So, I just got the Scan GaugeII and I want to know what most people suggest monitoring on the F250 6.0 ?

Reason I got the gauge was do to a issue I noticed today!

I was playing in the snow today for about 15min or so and as I was giving the truck some throttle I noticed it bogged down for a sec almost like it wasn't getting any fuel . I kinda got scared like " what the @#%$ , I hope I wasn't to rough on it or stayed in the throttle to long and hurt something in the motor etc...? "

Maybe a little paranoia but after that had happened , I drove off and it just seemed as if it had lost a little power or was just a little sluggish. The truck has about 41,000 miles on it (2007) and hasn't had any mods done to it at all.

So , I said " you know I been seeing everyone suggest that you have a ScanGaugeII to monitor the trucks values and certain things that the normal display isn't as accurate on or just doesn't show at all. Hense the ? "what should I be monitoring on the truck with the gauge and keep my eye on"?

Please let me know some advice if you have anything solid for me !!! PLEASE!!

Thanks

any idea what might have caused the issue I briefly described in my first post?

 

I'm new to having the Scanguage II also. I got mine about a week ago. I've researched ALOT over the past few days to learn what to monitor as well as what these things mean, since I am by no means a mechanic.
The stuff that Blade35 shows above is mostly what I have now loaded. If you do a google search for example "ICP, or IPR or ICV, you will find yourself directed back to posts by guys like blade35, cheezit, and other knowledgeable folks who are helping people like you and I. You can learn fairly quickly things like the acceptable deltas for your engine coolant vs. oil temp and what causes the problems like clogged coolers etc. You can figure out what the correct voltages are for the FICM and pressures for the injectors.
I had to look up every one of these things just to understand what they stood for.
I'm currently putting together a spreadsheet at KOEO, LI, HI, at starting temps. and then at fully warmed temps. Once I get it all together, I'm going to post it and get any feedback I can as to whether everything looks OK. I think it will since the truck is running fine.
That will give me a starting point to look at should something go wrong. For example, I'm getting ready to flush my cooling system. I want to be sure once I run VC-9 through it, that, I don't accidently release any particles that might clog the oil cooler causing the engine oil temp. to exceed the coolant temp by more than 15 degrees.
Do the research and reading for a few days and some of it will start to make sense. Also, read the tech guides on this site. Tons of info there.

Maybe this is redundant and you already know, if so, I apologize for rambling on.
Good Luck!

 

thanks guys for all your replies ! keep em coming !!

 

Lots of Ideas on the problem but get the gauge loaded and then use the below to verify readings

will do ! thank you for your help as usual . Im sure it wont be the last time ! Hope to be over this noob status A>S>A>P

 

ICP= 581/583 @ idol
EBP= 17.4 @ idol
FMP= 48.5/49.5 @ idol
FLP= 14.0 steady @ idol
SYC= 1

So , what next ?

 

Just to add a little info. A few suggestions.

ICP and IPR go together for a good look at the high pressure oil system.

MAP, BARO, and EBP go together and give you a look at intake pressures (boost). You can add BST to this list also, but I believe it's calculated using the previous numbers.

You can watch several voltages at the same time.

You can watch several temps at the same time.

Watch 3 temps and fan speed sensor (FSS).

Here's a quick video on how to put the numbers in:

Here is a list of codes you can use for a 6.0 powered truck(there are more):

Here is a thread with a good list of what all the sensors SHOULD read:

Hope I ain't overloading you but this info will get you a long way in working on your truck. It is a lot of stuff but you don't have to know it all as long as you know how to find it.

Also, in this thread, there is spreadsheet that is very handy for keeping track of your numbers. (Thanks Piolet)

Here is a video of live running with x-gauges on a 6.0L.

(By the way, I entered gauges alphabetically from gauge 24 - 0, xgauges scroll starting at #24)

 

Ok , So I have spent a good portion of my day just running numbers through all the great codes and advise you guys gave me and the truck checks out healthy as can be according to the numbers on the SGII . So , a bit relieved I am for sure !

I am wondering at this point if it may have just been gelling in the fuel ?
So , I put a ADDITIVE in to stop gelling in the fuel and the truck seems to have regained the lost power now since its been a several hours and some miles later.

Knock on wood!
I really hope this is the cure for whatever the ailment was this morning and yesterday. We normally don't get these extremely low temp here !

If you guys think of any other advise as to my issues since the numbers have checked out , keep the comments coming to me as long as there fresh !

You guys are great !! Much appreciated help here in FTE !!!

 

not to hi-jack op,but I ordered a pre programmed scangauge from BPD,will it have everything on it that I need?

 

i don't know what they mean by pre programmed but the one I bought a scanner
from AutoZone and it is has pre-sets in it already . If you mean programmed to have all the gauges you need I don't know . They should explain what they mean a little better .

How much is it costing the pocket if you don't mind telling me?

 

it was 10 dollars more than advance auto wanted,and its been so cold here I figured it would be worththe 10 dollars to not sit out in the cold to program the thing.

 

Was the snow above your bumper? The air intake is in The left side if the grill next to the headlight if you were bustin drifts you could have packed some snow in your air filter. That would def big you down for a bit until it melted off. It warns about this from heavy snow or rain i the owners manual.
