my own has started slipping into 3rd. and has a shudder on easy excel. guessing a clutch pack and t.c. are starting to go. down shift stoping into first is a clunk. changed the sp oil no better. 1 peice drive shaft so no shuder from that.

seems like the days of repairing a problem are gone. few now khow to repair anything or even do the machining to rebuild or overhaul.replace or use exchage . jeppers when was the last time some one saw a tech .machine valve seats and cut valves for a valve job.

i have to agree with you keith to many problems with after market products esp. alarms and remote starts. i don't think it's the product as much as the guy putting them in and out for a fast buck. even on my own f250. i had the dealer put in a ford kit the full one. the next day no start, the jerk cut the starter wire as told in the ford manual but never used the kit supplied crimps. the wires were just twisted together and came apart. infact evry one was that way. non of fords instructions were followed and every wire was found the same .were ford stated solder it was bared and twisted. no wonder they said the guy was in and out in 1/2 of a hour and it took me 2 to redo his screw up and install as per the sheets i down loaded. i personally blame the tech and something a lot of us hate flat rate pay or per job pay.

i know this is a old thread but some of us that at or near retirement or even as me have done so. have some tools floating around and knowage that some of these young kids will never see or hear about. it was funny as i had a phone call today by a guy who got my name and number and asked .i have a 48 ford flat head and understand you have the tools and knowage to put it back together . would you and how much? darn i know i could make some fast cash but said to him bring it and akid to my home that is going into mechanics . both of you do the lifting i can't do and i'll build you the motor so some young guy can do so later on when the time of us older guys is no more. jeppers we look at our old tools taking up space. but when we did use them . how much did they teach us and make us. they are not junk they are time vaults of mechanics showing what we did before computers and fuel injection. how many of us still have a old t bar torqe wrench floating around that is still as good as our clickers. whats my oldest tool my brains whats left of them.

keith and techs the 2 tsb's fixed this baby it now runns like and better then new. one they replaced the tps with and found some thing like 3 updated flashes beond keiths found tsb . thanks for the help.

slow? i was on a vaction to HI. for 3 weeks.

found this one with a later date that may correct my low rpm stall that has a even later reflash date tsb 06-3-9

oh i have! after 42 full years on the line. i have seen as much as the techs in this site maybe even more.

vw owners are great for that one. gee why did my old dodge run real great all the time 90% gas 10% diesel. it did smoke a litte but it sure ran, the diesel car it self suffered no problems. after i cleaned the tank lines and filter out . they always fired right up.

http://wordweb.info/ heres another good spell checker works with almost all http://www.obd-codes.com/index.php is a good helpfull web site when stuck trying to find a codes meaning

thank you keith i'll make a apptment when i get back from HI on april 29Th. charlie g

not to much up on these new motors, im ok with the old push rod ones. it threw code p0175 3 times total but not since i cleaned the mass air and went back to the stock a.f. system. it dose have a very mild miss fire at times that seems more like a lean miss. only at idle. surges and feels like a lock up problem at speeds of 35 to 45 . the tail pipe is black like on a diesel not clean saying yes it's rich .since it's bank 2 or the left side your guess is better then mine i sent a pm this am . with more information.

one of the dealer techs in fte had one "test mule" in his shop so the enginercould pull codes . along with the enginer driving it was gale banks . seems to sound like the very first pick up non turbo diesel. and banks input.

with all the bodys i see up and off haveing 6.0 repairs done you dealer techs most be matching the guys on the build line at ktp.

just a note for any techs looking at the mag hy-tek tranie pans for the 4r100 and more so the 5r110w. if you get one lay a stock gasket over the pan to see if they have rerouted the oring yet, mine was always leaking. we found the oring was inside the main case just enough that the pan always leaked. i dropped if 7 times all total the last time even had black gasket silicon and it still leaked.dropping it down ths last time we found how badly it was inside the case. yes the mercron sp gets costly. i have made several phone calls out to them about it. with out any great results.what i did get was we test every one to some wild air pressure number. then i told them don't machine the grove don't supply a o-ring use a flat pan lip and the stock gasket .that went over real great. at any rate i would not reccormend any of their newer ford pans that use a oring up to a autotranie case.

up date the lamp has stayed off now for about 1k, i was getting p0175 rich bank 2 .but its stayed off after cleaning the mass air with elecrontics cleaner .yes keith i did go back to the stock air cleaner. so i'm guessing some thing causeing the left bank o2s to throw a rich code. still don't know what it was.

right on keith.it is one of the best things ford has added in years. esp. the added pass though wires under the hood and under the dash, it would also help to have as to where the stubs are and what color does what and which switch has the 30 amp and 10 amp circuits .

7.69 and 8.01 1/8 mile, darn it my v10 sc 4x4 can do 15.9 1/4's whats so hot about a smoker laying out all that unburned fuel and doing roughly the same times? maybe a 14.0 sec 1/4 run . I still look at about 5k of cash in my bank account and love my FORD SUPER DUTY as well as the next guy. and as a side note i now have 6 small rams head decals on my left door from showing the dodge guys at island dragway they can't take on cubic inshes and alway win.

i'll add one here, for my 05 3v,v10 i was given a freebe , a AFE cold air kit. only one made on the market for this model. took the truck down to a buddys shop here in new jersey. where he has a 1500 hp chassis dyno,dead stock 268.5 on the ground in a best of 3 pulls, "lots of loose in the 4x4 drive train" added the afe kit 268.7 best of 3 pulls. dyno in my six . i don't think so. only good part is i'm not buying $42.00 motorcraft panel filters every 10 to 15k due to the air in new jersey. men 12k and pitch black. and yep 05/6 3v,v10's have a filter all by them selfs nothing else fits and only wix has a after market. still both are s.o.p. i have not found any one stocking any yet. seat of your pants dyno .not for me. real time only.

i have a few ?'s on a 3 v ,v10. first can any one tell this worn out retired tech. where he can get photos of a 3v apart.i'm looking for shots of the head in all directions . and esp. the camshaft bearings and caps. also since i'm retired.more like totally disabled. can any one help me with generic code p0175 on my own 05 3v ,v10. i have had it come up several times lately. i know it's rich mixture bank 2 , just wondering if it has been found and what MAY HAVE POSSIBLY caused it. and any ideas ,i'm just hoping it's not a bad intake manifold or seals . i need the truck to go to P.T. every day and have no other rides nor can i afford to rent one. but fully uderstand it will need to be fixed. what i have done is clean of the maf as i have a afe "k&n style filter kit" that may have or be the cause. not sure here. last ford dealer i worked in the pinto was still out and being built."ok i'm ageing myself" so i'm way out of date here. the lamp has stayed off for a while but i have also not driven far enough to get up to full temp either. and the last time it came on was after a 1 1/2 hour drive. THANKS up front for any help.

keith please don't say that. i have p0175 comeing on at me on mine from time to time .clean the maf and it stays away for a few days then back again. only it still runs great while it's on.

sorry about the delayed repost.i've been in and out of the hospital so much lately they have a room with my name on the door now. and i still have 6 more trips comeing up. gues thats what turning wrenches for 42 years gives you.a worn out body.and brains. now wheres mine i put them down some where and can't remember where. yes thank you alex intake seals seem to be a good place for them to start. i see a lot of black plastic behind my dealer. might just be a hint.

thanks keith sorry for not posting back faster..i'll get the guys to try those items. i'm getting ready for spine surgery and have been running around with testing before it. 95% psd's darn don't people know how good this v10 is? i can light my tires as easy as them with only a $600.00 option. if you get a chance check out my fte gallery. this is one rocking v10. dose ford sell insurance for my premature tire wear problem. tiresmokeitis from leadfootitis

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?

over in fte in the v10 area i have 2 men with 2003 s/d's v10 auto tranies that are pinging at rpms of 3k and higher. even on 91 octan.no faults in either. and their dealers are blowing them away. both are low miles motors under 50k, any one with any good ideas? that can help thanks to all
