    Trouble starting

    FICM could be going bad. Scan your truck and tell us what codes come up. Mine did the hard state and then died. Your time might be short.

    6.0 issues

    You are right snicklas, the HPOP only makes oil pressure. It is the oil pressure that pressurizes the injectors, correct?

    That fuel pressure if from the tank to the HPOP (High Pressure Oil Pump). The HPOP ups the fuel pressure to something like 3000 (three thousand) PSI or more, to the injectors. It sounds like you are GTG if the truck runs good.

    Hello from Oregon

    The first truck I bought was a 1972 F-250 with a 4 Spd and power steering. No AC or power anything. I was shocked when I saw the Out-the-Door price of $4,040.00 and 46 years later they are going for $100,000!

    Truck surges on startup from cold, fine after running a few minutes

    These engines are known to surge when cold starting. This is due to the oil, 15W 40 is what the factory puts in. I changed to 5W 40 and the surging went away. I have never heard of the alternator causing surging.

    Need wiring help

    You can use the wiring on the tow plug (4 wire or 7 wire) to get to the brake lights but these have blinkers tied into them. The third brake light in NOT in the tow wiring, as I recall.

    2015 6.7 ticking noise right side

    What are they telling you? Are you getting anything for your non-use of your truck? When do they think it will be put back together? I am stating nothing specific to the 6.7, just want to know more relevant information. :)

    :welcome to SDD! Does your headlight switch have a fog position? If so, you have everything. Just plug them in and they SHOULD work. :)

    Question 6.0 whistle/whine with white smoke at startup

    The other thing about forums, is that you tell the complete store. "I got codes X0001 & X00013". All codes mean something and maybe a clue to what is going on with your truck, so tell us all of the codes you get.

    Bearing question

    Bearing ware is no more a problem with the 6.0 than any other engine. Head gasket failure was the number 1 problem and I see you are going to be doing head studs. This should NOT be a problem after the head studs. I have not chipped my truck and it is running great, for a stocker. I have...

    Fire near Our town of Ukiah, CA

    No, the fire(s) are at least ten miles or more. Winds are blowing smoke away from Ukiah. So of this afternoon, the fire has not consumed any more acreage and is almost under control. My info is from our local newspaper and the Sheriff's office on FaceBook.

    Sunday afternoon about 2;30 pm I saw smoke in the skys north of us. It turns out that a car had caught fire along the Willits Grade, north of Ukiah about 10 miles. The car quickly set the dry grass on fire and it quickly escalated to 900 acres by dark last night. I know there are at least 15...
