    VGT Relearn Procedure?

    Got everything back together and did Flopster's DIY relearn procedure - I never once heard any VGT spooling and all my radio presets were still there, so I guess my KAM won out on that procedure. Either way, I appreciate all the help and the VGT seems to be even more smooth and strong than...

    VGT Relearn Procedure?

    I pulled the VGT tonight and did the entire reconditioning procedure in about 4 hours. None of the vanes were stuck, but a good cleaning really smoothed out the movement. I'm going to put everything back on and button up tomorrow night and I'll post final results. Thanks for all the help!

    VGT Relearn Procedure?

    Another related question - is there any way to tell if I actually need to do the relearn procedure? The ford DTS article only mentions 2003 trucks, but I've read somewhere that it needs to be done on early '04 trucks. My Oasis report (I guess that's what it's called - it's a printout my dealer...

    VGT Relearn Procedure?

    Thanks for the excellent info - In the relearn instructions you posted, once the truck is up to temp shouldn't I shut it down first before unhooking the grounds and turning on the lightswitch? This seems obvious 'cause I don't want do die cleaning my turbo, but the only stupid question is the...

    VGT Relearn Procedure?

    I misquoted the article a little - The passage is at the bottom under "Tech Tips" and says 2003 trucks with recall 06E17 will have to have the VGT Learn procedure performed or driveability concerns will result. Bushpilot, I've only had the truck about 3 months and it's got 112000 on it - I just...

    VGT Relearn Procedure?

    I was going to pull the turbo and recondition it per the instructions on the Ford Diesel Tech Society page and they mention '03's and early '04's need to have the VGT Relearn procedure done or else damage could result. Anyone know what that is and how to do it? Thanks!

    Recall Questions

    Thanks, so you suggest that I just do the 2 recalls and make sure they don't reflash if I'm not having problems?

    Recall Questions

    My dealer informed me that my truck ('04 King Ranch 250) should have recalls #05S34 and 05E15 done. He also told me that I'm eligible for a 59B01 test drive. My question is have any of you experienced negative effects from performing the above recalls - I've read alot of bad stuff about the...

    EGR Cooler & Intake Install

    The actual turbo comes off much earlier in the process - what I'm wondering is if it's easier to attach the EGR cooler to the intake manifold and try to lay them in together, or attach the EGR cooler rear to the exhaust tube that goes into the turbo and THEN lay the Intake manifold on top of...
