    05 turbo in 03 truck

    I stand corrected. Listen to Matt at Cutting Edge Diesel. He's the man.

    05 turbo in 03 truck

    Should be the turbo, all the fasteners, and the newer pedestal. The VGT solenoid should plug in and all the CAC piping, up pipes, and exhaust pipe should be fine.

    Finally got a truck....

    What I meant here is that the 2015- newer trucks use the same style turbocharger as the 03-07, being that it's essentially a Powermax. I was tired and didn't feel like mentioning that the 08-10 had one VGT and one fixed geometry turbocharger that operated sequentially and that the 11-14 trucks...

    Finally got a truck....

    Variable geometry turbocharger. The turbochargers on the 03-07 6.0 use a set of vanes in the exhaust side of the turbocharger to change the effective aspect ratio, meaning that they provide optimum boost at lower rpm and have less lag than a comparable fixed geometry turbocharger. The 2015-...

    6.0L SOTF + Custom Tuning

    Any updates? I'm really interested in this whole setup. I have no software loaded onto my truck yet and would rather wait for this.

    Truck driving horrible. Need opinion.

    http://www.hotrod.com/how-to/chassis-suspension/ctrp-1204-determining-wheel-alignment-string-your-car/ I believe this is the method TyCorr is talking about. My dad always did cars like this after doing suspension work to them. Its how i aligned my truck after the suspension lift.

    Buying a 6.4

    I'll second what Sootie and others have said. My last service truck was a 08 F550 with the Six Four. It ate 4 engines and was headed towards its 5th at 218k. The first 4 went down about every 30k until 125k when we d-leeted it. I'm not wealthy enough to afford that kind of carnage. At $20k...

    6.0 white smoke

    I'd pull the valve and see if it's wet in the intake manifold.

    Radio issue

    That's what they did for my 2015 F-550. It was doing exactly the same thing and they replaced the head unit. Been fine ever since and that was over a year ago.

    electrical connectors

    The turn signal/ brake light/ running light socket is the same size. The reverse light socket you'll need is a dorman 85814 and some 921 bulbs.

    Regen/ DEF questions

    My 2015 F-550 does a regen every 3-500 miles and uses about a gallon of DEF every 1k miles. Been doing that since I got it on Halloween 2014 and it's got 47k miles now.

    If you've had a 6.4 crack pistons please read

    Yeah. My service truck was a 08 F-550 with the 6.4. It weighed in right at 19.5k all the time. Big service bed, crane, welder, tools, etc. it killed the 4 engines stock. Ford charged us nearly $20k each time it died, citing bogus claims about maintenance and so forth. I do love my 2015 F-550...

    17s are gone. Only have the 22s left. Need $600 picked up or $600 plus shipping costs.

    Cracked or burnt piston?

    I'm just wondering if the K16 was leaking into the crankcase and then it melted a hole in a piston and created the pan removal scenario. No idea, honestly. Just thinking out of the box.

    05 front end bumper issues. Help!!

    Mine fits that way and I've never had the bumper off and it appears to have never been off before, as the bolt heads have no tool marks on them. My 05 that I had previously fit that way as well.

    New tires for the 450

    We do rotate and balance every service at 7,500. We use hammer on weights because our trucks have steel wheels. Have no input on the balance beads. Some people love them , some people don't.

    If you've had a 6.4 crack pistons please read

    My last service truck was a 2008 F550 with the 6.4. 5 engines that all failed due to piston failures. No warranty from Ford on any of them, and we did complete engines every single time. Two fuel system replacements. We spent over $100k on the truck. The last time the fuel system went down, they...
