    Over boost??

    Are you getting Turbo Farts before the overboost? I had a similar problem with Farts and overboost on a hard pull. Turned out the Turbo inner ring was gummed up and had to be cleaned. Ford used to replace the complete turbo but is now allowing the dealer to clean and in my case replace the inner...

    Electrical question

    I may need a bit more info on this one. I tried to pry the panel out but did not have any luck. I can get a blade under the bottom edge but the other 3 side have a lip that does not allow the blade in. If I have to how do I get the complete dash face off. I can get the lower left corner to...

    Electrical question

    2004 Excursion The parking aid system is not working. I think the problem is in the on/off switch. Question. Can the small panel holding the parking aid switch, 4 wheel switch, and the defrost switch be removed from the dash as a unit without pulling the dash?

    Locking the converter

    Ya at first glance that looked good. There seams to be some reason why they can't do it to a 5R1000 under forward load but can do it on decelleration against the exhaust brake. I suspect it would set a code as the computer looks at both input and output shaft speeds. That was the problem with...

    Locking the converter

    You had my hopes up but I called them and they can not do it on a 6.0 trans. Looks like there is some limiting factor in the trans/6.0 combination. If it is what I think, a code set when comparing input shat speed to tail shaft speed, I gad that problem with the BD Torq Lock system but...

    Locking the converter

    Tow Haul just seams to be completely wrong for towing. It keeps the trans from up shifting for a prolonged time and doesn't lock the converter until over 65 mph. In tow haul decelleration engine braking is the converter kept locked or just a unlocked trans down shift? I am looking for a way to...

    Have you tried it? I assume the sct is a scan tool and if so which one?

    Locking the converter

    I have asked this question before an had responses it could not be done but I will ask again I would like to be able to manually lock the converter in my 2004 diesel Excursion. The responses I got said it could not be done on the 04s. Let me amend my question. Can the 03 CPU be directly...

    Glow Plugs

    I don't have access to a OBD2 to read any codes so I was just looking for a means of testing things with a meter. I have located the 2 connectors I mentioned above and may be able to get to them without taking things off for access. This is a new problem as I don't remember this last year.

    Glow Plugs

    What is the prescribed method for testing the glow plug system? It looks like if I can get to connectors C1413 and C1414 I can test the output of the Glow Plug Relay and test the continuity of each glow plug but not sure I can get my hands in there. I ask this because each AM that it is...

    Front Seat Questiion

    My 2004 Excursion drivers seat is the most uncomfortable seat I have ever sat in. Has anyone found this to be a problem and found anyway to reconfigure the original Limited seat to be a bit more comfortable?

    Alternator Problem

    Got another alternator from the shop that installed the last one 2 months ago, Warranty. Took that alternator up to the truck yesterday and installed it and drove home. This am I started the truck and tested the output of the alternator. There was nothing at first until I tested the voltage...

    Fire Hazzard

    I had asked a question the other day as to why my 04 Excursion was eating up alternators so fast. In the box of the latest alternator was a copy of a TT#663 that speaks to the fact that 2003 6.0 diesels all the way to the F550 had a problem of LOOSE engine ground straps and the result of...

    Alternator Problem

    My 04 Excursion is chewing up alternators ever couple of months. They are 110 amp units. I know there are after market 140 and above alternators. My question is does anyone know where I can get one in North Jersey because my truck is down in Hamburg and I have to go after it Tuesday. The 2...

    Converter Lock UP

    This statement appears in a description of the Ford 5R110W transmission. While the statement does not state this is during Tow Haul Mode it is in the discussion of that mode. The torque converter clutch will lock up at a lower vehicle speed for a given accelerator pedal position to provide...

I have attempted to edit and upload a signature several times but it does not appear. I have been doing this through "Edit Signature". I do not see any Signature listed under the User...

    Coolant Questions

    OK I accept the fact that diesels want to run hotter than a gasser. I guess my question comes down to how fast should the temperature climb when pulling a hill. My truck went from 198 to 220 in less than 1 1/2 miles while pulling a hill with the AC off. Is this an indication of a dirty...

    Coolant Questions

    Last weekend while towing I noticed my coolant temperatures could reach 220 degrees before the clutch fan cut in. I was not impressed to see 220 and far less impressed to see the fan not cut in until 220. What temperatures are you seeing under load? Can I run a lower thermostat? Can I adjust...

    Converter locking question

    I have a 04 6.0 in my Excursion. I have heard some GM types say that the Allison converter is locked in tow/haul mode. One I question that and two I would like to know if there is a way to lock my converter manually. I have used the BD Torque Loc in the past but have heard that is not an...

    Digital Door Locks

    The digital door locks on my Ex. have started to work less frequently. For a while they worked 90% of the time now it is down to less than 50% of the time. Is there a way to clean the contacts within the key pad as I suspect that is where the problem is?

    Trouble Code Questions

    I just pulled the codes on my 6.0 after installing an Edge Evolution. I got the following codes in this order. 0299, 0404,0478, and 0603 The check engine light did not come on at any time so can I assume these are soft codes? I have read what I can on these codes but could use some help...

    Discussion between Edge Evaluation and Gauges

    I installed the Edge Evolution yesterday and would like some comparison numbers from those who also have the Evolution. I was surprised at the exhaust temperature. Just around town I am seeing exhaust temperatures from 500 to 700 degrees. These seam to be quite a bit higher than my what I...

    Discussion between Edge Evaluation and Gauges

    Other than the absent of the fuel pressure in the Edge why are you happier with the gauges? Accuracy, display, or looks.
