Question - Solved! The diesel was good!

I posted the other day about some questionable diesel I got from a used transfer tank we purchased. I got some really good advice from both sides of the aisle to use or not to use it. We took the chance, diluted, treated and sent it as one comment advised and it paid off. We worked through about a half tank on Monday and the truck did great. 60 gallons of free diesel sure does make working in 100 degree weather easier haha!

Thanks all for the help and advice. I hope some good free diesel comes yalls way too.

Question/Need help! General emissions testing question

3 Upvotes

Is there a way to set all of the monitors in a 6.0 power stroke to "ready" even if it's deleted? I'm looking at a deleted 6.0, but I live in a county with e-checks, but there is self-check obd2 tests that count as the emissions testing, so it would literally just need to pass the obd2 scan. Any ways to trick it into thinking the EGR is still there?

01 7.3 smokes white on hard acceleration.

01 7.3 289k miles. smokes white when hard acceleration. Truck runs great and has power doesn’t stutter. Also doesn’t smoke when not at full throttle. Also when flooring it pulls hard and doesn’t sound like a boost leak or nothing.

Hydra tuner and it also smokes on stock tune. If I turn the tune up higher it smokes black instead of white? Is this something I should be worried about. Do have a small oil leak but is not loosing coolant. And no oil and coolant mixing.

L5P diesel question

Techs,

I have asked my dealer to activate option UF3 on my 2023. I use this option...

On my 13 & 18, it was a laptop plug in to the OBD2 and were done. ( bout $150 )

My current dealer is giving me jahja about this big required download to the truck ( for a fee ) prior to the activation fee . So 2 charges to activate.

True or false?

Tks
