Good info every Powerstroker should know
This is just a good read and the whole site is good. I took my truck to Chuck and he was able to diagnose my truck in about 10 minutes with a flash light, and a rag. He gave me a $6500 bill of things that sould be adressed so I fixed them all myself and saved lot of money and my truck is Almost like brand new even if it has 150K. He talked to me for about 4 hours on a personal level and I recommend him for anyone in the Seattle area because he REALLY knows his trucks.http://thepowershop.com/index.php?pr...troke_Troubles

my folks got a banks kit from them about 6-7 years ago, even though I'm a banks dealer. I was 3k miles away, so they did it there. Darn them for buying a bigger trailer so far from home! Said they had a good experience, still have the truck and have had no problems aside from some intercooler boots in 7-ish years.

Bolts Loosening on Exhaust Side of Turbo Assembly
Just read Chuck's (the Power Shop) message to all PSD owners -
FYI, at approximately 10,000 miles I had 1 bolt fall out and another loosen. At that time, those bolts were a hot topic with PSD owners so I was on the alert to check them regularly.
This problem had been going on long enough for Ford (or Garrett the turbo mfgr) to finally come up with a solution.
There is a retrofit bolt kit available to solve this problem. At the time my bolts came loose, my Ford dealer hadn't heard about the available of a Ford kit. I gave them the Ford part no. and they had the new bolts installed with a week.
No problem since - now at 67,000 miles.

I must have cut off the end of the bulletin, but the important information is there.
Hope this is what you need.

Cedman,
I used to work with Super Grit Cowboy Band many moons ago and just figured you may know them. Stump (Gary Murray), is also known as Gary Murray Electric. Just a thought that you may have known them.
