#1161 of 1181 Re: 2003 Ford F250 Super Duty 6.0L BLOWN UP [carriebratton] by rocko8 Sep 06, 2009 (2:39 pm)
Replying to: carriebratton (Jun 01, 2009 7:16 pm) hi   i had the same thing happen to my 04 f250 6.0 i had a EGR cooler delete installed. this is such a common problem that there is a delete kit for the EGR cooler/valve. i think the cooler is leaking water into the injectors and that is causing the white smoke(steam) i would not replace the cooler but instead i would have a delete kit put in. it is about the same price but all your troubles will be over as far as the EGR system.
#1162 of 1181 Bad injectors by lavetajulie Oct 01, 2009 (11:54 am)
Got some bad news today. I've got a bad injector! And, of course, that means I need to replace all the injectors on that side. There's only 125,000 miles on this truck, and I have towed with it only twice. Last year, I put approx. $3800 into for an ERG cooler. What's going on? After having paid upwards of $40,000 for this vehicle, and babying it, I would have thought I wouldn't have to put this much money into it so soon. Seems like it should barebly be broken in! Any suggestions Replies to this message: rocko8 (Oct 01, 2009 10:17 pm)

I am new to the diesel world and I am looking at buying a 2002 F250 Lariat 4x4 7.3L with 280k miles for $9500. It is clean outside an has little repair on the leather. Can anyone tell me what to watch out for? Replies to this message: rocko8 (Oct 07, 2009 10:57 am) cowcutter (Oct 09, 2009 3:04 pm) BroncoBCC (Oct 09, 2009 3:12 pm) carpathia (Oct 25, 2009 6:32 pm)

Replying to: f_truck_dude (Oct 07, 2009 9:06 am) Well i hear that the 7.3 is a great motor but i would be worried about the high miles. i know people that have that same truck but not quiet that many miles. it may go another 100k miles...who knows? i heard that the worst thing ford did was change the motor sizes. Good luck. Stay away from the 6.0...trust me. Replies to this message: cowcutter (Oct 09, 2009 3:04 pm) BroncoBCC (Oct 09, 2009 3:12 pm)

Replying to: cowcutter (Oct 09, 2009 3:04 pm) We have a 2002 F250 with the 6.8L V10 and it is awesome, Never misses a beat 85K miles. We also have a Chevy Trailblazer (2002) and the entire dash went whacky. Chevy said that the problem started on 2003 models and they were offering to repair for a huge discount. Since I had an 02, they said Sorry, we cant help.

Replying to: cowcutter (Oct 09, 2009 3:01 pm) i had a 2004 F250 6.0, the EGR cooler was leaking. Bolton ford told me to bring it to them. It had 88,000 miles on it. They said it was still under the 100,000 mile warrenty. I drove it to them and they said it will be ready in 3 days. On the second day of them having it they called me and told me that it was not under warrenty due to the over 5 years old(barely). Itseemed like they would have told me that when i was on the phone with them. I had it in a local shop when i called them. Anyway that put me back another week. The point here is there has been alot of problems with the F250 6.0 EGR systems. Ford should do a recall on them. I had to bring it back to the local mechanic where he fixed it for 2800.00 along with changing the high pressure oil pump which i still don't know how it went out while not being driven. Ford has lost a customer for life along with Bolton ford of lake charles louisiana. I am now the proud owner of a 2007 GMC 4WD duramax...for life. i love it!!
#1170 of 1181 F-250 diesel, 1997, 4X4, towing/stopping by rotttlady Oct 20, 2009 (6:51 am)
Hi, I need some help ASAP... I have a 1997 F-250 diesel with the 7.3 liter engine, the "better" axle ratio (can't remember exactly what the ratio is), long bed, extended cab, 4X4. I am looking at a 4-horse gooseneck trailer with living quarters, need to know exactly how much weight my truck can haul -- but just as important, how much weight can my truck STOP reliably, without being scary or unsafe. The trailer is a good buy, so I need to know ASAP or it will be sold to someone else... Thanks a lot.
