From what I understand, certain code readers won't work, I use my Superchips tuner-code reader, I just pulled some codes recently. Sounds like the dreaded UVH harness again. I never had problems with mine but the experts will be by soon to verify, good luck..

No, that scanner is not compatible with Powerstrokes. That's why it won't pull codes.

If you want a top notch code reader, the AE Scan tool seems to be a very good one, tells you everything, and I mean everything. Somebody with one will let you know how much and where to get it..

Sorry, I am up in MT right now and have a superchip reader with me, but I am down in Hardin. About as far away and still in MT as possible! LOL.

I actually called the company to verify if it would work on a PDS and they said no.

Do you have a multi-meter than can read ohms? Maybe we can save you some money. Read this thread and see if it sounds like you're problem https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/8...ck-shakes.html

You guys are awesome

Well once again the fine folks on this forum saved me a bunch of money . Your trouble shooting methods and thoughts of the problem were spot on. It did end up being UVH ,the ohm test showed nothing on the left side , pulled the valve cover off and it was just sitting there. Made the reconnect ohmed it again read right on the money. As i started to put it back together i retorqued everything , all was tight. Did the quarter mod(half the .50 mod), since i had the doghouse off i did the CCV mod(on the cheap,no collector yet) while i was already dirty i went ahead and did the foil delete. All of this was done with the great direction from you fine folks . With out you people i would have been at the mercy of the stealship and my wallet would be a whole lot lighter.THANX AGAIN HOPEFULLY I WILL BE AS SMART AS YOU GUYS SOME DAY. CRAIG

Glad to hear you got it all fixed up Craig. With the money you saved, maybe you should consider spending $20 and get a supporter badge next to your name.
