That's a 6.4, not a 6.0. That truck was in regen mode to clean the DPF. Stupid idea to begin with but whatever. The emissions stuff (cats, EGRs, DPFs) just cause trouble. Get rid of em, then head stud the 6.0, and you're set.

Had to have it towed back to one of the dealerships. My husband went to lunch with coworkers, and the truck wouldn't start when they returned to the vehicle. The dealership will let me know what's up in a day or two.

wamster Champion Author Houston Posts:4,261 Points:695,905 Joined:May 2007	Message Posted: Sep 15, 2009 9:23:54 AM Ignore wamster Report Abuse Not a month went by (August 23) and had to have the 2006 F-250 4x4 towed again! My husband got partway to work this time; and the engine would rev up, and then he would have the pedal to the floor and the truck would crawl. Now it's spewing out white and blue smoke. Towed it back to the dealership. They're telling me if it's the EGR cooler or something, it's $5000 to fix! The diesel diagnostic is running me $280.

It will keep your carbon deposites down and your trucks MPG up. Your engine will run & idle smoother too...

wamster Champion Author Houston Posts:4,261 Points:695,905 Joined:May 2007	Message Posted: Aug 23, 2009 8:14:47 AM Ignore wamster Report Abuse Had to have the 2006 F-250 4x4 diesel towed out of the driveway yet again! Bad fuel injector control module this time. Even Consumer Reports lists lots of problems with the 2006 diesel.
wamster Champion Author Houston Posts:4,261 Points:695,905 Joined:May 2007	Message Posted: Jul 6, 2009 8:01:27 AM Ignore wamster Report Abuse Had the darn F-250 diesel crew cab 4x4 towed from my driveway to the Ford dealership. Won't start, bad EGR valve. Had is replaced, all at no charge since it's still under the 100,000 mile warranty. However, have an electrical problem where it won't start occasionally. Have to get under the hood and jiggle wires. Have to take it back to Ford and get it fixed. My stepson says he wants to take over the payments so I can get something else. He knows the problems with it but wants to anyway.

wamster Champion Author Houston Posts:4,261 Points:695,905 Joined:May 2007	Message Posted: May 14, 2009 9:16:02 AM Ignore wamster Report Abuse Multiple fuel injector problems. 2 one day, had to drive 40 miles next day when the 3rd one went bust. Have 82,000 miles on 2006 F-250. Can't wait to dump this monster as soon as it gets closer to the 100,000 mile warranty being up. If you purchase a warranty -- get the Ford warranty only! The dealership I went to originally sold me their dealership warranty and it has been a nightmare!

EXOC Rookie Author Houston Posts:13 Points:360 Joined:Nov 2008	Message Posted: Nov 7, 2008 10:39:08 AM Ignore EXOC Report Abuse Besides, headgaskets, egr valves, egr coolers, oil coolers, turbo and injector failures and fuel tank liners comming apart they are great trucks. Take it from someone who has to work on these turds everyday, if you own one and the 100k warranty is up, dump it. Of course alot of the problems are caused by people failing to maintain the truck and then over loading the truck.
