    Using heating oil as fuel for the truck, damage?

    The dye is added to the Highway fuel not the off road fuel and the off road fuel has a red tint to it because of the high sulfur content,the highway fuel in most states now has a bit of a greenish yellow tint,and the highway fuel won't hurt the engine or fuel system because the company I worked...

    stolen truck

    The E-series has a solenoid before the starter that activates when the ignition is on then in the crank position the solenoid on the starter is activated so what I would suggest is to locate a solenoid from a 98 E-350 some place and bring all your power feeds to it just the way they are at the...

    Shudder when accelerating uphill on curve

    If there isn't any play like a banging when you put it in drive or reverse then your rear end should be fine. It's like the dealer said that it would be like the old style slip Diff's.THey used to have the diff lock as an option in the early 70's because there was an option for it on my 71 F100...

    Shudder when accelerating uphill on curve

    I'm starting to get the same on a few of my Units but one seems like the noise is coming from the trans the other is the rear end on up grades no matter what the speed and the friction modifier is the key because Ford misses alot of the trucks that roll out.Two out of Five trucks are making the...

    Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner But as it stands I would wait unless it's still under warranty and ask the dealer if they would advise doing it if it's under warranty.

    Cold Start TSB INFO

    Cost The cost is going to depend on the Dealer because some dealers have mechanics that aren't all that good but with my past exp if the mechanic is good it should take about an hour and the cost depends on the what the dealer charges per hour. I'm from Seymour and work in Knoxville.

    Cold Start TSB INFO

    Ford will not cover repairs to do with this TSB unless they put out a recall on it which I don't see happening with all the warranty work there having to do on the 6.0's. I have a 2006 in the shop now getting the injector harness on the engine which is $$$$$$$$$$$ for Ford.

    I'm working on this unit from a distance. I work on 7.3's and 6.0's for an ambulance service and I've got a new mechanic I'm over seeing in another location in Tennessee and seems to think glow plugs are the cause all the time.So I've been giving him things to Diag to find the problem so you...
