Any other thoughts on programmers or fuel economy with these 6.0 mistakes?

or post to this site.
Thanks
It behaves as if there's not a drop of fuel in the tank.
my mechanic replaced the high pressure oil pump, said it lost pressure when hot, but that didn't solve the problem.
Any ideas?
As a test, you might try thicker oil or adding some Lucas etc. to your oil to increase it's viscosity.
Hope this helps.
Yes I did with my Alternator, follow your leads coming off it as somewhere on one of them its grounding out on the motor. The cable will rub through down to the wire and short out the Alternator. As far as starting it could be a number of things. It could be bad Oil, old Oil or not the right type of oil. It could be the O-rings, I just got a set for my 7.3 and need to replace them this weekend. Does it do it as much when you first change your oil ? IF it does not give you a hard time after you just changed your oil then more than likely its your O-Rings on the Injectors. hopefully you are using Shell Oil in your truck, if not change it out to Shell also under 150,000 miles you can go 5000 miles and if over 150,000 you should be changing it every 3000 miles.
Hopefully that helps,

6.0 blown egr coolers and head gaskets problems. you can find out what channels they went to get their problem solved, worse comes to worse you can check us out here at outlawdiesel.net .

Thank you!!
but it could just be a dirty fuel filter.

How long ago did you change your oil and is the oil on the dipstick ? The higher the mileage you get on these you really need to change it every 2500 to 3000 miles and make sure you don't have leaks.
Will have up ticks in power while driving, will drop to low power mode when making a turn or stopping and accelorator will quit. Only happens when I am running the vehicle for the first time that day. After that, drives perfect at all other times.
Have had it in two dealerships. Both stated code comes back "low fuel pressure". First dealership changed fuel filters and this worked for awhile. Second dealer "thinks" it needs a new IPR (Injection Pressure Regulator).
Other forums mention FICM, ICP...........................
Drove it last night 10 miles to town.....surged up and down the entire ride and was difficult to start after one stop at a store. Had dinner, drove it 10 miles home and it was perfect....
It was in park when this happened. He tried to immediately re-start, but it was completely dead. Called FORD road side assistance and they sent a tow truck. While waiting for the truck, he again tried repeatedly to start the truck, to no avail.
Murphy's law, as soon as the tow truck got there, the truck magically started. He shut it off and restarted several times in front of the driver before deciding to let the driver go with our apologies.
The next day while sitting at a stop light, the truck AGAIN just simply turned off. Would not turn back on. He had to push the truck out of the intersection. The same tow truck guy came and took our truck 45 miles to the closest FORD dealership.
I'm posting this on a Thursday, and they have had the truck since last Friday. They called us on Friday to say there was nothing wrong with the truck. We told them there certainly was something wrong. They said they ran a diagnostic test and there was an error on the first message, but it disappeared when they ran it again. That there was nothing they could find wrong on the truck.
Because we are towing with our family, safetly is a concern. We live 4.5 hours from here. My husband inquired if the truck suddenly turned itself off while we were going down the highway, would that effect the breaks. They said yes.
He said go with what the first error message said and fix it. Safety first.
They said they'd order the part.
Of course, the campground needed their site back so we had to hire a tow vehicle to move our 5th wheel to another site in the mean time. We settled into the new spot hoping that we'd be hearing from FORD on Monday that everything was fixed.
They called on Monday and said they replaced the part that came up as an error, but when they took the steering wheel off, they found another broken part, that they'd have to order. Long story longer, next day the incorrect part came in so that put fixing off by yet another day.
They finally called yesterday afternoon (Wednesday) to say it was fixed and they were driving it back to us as we speak. 15 minutes later they called to say it turned off again on their driver in route to us and was being towed back to the dealership.
After a lot of venting (thank you) has anyone out there had this sort of trouble with their F250 diesels? They can't seem to figure it out and we are going broke sitting here waiting.
Many thanks for your time! cdh
but year and make would help?
