F350 6.0 update

Been a while,since I have been on so figured I would start a new thread. Some of the issues I was having have been corrected...New FICM was the biggest one so far. However now that it is colder down here in mississippi the truck is running rough again. Replace degas bottle a few months ago and also had to repair the plastic nipple from the radiator but still have a small leak from the threaded nipple I installed. Will be replacing the radiator next week when I get down and dirty..
Some things I have tried 1) I used REVX about six months ago and it worked pretty good.cleared my injector codes for about 5000 miles but a 2500 trip it started acting up again. No REVX available close and wanted to change oil so used HSS not quite the same good results so I have ordered 2 new injectors to replace 2 and 8 since they are the ones throwing codes now..(same as the ones before)..
I got the tire situation fixed finally and my friend gave me a 6" lift with dual shocks and installed that and man that is some work to do.. Has a sag in the back and is about 2" lower than the front so have to order some helper springs to, even it, up,although it does look pretty cool dropped in the back some but towing does not look that good...I had to tow a 2003 f250 diesel last week and it's sat it down pretty good but It pulled it just fine
I am getting ready for another 2500 mile trip up north so along with changing the injectors I am doing EGR delete and new Oil cooler..just installed a new 4wd module and have lights again at start up for 4wd but as soon as I flip the switch I'm blowing the fuse..Replaced the 4wd actuator motor a few months ago so will be pulling that tomorrow to see if the motor is shorts and blowing my fuse or I have something else to find...oh the things you do to keep your ride going...bonus its paid for so the longer it runs the better I will be so right now sitting at 255000 miles and still rolling... Right now it's all stock but next week will get some upgrades...
