Engine problems

I have a 2004 ford f350 6.0 I'm over 2000.00 dollars and can not get it running right. It start when I service my truck oil change, fuel filters. Next day it was missing not bad a little. The 2nd day i notice it more. The 3rd day I started it and died. Got it start missing real bad and then dies. Got start it again ran good for about 5mintues starting missing and died. I had the ford dealer come out put the computer on it says start with the fuel pump. I did did nt fix the problem next was replace the egr valve. Nope did nt fix either. Then replace the fuel injection regulator and oil sensor. Still didnt fix it. Now so much starting i fried the starter. Any one got any ideas?

Are you running a motorcraft oil filter? Aftermarket filters of any type on a 6.0 cause many issues.

Got any gauges to monitor anything? Sounds like a HPOP problem to me Go to auto zone and get a scan gauge it's 160 bucks and a GOOD investment

The question still is a good question. What filters are they using.
The aftermarket ones have been known to let dirty oil past and
mess up the injectors just they way your seeing.
Come on over here and ask the guys the same questions and your
going to get some more help

Have a look at this thread to see how to identify the filter and caps
