Pressure check your radiator when the engine is cold.Should hold 16 pounds for at least 15 or 20 minutes if not you could have a bad head gasket or cracked head

I have been having to add water every few weeks for the last six months. I had just filled it yesterday, probably overfull, and it began smoking when I restarted it about an hour later. How do I know if the water leak is the heads? What else can I do?
Thanks for your help, Nick.

6.0 L Powerstroke problems

I have a 2007 Ford 650 with a powerstoke 6.0L engine. I have it in the shop every 6 weeks or so for a problem. To make it worse, the closest shop that can work on this truck is 150 miles away. The major problem seems to be the EGR valve. It goes bad causing antifreeze to come out the exhaust and smoke white. This morning I started the truck, left it to idle about 3 minutes. When I came back out of the house to leave, I heard it shut off as I walked across the yard. I got in, shut the key off, and tried to start it again. The wait to start light came on for 2 seconds (it usually runs at least 10 seconds even when it's already been running) and then it went out and the truck would not even turn over. I have contacted a dealership to find out if there is a specific fuse of if I'm stuck towing this truck (under warranty) back to the dealership at my expense (never was reimbursed for prior tows they promised to pay for). To say the least, I am disappointed. As soon as this truck goes out of warranty in 8 months, I will sell it for a loss (looks like about $20K in loss) and buy a GMC topkick to replace it. Did anyone ever bring that class action lawsuit? Because I am on board.

P.S. This truck only has around 40000 miles and has been to the shop about 6 times costing me several days of work and thousands of dollars in lost revenue in my small business.

Replying to your post about the6.0. My husband is dealing with a Ford Mistake as well. We have a 2003 6.0 powerstroke turbo diesel and at 75000 miles the engine blew. We are now trying to put a new engine in it. This truck has been a mistake since the day we bought it. I have tried several lawyers, and no one wants any part of it. It seems like nobody wants to take on Ford, even when Ford is to blame. Sorry about your situation.

I have an 04 F350 Diesel and I hade problems with mine and white smoke. It turned out to be the seals in the turbo. It took the dealer along time and a bit of nagging on my end to get it fixed. Once they replaced the seals on the turbo no more problems. This occured at about 50,000 miles or so. It's been running well ever since. I hope that this may help you out. Good luck

I have a 2004 6.0 that just past 100,000 miles. I just had my second EGR cooler replaced this past weekend. The first one was replaced by Ford under warranty at about 72,000 miles. The mechanic said using a programmer probably damaged the new one. It causes the exhaust gases that flow throught the cooler to be much hotter, he said, which causes the coolant part of the cooler to expand and leak. He just put a new EGR cooler in but he capped off the exhaust gas ports. He said I should never have this problem again. The first time it went bad it blew black smoke. This last time it blew white smoke and lost a large amount of coolant. The engine may not be starting because of vapor locking. Mine almost did but I got it started and made it to the shop. My truck seems fine now. I hope this helps.
