    Turbo ?????

    Degas Bottle You cant just shim the bottle. The tech. that has my truck now explained it to me like this. When the head gaskets go in these trucks it builds compression in the cooling system and it expands the degas bottle and blows it up like a balloon. If you keep driving the truck for any...

    Turbo ?????

    Surging and bucking and black smoke. Looked back on my service records and they replaced the wiring pigtail to the IRP sensor and that fixed the problem. I think it is the harness that is right up by the cow of the truck and there was a screw that was through the cow to hold a bracket or...

    Turbo ?????

    Loud whistle The loud whistle that you are hearing is coming from the antifreeze over flow bottle. Beleive me when I tell you this.

    EGR valve and Anti-Freeze

    Does any one have a cut away where this is mounted on the motor and can show me where it is and what happened when this failed and where the coolant went and what it could of damaged in the motor. Ford tells me that it did not damage anything in the motor. Of course they would tell you that...
