictures of it and have them posted in this thread so you all can see what happened.

 

That's quite a bit of oil to lose! Holy crap. Though, a little oil looks like a BIG mess on the ground too.

$1680 a month.... holy fawk. I pay $500 for a 3 bedroom house, with a detached garage haha, I'm on the opposite end of the expensive living spectrum. But I'm surrounded by white trash. Never felt so at home anywhere though...

 

Yeah $1680 and thats a 2 bed apartment with no garage or storage. Sucks. Up north where I used to live I could BUY 2 houses for that. Cheapest house around here would be about $550k for a 2 bed 2 bath with 1 car garage.
$500 a month dang havnt seen prices that cheap since I lived in AZ back in 95.


I thought the same thing about all the oil. A little could look like alot. But I had a big puddle in school parking lot and a big enough trail all the way home that it looked like I used a shop broom over some water. And at each stop sign / light there was a small puddle forming. Ill know for sure what I lost after I refill it.

 

replaced the Engine Oil Pressure switch today. It was what was leaking. There is a silicon seal on top where the ( White ) plastic part meets the bottom aluminum part. The seal broke. I asked the parts guy at Walnut Creek ford about it. He said he has sold a few of them but never asked what happened. He thought it was something to do with the electrical part of it. First time he heard of a seal going and someone loosing about 2 gals of oil. Got the part and 5 quart jug of oil for $51. Gotta go back and get some more oil..

BTW the Engine oil pressure switch PART# is 9278 ( SW-5267 ) Runs about $31. I got it for $25. And Toulsey Ford lists it at $20.

 

Cool, glad you got it going.

 

I justl got a 03 6.0. There a really bad oil leak thats runs down the drive side font head can cant see where its coming from. And ideas
