    Question Hyway feel through steering wheel

    I agree with everything YODA has said. I've been driving a F350 since 2011 after 30 years of driving GM. I love my Ford, but have gotten use to the fact that the steering is exactly as you have said. I've had to deal with the death wobble and have had the front end - drag linkage, ball joints...

    Towing Capacity Question

    The way they publish these numbers is frustrating, however the GCWR is what matters as has already been stated. Traveling with a load beyond that rating is at your own risk for an accident, incident or if in certain parts of Canada - a fine. I have a friend who has been pulled over with his...

    2012 6.7 delete

    I have a 2011 and used the Live Wire tune. I have about 4 different setting choices and love it. Big increase in HP and mileage.

    2012 transmission

    I have a 2011 with 376,000 km (233,000 miles) on it and it's good but not great. I'm told I have some valve body issues showing up in some slopping shifting between 3rd and 4th when running empty. Works great under load, so I have to think it is related to pressure.

    Question .

    Mine is a basic delete, but came with a controller mounted on the dash. Otherwise the tail pipes should be black it the delete has been done. My pipes never turned black until then.

    Question Mysterious Coolant Leak

    I had a similar situation with my 2011 just off warranty. I took it to a rad shop rather then the dealer and they located it quickly and I had to change the rad. It was a slow seam leak and they indicated it had been a weakness of the rads used at the time. I've put 250K on with the new rad and...

    Towing capacity from newbie

    I agree with ChiefofStuff. The sales info is not the complete story. Here in Canada, we are governed by the GCWR, which with my 2011 F350 SRW is 23500#. My truck weighs 8500#, leaving trailer weight limited to 15000#.

    OBD codes

    Not sure what year your truck is, but my 2011 at around 280,000 KM gave me the same errors and unless I was pulling regularly, my regen became more and more frequent. My mechanic advised I could do the repairs that would clear the codes, but that my filter was gradually failing and I would need...

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    Turned out to be warped. When placing a strait edge across the manifold, the warp showed as almost 1/8". Replaced and running good again.

    How long did it take you to do the valve body work?

    Transmission hesitation between 3rd & 4th

    Did it ever get to where it would throw a code?

    Removing EGR System & DEF

    I have a 2011 and did the delete @ about 300KM. Used the SCT Live Wire TS tuner as well. I park in a garage and although I grew up with diesel on the farm, I don't enjoy the smell in my garage. Other than that, I would never look back. Very happy with the performance, both power and improved...

    Transmission hesitation between 3rd & 4th

    I appreciate hearing about this and your solution. My tranny has just started showing the same shift problem, especially under soft acceleration. My mechanic first thought valve body as well and indicated the part is around $1K. I have 325KM on the truck and the tranny oil and filter haven't...

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    Wondering if anyone has had warped exhaust manifold and what the symptoms were in identifying it? I have 325KM on a 2011 and get a whistle when accelerating. I had something similar a couple of years back and found a couple of broken manifold bolts, corrected them and changed what was a...

    Question 2019 F350 DRW too high?

    I tow the predecessor to the Alpine - a 32' Everest. The truck is a 2011 F350 with 20" wheels and sits a little high. We have between 5 and 6" clearance from trailer to the truck box and are very close to level. I could likely adjust the pinbox to drop it an inch, but prefer to keep the...

    Death Wobble!!!!

    I don't have the mechanical expertise to comment on your question, but can only speak to what they told me and the fact that it worked. I now have 315k on it and it started at 40k.

    Death Wobble!!!!

    I have a 2011 that has had the same problem. Ford kept trying to repair it but it kept coming back. I took it to a shop that specializes in axles, springs and front ends. They confirmed that my castor was set wrong from the factory once corrected, my problem has virtually gone away. They...

    Code P206A

    Thanks for your response. I'm considering doing the same, only an upgraded tuner to provide an engine brake. If you don't mind, how did your performance change? Power, mileage etc. Did you install a 4" pipe? Did it end up quite loud?

    Code P206A

    Starting to get this code on a regular basis. I reset and it's back in about 100km. Truck seems to run fine and is still doing the regen fine. I have 310K km on it and my mechanic, who I believe is very good, is suggesting a possible def pump and tank cleaning, although feels that at this level...

    Would you be able to explain what you did? I don't understand how what you did solved the radiator leaking problem.
