    NO GO 6.0!!!!

    If a boost tube had come off then it wouldn't go back to running normal. I would guess turbo problems such as the adjustable veins being stuck. Like I said, just a guess. Scott

    Brake issues

    Thanks guys. She went straight as an arrow. I have tried to duplicate it and have been unable to. I was empty when this happened and I was running around 60 mph. After trying to stop I smelled the brakes just like they were overheated. Could this have been my problem? If so do I need some better...

    truck surging idle and occasional stalling?

    HI all, I just wanted to throw in that my truck does the same thing but it doesn't do it until I reach around 5000 miles on the oil. The problem will get worse the longer I go and it will absolutely go away after I change the oil. I'm not saying that this is your problem but it does solve mine...

    Brake issues

    Ok guys, I need some input on a brake problem. On my way home tonight I had to get on the brakes hard and quick and nothing happened! I managed to avoid the car in front of me but the truck just wouldn't stop, she did slow down but not fast at all. The brake pedal was hard and I smelled the...

    EGT temps

    My tranny temp runs the same as yours Bush. Would it make a difference that he is running 4.30 gears compared to my 4.10? Not sure that it would make that much of a difference but it is the only thing I could think of. Scott

    Fender Flares

    Thanks for the info guys, I actually forgot that I posted this one. Anyway, are the 450's wider in the front than the 350's? I know they run 19.5 wheels but not sure of the back spacing. Thanks Scott

    EGT temps

    That is in the ball park with mine. Now that you have guages, get back to your cruising speed and play with the throttle a little and you will see how easy it is to change that temp. As far as the temp when towing your 5th wheel, I don't think you have to worry. Someone CORRECT me if I am wrong...

    Tow/Haul Button

    Ok guys, I got it fixed. After I got everything apart I found a broken wire going into the shifter handle. The wire was broken flush with the handle and it was very hard to get it fixed but she is working again. What I did find out is that there are 3 wires, one is a ground and two carry 12...

    Tow/Haul Button

    Ok, sorry for the late reply but we went on a long weekend camping trip. Anyway, my tow haul is not working. I am leaving out Wednesday for a trip to Panama City and back on Thursday. I will be hauling a heavy load again and I would like to get it working before then if possible. Oh yeah, my...

    Fender Flares

    Ok, don't ask me why but I just love the way the factory fender flares look on the front of the F450's. My question is, are the front ends on the 450's wider than my '04 350? If not then these should fit my 350 right? Thanks Scott

    Strange smell

    Ok, here's an update on the strange smell. I got the smell everytime the exhaust temp got high and the boost pressure was high. I noticed this more on my last trip hauling around 14K pounds. Well I found what was causing the smell after I saw the smoke coming from under the hood! Talk about...

    Tow/Haul Button

    Thanks guys, but mine is on the shifter. As far as if it is working or not, I'm not sure. I have pressed it so many times that I don't remember if it was suppose to be on or not. We are leaving to go camping tonight and I will check for sure. I will press it one time after I start it and see...

    Tow/Haul Button

    My Tow/Haul button has quit working. Until yesterday I could always get it to work by messing around with the shifter location but now nothing. Can someone tell me how to fix it or even how to get it apart? Thanks Scott

    Strange smell

    And no it's not me :sly I noticed a strange smell last weekend while pulling my camper (8-9k lb) up a small grade. My exhaust temp was at 1100 and the boost was at 25psi and the tranny temp was around 170. I do have the Banks 6 gun and it was on #5 setting. I didn't notice any coolant missing...

    Hey neighbor, I live in Seymour and work in Sevier County. I work for Charter and have probably been to or close to your house. Oh yeah, forgot to ask, which dealer do you work for or is it a local shop? Scott

    Injector Replacement

    Thats why I was asking, I didn't understand the leaking down either. As far as the TSB goes, will Ford charge me for this since I am out of warranty? I am at 107K. Thanks Scott

    Injector Replacement

    I think my problem is the same as listed in the Cold Start TSB Post. Scott

    Cold Start TSB INFO

    This is exactly what my truck is doing. I have posted about injector replacement but not sure now that I need an injector. Will Ford charge for this TSB if the truck is out of warranty? I am at 107k. Scott

    Injector Replacement

    When the truck sets overnight, whether it is 30 degrees or 70 degrees, the engine runs rough. The symptoms are the same as when you don't plug in the heater and it gets down below 30 degrees. I took her into the shop to get everything checked out and the results were that the number 2 injector...

    Injector Replacement

    I have no clue how they check it. As a matter of fact, my last oil analisys was good with very little fuel in the oil. I have to pull the readings and see what the exact numbers were but I do remember that they weren't anything significant. Now I am starting to wonder if I really do have an...

    Injector Replacement

    I have an injector that is leaking down after the truck sits overnight. The dealer want's way to much money to fix the problem and he is only going to change the one. I would like to do this myself and spend the labor money on all 8 injectors. Now my question is how hard are they to change as...

    Hard Start and Bad Running

    I am running Rotella, why? I'm not say that the problem was the oil or the mileage of the oil but my starting problem has dissappeared but the bad running is still there but not as bad. Scott
