A cct is a test to see what what each cly is contributing to the load placed on the vehicle. Its a way to test injector performance and id issues. On Di diesels the pcm/ecu works the idm/ficm to compensate for weak cylinders. I can gprs into that further but not from this iphone. Oh and good morning.

If you are going to the Houston area Tech day, I know TD has one and I'm sure a few other do as well. I don't know of any local though.

I got a buddy in Bastrop, and he's working at Empire Diesel in Cedar Park now. He has AE and pretty good with it. Let me know if you need his contact info. And both he and I drive 6.0's as well.

And FYI go to a synthetic oil for your 6.0. I ran Rotella T-6 and now running Amsoil. Helps stiction issues on those damn injectors, and cold starts. The HPOP's on these damn 6.0's shear the oil down to a 30 wt. So don't run reg.dino oils. Atleast a synthetic blend.

I see you already had your FICM worked on too... I'm on my 2nd 6.0, first I traded in with 289k miles (2003), my 2005 just rolled 207k miles. Good powerplant if you take care of the little stuff with'em.
