    6.0L Questions

    Why have the dealer screw with the truck. I've read about and continue to read the diesel forums about this engine with all the leak concerns. I'm used to the Big 3 engines leaking, wether built inhouse or by someone else. If the engine starts pouring oil out all over the ground, then...

    Block drains

    There should be a block drain behind the starter. I was planning on changing my coolant this past Saturday but didn't get to it. Hopefully in the next two weeks.

    Planet Ford

    The MAP sensor, Barometeric pressure sensor and the Exhaust pressure sensor should all read the same value key on engine off. Course you need a scanner to read these values. Possible EBP sensor tube is blocked with carbon and oil deposits. If that is the case a code may not be set. The EBP...

    Saving $$$$$$

    I achieve 18mpg when I set my cruise control to keep the tachometer at the first mark to the left of 2000rpm mark which should be about 1750rpm. Vehicle speed indicated on my speedometer shows 61-62mph. I travel in the far right lane all the time and even the big rigs try to move me out of...

    Transmission service interval?

    Your owners manual states transmission fluid and external filter replacement should be performed every 30,000 miles. EDIT: I first changed my trans fluid, the trans pan filter and the external bypass filter at 22,000 miles. I have 73,000+ miles now and will be changing again soon.

    Got me a new problem

    For what it's worth: My 2004 was sounding like the engihne speed was increasing and decreasing when the cruise control was set however no driveability problems were noted or felt. I had no out of ordinary noises at idle. I checked codes and had several EGR codes stored in memory. I...
