    Ford admits the 6.0 sucks..................

    up until last year I drove tow trucks full time for a good sized company. During that time I towed so many 6.0 Fords I couldnt count them. Crank Position Sensor was a big culprit, injector circuit problem allowing fuel to bleed into the cylinder and then into the crankcase while not running...

    Is this snake oil?

    I've been looking at it too. So nobody's tried it? Sounds too good to be true.

    Who else has a dually?

    Sweet, always loved that body style. In fact I've been watching a beautiful black crew dually 4x4 rusting away in the grass for some time. They finally put it up for sale, so I stopped to look at it, but it's really too rusty now. People don't understand that grass makes oxygen, which when...

    95 7.3 dies when hot

    oil temp sender was actually bad, showed 235 degrees when cold, but replacing it didnt change anything. Finally they replaced something called the ICP, which fixed the problem. I forgot what ICP stands for except it has something to do with Intake, possibly pressure. They asked a guy who works...

    95 7.3 dies when hot

    I think the CPS was the first thing changed. We see that all the time on the Internationals. I'm starting to think its a bad wire to the ECM, something that has some corrosion in it and after the current runs thru it for a while it heats up and expands breaking the connection. It lit a code for...

    95 7.3 dies when hot

    Got a 95 F350 in the shop with 220k on it, has a recurring problem when it warms up it shuts off. It isn't overheating, ECM scan doesnt seem to solve anything. ECM changed, oil temp sensor, just about every sender on it changed, to no avail. Just heard it has been at another shop a few times for...

    Buddy says need more power

    By the way, when I bought the truck I was getting 11 mpg. I am now up over 14, and I'm not complaining!

    Buddy says need more power

    If it's a 97 as stated, then doing the 97 cooling mods wouldnt be necessary. I have the same truck, I pull an 11,000 pound travel trailer through the White Mountains (dinky little East Coast stuff). The only thing that slows me down is the real long hills, but I can still come over the top at...

    International Cxt

    when they first hit they were supposed to be base priced at $80k, $93k nicely outfitted with chrome stacks, rims, etc. Now the demand is so high the salesmen are setting their own prices. I heard about one that stickered at $93 going for $102 at Barrett Jackson. $120 is just plain crazy!

    International Cxt

    the CXT I looked at at the local Internatinal dealer is a 7600 chassis. Not exactly what I would call medium duty. I don't understand why they didnt build it on the 4300 or 4400 chassis. The 7600 is so massive you could never ever utilize its potential, being limited to an 8 foot bed for cargo...

    What do you haul?

    one time I hauled two 4x8 sheets of pressure treated lattice home from Home Cheapo. Thank God for those dual rear wheels.

    body lift?

    I'm considering a 3 inch body lift on my 97 K3500 extended cab dually. I have found all the lift manufacturers list the application for that year, followed by "except diesel" Rubberfish told me he did one, his being a standard, don't know if that makes much difference. Does anyone know why they...

    Larger tires on '03 Dually

    roland, how much room did you have left between them with the 255s? I'm thinking about doing this if I can squeeze them. I test fit a set of 265/75s, was a no go.

    International Cxt

    what I dont understand is why they built it on the 7600 chassis instead of the 4300 or 4400 chassis. And the 466 is just too small. Why not the 530power or something like that? or at least a souped up 466. If I were gonna pay all that money I'd want some go-fast too. I am thinking more and more...

    How many of you guys

    hey, Talltimber, that is some set of wheels. what is that thing anyway? Do you go over the road with it? I'd hate to have to pay the tolls on that many axles! I go "up Maine" from time to time with a tractor trailer behind a ten wheel wrecker, and that just about breaks the bank. I thought I had...

    Help my buds D-max

    he's right, try buying a gallon of any liquid, you'll find that fuel is actually pretty cheap. A gallon of Pepto Bismol would be over $40 bucks! Beer, Jack Daniels, shampoo, anything. If you figure out the cost per gallon, I think youd be surprised. And most of the fuel is transported halfway...

    Gotta 6.5 in the family now

    sorry, I guess I took that the wrong way. I tend to get a little defensive when people come into the 6.5 area and try to run them down. I looked up the numbers once and they are pretty comparable stock-to-stock for 97. I'm going to go find a used 97 Ram 6 wheeler that I can take for a testdrive...

    Gotta 6.5 in the family now

    I love how all the Cummins guys have to take their little jabs at the 6.5s. Of course its a dog compared to a bombed Cummins, but compared to a stock Cummins it will run with it all day long. Every stock Cummins I've ever driven has been older than 98 and they were absolute friggin' bones. The...

    Spindrift, did you run your truck? curious as to what kind of times it could pull down, we have some of the same mods.

    reprogrammed ECM

    Bummer, I'm working the first two days, and the third I'm going to a swap meet. I'm dying to put a propane kit in. but moneys tight right now so its gonna have to wait. New baby this year, so the only toys I can buy are soft and fuzzy...

    reprogrammed ECM

    I can't find it now, but I seem to remember reading somewhere that the engine programming is not very effective on the factory heavy duty program, VIN code F, which is what I have. ECMs are too expensive.

    reprogrammed ECM

    Bob, I still set codes quite a bit, but it isnt overboosting, in fact I had the boost up pretty high on the trip and didnt set a code. I cant for the life of me figure out whats going on. It sounds crazy, but it almost always sets when I get on the highway heading east towards work. It never...
