    If it's a 6.0 it might have a blown head gasket. Check the water level in the radiator, I had a 07 that blew the head gasket and it did the same thing to me, coolant goes out the exhaust which reads a misfire in the cylnders. Hopefully thats not the case for you

    Not sure if you're on The Diesel Stop, but I'm sure they know who the good ones are.

    Sensors are a bitch. But if there's nothing mechanically wrong, you're in luck.
    I hope it's just electrical.

    I posted there earlier today.

    Good idea!

    Was there any actual sign of the truck really getting hot OR do you suspect electronics/sensors/wiring?

    I would think that there would be codes for o2 sensors if there was an injector issue and the misfire issues if it was a really bad misfire... Just a guess...

    Not much you can do these days without a good scan tool...

    Hi, Bruce. Here are some links for Torque Pro. http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13746_7...p-for-android/ http://torque-bhp.com/wiki/Main_Page http://torque-bhp.com/obdforum/obd2/...iewforum/f/1.0 http://www.obdii.com/ Have fun.


    I'll look into it a scan tool. I had one for my Chevy.

    It didn't seem to be getting hot and when Tri-Tec monitored it with their computer it was showing normal temps.

    It's a V10. I didn't buy a 6.0 because I didn't want problems. Go figure!

    I had a Ford once. Once. That was enough. Never go back. BTW, sorry for all your troubles. Hope it gets better.

    You visit ford-trucks.com yet?
    You can find it as ford truck enthusiasts too, or fte.com I think...
    A TON of help there.
    Many techs that know lots and share lots.
    Helped and saved me many times.
    Good Luck
