My brother has an 05 Excursion with the 6.0 diesel and it had developed a very bad miss.

After haveing a Ford tech put the truck on a computer he was told that the #2 injector was bad as well as the fuel injection module. A new module and injector, $950.00 later the truck still misses badly and in my opinion way down on power.

Unfortunately, this is his first diesel so he has no other truck's to compair this one to. I on the other hand have owned several so I took his truck for a spin. It has an obvious miss, sputters and while going through the gears (automatic) fades in out with power and after the torque converter locks up it viberates the entire truck. He said he had the fuel filter changed about 3k ago.

Any thought's would be appreciated. You guy's have helped me alot over the past few years, I thought I would see if we can help figure this one out.

Thank's.

Jeff

Sound like you may need more then one injector. What dealer are you going to? I'm trying to remember if there was a dealer in mountain city or not. I went to Boone NC and the dealer there was pretty good. He has changed the oil right and put the right oil in? Just asking.

You say he changed the fuel filters did he use Ford filters because off the wall brands will screw up the injectors (wix-napa-carquest-so on) like already said right oil and Ford filter
