    Exhaust...

    Once the cat is gone what needs to be done to prevent EGR failure or just throwing codes. I am thinking of doing the same thing (exhaustwise) and I live in OK also.

    poor inside heat

    My '04 F350 is doing something very similar. The heat will not warm up until you start moving the truck. It also tends to cool back off and then heat up again when switching from defrost to heat and vice versa. I have visited with some of the other guys on the site and I am pretty sure mine...

    Question Vacuum Problem

    I have an 04 F350 4x4. When I put it in 4x4, while running the A/C, the air blows from the defrost vents for a few minutes before returning to the vents. I know this indicates a vacuum problem and I have chacked the lines behind the glove box. I cannot find a problem there so I am looking for...

    Update Pop goes the Weasel

    What are some of the warning signs/symptoms of blown head gaskets? I have heard about the antifreeze smell but I am curious to know what else to watch for before taking it to the shop. I am not having problems but when I work the truck it works hard. No mods on a '04 F350 SRW CC 4x4.

    Question Towing mileage

    I have and '04 F350 SRW CC. I recent pulled a 20' bumper pull trailer with a tractor on it to be repaired. So one way trailer was loaded and return was empty. I got 11.3 mpg for the total trip. I went up and down a lot of hills and drove 65 mph most of the time. I typically get 16.5 mpg on...

    04 6.0 as daily driver

    I use an additive from Lucas that seems to work well. I also put a louvered tailgate on the truck which has helped in the mileage. I usually run up and down the road, at the speed limits, and get ~16.5 mpg. I towed cattle all this last weekend and got ~11.4 mpg towing 6000-7000 lbs plus the...

    Help!!! Truck Down!

    Okay, now I am really confused. Just went out to check for some of the things you guys suggested and it fired right up and ran like a champ. Killed it and it started again right away. Does this still sound like the same problem? I am trying to find someone with a code reader to see what it...

    Help!!! Truck Down!

    My '04 F350 6.0L fell on its face this evening. It ran fine this morning and was running when I left this evening. I got a mile from the house and the truck quit accelerating. It would idle at ~500 rpm but would respond to the throttle. My wife towed me home (with the truck running) and...

    Question EGR Problems?

    Thanks for the advice. I thought the A/C problem was a vacuum problem but I wanted some other opinions. The mods I am thinking about making are: exhaust change, intake modifications, and maybe a chip of some kind. The overall goal is better mileage and hp without spending an extensive...

    Question EGR Problems?

    What kind of modifications are likely to affect the EGR? I have been reading some horror stories about EGR problems and would like to avoid them if possible. Also, on a side note when I put my truck into 4wd, especially on the fly, my A/C goes through my defrost for a few minutes and then...
