2005 f350
 

Hello all! I have a 2005 f350 and while pulling a trailer the other day I heard a pop and lost all power. Dropped the trailer and limped it home with just enough power to get it home, went out to start it and now it wont start. Warranty run up 3 weeks ago any suggestions? thanks in advance

Can you give us some better details on it?

when i tried accelerating it fluttered and blew some white smoke. has 94,000 miles on it, i have had it 4 7 months and only put 4,000 miles on it

might have had your EGR cooler blow up on you? did it blow lots of white smoke while NOT on the throttle?

no only when accelerated, im stumped

check all your boots, intercooler boots, turbo boots, etc...

i would bet that you just blew a boot off, i have seen that numerous times, i think its BD POWER that makes a new clamp kit, if it is your boots blowing off anyways

it did throw a code 4 low boost, would that make it not start at all?

i checked the blue boots they were all intact

possibly? 6.0's tend to be quite tempermental, :humm: hell man i don't know? hopefully someone else will chime in here soon and help you out, maybe a headstud issue?

A loud pop and loss of power is almost always an intercooler boot blown off.

Since you say you dont see it, take them all off and make sure they're not ripped on the bottom. Sounds like the issue.

I had the same thing happen to me at 65k mls. it scared the s@#t out of me I thought the whole thing blew up. it was the lower blue boot on the pass. side into the intercooler, a rip on the bottom side. I lost power, but it would start and idle, I found it by running my hand along the boots with the truck idling. I was not towing just driving up the mountain roads. I put some new boots on it from ford... I did not want to take it in for a warranty as I do not trust my "friendly ford dealer" here in the desert. now I'm starting to see an oily film from around the clamps that hold them in place ??? at 95k on the truck, any possibilities as to what might cause this.:argh:
