Have april 2003 F250 6.0Powerstroke
Got truck stock but well maintained -before i knew what i was getting into.
North Dakota winter brought out multiple problems learned and experimented thru this forum and a couple others. Now i know more than many Powerstroke performance shops.
Truck is now Bulletproof plus, with lots of extras. All Motorcraft parts all the time...a few exceptions (AFE Stage 2 cold air, crappy NAPA steering gear, these before i knew what i was doing. RiffRaff CAC boots BD Performance exhaust manifolds
Problems:
oil leak coming from rear of engine, seepage from just below original turbo (new actuator 1year ago), and everything below that. Both sides of engine, naturally more on PS.
been blowing black smoke recently during acceleration also boost spooling much slower. when first got engine rebuilt fastest thing on the road was my truck
all gauges going haywire maybe fouled with oil
Got Edge CTS2 for gauges and SCT x4 programmer. Been on 65hp tow stock tune since engine rebuild 12,000miles ago. Truck is at 179,000
got in truck all PIDs associated with airflow screwy
boost read 0
VGT read 0
MAF stuck on 25
MAP 13
Baro 13.7
figured Edge not seated right or something but drove home with occasional black smoke coming out Turbo slow to spool but sounding normal albeit slow to spool
replugged in Edge did return to stock on SCT inspected MAF,MAP,EBPS and test drove long enough to know i got a problem
MAF connector got soot as in short at connector wants to stay at 25 but intermittently shoots up to 50, 100,even 200 but flashes back to 25. Obviously messed up
MAP wants to stay at 13
EBP reading up to 24 with Boost saying 5
Kitty shows crack on rear at top where reduces back down. Still have stock exhaust. How my kitty crack? i doubt its loaded down unless sucked so much oil recently
Did the oil leak screw my sensors? do i need to inspect em all n replace MAF
This is my first actual post everything I've needed has been available from others and i lost the more detailed one i tried to post last nite by taking too long and timing out. Let me get this out there and i can give more info as needed. I got cast iron HPOP and am gonna go see how IPR and ICP are comparing thinking y'all may want to know that
Thank you for your help, Brothers
