    2005 6.0 diesel wont stay running

    Hey Everyone, Well, I tried the ant-gelling stuff and two new fuel filters and no positive reaction from my truck. It still ran the same way. So after the busy week, we all know as Christmas, I got the truck to the dealership. At first, they could not find a problem, no DTC codes. So while...

    2005 6.0 diesel wont stay running

    I'm gonna try the anti-gelling stuff and new fuel filters that alot of guys are suggesting and see if that works. I never thought of the gelling issue along the frame from all the snow and ice spray. Thanks for that enlightenment BIG JOE.

    2005 6.0 diesel wont stay running

    I appreciate all the advice on this problem. Question about gelling...if the truck starts fine in the am, when its the coldest right now, would that still be a gelling issue. The problem seems to be after its ran for 15-30 minutes driving then shut down, it won't idle properly when...

    2005 6.0 diesel wont stay running

    Thanks DaveBen for the explanation of gelling. Makes perfect sense now. I had planned on taking the truck to a shop today, but ending up having to shovel the fresh powder. 14" so far with more snow on the way. Great weather for my snowboarding addiction, but without a truck to get me to the...

    Tankerdude was suggesting that I let my oil changes go from 3000 miles to 5000 miles. I am pretty religious with changing my oil and fuel filters within safe intervals. Dave thanks...still at a lost at the problem. Monday the shop opens and hopefully will have some answers.

    Anyone have any advice? 2005 6.0L stock, died in parking lot of grocery store today. When I go to start it it seems to have a low idle, less than 1000 RPM. Try to put it in gear and it dies. Won't idle for very long either. No codes, or warning lights going off. I had the EGR, FICM...

    2005 blueish/white smoke

    egregg57-Thanks for the very well described description of potential problems. For some reason I thought I updated the thread when I got the repair work done. Your answer was dead on...as it was my EGR cooler, oil cooler and FICM that all failed. The dealership stated when the EGR cooler...
