#704 of 759 Re: low turbo pressure [dennis66] by dennis66 Sep 23, 2009 (3:51 am)
Replying to: dennis66 (Sep 21, 2009 3:42 am) took the truck to ford dealer. found two exhaust ports leeking and a (donut gasket leaking) the bolts on the manifolds really look in bad shape and probalbe will break when trying to remove the manifolds. am also going to replace the oil pan since is it complete rust now. ask if there is any other preventative maintenance that i should do while we have the engine out. perhaps considering replacing rear seal while engine is out and flywheel off. dealer gave me 2500 estimate to do the work. any other suggestions.

Ok, I just bought a used 2004 F-350 Super Duty Diesel..Nothing but problems since I got it..It has been in the shop more than the road! Now, the EGR Coolant Tube has been replaced, it is still at the shop because it won't start..Any ideas?

#707 of 759 f350 psd jerks by shannynfh Sep 24, 2009 (6:20 pm)
my truck started jerking as it goes down the road several months ago. it happened occasionally and with no regularity. finally it happened enough that the check engine light came on (has to jerk 3 times for this to happen). they hooked it up and read the codes. there was some sort of exhaust code and voltage code. that all got fixed. drove it to work and then on the way home it happened again. it jerked 3 times, the light came on and then it happened several more times. i got the mechanic in the truck with me and drove down the road. of COURSE it didn't happen again, but he plugged it in and a code for my cam sensor came on. we replaced it. it continued to happen. my tires were quite mismatched on the rear, so i bought 4 new tires for the back yesterday. today...... it jerked again and even died at the stop light. this jerk- sometimes it's hard, sometimes not. it happens at all speeds. i've spent over $300 at the mechanic and then over $500 on new tires. any ideas???

Replying to: levij (Aug 21, 2009 12:21 pm) I'm sorry to read about your truck. My husband and I are looking for a fire answer too. Tonight our truck had the block warmer catch fire after only 20-30 mintues of being plugged in. The wires going into it burnt in two, thank goodness the lights in the house responded to the shorting or we would have been too late. And it was only about 7 feet from my daughter's bedroom window with two full tanks! Does anyone know if electrical fires are common for this truck? Ours is a 1995 I don't know if that matters, but any info will help before it's too late.
#710 of 759 1995 Powerstroke 7.3L Oil leak by tsuzan41 Sep 25, 2009 (9:42 pm)
I have been reading other oil leak post and none seem to have the same problem as I do. Maybe someone knows somewhere to try and track mine down to. It is on the top of the engine, it puddles on top of the block. It seems to be coming from the front and flowing back. the turbo has be completely taken apart and checked, no leaks. where else could it be coming from? Anyone that has any suggestions, thank you!

#711 of 759 oil by mrpee Sep 26, 2009 (2:07 pm)
I have a 2001 f250 with 60,000 miles and today it lost all of its oil, it appears that it is coming from the back of the oil pan but it is also pooling in the valley between the heads. Any one have any ideas? Replies to this message: dennis66 (Sep 26, 2009 3:07 pm)
#712 of 759 Re: oil [mrpee] by dennis66 Sep 26, 2009 (3:07 pm)
Replying to: mrpee (Sep 26, 2009 2:07 pm) the ford of these years have a history of oil pans rusting to the point of leaking. not an easy job to replace. cannot speak for oil in valley. my dealer quoted 1400 to replace the oil pan. ia m having other work done also. if they pull the engine, check for exhaust leaks and other preventative work that be worth considering at this time.
#713 of 759 oil(mrpee) by shk516 Sep 26, 2009 (6:08 pm)
the other thing that might be is the O rings under the turbo charger,there is a pressure & a return to the turbo that when they leak will run oil down each side of the block behind the heads & in the valley between the heads on diesal models.
