I believe if you go to forums...then to 6.0 and search in there. I'm almost positive that's where I seen it.

Hey guys,

As you know, The Diesel Garage is a somewhat competitive site to FTE. A good bunch of knowledgeable folks that lean heavily on the super modified side of diesel technology.

With that said, and with respect to FTE ownership, I would appreciate it very much if, when recommending competitive sites, you would do so via private messaging.

I am going to keep the thread in-service, for now, in hopes that you get responses / answers to your question here. Besides that, I look at most other sites as being complimentary to FTE as opposed to competitive.

Thanks in advance....

Now to your problem. Injector leaks, to much oil, ICP Sensor problems, EGR issues, etc...

2003/04 Lack of Power, Runs Rough, Check Engine Light on With EGR Codes:
Some trucks may exhibit exhibit the above symptoms, as well as have excessive white or black smoke, and may have the following EGR valve code(s): P0401, P0402, P0403, P0404, P0405, P0406. Diagnostics for the EGR valve have been updated, as has the EGR valve--P/N 4C3Z-9F452-A. Broadcast Message 3614, SSM 18362.


Having an '04, it will be important to know your engine build date and mileage. Are you the original owner?

As you can see many things can cause the symptoms you speak of. More history will be critical no matter where you seek your answers.

Did they hook up their scan tool and look to see if any "codes" were recorded?

If no... they need to... no way to say "no problems" with out it.

It could be related to the TSB KW posted above... but it also could be an EGR valve or turbo vane(s) sticking???

Try a different dealer and get their opinion if your still under warrenty... it costs you nothing.
