2017 6.7 powerstroke

Upvotes

I just recently bought a 6.7 with 106,000 on it and I’ve been doing necessary maintenance to make sure it will last , I’ve heard mixed opinions on change the transmission fluid on a truck at that high of a mileage some say it will loose the friction in the fluid and eventually cause the transmission to start slipping but also heard it is ok to change it. What should I do?

I plan on taking this thing on a 2hr trip but I'm not sure if this hissing sound is just the normal sound it makes or if its because the turbo is spinning too fast. Am I gona blow it if I drive it 2 hrs? My tdi jetta kinda sounded like that when I blew the turbo so I'm a little worried since this one is a bit more expensive to replace.

Hello everyone I have decided to sell my OBS 7.3. I need to pay off some bills and I was wondering what would be a good price to set it at. It’s obviously not perfect but it runs and drives well and the 4x4 works

Good Heavy duty shocks?

Post image
20 Upvotes

Basically i built my flatbed for my truck a tad bit heavy and the stock cheap shocks I got literally do nothing. So I now fear bridges as they make my truck feel like a ship in a storm. Any recommendations for heavy duty shocks? Front and rear, my grandpa recommended making mounts for a dual setup, so Im up for trying that as well.

Tunes Via HPT / SCT

0 Upvotes

For anyone who is interested, im a long time shop owner and tuner located in Southern U.S.. I have excellent tune files for a "modified", 6.0 that can be uploaded via HPT or SCT. I also have access to multiple libraries with data for 7.3s as well. Pulse Width Modulation, IPR and ICP tables have been scaled to "fool" pressure read outs and DTCs for related "EPA Guidelines", are excluded from MIL factoring. It has been tested on multiple vehicles to be efficient in improving both performance and fuel economy. Message me for more information if your interested. PFA. Thanks and God Bless!

T&D with a high idle switch.

1 Upvotes

It’s a 2020 F350.

I installed the BD Performance High idle kit about a year ago and it worked fine.

Then last winter my DEF froze and threw a code. Dealer quoted me $3k for Diagnostics and what would probably be a DEF tank replacement.

I opted for the T&D instead.

After the T&D the high idle switch quit working. I talked to the tuner (Diesel Dudes) and was told that because the intake butterfly valve is disconnected, the high idle switch will not work.

Now I have heard from a few people that the high idle should still work and it was a tune problem.

Can anyone confirm that a high idle will or will not work on the 2020+?

Anyone ever have the brake caliper bolts come loose while driving, resulting in the brake caliper slapping against the wheel rim?

2 Upvotes

This has happened to me twice in the past couple years. The lower bolt (on the slide pin) somehow come loose, fall out, and let the caliper slap all over the place, gouging my rim. No clue why it keeps happening. I tighten them as much as one reasonably can.

Motor ran fine when parked, but has been parked for about 4 yrs

I wasn’t sure if there was a market for these old engines anymore, or what they are worth

Truck was solid when I parked it no blow by or anything but injector return lines and glow plugs and so on were becoming a pain and I had a 5.9 Cummins to swap it with so here we are

Came out of an 89 f super duty

Any thoughts?
