    Engine running crappy

    I'm going to try all that but after doing alot of reading I'm leaning toward the ficm. Went to start it one day and it seemed like the batteries were a little weak and from what I understand a voltage drop will damage the ficm. That make any sense?

    Engine running crappy

    Update: Cleaned EGR & turbo. Neither was badly gunked up. Also changed fuel filter. No significant change in the way it runs.

    Engine running crappy

    no tests on the injectors. Haven't been to ford yet, had it scanned at the trans place. Fuel filters changed at 67,000. air at 70,000. Had an Edge/attitude but took it off to eliminate it as the problem. Probalbly why I have the KAM code.

    4X not engaging

    I spoke to someone that had the same problem. It was the solenoid on the right fender. The vacuum hose runs thru it and there is an electrical connection to it. Anyone know if there is a way to test it

    Help Needed No power

    Happened recently to me. Same year truck 66,000 miles. It got alittle better as it warmed up but not much. Turned out to be the turbo(dirty). Took it off and cleaned it. It ran like a new truck. Never really noticed how much power it was slowly losing over time.

    4X not engaging

    Thanks Guys. Can't hear the vacuum pump but maybe I just don't notice it with the engine noise. Tried tracing hoses best I could, the way they're run is difficult, and didn't see any obvious breaks. Heater,AC, controls all work fine.
