    Question Exhaust gas readings

    X2..... And I've also heard from many past posts that 300 deg.'s difference is the general concensus.

    Question Fixing the HG myself, looking for instructions

    MY 03' WAS DONE INCLUDING NEW HEAD STUDS WITHOUT THE CAB REMOVED. Done by the dealer techs who know the tricks. I would share the tricks if I knew them, sorry.

    New gears?

    Fords advertised #'s differ from the dyno tests of the shootout results from the stock truck. The dyno graphs are obviously RWHP. Fords #'s are power at the flywheel I think, yes?

    New gears?

    Peak torque for our 6.0's is closer to 3,000 r.p.m. Here's a link that has torque & H.P. curves for both stock and chiped/programed 6.0's http://www.thedieselgarage.com/projects/Shootoutreport.pdf

    Bad mileage in my 04 excursion.

    Are they doing this as part of a warranty plan, or is it on you? Did Carmax give you a Carfax? Other than the water in fuel light; how's it run? Does it smoke?

    Let us know how this works out for you. I'm pretty certain I have the same problem. I'm still working on pinpointing it.

    Help Needed Exhaust / Turbo Leak?

    Anyone know how to make a homemade smoke feeding device for this procedure? I'm really needing to do this and don't want to pay a dealer for it.

    At the Lisle Corp. site, search for Combustion Leak Detector or Part #75500

    Help Needed fumes in cab,low power

    I'm now confident that I have no boost leaks after fixing a couple minor boot leaks. Soapy water spray helped a lot to find them, as well as a mechanics mirror to see under them. But I still have either exhaust or crankcase smell getting into cab. I believe the dealer uses a smoke machine for...

    Help Needed fumes in cab,low power

    I just realized my mistake. I hooked the boost leak detector to the section of intake attached to the turbo and not directly to the turbo! What an amatuer! Anyway, I learned that my rocker covers can hold about 5 p.s.i. because after tightening up one side and then repressurizing.... the other...

    Help Needed fumes in cab,low power

    I expected leak in the Y pipe or expansion joints, but when I finally got around to hooking up my boost leak detector from Dieselsite. I found a major leak coming from the back corner of the driver side valve cover(rocker carrier cover)closest to the y-pipe. The dealer has replaced this once...

    6.0 POW and no power

    A REAL good time to do this. Banks is having their Labor Day BLOWOUT sale right now. I'm counting up my piggybank and seeing if I can get a Technicooler system too.

    Would not start; then when it did no power

    It can be many things. Don't you still have Warranty? It needs to be checked for any codes thrown. Changed your fuel filters lately? It could be HPOP? Air in fueline? FICM? ICP? The list goes on. Let us know what it turns out being.

    6.0 POW and no power

    Ditto. Probably a boot, but it could be cracked intercooler (rare). The ends are plastic. If that's the case, upgrading to an aftermarket performance intercooler would be the way to go. Maybe even cheaper? Does anybody know what Ford charges for a stock intercooler? Hopefully it's just a blown...

    degas cap leaks

    The dealer did mine, and I didn't see them do it. They must have a modified or special degaus cap that has a fitting to pressurize, or they tee into one of the hoses with a fitting to pressurize. It seems that teeing in would be good because you could see if your cap is holding 16 psi. Hopefully...

    degas cap leaks

    Did you pressure test it when you had the EGR valve out?

    New head studs

    This is FRAUD, plain and simple. Didn't your folks teach you that? Whatcha gonna do when they come for you? :eek:

    degas cap leaks

    A pressure test of the coolant system would be a start. The degaus cap should also hold 16psi . I believe when they do this they elevate the rear of truck and remove the EGR valve to check for cooler leak and prevent hydraulic cylinder lock?* Headgasket and or EGR cooler leak can be the typical...

    Question Batt. Desulphator

    Hi Dave. I checked out the BLS (battery life safer)type desulphator on E-bay. Is this the one you use? It looks good but is over twice as much as the onboard BatteryMinder brand. Is this a case of you get what you pay for, and may be worth the extra cost? Just looking for your input. Thanks.

    Question Batt. Desulphator

    I guess the way to go is the onboard type for extending the life of my new batt.'s, and another charger/maintainer for the stored or infrequently used toys. Thank you for the great selection. :sweet

    Question Batt. Desulphator

    I've recently replaced both my batt.'s w/ new 850 cca Motorcrafts. My old batt.'s were still going strong at 5.5 yrs. old but didn't want to press my luck. I know some of you use desulphators and wanted to know what kind would be the best to use? Some claim that you can double the life. Hard to...

    Lack of power

    It's that lagging turbo again! I agree. It is just darn embarrassing on occasion.
