    Question EGR Issues

    Thanks Dave, this truck is by no means a grocery getter. It pulls 10,000lbs every day. I ended up taking back into the dealer and I was told the fix is to carbon flush the whole system which costs $800 and not covered under warranty because it is a fuel quality problem.

    Question Hard/ no start conditions

    Ok Dave. The battery disconnect and reconnect did not allow it to start. It will crank but just no fire. There have been numerous issues with this truck under warrenty and im not convinced the dealer has reflashed accordingly.

    Question Hard/ no start conditions

    Will do, the batteries on the E-Series diesels are mounted passenger side on the frame in a drop down box basically a royal pia and very prone to corrosion.

    Question Hard/ no start conditions

    Hey guys it has been forever since I have been on the site and my once previous power stroke addiction is coming back :D. I have an 06 E-350 with a 6.0 that cranks forever before it starts. If the key is turned for a few seconds the first try then turned back off and cycled again for a second...

    comment The Revenuers are Coming,

    Road tax should be a set limit away from fuel. I think that the secretary of state should record odometer readings each year tax it in a lump sum. Might as well have fees due at the same time, you have to pay fees to register your vehicle, $88 for my truck in Michigan.

    Wasted fuel!

    One thing about fasteners is don't go to the hardware. As big joe said I stock up from fastenal and get way better deals. Bolts at the hardware in 100 ct. cost 3 times the amount than a supply company. Plus they usually have everything you need so driving from lowe's to home depot, menards...

    PowerStroke Diesel Being Replaced By?

    Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the next round of tougher emssions is the reason for another motor to be produced. As far as the engine goes I would be very curious to see one. I just wonder why they don't use an inline 6 versus the V8. With the fuel crisis I think a 6 would be more...

    Laugh at the mechanic..

    Well you are not the only one with electronic issues. I have been battling a onan generator with a kubota diesel. First it would not start and run, had a short in the circuit board. Now the field in the generator is shorted out and I need to find one. :rant

    I Finally Have A Website, Whatta Think?

    Looks good Bama, very simple and not to gaudy. One thing is for sure, people use the computer more to find contractors than the yellow pages. I get calls all the time "I saw your website and wonder ----"

    7.3 Fuel Milage, reliability, 2001

    Welcome to the site. Some others may be able to help you out since I have not had much time with my 7.3's. One thing is for sure finding a 2001 7.3 with only 55K on it is a blessing. I would seriously get that truck quick if the price is right.

    Winter blend-good riddance

    If the winter blend is gone now what is their excuse for the prices. Heating oil should be mostly through with also. Is it high demand? I cannot believe $4.29 is justifible.

    It is official, we are in a recession.

    That's for sure. I need a good shop rat, but no one is willing to do it because they feel it is very labor intensive. Next thing I hear is how no one can find a job blah, blah, blah. :dunno

    Inverter generator for camper

    How about an onan 7000 ;) I have one in a gas version and a kubota diesel version that work great for my pipeline inspection trucks. It will run the a/c, air compressor, and hydraulic pump simoltaneously.

    Hard times for some.

    As far as the Great Depression, I learned that my great grandparents had a huge farm in Novi/Farmington, MI, but lost it all from the depression. I cannot believe the size of the lad they had. It is all built up now, but it was about 3 X 10 miles in width and length. I am looking at opening...

    WILL THIS FIT.....?

    Now would you be talking the 6 cyl model or the 14 cyl model? You would have plenty of room it you went with the 6, but mine as well go with the 14 right of the bat because of the incredible amount of HP and TQ. I would suggest some larger tires with a higher weight rating and some minor...

    fuel prices: more stupidity

    Like our stupid governer in Michigan she wanted to raise it 19 cents last year for road tax that they will spend for something else. Don't even get me started on this tax crap in Michigan.

    Catalytic Converter

    I saw on America's most wanted last week a murder for the cash a scrap driver was carrying for converters. Bama may have heard of this, it took place in Alabama.

    Okay go ahead and laugh

    On the rental topic my portajohn service tech was delivering johns today and had a run in with a nut case about her rental car. He said he was about 50 feet away from her and she ran to move it to protect it from damage. The funniest part is that he was on a side walk going away from the...
