I feel like I should comment on this seeing as I wrote all the diagnose content. Anywhere there is oil and heat, you will get stiction. The bearing inside the turbo is one of the places where you can get stiction. It is chemically identical to the stiction on the spool valve. We have had big rigs in the past with turbo performance codes that were cleared up by cleaning out the stiction inside the bearing. I used this general concept across our entire diagnose section. I plan on slowly making it better and better, making it a powerful diagnosis tool one day; but as it sits, it is a VERY general aid for those who are having basic problems. It is funny you mentioned "transmission stiction," because we are developing a product to help out with burnt oil (stiction) buildups inside the transmission

 

Speaking of snake oils. I am at the first oil change
interval point after adding the Archoil in mine.
Not sure if I will or will not be doing it again or not.

I do give it to you, you have the fastest draw on this forum. Never seen alike.

 

Sorry I missed you when you swung out, Eric! It's always great to meet folks that you know only from the forums. Just WAAAYYY too much going on, as always! Glad to know that you love the result!!

 

Yea I was looking forward in meeting you Ed. Did get to talk to Scott some. Ficm worked great. Thanks.

 

My favorite thing about buying the HSS, is that I had to provide ID. Not only did it make me feel good that I got carded, but it sort of makes One feel like they are on a watch list, or there's an FBI steak out watching you. "Uh...we got another 6.0 owner in the store....over". "Roger, we'll keep tabs on him and make sure he doesn't do a burn out in the lot on his way out." My buddy just looked at me all wild eyed and asked, "what the hell is in that stuff?" I told home Unicorn tears, and Pixie dust.

 

LOL...I developed a oil leak after my first Archoil treatment...I probably don't have much of the original oil from that oil change left. Fixed the leak tonight and will be putting Monster back together tomorrow.

 

I almost did, but money (and time) is an issue right now and I really didn't want to pull the intake this week.


If the new ICP fixes the oil leak and the start/running rough problem...then I'm good to go for now.


It should since once I had enough stuff off that I could see the base of the ICP I could see that there was oil coming out the bottom of it and the IPR was completely dry.


I guess I'll know for sure when I put it all back together tomorrow.

 

I get an email any time stiction or Hot Shot's is mentioned

 

Evolve to Jedi status, you will....know when the words are mentioned, you will also.

 

Passenger side power window motor giving up the ghost.... I have all aftermarket window actuators as my truck is an XL and came with cranks from the factory. Anybody ever done a power window conversion? Seems you can pick up the motor/actuator assembly from 1A auto for a good price.

 

I was having that stiction issue even with 5-40 valvoline...finally got my archoil monday and poured it in...with 30 miles no more problems. runs perfect, quiet and smooth

 

Scott is good people - I just gotta get him a 6.0!! I'm glad he was able to help you out!

 

Took the HD to KC and picked up my hunting rig I got. An 04 expedition 4x4 with 80k miles.

 

This was actually last weekend,
replaced all 4 still factory leaking shocks with Monroe Reflex units and replaced the steering stabilizer that improved drivability a lot. But with this V-10 block up front I am seriously thinking of getting the two shock bracket for each side put in, it will be a few moons till then and can't wait.
A few days before that I took apart the rear glass hatch lock system and cleaned it like a madman then lubricated it and my power lock (for only the hatch so far) now works great without any issues. Now to find time to take apart the door panels and work on them too.
