Thread: Calling All Ford 6.0 PSD Owners!!!

Well, I found a 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 CTD with the same hauler bed as our King Ranch. The truck is a 5.9 with 155,000 miles on it. It's a one-owner and the Carfax came back clean. I'm going to call the guy tomorrow and see about trading ours in. Given what we owe on the KR vs what it's worth and the price of the Dodge, our payments would stay the same.

Has anyone seen this coolant? I don't know how much it would cost to change over but I think I might call and find out.

OK, on a gas engine the EGR used to be controlled by vacuum, but I suppose it's done by the computer now. I used to just plug the vacuum line and that would take care of it, but don't know how to defeat it. How's it controlled on a Diesel?

That type of road will challenge the tranny, and the 4:11 will make a huge difference. I have no alarms etc, temp guage just sits on normal? Maybe its not working?? Not to hijack this thred on Fords 6.0 issues. Just got me as I think what I will do if the pan american is a reality. I will have over 2klb in demontration product in the garage if it all goes as planned. Still, a 3/4 ton ride is the biggest issue for me, I love the my heavy 1/2...

I hear you about the dealer oil change--but I'm a cheap SOB. Its a miserable 48F and raining and I got the girl in the cab and we're changing the brake fluid as I'm quite certain its never been changed. Its basically a filthy dark green coming out (should be clear, pale yellow--depending on which fluid you use). Just don't want any issues on my upcoming trip and boiling the fluid on a steep grade, PP or not, isn't...

Okay, my 2003 6.0L PSD Excursion has been a great truck and has run extremely well until about 3 months ago (it has 115,000 miles on it). The truck began running rough, surged at times, and was basically gutless. So after reading this thread about the Hot Shot Secret I decided to give it a try. Poured the entire jug into my oil yesterday and have driven it about 100 miles, so far. All I can say is, WOW! This stuff is fantastic. My X has...

I'll post something positive about this truck: the King Ranch interior is great!
