    coolant trouble

    I hear you about the 6.0 paranoia! I've lived through the H.G. leak drama. Mine was so slight and only occured under heavy load and the coolant loss was at first barely detectable. Dealers kept telling me there was no problem. If it does become an issue for you Red, this link has an easy way to...

    It's a good thing our turbos aren't made of Aluminum! :D I set my temp. a little higher because my programmer will start to defuel immediately if it hits 1300. A few seconds of 1300 deg. now and then hasn't hurt anything. It is my understanding from reading many posts both here and elsewhere...

    At 1600 deg.'s your turbos fins would be glowing red and baked!! 1350 is where you shouldn't exceed. I set my alarm at 1300.

    coolant trouble

    Looking at all your previous problems/replacements, it appears you've been their,done that before. We can only hope that it is just another egr cooler or simpler and not H.G.'s. First step as you know is the coolant pressure test to diagnose where it's leaking. I'll cross my fingers for you...

    FICM or What?

    CONGRATULATIONS! You truly lucked out! Whether the dealership really found headgasket failure or are just creating work for themselves doesn't really matter because you're much better off w/ the studs,and that's what you wanted anyway,right? Now you can have more fun with less worry.

    head gaskets and dates??

    Red, care to elaborate how you pulled that off! Did you think you'd get away w/ telling us "long story"? :D. What else did you have done that would have totaled over 15K!? Under warranty,(in one visit) I had 2 heads replaced(because they were warped),oil cooler,egr cooler,egr valve,turbo,couple...

    Direction involving tuner and gauges...

    This unit has all the parameters you'll ever need (100?), just 4 at a time though. And you can scan codes and turn off your own cel. I see why you'd like this so you can unplug and take w/ you when you lock up. It must really suck having to deal w/ thieving scum sucks. Nobody messes w/ my ride...

    Help Needed ccv location

    Looking for some suggestions. I'm considering a BD ccv filter,do any of you have this unit? Good/Bad? Also I have the dieselsite coolant filter installed. This is in the same place they have designed the bd ccv filter to be installed,special bracket,etc. Do I : Relocate one of them? Which one...

    FICM or What?

    I forgot that your trouble was oil leak,sorry. Apparently the bedplate can be removed from below without head removal? We've seen so many headgasket repairs that I was thinking this when I posted last. Perhaps the dealer is being fair with you. If you plan on increasing H.P./tunes in the...

    FICM or What?

    Dealers got wise a long time ago that a lot of us chip/tune/increase h.p. ,and I believe that even though they know that studs are the way to go, they take advantage that a lot of us want to do this. It costs them a little more time because of the multiple tourque sequence,but $900. EXTRA is...

    FICM or What?

    Couldn't agree more! Also $99. is a small price to pay for the amount of work being done. I understand your point and most of us would feel the same way, but right now is not a good time to get them off your good side. They'll probably want additional money to install a.r.p.'s also, if they will...

    6.0 DTC Check Engine Light On

    Maybe. Just sitting there it can start rusting up. If you don't believe, check out this article Diesel Technician SocietyIn time, all our turbos need to cleaned or replaced. It is the way it is for most moving parts. Driving habits and your local climate(humidity)has a lot to do with it I believe.

    6.0 DTC Check Engine Light On

    Installing the High Idle Mod. will help also.

    Stuck Turbo

    After only one day it would have to be a real coincidence if it wasn't turbo related. Maybe just a boost leak. Bad/loose boot connection when they put back together? Here's a cool link showing what they did inside your turbo, Diesel Technician Society

    rpm gauge going crazy

    There was a Broadcast message #3695 from Ford that was specific to 05' speedometer needle bounce. Whether it applies to your Tach. issue, I don't know. It says to "inspect the wiring harness running behind the coolant bottle to the wiper motor for chafing on a brake clip and shorting to ground...

    head gaskets and dates??

    Not sure about upgraded gaskets, but I know they revised the torque sequence and head bolt spec.'s from the original 03'. I'd be interested to know about upgraded gaskets also because I had mine changed in 06'. Did I get new/improved gaskets? I know I got better fasteners because I opted to use...

    Question Exhaust in Cab

    Thanks Big Joe. I'll try the tighten up you suggested. The "extreme" fogging I'm thinking now is the hot humid exhaust sneaking out hood and sucking into vent intake; like you said. I've had the truck since new so I know this fogging is new and different. I know what you mean about diesel fumes...

    Question Exhaust in Cab

    Hope someone has had this problem before or can explain. I'm getting exhaust smell in the cab that worsens when the defroster/vent is turned on. I'm also completely fogging up the windshield for several seconds when I turn on defroster (long enough to crash into a telephone pole),no I didn't,but...

    6.0L Question

    Ditto... I couldn't agree more. In todays market you are in the drivers seat (excuse the pun) not the dealer. It's a buyers market for sure!!! Offer less and make them fix the seat. I believe their quote to fix the seat is pure B.S. Good luck, and don't be afraid to walk. They will stop you on...

    You may already know this, but DieselSite (advertises on this forum) has stainless steel replacement vacumn lines for E.S.O.F.

    How to tell if turbo is bad. or no whistle with open exhaust

    The factory TFT gauge is totally useless. The only thing it does is tell you when you've boiled and fried you're tourqeshift.
