https://www.maxtow.com/blue-maxtow-triple-gauge-package-for-1999-2007-ford-super-duty-power-stroke/ I checked a few things out. Has anyone used these gauges and mount?

Awesome post, Bismic! I will do some guided reading on those options. Thanks!

Can a tuner be used to stop the flow of recycled, combustion-dirtied air through the turbo on a stock truck? I am hearing that the egr failure is a symptom of a failing oil cooler. Without the egr cooler, the oil cooler could fail unnoticed, causing far greater damage to the engine if not...

I do plan on keeping it for at least a couple more years. If it ever gets to the sell it in the front yard condition, the ****** wouldn't be an issue. Just not sure I should spend money up front that needs to be taken back off and the full bill paid later to make it stock. Its a bit of a crap...

concerns me a bit to ******, as dealership says they won't accept trade-ins with egr ******.

We have a winner. Egr is bad, and the soot/oil residue is being liquified by the coolant and burning on the way out. I pull a flatbed full of round bales, and a cattle trailer more than I drive it. Would like to fix it better than stock. Have to replace egr and should do oil cooler. Going...

Engine oil level is constant, but coolant level is now going down.

I am confused by how this thing is progressing. The truck has turned to blowing white exhaust in quantity, then back to blue, then no smoke at all. Took it to the tech, and it was blowing white if you let off the accelerator. By the time we were done, it had stopped smoking again. Thinking...

Thanks, 03PSD. Would you think that requires me to find a way to remove the residue, or will it take care of itself after a couple of hundred miles? Considered purchasing a catalytic converter test pipe in case it was plugged up with some old ash and oil.

It seems like it smokes most when decelerating slightly. I have been revving my shift points up a bit, hoping it was some residual oil from turbo etc. It does clean up after you are above 1800 rpm, but lets the smoke roll as you back off at desired speed. It does smoke at idle, start up, and...

No. It ran rough at start before the FICM. I would have to say it hasn't ever run better.

Drove the truck last night. Going to my destination, it smoked rather heavily. I would say the smoke is getting whiter. We had some icing while at my meeting. I started it up, and let it warm up for about 15 minutes. The ride home was more blue, with not as much smoke. I don't know. This...

I checked fluid levels again this morning, and they all look the same. The Degas cap was holding pressure again, but I think that may be from running the block heater and the expansion of heated coolant? I plugged it several hours after I shut it down for the day.

Additionally, the truck runs great! Shows boost on stock gauge of nearly 30psi. It doesn't appear to be using any fluids. When I checked the coolant level in the degas tank, the cap was holding pressure. It hadn't been run for 12 hours. Hope you have some thoughts. Prefer to have a clue...

Hello all. Newby with first post. 2006 F350xl Srw, 4x4, manual transmission. Have had a few problems. Truck started running rough. Changed motor oil and added Rev x. Truck now blows blue smoke. Took to dealership, and committed 2 hours of diagnosis money. FICM was bad, and was replaced...
