#1047 of 1181 Re: 2008 Ford 6.4 Diesel fuel MPG? [ford4me] by captu May 13, 2008 (2:13 am)
Replying to: ford4me (Feb 29, 2008 7:28 am) I have 6,000 miles on mind. Towing a 32' travel trailer I'm getting 8.6 miles per gal. and 16 to 16.9 on the road light. Not good. Ford is telling me sometime this month the Gov. will let them do something to the eng. to get better fuel milage. Replies to this message: aliret1 (Mar 25, 2009 3:47 pm)
#1048 of 1181 Speedometer/odometer by cacciato69 May 16, 2008 (3:40 pm)
HELP!! I have a 1995 F-250 4X4 ... the clutch went out and i had it replaced.   Shortly thereafter the speedo / odo stopped working. I cannot locate the sensor on the trany as is indicated in my manual? I have crawled all over under the truck looking for anything that looks like a sensor.   I ordered one it arrived, but I cannot locate anything that looks like it on the transmission, the rear differential   Where is it??? Is there one??? on this truck!?

Ok i am new to this site ... i did a search for speedometer AFTER posting .. as i read those posts it appears that the sensor IS the one on the rear differential and it feeds both the ABS and the Speedo. Since i have no problem with ABS indicator, I am left to believe that i have a fuse, wire or the Speedometer / Odometer in the dash failed by coincidence with the replacement of the clutch.   Any ideas where to start ... remove the dash?? yikes that doesn't sound fun.   Advice accepted ...

the fuse must have blown when the speed sensor went.   found the fuse in the cab 15a blown we'll see if that fixes it permanently.   on the other hand it could be the A/C clutch since A/C seems to have failed   thanks

#1053 of 1181 New F250 Owner by davegr1 May 30, 2008 (7:34 pm)
I just purchased a 2004 F250 SD 4x4 w/Deisel power. 41k in milage It has the 6.0, I cannot belive the power of the truck. I had a 250 w/ the 5.4 previous to this. Love this thing. Now my question, The previous owner had installed a K&N airfilter system, and 4 in exhaust, it exits right below the rear door. (super Cab). I looked at it, and it seems to be a striaght pipe from the turbo to the tip. Sounds good, but I was wondering if this okay for power or robbing me of power. Also the light with the water drops flickers and some times will stay on for a few miles. (fuel filter change?) okay last question for the newbie, what is the buzzing noise when I turn the truck off? it shuts off after 30 sec or so. Thanks .. By the way I plan to tow my 5 wheel, 8700lbs w/this truck. 8700k is the loaded wieght...

Replying to: davegr1 (May 30, 2008 7:34 pm) I also have the 2004 F250 diesel. As to your water in fuel gauge, there is a fuel filter under the driver's side inside the frame rail. Owners manual will explain how to drain a little fuel to see if you have water in it. Couple of other tips: don't let this engine idle very long when it is cold. This puts unburned fuel in the variable pitch on the turbo and will ruin it. Ford calls this "wet stacking". Also, don't let your turbo boost go past 25 lbs. or you will blow hoses. I put a boost guage on mine. Last but not least, don't put a chip on this engine or you take a chance on blowing your head gaskets. Ford has had a lot of problems with this engine, but most of them can be avoided by using a little common sense. I too tow an 8500 lb. trailer and love the way it tows.

Replying to: keroburner (May 31, 2008 10:33 am) Thanks for the info. I was thinking about the programmer, but I will refrain. I did a milage test today. drove 200 miles to waste deisel. Averaged 21.5 no load. Pretty good in my book. anyway, thanks again..   Dave..

Replying to: paintman (Jul 27, 2005 12:31 pm) I now have the same problem steering squeaking with my gas 2004 F- 250. Did you solve the problem? It sounds like metal on metal. From what i've read it's a common F-250 problem...   Anyone know of a solution to the noise??
