I got an 04 F250, its got 6" fabtech, K&N intake, after market turbo and exhuast. Im told the dealer ship dont warranty unless I run their Cetain or something? I also hear its great for the motors to mix in 2 stroke oil with deisel? Also what you doing with Oil cooler problems and Egr problems to prevent seriouse issues?

now that there is cali smog, it really screws you on fixing any of the issues with the egr. all you can do is a egr delete(won't pass smog), or keep an eye on it and replace it when it starts leaking. not sure on the rest. ask awhotrods to chime in.

The EGR system on the 6.0 is garbage and needs to be removed. RCD makes a nice kit, keep the oil clean & cooler/injectors last longer.

I add roughly 0.5oz/gallon to every tank TC W3 ashless 2stroke oil from walmart and what ever the diesel kleen says per galon. I have ran it in my 01 7.3 powerjoke, my 00 24valve dodge, my 04 common rail, and my 97 12 valve. it has improved mpg on all of them when i run it.

Just got an Adrenalin Iquad through Quadzilla, a cooler filter kit, and Elites up pipe blocker. Can't wait to see power difference ..

You should also get a monitor to keep an eye on your EOT/EWT. BPD make good stuff to replace your EGR and oil coolers and keep you emissions legal too.

SloCrawler · « **Reply #9 on:** Mar 28, 2012, 11:33:10 AM »

What are those EOT, EWT? Im pretty sure I can read them through the Iquad, and set alarms to make sure they don't go over.

mudmaster · « **Reply #10 on:** Mar 28, 2012, 12:06:40 PM »

EOT: Engine Oil Temperature
EWT: Engine Water Temperature

These 2 readings should not be more than a 15* delta once warmed up and at aprox 65MPH. As they get closer to the 15* delta it's an indication that your oil cooler may be starting to plug up and will eventully take out the EGR cooler also.

This site has a lot of good info: http://www.powerstroke.org/

Ah yes. That's why im getting elites blocker and cooler filter to help with this and maintain a stock apperiance..

mudmaster · « **Reply #12 on:** Mar 28, 2012, 12:11:26 PM »

Just and FYI if you don't already know EGR deletes, block offs, etc are not emissions legal. If you have to test you may fail......

Just installed iquad. So far good. Got 10 different power levels with the push of a botton

Adrenaline in level 6 will burn my tires. That's only 30 extra hp according to the book . You guys got any recommendations on what coolant to use when I flush my system and add filter. I heard there alot better ones that won't flash buil when your hammering down.

SloCrawler · « **Reply #15 on:** Aug 14, 2012, 01:18:09 PM »

People are using 1/2 oz of ashless 2 stroke oil per gallon of desiel..

SloCrawler · « **Reply #16 on:** Aug 14, 2012, 01:19:47 PM »

What coolant you guys replacing the stock stuff with?

mudmaster · « **Reply #17 on:** Aug 14, 2012, 06:23:00 PM »

Lately i have had the worst luck ever, Some kids on their way to school couldnt see my ford with sun in their eyes. Sheered my shackle hanger off the frame and ripped axle out, broke to of the leafs in half and smashed in my bed.

Ouch, that's no good.

Wow! That sucks. Trucks not totaled is it?

SloCrawler · « **Reply #21 on:** Nov 12, 2012, 01:05:43 PM »

Still waiting to hear from the shop, possible bent frame, the truck was in park with no Ebrake on and got pushed about 5 feet, so possible tranny damage also. This has literally been the worst week of my life, one thing after another. Hope my luck turns around soon.

superyota · « **Reply #22 on:** Nov 12, 2012, 03:27:14 PM »

Your truck was parked? Geese! Sorry buddy.

I won't damage the trans, it may break the pin but the trans would still be Ok. As long as the pinlock is still good it probably only slid on the locked tires.

Is your toyota getting a 6.0 td soon?

SloCrawler · « **Reply #26 on:** Nov 13, 2012, 08:35:24 AM »

Insurance just called $6000talking in damage. Getting new bed side, new rear axle ,1new spring pack and all the stuff in between. Im having them double check tranny only because the same thing happend to a friends truck and the tranny went out a month later .

superyota · « **Reply #27 on:** Nov 13, 2012, 08:41:51 AM »

Ouch! That's not as bad as I was expecting. They are only replacing the bedside or the entire bed?

Take it down to Sierra auto body on 4th st and talk to butch. He's a good guy and one of the only body guys I would trust to do a good job.

SloCrawler · « **Reply #28 on:** Nov 13, 2012, 09:53:10 AM »

im good friends with the sale manager at Mullahey so I had them come get it. Just the one bedside they said

SloCrawler · « **Reply #29 on:** Jan 02, 2013, 07:22:30 AM »

Got truck back the other day, Ended up with new axle and all hardware hooked to it, 2 new bed sides, 2 new rear tires and a few other new bed peices and tail lights. Was a little over $7k in damage and took 7 weeks to fix but im pleased with the work. I noticed a small click in My D60 front axle on drivers side whenever i hit a big bump, any thoughts? also my fan seems to have lost some power, Im going to call up imsuriance and see if theyll take a look. Heres a pic at the beach and a flex shot with my daughter
