    Have a short somewhere, losing power to FSS

    Bought an 04 6.0 one ton from a guy and it had the same kinds of issues you are having. He took it back and forth to the Ford House for 2 years. They'd soak him, send him home then it would start up again. He tried to trade it, they offered him 5K for it. That pissed him off and he stuck it in...

    smoking knocking

    Mine blew white smoke when I blew a head gasket (at 225,000 miles). I pulled it over and let it cool all the way down.. got it home and managed to not do any damage to the heads. What does his temperature gauge read when this is happening? I did not blow white smoke when I lost injectors (which...

    Exhaust Question

    I retained the original cat. I put a cold air intake on it at the same time and with the new exhaust system; I accelerate more smoothly, it breathes noticeably easier, less back pressure, it shifts better, I have cooler EGT's, a little more HP and it's freaking CLEAN. If you have to have black...

    Exhaust Question

    I put a Banks Monster Exhaust on my 05 and I love it. Not noisy, loud or obnoxious and zero "drone" even when towing. I can't tell much of a difference between it and a stock exhaust for sound and it helped with fuel mileage. I put it on in 2005 and haven't have a lick of trouble. It replaced...

    I need some info.

    I get rocks in wheat fields all the time. It will scare the crap out of you when it squeals. Only once did I have to pull the wheel to get it out. Every other time it came out on it's own. Make sure you didn't get into any baling wire, barbed wire or anything like that.

    2004 6.0 Coolant Burning

    I just went through this. I replaced the oil cooler, egr cooler, egr valve (4th time) and the fan clutch at 215,000 miles; in September 2010. Drove it 16,000 miles and blew the head gasket yesterday. SHIT. Shopping a new pick-up as we speak. I have 231,000 miles on my engine. Brace yourself...

    Dome light stays on???

    I use graphite spray when this happens to me. (driver's rear door is my offender..can't even set my alarm) I was told that WD-40 and other "greasy" sprays attract dirt and compound your problem. I live in Texas where we Texas women don't even wear sticky lip-gloss.

    Thinking about an EGR delete. Opinions?

    Hello everyone. I'm thinking about an EGR delete for my pick-up. It has 182,000+ miles on it and the EGR valve causes nothing but trouble it seems. I'd really like to hear from anyone who has done it or techs who have an opinion...pro or con. Thanks y'all. Priscilla :dunno

    6.0 egr type problems

    " Ive seen a dirty egr valve do alot of weird things to these motors." Mine did this with a dirty (sooty) EGR valve. It used a ton of coolant and spit coolant out the top of the reservoir. I changed out the EGR valve (which was NOT wet), topped off the coolant and haven't had a lick of...

    lift kit

    It looks great Chris, I really like the way it sets up; level, not too high, not too low. Just right. With a definite lack of "kit" resources available for your truck, I think you did a fantastic job!

    Performance Exhaust

    I put a Banks Monster exhaust on mine and love the fact that it is NOT noisy. Throaty, not noisy. My husband runs some big wide open mess on his 05 1 Ton Cummins and you can't hear yourself think riding in it. I also installed a Banks EGT Gage to watch the temp and I since then, have never...

    What is your mileage?

    I used to have a 96 1 ton Powerstroke with 4.10 gears and got mileage only a little better than yours. I didn't need the 4.10 gears and I won't get another one. (In fact, I heard that Ford is working on a transmission for the 2010 or 2011 model with a higher highway gear somewhere around...

    Ford letter front end shake

    I got one too. Did you read the part where it says not to install a steering stabilizer bar to fix it? Well, I installed one when the pick up had 30K miles on it because of that shimmy. I thought it was because if the lift-kit, but the steering stabilizer bar (I put in a Skyjacker with 2...

    Black and white smoke

    I just replaced my 3rd EGR valve for problems similar to yours. Like you, I had almost no power and it wouldn't build boost until I really stood on it. It did this for two days and then on the third day at idle, my temperature chime sounded, I looked down at the dash, the temperature was in the...

    ac coming out of defroster

    "brakes work fine. Where is the main vac line?" I've had a line come off before, it was a vac line located on the blower side of the engine compartment, just above the blower at the top of the fire wall. In fact, I crazy glued mine back on which solved that immediate problem. But the...
