    Question on a quote I got?

    My first question would be what are the symptoms of your 6.0? was it blowing white smoke, blowing out the bottle, etc.? Normally, you have to change out all those parts after the EGR cooler clogs and takes out the oil cooler, then overheats - warps the heads and blows the head gaskets. Don't...

    Question Oil cooler

    You have to remove all of the top end (turbo, intake manifold, etc)of the engine. It took me a couple days [but I don't have a full garage either]... make sure you don't drop anything inside the block.

    EGR delete, HERE WE Go Again

    When I installed my EGR delete I use a chop saw and cut the lower half (piston in the manifold) off. I re-installed the modified EGR valve and p[lugged it in. Basically it tells the computer that the valve is there but really has no function. it's better then installing that cover plate.

    Popping through intake?

    I just had the same thing and mine turned out to be a bad cam lifter. The needle bearings on the bottle of the lifter let loose and now the engine will not run at all. some of the needle bearings made there way into the oil pump gears and stopped the oil pump - thus - no oil pressure - no oil...

    photos EGR and Oil Cooler Replacement in Pictures

    Living in California I too have to go through SMOG, I too installed the EGR / EGR cooler delete. I went through TWO EGR coolers before I had had enough and installed the EGR delete kit. I did not install the cover plate for the EGR valve though. I broke out the saws all and cut the lower half of...

    I have always had good luck with ford trucks in the past but this is my first diesel. if I ever get another ford diesel it will be a 7.3L or better.

    engine shut down

    Well my mechanic said that it was a bad IPR valve. I was hoping that it was not the HPOP as I had that replaced about two years ago. I am still getting tired of the 6.0L to the point that I might trade it in for a Chevy or Mopar diesel instead. Still wanting to hope for my ford :dunno

    engine shut down

    I am hoping that its not that because I replaced the HPOP about two years ago. But, as we all know, its possible.

    engine shut down

    It's a possibility, but what are the chances of getting a bad FICM that I recently replaced. And then again that could be my issue because I recently replaced it. Thanks

    engine shut down

    Well I replaced the fan clutch and started just fine. Driving it, after two months, the engine just died. It was not overheating, the fan was working normal, and will not restart. Not showing codes and I am at a loss. I can hear the fuel pump is running and the engine will turn over, only no...

    What can be done about "warped" rotors?

    I had to replace a couple rotors before I realized that I had a bad caliper. Replaced that and all was good.

    New EGR Cooler Install

    I hope that you at least looked at your oil cooler while you were replacing the EGR cooler because the oil cooler is first in line and when it starts to clog it restricts the flow to the EGR cooler (thus damaging it). When I installed my EGR delete I back flushed the cr*p out of it using a...

    Simple Green in coolant system

    I went to the Ford Stealership today and inquired the cost of flushing the coolant system. $285.00 So I asked what it all entailed. I was informed that they flush the system with a mixture including a rust inhibitor (think it was VC9), etc. I told him that I was just going to do it myself and...

    engine shut down

    What I was told was that the clutch shorts out and drains the power from the computer which inturn shuts down the engine. He told me if it happened again to just disconnect the fan clutch plug and watch the temp gauge.
