    egr cooler help

    I had an EGR delete kit put on mine and it was 700 bucks for a good kit with new exaust pipe pieces and labor. Would have been 950 for a new cooler and have it installed. My understanding is that when a cooler starts leaking there is a good chance that a head gasket has blown and the cooler is...

    how many miles do you have on your 6.0ltr

    225000 on my 07 and in the last 20000 miles I replaced the FICUM, head gaskets and studs, oil cooler, high pressure exaust gas sen. and put an EGR delete kit on it. Up until then the only problem I had was with EGRs.

    202500 miles on my 07

    Yep I haul Keystone products out of Goshen for Starfleet and things have gotten slow for us too. Ive been waiting for a load since Thurs. and Im not picky where I go. As for a pic I will have my wife post them. I takes me all day to figure out how.

    202500 miles on my 07

    I bought it new in Feb. of 07 and half the miles are towing miles. I tow from 18 ft. travel trailers to 40 ft. 5th wheels with weights from 2500 to 16000 pounds. This truck does get a workout and I hope I can keep it going 2 more years. I figured I would have replaced the tranny by now but so...

    Sluggish shifting & Turbo lag

    Nope its a single rear wheel (11500 GVW) with 18s on it. Actually I average about 63 or so, anymore than that and my milage goes in the crapper. I get a solid 20 to 21 unloaded on the highway and between 9 and 12 loaded depending on what Im hooked to. It has the 3.73 rears which help a bunch.

    Sluggish shifting & Turbo lag

    About the only time that truck aint running is when Im waiting for a load. If its running its moving. I put it through some extremes last year. I was in Red Deer Alberta on week in Jan. -22 deg without the wind chill and in Daytona Beach Florida the next week +81 deg. What a difference...

    Sluggish shifting & Turbo lag

    Sorry it took me a while to get back to you. Ive been out of town. A Tech at the Ford dealer I go to lives near me and he did it. The dealer wanted 5 hours of shop time ($70 an hour) and 50 bucks for parts. This guy did it in one evening and it cost me $150. I figure It will pay for itself...

    Sluggish shifting & Turbo lag

    Nope not a typo its up to 193500 now. According to the tech that cleaned it he said that the turbo was the newest design on the 6.0. The truck had a hick up but I think we have the problem solved. I cut an O-Ring on the EGR when I was putting a new one in and it was just small enough to cause...

    Sluggish shifting & Turbo lag

    I had the turbo torn apart and cleaned a couple weeks ago on my 07 when it had 185000 miles on it and what a difference that made. I knew that the turbo lag was getting worse but after it was cleaned the lag was almost gone, the power was back and my fuel milage went up. I wish I would have...

    Hello All and racking my brain

    Thats what I thought it was. I had a tech go down the road with the computer hooked up and he mentioned that but said it was ok. Im about as mechanically inclined as a rock so I always have lots to learn.

    Hello All and racking my brain

    Only mod I have done is a K and N air filter system. Kinda forgive me guys but Im not sure what a H.P.O.P. is. I wasnt sure on an injector being so RPM specific but that is my next thing to look at. Does a bad injector usually put out white exhaust? Im not getting that. This is my 4th Power...
