5 times at the other dealership and all they did was replace the coolant bottle. He asked, Now where did you take it to before and how many times? He said he put his gauges on it and drove it twice and new the head gaskets were gone and after actually pulling the other components off he could see and took pics of how bad the oil cooler and EGR was. This was actually a HUGE relief, the truck is still under warranty and every single thing is covered. The degas bottle cap is not holding pressure, the oil cooler is clogged and the EGR cooler is shot as well as the head gaskets are blown. Well the clutch fan isn't engaging and only holding 75% load.
morning the diesel tech calls me and says. Worth, 15mins further than the other dealer so not much of a big deal. Long story short I had heard about Texas Motors Ford just outside of Ft. Didn't think so, it wasn't going to happen anyway. Is the dealer going to pay for ANY damages at all if they occur. Do you trust them that much to be able to not damage it. So, you want me to bring a brand new $90k trailer so your guys can just. I actually laughed at him over the phone and said. They couldn't replicate problems, couldn't find any leaks (no kidding cause the engine is drinking it) the last time they even wanted me to bring my new Key Largo to them so they could tow it around to see if the truck overheated. Well like I said, I kept taking it to our closest dealership and it kept coming back the same.
The truck has 73k on the clock and 90% of those have been towing some decent loads. Kept taking it in to the dealership with the same problems Running hot while towing, puking back through the degas bottle, drinking coolant, and some other minor problems. At time of publishing, a Ford branded remanufactured EGR valve cost $145 USD, whereas a new o-ring and gasket set could be purchased for just over $10 USD.Well I was having problems with my truck for a good 6 months or so (2007 F350 6.0L). there are no electronic issues with the solenoid, cleaning the EGR valve is an affordable repair method with a high rate of success.
P0404 - Exhaust gas recirculation circuit range/performance (many possibilities, one of which is the valve position is not matching that commanded by the PCM)Īs long as the valve is mechanically stuck/sticking, i.e. P0402 - Excessive EGR flow detected (valve sticking/stuck at or near the open position) P0401 - Insufficient EGR flow detected (valve sticking/stuck at or near the closed position) EGR valve issues should trigger one of the following codes: This is typically accompanied by excessive black smoke exiting the tailpipe, rough idle, running rough at low RPM, and all around low power/response. An EGR valve that sticks in the open position provides maximum EGR flow into the incoming air stream. If performance tunes or other injection modifications give your truck a tendency to produce more smoke, the same soot is passing through your EGR system.Īn EGR valve that sticks in the closed position provides no EGR flow into the incoming air stream and noticeable symptoms are typically low, although this has been known to contribute to an over-boost condition. Consider this - what comes out of your tailpipe must also pass through the EGR valve. Modified engines be more susceptible to EGR valve clogging concerns due to a greater production of exhaust soot. We recommend 6.0L Power Stroke owners service their EGR valve every other oil change or once per year - this is typically routine enough to avoid complications, although some engines suffer from more persistent problems.
