so, once I had this problem with my F150, right? The exhaust valve was stuck, and I thought it was the end of the world. But, turns out, fixing it ain’t rocket science.
first step is to check that it’s actually the valve. I started by listening for weird noises like a dying cat, which was kinda funny but also not so funny. then, you gotta remove the valve cover. It’s like taking off a hat, but way dirtier. And hey, don’t forget to clean it while you’re at it.
once you get in there, inspect the spring and the guides. If somethings broken, just replace it. I did that once and felt like a mechanic. put it all back together with new gaskets, and make sure not to cross-thread. ever done that? it’s a pain.
after that, just fire it up and pray it works. It did for me, so good luck.
I’ve been there with my F150 in the middle of nowhere in Ohio and man was it a pain.
A few hits with a rubber mallet and some patience did the trick. Sometimes its just about knowing when to give it a little love.
I ve dealt with this before on my buddy’s F150 up in Alberta it was a pain finding the right tools but we finally got it sorted after a long afternoon.
Had a 2006 F150 stuck exhaust valve while cruising through backroads in Oregon.
Ive done a valve adjustment which helped but then started to backfire.
Thinking maybe trying some seafoam next time.
It’s like playing doctor with a truck.
Kinda fun but also frustrating.
I’ve dealt with a stuck valve on my old F150 out in Ohio and it was quite the ordeal. First thing I did was check the oil cause I thought it was a lubrication issue.
After a few attempts to free it I finally went for the seafoam treatment and it surprisingly worked wonders. Just gotta be patient when dealing with these stubborn engines they can be a real pain sometimes.
I’ve had my fair share of issues with my F150 back in Texas. One summer my exhaust valve got stuck and I was sweating bullets.
You know it’s a pain getting into that engine but I found some online tips that helped me so much. Patience is key.
I remember my buddy had a stuck exhaust valve on his F150 in the backroads of Michigan and it was a mess. First he had to pull the valve cover which was a whole thing in itself then he discovered the bolt was stripped. Gotta love that.
After getting the head off he had to clean everything up. I think he ended up replacing the valve but man what a headache.
Guess it’s just part of owning a truck huh
Ive had my F150 in my garage in Texas for a bit and dealing with a stuck exhaust valve is annoying. I thought it was just a simple fix but nope took way longer than expected. just check the springs first.
I had a stuck exhaust valve once in my F150 while on a road trip through the Rockies I ve never felt so stressed
A bit of patience and some elbow grease goes a long way seriously just take it step by step and don’t rush it
I’ve had my F150 stuck in a driveway in Colorado once because of a valve. Real pain to deal with that but getting into it was kinda fun. You just gotta take it apart slowly.
So I had this problem with my old F150 up in Canada last winter. I thought I was in for a nightmare but it turned out to be just a stuck valve thing.
First I popped the hood and was like where do I even start. After checking everything I found some old grease.
I have to say cleanin the valve was way easier than expected. No fancy tools needed just a bit of patience.
I ve been there with my old F150 in a quiet corner of Texas man that was a hassle. Fixing a stuck exhaust valve is no picnic but you really gotta check the springs.
Usually have to pull the heads and see what’s goin on. Kinda a pain but better than a dead truck.
I’ve had my fair share of issues with my F150 in the snowy streets of Michigan especially with that exhaust valve. It was a pain digging into it but I learned a lot. Just take your time.
I ve had the same issue with my F150 in Ohio once and I remember feeling so frustrated I nearly gave up. Turns out it was just a matter of adjusting the valve clearance and using some penetrating oil.
Took me a few tries but man when it finally worked it was like a dream.
