    Dead stereo?

    Check your power wire, is it getting power? Check the ground wire also.

    Chiming code problem

    My 01 SD F250 did the same thing, a blinking 2-7 code until one day it stopped and the beeping took over!! A Ford tech buddy of mine put his tester on it, it said I had an "open circuit". He said the problem was most likely in the passenger side air bag cut off switch there on the dash. He...

    Truck Cap Q's?

    I have an 01 SD F250 with the proper cap and it looks good. Personally I think the raised cap looks goofy. I doubt you are going to get your toys in the back with a cap on, raised or not. But, put the toys on a trailer and all of your gear under the cap and it'll stay nice and dry and you...

    Need a winch, suggestions?

    Get a Warn and don't look back. When you NEED a winch you want it to work without having to 'work on it'. After 15 years of off roading I wouldn't own anything but a Warn winch. And be sure to buy enough winch, a PS diesel an't light, your truck weighs over 7100 lb. empty. Make sure the 2"...

    how to disable seatbelt "chime"

    Well, I tried CHP's 9 steps to 'no seat belt chims' on my 01 SD and it didn't work. So...I tried it 5 more times and I still get the seat belt chimes. I may try looking under the seats for the little 'gray plug', that should fix it. I also tried it on my hunting buddies 06 gas F150 and it...

    Wastegate code???

    Thanks for the info on the wastegate. But, I still have questions about the P1249 code. Could any member tell me if that is something I should worry about? I would hate to have a small problem turn into a LARGER one. Hal

    Wastegate code???

    I checked my codes today to try to solve an airbag problem, most of you 'older ford guys' know that there are no airbag codes. Well, I got a P1249 code which says' Wastegate failed steady state test'. Is this something I should be concerned about? And, what is the 'wastegate' anyway? I have...

    P0603 Code???

    Thanks for all of the info on my problem. Sat. AM I stopped by my local Ford dealer to talk to one of their diesel tech's. As it truned out I had taught the guy science when he was in the 8th grade!! He suggested changing both gasket/harness out while it was apart and even told the parts guy...

    P0603 Code???

    I feel a LOT better now, thanks a LOT!!! I'll jump on the job in the AM before it gets to H O T. If I have to replace a wire do I just splice it into the harness or tape up the arcing area? I hope I get lucky and the harness just worked loose. I'm not a rookie, just a novice with anything...

    P0603 Code???

    Thanks for the info Bryan. If it is my UVC harness how do I fix it? Do I have to take the valve covers off? There's a LOT of 'turbo stuff' on top of the valve covers if they have to be removed. I had an injector come unpluged on my 22RE Toyota off road truck once and my SD is running a LOT...

    P0603 Code???

    OK, what is the SCMT?? And what if anything can I do about it? I'm not getting the 1316 anymore but, what is the UVC harness? I'm not a dummy but I don't have a clue what these things are...

    P0603 Code???

    HELP!! My 01 SD died on the way home from work today. The check engin lite came on and it would hardly run. I used my Superchips tuner to check the codes and got two, a P0603 and a P1316. I then cleared the codes hoping it would run better but...it would barly run. I made it home and...
