    Help Needed A/C Quit

    Thanks to all of you again. Yesterday I got under and checked the compressor and found that the clutch disc and hub came off in my hand, there was no bolt in it. The shims were still in the hub but I could not tell if the bolt had broken or just come out. This morning I called three local...

    Help Needed A/C Quit

    Thank you. Getting old doesn't seem to have taken any reasoning away from me. Can I do this without taking the compressor out of the truck? Is there any way to check the field coil and clutch before disassembly? I have unplugged the pressure cycling switch on the accumulator then jumpered the...

    Help Needed A/C Quit

    Me and the wife were headed for Emeril's Fish House Monday (7/21/08) and the A/C just quit. The Ms gulf coast is no place to be w/o A/C. The truck is an '04 F250 SD and has been going strong since replacing all the injectors. The low side pressure is reading 100+ and appears to hold when the...

    I Think I May Have Injector Troubles?

    Been there Sorry to hear of your troubles. I was just there, a whole month of it. Mine would spin real good but absolutely NO GO. Got it to the best local dealer and they had to call Ford for assistance in diagnosing. Final call? 8, that's correct, all injectors were gone. Cost? $467.00...

    What to look for when buying used 6.0

    From what I've experienced and read here have the EGR cooler checked out real good. They seem to fail quite unexpectedly with no preceding indications other than a small loss of coolant.

    Coolant loss

    White smoke From what I am seeing here this is a known problem. Just last week my '04 250 did the same thing. Have had the truck just over a year and now have 117k and it is in the shop in Hattisburg waiting for them to find the time to work on it. There were no prior indications except for...

    FS-2500 bypass filter system

    Thanks to you all for the rapid response and for the accuracy an honesty. I thought that my system would be here and on the way to install by now but I was informed this morning that it will be a couple of weeks before I can get the system due to a law suit alledging that advertising for the...

    Coolant Quandry

    Got back from a trip to Ft. Benning to see our grandson off and noticed a strong smell of coolant in the cab. Checked the floors for signs of blown heater core; floors not even damp. Checked under the hood and on the ground, nothing visable. I did notice a white residue around the radiator...

    FS-2500 bypass filter system

    Is there any kind of history available from current users? I mean someone like us who does not have another "dog in the hunt". I've sent for mine and plan to install this coming week. If it is half as good as advertised I'll be very pleased.

    New to the diesel arena and glad to find this site. Does anyone put out a manuel for the 2004 SD? I bought mine for many reasons primarily long life and good travel. I've looked for Haynes and Chilton but they have not published one yet. Any help will be appreciated. I'm not new to...
