    Alternator/Battery Question

    I just had to replace both batteries in my 2006. Seems to be the normal lifespan of these things. I checked around for something better to replace them with but even had an independent auto electric guy send me to the dealer to buy the Motorcrafts since they have been the best for this...

    ABS Light

    What the stealership gave me for the VSS for this truck (2006 F350) was part# 6L3Z-9E731-A (DY-1073) for a bargain price of $116 CDN. Ouch!! The parts guy said it is superceded to this.

    ABS Light

    Truly wierd. I'm in Canada but the exchange rate difference shouldn't make that much of a difference. I did some Googling around and found a reference to another Part# - F85Z-2L373-AB. Typical prices on the internet for that one seem to be around $30 but maybe it is for an older model or...

    ABS Light

    Does anyone have the part# for the VSS in an '06? I just went to the dealership and they want to charge me $120 for one and had to order it in. Maybe the parts dude is on drugs and picked the wrong sensor??

    VGT Turbo TSB

    I have an 2006. I was at my dealership last week and got the turbo cleaned as it was all sooted up and the unison ring was not moving properly. Luckily they cover it under warranty since it is part of the emissions control system extended warranty. They referred to something called "Cleaning...

    Help Needed 2005 6.0 Diesel Turbo issue

    Noticed a similar issue on my '06 a couple of days ago while hauling a heavy trailer load of lumber. Going up hills it seemed down on power but the boost gage was sitting up around 30 psi. As soon as I lift the pressure on the gas pedal I could hear a scraping noise (about 3 bursts of sound)...

    Hot rear brakes?

    I have been having smoking issues with the driver's side rear brakes on my '06 (about 94,000 km.) so dropped it off at the dealer this morning. Just got a call from the service writer and said it has a sticky actuator (whatever that is). Luckily not a bad caliper problem. They said that the...

    Hot rear brakes?

    I have a 2006 F350 PSD DRW and noticed one of my rear brakes smelling badly and smoking on the weekend. I was speaking with a buddy of mine that also has a similar truck and had the brakes serviced on it recently. The Ford dealer he took it to said that the rear calipers are prone to failure...

    Electrical Gremlins - 2006 SD F350 PSD DRW

    Found it - problem solved. A ground was loose under the driver's side of the dash. Took 5 hrs. labour at the local dealership to find it - ouch!!!

    Electrical Gremlins - 2006 SD F350 PSD DRW

    Having some wierd intermittent electrical problems and the dealer service dept. are scratching their heads. Just thought I would post this up in case it sounds familiar to someone on here. The check engine light has come on randomly without any evidence of a problem with driveability. The...

    ABS light

    Funny you should mention this. My ABS light (2006 F350 SD PSD) just came on the other day for no reason. Turned on the truck the next morning and it was still on - then after about 10 mins. on the road - it went out and hasn't returned (yet). WTF???

    Superchips 1750 Micro Max Tuner

    I am looking to pick up an OBDII code reader for doing diagnostics and reset the MEL on my 2006 PSD (6.0 ltr.) F350 SD. It would also be noce to have a tool that could be used to check some performance parameters as well. The documentation on this tuner is unclear if it will support the...

    12v to trailer turns off when ignition off

    It's a 2006 F350 Crew DRW with the trailer package. So there should be a seperate accessory wire and a charge wire in the 7 position plug or is this the same thing? My trailer has electric brakes with a small battery for the safety breakaway so I should be able to tap into this line and...

    12v to trailer turns off when ignition off

    I am thinking of installing a battery inside the trailer to power the 12V trailer lights and an inverter for 110V AC for other misc. uses (like an AC radio). Could I just use one of those battery isolator units they use for RV's to tap re-charging current from the trailer harness going to the...
