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

If its just sensor hell you're lucky.

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.

If they replaced the sensor, it could easily be a shorted wire. Take a VOM and check the wires to the head temp sensor.

Good idea!

I would invest in a code scanner OR better yet, the OBD tool (plugs in service port)/software that you can monitor real time with your smartphone...

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.

Welcome to the club! Misery loves company.

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.
