    OBD codes

    At this point I'll check the EGR an probably replace it. Then I'll look into replacing the reductant heater. Any suggestions, tips, or advice is always welcome! (most pertinent info. on my truck is contained at the bottom of each post)

    OBD codes

    Hello, Two codes appeared on my truck about a week ago. P0401 and P20BA I also get a warning message on the DIC, 'Low Exhaust Fluid' range 705mi. I filled the tank with DEF and did a visual on the wiring coming from the DEF tank. Should I just clear the codes and see if they reset or should...

    Windsheild Wiper ON = Engine Shutdown

    Being an electrician for 35yrs. My first thought would be a bad relay. I believe there is one that will shut off the wiper motor upon crank. Test; >Turn ign. sw. to 'on' >turn on wipers >Start > wipers should stop while motors starts. My logic would indicate that by turning on the wipers your...

    My first thought would be air in the fuel line. Was system purged? Are there any signs of air left?

    2019 6.7L Diesel additives?

    I personally don't do additives, others might have a different opinion. I've heard users of Stanadyne swear by it. So more power to you! You should see no ill effects with use.

    Turbo, when did it change?

    You should be good. I think they changed the bearings for the 2013 model year.

    Transmission input shaft "failure"

    First thing I would do is check your warranty guide. in there you will also find who to contact. (embellishment required; lay it on thick) Next, take it to a qualified trans tech for complete diagnostics. Between these two you should be able to work out a compromise. Cost should be between $2.5K...

    Anti freeze

    The 6.7's, 2011 and up, Do Not use standard anti-freeze. Instead they use a hi-tech coolant that has additives such as lubricants and anti-oxidizers. Test strips are available to maintain proper ratios of each component. While you can do whatever you want, you do take a chance of ruining your block!

    Exhaust cleaning

    Yeah, Not normally do I get feed back. But I think this time, with the 'orange' lettered warning message in the DIC being on for almost a half hour, it switched to the 'blue' lettered completion message. Lasted about 4 sec.

    Exhaust cleaning

    Success! After a 6 min. warm up I got the 'cleaning' message. At that point I drove 29min. @ 70mph until the blue message came on telling me my exhaust system has been cleaned

    Exhaust cleaning

    Thanks! I'll take it for a long drive today. See what happens. Normally, I don't have too much time for long drives, except when we do a weekend trip with the 5'vr

    Exhaust cleaning

    Does anyone know the criteria for the system to work properly ? I keep on getting the messages; "Drive to clean exhaust (OK)" and then "Cleaning Exhaust system (OK)" I cant seem to shake 'em ?????? 1) Temperature range? 2) Time running or distance traveled? 3) RPM and/or speed? Thank You

    Question re Ford's Towing Selector

    It's a little hard to explain, But I'll take a stab at it. I've been towing RV's for over 20yrs. and this is what I found out, You need to weigh everything at a public scale! GCWR = Max TV rate., + vehicle weight + payload cap. Tow rating; If it is rated to tow 20,000lb. max., that's it! your...

    Upfitter switches

    Keep in mind that they are fused separately! Each switch has it's own amperage value ! If memory serves, there is a 20a,(2) 15a, and a 10a. Do an internet search for upfitter switch wiring diagram

    04 Ford F250 6.0 Getting code P0603

    Things you should know; EGR deletes are illegal to install on US vehicles unless specifically used for Off-Road use only. (Now that you have your 'Off-Road' only vehicle) Most EGR deletes will set the check engine light and code on the Ford 6.0L. An EGR delete will stop the flow of exhaust...

    Fuel Capacity?

    I do a manual fuel consumption calculation every now and then, just to keep the computer chip honest. That being said, the 'rule of thumb' (so to speak) has always been that there is 2 - 3 less useable gallons in any tank. Then factor in the chip will have a buffer of 4 gallons built in when it...

    "Tunes"

    Yes! I think it is a Fed. mandate for major metro. areas. I do know they will not let you renew your plates w/o passing smog test. They just started with diesel's a few years ago. I Thought there might be something like that in a law. Thanks!

    "Tunes"

    I would do that if I didn't have to pass an emission test in Illinois
