    Turbo Problem

    Just in case anyone is actually reading this thread, I found out that my turbo problem was that one of the clamps holding the turbo and the exhaust manifold together wasnt on good, and it was causing an exhaust leak at the turbo that sounded alot like metal dragging against the inside of the...

    Turbo Problem

    actually looked at both of those links already. I appreciate the help. If I end up replacing the turbo, I would appreciate any suggestions on which ones I should look at as a replacement. I would like to keep it as close to stock as possible. A slight upgrade wouldn't bother me, though, as...

    Turbo Problem

    gonna pull the turbo again. Anything I need to keep in mind? Didn't seem to be too hard the first time, aside from the seized bolts. Then again, it also isn't working the same, so I guess its harder than I thought.

    Turbo Problem

    Guys, I appreciate any help you can give me. I just spend the weekend changing the EGR cooler hose, the little orange one under the turbo, and the ICP sensor on my 03 6.0L. I had to remove the Turbo in 2 pieces because the bolts securing it to the bracket were seized, and there was no other way...

    power problem

    I was wondering if a bad injector would show up on a diagnostic computer when retrieving any codes you might have. My truck is sometimes hard starting even in warm weather (sometimes even stalling out the first time I start it), but it runs fine once it has warmed up. The only thing I can think...

    power problem

    I did not check the temp switch, didn't even know about it. How does the switch control the fuel injection (just for my personal knowledge, always looking to learn), where is it at, and what am I supposed to be looking for? Bushpilot-thanks for the helpful info and links

    power problem

    Thanks for the suggestions. I did have a chance to take it to a mechanic with a diagnostic computer and he pulled 3 codes that all had something to do with with the EGR. I was wondering what a new one cost (thanks for letting me know) because I was wondering if it was worth the effort to just...

    power problem

    I know I don't have to post just when I have problems, but I am more of a be seen and not heard kinda guy, I like to read more than respond. I learn more that way...anyway I don't have any gauges, the truck is bone stock. There are no warning lights that come on, and the boost feels fine...

    power problem

    I hate posting because that means I have problems, but I know I can get good adive here, so any advice would be appreciated. I have an '03 6.0L F250 with 130K on it. The fuel filters have been changed about 10K ago. Yesterday as I was going to a job site, I came to a stop at a stop sign...
