    Batteries

    Another option is finances are tight...... do you have an Interstate Battery shop or distributor in your area? When I needed batteries, I went to the Interstate Battery Store and picked up a set of "blems" for less than $75 for the pair. They are just plain black batteries with no markings or...

    Fuel Filter replacement..

    There is a water drain on the side of the HFCM on the passenger side of the unit, toward the front. It takes a 6mm allen (hex) wrench to remove the plug. What I do is remove the plug to start to drain the HFCM, then I loosen the lid on the secondary fuel filter. This allows the HFCM and the...

    2010 rims

    Dave, the bolt pattern changed in 99. 97 and older trucks have 8X6.5in and the 99+ SuperDutys are 8x170mm. So they may bolt on. The problem may be the offset of the rim. The older trucks run a deeper offset, and I think the 05+ run a very shallow offset (that is why the outside of the rim is...

    fuel filter removal question

    bears, First, I loosen the secondary filter lid on the engine. Then, I remove the water drain from the lower front of the HFCM. This will be a 6mm hex. About the only allen wrench that will fit is the classic L shaped allen wrench, use the short side and try to stay out of the fuel...

    Question Po603

    If you FICM voltage is dropping during startup, that needs to be repaired first. It can cause all kinds of problems. Mine completely quit (12V out) and I used ficmfixer.com to get mine repaired. Just over $100 and a week and the truck was back in service again.

    Question No Start Condition 05 F-250

    starduster. The FICM is your issue. With those voltages, your truck will NEVER start. That is what I just fixed on mine. Starts like a new truck. Get the FICM Repaired, and I bet your truck will start right up, mine did.

    engine shut down

    Do you hear the injector "buzz" when you turn the ignition to the run position during the WTS cycle. If not, your FICM may have failed. Take a look at this: http://www.superdutydiesel.com/forums/6-0l-powerstroke-engine-drivetrain/28990-ficm-repair.html I just got mine back yesterday. It...
