    Input needed for new studs and head gasket replacement

    I have a 2005 Ford Excursion with a 6.0. It has 125,000 miles. I've owned it since 12,000 miles. It has a stock upgraded turbo, updated turbo oil feed line, EGR ******, 4" turbo back exhaust, blue fuel spring upgrade, upgraded alternator and wiring, upgraded FICM with 50hp PHP tune, coolant...

    MAJOR HELP needed. Transfer case issues

    Also worth noting whenever the 4x4 light is blinking & when it is acting up every so often (no real pattern to it) like every 6 or 7 times you start the truck the transmission doesn't shift correctly. It normally shifts 1,2,3,4,4 TC lock, 5 TC lock. When it acts up it shifts 1,3, 4 and when it...

    MAJOR HELP needed. Transfer case issues

    They claim they've done that already. They fix it and it works for a few months and starts doing the same thing. Might be a coincidence but this all seemed to start after they took the whole dash out twice to replace the blend door motors. All this fancy stuff is nice when it works but is a pain...

    MAJOR HELP needed. Transfer case issues

    This is what I have right now. The first time it went in it had a P1865 code. They put a shift motor and a GEM module in it. I don't have the codes yet for the last time, but they put in the smart junction box. I'm sure they weren't working on it for a month just had it that long.

    MAJOR HELP needed. Transfer case issues

    I don't have the codes, but know the tech and could try and get the ones from the last time. Pain in the ass is an understatement. Been in the shop 4 times for the same thing and they have had it about a month every time. And it always seems to act up in the winter time when I actually need 4wd...

    MAJOR HELP needed. Transfer case issues

    Well I guess crossing my fingers didn't work. Truck is doing the same thing again. They thought it was the smart junction box last time and replaced it. Does anyone know if running LED bulbs could be affecting the smart junction box (if that's what's causing the issue again). I have LED bulbs...

    6.0 FICM repair help

    I did upgrade the alternator & wiring along with the FICM. I've had some other unforeseen projects come up so, I don't have any of it installed yet. Hopefully this weekend.

    2005 6.0 Puking After Pulling

    Hopefully for you it's something simple like the cap. Also hopefully you wouldn't just sell or trade it off to someone without telling them about the issue.

    2005 6.0 Puking After Pulling

    ^^ WHS ^^ As long as it's done properly including checking the heads for cracks and flatness shouldn't be an issue.

    2005 6.0 Puking After Pulling

    I'll start off by saying by no means is this the proper way to fix it. It may not even work on a Ford or in your situation. My dads 01 Duramax when it started puking coolant we pulled the thermostat and drilled a small hole in it (around 1/8) and it quit puking. His truck had no coolant going in...

    5r110w ATF options / opinions

    Do you happen to know anyone running it in a 5R ? I'm all for something better as long as it doesn't cost a fortune. Everyone that has been commenting so far hasn't mentioned anything but Motorcraft or Valvoline. I wasn't trying to insult your intelligence. Just was stating what it said on their...

    5r110w ATF options / opinions

    Looked it up and it doesn't meet the Ford spec for the 5R or the 6R. For Mercon or Mercon V applications. That's right from the LE 1150 product sheet. May be working good for you but isn't the recommended spec for your trans.

    5r110w ATF options / opinions

    I wasn't calling anyone out. Just wanted to post what the actual owners manual states. I'm just frustrated at this point. ( Mercon, Mercon V, Mercon SP, Mercon LV Mercon V supersedes Mercon but don't use it in the tranfer case Mercon LV supersedes SP) WTF! If it weren't for the internet and...

    5r110w ATF options / opinions

    It's definitely the cheaper way to go to upgrade to the newer pan and filter. I get what you are saying by "not specified" it may not be for my truck but the 08 - 10 used the same trans with that pan and filter. If I upgrade to either setup I was planning on still running the TP filter anyway...

    5r110w ATF options / opinions

    Here's the page right out of the owners manual. Read for yourself. Just states Mercon. Then they don't make just Mercon anymore and you can't use the SP, LV or V so what can I use without buying their $10 per quart "transfer case fluid"? What about the power steering? This is ridiculous...

    MAJOR HELP needed. Transfer case issues

    Just thought I would give an update on this subject. Took it back to the dealer after driving it for a few months with the 4x4 light blinking and the 4x4 actuator unplugged (so it couldn't shift on it's own). It finally had some codes in it when I took it in this time (not sure what they were)...

    6.0 FICM repair help

    Most everyone you talk to said it's most likely the power side. I was initially going to buy the Dorman power board and hope this fixed it. After reading some of this, calling FICM repair and thinking it over I wasn't willing to gamble on spending over $100 not being guaranteed it would fix my...
