    Question Any recommended free mods? ZooDad done

    Check your EGR valve. If it needs it clean it. Not free since you will probably need to get new gaskets for when you put it back. A good look will also help you have some idea about health of your EGR system.

    Question 4" or 5" exhaust? Any downfall to 5?

    With the mileage you quoted I think I would spend more time on preventive maintenance mods and not mess with a tuner. I have a 4" exhaust, with no restrictions, and really like it. It might affect your mileage because it sounds so good you will be more apt to keep your foot on the skinny...

    What happened to everybody?

    Since I have joined the sight I have done more searching and reading than posting. However, the main reason I am not on as much is I moved to an area that essentially has no internet. I considered HughesNet but some of the folks in my area, that have it, say it is not very good and they are...

    Injector Question

    Thanks for all the input. My mechanic suggested doing all 8 at once and I know that is probably the way to go but I have had a few things come up that prevent me from doing that right now. I have thought about selling it. Not because of problems but I just do not get to drive it much and I...

    Injector Question

    Are there any advantages to changing all of the injectors at once? I have a couple that are becoming suspect but would like to just change them unless there is a good, valid reason to change them all.

    Question Off Road diesel mixed with regular diesel

    Thanks for the input guys. You are echoing what I thought but I wanted to get some input from the experts. I will change the filters after I burn this tank of fuel...it was about time to do that anyway.

    Question Off Road diesel mixed with regular diesel

    My father-in-law borrowed my truck, to haul some hay equipment, and he noticed the fuel level was getting low so he pulled it up next to his tank an filled it up with off road diesel. Aside from it being illegal to drive it on the highway is this going to cause me problems in engine operation...

    Questions about the 6.0 Motor?

    Just my $.02 but drive one for a while first. They have lot of power without any mods. I have done a couple of things to mine: 1. blue spring upgrade, 2. 4" turboback exhaust with no cat or muffler and it has about all the power I need. I do not tow a 5th wheel or camper but I haul a lot of...

    Truck has issues only towing in cruise control?

    I have never used the cruise control while hauling, but I cannot believe that alone would cause the "wrench" light illuminate. Dave is right many dealers and part stores will scan your truck and give you the results. The downside is sometimes the result can be pretty vauge. Did you notice any...

    Question Tow/Haul mode or not?

    I only use the tow/haul feature if I am pulling a really heavy load i.e. 30' gooseneck loaded down with round bales, etc. Most lighter loads tend to be handled pretty well without using it. I have used it a few times while hauling cattle with my bumper pull and it stayed in the lower gears a...

    New wiring harness for 6.0

    Whenever I have had an oddball problem the mechanics, I talk to, always tell me to check the wiring harnesses. Chafing is apparently a common problem.

    Holy Cow!!!

    I just had to replace the top hose on the turbo on my truck. That little jewel was nearly $100. I am in the wrong business.

    Question Harpoon the Fuel Tank?

    I have only had the "burping" issue a couple of times. If relieving the burp is the only improvement that I will get I will not bother since it has never been bad enough cause problems. Thanks for the insight.

    Beating that ole dead horse again.

    I have not deleted mine...yet, but I have read whether or not you get a CEL depends on the year model of the truck.

    Question Harpoon the Fuel Tank?

    I recently purchased a fuel pressure gauge and when I install it I was also considering doing the BB mod. I have been reading about "harpooning" the fuel tank and was wanting input from you guys about the benefit of doing this. Does it provide any benefit other than a faster and less...

    Truck Stopped Puking

    My truck was puking under load so I did a coolant flush. Once the flush was completed and refilled with coolant and water the puking actually got worse for a short time under all conditions. Now it has stopped puking altogether whether driving normally or pulling loads. Can I assume the...

    6.0 catalytic converter and Texas law

    I took off my cat when I got my 4" exhaust. I kept it just in case but where I live the chance that inspections will return, and if they return how thorough they will be, is low. I have often wondered how much good is negated when these emission controls fail. I have feeling it is...

    Question Fuel Filters? FICM?

    The filters looked fine when I changed them yesterday...I did not see the ones my father-in-law changed. I have not checked for codes or checked the fuel pressure. The HCFM get drained each time I change the filters. Dave, When you say it was acting erratic what symptoms were you observing?

    Question Fuel Filters? FICM?

    I have problem and need the input from my fellow SDD members. I have replaced the fuel filters on my truck three times in the last 5000 miles. The first time was routine maintenance. I changed the filters the same time I replaced my batteries last November. A month ago my father-in-law had...

    Question Filter Material Becoming Brittle

    I do not remember what brand they were - not Motorcraft, unfortunately. What about the ULSD would cause the filter material to become hard/brittle? Or is it likely to be something else? I could understand gasoline...I have had it happen to those filters, especially if they sit a while.
