    IS THIS RIGHT?

    Final update. Another dealer checked it out before my trip to Colorado. They gave it a clean bill of health. I got to northern New Mexico and it started giving me a bunch of turbo whistle from under the hood. Power was still there, but something was wrong. I spoke with the service director...

    IS THIS RIGHT?

    I took it to another dealer and went in only to find out that the oil level was within operating range. It was near the top, but in the range. They agreed to perform some tests to make sure the other dealer did the job correctly. Everything checked out as far as we can tell. We'll see this...

    IS THIS RIGHT?

    Understood, thanks. The only reason I continue to go to this dealer is that it is less than 1 mile from where I work. I'll start calling around interviewing service departments. It is really sad that one would have to do this.

    IS THIS RIGHT?

    I can't imagine Ford would allow them to do that. They were on the the phone with the Hotline. One would hope that between the two of them they would be able to figure out what was causing it.

    IS THIS RIGHT?

    Ok guys, what should I do? They supposedly fixed it, but I checked the oil last night to make sure the problem was gone. It was above the top of the dipstick again. I have an appointment to take it back to the shop on Wednesday. Should I let them have another crack at it? Could they...

    IS THIS RIGHT?

    BP- Yes they put fresh oil in. they offered up 7yr 200k engine warranty. I don't keep my trucks that long so they were kind enough to give me a 5yr 75k maintenence contract.

    IS THIS RIGHT?

    they replaced the high pressure fuel injection pump. Everything seems good now. they are offering me an extended warranty on the motor for my troubles. I haven't towed with it yet, but the empty mileage seems about the same.

    IS THIS RIGHT?

    Me too. I'll ask when I pick it up tomorrow. They should button it up today and then test drive it tomorrow according to my service guy. I have handled this much better than I thought I would. I was pretty sure I was going to come unglued. I guess we'll see if we have any other issues.

    IS THIS RIGHT?

    They say it is the high pressure fuel pump. Has anyone else had this issue or am I the lucky one?

    IS THIS RIGHT?

    it is in the shop and they are testing the oil right now. they say ford told them to drain the oil and see how much fuel is in it. sounds like they may be on the right track. I hope they can get it done soon because I need my truck Friday. Thanks for your helpful responses.

    IS THIS RIGHT?

    4.10 gearing It is over full again after a 600 mile run. I changed my oil last week and set the oil level to the lowest setting on the dip stick. Now it is all the way up about 5-7mm up on the shaft. I am taking it in on Tuesday. What can it be other than injectors? Thanks for any...

    IS THIS RIGHT?

    My dealer told me the same thing. I put less oil in on my last change. I got 4.39mpg on a run last friday pulling my 10k travel trailer into a head wind at 65-70 mph in the Texas hill country. I know I had some things working against me, but come on, 4.39 is the worst mileage I have ever even...

    Extra fuel capacity

    Thanks for that link. I feel much more confident about setting up my own system now. I have not decided which way I am going to go at this point, but that was a very helpful write up.

    Extra fuel capacity

    Thank you all for the info. It sounds like I need to do more research. I am speaking with KSH Marine about a custom tank. It sounds as if I need to be able to tell the 2nd tank when to drain into my factory tank. If I can do that reliably I should be okay, right? We have a strategy mapped...

    Extra fuel capacity

    Off-road motorcycles. I have a long bed (172" wheel base) A flat tank may be an option. I could put the front wheel on the tank. I am with you on taking the tank to my next truck!! I looked at all 3 links and I think I will call KSH to see what they recommend. I didn't see a...

    Extra fuel capacity

    These are excellent points gentlemen. I appreciate these insightful responses. And to respond to Bushpilot about the spare tire: A spare tire is portable. A fixed tank is not. I can put the spare in between the bikes or even in the trailer. I would consider this as a viable option if I...

    Extra fuel capacity

    The only one I have seen is from aerotanks. they quoted me 125 in freight and 860 for the tank which includes the pump. I am leary about pumping from one tank to another tank and the installation of the lines and everything. That is why I am asking. You can google aero tanks and it...

    Extra fuel capacity

    What are you guys using for either replacement tanks or additional tanks under the truck? I have seen a couple of 62 gallon options and a 40 gallon spare tire mounted option. Just curious to see if there are other options out there. I am not sure this is the right spot to post this as I am...

    I have been using another Ford Diesel forum for years and it has reached a point where there was not enough people there with experience. In any event I look forward to discussing my F350 FX4 DRW with you folks.
