Ive run the Ford Gold in my 6.4 for years and 200k miles without issue. I do refresh it every two years or so and do test strip checks. I dont open the block drains, just drain rad then refill w coolant/demin water mixed No issues, even though everyone bashes it. Sent from my SM-G960U using...

No, those temps were w Ford thermostats, which failed twice. Rubber coming of the valve. So i tried these low temps to combat the issue Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Replaced the front cover about 80k ago w the "improved"version...so prob not there again yet, no signs of water in the oil Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Not sure i understand your question, on the interstate, running about 73-75mph im seeing 230-238deg when air temp at 90+. This is a F450, w 4.88 gearing, so 73-75mph is in the 2700 rpm range. It will touch 240 at times, and this is unloaded. So i worry when pulling a 15k trailer i may push the...

Yep, ive replace the Ford ones once before, due to this code, but i went w the mishimoto low temp this time. ECT averages 170-180, of course its been cool out here so hard to say. Happens when accelerating from a stop most of the time. Very annoying. Went w the low temps due to spikes on the ECT...

Is there something else i can do to keep the pia 0128 code to quit coming on? New thermostats (mishimoto) and new temp sender...still does it. Coolant is fine, gotta be something else. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Ok thanks, cuda sworn i checked there. I will look again. The box is good, just leaks, its on the steering shaft end, not on the pitman end but i will pit new in each end Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Anyone kmow where i can get a rebuild kit for the steering gear box on a 2008 F450? It works fine, just leaks a d needs seals. I have had no luck finding anything Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Cool, let me know if you get a chance. Ive put a pressure gauge on there before on another 5r110 and its seems like it was some bastard metric adapter to get to the pressure hose fitting Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

You got a sender that fit into the pressure port? Tell me more. I tend to trust the Livewire but i never had issues w the previous trans, and the fluid is good and the filter has no trash. This trans was built for 600hp rating, im figuring w mods im making in the 400hp neighborhood. These...

[emoji106] Thanks Mark, I will work on that Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

No, my version of 5r110 doesnt have the inline filter. I checked the hoses where it transitions from metal to rubber into the radiator then back out to the cooler and the return. All seems ok. Its done this twice now, and im concerned w damage to a newly built trans. I remember the little sensor...

2008 F450, 4.88 gear, 4wd. Was running the interstate today, was doing approx. 75 mph, 2700 rpm, temp outside showed 92. My Livewire was showing 223 deg on trans temp but the factory gauge was to the left, good side of center. i have the alarm set at 220 deg so it was flashing red. Backed the...
