    Injector pressure regulator replacement $2200 !!!!!??

    Actually they're also installing an egr delete, and a new IPR. I'm estimating about $1800 in labor alone. IS this excessive!? It seems really high to me.

    Help Needed P r n d 3 2 1

    The indicator needle has slipped/gotten out of adjustment. When in Park it points about to R. When in D it points to 3. Is there a way to adjust the indicator needle, or has something likely broken? I'm not even sure where to begin to look.

    Help, Took HFCM apart, parts fell out

    Dave, what I really need is a blow up of the return valve. The dealership mechanic said it is broken, that's why it came out in pieces. The problem is I don't see anything broken, I'm not sure I have all the pieces, and I can't figure out how to put the valve back together

    Help, Took HFCM apart, parts fell out

    and I don't know how they go back together. I have a 2003 6.0, I took the fuel water separator cover off to change the drain plug since it is stripped. I have a black plastic piece that seems to fit in the upper compartment. I also have a plastic valve with springs, and another valve I believe...

    2011 SuperDuty

    The issue with the newer trucks is with higher levels( say 50% or better) of BD. Prior to 2011 the regen cycles would inject fuel late in the exhaust cycle having it vaporize and travel down to the DPF. The problem is BD vaporizes at a higher temp, too high for that late in the cycle. This...

    Anyone use Biodiesel?

    Also Bd has been proven to have better lubricity than Petrodiesel. As for SVO the jury is still out. Most feel that any common rail system should not use SVO or WVO. There are some new treatments (centrifuge) that may make SVO and WVO acceptable. I know of a few who are mixing centrifuged WVO...

    Anyone use Biodiesel?

    I've been running BD for about 50,000 miles. I always pass a 3/27 test, then water wash and keep soap below 100ppm. I had a weird occurrence a few months ago the FICM and all 8 injectors went all at once. I can't believe that event was fuel related though. If you have a DPF prior to 2011, BD...

    3003 radio wiring colr codes?

    2003 radio wiring color codes? My damn chilton manual doesn't show them for anything past 2002. My truck is a 2003, I need to know the colors for the L and R front, + and - .

    Air Dog causing no start?

    My truck wouldn't start, virtually no fuel pressure (maybe 10 PSI). I disconnected the Air Dog unit to isolate the fuel pump. I turned the key on and suddenly got 55 PSI. Plugged in the Air Dog unit and pressure raised to 60 PSI. Shut truck down and tried to restart, again not enough pressure...

    Help Needed Won't start. Using auto enginuity

    No, I didn't run out of fuel, in fact I had 3/4 of a tank. I had 55 PSI fuel pressure to the fuel bowl. I do run Biodiesel, Lately 50%. The dealer tried to make an issue of that, but I told him, look I've been running Bio for over 2 years, 50,000 Miles. It makes no sense that all eight would go...

    Help Needed Won't start. Using auto enginuity

    Ok, I really need my truck, so I sent it to the dealer. They said that my FICM was definitely bad. They replaced it, and still no injector buzz. They replaced one injector and reran the buzz test again. The replacement injector buzzed. So they replaced the rest of the injectors. The good news is...

    New Ficm, still fails the Buzz test, No Noises what so ever. I'm going to replace the #8 injector to see if it will start to buzz, That way I'll know if its that all the injectors that are bad, or if I need to look somewhere else. That injector tests in a balanced condition anyway.

    No codes concerning the FICM. It seems that no buzz test is the definitive answer though.
