Can anyone shed some light on this issue? Will results of the inspection show up in the Oasis report as well as any required corrective actions? I am intending to trade my '11 on Wednesday and would like to know before hand....Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am helping a friend replace his 5.4L engine with a new long block. Seems fairly straight forward but I am in the planning stages right now and I thought I would draw on the experience here for any advice. Thanks in advance.

Ok this issue is well documented and there is an applicable TSB (11-7-10). Does anyone here have experience with this issue or it's resolution? I will say that I do not notice any consistent pattern of occurrence except for that it seems to occur the first or second shift after engine start...

Thought I'd repost this over here since it seems more appropriate....Ok, as indicated below I own a 2011 F-250, FX-4, 156" WB... I came across this TSB which addresses F-250 Rear Sag. The TSB directs the replacement of the drive shaft. I stopped by my local Ford dealer and verified that an...

Ok, as indicated below I own a 2011 F-250, FX-4, 156" WB... I came across this TSB which addresses F-250 Rear Sag. The TSB directs the replacement of the drive shaft. I stopped by my local Ford dealer and verified that an F-350, 4x4, 156" WB, 6.7L uses the same drive shaft. The TSB replaces...

I was wondering if Vince or Dave could run my VIN to see what is installed on my truck please?

Well having just returned from a 2500 mile trip with a total of 7400 miles on the truck I can say that I am very happy with the performance of the truck.On the trip I averaged 21 MPG. I have not hand calculated that yet although I expect it to be close. That was 4 people in the truck with...

So I have an 08 Mustang 4.6L. I am considering pulling the plugs this weekend since the car is going on 4 yrs old(production date 6/07. It has 22K miles but I think for the concern of the plugs getting stuck in an aluminum head the time is more relevant). I am pretty sure the manual does not...

What happens if you are a mile from your destination and the truck goes into active regen? Can you shut it down and resume when you leave do do you have to continue to drive until the regen is complete? Probably a dumb question but the manual really does not say explicitly and from what I read...

Traded my 07' on a 2011 F-250 CC, SRW, 4x4. All I can say is I was defenseless against the test drive.

I have my eye on two trucksThanks in advance!John

My filters plugged this morning. It had gotten down to about -26F last night. I have been using Power Service Diesel Fuel Supplement(White Bottle; 10 oz/23 Gal) which should be good down to -40 F to prevent fuel gelling and lowers CFFP by 36F(according to the website). The truck started fine...

Granted, if one allowed his fuel tank to go empty the truck would not run either, but it seems to me pretty lousy a bad sensor would leave you in idle only mode. I really don't know how much I like that idea..... Guess the emissions control trumps vehicle reliability.

Well recently I have noticed small amounts of white residue near the degas bottle cap(a single drop or drops of coolant that ran from the cap and dried).This morning I started the truck and did about a 20 mile round trip and pulled back in the driveway and popped the hood. There was a good...

Ok I am looking at the 0 to 60 times on the 6.7L and comparing them to this... http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/trucks/163_0409_2004_truck_comparisons/acceleration.htmlThe 2004 6.0L F-250 Harley Davidson got to 60 mph in 8.5 seconds. Acceleration has to be more of a function of what the...

It is well documented that a coolant filter is a great idea on the 6.0L, however, it would not seem to be a concern on the 6.4L. The material that is routinely found in the filter by myself as well as others appears to be sand. The two dominant theories on it's presence in the 6.0L are: (1)...

Just wondering what temperature range is normal for intake manifold temperature(IAT2, post charge air cooler). I typically see about 35 to 40 F higher than ambient (IAT, integral with the MAF sensor). This is of course after the engine is up to normal operating temperature. If I watch I can...

Does anyone know for sure(proof?) if the alternator has a delay time associated with engine start-up(either diode gate or relay). I read somewhere that the glow plug cycle was taken out of the battery on start-up due to the large current draw then the alternator was placed on line after the...

Does anybody know if the PCM issues a command to cycle the VGT on engine start-up?Thanks, JR

I purchased fuel filters from International back at the end of January and just got around to changing them today. The Primary fuel filter design has changed and the part # has been superseded and is now 1847170C94. I called International to ensure I had the correct filter and they confirmed...

Watching the videos on the new 6.7L PSD, and more specifically the one that contrasts the change in engine noise kind of got me thinking. I am aware that the 6.0L uses Hydraulic Electronic Unit Injection vs Piezo Electric injectors on the 6.4 and 6.7.1) Can somebody explain the differences...

Just a quick question.... Does anybody know if the support bracket issued to correct the STC fitting failure/separation was ever installed on production engines and if so what build date this applied to?Supposedly International has designed a one piece fitting that eliminates the need for the...

I am pretty sure the shop that sold me my new tires was just trying to sell more work but here it goes...What criteria would cause the shop to tell me that "I will need ball joints soon" (39,000 miles on the truck) and that "Fords are known for issues with their ball joints" and there "may be...

I was reading a post on this board and I read something that contradicted what I understood my warranty coverage to be. The way I read it from the dealer lot you get 3yr/36K bumper to bumper, 5yr/60K powertrain, and if you have a diesel 5yr/100K on the engine only. In other words if you put in...

After I got my truck back from the dealer I searched another forum for problems with rear brakes and found an entire thread listing problems similar to mine. Most were either newer trucks like mine or older Super Duty's that had calipers replaced several times over the lifespan of the truck...

http://www.bankspower.com/magazines/show/617-FORD-POWER-STROKE-6.0L-Part-1-What-Fails-and-WhyNothing earth shattering here but I thought it interesting that this one went down due to a rocker arm.?

Just completed a 1000 mile round trip to Ohio and back. Filled up getting on the turnpike and right after exiting back here in NY. 465.3 miles. Used 23.75 gallons for an average of 19.6 mpg. I managed to keep my speed between 65 and 72 and tried not to boost over 10 psig. The road is pretty...

Ok I was poking around under the truck today since I brought it in to have the tire rotated and chassis lube. I noticed a few things 1) amazingly few zirc fittings as a matter of fact I found only two on the u-joints for the front hubs and 2) there is a rubber seal that appears to be loose in...

The last two days I have driven my truck I get the distinct smell of burning brake pad/clutch. So after I get over the initial "that can't be my truck" I noticed that it was coming from the passenger rear wheel. I have an '07 and it has 34K on it. Do I own this problem or should it be covered?

I was considering stepping up to a crew cab in lieu of my '07 super cab. The truck has the 6.0 with 52K. The engine hr meter read something like 400 hrs which is about half of the time my truck has on it for the same year with 20,000 less miles(my truck has 32K and ~800 hrs which averages...
