    EGR Sticking

    Hi, I belive I have found the issue with my diesel going quiet on me. I read on another site of a guy who described, to a tee my problem and many people said its the EGR sticking wide open, and only some times, like whats happening to me. If this is the case does this make sense? Also can an...

    Bad Torque Converter??

    Hey, What are the signs a Torque Converter is going bad? I have had a mechanic tell me that this is a possible reason why my engine is slowly going quiet until I tap the gas and then the normal chug comes back for a few seconds. Although it doesn't make a lot of sense to me, I'm not anywhere...

    Somethings not right

    Hmm I got the exaust leak fixed and it still hasn't fixed this weird noise. "Some times" the loud noise from the engine will taper off and go quiet for a couple seconds and it will either stay this way until the gas is pressed OR shake a little and then return to the normal noise and then taper...

    Hi, I need to remove my main dash panel that goes around the gauge panel and stereo as im putting some switches directly in to the dash beside the 4 X 4 knob. Does anyone know the best way to remove this? Also does anyone know the best route to run wires from the back of the cab to the dash...

    NO AUTO 4X4?!?!?

    This is odd because if a hub seal had a leak, the vents shouldn't work unless its different between 03 and 04. We isolated the leak by popping the vacuum line off each sides hub one at a time and plugging it and seeing if the vacuum pump would shut off. Maybe some one can provide some more...

    NO AUTO 4X4?!?!?

    This happened to me. Blew a hub seal. Ive read another guy on here has blown 2 already under 60,000 miles. Instead of paying the $500 plus for the repair I'm getting some WARN premium hubs put in without the vacuum crap. Nothing to break! I have no issues getting out and locking the hub, when I...

    Hey, So I often see now shopping for fuel that a few stations offer gold and regular diesel. Is there REALLY a difference other then price? I would guess not but any info would be appreciated. Cheers Jeff

    6.0L Longevity

    Hi, What kind of mileage can I expect out of my diesel without major repairs? What about mileage overall? Is this a fairly long lasting engine or not as much as some of the others like cummins. Thanks Jeff

    Hey, Who here actually uses seafoam in their truck? It seems to be safe for diesels according to their website and a very good product for it. I use it in everything that I have thats gas and its great. Cheers Jeff

    Optima Batteries

    I believe red tops are the ones you want. I have been told by a few people that many of the yellows do not last. Personally I use Interstate batteries and they have been more then reliable. Cheers Jeff

    My Oasis Report

    Hey, Picked up an 04 F250 with the 6L about a month ago, im sure some of you have seen my posts. Im sure these are questions I should have been asking before I purchased it but I need some help understanding this. The report looks fairly plain however now that I read indepth there are a few...

    Somethings not right

    Woulden't it not return to normal if it was either of these? Also I did not have tow haul on at the time. The hissing was heard more at start up and then went away usually. Thanks for the input. Cheers

    Somethings not right

    Hey, Today we were hauling our trailer (roughly 3500 lb landscaper) and all of a sudden I noticed the engine wasn't sounding right. Usually it has that hardcore chugging sound but whenever I came to a stop the engine would go much quieter then normal, still making noise but not the usual...

    Who plows with their diesel?

    Hey, I will be running an 8 ft stainless steel Sno-way with down pressure. Thanks for the info, I figure I should be already. Have you guys ever had your diesel let you down while plowing? Ive heard they are more reliable then gas. Also with the X springs, are they much heavier then the...

    Who plows with their diesel?

    Hey, Got a few questions for you guys that plow. I have seen that it is not recommended by ford that my short box super cab be used as a plow. I know many guys do but is there anything that will help ease the strain? What type of springs does a diesel 04 F250 come with? Is there any point in...
