    Question 6.0 whistle/whine with white smoke at startup

    The other thing about forums, is that you tell the complete store. "I got codes X0001 & X00013". All codes mean something and maybe a clue to what is going on with your truck, so tell us all of the codes you get.

    Bearing question

    Bearing ware is no more a problem with the 6.0 than any other engine. Head gasket failure was the number 1 problem and I see you are going to be doing head studs. This should NOT be a problem after the head studs. I have not chipped my truck and it is running great, for a stocker. I have...

    Fire near Our town of Ukiah, CA

    No, the fire(s) are at least ten miles or more. Winds are blowing smoke away from Ukiah. So of this afternoon, the fire has not consumed any more acreage and is almost under control. My info is from our local newspaper and the Sheriff's office on FaceBook.

    Fire near Our town of Ukiah, CA

    Sunday afternoon about 2;30 pm I saw smoke in the skys north of us. It turns out that a car had caught fire along the Willits Grade, north of Ukiah about 10 miles. The car quickly set the dry grass on fire and it quickly escalated to 900 acres by dark last night. I know there are at least 15...

    Barometric pressure. It reads your altitude and adjusts the fuel to keep it optimum.

    Question injector change no start

    You have to have good batteries to get enough current to spin the engine over at a good rate or it will not start. Make sure you have good batteries that are fully charged and then try it again. I am not sure how many rpms you need to get it to fire. My 6.0 needs 500 rpms to start. :dunno

    Correct tire pressure

    Run what the tire manufacture recommends for your weight 110 psi cold. Going up in elevation does not change the tire pressure. If you are overloaded, it is up to you.

    Question Black Smoke Under hard Acceleration

    You need to get it scanned to solve your black smoke issue. Everything else would be guessing. YOU can get a scanner at a local Auto Parts Store. Make sure it can read CAN codes and you are good to go.

    Question Stuck in 4x4

    My guess would be the solenoid. But I am not there...

    Question Stuck in 4x4

    Well, my next guess would be the electric transfer case motor.

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

    What year of truck do you have? Add this to your signature so we won't have to ask.

    Question Stuck in 4x4

    There is a whole bunch of stuff that causes the 'no shift' problems. The transfer case is shifted by a motor that is actuated by the solenoid. I have never owned a SOTF transfer case. I like MANUAL hubs and transfer cases, and this is why. You had better find a 4 X 4 mechanic to help you...
