06 F350 6.0 Wrench indicator?
Talked to Ford dealer shop rep. about why the wrench indicator light was coming on then after i turned off engine it wouldn't come again for 30 minutes or so. They say it could be a number of things and that i just needed to bring it in to them to check all the codes.
I am not seeing or noticeing anything out of the ordinary with the gauges, no smoke, power is good. Last trip there cost me $1500.
138,000 miles and hoping for many more, any help would be appreciated.

Gauges may help keep shop costs Down
especialy if they sell you parts you know you dont need
Go to an autopart store and get them to scan it free
See what they get for DTC But with the wrench light you may need a code rreader thats Ford enhanced
the autoparts store is def worth a shot though

The wrench light will come on to indicate an over-boost situation with the turbo, or to indicate a high delta between the oil temperature and coolant temperatures. Over-boost can blow the head-gaskets, and is caused by a sooted up unison ring that controls the variable vanes inside the exhaust housing of the turbo. High oil temperature is cause by a clogged oil cooler. There might be a couple of other causes for wrench light that I forget.

Thanks, my gauges haven't changed their readings any that i have noticed. I have been concern about having to do the EGR, oil cooler, etc upgrades. From what I have been reading its just a matter of time.

Your stock "gauges" of zero value at showing temp delta between coolant and oil temp.
If you are serious about wanting help, you need to get an odb2 gauge to monitor your engine.
There are 3-5 active threads with this same suggestion, just look at a few if you need more info on the scangauge2, it's like nearly everybody repeats the same info about where to buy it..
Maybe a sticky thread with the info vs. Having to repeat it in every 3rd thread?
Sorry if i am out of line, its late i guess...?

Okay, I will get better gauges for reading the ect and eot to find the delta and the boost psi. Scangauge II ?

Perhaps a thread on just this technology, which frankly I wish I'd known about or realized was around a couple years back would have been great. So there's no time like the present, how do we start such a thing???

Funney you mention this I have TONS & TONS of files in my PC that when whatever issue comes up I just COPY & PASTE to the thread
It took me awhile to get it all Organized its all broken down to Sub Systems but saves alot of time

So, many heartfelt thanks to all the frequent posters (and infrequent posters who have the right awnswer ), the Techs who work on these vehicles all day and then take time to get on here and keep us straight, and moderators who take the time to make FTE work!
