I've been wanting to do the same thing for a long time, just hasn't worked out yet. Another thing I'm wondering is what the heck did they change on the CAC??? Nobody has been able to tell me that either. If we knew that, we would be able to get an idea of what they were thinking. __________________ 2008 F350 SRW 4X4 Lariat, Crew Cab, SWB, 3.73 LSD

that sounds like a good problem to have. when you run spartan tune w/ the u know what delete, can the dealer tell the u know what has been reinstalled, b/c it looks likes its mounted in there by exhaust clamps rather than welded in. so when you take the spartan straight pipe off to reinstall the u know what for say an e check or dealer work, will it look suspicious?

I'm not getting how replacing the CAC is clearing up the white smoke (EGR) and hesitation issues. Thanks. Theory is the moisture in the air is condensing in the cac. When you put your foot in it the water is sucked into the intake manifold. What you are seeing is steam not white smoke. I recently...

Well i posted in this thread last year. I have had the issue since day 1. It is now in the shop getting a new CAC. I will be picking it up Monday Am and will be leaving for GA on Wendsday pulling a trailer. Every trip I have made up there is has acted up so it will be a true test. I will report back once I have results __________________ 2008 F-250 6.4 3.73 Lariat Crew Cab, 4X4, Sunroof, NAV etc. 2003 F-350 CC 6.0 4WD DRW 4.10 5 Speed...

^^^+100 Also this won't entirely eliminate the issue but 98% of it will be gone and the truck will be usable and impact its ability to pull.

Mine did it empty. But it was going up a long steep hill. __________________ 08 F350 Lariet DK.Blue/Silver CC Short Box SRW.

Update: I took it in again, this time mainly because the TPMS sensors keep coming apart inside the tire (that'll be whole other post!) Anyway, they are going to replace the CAC per the TSB mentioned in this thread. I'm also going to get my second radiator. Looks like it'll be in the shop most of next week w/ the holiday and days off, etc... I'll let you all know the results when I get it back.

To fix the white smoke problem, Five Star Ford of Aberdeen just installed a new “Charge Air Cooler Assembly” into my F350 diesel. The part number is 7C3Z-6K775-B and the TSB for it is 08-25-1. They also installed a “Venturi Tee Kit into the Degas Bottle and Radiator Vent Hose.” I just picked up the truck so I don’t know if it has cured the problem or not. I’ll follow up in a couple...

My truck has 4.30:1 rear gears, it regens about every tank full, I am going to start using the B trip to keep track of it. I usually run 70 on highway, it averages 11-11.5 empty. If I get much over 70 mph it really starts to drop in fuel mileage. I am not sure how often my brother-inlaws truck regens, will have to ask him. __________________ 2009 F-450 Ranch King, CC, Dually, 4X4, LB. 1997 F-350 Powerstroke, 5-speed, CC, 4X4, LB, Programmer,...
