    Still smokin'

    On second thought, I am going to run it down to a shop my friend runs and get him to do an injector contribution test on it. I'm starting to think that might be the problem.

    Still smokin'

    So i did head studs, egr and oil cooler and I still have white smoke. Here is the deal. When the engine is cold there is no smoke at all. Once the engine has some time to warm up, usually a couple minutes, it will puff some white smoke. This only happens when I start from a dead stop. The...

    Shucks! It wont start.

    Charged batteries overnight. Cranked it and it started on the third try!

    Shucks! It wont start.

    Is that right? I have been reading stuff like 100RPM. I guess I need to do more digging around. Thanks for the info. And, since I can't read a gauge, I was getting more like 200RPM. Do you think that the low batteries could be it? I am pretty sure you can't diagnose my problems over the...

    Help Needed 2007 6.0 dead in the water

    Oh, also check that your RPM while cranking is higher than 100RPM.

    Help Needed 2007 6.0 dead in the water

    I just checked my FICM by removing the cover that is held down but the two torx screws. If there are four screws under the cover then check the voltage from the screw that is closest to the driver side fender (+ lead) and the battery ground (- lead). Turn key to run and check for 48+\- 1 V...

    Shucks! It wont start.

    Well the head gaskets, studs, oil cooler, EGR cooler, coolant filter and coolant filter are in. Finally! But it won't start. I know there is a ton of cranking that must be done to get the high pressure oil system all charged up but it looks like the batteries are too low. It cranks at about...

    Help the diesel dummy

    Oil change every 5000 Fuel filters every other oil change Clean the EGR valve maybe once a year or so Put in an EGR delete kit (then cancel cleaning the EGR valve) and change the oil cooler while you have the intake mainfold off If you have the cash, put in some ARP head studs to prevent...

    Bullet Proofing my 6.0!!!

    Yeah, there is no way I can pull the engine. I did have to pull out the heater core to get the studs and the head in on the passenger side. It came out but wouldn't go back in. Putting the torque down on those head studs was a beast. I couldn't work on the truck today because my arms are...

    Bullet Proofing my 6.0!!!

    It's been a few years since I have posted to the forum and I have been lurking off and on for a while but I felt like posting about what's going on around here. So after a few years of light smoke and now a big ol' puff when I start moving from a dead start I decided it was time to do...

    '08 6.4 no start

    Change oil, filters and fuel filters in an '08 f450. We have the wrench and the oil symbol flashing. It will start after three tries but will quit in 10 seconds. We purged the fuel from the schrader valve and got the air out but still not staying running. There was quite a large amount of...

    ScanTool question

    Can you run diagnostic tests with this or just monitor stuff? Just wondering if I will have the same abilities as the dealer when it comes to troubleshooting things just in case I got it and wanted to follow some procedures in TSBs.

    I don't want to believe it yet!

    I know that is probably the best idea. I just wish I didn't have to invest so much money in something I won't use that much. When I figure out which $40 sensor failed, the ScanTool didn't pay for itself. At any rate, thanks for some reassurance that its probably not be the HPOP. I'll still...

    Question found new web site

    Wasn't that an armadillo hat? I've seen most of the vids he's got on there. Doesn't have one to solve my problems though.

    I don't want to believe it yet!

    So here is another 6.0 going to crap. I've done alot of digging but haven't found anything that matched what I've got to the T. So here it is. I pay way to much attention to my engine at all times. So naturally, I noticed that it didn't really want to stay at a constant idle about two...

    mystery oil smoke

    I got under there with a flashlight and it seems that I have the leak from the bedplate. It starts at the front, runs down to the oil pan then follows that back to the transmission. I'm not sure that this has anything to do with the burning oil today. Maybe the cold weather caused it to put...

    mystery oil smoke

    I know its been a while since I've been around but this new hotness is driving me for some suggestions. I've had some oil seepage from somewhere at the back of the engine for most of the time I've had the truck. It flows down around the bell housing. It's not enough to drip into the...

    Guess what...

    Its been a while since I've been here so I thought I'd let you in on a little secret. Here is a little background. I bought a 1993 Saturn SL1 for $700 the other day and did a little work to it to get it in tip top shape. This thing is going to save me some cash for sure. Anyway, I pulled the...

    Rats!!

    I found out why my diesel source went from $3.75 to $4.68 two weeks ago. Yeah, I was luck for a while but, as I feared, it ran out. The reason boils my blood even more. I found out from a friend that the diesel I was buying on the navy base was from a local guy who was buying his vegi oil...

    note Here's something gauranteed to [make you furious]

    You can't blame them though. Well you might but you wouldn't if were any product other than energy because it wouldn't be in the spotlight. Its probably been this way for years.

    What the hell is up with Superlift?!

    Are you working on military run internet. If you are, then I know your pain. If you haven't purchased a lift yet then I'd go with Donahoe Racing. I've got nothing but good things to say about them and I did call their customer service a few times. They might not have what you are looking for...

    SMART CAR's are pretty tough...

    If the car is so smart, why didn't it get out of the way? Looks like its still just like our dumb ol' cars.

    photos Dodged a bullet! (twice!)

    You know I'd have been out there with my camera too until the last minute. A tornado might destroy my house...but not before I take his picture. I'll sure show him.
