OK.. long story short. payloader backed into front end of f250 psd (04 ) parked on job.
front grill ( whole clip.. h/l assy turn sigs.. etc.. ) is damaged as well as pasanger front quarter panel.. hood ok.. cross metal piece inside E/C is bent, already removed.. rad, and both large coolers are perforated.. thoughthe small steering cooler survived.
got them out and on the ground. fan has some blades broke.
ac condensor got line ripped out of it and a couple of the aluminum lines are popped anyway. tray battery sets on is buckled.. looks like that piece across is a 7 hr job via book as I've been told to unbolt and drill out spot welds.
i see a screw on filter in a filter head in what appears to be the trans cooler lones.. didn't see it at first and it's got road tar onit.. so i can't ID it. (yet)
right side turbo aluminum tube ( by battery ) is bent, so that's off.
ok.. now the good news. now that i got all the stuff unbolted and can eye stuff up and measure.. doesn't look like any frame involvement, or front end or steering components were involved. air cleaner assy intact.. etc..
ok.. now the questions.
1, hows that fan come off?
2, anyone got a number on that trans filter?
3, our mechanic at work quit.. so once agian.. I'm playing the 'tool truck' driver, and the dump truck driver will be my 'here, hold this' man. ( the downside of people knowing you work on old tractors.. )
looking for advice and other info.
I'm gonna start calling some junkyards and a few rad shops and see what i can turn up onthe coolers. I know napa sells an after market fan cheaper than the oem.. but may not use the cheaper one.. i hear they are noisy...
can i assume the front clip / gear/ and the e/c strapping will be the same in any f250 of that year range.. gassr and diesel? ( what about f150? )
thanks
