    Glow plug life expectancy??

    Could be hearing the extra load on the starter. Is this while cranking or the first few seconds of running? Sometimes I'll hear what sounds like a "whoop" when if first fires off when it's really cold... like 1-2 degrees, but that's just the sound of the turbo coming up to speed with some heavy...

    Where to buy 2008 differential cover?

    Yeah, and it's pretty low in the pan. I don't think a quarter inch would make that much of a difference. Now if only they'd give you a rear fill point, that would be the cat's meow... Actually, I think I'm going to order one.

    Limited Slip... lets be clear on this issue

    Go buy a detroit trutrac and hand it to the dealer to install.

    Glow plug life expectancy??

    Good information, but how are you certain that the problem isn't the glow plugs? You say typical life is over 100k, well, what's atypical life? 86k? Personally, I'd probably do both. BTW, burning used ATF? I hope to God it's filtered to sub micron levels...

    ebay Turbo?

    I just wonder about the true condition of it. For $300 it wouldn't be bad for a spare, or a toy. It's the 13 blade driven side, so it's an earlier unit. Guess the question is what all could be wrong with it, and how much would it really take to fix it?

    eBay Motors: New Garrett Turbo Application unknown? like Ford 6.0 (item 170190217058 end time Feb-06-08 13:58:14 PST) Not sure if this was posted before, but what do you guys make of this thing?

    2006 F350 CC4X4 Dully Jerking Front end?

    Power steering pump is the assist for the brakes. Not the same fluid of course, but it is in the booster. Apparently it doesn't make any difference now though...

    2006 F350 CC4X4 Dully Jerking Front end?

    And there was another statement made that was a little odd... water in the power steering fluid? That's seriously bad juju... first off, it ought to look like foamy blood if there's water in it, and if there is, how the hell did it get there in the first place?? Not only do you have an issue...

    2003 6.0L Starter Engaging too Soon..

    A guess might be that at colder temps, there's enough wear in it that the pins might be close enough to make contact. Either way, I'd replace the switch. With it being temperature related on a mechanical part, thermal expansion and contraction is the only answer I can see. It's not like a GM...

    "03 6.0 won't start

    Don't know... but most likely they changed something more than just the nameplate to lower the price. It generally comes down to a lest robust battery in many areas. Vibration resistance, short circuit capacity (should call it instantaneous current) Guess the real question is how long do you...

    combustion leak test kit

    Oil report from blackstone comes back happy as a clam... I think the old fellow who had the car before me was on the wrong side the last time he did an oil change... it's too clean, the oil in the antifreeze that is... Thanks guys. I couldn't find that kit. I appreciate it. for $40 or whatever...

    Glow plug life expectancy??

    Heating the injectors isn't going to warm the cylinders... just like the glow plugs aren't going to heat the injectors. Heating the injectors will help them perform better, but that won't make the fuel ignite any easier. You're best bet is to look at each one with an ohm meter and see if it's...

    "03 6.0 won't start

    They're probably not the greatest batteries. Best ones I've ever had were Interstates. you can't kill them..

    combustion leak test kit

    Hey gang... I can't seem to find the combustion gas leak test kit that's been mentioned in here in the past. I found one link, pointing to Lisle corporation, but it's a dead link. How's your memory? My LS has a ton of oil in the antifreeze... long story, but it runs just fine. Not sure...

    hi idle/coolant

    What is this line coming from? EGR cooler? Is this what you guys with the coolant filter have spliced into?

    batteries??

    There's more out of whack here than just the hubs... even if they were locked in, the transfer case should be in 2wd... so it could very well be the relay. On mine I can have the hubs locked in, and turn however I want and it won't bind unless I'm in 4wd... so in your case, it's more than just...

    TDC FAULT

    It's probably a loose connection. For it to be intermittent like that, about the only thing that can cause that is a loose connector, or a wire in the harness going to ground on a bolt or something. Not an easy thing to chase down, but do the connectors first, it's the easiest if you're out of...

    batteries??

    Well at about 5 years old, I would expect the lead acid's to be giving it up... could even have some sulfation (which is some crud floating around falling from the plates) giving you some odd results. I'd think about changing them, and do them both. You change one you're asking for problems, and...

    no egr cooler

    If you are positive you have no exhaust flow to the cooler yes. But why go through all that aggravation? If you have the EGR blocked off, just leave the cooler in place, and let the coolant go through it. It won't effect performance because it's not in the main flow of the air. Besides, it will...
