Blue-ish white smoke when at operating temp
When mine did it I could see it dripping off of the V-band clamp. Mine was a GTP38R that was only a few months old...- fastersteve

Blue-ish white smoke when at operating temp
Have you checked the downpipe coming off the turbo for oil? Mine did that when the turbo started pushing oil out of the turbine seal.- fastersteve

Irregular idle revving up and down VIDEO & Update!
How are the batteries? Every time I've seen crazy codes like that, one of them has died. These trucks are very sensitive to low voltage.- fastersteve

450 performance issues
I had a similar issue, turned out the hose nipple on the MAP sensor was cracked. I only found it when I did a pressure test looking for boost leaks. Good luck!- fastersteve

Brake hose help needed
Take the old hose to a hydraulic hose shop. Many, if not most, can make another one for you.- fastersteve

Stumped again
Is it the original pcm? Maybe you are having a PATS issue...the chip could override the PATS, pulling it would engage the PATS.- fastersteve

Bizarre throttle issue
I haven't run the new pcm without the chip, but when I pulled the chip out of the old pcm it continued to act up, so I'm inclined to think it's not the chip. Could a failing IPR do this? My understanding was that they either work or they don't. I'm open to reasoned suggestions.- fastersteve

Bizarre throttle issue
So I just replaced the PCM with a reman from Full Force Diesel. Yes, this would be #4. I'd love it if someone could point me in any direction as to a cause. It runs much better now, but still does the rpm spike once or twice when cold. Maybe I need to buy some sage and smudge it...- fastersteve

Need a new trans, looking for recommendations
Ford was still showing them when I last looked. IDK if they still are or not, I was assuming. The HD reman didn't last as long as the stocker with a tugger kit, the stock trans even lived through big oil that the HD never saw. I'm leaning towards the Warren, just need to pull the trigger. I...- fastersteve

Need a new trans, looking for recommendations
My 01 Ex has killed the Ford HD4r100 reman I installed several years ago. I'm not going to wait months for a BTS or drive 1500 miles to get it. It looks like John Woods has retired, Dieselsite only sells parts now not built units. Is there anything worthwhile available, or do I need to just...- fastersteve

Bizarre throttle issue
It kinda' did, but worked to make me fix it so no worries lol. Busy packing to move cross country and kept blowing it off. I will try that before installing the pedal. Maybe the connection is oxidized? I HATE driving it without the chip, sooo sluggish. I agree on the PCMs but nothing else...- fastersteve

Bizarre throttle issue
Or maybe for some reason he suddenly wasn't allowed to reply. Have you considered that? Now that that's fixed It's not the TC unlocking, it does it in idle in park, at speed, completely randomly. 2 different CPS - no change different IDM - no change I had considered the throttle pedal, should...- fastersteve

Bizarre throttle issue
My 01 Ex in my signature has been doing this for a while and I'm stumped. Completely ramdomly and intermittently the motor will lunge, as if the throttle was floored. It's very short in duration, never more than a few seconds. If I'm driving it doesn't downshift but literally jumps 1000 rpm...- fastersteve
