I don't have to add it that often.

Hell, the GM guy is probably part time.

It was a little low on tran fluid so I added some. That may have shut that code up?
now you tell me...

yes that was the trans code...
so now we are looking at the possibility of the cam sensor being unplugged
or still might be the serp belt...I haven't got a definitive answer on that yet...
depending on the codes...he may still have done something to/with the TCM
guess we'll see.

I knew you were gonna say that. I don't know how I overlooked that tidbit during all of this. It flashed that code that one time and i added fluid and haven't seen it since. Hopefully that's a good thing.

Dang, it's like we're torturing you to get the info out.
Are you a secret agent?

Yeah, the light/code was from the fluid being low. Allison's are bulletproof, but they still need fluid.

I'm amazed the 6.0 didn't break ford.

Ford's diesel engines have been weaksauce, IMHO.
I'm betting that changed in 2011.

I don't hear much about the 6.7 cummins. I guess that's a good thing.
Posted on 5/13/13 at 3:36 pm to DownshiftAndFloorIt
Fords are the most prevalent, so you will naturally hear more about them kicking the bucket. It does seem that they have given up much reliability in the diesel hp wars over the past 10yrs though

Just got an email from TNT.
Truck is fixed and ready to go.

Fix was easy once we found it. Previous shop had left the passenger side intercooler off when reassembling truck. All the black smoke was due to getting zero boost into the intake manifold. We put it back on, cleared codes, verified tuning, and the truck is running good.

Pretty much what I said too. 

Posted on 5/14/13 at 12:38 pm to El Josey Wales
Yeah, that's definitely some good news that you needed.



Posted on 5/14/13 at 12:52 pm to El Josey Wales
So I guess it's no longer for sale?
Posted on 5/14/13 at 12:58 pm to JAB528
It never was for sale.
I can't afford a new one.

I did see Hanmertime's truck in the back.
Posted on 5/14/13 at 1:07 pm to El Josey Wales
It's the one with all the kayak stickers right?
Posted on 5/14/13 at 1:11 pm to JAB528
I didn't see the back windshield but this was across the top of the front windshield.
Back to top
