    Help Needed Can't find these DTC's

    So I programmed it at Level 2. When cold, it starts and runs just fine. But when hot, I have to crank the heck out of it to get it to start. Runs fine once started. No new DTCs. This hard-starting issue just came up. Any ideas? :dunno

    Help Needed Can't find these DTC's

    Thanks Patrick. The truck is running fine, although the engine made a louder-than-usual clatter on acceleration when I left for work yesterday with a cold engine. I backed off until it warmed up, and it went away. That's part of the reason I decided to change the MaxEnergy tuning level, from...

    Help Needed Can't find these DTC's

    I went to change the Hypertech tuning level on my 2004 6.0L today, and it reported 3 codes: P0404 P1335 U0306 I found the first one, can't find the others. Anyone got a good online lookup site, or know what these are?

    Can't shift out of park?

    Works every time, thanks ;tu If it's the brake light switch, I'll need to get that fixed quick, before I get rear-ended by something bigger than me :dizzy Thanks for the help guys.

    Can't shift out of park?

    2004 F-350 6.0 Auto dually About 50% of the time I try to shift out of park, it won't release whatever lockout is in effect. I then have to go through a random number of cycles of letting off the brake, pressing the brake, try again, etc. Eventually the lockout releases, but I haven't found...

    Hypertech Max Energy or E-Con?

    Anyone running these in a 6.0? The performance increase would be nice, but my main interest is in the fuel mileage increase. 13mpg in town just sucks. How much of an increase are you seeing?

    Convert Dually to Single RW

    Don't get me wrong. All things being the same, I like the dually for what it provides. But for as little as I tow and haul these days, it's overkill that's costing me more money than necessary. I've heard of lots of folks converting TO a dually, was just curious whether anyone went the other...

    Convert Dually to Single RW

    I bought an F-350 dually cuz it was a good deal at the time, but am now finding that I think I'd rather have a SRW (less tires to replace, less rolling resistance, less chance of the wife pinstriping the dually wells). Would it be practical/cost effective to convert my dually, or just sell it...

    Thick white smoke

    In the end, they did replace the oil cooler, egr cooler, and egr valve. I'll look into the coolant filter. Thanks guys.

    Thick white smoke

    Damn keanoknick, you're good! I just talked to the dealer, they're replacing the EGR cooler. Oil cooler was leaking too, so they're replacing that. All under the factory diesel warranty. ;tu

    Thick white smoke

    Degas bottle was almost empty (cold). It wasn't like that a couple weeks ago. I dropped it off at the dealer last night. :(

    Thick white smoke

    '04 6.0, 50k miles. Yesterday leaving work, I noticed a lot of white smoke coming out the tailpipe. It cleared up after about 10 minutes. The engine ran fine the whole time. It did it again later that evening going to pick up my daughter - thick white smokescreen behind me for about 10...

    Mileage

    Yeah, I need to find out for sure. Sticker says 9400 empty. Yes, total height is 12' 6". Yeah, stock muffler. I could live with 11-12 towing my 5er. 14 around town seems low. Before I mess with mods, I just wanted to find out if somethings wrong with my truck, or if those numbers are...

    Mileage

    I have an '04 DRW F-350 Crew Cab. I've been getting 12-16mpg in the city, no extra weight. I have a 5th wheel toy hauler that according to the sticker weighs just under 10k full of gas and water, so let's say under 12k with the dirt bike and quad, plus clothes, etc. Towing on mostly flat...

    Vin number

    I finally remembered to crawl under and look. I saw a tag that had "4.10" on it. :o
