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!

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!
