    2008 6.4l f450

    and the saga ends So, after a month at the dealer, I finally got the truck back. Injectors replaced (x2), HP/ LP fuel pump replaced (x2) and all fuel lines replaced... truck works fine now. Dealership said there was some debris in the fuel. Watch out for bad diesel.

    2008 6.4l f450

    At the dealership I talked to a few guys locally and they said the same thing. They also said that it may be a throttle sensor. Started the truck up at the hotel and the problem came back. Shut it off and restarted... no wrench, no throttle probs and ran like it normally does/ should. Still...

    2008 6.4l f450

    Truck was driven from Charleston to Myrtle Beach with no issues. Went to start up after a few hours and nothing happened. Engine would crank but would not fire up. The wrench light came illuminated on the dash. Hooked up jumper cables to the wife's car and the truck fired up, but ran VERY rough...

    Well, it seems that a computer update took care of the job. EGR is good... for now. Thanks for the help everyone.

    Well, they don't have to know about the puddle :). Looks like I'm making a trip to the local dealer.

    Egr

    I hit a water puddle going in to work the other night (no, I didn't see it). My check engine light came on and I couldn't get the truck to go more than about 25 MPH. I was able to slowly push on the gas to get the truck to come up to highway speeds, but if I mashed the gas, the truck went...

    '08 6.4 no start

    After two days of trying to figure this out with no luck, draining both batteries twice, and a tow to the local dealer.... here is the outcome. Somehow, the high pressure side of the fuel system was still airbound after repeated attempts to purge the low pressure side. But, I'm back up and...

    08 F450 won't start

    Just wondering if anyone else may have experienced this. I changed out the oil and filter and both fuel filters yesterday. Put everything back together, and now the truck won't start. I get the "wrench" and "oil pressure" warnings on the dash display. I've purged the air from the fuel lines...

    stock radio backlight

    Anyone else have issues with the stock radio head unit backlight going out? Not sure if there is a bulb out or just loose wires. Do I have to remove half of the dash to get the radio out so I can check the wire connections at the back of the radio? 2008 F450 Lariat Superduty DRW 4x4

    Dual 5' Firestik tuning issue

    The antennas are as far apart as I can get them (width of the truck bed). That is still the case though, something like 8 feet is ideal for separation. It's supposed to rain all day today and for the next few days to follow. I guess I'll have to drive around looking like I have a working cb...

    Dual 5' Firestik tuning issue

    I am having issues setting the SWR and can't get the red antenna light to go away on Ch. 1 or 40 when trying to calibrate. I am using a Cobra 29 LTD Nightwatch with dual 5' Firestik II antennas and stake mount antenna holders. I've checked for grounds and shorts in the coax, and it checks out...
