    Plug-in block heater

    I use a timer on mine and set it to run for 2 hours before I leave for work. Glow plug light only stays lit for about 3 seconds, truck fires right up, and I get heat almost immediately. I am in central Indiana, so cold here is certainly not like cold in some of the further north areas...

    Cleaning exhaust filter

    I am a bit frustrated with my truck today. I just finished up a 3 hour road trip that turned into a 3 1/2 hour road trip thanks to a "Cleaning Exhaust Filter" cycle deciding to start about 10 minutes from my house. I wish Ford would come up with some way to manually initiate an exhaust...

    Steering wheel lock

    Yep, just like if it were running except harder to turn.

    Steering wheel lock

    Not sure which forum this belongs in...I noticed this morning when parking my truck at work that the steering wheel does not lock when the truck is shut off. I do not know if it has always been this way or if this is a new occurrance. On a 2009 F250, should the steering lock when the engine is...

    Where do you fit in?

    My wife does not hesitate to drive in the rain, but refuses to drive if there is snow/ice on the roads. We live in Indiana so for 3-5 months a year, I am the primary driver when roads conditions deteriorate. If I am the only one in the house driving under those conditions, seems to make sense...

    White smoke and no cleaning filter message

    I had similar "white smoke screen" problems on my 2009. The Dealer diagnosed it as a "bad charge air cooler" and replaced it IAW TSB 11-2-2. The Master Tech also told me the 6.4 is somewhat finicky regarding fuel quality. Unlike the 7.3, and to a lesser degree, the 6.0 which will run pretty...

    Tapping / Buzzing in lower dash

    On my '09 F250 I recently noticed an erratic, light tapping and buzzing noise. It is not very loud and first noticed it when I turned the radio off after driving to the store. It is not there all of the time; comes and goes with no apparent regularity. I thought it might be the CD changer...

    PCM Reflash Issues?

    I had another episode of the "white smoke" and almost got into an accident because the truck simply wouldn't go when crossing through an intersection after having driven about 15 miles in a driving rain storm. I was due for my next oil change so I had the Master Tech check that out, again...

    PCM Reflash Issues?

    It's been about a month since the dealer redid the reflash on my truck. I have put about 2100 miles on it in this timeframe. My observations are as follows: - Mileage has definitely increased. Currently averaging about 17.5 (hand calculating) in my city/hwy driving. Was below 15 before...

    PCM Reflash Issues?

    Went to the dealer today. Master tech checked out the truck and reflashed the PCM with the 11B23B program. Based on the tech code on my receipt, he did NOT do the initial reflash on my truck. I ran it pretty hard on a 100 mile road trip this afternoon. My mileage actually was improving, on...

    PCM Reflash Issues?

    Called my dealer today. Spoke to the Service Manager. I asked what the reflash was supposed to do. He read off a list of things it is supposed to fix, ironically, the list was very similar to my list of complaints since having it done, except for the no notice of regen. When I told him that...

    PCM Reflash Issues?

    I took my truck in for it's 25K oil change on 4/9/11. Dealer installed the PCM reflash 11B23B. The truck is absolutely 100% factory stock. Since this service I have noted the following: - Fuel mileage is still miserable. No better/no worse. - Engine does not seem to be as quiet as it...

    Job #

    I have my window sticker, where is the job# located?

    Job #

    OK, so my 2009 is definately a "Job 3". I have SYNC, so that makes sense.

    I am new to this forum. I am trying to figure out how to tell what "Job #" my truck is. I have a 2009 F250 Lariat. Thanks.
