Charles, The one question I overlook in my previous email was, 5TH wheel hitch weight? For the middle of the road to high end 5th wheel trailer,the hitch...
Tongue or "pin" weither for a fifth wheel hitch should be 25% of the trailer weight, providing it does not exceded the capacity of the hitch. Maxiumum gross...
Hi Charles, Having a mind block with the math here--what kind of trailer weight can we pull with our F250 diesel with the following door tag #'s? We are...

I don't have any books going back that far for trailer tow recommendations. You are allowed up to 10,000 gross trailer weight on trucks like yours when towing...
Charles, You had mentioned a larger exhaust pipe from turbo to the cat converter/exhaust system, I was wonder what the diameter is? What would this pipe cost?...
The aftermarket downpipe for the 94-97 is 3". Does your van have a flat pipe? Price is around $120.00-150.00, depending on maker. The Amsoil site has...
No flat spots on the pipe, I had hoped it would be a larger diameter. Doesn't sound like it would be any improvement. Thanks for the info on the cooler, I...
I would suggest using a larger downpipe for a newer truck, but I don't know if it would line up properly with the rest of the system. Charles Ledger ASE...
Charles, I have been checking around and hearing about a lot of problems with the 6.0. Most common complaint is that it looses power and can't pull. It will...
The biggest problem on the 6.0 seems to be the EBP sensor. They carried over the same part from the 7.3, but put it closer to the exhaust manifold and...
Charles, I have been reading up on turbos and pyrometer readings. The impression I get is that if I can boost output flow in a controlled manner I can lower...
What lowers the EGT's on the pickups is the intercooler. If you increase boost the only way to take advanatge of it is to increase fuel delivery. You increase...
They think they have, butr others seen to arise. The 05's have only been out since August with some changes from 04, but there are other changes slated for...
The 1999 model year, which was released at the begining of 98, was the first year for the intercooler. Charles Ledger ASE Master--Auto; Advanced Engine...
Hi, I'm new to this list & new to diesels. I joined hoping to learn more. I am considering the F-250 Powerstroke. It will be used primarily as a tow vehicle...
The early engines had problems with the injectors leaking. There also has been programming glitches throughout the 6.0 production run. Some engines have had...

I am told by Ford and have also read that the new brake controller does not work with a trailer that has electric over hydraulic brakes. I do not know if...
It may be the motor/solenoid for the trailer master cylinder draws more power than the controller can provide. The solution may be to have the controller...
We had one truck come in with a problem. I wasn't the one to work on it, but they guy who did said the little trailer icon on the controller was either...
I may be wrong, but isn't the amount of current sent to the brakes controlled by the brake controller? If this is correct a relay/solenoid would not work. ...
That is true. But depending on the relay it may not take high current or voltage to energize it. I'm not sure if the electric over hydraulic brakes require a...
I have a 1996 F-350 powerstroke On the driver side of the fuel filter there is a thing??? Looks like a oil pressure sending unit for a gas engine with a red...
That is a restricted fuel filter sensor/vacuum switch. I don't know if it is available aftermarket. The Ford part number is E8TZ-9S283-A. ... Charles Ledger ...
Dear Sir, we have been in the field of diesel fuel injection systems for quite a few years.(CHINA) Recently we have developed a new kind of h&r, "CH-D90101A=AM...
