    Still smokin'

    On second thought, I am going to run it down to a shop my friend runs and get him to do an injector contribution test on it. I'm starting to think that might be the problem.

    Still smokin'

    So i did head studs, egr and oil cooler and I still have white smoke. Here is the deal. When the engine is cold there is no smoke at all. Once the engine has some time to warm up, usually a couple minutes, it will puff some white smoke. This only happens when I start from a dead stop. The...

    Shucks! It wont start.

    Charged batteries overnight. Cranked it and it started on the third try!

    Shucks! It wont start.

    Is that right? I have been reading stuff like 100RPM. I guess I need to do more digging around. Thanks for the info. And, since I can't read a gauge, I was getting more like 200RPM. Do you think that the low batteries could be it? I am pretty sure you can't diagnose my problems over the...

    Help Needed 2007 6.0 dead in the water

    Oh, also check that your RPM while cranking is higher than 100RPM.

    Help Needed 2007 6.0 dead in the water

    I just checked my FICM by removing the cover that is held down but the two torx screws. If there are four screws under the cover then check the voltage from the screw that is closest to the driver side fender (+ lead) and the battery ground (- lead). Turn key to run and check for 48+\- 1 V...

    Shucks! It wont start.

    Well the head gaskets, studs, oil cooler, EGR cooler, coolant filter and coolant filter are in. Finally! But it won't start. I know there is a ton of cranking that must be done to get the high pressure oil system all charged up but it looks like the batteries are too low. It cranks at about...

    Help the diesel dummy

    Oil change every 5000 Fuel filters every other oil change Clean the EGR valve maybe once a year or so Put in an EGR delete kit (then cancel cleaning the EGR valve) and change the oil cooler while you have the intake mainfold off If you have the cash, put in some ARP head studs to prevent...

    Bullet Proofing my 6.0!!!

    Yeah, there is no way I can pull the engine. I did have to pull out the heater core to get the studs and the head in on the passenger side. It came out but wouldn't go back in. Putting the torque down on those head studs was a beast. I couldn't work on the truck today because my arms are...

    Bullet Proofing my 6.0!!!

    It's been a few years since I have posted to the forum and I have been lurking off and on for a while but I felt like posting about what's going on around here. So after a few years of light smoke and now a big ol' puff when I start moving from a dead start I decided it was time to do...

    '08 6.4 no start

    Change oil, filters and fuel filters in an '08 f450. We have the wrench and the oil symbol flashing. It will start after three tries but will quit in 10 seconds. We purged the fuel from the schrader valve and got the air out but still not staying running. There was quite a large amount of...

    ScanTool question

    Can you run diagnostic tests with this or just monitor stuff? Just wondering if I will have the same abilities as the dealer when it comes to troubleshooting things just in case I got it and wanted to follow some procedures in TSBs.

    I don't want to believe it yet!

    I know that is probably the best idea. I just wish I didn't have to invest so much money in something I won't use that much. When I figure out which $40 sensor failed, the ScanTool didn't pay for itself. At any rate, thanks for some reassurance that its probably not be the HPOP. I'll still...

    Question found new web site

    Wasn't that an armadillo hat? I've seen most of the vids he's got on there. Doesn't have one to solve my problems though.
