You need to get it scanned to solve your black smoke issue. Everything else would be guessing. YOU can get a scanner at a local Auto Parts Store. Make sure it can read CAN codes and you are good to go.

Looks very nice Barrett. :)

My guess would be the solenoid. But I am not there...

Well, my next guess would be the electric transfer case motor.

What year of truck do you have? Add this to your signature so we won't have to ask.

There is a whole bunch of stuff that causes the 'no shift' problems. The transfer case is shifted by a motor that is actuated by the solenoid. I have never owned a SOTF transfer case. I like MANUAL hubs and transfer cases, and this is why. You had better find a 4 X 4 mechanic to help you...

No, you will need to find another rear end or decrease the width. By how much I don't know right now. Better start lookin for a dually rear end

She is not as aggressive as you are. My Mother was the same way in a car, she would go faster than most traffic but did not like to pass others.

Maintenance is the key to diesel trucks. They will run for a long time if you keep up on the maintenance. A couple of tips; use quality filters like Motorcraft oil and fuel filters. Wal Mart has them cheap. Have fun!

:welcome to SDD bcamos. New trucks are nice. Glad you signed up here.

Mine does too, most of the time. BUT when I drive it, I drive it like I stole it! I am no kid by any means and I am hard on all equipment and tools. :D

No guarantees, as with all things diesel. Maintenance is the KEY to long life. Do your regular maintenance every 5,000 miles or whatever Ford says, and you should be golden.

Nice truck you found there, Joe! Let us know how you like it, after a few weeks.

Of you are running 15-W40 oil try changing to to 5-W40. Stopped my surging.

Nice rig!

:welcome to SDD! Post a photo of your rig. We would love to see it.

:welcome to SDD Allen. New Super Duty!!!

Yes it does cycle the glow plugs.

I would keep an eye on it. Does it drive OK? Turn on the headlights just after it starts and see if they change in brightness.

:welcome Kimmy. Enjoy your time here. Not the livelest forum, but a good one for advice. :)

Scott speaks the truth! :)

Crawl under there and measure it for height and length. That will tell you.
