ok lets see if this post works on the 3rd try... 05' having multiple problems:
truck is faltering when 1/4 tank or less shown on gauge and or digital idiot mileage readout says 60 miles to empty. Stalled out in a crosslight with "50" miles to empty and supposedly 1/8 tank left and one more time. Had the truck since day one and had never ran out as the thing will stumble and sputter a bit when it is REAL low.... "cold" start problems: past 3 weeks hard turn over thing is coughing and sputtering for 5-10 seconds when it finally starts, this is usually if it has been sitting over night and the winter temps here are mild (18-38). So I change both fuel filters, go back to Royal Purple, wash/clean my Air raid intake filter and run some Diesel 911 and some injector cleaner thru a couple of tanks and not much improvement. Thinking maybe glow plugs or injectors as they have never been changed (188k) . Had new oil pump installed 50k ago and had the oil/egr cooler/head gasket ream job done @ Ford @ 156$$$$$$$. note when turning ignition on before starting it sounds like it is taking about 10 seconds for the fuel pump under drivers seat to stop pumping?? So there is no error codes on the Edge tuner and I am below avg. wrenching skills and not making any real money anymore to keep runnin it in (read residential construction) . Everyone knows the 6.0 is a cold dog but never had this on my 03 or my 05 to this extent.. any help. oh while I was online (45 min.) i left keys in ignition in on position and dead bats. Both were replaced 18 mo. with new Motorcraft. and I checked the charging 1 week ago it was reading 13.8 volts. time to wait for wife to get home from work to jump it yeah!!
