  1. 2023 F350

    Thanks Roy, Funny, My son suggested just yesterday that I might have to wait a bit longer until Ford publishes a more complete DM. That this has been the "new normal" for a few years now. While I maintain brand loyalty to the end, that daily aggravation is not proving Ford loves me as much as...
  2. 2023 F350

    What the hell is Ford thinking with the automatic think-for-you-shit? Do these engineers not drive on country roads, off-the-beaten-path tracks, explore the outdoors? I really get the need for safety but use a seatbelt and auto door locks while on a dirt two-track or taking my garbage down to...
  3. 2019 F-350 Start Switch

    Well, The key and switch work but the thing is getting sticky at the start point. Nothing has been done to it so far. What I am interested in most is what lubricant NOT to use as this is likely a very expensive fix if shoot the wrong stuff into it. Sometimes I wish for times past when the thing...
  4. adjust headlights

    2016 f-350 Is there anything special about this procedure? I put a trailer on and blind the oncoming traffic. I see the vertical adjusting nut behind the bulb. Is there a horizontal adjustment? Thanks!
  5. approaching the 100,000 mile engine

    warranty on the 2011 Super Duty. The motor still runs strong and it certainly is a kick to occasionally blow some unsuspecting sucker off the road while towing a loaded trailer. That engine/tranny is the best thing Ford ever did imho. Those pesky exhaust sensors have been the only issues with...
  6. code 1249

    So, the problem is fixed, maybe. The tech initially felt the turbo was not building pressure properly. He ended up replacingBC3Z 9E882 A Solenoid which was the inoperative wastegate solenoid. He also told the service writer the problem may re-occur due a weak EGR? (I did not have the time to...
  7. code 1249

    Thanks for that! Sounds like the project might get over my head quickly. I suppose its off to the dealer...Is it safe to operate the truck for a week or so?
  8. code 1249

    Well, the check engine light is on with code 1249. I believe this indicates waste gate control valve performance.The truck is a 2011 f250 w/ the 6.7The turbo was dumping pressure normally, now not at all after the engine is shut down.TIA for any constructive advice on the repair.Don Farmer
  9. turn signal problems

    Thanks! It was acting like a faulty bulb from the good old days but the bulb look looked fine. Plugged a new bulb in and it started working fine.This was the first time I got into the cab fuse box and the underhood box, WOW, Ford has certainly found the way to fill every single square inch of...
  10. turn signal problems

    Thanks for the relay suggestion. It is acting up without the trailer hooked up.
  11. turn signal problems

    I'm new here but did use the search feature for an answer to a problem I'm having with my F250/4W/6.7 Powerstroke pickup.The drivers side front, rear and side mirror turn signals work just fine.The passenger side is acting up however. Earlier today when the lever was moved to signal a right...
  12. Hi

    I am a newbie here. We have been a F Series family forever. Currently, the wife's daily driver is a 2003 150 Lariat and I'm in a 2011 250 with the strong diesel package. I need some help with the tech issues now and then and this site seems to be a good group of experienced folks. Don Farmer
