    6.7 Powerstroke Diesel Injectors failing at low mileage?

    Update... The Ford tech ran tests and checked everything. Looks like a bad PCM. They are ordering PCM and also changing crank case filter. Not cheap...but cheaper than a new rig. Next will consider fuel pump Update and Def delete (due to recent legislation). I also had truck in years ago...

    6.7 Powerstroke Diesel Injectors failing at low mileage?

    Appreciate it. Let me find another shop and arm them with this situation...maybe they can take a more targeted approach based on what is happening. The last tech said he checked all grounds and wires, etc. Don't know about exact diagnostics though. Either way, will keep everyone updated. No...

    6.7 Powerstroke Diesel Injectors failing at low mileage?

    Just completed a 1,700 mile round trip (camping). Ford paperwork on the P1557 injector doesn't go over any tests, but says changed injector (not pigtail). New injector for P1557 and new injector and pigtail for P1555. After every start I either get P1555, or get both P1557 & P1555. Truck has...

    6.7 Powerstroke Diesel Injectors failing at low mileage?

    Between the two places...I assumed they did. Planet Ford in Spring, TX (P1557 code) has a dedicated truck center...but I don't know. Shop tech said (non dealer - P1555) said he ran a bunch of tests and couldn't do one due to it being a Cab & Chassis. All was functioning good. When I get back...

    6.7 Powerstroke Diesel Injectors failing at low mileage?

    Update...looks like new injector for P1557 is now showing code at every start up. So, P1555 and P1557 now show. I clear and drive. Engine runs smoothly, MPG is good and no smoke. Ford dealer told me bad and replaces (P1557) and they did a PCM refresh which I wonder if it causes the codes to...

    6.7 Powerstroke Diesel Injectors failing at low mileage?

    Appreciate it. Will reclean battery connections to rule that out. I am hoping all that was done. I'll have to look into that to verify if cleaning batteries doesn't help. Will keep thread updated on this. Very much appreciated all.

    6.7 Powerstroke Diesel Injectors failing at low mileage?

    Update to this thread. Had the injector and pigtail replaced for P1555. Got a bad injector replacement and replaced again. All runs good but after every shutdown and restart P1555 keeps coming on. Tech believes PCM is the problem. Truck runs fine and only presents check engine light upon...

    6.7 Powerstroke Diesel Injectors failing at low mileage?

    Been using Archoil...not 100% but most of the time. Have used powerservice anti-gel a couple times when cold. Use OEM fuel filters. Try to get fuel at top tier but sometimes hard when traveling. Truck can sit for months but I usually drive it in between trips. Haven't noticed any engine...

    Have a 2014 F550 6.7 Powerstroke on a motorhome platform. Have been changing fuel fiters, etc. diligently. Last repair, had injector #4 replaced...code was P1558. Fast forward 3,000+ miles later get another code P1555 which indicates injector #5. Truck has 47,000 miles on it. Should...

    Fell for the Old Used Oil in the New Jug....

    I returned some new jugs to Walmart before moving out of state. They checked the seals, etc. before accepting. That is terrible. Really embarrassing that folks do that.

    I've been running PUP 0W40 and finding deals on Amazon (unfortunately). Been doing UOAs switching back from NAPA and Blackstone. Here is a recent UOA from Blackstone. Running white filter (viper). How many miles on yours? Have fun with it.

    First major repair on the 2019 RAM

    Just had my water pump go bad on my 2018 Hellcat. 42,000 miles. Was covered under my extended warranty. No leaks just a groaning which I thought was supercharger at first. Sthescope confirmed water pump. Tech said pump movement was bad. All good now. Hoping it lasts longer than 42,000 miles.
