Hi, I have a 2004 F350 6.0 Power Stroke Diesel. Scenario: In May 06 i noticed antifreeze leaking in front of the truck so i took it to the dealer they replaced the hose. In June 06 smelled coolant leaking again and didn't notice any on the ground and the dealer replaced the clamp and hose. In July 06 I continued to have this problem and took it back to the dealer and they replaced the coolant bottle cap after it continued to leak. In Aug & Sept 06 it was leaking again, they ran their inspections and now they are telling me i need a new fan clutch. I've spent time and money dealing with these folks and was wondering if anyone else was having this issue. Thanks, BYoung |

| I have a 99 powerstroke with 275,000 miles on it, just recently, Diesel fuel started leaking from a small tube on the front right side of the engine. Sometime it won't leak for days, then it might leak about a half pint out while it is sitting and idling, I don't think it leaks when I am driving it because my mileage has not changed. | |

While in the mountains for Thanksgiving my 2004 6.0 started leaking fuel early in the mornings when I started up and let it run to warm up at idle. The leak ia a fast drip coming from the engine but without removing stuff to see better I can't see where it's coming from. The leak stops after a short warm up drive. If this means anything the air temp was in the low 20s and altitude was 7000'. I have 30K miles, been in the same environment several times and never had any problems before this. Any one have any ideas? Thanks, Kenny

I have a 2000 F350 Super Duty 7.3L. I live in alaska, just came back from being away for a little while and cannot get the truck to start. I had it turning over fro a little while, but then i noticed some smoke and the smell of electrical coming from the passenger side of the engine. I checked it out and couldnt find anything, then tonight while i was trying to get it started it wont even turn over now, justs clicks when i tturn over the ignition. I have checked the batteries and they are both charged. Does anyone have any answers or suggestions for me on this.

He shut the engine off and the dealer couldn't get it started 'till this morning. Same problem and they've had four trucks in the last month, all with about 30K miles with bad pumps.

| Recently, after having several injectors, injector module and accelerator module replaced I noticed a tapping noise. I was told that this is a lifter tap. What solutions are available. Can the lifter be adjusted or does it have to replaced. What $ figure can I expect? | |
