    Black coolant

    This looks like a good site but one HAS TO become a member to read into the threads. I normally look into (or lurk) a site before wanting to sign up for membership.

    Black coolant

    Make sure that you are not having issues with the fuel injectors sticking open. If there is a leak in the cooler it should smell the same as diesel exhaust not the fuel itself. I am not sure how to check this because I have only heard about the issues by reading up on it.

    Black coolant

    I thought that the coolant system is suppose to be 16 psi as per the coolant cap. I am new to this 6.0L diesel stuff too. But from what I have read so far the EGR cooler (there are two different types) is a major problem, thus making the EGR to fail (along with the diesel carbon). Can anyone...

    The link does not indicate that diesels will be needing smog test. 1) Required Smog Inspections The California DMV will mail you a registration renewal notice telling you whether you are required to get your vehicle smogged; it will also tell you if your vehicle requires a smog check at a...

    Black coolant

    Do you have more information on this? I recently purchased a diesel to get away from all that smog cr@p. I believe in a clean environment but not at the cost of having to smog my vehicle at some rip-off shop. I have seen portable monitor (trailers) that monitor for the gross polluters...

    Ruff idle on start up

    Ok, I am really a dope. The code is P2285= low pressure at the sensor. I am not sure if it is a fuel injector because the truck runs fine after warm up. A friend, of a friend told me it might be a bad sensor and that sensor tells the computer to surge to high idle. I hear that the sensor on...

    Ruff idle on start up

    Nope I meant to say P2258 Is says something about low fuel pressure at the sensor. When I start my truck it starts at a low ruff idle and then after about 45 sec. to a minute it increases idle speed and still runs ruff (loudly). I can kind of describe it as like when one would pull the...

    Ruff idle on start up

    I recently purchased a 2003 Superduty with a 6.0L diesel. I'm doing allot of research on what is needed to watch out for and what maintenance is required. I have a question pertaining to a ruff idle when cold start up. When I start the engine (cold) it starts normal and then chuggs and idles...

    6.0 changing fuel filters - any special instructions?

    Is it required to replace both fuel filters at the same time? In my case it's probably a good idea as I am getting a CEL (with P2285) indicating a low fuel pressure to injectors. The manual also indicates to check the sensor for a short or loose wires. Input???
