Turbo, injector pump, or what??
My '06, F350, with a 6.0 is acting up - again. Four times over the past two days, the truck has had no acceleration. From a stop, I give it some throttle and it just rumbles, belching out black smoke. It wants to run, but there's no power. I let off and then back into it and the turbo winds up...- Doc

Brakes or what?
Today, I was pulling into a parking slot. Front wheels hit the parking block and suddenly I heard a ratching sound that got worse when I turned the steering wheel. Okay, I checked my power steering fluid and it was just a tiny bit low, filled it up and tried again. Same problem. Whats odd...- Doc

Load engine noise
After driving only a 8-10 miles and then idling for about 2 minutes I heard a loud roaring noise coming from the engine compartment. Engine was at operating temperature but not overheating. Fan clutch maybe?- Doc

Chips, power, and fuel mileage
With diesel selling at close the the price of gold I'd like to find some way to increase my fuel mileage. Wouldn't everyone? Anyway, I was talking with a Bully Dog chip sales guy the other day. He told me F350s get an extra 4 or 5 mpg after they install the Bully Dog Pup programmer on their...- Doc

No power in the mornings
If I answered that question I'd being lying, because I just don't know. I got the truck second hand about 4 months ago. I guess I should take it in and get that checked.- Doc

No power in the mornings
For the past few weeks my truck has been running like a dog in the mornings. If I don't let it warm up for 10 minutes or more it barely wants to climb a 1% grade that's about 100 feet long. It won't shift and feels like there's no power. If I let the truck warm up for 15-20 minutes, it runs...- Doc

New Tech Bulletin?
A neighbor of mine with an '05 6.0L told me there is a TBS out on the 6.0 motor. Apparently, the dealer installs some type of gadget that makes the truck run an extra 30 seconds or so after you shut it off. Supposedly this is to help clean the injectors and keep build up from occuring. He's the...- Doc

Well, Big Red is gone
After 14 year of hard life Big Red finally died. Okay, not totally dead, but in bad enough shape I had to let it go. It died on me and the better half and I couldn't get it started again. So, I had it towed to a local diesel guy. The compression test was way less than stellar. Zero in #1 &...- Doc

Hey everybody Im NEW from GA
Welcome Jason, I too jumped in a couple of days ago. I drove a 94 F350 with a 7.3IDI turbo for well over 6 years. Great truck, just wasn't maintained too well before I got it. I must say, the step up to the 6.0 has been a pleasant one. Just the power difference is amazing.- Doc
