Thanks for posting that positive report. As a fellow 6.0 owner, what was the diagnosis and fix?
Please pardon the delay. Where I am now we have no internet and have t go to the library. They had to replace the ERG valve which caused the white smoke and the loss of fluid. That was the main problem. I asked them about the ERG by-pass kit and they said that if I was going to keep the truck long term, then that would be a good thing to do, but they could not do it because they were a Ford dealership.
Here is a list of things I remember them doing. Some I asked them to check since they had the truck.
Found a leak in the turbo which might have caused a limp mode fault a while ago. There is a duct that runs to the turbo on the drivers side that had some holes in it. They had to remove some stuff to get to it.
Ran a full diagnostic. Updated software.
Fixed the rear dually tire that another Ford dealer put on so I could not get to the valve.
Replaced coolant.
