Question HELP! Stuck in Vegas with codes

I need some advice here, On the way back from Tahoe I was behind my buddies 2005 6.0 350 when he lost power and could only pull the 18K trailer 30-35MPH. We hooked my other friends truck to it and pulled the entire package from Indian Springs to Vegas.

We changed both fuel filters and dropped and cleaned the tank in a WalMart parking lot.

Truck is hard to start and pukes unburnt fuel then slowly starts to idle normal. No trailer and once it starts making power, it stalls out and is hard to start.

This morning we put a new fuel pump and lower filter in and we have the same problem.

NOW, we have an Edge Programer code for #5 cyl -contribution balance falt (or something of that nature).
  • Where is Cyl. if I'm in the drivers seat?
I want to check to see if the fuel injector bolt back out.

Please give me some advice on t roubleshooting this thing. I need to get back to phoenixsand see my women. Its 10 days and I'm sure you guys understand.

Thanks again man!

As soon as we got the injector changed and the air out, she went back to running good.

We just left the walmart parking lot and the 6.0 is in front of me pulling great.

My mom and dad live near Craig and MLK, but they didnt have a place to store the 56' rig.

Once again, thanks for offering a hand

Yep, we made it back to Phx with the only issue being the Electric Fan selinoid. Once in Kingman it started to rain and the rigs temp. stayed low. At this point the fan was kicking on at 218 like designed.

How tough is it to put the 7.3 fan system on the 6.0? just a thought.

I'll post a few pics later when I get them all off my camera.

Here are a few pics.

Stop at Indian Springs on the way up to Tahoe/Rubicon


Wheeled the Rubicon Trail



Broke down in a Vegas WalMart parking lot on the way home. I wish I would have got the pics of us BBQ'ing burgers & dogs.

You know when your a redneck when you fix your truck in the parking lot of the Wal*Mart. :P

IMO the only good thing Wallie Mart is good for is that they will let you camp in their parking lots.

Great pics BTW
Glad to see you get everything fixed.
