    FICM code

    The limiting of boost is caused by the EGR delete. You stated you recently got an SCT? Did you have the custom tune done to ignore the EGR? If not, it will limit your boost to 20-21. I know this because prior to doing an actual EGR delete I simply unplugged the EGR valve and had the same...

    Finally Added Edge Tuner

    To those that state edge guarantess a toasted transmission that is just not true. I have 115,000 miles on my truck with the tuner on the truck since 20,000 miles. I run level two when towing 10,000 lbs. and daily drive in level 3. If you know anybody that knows me, I do not baby my truck...

    Question too much oil on dip stick

    The 6.4l specifically has a problem with the dpf system. Fuel makes its way back into the oiling system during the exhaust stroke when in regeneration. This causes fuel in the oil. I read up on this when I was looking at buying a 6.4l. You need to get that truck into the dealership and make...

    6.0 liter GOOD VS BAD

    6.0l reliability I would say to the original OP read, read, and read some more. There are problems with the 6.0l such as the headgaskets, egr problems etc. It comes down to how comfortable are you with working on your own vehicle. I have 105,000 miles on my truck. It is an 06 F250 lariat...

    High engine oil temp and coolant temps

    Sorry guys just getting back on. The truck made it fine down to Charleston. Going down the highway at 75 miles an hour the truck reached 205 engine oil temps with 68 degree ambient temperature. The truck is following ambient temperature. When I was in an area with 62 degree temps the engine...

    High engine oil temp and coolant temps

    Fan is working. It comes on when temp is 210 on coolant temp and 208 with oil temp. I know 210 isn't as bad as it could get. I have owned the truck since new. Normally around town without pulling a load I would run about 185. I have only heard the fan kick on in the past when pulling 10,000...

    High engine oil temp and coolant temps

    Fordoor, my boost numbers are 20-22 under hard acceleration. 5 psi driving around at 65 mph with cruise control set. There is no lack of power. If anything it seems the truck has more power. I tried disconnecting the EGR today to see if this would help. I figured seeing as it lowers overall...

    High engine oil temp and coolant temps

    Alright, I have tried searching and searching and can't quite come up with the answer. Here is what is going on. I have a 2006 F250 with the 6.0l diesel. I have just over 101K on it. I have an edge tuner that I have had on the truck since 20K. Lately I have seen both my coolant temp and my...

    coolent coming out of degas tank cap

    coolant gas cap puking hold the phone here guys. I respect the knowledge of the guys on this board but I think we are kind of jumping the gun here. It is possible he could have bad head gaskets or he could have a bad egr cooler. Both will cause the same type of symptoms. I had a bad egr...

    What in the heck

    updates Well, I know it has been a long time since an update. Sorry about that, on the road a lot. Anyway the FICM turned out to be the culprit. In the end it tripped codes for all eight injectors with the truck running. Also managed to take out the egr cooler, oil cooler, and egr valve...

    Fan kickin temp?

    I would recommend you keep an eye on your coolant level in the reservoir. I had 10 degrees seperation between my coolant temp and my oil temp. I was losing coolant as well. It turned out my EGR cooler was shot and oil cooler had to be rebuilt. On my truck at slow speeds with engine coolant...

    dtc 0603 help please

    The CEL was for 0603 FICM and the codes for all 8 injectors low. I just wanted to clarify.

    dtc 0603 help please

    po603 I had the same 0603 code. The code appeared for approximately 6 months. I initially saw it during the cold winter months on first morning start. I could clear the code after the truck had been running for a few minutes and it would not appear for the rest of the day. At that time it...

    Hot oil & Antifreeze smell out of vents

    Yeah taking a closer look at your engine coolant temp to oil temp your spread is way to far apart. Ford stated no more than 15 degrees separation between the two. I recommend you get that looked at asap.

    Hot oil & Antifreeze smell out of vents

    250 on your oil temp is way to high. I pull a 10,000 lb load with my 06 f250. Even when I was in alabama with 100 degree temperatures my oil temp only reached 230 degrees. Your fan is constantly kicking on because it is trying to get the truck cooled down. I would say your oil cooler is...

    Question TBC Fault @ 37k miles...wtf

    I didn't buy an extended warranty either. Like I said I was calling for parts because I knew I was beyond the 36,000 miles. None of the parts stores had the parts so I called the dealer. When I talked to the guy at the parts counter he told me he thought my bumper to bumper had been extended...

    Question TBC Fault @ 37k miles...wtf

    Ford extended the bumper to bumper coverage from 3/36,000 to 5/60,000. I know this because I had a rear caliper that was hung and tore up my rotors at 40,000. When I called they informed me my bumper to bumper had been extended to 60,000.

    Article SDD Amsoil Synthetics Test

    I will post up on this. I was running AMSOIL 15W40 in my vehicle from 3000 miles until 79,000 miles. I was running the extended oil filters rated for 25,000 mile change intervals. I would run my OCI at 10,000 miles because this is what I felt comfortable with. The last time I went to change...

    What in the heck

    Strokepower, thanks for the input. I have 82,000 miles on my 06 with all of those miles with the edge tuner on it minus 150. Just recently the truck started acting up. If you look further back in the post you will see where it stranded me after towing. Without the edge tuner on it, I have...

    What in the heck

    Fordoor, at this point I am still not sure it was the edge causing the problem. Wednesday night I went and picked up my trailer with the bronco on it. I towed for about two hours launching hard from the lights. With the stock gauge I was easily seeing 30 psi boost. Anyway ran the truck like...

    What in the heck

    Strokepower, is SCT still having all the problems I have been reading about with tunes not loading and stuff? I would like to try the livewire but not if I am going to go through the hassle of not being able to return my truck to stock. I know several individuals were saying they had saved the...

    What in the heck

    DaveBen, yeah I know. That is why I went with the edge with attitude tuner in the first place. It gave me the ability to monitor all the important parameters like EGT, transmission temp, coolant temp, engine oil temp,etc. It was nice that it was a clean package as well. However after the...

    What in the heck

    Yeah, when i first got my tuner I had various problems with the displays blanking out. I went through five different units before getting one that worked correctly. I have had this unit on the truck for the last two years after finally getting the display problems worked out. It is looking...

    What in the heck

    That was what the previous batteries were indicating. I had read on here that could cause the FICM fault so I swapped out the batteries for some new ones from autozone. 1000 cold cranking amps. The alternator is good because I read 14.4 volts when going up and down the road. When the truck...
