    Question Boost Pressure flucuates while in Regen?

    I noticed the same thing with mine. The boost guage fluctuates while in regen. When I took it in for the first oil change my ford dealer told me that it was normal. The only time that I have noticed a power difference is when I am pulling my camp trailer. It went into regen shortly after...

    Question Does factory PCM restrict power for first 500 miles

    I don't know about the PCM cutting power, what I have noticed about mine is that even though it says to not allow it to warm up, it is kinda sluggish until it gets to operating temp. Mine has the 3.55 gears, once it is warm it is a screamin demon. ;tu

    97 won't start

    Well I installed new glow plugs, internal harness and valve cover gasket and the truck is running good. Thanks for the help.

    97 won't start

    While I was trying to pull the injector I found that the plug going through the valve cover is burnt. It burnt the valve cover plug and the internal harness. By looking at the plug I think that it is the glow plug portion that burned up and shorted the harness out. At this point I am waiting...

    97 won't start

    97 won't start

    97 won't start

    It is showing a P0261. Which is #1 injector circuit low. What I have found that is doing is startinig and then dieing. So I checked the ICP and it is reading 0 all of the time. My thoughts were that if it didn't have high pressure oil the injectors should not fire at all. I thought one of...

    97 won't start

    I have been asked to assist to assist a friend of my dads with his truck. His truck us a 97 f-250 with the 7.3l. I guess the truck had a check engine light and made what he described as a "bad" noise while he was driving last night. He shut the truck down and then called me this morning...

    Wiring Fault on Trailer --no trailer attached

    After doing a little work on the flatbed trailer I found a grounding problem with the trailer brakes. I repaired the grounding problem and have not had a problem since. I sure mine was in the trailer not the truck.

    Question DPF Regeneration

    Mine is in the 100-600 range. I haven't been watching how long they last. I am getting close to the first oil change and will talk to my dealership then. Until then I guess I will drive as usual.

    Wiring Fault on Trailer --no trailer attached

    I got this same message one time, after putting the boat in the water. Had to back in a little to far to get the boat off. Took it home and blew the plug out with compressed air and it hasn't done it since. What I see is while pulling my flatbed (has trailer brakes) I get the trailer...

    Question DPF Regeneration

    Since I wrote the original post it has only gone into regeneration once in about 300 miles. It seems like it not as often. Love the truck. Just wanted to make sure that it wasn't acting out of the ordinary. I did notice that while it is cleaning, the MPG's drop. Some of it might be that...

    Question DPF Regeneration

    I have really tried to avoid idling as much as I can. From my opinion I idle the truck very little. I would say that one time it went into regen it may have not been a productive because I was getting low on fuel. It was 105 miles till next gas station and didn't want to chance it. When I...

    Question DPF Regeneration

    I recently purchased my 6.4l and I am not sure about the exhaust filter cleaning. I tried to search the site to find info and either I am not very computer literate or there is not much info on the questions that I have. I have just over 1600 miles on the truck and it seems to clean the filter...

    Question 3.73 vs 3.55

    Well I ended up with the an 08 that had the 3.55's. It only has 180 miles but I couldn't wait to pull the trailer. I pulled it about fifteen miles just to see how it does and I don't have any complaints. The truck pulled awesome. One thing I notice from this discussion is that most of the...

    Question 3.73 vs 3.55

    Thanks again for all of the info.. I have been without my truck for about a month now and am getting a little antsy. Looks like I better stick with the 3.73's. The 09 had 3.55's and alot more money, the 08 is 10,000 cheaper and probably a better fit... At least that is what my wife...

    Question 3.73 vs 3.55

    :hailI am in the process of purchasing a new truck, and have noticed on the 08 and 09 F-350's there is 2 different gear options. I am looking for the Pro's and Con's of both. My 2002 had the 3.73's and it always pulled like a mule. My truck spends most of its life hooked up to trailers. I...

    Well I had issues 2 weeks after getting the new truck home. Dealership called and said that they needed money down. I told them to make the signed contract I have work or I'll bring the truck back. So I took it back. Now I have sold my 02 and am really missing having my truck. If I wasn't...

    fuel mileage

    My truck is pretty consistent to get between 18-20 in the summer and 14-16 in the winter. It has been like that since I put the chip on it. Before then it was worse.

    Auto/Manual hubs

    Just recently purchased the 2008 F-350. When I am engaging the front diff it doesn't seem to engage for a long period of time and then when it engages I am getting a large thud from the front diff. It happens almost every time I engage 4X4. The 2002 that I just traded in had the Auto/Manual...
