    Recent 6.0 observations

    Actually the oil goes to the HPOP to around 3000psi . (3100 the valve opens) As the oil pressure pushes on the intensifier piston in the injector, the intensefier will start to open to allow fuel into the injector and the fuel pressured through the injector nozzle at 27000 psi, creating...

    1st Diesel

    The worst thing to do is baby a diesel, The harder the work the better luck you'll have. Babied diesel's are just a trip to the mechanic waiting to happen. (eventually) Load'em up and give it some pedal.

    Surging idle and rough running

    I have a refrigeration screw compressor on my boat, it is controlled by voltage input dependent on load. It will always change up an down trying to maintain the precise output parameter. Theses trucks do pretty much the same. But......... their was a concern about loping idle/idle romp, which...

    Surging idle and rough running

    I'm not saying this is your problem, but something to give thought to. This truck fires the injectors via a HP oil pump which then sends and electrical signal to the solenoid in the injector itself. Due to the fact that there are so many sensors and as pressures and temps change in the engine...

    Oil gauge You "can use the oil test port" , have fun doing it, on an 03 you have dismantle the EGR cooler to get at it, then you have to get a sending unit in there. Best way is to take off intake hose to turbo. Then take out the EOT sensor behind the Oil filter housing, "T" into it, have your...

    Is this Gelled Fuel??? Help!!!!

    Are u sure it gelled up, can't do it while the engine is running becuase there is a heater it the filter housing and also the return fuel warms up and circulates back to tank. Must still have a summer blend #2. Last winter I had the stanadyne additive in my truck, the day I went to start it...

    '05 F-350 burned to the ground!!!

    At least you don't have to get the engine reflashed. Replace a fuel filter lately.? That turbo runs some hot. Spilled fuel would be nasty. Battery short. ie starter jammed, can drain battery so fast that the wires melt and catch fire FACTORY F...UP Either way that sucks, sorry to...

    Massive Boost

    Check this out. I was driving my truck the other day, up a small grade. I was doing the speed limit......40 mph the engine laboured down then down shifted one gear as I was light on the throttle. Then I decide to floor it up the rest of the hill. Well no sooner had I stepped on the...

    Foglamps

    Get a set of PIAA fog lights, they are probably cheaper than over the counter stock ones(ford). Wiring harness I have no idea. Buy a haynes manual. I would think the wiring for lights will be the same as gas engines.. I don't know just a guess.

    Truck is going to the doctor...........

    For Sale, :p All the engine problems are fixable. I think most are sluggish under 1800 from a stand still. That sucks for your balljoints/wandering.......not on warranty? The exhaust smell from the vents is most likely caused by a cracked Y pipe and is/was a common problem on the 03's...

    Growth in fuel

    I would drop the tank and clean it, all that algacide does is drop dead stuff to the bottom of your tank and your filter. The stuff doubles itself every 20 minutes. Check out www.dieselcraft.com as well. I have one on my boat, because we had fuel issues. It works we took a pre sample and...

    Walmart carries Mobil 1 as do others but no Delvac1300, and our Truck stops leave a lot to be desired, like air, and other parts. Someone carries it I suppose, I'll keep looking. thanks
