    Slow to start and skipping under load

    Update #2: pulled the valve covers off and did the air test again to find the leak. Pulled the High Pressure Manifold Plug out and the lower o ring was erroded and twisted on both sides. Also replaced the tubes that go down through the High Pressue Manifold to the tubes from the HPOP. As of...

    Slow to start and skipping under load

    UPDATE: Did the High Pressure Oil System leak test and the system is leaking. The air noise is present under both valve covers. I will be checking the High Pressure Oil Rails and the connector for the HPOP this weekend.

    Slow to start and skipping under load

    Ok guys and gals, i posted a few months ago about my 06 6.0 being slow to start. It continues to be slow to start and now when pulling my boat it will skip about 3/4 up a small hill. Other than these two things it runs fine. It does not matter the temperature outside or if the truck is hot...

    rough start and running

    I have used the Ford 15W 40 until this last oil change at 95K. I switched over to the Rotella 15W40 oil. I change the oil every 5k and have been hesitant and cheap. So I have not switched to the Synthetics. I like Synthetic oils just being cheap. It is is an oiling problem with the HPO...

    rough start and running

    Well, I hot the heads done last summer and they did the FICM then. That was at about 90K miles. The truck has about 98K now. i guess the question is how often does the HPOP go out? I am not down with easter egging this thing. It runs fine once it starts. Can the SCT scan for this as well?

    rough start and running

    I am looking for some feedback on this thread. My 06 has been taking longer to start than normal, runs fine once running. I recently replaced the SCT fitting on the HPOP with the updated fitting but have the same problem. I have seen where the o rings on the oil rail drains and the fitting on...

    Fuel leak

    Update. Got fuel filter o ring kit and replaced all the o rings on the fuel filter bowl on motor. Looks like this has taken care of the problem. Currently no leaks.

    Fuel leak

    There is fuel leaking from my fuel filter housing on the engine. I believe it is from the plate on the front of the housing. Has anyone else had this problem and what did you have to do? Does the o ring/gasket come in a kit or indivigually? I plan on checking with the stealership tomorrow. Any...

    Driveshaft Help

    The bearing itself should not have any play. The rubber that suppors the bearing will have some play but not alot. Those carrier bearings will make a lot of racket if they are bad and you will get a lot of extra vibration in the driveline that you should be feeling in the seat of you pants.

    exhaust leaks normal?

    I used a band clamp on the down pipe to keep this from happening and it is a better fit than the U-bolts. I also get a little soot from the same spot on my MBRP. I have considered band clamps for the remaining joints but have not been that worried about it to get back under there to do it...

    VW TDI Passat.. Pros/cons?

    I have an 04 Jetta. I am 6' tall and it is ok. The arm and leg room is good. My right leg hits the center console when driving but that is not bad. I like it alot. I typically get 40-45 mpg depending how fast and where we are driving. As for your confort, it is not like a cady but it...

    Royal Purple in the Diffs

    1. I have no idea about running temps. 2. The RTV you use should say how long to wait on it but i just put it on the diff cover and bolted it up. (After cleaning all the surfaces of course.) 3. Most of the fluid will come out when you take the covers off. Just wipe out the left over...

    Just changed fuel filters

    Thank you, I used a napa filter the first time and this time used the ford filter. I will continue to use ford or international filters. I have not been draining the HFCM but will from now on.

    Just changed fuel filters

    I just replaced my fuel filters and in the water seperator there was some white milky stuff in there. Was this water or could it be something else?

    What is needed to service a 6.0 ?

    Bama, I get my filters from walmart. I use the ford filter. The last time I bought one all the fram filters were falling apart and the ford ones were not. That is why I use the Ford filters from there. I get my oil from advanced auto parts. They sell the ford oil in 5 quart bottles for...

    Royal Purple in the Diffs

    I emptied three quarts in the front (Dana 60) and three quarts in the rear (Ford 10.5) with a 4 oz. bottle of modifier. If you don't use the modifier you will need four bottles for the rear. You will use three and a little of the fourth.

    Cat Delete?

    Bush, It was from 4wheelparts (local pickup and 10% mil. disc.) in the original MBRP packing, unopened. It was not that big of a deal. I ended up getting an entire system from the same place with a 20% discount. The biggest thing I am saying is, on the ground, in the driveway, by...

    Cat Delete?

    Mine did not come with the gasket or bolts. I did not use a gasket to put it in my stock system and did not have an exhaust leak problem. But, if you are doing it by yourself it will take a little longer than 15min or so. I went to the hardware store and bought some 2-2.5" grade 8 bolts...

    Royal Purple in the Diffs

    I see. it is too late now. I am not going to spend another $30-40 on some more gear oil when the diff really has never locked up much anyhow. I guess Ford puts too much modifier in them too. My owners manual says to put 8oz. of modifier and I have read other places to only put in 4 oz...

    Royal Purple in the Diffs

    Bush, I got the Ford modifier that is in a 4 oz. bottle. I know that the Royal Purple is supposed to have that stuff in it. VALKYRIES said he put a little extra in his so I figured what will it hurt. To add to this I really don't think it was locking up that well anyhow. i am not that...

    Royal Purple in the Diffs

    I just got my diff cover. I replaced both front and rear gear lube with the RP and one bottle of friction modifier in the rear. It looks great and would recommend this to anyone. Thank you all for your input and assistance. Andy

    Truck Surging

    Bush, I really can say exactly how much oil was used. He gets it done at a Dealer where he lives. All this easter egging has been done by a dealer that has spent a lot of time (somewhere in the range of a month total time here and there) with his truck. I don't think he wants to use another...
