Help
I recently brought my 2005 F-350 in to the dealer because of the "no start when hot" problem . I think everybody knows the out come on here...EGR valve...dummy plugs..AND hpop pump....a nice $2500 + bill .
I have also been getting a "check trans.temp." alarm . Not all the time . I get it at start up sometimes and also when coming to a stop . I have felt the oil temp in and out of the cooler with my hand and it does not seem bad . I've washed the cooler off with a water hose...not dirty . I've had my transmission fluid and filter changed....by ford...and it has not changed . I was thinking it's just a bogus idiot light , but after this huge bill I'm scared to bring it in to them .
Any ideas on what it could be and what I can do ? I don't want to burn up my tranny......

No they didn't replace the stand pipes...they said that would be expensive...as if the bill wasn't already high enough....and I don't have anyway of reading that temp....no gauges...truck is stock...got 100,000 miles on it.

69jc....I looked it up in the tech folder....pictures and all...what a great site ! Simple job....going to start doing that one when I get home. Thanks !
Hey Big Inch...the dealer ship started by doing my EGR valve . I had cleaned it awhile back , but they said they had a code that it was bad . Then they called and said it could be the dummy plugs...not to costly...or the pump...they said these either work or don't..or a really costy down pipes . Then they call and said they did the dummy plugs but it still had a problem...then they said only 2 things left...and I got a new pump !
Ford told me the down pipes were clear and not plugged...

It is rather rare for an '05-up HPOP to fail. It is fairly common for the STC fitting (on the back of the HPOP) to fail. Generally, I sell the STC fitting, dummy plugs and standpipes if any of the o-rings have failed causing a no start or long crank.
