One of our "Car Lot" accounts had a 2015 Ford F250 Crew 4x4 Lariat with a 6.2L/6R140 combo towed to the shop directly from the Auction with a No Start complaint.
Did all the normal Auction Rat checks.....
*Charge the battery because they are always dead.
*Check oil level....Good.
*Check Fuel pressure & take a Fuel sample (Deadbeats love to fill fuel tanks with water when they can no longer afford the payments), No problems found.
*Hook up the scanner....No codes as the battery was dead.
*Attempt to start the engine resulted in a large backfire through the Intake.
*Watched the Cam/Crank Sync PID with the subsequent start attempt......NO GOOD!
Pulled both Valve Covers, Set #1 piston at TDC.......Bank 2 camshaft has jumped time 4-5 teeth on the Timing Chain & Tensioner is maxxed out. Bank 1 isn't far behind.
Lot's of sludge as well.
Mileage on the Odometer is 53832 & the Mileage stored in the PCM is 53834.
Engine Hours show 27,734
........It's just broke in right!!! My Duramax has @ 19,000 hours on it & just north of 400,000 miles.
We called the customer & he was very upset......Couldn't believe a engine can wear out in 53,000 miles. Trying to explain engine hours to some people is very difficult.
I'll snap some pics of the engine once I get the Cab lifted.
