    6.0L Questions

    Why have the dealer screw with the truck. I've read about and continue to read the diesel forums about this engine with all the leak concerns. I'm used to the Big 3 engines leaking, wether built inhouse or by someone else. If the engine starts pouring oil out all over the ground, then...

    There should be a block drain behind the starter. I was planning on changing my coolant this past Saturday but didn't get to it. Hopefully in the next two weeks.

    Planet Ford

    The MAP sensor, Barometeric pressure sensor and the Exhaust pressure sensor should all read the same value key on engine off. Course you need a scanner to read these values. Possible EBP sensor tube is blocked with carbon and oil deposits. If that is the case a code may not be set. The EBP...

    I purchase Autolite oil filters when available at the Neshaminy Pa Walmart. The box is red and white. Part number is AL2016W. The filter is the same filter as seen in the Motorcraft and Fram boxes. The filter is contained in the clear plastic shrink wrap with the o-ring and the small...

    Saving $$$$$$

    I achieve 18mpg when I set my cruise control to keep the tachometer at the first mark to the left of 2000rpm mark which should be about 1750rpm. Vehicle speed indicated on my speedometer shows 61-62mph. I travel in the far right lane all the time and even the big rigs try to move me out of...

    Transmission service interval?

    Your owners manual states transmission fluid and external filter replacement should be performed every 30,000 miles. EDIT: I first changed my trans fluid, the trans pan filter and the external bypass filter at 22,000 miles. I have 73,000+ miles now and will be changing again soon.

    Got me a new problem

    For what it's worth: My 2004 was sounding like the engihne speed was increasing and decreasing when the cruise control was set however no driveability problems were noted or felt. I had no out of ordinary noises at idle. I checked codes and had several EGR codes stored in memory. I...

    Should I or Shouldn't I

    My sister-in-law has an early 2004 Excursion with a late 2003 Power Stroke. She received the new recall notice to update the PCM by eliminating the EBP sensor and instead infer exhaust pressure. It's what, the 06E17 flash?? I told her to not get the flash done if she is happy with her fuel...

    PROBLEM WITH EGR

    Recalls are for life of the vehicle. If they have not been performed then they will be done at the dealer if they do their job and run an OASIS report.

    F250 and F350 price difference

    What really is the retail price difference between the F250 and the F350 models besides the extra money needed for registration. I'm working on trading up my 2004 to a 2006 model. I'm looking at a crew cab long bed PowerStroke. May possibly switch from the Torqshift transmission to the 6...

    The numbers that I posted earlier are all hand calculated. I do not have a lie-o-meter in my rig. I always fill the tank to the top of the filler tube.
