Oil pan rusted out, hubs needed to be replaced, IPR went bad, Transmission lines needed to be replaced, etc. When it's running its a beast, however, more often than not there is an issue of one kind or another.

If you have an International dealer close by you can purchase a set for a lot cheaper than at the dealer but ONLY use Racor filters do not try and save a couple of bucks by buying cheaper ones.

Sounds like this truck has had a hard life. jmaskew is right on w/ his post. You can cause injector damage quickly with plugged fuel filters or with water in the fuel. You also can have quite a few injector problems with dirty oil, too much oil, non OEM style oil filters, etc ..........

Thanks for the responses. I'm going to buy filters tomorrow and give that a shot before I take it, as a last resort, to the stealer. I need to get this truck fixed asap. We've already had 42" of snow in November and I need to plow! I'll report back.

LOL! Marquette Michigan. 2nd snowiest city in the country. Marquette typically gets several hundred inches of lake effect snow off of Lake Superior. And when it snows here, it stays. Marquette is also in the top 10 coldest places in the country. Over 3,000 miles of groomed snowmobile trails too..

2006 F-250 powerstroke airbag light issues
I have a 2006 F-250 Crew Cab 4x4 and the airbag light is staying on. When the key is on it flashes twice and then pauses and will repeat this 3 times the it will flash fast and then just stay on. My cruise control doesn't work and the lights on the steering wheel flicker or won't work at all sometimes and they flicker when im turning. My horn works sometimes. And when I lock it with the remote my parking lights flash but my horn wont honk anymore. My abs light is also on and when I get it cleared it will come back on. Can anyone help me.

Or plan on getting on here to whine about it wont start, or poor mileage or poor performance on a regular basis.
Oil Chamges with the Correct oil for you climate- and correct high quality filters
Change the fuel Filters every 10K to 15K miles
Fuel additive
You are learning........the hard way

You must have gone to the Sarah Palin school of public speaking. As in, "open mouth, insert foot" cause I'm not sure how the oil pan rusting from the inside out, the hubs needing to be replaced, the IPR going bad, the transmission lines needing to be replaced have anything to do with maintenance, but...... ok. And why, "wise elder", did you assume that just because I hadn't replaced the fuel filters that immediately meant that I hadn't changed the oil regularly or the air filter regularly or was not smart enough to use the correct oil or fuel additive....? You must be reaaaallllyyy smart! Thanks for the advice.
