Ok one more question for the techs out there. Do you mind if I come up an visit with you about my trucks problem. Or shall I just let the service manager handle it. my philosophy is talk to the guy working on your truck an tell him yourself everything you know. Get to know him an let him know who you are. Hey I wanna do the right thing. I dont want to waste anybodies time.. I really appreciate all the techs out there. You have to deal with customers,service manager an the dealership owner as weall as the manufacturer. The tech i know are hardworking people that aim to plese.

Heres one to think about..........The time to replace the egr cooler hose on a 6.0. Originally, Ford paid you to remove the turbo to gain access to the hose. There is a thing called an EDSR. That is where you inform Ford of a better way to do a job, and they send you $50. Some young kid sent an EDSR, now it pays 1 hour.

wow that hardly seems fair for you techs too me, got a question what kind of markings if at all would a fueling box make? or codes would it trip? would it just show higher exhaust readings? and what could/would they say about an aftermarket magnaflow exhaust with cat delete? would they deni you warranty for any all of these ? im all for being upfront but it only takes one tech like demolition got to vote you out of warranty, lets face it the 6.0s have lifted as many HG's with mods as without.

Koboss and badford....were you even paying attention, or is it you dont care? You modify your truck, and something happens to it possibly from your mods....PAY FOR IT! But you still want me to bear the cost for you.....thanks!

I can ensure everyone that has soot in your tailpipe it is because the DPF is cracked, moved, or the mat mount is gone.

Barry, I have had sooty tailpipes from day 1 AND my truck seems to be getting a little better MPG than the average. 14 cityish, and up to 19 hywy. Is it possible that my DPF is broken and is creating less of a restriction and giving me a bit better MPG??
