    Stolen truck, looking for replacement

    I am still driving my 2004 F-350 with 6.0 and auto. Love it. Maintenance is the key.

    What did you pay for your 6.7 diesel?

    A friend just bought a F-350 4X4 with all of the stuff, $62,000.

    I went to the U of A (Tucson) in the 60's and 70's and I know how you feel about the desert. I lived in SoCal for 15 years before moving up to NorCal (Bay Area). I retired and moved up to Ukiah. I love this area.

    You can find some very strange stuff, and people, in Ft Bragg. I live a few miles inland of Ft Bragg.

    Bad battery draw

    No don't take apart the GEM. Less than 1 amp is the computer and memory drawing power for sleeping (off). This is normal.

    Bad battery draw

    4 amps will kill your batteries until you find out what is pulling the current. The Glow Plug Controller might be doing it, or the stereo or??? Does it always pull 4 amps? More or Less?

    Bad battery draw

    4 amps is a good draw. Now you need to trace where that power is going. Is it the GPC pulling the power?

    Trouble starting

    FICM could be going bad. Scan your truck and tell us what codes come up. Mine did the hard state and then died. Your time might be short.

    6.0 issues

    You are right snicklas, the HPOP only makes oil pressure. It is the oil pressure that pressurizes the injectors, correct?

    6.0 issues

    That fuel pressure if from the tank to the HPOP (High Pressure Oil Pump). The HPOP ups the fuel pressure to something like 3000 (three thousand) PSI or more, to the injectors. It sounds like you are GTG if the truck runs good.

    Hello from Oregon

    The first truck I bought was a 1972 F-250 with a 4 Spd and power steering. No AC or power anything. I was shocked when I saw the Out-the-Door price of $4,040.00 and 46 years later they are going for $100,000!

    Truck surges on startup from cold, fine after running a few minutes

    Best of luck to you!

    Truck surges on startup from cold, fine after running a few minutes

    These engines are known to surge when cold starting. This is due to the oil, 15W 40 is what the factory puts in. I changed to 5W 40 and the surging went away. I have never heard of the alternator causing surging.

    Need wiring help

    You can use the wiring on the tow plug (4 wire or 7 wire) to get to the brake lights but these have blinkers tied into them. The third brake light in NOT in the tow wiring, as I recall.

    2015 6.7 ticking noise right side

    What are they telling you? Are you getting anything for your non-use of your truck? When do they think it will be put back together? I am stating nothing specific to the 6.7, just want to know more relevant information. :)

    :welcome to SDD! Does your headlight switch have a fog position? If so, you have everything. Just plug them in and they SHOULD work. :)
