I just baught an 05 F-250 w/ 6.0L w/ 63k miles. Was just wondering how I can tell if the truck has a chip or not. The turbo will boost up to aroung 40psi on factory gauge. Also, is there anyone here who can see if the truck is still covered by the 100k waranty? If so I will PM vin # to you. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

40psi? My 6.0L only hits 28

 

Yea, mine is an 05 and 28 psi is about as max as it will get. Are you sure its 40 psi? 30 psi maybe? The gauge does seem to be a little hard to read at times. Maybe its just me.

 

If you are hitting 40 you better get it fixed quick,
the 6.0 engine will blow head gaskets without head studs at that level.
Maybe you have a overboost conditions.
All powerstrokes have 100k powertrain from ford.
use the oasis request at the top of this board to get the history of your truck(oasis).

 

I have the oasis. The only thing it was in for was an exhaust temp sensor and egr cleaning and its been dealer maintained. The reason I asked about the warranty is because of how picky FoMoCo is about programmers and such. I dont if it has been programmed or not. I am boosting between 35 and 40. But thats not towing and getting in it a little( about 3/4 throttle).

 

mine will only boost to 30psi on both of my boost gauges ........when its to the floor.

 

youre over boosting. take it in quick.

 

Other than going to the dealer is their any way I can find out if the 100k waranty has been voided due to previous owner?

 

that would be best because if there is an issue, they can handle it.

 

Thanks for the info. Have an appointment for tomorrow.

 

Let us know how it turns out!

 

Turns out I wasn't looking at the gauge to good. Thanks for the info guys. It spools up to about 28.

 

Yea i did the same thing in the begining, Only i was reading the gauge as being low boost. Eitherway, atleast its nothing serious...
