I take the numbers at every fill and put them in my spread sheet and it's pretty close on flat haul, driving like granny clampet empty over a distance.

Has anyone had any luck just replacing the o ring in the older style hose.

So I think if I had read the doom and gloom I would still be driving a GM. My 08 6.4 has only 62k miles and is like show room but it sure makes me nervous even though I have had 0 problems? But seriously I see a million of them around here are they as bad as it sounds?

Oops thought I was starting a new thread about the oil dip stick being hard to read!

Thanks I'll stick with Ford. It pays to ask questions.

Hi all, So I read somewhere that you should only use Ford oil and fuel filters and I forget why. Is this bullsheet cuz they are a lot more money.

Hi all, Does anyone make a 6.4 dip stick that's not so painful to read?

Ha ha don't know how it is down there but an oil change with fuel filters is $400

Thanks awesome I was hoping there wasn't some pitfall that was going to bite me. It seems ridiculous that the shop wants $310 to do it!

Coming from Northern BC I was wondering if it had been idled excessively

Hi all, So eventually I need to replace the top rad hose that leaks a couple of drops a day which is original with the updated hose. It looks no more difficult than pulling the snap ring and pulling it off and snapping on a new one. Anything I should know?

Hi all, So I'm new to Ford and new to diesel. I have an 08 SD 350 that's in show room condition with 62,000 mi and has 2039 hours which would be awesome if it had been driven at 30 mph it whole life, hee hee. The truck came from northern BC where it gets freakishly cold. Anyway I don't think...

That's the kinda post I like. Really awesome.
