    2019 F350 Platinum doesn't like being wet

    I recently moved into a 2019 F350 Platinum after a rollover just before Christmas sent my 05 F350 to an early grave. Being the Platinum it's got all the whiz bangs such as BLIS, 360° cameras etc. I've noticed when driving in rain and/or wet conditions I have a couple of issues, one being that...

    05 throwing P2623 code

    I've only had this turd not quite 2 years now, but it's been good to me and I actually got to where I thought I could trust it... then it went full 6.0 on me :morons: Fueled up on Saturday, got maybe a mile down the road and the truck died like I had turned the key off. Got her off the road and...

    Oil question - lighter grade vs oil additive for cold start

    My truck is due for an oil change and I'm trying to decide what I want to do. Currently has 15w40 dino oil in it, it's been running fine but she isn't a DD, I don't have convenient power where I park the truck, and I don't always know when I'm going to need to drive it so plugging it in may or...

    Coolant loss after radiator swap

    History - shortly after buying my truck back in February I pulled it apart to replace the oil cooler, install studs and a few other little things. I followed the Dieseltech Ron flush method, pulling both block plugs and backflushing through the heater core hose. At that time the degas bottle...

    Bought it, opened the bag then realized my truck had been updated by a previous owner and I couldn't return it. Everything is there in new condition, $50 plus the ride.

    VGT Solenoid Connector

    I broke one of the locking tabs off the VGT connector this weekend, looking to change over from the style with the 2 plastic tabs to the wire bail style connector. Does anyone know if you can or how to remove the wires from the connector so that I can just replace the connector itself and not...

    Tuners using HP Tuner?

    I picked up an Edge Insight Pro #86100 for a bargain, and I'm now realizing that only tuners that use HP Tuner software can write tunes for it but most use the PHP software. Any recommendations on tuners who can write tunes for this, or should I just re-sell it and recoup my cost?

    1997 F350 CCLB 4x4 7.3/5 speed

    I'm in the wrong part of the world for most of the users here, but figured it was worth a shot. Looking to sell my 97 F350, It has a 9/97 build date so it's likely to be one of the last ones ever to roll off the line. Good clean truck, just decided it was time for something different. Tons...

    Pensacola diesel any good?

    I know back about 5-6 years ago or so they had a pretty bad rap in the 7.3 market for selling poor quality injectors and parts, came across an FICM power board from them on eBay that they say has a lifetime warranty, but a lifetime warranty isn't worth much to me if the part fails every 3-6...

    Bed plate oil leaks

    I had my new to me 05 into the dealer for an open recall earlier this week, and they did a courtesty inspection of the truck and said it has "multiple oil leaks, appears to be the bed plate." Is this a common issue on these or is there a possible problem elsewhere? I'm not sure if maybe they...

    4407 T-case rebuild

    Anyone ever attempted this? Wondering if it's worth splitting the case to replace a few things or just buy a used one. My front output shaft bearing has some play in it that I believe is causing some vibration while driving.

    Cold start issue I can't put my finger on

    Hoping someone has a bright idea that hasn't crossed my mind yet. 97 F350, stock turbo, stage 1's, Tyrant tunes, new GPR, GP's ohm test OK. It's been struggling to cold start for a while now, even in the warmer months. Of course as it got colder, the issue got worse. I noticed battery...

    E-fuel lines

    After way too long of a wait I'm finally going to be able to finish collecting parts for my S366 and e-fuel swap. Is there any compelling reason to replace the fuel feed lines on the engine or can I just cut the stock lines off of the banjo fitting and use an adapter to go from those to my Y...

    96 7.3L motor, long block or in parts

    Motor was pulled from a 96 F350, had 280K miles when a small engine bay fire totaled the truck out. Right now the motor is a complete long block- no injectors, turbo, HPOP, oil cooler or front accessories. I bought it for mocking up my fuel system but I'm tired of it taking up space in the...

    Rumbling at 60mph

    Running around in the truck this weekend I noticed a rumbling that was most prevalent at 60mph. It's barely noticeable but it is there, nothing like a bad u-joint does. I replaced the clutch about 1k miles ago and at that time all the u-joints were fine. Front wheel bearings have been...

    Clutch replacement

    Stock DMF finally gave up on life and I need to get it swapped out ASAP. I have a Valair kevlar/ceramic waiting to go in. Are there any tips or tricks to make the install go easier? Someone said I can just slide the trans back- will it move back far enough to get the job done or do I have to...

    Hard starting/smokes until warm

    For a while now when I start my truck while cold it smokes white/bluish smoke pretty heavily, and the smoke makes your eyes burn like crazy. It will even smoke while going down the road until the temps come up, then it goes away. In addition to that, lately it has been reluctant to start when...

    Oil cooler rebuild/swap

    Set out to swap oil coolers on my pickup this weekend. My truck apparently has a 95 long block in it, which has the oil cooler header with the staked in bypass valve that is famous for falling out. I bought a used oil cooler from another member that came from a T444e and while the bolt...

    Power steering pump issue

    What would cause the pump to blow all the fluid out the cap? I've tried 2 different pumps now, I haven't seen any kinks/bends in the hoses nor collapsed hoses. First pump let go so I figured it was bad, swapped it out with a good spare and drove ~200 miles before it started doing the same thing.
