    Extended cranking question

    Mine starting doing the same exact thing you describe, and it left me stranded on the highway a few months later. Dealer replaced the lift pump and it has been fine since.

    F-250 does the hipidy dipity??

    If you're talking about the steering wheel wobbling, there is a TSB out on that problem. It tells Ford to check tightness on all related HW and if that fails, to REPLACE THE STEERING WHEEL. I had all of those things done and it didn't fix it. I ended up installing a ProComp twin cylinder...

    6.0 L starting?

    I also found out that if it starts to take just a little longer than normal to start, it can be a good indication that your lift pump is beginning to lose pressure and you need to have it looked at.

    Teapot whistle, Now I've had it

    Hey strokepower, whats the color of your truck in the photo? And it's a KR? I got my KR in 05 and I dont remember them offering that shade of red. My 96 was in the medium toreador red with the gray lower accent. That was my most favorite color scheme ever. On the 08's Ford only offered the...

    Teapot whistle, Now I've had it

    Yeah, I could end up having just as many problems with the Dodge as I had with my 6.0. I hope not, but time will tell. I do like the new transmission that Dodge is putting behind the 6.7L this year. Its a 6 speed auto, based on a Mercedes design for medium duty trucks, built by Aisin. It...

    Teapot whistle, Now I've had it

    But, the 6.4 has totally new injection system, totally new turbo system, etc. I'll tell ya, it was one of the hardest decisions I ever made on a vehicle. I really believe in Ford (actually worked for Ford 30 years ago) and liked everything I saw about the new 08's, other than being afraid of...

    Teapot whistle, Now I've had it

    The 6.4 is totally new, the 6.7 is basically a 5.9 that they've increased the c.i. on and added the new emissions equipment to.

    Teapot whistle, Now I've had it

    Heres my sad story.....Bought my first PSD in 96(7.3,SC LWB,AT,4x4,XLT), loved it, ran great. Had it until 2000, put 156K miles on it, 1 minor tranny problem, nothing else. I bought my 2nd PSD in 2000 (7.3,CC LWB,AT,4x4, Lariat), loved it, ran great. Had it until 2004, put 212K miles on it...

    OK Guys... recommend for me please...

    Personally, I would suggest you buy the Banks Stinger kit. You get the 4" stainless steel exhaust & down pipe, and you get the six gun programmer. Be sure and spend the extra $60 and buy the speedloader. It gives you an extra 20 HP but more importantly it gives you a pyro and it will...

    6.0 Turbo Upgrade?

    So Bushpilot, I've read that quite a few people have disconnected their EGR valve, and you did too. Whats the benefits of doing that? And what are the downsides of doing it? Where is the EGR and how do I disconnect it?

    6.0 Turbo Upgrade?

    Agreed, thats why I was asking. I notice they talk about mid and upper range improvements, but not bottom end. The only turbo problem I've had so far (28K miles to date) was I would get the turbo flutter all the time when backing out of the throttle, even under light load. It started doing it...

    Slow to start

    If what you are describing is: Before, it would consistently crank for 2 seconds before starting and now it cranks for 3-4 seconds before starting, then yes, mine did the same thing and it can be indicative of a problem. There is now a PSB out on this exact symptom and it indicates you are...

    6.0 Turbo Upgrade?

    Has anyone heard about this turbo replacement/upgrade from ATS? It's supposed to be a complete kit to replace the stock VGT turbo. MSRP is supposed to be $2995. If it works as advertised, wonder if this could be a solution to all of the VGT related complaints? 2003 to 2006 Ford 6.0L Diesel...

    intercooler upgrade?

    I have an 05 KR 4x4 CC SWB. I have all of the Banks upgrades (exhaust system, six-gun, speed loader, etc). The truck ran fine but would de-fuel sometimes (Banks safety feature) if the EGT's got too high when pulling my 8K trailer over mountain passes. I added the Banks techni-cooler and saw...
