    erratic throttle

    Maybe the EGR valve is stuck open? I just pulled mine to clean it a few weeks ago, regardless of the truck running fine, and it was amazing, the amount of soot and buildup that was on it. Very cheap fix if that's the problem, but can be tough to get it out. If you have a crow-foot small...

    How concerned should I be with making the recommended mods to my 6.0?

    Thanks Dave, that pyrometer gauge is one thing I forgot to mention earlier. I agree with you 100% on this one, I definitely want to know what EGT I'm running at at any given time. What brand of gauges did you get, and how & where did you place the EGT sensor? I saw a video awhile back that...

    How concerned should I be with making the recommended mods to my 6.0?

    By now, I'm well aware of the common issues with the 6.0, and I'm also aware of the recommended items to address in order to extend the life and dependability of the engine. What I'm wondering now is, how concerned should I be with making these recommended mods to the truck? What I'm talking...

    Best Tire Size for 18x9 Wheels

    In around a year, I'll need to get new tires for my truck. I'd like to look at getting a set of custom 18x9 wheels, maybe 18x10. I want to be sure and stay within the best range of offset and backspacing so I don't kill wheel bearings. I'll probably stay with 9" width for this. With this...

    2010 f 250 starting problem

    I'm not sure what the cost would be, it's not marked down on my ticket since it's all warranty. Once they got to working on it, I think it took about 3/4 of a day.

    2010 f 250 starting problem

    I just had this same problem on my '05 6.0, and it finally got to the point where it wouldn't start at all. I've still got the dieselcare esp warranty on it, so I had it hauled into the dealer. The problem was an oil leak at the STC fitting on the Hi-Pressure Oil Pump. Up until this repair, I...

    ABS Light On, not going off this time

    The ABS light has come on my dash, and isn't going out this time. Over the past two years, I've had it come on twice, but then went back out the next time I started the truck, was spread out over several months. This time however, when I start up the truck, all the lights come on like normal...

    Engine Cranks and No-Start when already warmed up

    I'm taking my truick into the dealer on Monday to have some warranty work done on a couple of things. The big thing I'm taking it in for is an issue I've got with the truck cranking but not starting when already warmed up. This usually happens when I go to restart the truck after it's been off...

    Pinging/Detonation after restarting truck after it's already warmed up and driven

    I've got a pinging/detonation sound coming from somewhere in the exhaust system, somewhere forward of the cat. This only happens when the truck is restarted after it's been warmed up and driven already, or after it's been sitting idling for a while after being driven. I can give it some...

    Chatter/Vibration from Rear Axle with Trak Lok while in a turn

    I'm pretty sure I've narrowed down the vibration and chatter I've been feeling to my rear axle, with the trak lok posi. I've got another thread on here where I was asking about how a slipping tranny felt. The more I've been feeling this, the less I think it's tranny, since take-off, shift and...

    What does a slipping Auto Tranny feel like?

    Yep. After putting it back at stock, I can still feel the shudder mostly when I'm in R. I can still feel it a little in D, same as before, just alot less. Maybe this has been going on before, I just never noticed. This only happens when I'm starting off slow. If I try to powerbrake, or...
