    Fuel milage getting worse

    so i had the same MPG symptoms as you described. I also noticed a lot more smoke on acceleration. so I did some looking online and saw a lot of other 6.4 owners describing similar stuff and attributing it to the EBP sensor. I had my mechanic just replace it as it was cheap and no more smoke and...

    advice on going to a single turbo, SCT

    yeah i kinda lucked out on this one, but i do still smell the faint smell of oil when i get out of the truck. so i'm sure it's only a matter of time till those turbos have issues. yeah i assumed the single turbo was the best option when the stockers let go. but i guess the road manners aren't...

    advice on going to a single turbo, SCT

    i wanted to update this thread with the results, (as i know many guys dont bother once the issue is fixed.) i brought the truck to the dealer and they were zero help. did my own research on this site and found alot of guys had mixed issues related to the EBP sensor. youtube had some vids about...

    advice on going to a single turbo, SCT

    sounds like good advice. i appreciate it very much. I will take your advice and brnig the truck in to be fully diagnosed too. in the event the turbos do need to be pulled and/or replaced, would you advise to simply replace them with OEM equipment?

    advice on going to a single turbo, SCT

    i have an '09, 6.4 wiht 140k on it and it's showing 3 codes on my Minimax, all 3 are turbo related. it was at the dealer a few months back (for an unrelated issue) and the diesel tech said there was "moisture" around the turbos but no obvious issue. So i'm thinking the turbo seals are starting...

    2009 powerstroke with noise on startup

    Could it be a leak somewhere in the intake tube? sounds like air getting sucked in. i'd first make sure all the clamps are tight and no obvious leaks on the new intake tube. i'm sure someone smarter than me will chime in soon who's had the same or similar isues. good luck

    08 alternator

    i only have the single alternator but had heard the same stories about aftermarket alternators causing the bettery light to stay on. I had my mechanic install a NAPA unit adn have had no battery light and no issues at all with it for many years now.

    Alarm system/Remote Start

    i just added a Viper Alarm with the auto-start feature to my '09, i was getting nervous as my '06 superduty was stolen. i think this Viper has a mile range and works really well. i had it installed at a local shop. it was around $600 for everything. the key fob I opted for is pretty simple, just...

    used Cooper ST MAXX 35x12.5R20

    i wasn't super impressed with the tread life....but to be honest i am not religious about rotating them, so i'm partly to blame. They were very good in the snow last year as far as traction and very quiet but that's compared to the Nitto Trail Grapplers and Toyos I've run in the past. I feel...

    used Cooper ST MAXX 35x12.5R20

    So i got new tires and these are the old ones. None have any plugs or anyting wrong with them. My mechanic said 2 will pass Pennsylvania inspection but the other two are questionable. I don't know if anyone needs them. i have a loading dock at work so i can put them on a pallet and ship them...

    Loud Whistling, flute type noise? need help! (vid included)

    ok thanks for the feedback, i'll try to repost this video, not sure whay it's not working. but once you hear it, you'll see how distinct it is. it sounds like it's coming from steering box, but it's hard to tell. it seems to be louder once the truck has been fully warmed up.

    Loud Whistling, flute type noise? need help! (vid included)

    I've posted this on another site but i'm not getting any response so maybe no one's ever heard this noise befroe? I'll expain...I've had this loud very odd squeal/chirp and i can't locate where it's coming from. I've searched the forums as well as Youtube to see if anyone has a similar sound...

    2010 radiator leak?

    Passenger side bottom I think. It's hard to really see exactly but the puddle of coolant is there, same spot the last one that cracked. This rad is only 4 months old too. I had new body mounts installed after the first one cracked too. Not sure if I made the wrong decision with the alradco...
