    Turbos are powered by exhaust energy...There isn't a lot when you're sitting still. What exactly are 'we' trying to figure out here? Good luck blowing up your torque converter though...

    how replaceing injectors on a 2001 7.3

    You do not need any 'specialty' tools. a 13mm ratchet wrench is nice as are air tools and swivel sockets. You do not need to remove the entire evapotator housing, however to get #7 out and in you do need to remove the vacuum reservoir that is screwed to the side of it, there may be a heat sheild...

    Unknown loss of coolant

    With all the bone stock trucks that are blowing headgaskets and EGR coolers, etc... its really hard to say that some extra power by any means (except maybe a programmer) could do the damage. I had one come in that was chipped with headgskets out and the Ford technical hotline engineer told me...

    It seem the PATS system is having fun with aftermarket programmers. Is the theft light flashing when you turn the key on?

    Heading to the dealer... need advise

    4r100 At Dealer

    We get ours from Reviva in Minneapolis. They are good units. The greatest advantage is that the warranty is valid at any Ford dealer.

    New Guy, Over heating problem

    They usually lose water due to poor sealing on the endtanks. I have seen one leak from a rad hose o-ring. If there are no external leaks you may have an EGR cooler leaking. Get them checked out ASAP.

    FYI 2008 Super Duty Recall Notice

    Fuel tank stopper bracket is the official term. Radiator takes about 2.5 hours to change. If you run te cooling system down too far the horizontal EGR cooler will likely fail as well.
