    Question injector change no start

    You have to have good batteries to get enough current to spin the engine over at a good rate or it will not start. Make sure you have good batteries that are fully charged and then try it again. I am not sure how many rpms you need to get it to fire. My 6.0 needs 500 rpms to start. :dunno

    Correct tire pressure

    Run what the tire manufacture recommends for your weight 110 psi cold. Going up in elevation does not change the tire pressure. If you are overloaded, it is up to you.

    Question Black Smoke Under hard Acceleration

    You need to get it scanned to solve your black smoke issue. Everything else would be guessing. YOU can get a scanner at a local Auto Parts Store. Make sure it can read CAN codes and you are good to go.

    Question Stuck in 4x4

    Well, my next guess would be the electric transfer case motor.

    Question Stuck in 4x4

    There is a whole bunch of stuff that causes the 'no shift' problems. The transfer case is shifted by a motor that is actuated by the solenoid. I have never owned a SOTF transfer case. I like MANUAL hubs and transfer cases, and this is why. You had better find a 4 X 4 mechanic to help you...

    Question Dually conversion

    No, you will need to find another rear end or decrease the width. By how much I don't know right now. Better start lookin for a dually rear end

    She is not as aggressive as you are. My Mother was the same way in a car, she would go faster than most traffic but did not like to pass others.

    Maintenance is the key to diesel trucks. They will run for a long time if you keep up on the maintenance. A couple of tips; use quality filters like Motorcraft oil and fuel filters. Wal Mart has them cheap. Have fun!

    Mine does too, most of the time. BUT when I drive it, I drive it like I stole it! I am no kid by any means and I am hard on all equipment and tools. :D

    No guarantees, as with all things diesel. Maintenance is the KEY to long life. Do your regular maintenance every 5,000 miles or whatever Ford says, and you should be golden.

    I would keep an eye on it. Does it drive OK? Turn on the headlights just after it starts and see if they change in brightness.
