My 6.0 just cost me a pile of $$ in repairs!
It all started when the EGR cooler let loose a cloud of steam.
I tore it down and found that the oil cooler was plugged so not enough coolant was getting to the EGR cooler so it crapped out changed both units and found that a 1 5/8 frost plug fits perfectly between the EGR cooler and the uppipe so I shouldn't have that problem again,
When I got all that done the truck was missing/running rough, I thought that it might be an air locked injector so I went to go for a drive, made it about 200 yards and it quit, then a no start, off to the stealer on a hook and in the shop for a week new injectors and ficm ( all the coils failed )
the interesting thing was that there were no dtc's showing.
after the injectors were replaced they flashed her up and went for a drive, all is well they tell me. I go to pick her up and I have a no start right in the dearler lot... Now I am Pissed that was 4300.00 already,
they check for dtc' and find that the ipr is open/No pressure...CRAP!!!
now it is another 450.00 out of pocket but It finally is running again...
I am a happy camper again, although I will be camping in the back yard this year as I can't afford to go anywhere...LOL
all in all I cant be upset at the techs at the dealer, they tried to get me warranty on the injectors as there were only 13000 km on them but fomoco nixed that . it sucks to have this kind of luck but it still beats the alternative...CHEV or Dodge...yuk !!
The BLUE blood runs deep here
I have learned a lot from this forum... Keep up the good work everyone

Doesnt it just SICKEN you when you spend all that money on your truck, just to start it up and NOT be able to get that smile off your face. Happened to me today.

 

I got the same story here about injectors. What burns my **** is I paid for the ESP and then Ford Canada comes back and says owner neglect for having rust on the injectors so no coverage.
My dealer gave me a good deal on parts and labour but still came to $3700 for all the injectors and filters and tank flush. And I've only put 10K on this used truck.

 

I think that Ford tells all their tech to say "bad fuel" right away because that voids all warrenties on the fuel system...I imagine that in those cases it really sucks to be the poor diesel tech that is working on your truck...Bills that big tend to make people see red

 

I've got a good tech, recharged my a/c for me for nothing last summer, I will be going to see him again soon

 

I have to say that the techs that worked on my truck were good at what they do, I do all my own work but I don't have the electronics stuff for diagnostics so I have to go to the dealer for that
