    In this video I show the steps and procedures necessary to replace the turbo charger on a ford F-150 equipped with an eco-boost 3.5 L engine. Years 2013 through 2017. turbo failure is an issue I have seen with high mileage eco-boost engines. Number one complaint and symptom of a bad turbo is low power, surging power and dtc p0299. And sometimes misfire codes can appear. I hope this video to help you out if it has please like and subscribe. If you have any questions feel free to leave something in the comment section.

    I'm not a mechanic in any way. I just finished swapping both turbos on my 2013 3.5l. A few tips if you decide to do this. First, I've only done this once on one truck. However , the T 47 bolts were actually T 50. When installing, definitely get all the bolts in before you tighten any of them. You need the play to get many of them in. Last tip, if you can afford it, take it to the shop. It took me 14 hrs, and my hands look like I fought a cheese grater. Great video tho definitely helped me!

  • @kodyharris4670
    @kodyharris4670 Před 2 měsíci +7

    Great tips, I’ll add a critical tip;
    DO NOT loosen the bolts for the oil line flange that bolt to the bottom of turbo until AFTER you remove the upper coolant line and it drains completely even if you think it’s drained from the radiator hose, it’s not and you’ll be draining that all back out of your oil pan.

    Honestly there was nothing easy about this twin turbo replacement job. 22hrs to replace both turbos, replace and upgrade to stainless coolant lines, flush radiator, oil change, brake fluid flush, front/rear differential gear oil change. Don't forget the Ford Motorcraft friction Modifier. 4oz per differential. Next month we will do the tranny fluid flush, transaxle fluid flush, PCV valve replacement. The most difficult part of this job was the coolant lines between the firewall and engine. I still have bruises and cuts on my arms. Thanks for the great video and information. Whoever at Ford designed the POS springs that hold in the coolant lines needs to be hung and shot. At the very least they could have put a tab to grab with needle nose instead of a dental pick. The easy part of the job was getting the air out of the radiator. Piece of cake. The Exhaust bolts I recommend soaking in break free for a week/month before you do this job. Soak them bools down like a $2 whore. Use a couple of cans!

What I've read, it appears to be the turbo went bad. Have you ever ran into this before. BTW thanks for the video, it really helped me. I have a 2013 F150 3.5 ecoboost.

      Hey what were your symptoms? I've got a 2012. I believe one of my turbos is going out. I could hear the turbo bearing kinda screaming one day and power was going in and out(I'm sure loss of oil to it as ive seen a wet leak at that turbo) . My truck normally would stay in 6th gear and pull up small hills easily. Now it stays in 5th and goes all way down to 3rd to get up hills. You can feel the turbos kick in and out and it will throw you back in the seat if it's in 3rd gear when they kick back in. Check engine light coming on and going way. Then Sunday I finally got a wrench. Had to pull over as it lost all power. I turned it off then went to crank. It took a little longer to crank then started up, drove fine again for a bit. Then last night driving I got a wrench again. Turned off then recranked. Drove fine again.

    Just thought I'd tune in to see how you go about this and what's involved with it. I'd imagine it would be similar on my 2010 Lincoln MKS, just probably a little tighter to get into. I'll crawl under there and have a closer look now that I know exactly what to change. Though with 120K miles I'll probably just dish out the dough to replace the whole unit rather than just a few gaskets and seals.

    I have a 2017 Expedition with a 3.5 litter engine. I had both driver and
    passenger leaks. I started with the passenger. You will need a really
    good light, preferably with a rotating magnet. Remove negative battery
    cable. Jack up car, jack stands for safety, removed the upper inner
    wheel well...lots of plastic tabs and 5.5 mm socket...maybe even 8
    mm...or 10 mm. Remove the engine plastic tabs closest to the front of
    the car. I also removed one of the air intakes that leads to the turbo
    and loosened the other one to have more turbo wiggle room later. I had
    both turbo fittings leaking. I half took off the turbo. Changed both
    while off. I removed 3 nuts off starter, not the electrical connections.
    I removed the 2 exhaust bolts. I removed the 3 manifold bolts. You will
    need to get the 3 manifold bolts and the triangular manifold gasket if
    you don't want to reuse the old ones. I got 3 manifold bolts and the
    gasket. Remove the 2 bolts to the oil line. I did not fully removed it. I
    was able to wiggle the turbo loose to where I could change both turbo
    fittings. Wear gloves if you don't want finger cuts when handling the
    exhaust part of the turbo. You will need a 3/8ths 45 torx and 50 torx.
    Also long extensions and a wobble extensions...and universal joint
    sockets, both 3/8 and 1/2 inch.... They helped. Be careful with the
    brake lines as they are near when wiggling the turbo out. Once
    everything was loose I removed the tang with a long pick from both sides
    of the turbo. I used a pry bar to gently wiggle both lines out of where
    it sat. Be patient. I am a novice and it took 1.5 days to do the
    passenger side. Breaks here and there. The best of luck! Tomorrow I will
    do the easy side...the drivers side. I only have 1 fitting leaking,
    closest to the wheel well. So that should take me an hour or so.

    • @sofistk8ddd1
      @sofistk8ddd1 Před 2 lety

      You will need 1 long pry bar to get the coolant line back into the inner turbo side and 2 pry bars to get the coolant line closest to the outer side of the wheel...one to push it down, the other to align it in place. I put 1 pry bar up against the exhaust manifold for centering while the other pry bar pressed down it into place...both fittings with the tangs in place.

    Great video, good job explaining every nut and bolt!! I recently bought a 2015 F-150 3.5L Ecoboost, and I believe that I have a small oil leak from the passenger side turbo charger. It is very odd, I looked under the hood and noticed white smoke coming from there, but not a lot and not constantly. Only after running the engine at highway speeds than coming to a stop, also when idling for a while. It is very strange thing. I am 95% sure it is coming from the turboc area but i still can't pinpoint it.I saw in your video that the oil line is located between the turbo and the block, maybe that's why I can't see the leak... Thanks again!

    Wondering whether to replace the turbo oil and coolant pipes on my 3.5L 2016.
    The exhaust manifold studs tend to go (turbo's weight and vibration are hanging on one stud) and the exhaust gasket can vibrate like a reed: can sound just like a squalling bearing or bushing. If that's what is happening, might be worth upgrading the exhaust manifolds (similar conditions on both sides, so if one has gone the other won't be long.
    Maybe do both sides so you don't have to go back in). Planning on using the SD Diesel manifolds; thicker, with longer studs.

    Hi !... Great video... So the purpose of this is because the turbo was leaking coolant? I have the same situation But I didn't know until now that I see your video. I checked my car and leaks some time not in a constant way . Just randomly. thanks!

    When I did this I found it was easiest to just pull the exhaust down. I also struggled with the forward pointing coolant line, since the new one was just $19 I cut it and replaced it.

  • @martarodriguez8225
    @martarodriguez8225 Před 3 lety +2

    The coolant is leaking from the turbo charger. What do you recommend? Did you actually replace the turbo charger or did you just replace the bolts to stop the leak?

    Super helpful video and follow up on all the comments. I’m an occasional DYIer but I only have one vehicle so can’t afford to not having it working the next day. A nondealership mechanic just quoted me $7500 to do both turbos on my ‘13 F150 3.5L Eco. Question: 1) Do I really need to replace both (like the mechanic says? 2) Should I get all new parts like mechanic is telling me (except gaskets of course) 3) How much should I really be paying to have this done? Sounds like I should get a second beater car and try this myself. Thoughts?

  • @duke_pufus
    @duke_pufus Před 5 lety +4

    Great vid, thanks. 1 problem that I have come across is the upper coolant tube. Yes you can rotate it upwards to get it out of the way but there is a good chance that it leaks at the back side of the cylinder head when you are all done. Pain in the ass on that year engine as the brake vacuum pump is mounted on the back side of that head and it needs to be removed to replace fitting. Replace that fitting now as it will save you some grief later. The lower coolant line has a bracket attached to it so there is hardly any chance of the fitting leaking on the other end of the line which is behind the A/C compressor.

It keeps on smoking a lot. Any ideas why this is happening? Thank you in advance

I did not know about the coolant drain part had I not watched this video. GOt any tips for the 4x4 vacuum system and the wheel bearing noise it makes, mine always has a wawawa sound then when i shift into 4x4 it goes away.

    Great video! I just had both turbos lock up on my 2016 3.5L EB Ford Flex. Would the removal/replacement procedure be similar to what you’ve shown here?

    • @bryanmartinez6600
      @bryanmartinez6600 Před 5 lety

      Ford flex uses a transverse engine layout so the turbo towards the front should be easier but the other will be against the firewall.
      That's why I hate transverse layout, I always prefer the longitudinal layout much more basic.

    Great video I have the coolant line leaking on my 2012 the one closest to the motor on the passenger side. How much you think that would cost to repair. I was told about a 1000 bucks cdn. You make it look so easy to remove. How many hours do you think it would take the dealer for them to do this. ?

    • @AaronHinesAuto
      @AaronHinesAuto  Před 5 lety +6

      1000.00 is a little steep. considering all the parts (gaskets and connectors) will be less then 80.00. the manual says its takes 6.3 hours to remove the turbo. even tho it takes far less time. should be right around 600-800. i have done this replair many times. so its kind of easy for me. thank you!!

    Did your turbo blow off sound like it was under water? Mine started doing this a few weeks back. As long as not under a load or high RPM it’ll drive fine. Once at high speed or rpm, it’ll throw a misfire code and go into low power mode. As soon as I clear the code on the fly, it goes back to normal and drives fine.

    90%of the time those coolant lines will leak at the other ends , I always replace them and it requires a lot more labor and skills. As always people just show the easiest repairs when it takes way more effort than what I’m seeing.

    I noticed an oil leak on my 14 eco 3.5. Researched and decided to tackle the vacuum pump. Replaced it, but noticed afterwards the burning oil smell still happening, and it’s coming from the gasket on the turbo. Do you think that could be remnants from the oil leaking from the above vacuum pump, or is there something that would cause the gasket area on the turbo to be smoking?
