2001 F350 7.3L Turbo Diesel, UVCH

In this video, I describe one way to fix the common Under Valve Cover Harness connector that comes loose on Ford Diesel Pickups. The fix involves a quarter ground down on one edge. The quarter acts as a shim to keep the connector in place. Thanks to F350-6 on the Ford Truck Enthusiasts forum for this great tip!

Which forum?
-
hey i got a 2001 f30 7.3 turbo diesel, when i press the gas the turbo doestn open do you know what may cause this.
-
Does it butt up against the valve cover? looks like a good idea! What about longevity doing it that way? has anyone had any problems with the vibration or pieces falling off?
-
i have a '02 7.3 had the same problem.
ford wanted 1100 bucks to fix this designed flaw.
and they wanted 20 bucks for 2 pieces of plastic that probably cost less than 5 cents to make 100.
i found this same solution and took 50 cents and 4 hours of my time and worked flawlessly.
i fully vouch that this IS the best solution.
my truck has 256000 miles and is running strong,hopefully i can get a million miles out of my truck. GREAT VIDEO

Dam, thats a great idea.
-
@hhojunkie85 I doubt that the Ford designers put that there in the first place so why would that be a good idea? Surely the guys at ford have a better way of fixing this problem than putting a quarter in the valve-train area. Like he said, a shim from Ford. Probably a better idea....

What was the original problem you had? I'm having an issue but only have 70000 miles on motor

great video, I dont think the quarter will come back out once the valve cover is installed!

@jessemc2 Correct, it hasn't backed out in 2 years and i don't expect it to, unless the quarter miraculously chips its way through a valve cover. :)

@kamilnj21 The quarter cannot pop out once the valve cover is installed.
