I never leave home without a spare solenoid in the tool box. When I buy them now, I buy them in pairs. I have had better luck with the motorcraft ones, but still nothing great. It's disappointing when I have such a great ignition system otherwise.

Anyone know what this might be? buddy just called me up to go check out his 2006 6.0L. He thinks its torque converter, i think its turbo related. The kind of humming/vacuum cleaner noise. i know you can hear it, i showed my dad and he said "huh"

That whining noise might be the planetaries in the transmission when it takes off in 1st like that, does it go away when it shifts to 2nd or 3rd

I dont think its an exhaust leak from the up pipes, especially because it just started yesterday morning. I think he was just hammering on it and somehow split a boot

Eyes are good Pete, Still get a bit dry toward the end of the day, and in the morning when I wake up, very happy overall though!

check for boost leaks, it sounds like the whine follows turbo rpm.
