    Question What did you do to your truck today?

    Replaced a dead vacuum pump on my '05. Last trip the vacuum went away, AC started coming out the defrost and hubs weren't locking in from the switch. After replacing the pump it would build vacuum but not shut off so would run continuously which would kill it again if left that way. Using my...

    Bilstein 5100 Series Shock Absorbers

    Just put a set on mine earlier this year. Seem to be doing great so far but I'm not sure I feel a lot of difference between them and my original stock Ranchos? Maybe just me. The differences are primarily the 5100 series are set up for lifted trucks and the 4600 for stock height, otherwise they...

    This is Gonna Hurt!

    I've been on the run for the last several weeks and just now getting ready to pull the turbo back off this weekend or next. I already have the high temp anti-seize ready to go. By the way, here's the pic of the EGR cooler.

    Yes, I watched several of his videos before tackling this project. They were very well done and made this much easier.

    Injectors, Oil Cooler, EGR Cooler. Need parts help fast.

    Barrett - just finished going through all that. My research indicated a strong opinion on the boards for sticking with the Ford reman injectors that I found for $222 each plus tax from a dealer in CA versus $264 each from my local dealer. Also went with the Bulletproof EGR cooler ($350) as the...

    This is Gonna Hurt!

    Was planning on an update soon so now is as good a time as any. I found a reputable non-dealer shop and paid for another eval before accepting the big $$$$ quote from the dealer. They checked it out and we're basically only concerned with the injectors that were causing the white smoke. First...

    This is Gonna Hurt!

    Saw those, was wondering what the diff was. Everything on hold for the moment. With this much money on the line I'm getting a second opinion this week from a non-dealer shop./

    This is Gonna Hurt!

    Thanks guys. Both good points. My plan is to check out a shop or two and tell them what I want done and with which brands of parts and then see if they can get me a reasonable labor + parts final price I can live with. If so, I'll let them do the whole thing so they maintain the overall...

    This is Gonna Hurt!

    Time for the inevitable deep-dive on my '05 6.0L. Thought this only happens to other people. :lmao Recently started billowing white smoke off and on. Figured it was the EGR cooler finally giving up or an injector leaking down. Turns out I have all sorts of classic 6.0 issues. First, I had two...

    6.0L OEM Reman Injectors - Best Source/Cost

    I have two bad injectors and am getting ready to replace all 8. Anyone know of a good source of quality stock OEM remans? Best pricing I have so far is $222 each through a dealer which is looking pretty good so far. Just thought I'd take a last look around to see if anything better. Thanks.

    Help Needed Tachometer?

    Possible it might be a stepper motor (meter movement). Not sure if the Superdutys use the same stepper but there is a group of passenger cars in that same time frame that have a well known issue with failing stepper motors in the clusters. I just replaced seven of them in my wife's '05 Mustang...

    SuperDuty Tow & Transport Pics (What Are You Pulling Out There)

    New tow toy from this last summer. About 10-11K fueled up. Tows great. About double the weight of the one it replaced.

    Question What did you do to your truck today?

    Last week I fixed my ESOF hub vacuum issue with a new PVH solenoid. Yesterday, I cleaned the EGR valve (some soot deposits but didn't look too bad), did the blue spring fuel regulator upgrade (feels like a little better throttle response from dead stop), checked my FICM voltage (hanging in there...

    '05 ESOF Vacuum Pulse Hublock testing

    Update - my replacement PVH arrived today (Dorman 600-402), install took about 10 minutes with half of that used to find the correct socket. Plugged everything in and hooked up the vacuum gage to the PVH output and switched from 4 x 2 to 4 x 4 and it worked! Took the gage off and connected the...

    '05 ESOF Vacuum Pulse Hublock testing

    Found a lot of good troubleshooting info in this link. Going to poke around some more and if no joy will probably end up going ahead and replacing the PVH as everything seems to be pointing to it. Following the logic it appears that a DTC code would be likely for a control module (GEM) issue...

    '05 ESOF Vacuum Pulse Hublock testing

    That's what I'm afraid of. Anybody know how to test the output of the GEM (inputs to the PVH)?

    '05 ESOF Vacuum Pulse Hublock testing

    Hi All, Been working on figuring out why my hubs are not locking in with the vacuum system. Tested the vac tube feeding the front hubs from where it leaves the PVH and it holds a vacuum fine and doesn't leak off so no vacuum line or hub seal issues. Also verified with a vac gauge that the pump...

    Oil leak behind engine....

    When I had my '99 7.3, it developed a really bad leak at one of the rear oil rail galley plugs and drained off the back of the engine. The o-ring had developed a break and leaked like crazy. Turned out to be something like a $7 part for the plug with new o-ring. Hard to see without a mirror or...
