1 - lift pump... replaced with another stock one for now- temporary fix
2- axle seals are leaking in the front axle- fixed
3- alternator goes on the coldest morning we have all year- fixed
4- tranny exploded in the middle of an intersection of traffic when i was turning left - will be fixed by monday

 

That's what I'm talking about. It's nice to see that I am not crazy but these trucks love to break down in the worst places. Oh yeah, and when I blew my VP out of town I had to get towed by a powerstroke to a diesel shop. Driving in my rental car following my truck I said I am glad this happened out of town so that none of my friends could see my truck get towed by a P-joke.

 

1-Clutch is going out-not fixed yet
2-Pilot bearing is shot-waiting on new clutch and transmission to fix this one
3-Blew the turbo to pieces on the way to work Friday-Parts are on the way!!

 

1. Time for an Air Dog
2.Should have never paid the guy I did to build my transmission-it's been back to his shop 12 times in the last year and a quarter. Seems like he drives it more than I do
3. After alot of money, nothing muh else to report as of right now- oh I almost forgot-I need MORE POWER

 

Lets see, headlight switch starting to act up, though the dreaded P0216 code last week, one power seat motor not working, right headlight has moisture in it, rearend make a popping noise when going in reverse at low speeds, cracked windshield and just last night the rear view mirror cracked.

 

I need to change my motor oil

 

tick, tick, tick your clock is ticking

 

rearend make a popping noise when turning in foward or reverse at low speeds
needs tie rods and a better designed steering box
seat motor quit dash trim bezle is broke
quadzilla's FP sender says 3 psi at idle and as soon as u get on it it says 14 psi (junk)
hi beam light on dash stays on with headlights off (no idea) searched for hrs looking for a reason why

gets 10MPG 100 % biodiesel and 13 on diesel

 

As for your clunking noise in the rearend. Drain all your oil and replace it with some good fluid meant for the limited slip rear end. You can then add an additive also if you want and it kind of acts as an adjustment if you will. Then just add it till you like how sticky or "clunky" you want it.
The guy that had my truck before me must have put regular stuff in because I had one wheel peel till I did what I just wrote above.

 

Hmmm...

Just replaced shocks all the way around...

Just replaced the clutch hydraulics (master & slave units)...

No steering issues...

No engine issues...

No driveline or transmission issues...

VP44 is closing in on 100K miles and still going strong...

No error codes...

Getting 15-17 MPG in the winter and 21-23 MPG in the summer...

Maybe I'm just lucky... :confused013:

 

By the looks of it, you are.

 

1. quad cab door handles need fixed. (linkage came apart inside the doors)
2. steering needs fixed, wanders and lotta play in the wheel.
3. needs tires $310 a piece
4. needs a clutch bad because my box puts out too much power for the stocker to even attempt to handle and slips it on demand.
5. need to fix engine oil leaks. does not drip in the driveway, but it sure is messy lookin under there!
6. drivers side heated seat not working.
7. needs minor body work and a new paint job.
guess im doin ok for 204,000miles

 

Heated Seats? I thought my truck had all the options. Where is the switch to turn them on located?

 

The 6" stack that's 3 weeks old gives me a headache...............................but it's still cool!

 

I don't have enough money to do what I want to it.....

 

Lets hear about your problems. We don't care about your "wants" here!

 

what happened to all the 5.9's not having problems

 

they just have so many problems because they break everything from all the power arty018:

 

I have to replace my pinion seal...thats it in 62,000 miles no other repairs...very ,lucky indeed

 

my steering box has leaked for about 3 years.

 

if you started this in the 6.7 forum, this thread would be 200 pages long. lol

 

How do you figure that ?

 

1) Replaced dead battery last weekend so that's good now.
2) Passenger Side Lower Balljoint is going, but not excessive yet.
3) Windshield has 2ft crack, low and outa view.


Not bad for 2002 4x4 3/4ton with 125,000.

 

Not bad at all krazymoon, not bad at all. Do you have any mods or are you stock?

 

Just has the mileage max and 4" exhaust from turbo to tip. edit: oh forgot, put the BHAF on it too. Was real lucky, the guy I got it from babied it and pulled a horse trailer on occasion. Gave 16,7k for it to pay off his loan. I do believe he told me that the first year he had it he had the fuel pump issue and the dealer ripped it completely out and installed new. He said corporate wanted all parts to analyze the problem.

Not the best pic, I put a hard tonneau and tube side steps on it since.

Sorry, back on topic one other thing I forgot is brokeneedfixing is the sunglass holder in the over head (cant' figure out where to get it) and the spring on my middle console.

 

I've got a CR but we still have problems too.
1. Replaced governor pressure solenoid.
2. Dealership replaced my 48RE no questions asked. (I didn't even mention getting it replaced. All I wanted was the solenoid replaced again.)
3. Misc. leaks need to be fixed.
4. Need rear u-joints.
5. Blew my rail pressure relief valve a couple days ago. Need a rail cap and a rail pressure gauge.
6. Need to fix a hanger on my exhaust.
7. Need to fix my empty wallet.

 

dont we all.

breaks
dash
some other small parts i cant think of

 

Ok, I know I prolly should not post in here about my turck, but i thought i would so you could see what other truck are having issues with.

its had 4 sets of injectors
water pump
guage cluster
driver side hub and inner tierod end.
I.C. pipe due to power steering lines rub threw.
that might make some of you guys happy

 

I just got sick today out of the blue. But, you just made me feel better.:thumbsup:

 

I've had to repair or have someone repair on mine...

VP44 (Intank pump was put in at the same time, all under warranty)

Gov Pressure solenoid and transducer (warranty)

Rebuilt the front steering (It needed ball joints and tie rods so I decided to do it right the first time and replace everything)

Resealed the Vacuum Pump

New driveshaft u-joints

New belt, batts, alt, tensioner, and water pump.

Two brake jobs

On my third set of tires now

Truck has 146K miles on it now, been pretty good to me. Most of the stuff I replaced I knew it would need eventually.

 

1- had 53 block that cracked and tranny was totally dead. 10k later all mint
2-lift pump died. fixed with a airdog150
3-needs 2 new tires on back to stop the shaking 500$ still unfixed
4-cracked exh manifold. still unfixed
5-rear driveshaft ujoints and carrier bearing. fixed

 

Man I feel sorry for you. Your first problem cost more than all 21 of mine combined.

 

1) injection pump/lift pump replaced. both made it 175,000 miles.
2)track bar steering stablizer
3)grid heater solenoids
4)thermostat.

theres a few other small things im forgetting. but i dont have a problem replacing those parts. its somethin everytruck will have to have over time an wear an tear. im the second owner when i got it at 173,000 miles it already had the batterys, alt., and starter replaced.

 

170,000 and my tranny is starting to go out. time to start saving for georend!
every mother with small children on my street loves to assault me when i creep by at 5mph claiming i am driving wrecklessly

 

I know exactly what your talking about! I get people running down their driveway at me yelling to slow down. I have learned to stop now and that kind of startles them, I shut the truck off and stick my head out the window and tell them to not mistake LOUD with FAST I was going 30 and that is the speed limit. Start the truck and go. No problems for awhile now.

 

ABS light and break light on. HELP
Need shocks and all new joints.
fuel gage works when its wants. HELP
quad cab door not working.
drivers front turn signal fell off on the road.
Wife wants me to paint the truck.
