This was motivated by frost heaves and whoopdeedo's that cracked the frame more times then I care to admit. My favorite weekend spot is the Denali Hwy and if that '67 Franklin Truck Camper will fit, this is most likely where you will see my rig when the snow melts.

Have a great weekend!

Welcome firedawg. 04 F350 with PSD and I have not had any issues with my motor. Have talked with others with the 04 and they seem to be doing fine. My coworker has an 03, early PSD and has had his EGR go bad which led to burning up his turbo. Nye loved that towing bill. He did get his also a Seekins.

I guess the technician had a bad day when he built my PSD, I have had nothing but problems with it. Matter of fact, it's at Seekins as we speak. I'll keep you informed of the prognosis. What department do you work at in Fairbanks?

Hi Firedawg. Not sure but was that last replay for Heavnbound or myself. Sorry to hear that you are having problems with your PSD. Hopefully things will work out for you.
Alot of reading but some real good information on the 6.0 and problems that some people have had. Look at the 6.0 Forum, https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...d.php?t=185570. Grab a case of your favoriate beverage, it will take awhile to read all of the post. Might give you some insight on the issues that you are having.
