rotated the tires and vacuumed the carpet. then drove it. Nothing else to do. It runs great!!

 

Loaded it up with ladders. Taking it for a little 190 mile jaunt in a few. Will be blowing by Yahiko yet again! Sorry Sean, another trip for Mom. Needs Her trim painted before the rains hit. And they start on Wednesday!!!

Might give you a call later this week on the return trip.

 

I spoke too soon above. Had to clean the Egr valve today. Lost power and started smoking. Hooked up the IDS and it displayed an EGR valve Position error. pulled the EGR valve and cleaned it. 5 minutes and 2 O-rings later its back to being awesome again. Seems like I just cleaned that 3 years ago. Also, Its the only maintenance the truck has actually needed in 4 years. the rest I have done for prevention only. I still love this truck. You just cant beat the way a Ford holds up. Also its been paid for since 2010!!!

 

What tires are you running in that pic?

As for what I did today, I continued work on my ported intake manifold. I would post a pic but am not sure how.

 

Toyo M/T 35 x 12.5 x 18

2004 Ford F-350 6.0L CC LB King Ranch<br/>Duraflap

 

Yeah, I forgot to add that I love the duraflaps behind the tires! Do you have any problems with the 35s rubbing the leaf springs when the steering wheel is fully turned?

 

Finally got my fuel pressure problem fixed...

 

No. I don't have any problems at all. I just don't turn that far! LOL










There are times it does get to me. Like going through drive-in windows, getting the trailer into a tight camp site, very crowded parking spots (with the CC, long bed, some of those are tough anyway!)

 

AND What was the problem???

Inquiring Minds Want To Know.

combination... dieing fuel pump (old one rattled when i pulled it outta the HFCM).. bad regulator sleeve...



one i pulled outta the upper fuel filter housing is on the right... how it should look is on the left... it got a little squished or melted or something and deformed...

 

Yes it does look a but squished. Did you have someone from the
US Postal Service install it? They seem to try to squish all my Ebay stuff.

My trucks been acting really weird when cold recently, when i get on the highway and the converter locks when i get to speed, it starts bucking/jolting...you can feel the truck jolt then back to normal then jolt every other second. power seems fine...no codes, fuel pressure is good...when i maintain a constant speed is seems ok but its after the converter locks until i accelerate to my cruising speed.

 

Classic sign of injector stiction...

Josh

 

yeah? i literally just switched back to 5-40 too...lol, ran perfect on that 15-40. it starts/runs fine in the cold though..still stiction?
