Please Stop Safely

Well I got my welcome to the Ford world after leaving my chevrolet. My '12 6.7 stranded me with the above message.

After doing some reading I think its one of the four pesky EGT sensors. Had it towed to PSE since I've heard good things from friends and this site. Hopefully its an easy fix because I love this truck.

Just hoping it doesnt get stolen in that shady hood where the shop is located

its a bummer on day 7 of ownership but I have faith the truck will last me a long time. its maintenance but just unexpected. all the more reason to delete and tune :evil

WHY NOT · Jul 27, 2014

Yup, tuning and deleting will make it run better and be more reliable

Emery19 · Jul 27, 2014

65,xxx

is right on, I've put 500 on it so far

guess its a good time to not have to worry about sensors anymore.. im 1500 miles from the 36k mile warranty so all the electronic issues, if any arise, are on me!

Keep extra sensors in your tool box or glove box I hade mine go out on my company truck before. And stole them off my exhaust from my truck that's deleted to get back on the road.

Also if you let the truck cool down it will fire up and you can drive down the road just fine. But Dorian will take care of you. That's who I use for my truck great guy.

Thought emissions related was 50,000?

didnt know it was separate. I thought it was 36k, 60k, and 100k for warranty.

He's telling me to keep extra egt sensors around

Dorian at PSE called me at 645 last night and had my truck ready. Met him in person and he's a great guy. My experience with PSE was pleasant and price seems more than fair. I'm happy I know a good shop for my truck that's close, honest, and experienced. I would recommend to anyone. Good work guys.

My truck is back at work getting dirtier by the day
