    Setting off Check engine light when under load

    These codes also have been coming up when the programer is in stock mode, where as I havent had any CEL in previous years. Makes me wonder if I have a waste gate controller problem, in which it is stock. As far as a BPRV I have not put one on the truck since I purchased it 8 years ago. Can...

    Well I have a small update. I took the truck to the local shop and at first they thought it was the turbo leaking, 200 labor plus parts. Then they changed there mind and said it looked like the valve cover gaskets, 550 labor and parts. I have done this before and decided to pick the truck up...

    6.0 yes or no?

    My 7.3 has been a great truck, however the body is starting to rust. Im thinking of going to a 6.0 crew cab because they seem to be affordable these days. I have heard the horror stories about the dependability of the 6.0 and wonder if I should just spend the extra money and by a 6.4 or redo...

    Fuel mileage. Whats normal?

    I checked the donuts on the up pipes and I do not see any soot gathered around them. However when I spray some soapy water on them they bubble instantly. This may be a factor. Has anyone changed them before? Does the Turbo need to be pulled in order to change them?

    Warn Lockouts for F250

    OK I finally installed my new warn lockouts and have a few more questions. I had to plug the vaccum hoses and just for giggles I switched the 4x4 switch on to see if there was any vaccum on the hoses. There was nothing. Is this normal? Does the vaccum pick up at higher rpm or do I have a bad...

    White smoke when starting in cold.

    The 40 degrees temp ended 4 months ago, but anyway I guess I will try the glow plugs once again and see what happens in the fall. Your truck wouldn't start at all when the controller (modulator) went bad u say? I hope mine is not bad they ain't cheep!

    White smoke when starting in cold.

    When I start my truck in 40 degree and below temps I get alot of white smoke out of the exhaust. Did a fuel filter change today and noticed a heating element in the bottom of the filter bowl. Just curious if this element was to go out if it would cause the smoke in the cold mornings?

    hpop oil leak

    I had the plug go bad on the hpop and it leaked pretty bad. Like a quart every five minutes. I had to replace the hpop and I still get oil in the valley, but its pry two quarts every 3000 miles.

    F250 rumble at 60mph

    I got the rumble at 60 MPH solved by having the drive shaft balanced. But it still rumbles when turning at a stop, especially when towing. I wonder if its just the over size tires.
