    240k on truck - UOA at 5k OCI

    Imagine that, 5000 miles on a 5W40 oil .... and the 12.1 viscosity is still higher (not by much, but it is) than Rotella 10W30 oil that starts at a 12.0! So much for the RAPID shearing internet posts!

    03 excursion no start no power to obd plug

    More than likely it is the fuel pump relay that is non replaceable. It is soldered into a circuit board inside the central junction box.

    Do you still lack Power to the Data Link Connector? Will your starter crank with the key?

    My 2007 Ford F-250 Build Thread

    I have 237k miles on my 2006 6.0L. Still running strong, but it requires more maintenance and good troubleshooting skills (and no cheap parts). In addition to owning one, I also work on them. 15k miles is a good start, but at that annual mileage, report back in 6-7 years and tell us how it...

    DIESEL SMELL IN CAB

    Are you sure you meant to say you would get over 30 mpg? If so, then what engine are you talking about?

    DIESEL SMELL IN CAB

    I think I would have to have the oil analyzed for diesel content just for peace of mind. I would probably also remove the coolant from the degas bottle to get a better look/smell of it. The thing about a leak at one of the back head plugs is that it isn't easily seen and could drip on an...

    Could you have a small leak at one of the plugs in the back of a head?

    My 2007 Ford F-250 Build Thread

    He feels one way, you feel another. That isn't going to get resolved on a simple forum thread. There are MANY 6.0L forums out there, and tons of detailed information. All this can be used to decide for yourself. Clearly the 6.0L suffered from many problems from 2003 to 2010. Most of which...

    03 excursion no start no power to obd plug

    Have you checked fuse #12 yet? Have you specifically checked pin #16 on the DLC (data lick connector), ie OBDII connector, for 12V power? I wonder if you have an injector that is leaking combustion gas beck into the fuel line. You can fill the secondary fuel filter bowl with diesel, and then...

    My 2007 Ford F-250 Build Thread

    I have done this a long time, on a dozen 6.0L forums, and am VERY familiar with what the SCT does and doesn't do. Actually, I have one. I also know how difficult it is to troubleshoot the 6.0L with limited information. The 6.0L is a "different animal" than the 6.9L or 7.3L! I have owned a...

    My 2007 Ford F-250 Build Thread

    The SCT is absolutely NOT a good coder reader. ForScan is what you want for reading codes. A coolant filter won't help a clogged oil cooler or a dirty coolant system. You need to make sure all of that is OK before you will have reliability.

    Replaced fuel pump now I can’t get fuel to upper bowl

    Perhaps the suction line inside the tank has broken. It is common to fail in one of two places: 1. at the screen on the bottom of the tube 2. at the vacuum relief mechanism on the side of the tube at about the 1/4 level Edit - I see in another post that you have 1/2 a tank of fuel. That means...

    Clear wax/grease in coolant reservoir?

    I've not seen waxy material in the coolant unless some fuel has leaked in.

    Kinda weird issue

    The pump will not contact the front cover unless it fails. OEM pumps are fine. The plastic impellor problems were a LONG time ago.

    Fuel pressur issue want some input please

    hasn't happened to me, but yes. Low pressure can cause the injector to fail and one possible failure mode is to dump excess fuel into the cylinder. Rectifying itself while running sounds a little fishy, but I suppose it is possible. IMO you made an incredibly good purchase!

    P0672, P2290, and battery light?

    First of all - what 04 engine do you have? If it has the 03 engine in it, the ICP sensor will be behind the turbo ..... in an area that is exposed to a lot of heat. That is a big reason for the failure of the early sensors. That said, even in that location, the sensors for the 04.5 and up...

    would you buy?

    Do you know for a fact it was a cold engine though? How did it start when fully warmed up? No one should buy a used 6.0L without an engine monitor and scan tool. One specific thing to look for is oil and coolant temperatures when fully warmed up. So many used 6.0's have clogged up oil...

    Fuel in Degas Bottle

    Head gasket (or head bolt) issues have a different set of symptoms than a cracked head at the injector hold-down bolt location.
