A $6,400 DPF replacement quote is high but typical for dealers. Your 2022 Cummins B6.7 may still have emissions warranty coverage for 5 years/100k miles. Consider professional DPF cleaning ($800-1,500) or authorized Cummins dealers before replacement.
Rear ABS sensor at hub or differential depending on system. Remove wheel for access. Use penetrating oil on mounting bolt. Clean tone ring during service.
Service AdvanceTrac on F53 is a known software issue with a Ford TSB update available. Dealer reprograms the ABS module - typically 30-60 minutes. Safe to drive but cruise control and hill assist are disabled until fixed.
Pedal Monster modifies throttle sensitivity, not actual power output. Results on F53 motorhomes are often subtle because the heavy vehicle limits acceleration regardless of throttle response. If you do not notice improvement, return it - it does not add horsepower.
Your 1988 E350 Class C with 460 EFI has spark, fuel pressure, and timing but won't start even with ether - this points to either a faulty Mass Air Flow sensor, clogged injectors, or ECM failure. The fact that ether doesn't help is the key diagnostic clue here.
Your unprogrammed Ford F53 transponder keys will continue working indefinitely, but they lack anti-theft security features. Programming adds immobilizer protection but isn't required for basic operation.
P0339 on 7.3 Godzilla is intermittent crank sensor signal. Since clearing fixed it, monitor for recurrence. Likely sensor beginning to fail - should be warranty covered at 27K miles.
Your engine stalling when rolling to a stop combined with inconsistent transmission behavior suggests issues with idle control, torque converter lockup, or vacuum leaks. The intermittent nature points to specific components that need diagnosis.
E-350 and E-450 use same V10 engine with nearly identical 8-10 MPG fuel economy. E-450 has heavier suspension, brakes, and higher GVWR. Choose based on weight capacity needs, not fuel economy.
For misfire codes on cylinders 5 & 7 in your 2001 Ford E350 V-10, start with the most likely causes: spark plugs and ignition coils. Since you already have these parts, install them first as they're the cheapest fix and most common culprits.
Yes, many 2021+ Ford F53 chassis owners report needing spark plug, coil, and wire replacement well before 20,000 miles due to known quality control issues. Early replacement with quality aftermarket parts often resolves misfires and improves performance significantly.
OBD-II connector is under dash on driver side, left of steering column. Often tucked up and hard to see - use flashlight. May be behind panel or mounted to bracket. Feel around the area as it may be easier to find by touch.
Torque Pro with OBD2 adapter monitors trans temp, engine parameters, and codes. Excellent for RV monitoring. Android only. Setup with custom dashboard.
Your story is a perfect cautionary tale about how ignoring gradual performance decline can lead to catastrophic engine failure. The combination of blocked exhaust flow and oil starvation from running 500 miles with severe backpressure absolutely justified your decision to replace rather than rebuild the engine.
Your 2015 Bounder's Ford V10 crate engine symptoms point to incomplete engine installation/tuning issues, not transmission problems. The shop likely hasn't properly completed the crate engine setup.
