    Strange 2006 6.0 behavior cold

    Hey gang, it's been forever since I've posted on here... my 06 has been running well and nothing beyond the normal maintenance issues... so that brings me to now. I have 90k on the truck, automatic, 5w-40 rp synthetic, and an SCT tuner with a canned tune. Truck runs fine. I did replace the...

    4x4 axle play

    Got a question. Just how much play is considered normal in the front end drive shafts and hubs? running strait ahead everything seems to run pretty true. But turn the wheel hard left or right, and man the shaft from the differential moves around... a lot. 1/8 inch maybe? Both sides seem to be...

    Brakes locked up...

    I had an interesting experience Saturday afternoon... I was driving along, and I noticed the truck pulling to the right. Didn't think much of it. Wasn't dogging it at all, ran fine. Then I start hearing something that sounded like a wheel bearing, but on the left side of the vehicle, slowed down...

    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...

    cab roof visor

    Hey do any of you guys or gals have one of these on your trucks? I've always liked the looks of these, but I was concerned with loosing some MPG or ungodly noise in the cab from them... I'm thinking about a lund. Any comments? Thanks!

Some professional monkeys got grease on it, and cleaned it, and now about once a month, the stupid thing get's sticky, then your hands get kinda tacky as well. even if they were clean to start with. Anybody else...

    Oil analysis

    Real quick real easy... I've searched for this and came up empty... Who all do you use for oil analysis? I'm using Blackstone now, no complaints, but I'd like a comparison just for sanity's sake, and ammo if I have to go back to Ford for a leaking injector(s) I found Blackstone and...

    Window visors...

    I know this is a really stupid topic, but which window vent style is better for longevity? The ones that 3m tape above the frame or the ones that clip in the window frame and sit flush. I think the clip ones look cleaner, but I'm afraid of wear and rusting out the window frame, 3M tape is...

    Non-stock exhaust

    Hey gang, I'm curious, since I took the back half of my exhaust off, and have a 4 inch dump in front of the right rear tire, I seem to notice less effectiveness in the tow/haul engine braking mode. Has anybody else noticed this? I still have the cat on for now. I also don't seem to have...

    Rear end mods.

    Okay first off, get out of the gutter... :roflmao Anybody consider or change the rear limited slip carrier for something that actually works? I'm looking at some eaton units, maybe even an electric locker. I got stuck on the pretty much level with one tire off the road. I wouldn't have...

    Bed Liners

    I've been looking at stuffing a bed liner out back, and hit a bit of a question. I'm going sprayed, but who? I know Rhino seen them a lot nice liners. Now there's this Line-X thing out there. sorta the same, but the process, and chemical is totally different. Anybody have an opinion? (maybe I...

    Link for tuner comparison

    Hey does anybody remember what the link was that lined up all the current tuners for our 6.0's? I can't find the dang thing and I was thinking about the Edge A2... but with all the phones coming out with GPS on them, I kinda wonder if it's even worth it, and should just stick to a good...

    Towing mirror question...

    This has absolutely nothing to do technically with the mirror. What the heck do you guys do when washing the truck, you dry it off, and then drive 50 feet and all the water hiding in the main and bubble mirrors comes spitting out down the side of the truck? I've tried stuffing a towel edge back...

    Boost Pressure pickoff point

    Okay, I admit I'm gonna be a little lazy here... But where does the 06 6.0 pick off the boost pressure reading for the computer? Before, or after the intercooler? I'm thinking that since I have the dual alternators, and they smashed the turbo tube half shut, that might account for my lousy...

    Sct Programmer

    Question for ya... I looked at a website for the SCT unit, and they talk about doing mods and support for the 7.3, which is cool. What about the 6 oh? Also, can they get in there or me for that matter, and adjust things like the tow haul mode forced downshift for engine braking? What about...

    Fuel Cetane numbers

    I'm just curious what all you are seeing for cetane numbers on your fuel. I have been looking for better than 40 cetane for a while, and stumbled across a pump that puts out 59 cetane. Since I recently learned that we should be burning 45 or better, this thing should grow wings once I get...

    Headlights...

    Does anybody have a cost on the 2005 Harley Edition blacked out headlights? I want a set, but Ford want $650 for them... I laughed and said hello ebay. Can't find them though. On a side note, I had some jackass run into my truck friday night... 1964 miles on the clock. :cussing: Minor damage...

    speaking of tranny fluid...

    I was reading my service manuals last night after giving oh6 6oh a bath, and I came across the automatic section. They are calling for Mercon SP. Never heard of it, or seen it for that matter... Anybody know what this stuff is? I guess what I'm really asking is, is it a factory full synthetic...

    Driveline vibration

    I looked over the other posts and didn't see this one yet... As I mentioned before I just got my '06 Thursday, and I've been driving it everywhere. Runs well, and I have 356 miles on it right now. I've been running with the hubs locked in to get everything shaken up in the front. If it's...
