When you get your AE and when you've collected some data let me know. I have an AE and I can give you some example data from a truck that runs good....mine. At least it doesn't have a Warm Start Hot issue any more, now that I've removed the STC fitting and put new standpipes and Dummy plugs in.
I'm just a little less of a novice that you are at using it. It helped me find out my FICM voltage, my EOT's and ECT's and also gave me my ICP readings. On the ICP readings, I installed a mechanical pressure gauge in place of the ICP to get a sanity check on it, but now I trust the AE readings, especially since the truck runs so good now after the repairs. A lot of other guys on the forum will also give you some numbers for comparison.
Good Luck.

 

I have a 2006 f-350 4x4
I cap'd off the erg ,I continiously changing injecters,I only use exxon diesil because of low sulpher, can anyone tell me which is better to use with the feul?
When my truck sits for 5 or more hours it starts right up but has to warm up for 5 mins or more but when its warm its good.

 

Well my as should be here Monday or Tuesday. So does the software give the hauled it's supposed to have or just the values it has at that time. I would imagine most people are like me n as soon as it's all loaded on computer I am going to wanna plug it into truck. So what am I in for?

 

It will just give you the values it has at that time, not a big deal really, you can find most of what it "needs" to be right here. It's pretty straight forward. I have found that you need to connect all of the cables in a certain order. Connect the OBD plug to the OBD port first, then connect the USB cable to the OBD plug, then connect that to the labtop last.

 

K I'll try that when I get it. Where an what should I be looking for the info on what it's supposed to be.

 

I would start by checking out these three items at the same time:

ICP actual
ICP desired
IPR duty cycle.

ICP desired is what the truck would "like" to see for injection control pressure. The "actual" is what the truck is really doing. So if the two of these are different, then there is an issue somewhere. Typically if desired is higher than actual, there is some sort of a high pressure oil leak. The truck needs something like 525psi to fire. At WOT, it should be around 4000psi. You should try and drive to test this out. IPR duty cycle is what the actual IPR valve is doing, if the duty cycle is very high, chances are it's trying to overcome a high pressure oil leak as well.

Typically they'll start when they're cold because the oil is cold and very viscous, making it easier to fire the injectors. As it heats up and thins out, it can now leak out of areas easier, making it hard to start when warm.

the Dog - start a new thread and give us some more details, why are you continuously changing injectors? Fuel is only 1/2 the problem with injectors, oil is the other half. Fuel pressure is key, as well as good oil and oil filters for long injector life.

 

Mine started to throw injector codes like hell when my STC O-ring started to leak. It was bleeding down the HPOP over night letting air in the injectors causing the code.

60 bucks for the kit, 4 hours later and no more problems.

 

I'm leaning toward the oil rail plugs, think 06 was the worst year for them, also one of the easiest things to fix.. classic problem of the Hot No Start for the 06

 

STC fitting is pretty much guaranteed to go out on them at some point too. Why do you say 06 was the worst for the plugs? I thought they all had the same until the updated kit came out? Just wondering if you knew more about this?

Either way, you'd be a fool to dive in and not replace the STC fitting AND the updated dummy plugs/oil rails at that point. I have all of this stuff waiting to go on mine when I get to tear in for gaskets.

Interested to see what the OP finds though.

 

I read it somewhere, they had a list of the most common problems with the 6.0 by year, 05 is the only year with the bad SCT fitting, it was changed for 06 and up and 03-04 had different pump, 06 had the most notorious oil rail plug issues, 03-06 had turbo issues because of no oil return groove in turbo, 07 has it, helps keep sut from forming in oil system in turbo
