- How did you know there was a problem with the waste gate actuator? What were the symptoms?

x2 I have one with 240k. and another with 330k both bought new, would not trade them for any new truck. Only issue one cps and one ipr sensor on the 330k truck. So far.

Agree 100 percent! Great Truck/Engine combo. I'd hold onto that one!- I noticed a little bit of worse than normal mileage and the pull out power was a little less but I found it when looking for a vacumn hose break or something because my heater fan was stuck in defrost
and Yes sir blofgren I paid and will use it for a long time only got 102k on it should go another 400k I hope not a speck of rust on the body - If only it had the torque shift tranny. Chris

Me Again = Trolling Again- I had all kinds of expensive problems with my 2003F450 7.3. Oil leaks from the high pressure pump was one.
Front end needed rebuilding, rear end blew.. by 120k it was getting very expensive. FishOnOne wrote:

NOT!
Just suggesting the 7.3 with a Torque Sift would be a great combo!
Just like I would mind putting a G56 behind my 5.9.
Fish,
glad to see you feeling better. :B
That and a $963 repair bill at the dealer is too bad.rhagfo wrote:
