STROKER_T

I got an F650 flatbed tow truck that wont get out of it's own way,only codes recieved are 68 and 111,secondary turbo inlet pressure fault and coolant level sensor fault,of which i just replaced the coolant level sensor,code stayed gone for a bit then returned....i dont see alot of these 5.9's but it acts like it's in derate mode and will barely reach 40mph....wondering if the turbo is anything like the 6.0 as far as operation,i have a known good turbo available to switch with if needed...service engine soon light and stop engine light is on and stays on when running....anybody familiar with this 68 code? thanks for your help on this

Derate is an understatement when this happens...it actually falls on it's face and throttle is less than responsive...got bit on this one for sure...put an electric fuel pump on for this same concern,thought for sure that fixed it...funny thing is the glow plug coil flashes intermittently but only codes are 2614 and 17...hopin it's the cam sensor signal causing havoc on other circuits,fixin to put one in...

Wow,what a good one i got here...6.0 runs great right up to when u least expect it... throttle cuts out,no response from pedal,low power,feels like fuel shut off...while this is happening the water in fuel light comes on,and glow plug coil flashes....do a neutral coast ignition reset and power comes back most of the time...lights go out...tried recording it but it's so intermittent it's hard to catch....codes p2614 and p2617 only codes stored after episode... I'm thinking can sensor is losing signal causing cut out concern...109K on truck...thanx

Thanx guys I'll check that....used your typical spark light and getting good spark from coil wire...gonna check for pulse at injectors,it makes sense that just because u have power to injectors doesnt mean there's pulse...which brings me back to whether check engine light should self check or not...this is my uncle dennis's car,sure would like to hear this thing run.... if no pulse and no check engine light,sounds like breakout box time...good times

Mornin everyone,gotta '94 stang convertible 5.0 that cranks,but wont start unless u shoot ether to it...found water in the gas,replaced fuel pump with a bosch and cleaned tank....NOW i got good fuel and pressure,spark is ok and i have power to injectors...now here's the kicker: the check engine does NOT prove out,self test or whatever the reference is....i pulled every connector i could find to eliminate the possibility of a bias sensor...no go still... Just wanted to verify that indeed the check engine light should come on with key in run position,then go out after engine starts...this thing is kickin my ass,anybody have an idea of what i'm missing here...? THANKS

Just wondering if someone might know where i can obtain the adapter needed to perform air pressure test on 6.0 hi pressure oil system....thought NAPA could get it from their broad range of fittings in stock,but thats a no go...I tried the small plug match up and the one for icp sensor port,no luck... It's been awhile since i've visited here,miss u guys...thanx for any help

Hey all....i got an '04 cavalier with a 2.2L ecotech engine here,the customer concern is no heat from inside...up to this point the thermostat,radiator and heater core have been replaced...they admitted to adding stop leak for a few months before no heat concern... Wondering if anyone has stumbled across one of these,seems like the coolant is not circulating,while the t-stat was off i turned the crankshaft and the water pump impeller moves as it should.. Totally lost on this one,any ideas or similiar circumstances on this gem of an engine...? Thanks for any help given,gitting my arse handed to me here...

Larry, thinkin' that was Kieth givin u a GREAT BIG hug....i gotta say I don't even bother with going to any other diesel sites (except ),this site is very familiar to me and mostly friendly,can't beat it with a stick

Got an Enhanced Short Block comin on the truck today (supposedly)....There's still alot of parts needed to complete the repair,the engine i'm replacing came in as a no start,it was hydrolocked,found both coolers leaking,actually had coolant dripping from exhaust tips,that CANT be good for the DPF...it's an '08 with 60,300 miles with a loud knock AND oil sprays on the d/s fender (from dipstick tube) at idle...it had a #8 piston put in at 38,000,along with coolers at another dealer...I pulled the pistons out and found some spun bearings and oblongated cylinder walls along with worn rings (suprised no pistons were burnt)... but with the fuel system as finicky as it is and the fact that's it's a 6.4 has one worry if everything will run and work correctly when all is said and done...hope this doesn't sound like whining,but the 6.4 ('08 in particular) is a big damn can of worms way too often... Wonder what the warranty time will be for the more robust block swap...probly not gonna be pretty

Much appreciated,thanks for the help!

Got an '08 6.4 here...customer came in for a high idle concern,long story short i reprogrammed it at IDS 68.11 level,high idle concern went away...i was told in order to get paid the big dollars (.6?) there has to be an applicable TSB # that fits the concern...only one I see is TSB 09-19-10,but thats for trucks 3 months newer... Customer didn't pay,it was covered it under warranty (that's what the writer told the customer,but no deductible was collected),i'm guessing that was a freebie...no biggie Anyone got a TSB # for this,maybe it's outdated because it's out of the 3 year mark? Thanks

Got one here that when key is out of tumbler the lights on the cluster stay lit(ABS,Brake w/warning message,Batt,etc.),and it wont start...it's acts as if the key is in the on position,except the key is on the seat...intermittent,of course....HELP! They're from out of town...

got a no start here with p179a,p0101,p0003,and sure enough fuse 74 blows,disconnected jumper harness and fuse doesn't blow...guessing the hpop harness is shorted to ground,so the cab is coming off... With the harness causing issues,should i replace the pump also or just the harness and hope thats the ticket... '08 F350 with 57,000 miles

I'm gonna say both,Kieth...apparently Ford has had a bunch of inquiries on this P132b thing,he said the updated calibration (power increase) should eliminate the P132b,a false code perhaps,and the spec for MAP increase USED to be 10psi,they lowered it to 6.96 due to the failed KA16....I'm still learning on the 6.7's

I'm using gaskets from now on for sure...the manifold prices have dropped a bunch i think,i put new manifolds,bolts,spacers and gaskets on this puppy...P132b is gone,and it has power once again Thanks for the advise

ok,just got off the phone with Ford (they called me,that rarely happens)...guy says the increase spec for MAP increase on PPT KA16 is 6.96 psi,that it used to be 10psi spec,but has been updated and that the flash update should fix the P132b concern...good to know,i almost ordered a turbo for that puppy ...they had already told me yesterday via lukewarm line to replace the turbo,i was just waiting for the customer to tell me the problem reoccured...as for the low oil pressure warning they got a tsb that says it may take 20 seconds(or somethin like that)... pretty much what Cetane said,i suppose...

Well...whadayaknow,got one in here with 3735miles with same code and oil pressure warning,guy says oil warning was only on for a few seconds,but CEL stayed on for a day...p132b recieved,freeze frame data shows the engine was warm (EOT @ 190). He was waiting,so i cleared the code and performed power increase calibration,told him we may be putting a turbo on it,but had to do more research and talk with FORD....pid monitor test reads identical to Greg's, only 7psi increase on MAP...uh oh is right I see turbo's on a national backorder in the very near future....

mornin'...got an '03 here with 160,000 miles with a reoccuring p132b code,found exhaust leak at #7 cylinder at exh manifold...funny thing is that the VGT learn pid reads yes with 27 learned events.. was wondering what y'alls opinion is on using exh manifold gaskets...i personally have never used 'em,figure they would come stock if they were that good... i gave the customer the option of having them machined flat vs. replacing them,it may save him around $300,but i wanna do it right the first time,so i thought it would be a good post for debate... seen a few come in with blown manifold gaskets in the past... when i did mobile repair several years back the shop owner insisted i use that black sticky stuff on the mating surfaces of any and all manifolds,he was the boss,so i did and never had any returns from it,but wasn't sure about it nevertheless... thanks for any opinions,greatly appreciated

I'll be sure to check it out Kieth.This concern feels just like a bad rack on a gas job...the gear box is on national backorder

yep,Jim...it's a 4x4 with 22" Nitto Grapplers with Incubus rims(bling-bling)....lukewarm line says if my p/s pressure stays constant during the flow test,then i am to put a gearbox on it....got one ordered

Need some help on this one....power steering grabs and kicks back when turning,pump seems to work fine...looked for but didn't see anything related,but i thought that i saw a topic related to a valve in the brake booster that was causing some issues,or maybe it was a line....if you turn the wheel from 12 to 9 o'clock the steering wheel kicks back a bit...6.4L (pos)...thanks for any suggestions

All-righty then...found a pcm out back off an '02 that runs,swapped them puppies out and still got same problem....it's been awhile since i had a good ass-whoopin....might as well get it over with Got everything on that circuit disconnected,clicking at pcm power relay only stops with pcm disconnected...guess it's time to wipe the dust off the BOB...hopefully somebody else reading this has had this fun filled problem Got juror duty this week,on call status....been living here in myrtle beach for 16 years,first time for the juror thing...no bill payin this week for me

Kieth,the only component that stops the clicking is the PCM and IDM/PCM relays...a PCM runs about $700 here(yikes!),only got 1 available for plug in test,but it's out of a '99,thinkin that ain't gonna work for a tester,gotta look it up...

Got one here that cranks but won't start,fuse 2.22 has been soldered between terminals,got power on both sides,IDM power relay is clicking with key on... Truck came in 2 months/3000 miles ago for crank/no start concern,i replaced blown f 2.22 and truck started every time since,until it died while driving on customer yesterday,now it's back in my bay... As far as EVTM goes it shows that fuse powers the IDM and PCM relays,as well as IPR power...i'm thinkin the solder thing has took out one or both modules,no communication,has anyone seen this,this one's probly gonna be free,but in my defense,i didn't solder it,that ingenius stunt was done at their fleet shop... Thanks for any ideas

Thanks Kieth...yep,that's the same as what is sittin' in my bay...thinkin both valve covers are coming off,not sure about which way to tackle this piece...for proper installation i'm assuming that both rails are removed,which means 10 new fuel lines and who knows what else... ahhh,the 6.4...not much good to say about it
