    Should i buy it!??

    Well, after getting my truck home from the auction. I went to my local Ford and asked for a copy of the Oasis report. Then I asked what about getting other work performed related to the truck through the VIN or whatever. The rep stated only warranty work can be reported unless you know the...

    6.7 diesel fumes in cab!!

    Grab a flashlight and look for soot from the block to manifolds, and any where the exhaust has connections, all the way down to underneath the cab.

    Should i buy it!??

    Yep, take the oasis report and review it. It only tells the warranty work. Ask the seller if he had work performed outside work or what dealer he took it too. Ask seller if they can provide some kind of maintenance records as well as receipts. I bought an 05 2.5 yrs ago w/112k at auction...

    banjo bolt mod....

    Yes, they are. The passenger side is clear and easy to identify. Easily accessible. The driver's side is buried under intake tube, heater hoses. The air box should be removed, the intake tube moved, heater hoses disconnected and then you might have an easy access to it. You'll notice on...

    tuner questions

    Check out the diesel forums and review the forum site's business sponsors. Many have the information on their business site to reflect the condition and reason for design of their systems. Biggest issue, as I've found, is locating the correct SCT tuner and custom tunes for a reasonable cost...

    6.0 liter GOOD VS BAD

    Like most newer designed turbo diesels, they use oil pressure to fire fuel injectors under pressure. They use exhaust gas to maintain EPA requirements. This includes the 6.0l. And as you concluded, there are other inherent design flaws on the motor as well. The aftermarket can support the...

    ARP Head Studs

    I've always read that the body has to be removed to gain access to the head bolts. So that tells me you can't replace the bolts with the studs due to the interference of the heater/ac cavity.

    Question Post EGR Delete Survey

    I had a River City Diesel delete kit installed and the upgrade oil cooler from Ford. I had overheating and coolant loss issues so I knew it was the EGR cooler. There was no water in the oil. At the same time, I added a FS200 micro-filter system. It has only been 1 week and 700+ miles. I've...

    tuner questions

    I would also recommend a micro-oil filter system. The trouble areas of the 6.0l relate to the power generation, exhaust flow, and filtrations. Its a hit/miss on the head bolts as others have stated. EGR delete would be best along with a cat removal and larger diameter exhaust throughout. With...

    Repair Bill for your review

    In review of the bill, I don't understand the charges for the 6.0l head as miscellaneous. R&R for head gasket is $1700 ($70/hr = 24.29 hrs). Under Miscellaneous, there is a charge for Machine 6.0l rebuild head of $689.13 w/ a shipping charge of $100. So I'm to take that is takes $1700 in...

    Turbo lag

    I could count a full 2 seconds before enough boost developed I would start moving. one one-thousand, two two-thousand and it would start going. I'm picking my SD up Friday after some work. Its 180 miles away and I'm anticipating much better throttle response.

    Whining Noise Generation

    Cool. Thanks guys. I'm heading to Clayton, OK from KC, MO this holiday weekend. Like I said, I don't hear that whining till I get into some mtns. Yah, check engine light is on. Its the #2 heating element (glow plug). It probably needs replacing. It came on about 3 weeks before my trip...

    Whining Noise Generation

    This is the second time I towed my Jeep on a trailer through the CO mtns. On the other side of Denver, in the rain up to the snow on 70 into the Eisenhower tunnel, this noise came up several times just like last year. I don't know what it is related to. I'm thinking trans, but it only happens in...

    mods done

    What a gap there is. I think I see some daylight between the body and frame. I guess he needed the 'head' room to change out the bolts, eh?

    Rustin, see that you are on here. I've got that 05 F350 CC C&C and would like your info on the EGR delete. Did you complete it?

    6.0 failure and new engine cost

    Glad you are happy with your decision and choice. Making these types of choices is hard to do, weighing about everything to make the decision, then making the decision. Don't look back and wonder. Keep looking forward.

    05 Rear Wiring Diagram

    That would be great. Yes, I can wait. I've been back and forth with the dealership. My last trip turned up nothing. My last desparate action would be to drive to the dealership and have someone go color by color on the harness. I got a feeling the last time, they don't want to see me again...

    05 Rear Wiring Diagram

    I've sold off the custom bed to replace it with a standard long bed (fitting onto a C&C). The rear wiring was cut to splice in the bed's flat 4 setup. Temporarily, I've put magnetic lights onto the tow wiring as that worked. But I've got fast blinkers so I was thinking bad ground. But I have...

    New to SDD

    Recently purchased a 05 F350 CC with a B&W bed on it. It is pretty good loaded with pw, pdl, security alarm, 6.0l/5-sp auto, cc, ac, 3.73s 4x4. I'm not wanting the bed so it is up for sale. I'm looking for a long bed to swap on. It has 115k on it now. I pulled my Jeep on a trailer through the...
