captchas Posted December 19, 2005 Author Share Posted December 19, 2005 a p.s. these trucks are also useing oil and have the the pcv routed different then the hynes manual. pcv on the right cover and go to behind the t.b. and left side to before. the book shows left to behind and right to before, could the book be wrong or is there a valve cover bad or in need of a mod like the 3.8 v6. any thoughts?

Keith Browning Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Hey Chas, I don't get over to the FTE web site much anymore because it's hard to find the substance amidst all of the advertising. I'm all for making a buck but for crying out loud! Any way, I don't get to play with too many gassers these days but I am curious about this oil consumption you are reporting and the PCV modification. Am I that far out of the loop with the gas trucks? LOL Pinging - running lean - I found nothing posted as far ad SSM's or TSB's that look like what you describe. This is typically a result of low fuel pressure or unmetered air. I have seen a few 5.4L with low power concerns that were traced to the fuel pump pick-up sock being too fine and clogging. Contaminated MAF sensors. I also see around the shop a lot of intake manifold seals being replaced for lean codes on V-6's and 4.6's in the non Super Duty Trucks. Sorry I have nothing definitive for you but those are a few things to look at - did I mention we sell 95% diesels? /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rofl.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex j. crow Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 hello chas, I have been a ford tech for 20 yrs.and own a 99 E-350 V-10,i have to say this has been one of the best engines ford ever made.i had the pinging trouble twice so far,the first time it was contamination of the maf.cleaning the maf is a routine maintenance item specially w/ k&n.The second repair came after the engine was 58k and i found an oily intake tube the culpret being an unseated pcv valve in the right valve cover.
