had my 7.3 to the dealer for Waste Gate actuator and heater fan stuck on defrost,,, $963.00 later runs like a champ. still cheaper than a new truck payment ok rant over!!
cut the cross member or scrap the truck ,thats the choice ,other wise the repair far exceeds the value of the vehicle . we are talking about 15 year old trucks here not a just out of warrenty car.
