    Fuel in the oil

    A month ago I pulled out on the highway and pushed the truck a little. About 1/2 mile down the road it began rolling smoke out the back but not exhaust, it was burning oil. I stopped and looked under the truck and down the passenger side was coated with oil. Just enough to burn on the exhaust...

    2003 6.0 impacting vacation no start

    I am no expert but I was told that the FICM power should be 48 and that it should not drop while cranking. Some say if the power drops to 30 or 35 there is major FICM issues. Just throwing this out. I have read and watched dozens of web sites and videos and I am still learning. Hope you get it...

    Early 99 tranny work

    I used to build transmissions and a good shop will clean and inspect every piece before using and some they just replace because of stress and normal ware and tare. If you have that many miles on that tranny, I would use it as a core and get a replacement. This way you get a transmission that...

    Help Needed 6.0 no start

    Found several things. Batteries were 10 years old. Starter was shot, made in China. A/C pump frozen solid. Last owner put a lot of money into getting it bullet proofed and then threw cheap parts on it after that or at least just to sell it off. I am replacing all filters and checking everything...

    Who trains their dogs

    I have been working with dogs sense the military and I think the most important thing is bonding with your dog. This way they just want nothing more than to please you. They will learn what you expect of them and do it. Little dogs can be a challenge and lots more work but can be trained. I have...

    I love my Power Stroke!!!!

    I have an 06 F-250 SD with the 6.0L and I have 285x70x17's on it and when the turbo kicks in it lights those big tires up. Good thing the rear end locks up or the back would be all over the road. I was a dedicated GM owner most of my life with a few Dodges along the way. I don't think that I...

    Help Needed 6.0 no start

    Need help bad. Don't want the wife walking 3/4 of a mile up a steep hill. Ran great all day. Came home and sat in the driveway for about five hours. Went to crank and it sounds fast as usual and then suddenly it dropped the speed that it was cranking over. It sounds like it wants to start but...
