    DEAD 6.0 Central PA

    Thanks. I'll have to keep that in mind. Hopefully I can find somebody to scan for codes to see what comes up. The CEL came on right before this all started going on. I forgot to mention that in my original post.

    DEAD 6.0 Central PA

    Hey folks, I have a 2004 f-350 that has not moved in 6-7 weeks. It started when the temperature really dropped. It was hard starting, turn it over, and over.....That went on for about 3-4 days. I figured it was glow plug related, so i ordered a set. Got the plugs THEN realized what a PITA...

    Rust repair panels

    I drilled out all of the all of the old spot welds for the "inner wheel wells" they were in bad shape. The rust that is on the outside of the truck box over the wheels should be able to be cut out and replaced with a few small patches. (like 2''x2") and coverd up with a set of Bushwacker fender...

    experience with head studs

    I was wondering if anyone could tell me if Head studs are the "Real deal" as far as curing blown headgaskets, or has anyone still stretched them? The reason i ask is because I *may* have an opportunity to have then installed at cost sometime in the next few months. I don't really need them...

    Fuel Filters

    last night i bought and changed the fuel filters on my truck for the first time since I've owned it. The one on the frame rail is a serious pain in the you know what. My question is: What and where is a good spot to buy these filters? I paid $52.00 and i feel like i got robbed. Is that a...

    Periodic heavy white smoke

    update I got the truck back yesteday. It was just the EGR cooler so they covered it. Hopefully I don't ever have to deal with them again because it sucked.

    Periodic heavy white smoke

    OK, The dealership got back in touch with me last night and they said that after being in contact with ford that they will warranty and replace egr and cooler but if it turns out to be headgaskets it's on me. They also told me that the headgaskets had been replaced on this truck at 57,000mi...

    Periodic heavy white smoke

    It smells like steamy exhaust if that makes sence. Still waiting on a response from the dealership on if they are going to cover it.

    Periodic heavy white smoke

    I thought it could be a headgasket issue, but it would seem to me that they would have been blown when i bought last August (if indeed there was a tunner on it). I was doing absolutely nothing out of the ordinary when i first noticed the white smoke. I blew a headgasket in my old 3/4 gas...

    Periodic heavy white smoke

    I have a problem with periodic big puffs of white smoke that seem to come and go. It's not just a little, it looks like a "smoke machine". This has happened about 5 times so i took it to the dealer. Now they are telling me that it's throwing tones of "fishy" codes that point to a tunner or...

    04 "bucking" on hills with load

    So, I cleaned the EGR valve and it still "bucks" at around 2000rpm up hills, but the weird thing is that when i just unplug it, it seems fine. Does the EGR valve go bad, I always thought that if you just cleaned them all should be well. A

    04 "bucking" on hills with load

    no guages, sorry. Is it common for people to just leave the egr disconnected? I had alot of problems with the egr in my tdi jetta and eventualy just disconnected it and it didn't even throw a CEL.

    Tie rod / drag link ?

    yeah that's the one, but at my local parts store they only have it listed for 2wd and the other 3 "rod ends" are for both 2 and 4wd applications. I don't want to have them order it and it be wrong.

    Tie rod / drag link ?

    does anybody know if the steering linkage is the same on 2wd and 4wd drive models? I went to the local auto parts store and they don't have what they call the "passanger inner tie rod end" for an 2004 6.0 f350 4wd but they do have for a 2wd model. Is there a difference? Also if anybody has a...

    03-04 6.0 ???

    this pretty much tells me that it's alot more common for people to complain the few times something goes wrong, then praise the 99% of the time when things go smooth. I've had good luck with my '04, but everyone I talk to about my truck is like "aren't those suppose to be junk" and i've just...

    I read a lot of stuff refering to the 03's and 04's questioning there durability and saying they're problamatic and don't do any mods to them. My question are 1) what are the problems? 2) how can they be resolved/fixed? 3) when were these problems addressed? the reason i ask is because...
