    Engine cleaning

    If I remember correctly the diesel engine supplement included with the owner's manual discusses the process of cleaning your engine and what you should do to protect various components. Hope this helps.

    how many miles do you have on your 6.0ltr

    Bought my truck one year ago this week with 29,000 miles on it. My parents owned the truck prior to me. When they had it, three injectors failed due to bad fuel, and the egr needed to be cleaned. Rear axle pinion seal was seeping too. The Truck needed both drivers side ball joints replaced to...

    Fuel Filter(s)

    I guess that's a deal for some but I can buy the filters for $51 with tax at my ford parts counter and do the work for free and it fits my schedule. Save the wheeling and dealing for the big ticket repairs when you really need it.

    Tire Decision

    Stick with the Load Range E tires. You're going to be asking a lot of the tires when you are carrying the snow plow around. Additionally the lower air pressure in a max inflated "D" tire is going to equate to more heat than a max inflated "E" tire, especially during the summer months when...

    Burning oil

    How much have you driven the truck since it was sitting? Does the white smoke only occur when cold or is it after every start up when you first accelerate. What kind of fuel are you using in the truck (i.e. Low Sulphur Diesel - 500 ppm or Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel - 15 ppm)? Are you using an...

    Question '06 6.0 perf parts time help

    X2 JetPilot1, I couldn't have said it better myself!!! I just did exactly what you described to prep my truck for a cross country road trip coming up in two weeks, including a bypass filter on the engine AND the transmission.

    rear axle anti-sway bar

    My 03 Crew Cab Long Bed has one from the factory. It was part of the Camper Package. I also know that all dualies come standard with it. My truck seems pretty stable, but then again I haven't driven one without a sway bar either to compare it.

    Help Needed no warm start

    No stupid questions here...welcome aboard. HPOP stands for High Pressure Oil Pump. This pump receives oil from the oil pump that lubricates the engine. The HPOP supplies a high pressure oil circuit that is used to fire the fuel injectors. The fitting on the 2005 trucks was a redesigned...

    SuperDuty Tow & Transport Pics (What Are You Pulling Out There)

    Found a few more of the truck doing what it does best... Picture #1 - Intermediate Propulsion shafts from a tug boat I work on. Picture #2 - Hauling my brother's 1990 Bronco over to the off road shop for an alignment after he put a 6" lift and 35's on it. Picture #3 - Hauling my parents New...

    Need Help! trailer wiring

    To expand on what they have said, your owner's manual will give you a circuit by circuit listing of what fuses protect what and the location of the serviceable fuses, circuit breakers, relays, and fusible links. Hope this helps, and good luck.

    Question What did you do to your truck today?

    Last weekend I did and oil change, fuel filter change, installed FS-2500 bypass filters on the engine and transmission, and then I washed it because it was nasty from all the salty roads.

    Fuel Filter(s)

    Here's what I do on my truck. Since you have to change both filters at the same time start with the engine mounted filter. Using the correct socket, I believe 36mm on the 08's and up, pop the cap loose but leave it resting in the housing. Next crawl under the truck with a catch pan that can...

    photos New light bar install .........

    Heavy Assault, that's a nice looking bar and an excellent find. Glad to hear that the quality of construction surpassed your expectations, and it definitely looks badass on your truck, but then, your truck was badass looking before the bar too!!!! I love the look of a lifted superduty with a...

    body questions

    Your F550 chassis cab truck has a different Cab to Axle (CA)distance than a regular F250 or F350 pickup. Your chassis cab truck has a 60" CA versus the pickups with a 56" CA. Additionally, chassis cab trucks have their frame rails spaced 34" apart outside to outside and are flat from the back...

    in-dash Temperature guage

    Yes, the Engine computer does use a several temp sensors depending on the vehicle to optimize performance. There is no guarantee that replacing a sensor will make the truck run better. Sensors do fail, but due to their construction they fail completely, and don't usually go out of range, for...

    Help Needed Squeaking in front end...

    Patrick, I assume you mean the bushings for the sway bar that are mounted on the axle? Matt, are the axle mounted sway bar bushings the ones you put grease on? I assume you just lubed the original bushings or do you have aftermarket poly bushings? Thanks guys.

    What's the JOB # ?

    You're pretty close with that statement. I believe Job #1 was the early trucks that came out in January of 07. Job #2 trucks came out around August of 07 and the Job #3 trucks came out as the 09 models. Job #1's had the short air dam under the front bumper. Job #2's had a lower hanging front...

    some 6.0 questions

    Scott, So far the information you have given us, says to walk away from dually #1 (black and tan). That many miles on that new a truck with that many problems doesn't bode well for the post warranty ownership. Dually #2 is a really nice looking truck from what the pictures show. I...

    comment Battery Life

    I just replaced the original Motorcraft batteries in my truck in November. The truck had about 35,000 miles at that point and the first cold morning the truck wasn't plugged in I had to cycle the glow plugs a second time because the glow plugs weren't warming up and it seemed a little sluggish...

    Help Needed Squeaking in front end...

    Happy New Year everyone!!! As the weather has turned colder my truck has developed a sound in the front suspension when it is cycled, for example, when going over speed bumps. The best description that I can provide is that it sounds like a groan and squeak combined, sort of like a old...

    Question Why is it...

    FYI, there is no such thing as a King Ranch F-450 or F-550 in the 99-07 model years. If you do find a 6spd manual Lariat 05-07 upgrading to the King Ranch interior is merely swapping out the seats, center console, steering wheel (it has the dark leather grips) and other interior bits and...

    Contitrac TR 18"

    The Conti's leave a lot to be desired even on dry asphalt. They are barely functional as all season tires much less all terrain tires which I believe is how they were labeled in Ford Truck sales brochures. My brother just finished going through the same debate and got a a set of the Goodyear...

    Ford Additive for 6.4 liter

    David, I am using the Ford Cetane Additive mostly as extra protection from the Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel. My dad has been using it in his Job 1 (built April 07) F-250 since the moment it left the dealership (literally). I usually use the recommended dosing suggestions when I fill the tank...

    Fd-4604?? Fd-4609??

    David, 30 seconds to a minute is sufficient in most cases and that is what I usually do too. You can go longer but after a point you are just pouring out good fuel, because a truck that fills up with good fuel regularly and is driven often won't collect a lot of water. I've never had a bad...
