at 100100miles the egr cooler went out, they would not cover under warranty cause it was 100 miles out. This was last year..
16,000 miles and one year later it went out again, had it fixed out of state, cost $2900. Now they said it was not covered warranty cause it had a one year warranty and it was 10 days past...
I am not very happy..
Long story short , right under the palstic covers around the steering column, the tow haul switch wire was shorting out on a bracket that it routes to tightly around,
I reroyuted to give the wire some slack , and small peice of electrical tape over the bare wire, which solved it, something defferent on mine was it would blow a fuse, i cannot remeber the fuse number though, maybe 34 or 43,or 41 ? and the manual for that fuse is incorrect .
so to be clear the wire shorted about 4 inches from the base on the tow haul switch arm.
Hope this helps, and good luck

Hoping you found your solution, so that I can copy.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Had a mech. friend of mine told me about a kit that blocks off the cooler.Is this a good idel ? At 3,000 bucks every 60,000 miles this is getting old fast. Is this a problem everybody that owns a 6.0 goes through ? The mech. at ford even said this is a piece of crap engine.Got it out of shop 4 days ago and engine light came on this afternoon !Where would I go on the web to see if there is any kind of re-call from ford on this issue? Thanks for the help.
I had a similar problem with my 2004 6.0 liter. No help from Ford in diagnosing the problem UNTIL I finally got one of the local Ford mechanics to spend a lot of time on the engine. Please read my 9/9/09 post # 694 for details.
But in summary, apparently I had a bad electrical connnector causing a periodic loss of oil pressure as I understood it.
While under warranty Ford had replaced accelerator system, etc. once the electrical connector was replaced (about 2 years ago) nothing seemed to help until they replaced this wiring connector. since then, I have never had another problem with the truck going to idle and no accelerator response.
Good luck.

my other 7.3 1990 is still going with over 600k miles on it...one motor change and two junkyard transmission installs...F irst O n R ace D ay!
I have a 95 F350 7.3. Does anyone know where there is a fuse on top of the block. I have been having trouble starting the motor. After it starts it will lope until you give it fuel. I found the fuse before by accident and changed it and it fixed the problem, but I think it blew again. Now I can't remember or find it again. Any ideas
Thanks
