Only had white smoke once when I shut it off last regen (1st one in 3,000 miles as far as I know with 2,000 miles towing) When I drove it the next day smokes for about 10 seconds at 2 miles while heating up again. With the Technology in this truck I agree stock is probably best if you do not want problems. Averaging 13.4 mpg (hand calc.)rural and city driving.

 

only item not stock on my truck is the AFE and mil has been on every since install was done, Plesse put number for afe on post please , I would like to speak to the rep also, Thanks.

 

Anyone with problems with AFE Intake should e-mail Rep @ mcain@afe.com
He can be reached by phone @ 1-951-493-7115.
If we don't all make our problems known they will probably just ignor us. When I first asked for help I was told that I was one of a VERY FEW that had experienced any trouble at all with their system. I have learned that that is not the truth!

 

Michael Cain is a very down to earth guy, however he is not the one you need to be speaking with. He's not one of the engineers. He is more like the customer service rep. When you call AFE ask to speak with the engineering department. Those are the guys who work with this failed product first hand.

Thanks Nick. I will try calling the engineering department. So far no more contact from Mike Cain.

 

I have an 05' King Ranch Short box with a 6.0L P.S.D. I just put a magnaflow exhuast system it yesterday turbo back and butchered the cat out. I was considering an A.F.E. stage 2 cold air intake, how are they working on the 05' 6.0? I hope better than they do on th 08' 6.4 which alomost bought instead of this 05' but $30,000.00 difference in price is a lot of money so i can do a few upgrades to the 05'

 

I have and AFe intake on my f-450 that was dealer installed when i purchased my truck and didnt void any engine warrenties, and have had no CEL problems yet (knock on wood)

 

I put the AFE pro guard 7 filter in this weekend and I'm now getting the P2002 fault code and the "check engine light". I also have the MBRP exhaust. I wasn't getting any faults until the AFE went on. By the way, production date of my truck is 04/07. Would that date put my truck in the "older version", or the redesigned one? Lastly, were do you find the meanings of the fault codes?

 

Welcome to the club, because you just wasted your money. Nothing you do will erase the CEL on your truck other than removing that ***** filter. A number of us have been through this and that's why I posted this thread. FORD made a couple minor changes to the intake tube during the 08 SD production. AFE first released the 6.4 system and realized this so they redesigned a new intake tube for their kit hoping it would eliminate the CEL many complained about. Well guess what..... I tried that along with even replacing my entire system for a new one and it still made no diffrence. If I were you I would sell it to someone else who wants to take the risk or return it if you can.

As per the 2008 6.4 Ford tech manual, code P2002= Particulate Trap Efficiency Below Threshold.

Code description= This error occurs if an expected pressure drop through the DPF is lower than the specified value following a regeneration cycle based on the concept of normalized pressure differential.

 

Yes, and this comes from the intake. I had the exhaust on my truck for 2k miles before I installed the AFE and never one CEL. After the intake was installed the problems began.

If the 7.3 is no longer available due to emissions standards, then what does engine displacement have to do with emissions. I can see how maybe a diffrent piston, or head design would help but not bore and stroke. Not tring to be a smart a$$ just wondering.

 

that suckssssss

 

So, is the service manual available on-line, or do I gotta go to the Ford dealership for one?

 

I have been waiting MONTHS now for AFE to respond with a fix for the "Check Engine" light problem on my truck. The last e-mail I received from Mike Cain @ AFE admitted that they were aware of the problem but to busy with getting ready for SEMA to do anything for me at the moment. He said that with early build trucks the check engine light seemed to be on about 60% of the time & it was turning out to be a harder problem to fix than they had hoped.That e-mail was dated 10-27 and no further response from AFE since then. With so many other choices out there now why would anyone but anything from AFE? I wont make that mistake again!
