    Glow Plugs

    What is the prescribed method for testing the glow plug system? It looks like if I can get to connectors C1413 and C1414 I can test the output of the Glow Plug Relay and test the continuity of each glow plug but not sure I can get my hands in there. I ask this because each AM that it is...

    Fire Hazzard

    I had asked a question the other day as to why my 04 Excursion was eating up alternators so fast. In the box of the latest alternator was a copy of a TT#663 that speaks to the fact that 2003 6.0 diesels all the way to the F550 had a problem of LOOSE engine ground straps and the result of...

    Coolant Questions

    Last weekend while towing I noticed my coolant temperatures could reach 220 degrees before the clutch fan cut in. I was not impressed to see 220 and far less impressed to see the fan not cut in until 220. What temperatures are you seeing under load? Can I run a lower thermostat? Can I adjust...

    The digital door locks on my Ex. have started to work less frequently. For a while they worked 90% of the time now it is down to less than 50% of the time. Is there a way to clean the contacts within the key pad as I suspect that is where the problem is?

    Temperature control question

    My new 04 Excursion has a step in the heater temperature control that I question. When setting the temperature in heat mode the control moves in 1 degree increments down to 65 degrees. At that point it jumps down to 60 degrees for the next setting. Is this normal? I ask this because 65 is too...

    Daytime running lights

    Just noticed my daytime running lights are out. The fuse is good. Anyone know the location of any relay or resistive load that may be in the circuit? The Ford manual indicates the daytime lights are th normal bulb on lower voltage and my headlights work so I assume it is not a bulb issue.
