Just Joined...Need Some Help
New To FTE...I have some issues with my truck, if anyone can help...would be appreciated.
1. During Cold Starts, hissing can be heard from exhaust(I am told this is normal until the engine warms up)...problem is, it doesn't turn off.
2. Already had the rear axle sensor replaced (25,000k), new one didn't last a week.(as soon as it rains, that's it!?!)
3.My truck obviously has a PTO installed with an automatic idle-up. At random the idle-up doesn't work. I'm told the PTO assembly and wiring are fine, but dealer can't find a reason either.
Any help or advice at all would be appreciated.. Thanks again

Hey Thanks
Thanks for the input... My aux switches are all in use exept #4 and that's for My amplifier.
Anyhoo about the turbo....i know that once it's warmed up, that wannabe exhaust brake thingy is supposed to shut off but it doesn't. I don't mind the sound but it's robbing serious power and killing my fuel economy. My truck only has a 55L tank and i need all the mileage i can get.

It would be good if you let us know what year of truck you are trying to fix. I realize that your username says 06 superduty, but lot's of people own more than one truck.

Thanbks For All The Help
Thanks To Everyone For all the help...
But do I ever Feel Stupid...
Flex Hose In Exhaust system has a hole in it! I Have to wait for hardware from Edmonton to come in.
Tranny is going to be re-programmed for the shifts in tow mode.
And last but not least....New Harness for the rear axle sensor assembly.
