    2006 superduty turbo problems

    Turbo is on, truck runs good. I had to add 2 gallons of oil and I found out where all that oil went, its in the catalytic converter. I'm monitoring to see if the oil level drops again, but right now oil is running out of the cat in a steady stream. In addition, i get code P0266, "cylinder 2...

    2006 superduty turbo problems

    I'm still down, the dealer has asked that I send in the drain tube for the turbo, what for who knows. Apparently he cannot send me a new turbo without first inspecting the drain tube. Just wanted to say thanks to those who helped guide me on removing the turbo. I'll let you know when get her...

    2006 superduty turbo problems

    Got the turbo off, the bearings are done. It has a lot of slop, fins rubbing on the housing. While it's off and the truck is down I thought I'd clean the EGR(?) valve. Anything else i should be thinking of?

    2006 superduty turbo problems

    I'm going to pull the turbo now, I'll let you know. Yesterday, after charging batts and warming up the truck, still no start. The engine oil is low, not showing on dipstick. I'm going to go over all fluids, fuses, etc and inspect the turbo now. The good news is that a ford dealer in Anchorage...

    2006 superduty turbo problems

    Is it normal for a lot of oil to run out of the exhaust when this happens? I've got a large amount coming out, I assume it was released by the turbo. Is this right?

    2006 superduty turbo problems

    I'm not surre about anything, lol. However, I'm running #1 diesel and the temp is 0-20F. #1 has always been ok when it is above -20.

    2006 superduty turbo problems

    I have autoenginuity and used it todeay. Found code P0611, which is failure to communicate with FICM, I think. No CEL, just turns over, starts for about 2 revs, then dies. Will the turbo being shot prevent the engine from starting?

    2006 superduty turbo problems

    My truck started up yesterday and the turbo was making a whirring or whislting noise at idle. I drove it around a minute and there was no boost pressure. The noise increased then stopped, now the truck won't run for more than a couple of seconds. Does this indicate that the turbo is shot or...

    Leveling kit and tires 06 SDD

    I have an 06 SDD CC SB FX$. I want to level it and then out on the biggest tires I can run. I need suggestions, as I can't drive to the tire store to check things out, I have to order and have the items shipped, which is expensive. I only want to pay shipping one time so any help is appreciated.

    turning off the Seat Belt Warning chime

    I'm loking for a quality schematic to see if there is a way to fool the GEM into sensing a fastened seat belt. Any ideas? And by the way, thanks to all of you who have responded I appreciate your attempts to help me out.

    turning off the Seat Belt Warning chime

    Are you kidding? There are very few things in this world that would make me happier than knowing which wire to disconnect and get rid of that freaking chime.

    turning off the Seat Belt Warning chime

    can't do that I live in a remote area of Alaska, so I can't get it to a dealer. It has to ride on a C-130 to go to Anchorage, about 15,000 dollars. Ford won't pay for it, I know I asked. I could put it on a barge when the Bering Sea thaws out this summer for about $7,000 but it takes a month...
