Scanned for codes found P0579 cruise multifunction circuit range. Test drove vehicle and was not able to replicate the stalling condition. We can spin the a/c compressor by hand at this time. We will retest after brake repair. For the brake light, tested the brake level sensor and park brake switch, both are working correctly at this time. After reading forms found a loose connection at the instrument cluster. Tightened the connection and the brake light is now off. If the concern persists then the instrument cluster will need to be replaced.
Remove and reinstall four wheels and rear brake drums to inspect brake condition. Inspect entire system for leaks. Lining remaining is: Front (mm 8 ) Rear (mm 8 ) LF:_1.130_________ RF:__1.125________ SP__1.146_____ LR__0.765________RR:_0.770__________SP_0.752_________ Noticed brake light is illuminated on the dash board, checked Fluid level and is full, checked Fluid condition and measures 200 ppm. Upon test drive noticed both the front and rear rotors are badly warped. Both front and rear pads measure 8mm. Rotors are too close to minimum to turn. The park brake shoes we can not inspect until brakes disassembled. We recommend replacing the front and rear rotors and pads, and brake fluid flush. Inspect park brake shoes. Note.. the front rotors have bearings pressed into them and 1 time use Nuts. Note brake light will require diagnose. Also found the sway bar end link bushings missing. Used our own wheel lock key.

A CP4 “disaster prevention kit” for the Ford 6.7L Power Stroke is designed to protect your fuel system from catastrophic CP4 high pressure pump failure by catching metal debris before it reaches injectors, rails, and the fuel tank. These kits don’t stop the pump from failing, but they dramatically reduce the repair cost if it does. ———————————————————————————————- Core Components • Billet return-side filter head • Accepts a standard spin-on fuel filter (usually a Donaldson P550943, 9-micron, 99% efficiency). • Captures metal debris coming from a failing CP4 pump before it reaches the tank. • Spin-on fuel filter (Donaldson P550943) • High-efficiency filter included with most kits. • OE-style quick-connect fuel lines • Pre-made lines for easy installation and proper routing. • Includes a fuel supply split-off located ~25 inches from the CP4 pump to reduce contamination risk. • Bypass/return filtration system • Routes CP4 return fuel through the added filter before it goes back to the tank. • Prevents debris from circulating through the entire fuel system.
Inspected oil leak and found oil leaking onto bell housing area and dripping down to pan area, using camera found oil leak looks to be originating from Valley of motor area. Tear down is needed to verify oil leak source. In process of tear down, recommend replacement of CCV filter and various gaskets needed. Oil leak looks to be mainly originating from Turbo pedestal area, cab removal is required to repair oil leaks, recommending replacement of CCV filter and related gaskets as well as replacing Turbo pedestal and gaskets, and installing a "disaster prevention kit" to save fuel system when CP4 fuel pump fails due to mileage.
Remove oil filter adapter, clean block and oil filter adapter Re install with new gasket.
