You may have some wiring issues in the steering column...common problem supposedly.

I wasn't aware i needed to be exact specific, i thought most (that are not service people) would understand better the way i described it. every Turbo i have seen fail, was due to Oil.

I managed to get to the dealer Ron Carter. The norm shade tree mechanics fix was lithium grease packing. That was a fix but only 20 to 30K miles. Ron Carter's mechanics had seen this much more and GM advised a Nickle yoke on both ends to be installed plus re-packing. I don't really know why nickle, but under warranty that the fix at the moment and trust it for now. Never had any vehicle ever with near 40 years of driving one....

Well I'm guessing I'll take it to Mcree Ford not unless you have a better recommendation? Sponge

I use Delo in mine, partly because I work for Chevron, but also because my Dad used it for years in his Peterbilt and never had an single engine failure. Oh, and unless you want to spend some coin, don't go clicking around that site too much....

How many miles do you have on the truck and are you the original owner ?? If your not the original owner, how long have you had the truck ???

Yup the stock 6.0 air filter can support up to 500hp. Many guys dont get near that with our trucks. I have a strait pipe on my 6.0 it didn't add any seat of my pants performance. But it sounds mean as H311. If you want improved mileage, YOu should go with the SCT Xcal 3 with custom writen tunes. Their are several places you can get them at ranging from 400-600 bucks. Add HP/TQ and fuel mileage.

Thanks everyone.I will get some pics of the motor soon as it stops raining. Man Trodery what have you done.Usually I only bring the 4x4's out when it is raining.LOL

called ron carter servicce dept, it is a common problem injectors go out dump fuel into engine, hard start, fuel leak , they changed in 05 to injectors that wasn't in the valve cover so that it doesn't dump fuel into engine
