    Question on a quote I got?

    My first question would be what are the symptoms of your 6.0? was it blowing white smoke, blowing out the bottle, etc.? Normally, you have to change out all those parts after the EGR cooler clogs and takes out the oil cooler, then overheats - warps the heads and blows the head gaskets. Don't...

    Question Oil cooler

    You have to remove all of the top end (turbo, intake manifold, etc)of the engine. It took me a couple days [but I don't have a full garage either]... make sure you don't drop anything inside the block.

    EGR delete, HERE WE Go Again

    When I installed my EGR delete I use a chop saw and cut the lower half (piston in the manifold) off. I re-installed the modified EGR valve and p[lugged it in. Basically it tells the computer that the valve is there but really has no function. it's better then installing that cover plate.

    Popping through intake?

    I just had the same thing and mine turned out to be a bad cam lifter. The needle bearings on the bottle of the lifter let loose and now the engine will not run at all. some of the needle bearings made there way into the oil pump gears and stopped the oil pump - thus - no oil pressure - no oil...

    photos EGR and Oil Cooler Replacement in Pictures

    Living in California I too have to go through SMOG, I too installed the EGR / EGR cooler delete. I went through TWO EGR coolers before I had had enough and installed the EGR delete kit. I did not install the cover plate for the EGR valve though. I broke out the saws all and cut the lower half of...

    engine shut down

    Well my mechanic said that it was a bad IPR valve. I was hoping that it was not the HPOP as I had that replaced about two years ago. I am still getting tired of the 6.0L to the point that I might trade it in for a Chevy or Mopar diesel instead. Still wanting to hope for my ford :dunno

    engine shut down

    I am hoping that its not that because I replaced the HPOP about two years ago. But, as we all know, its possible.

    engine shut down

    It's a possibility, but what are the chances of getting a bad FICM that I recently replaced. And then again that could be my issue because I recently replaced it. Thanks

    engine shut down

    Well I replaced the fan clutch and started just fine. Driving it, after two months, the engine just died. It was not overheating, the fan was working normal, and will not restart. Not showing codes and I am at a loss. I can hear the fuel pump is running and the engine will turn over, only no...

    What can be done about "warped" rotors?

    I had to replace a couple rotors before I realized that I had a bad caliper. Replaced that and all was good.

    New EGR Cooler Install

    I hope that you at least looked at your oil cooler while you were replacing the EGR cooler because the oil cooler is first in line and when it starts to clog it restricts the flow to the EGR cooler (thus damaging it). When I installed my EGR delete I back flushed the cr*p out of it using a...

    Simple Green in coolant system

    I went to the Ford Stealership today and inquired the cost of flushing the coolant system. $285.00 So I asked what it all entailed. I was informed that they flush the system with a mixture including a rust inhibitor (think it was VC9), etc. I told him that I was just going to do it myself and...

    engine shut down

    What I was told was that the clutch shorts out and drains the power from the computer which inturn shuts down the engine. He told me if it happened again to just disconnect the fan clutch plug and watch the temp gauge.

    note ABS light on - not rear sensor

    Not really sure but I was told that if the ABS light comes on and it is not a brake issue (like the brakes are okay) that there is a problem with the charging system. When mine was staying on the alternator was going bad (low voltage) to battery.

    engine shut down

    I was driving down the hwy and my truck engine just stopped. I could not re-start it, so I had it towed to a friends. It sat for about a month, the batteries went down so I put it on a charger for two days. It started the other day so I let it idle for about 45 minutes with no problem. I had a...

    03 6.0L Cranks but no start

    SKU: 6E7Z-9A332-A Ford updated stand pipes for all 2004-2007 Ford 6.0 engines. The old style stand pipes were prone to o-ring failure. Symptoms are loss of ICP pressures which can cause no start or stalling. It's also some times misdiagnosed as a bad IPR valve or HPOP. These have been...

    03 6.0L Cranks but no start

    While driving after the engine seemed to have a loss of power and died. I pulled over and tried to re-start but to no avail. The engine cranks normal but will not start. I got a P2290, P2285 code. I first thought that I got water on something and waited for some time to let everything dry out...
