Do you have a Scan Gauge or something similar to keep an eye on things? Week batteries or alternators can cause FICMs to crap out and low voltage from the FICM can cause injectors to crap out. Then you have the hpo side of the injector that can cause run ability issues.I

I would suggest taking you truck to RC auto specialist going forward. They specialize in Powerstrokes and are honest and fair priced!! If you ever want to tackle a job yourself, give me a shout.

Do you have a coolant filter, and flush on a regular basis?

I do not have a scan gauge, or a coolent filter. I did just put an egr deleate on it, I have not had it down far enough to put head studs or cometic head gaskets either. I do only fill the coolent with distiller water not tap water. My uncle has exelent luck with some one rebuilding the ficm and they incresed voltage but i dont remember the name. That why i kept my old part. I may be tackling some jobs my self if I get some time. I trust my truck this is the first time its ever left me on the road but i plan on trying to make it more reliable if i can. Time is still the issue I haven't even had my race car out this year.
