    DPF/EGR question

    08 Powerstroke-------13,000 miles bought 10/08 no probs---daily driver and I tow a 30ft 5`ver 10,000lbs on vacation. If I didn`t have the big trailer -wouldn`t have the diesel. You are right at the point to make a difficult decision. I`m sure my previous sentence didn`t help the...

    Looking to buy..

    Buy a gas model---I tow a 30ft trailer on vacation, but also use the truck as a daily driver. If I didn`t have the trailer I wouldn`t have the diesel.

    Question Fog Lights after the fact

    Just an idea for you!! I had an 2001 Powerstroke and I found some Hella`s (if I remember right) 55 watt pencill beam lights at the time they were a lot cheaper then Piaa and put them in where the factory fog lights were. They never caused a problem with the factory relay/switch and I had that...

    Question Boost Pressure flucuates while in Regen?

    the display should say " exhaust filter cleaning" if you have the latest update --check with the dealer if you aren`t seeing that. Also the truck loses some power, sounds different mostly at lower speed 35-40ish when I notice, the regen with new update doesn`t regen below 30? 35?,the early...

    Truck died and won't start

    Just found this out because I had to help push a friends 08 to a safe spot---some trucks have a fuel sending unit problem according to the local dealer-it tells the truck it is out of fuel-keep the truck above half (until the dealer gets the part in) and it should run if that is the cause of the...

    Good catch --I missed that. Think you might be right on. The duallys are 4:10 or 4:30 usually.

    Newbie question about four wheel drive

    Are they really manual hubs? OR do they have an auto or lock position on the hub? If it has Shift on the Fly--then the switch which is about a 1 1/2" circlular switch on the dash says 2wd/4wd and 4wd-low. If this is the case then the hubs auto loc when the switch is turned -the lock position...

    Slow to take off?

    yep--my 08 hesitates at the light/stop sign/driveway/whatever if you hammer down the go pedal---if you roll into it not much lag. Went for a ride in my buddy`s 08 with full spartan kit-dpf delete--cat delete--intake plus the 210hp tune --------Hang the F-on ---I was very impressed. Now how...

    Another REGEN question

    While driving today my truck went into regen---I kept an eye on the display and when it was finished it did display the EFDC message , but it was only on there for 2-3 secs, so it is pretty easy to miss the message.

    Question Boost Pressure flucuates while in Regen?

    Took about an 800 mile trip with our 30' fifth wheel loaded--had a couple of regen`s in tow/haul mode and of course at the bottm of a hill. Overall--it wasn`t nearly as bad as I expected --even in regen it ran the hills well and there are some nasty hills running up the Oregon Coast. Stock to...

    Another REGEN question

    When driving mine just seems to disappear or if it does display the complete message it is on there for such a short time I miss the message also.Even if I missed the message I don`t get another regen for quite awhile-so I assume it completed it`s regen while driving. -this probably wasn`t...

    OK, really dumb question about charging batteries

    As for powerboatr`s post (same thing kinda) --my 12v parallel camper batteries were setup on the solar panel trickle charge the same way--negative on one batt, pos. on the other --never a problem there. Then I pulled the batts out and when I put them back in I hooked up the panel on only one...

    Question Boost Pressure flucuates while in Regen?

    I made a couple of phone calls to some friends and their 6.4`s do the same thing as mine during regen. Guess it`s just a quirk of some trucks! I do agree with the 25hp power loss is more than what Ford says. More like 50hp or so. Thanks

    Question Boost Pressure flucuates while in Regen?

    I noticed that my boost pressure flucuates while in regen mode-Doesn`t matter high boost or low boost. Only 5-7psi flucuation(like a Pulse a sec or 2 at a time) and only while in regen--no check engine light is-oil level is okay-it runs smooth and clean and sounds okay. Of course the power is...

    Programmer / Warranty Issue - Advice Needed

    As far as the security lockout --My 08 is 2300 miles new and so far it has flashed the security icon in the display about 3 different times and it will not turnover etc. -Removed the key and tried again each time it has worked the 2nd time. It goes in for it`s first oil change soon--I was...
