Hello Everyone ... My first post, about my first PSD, not my first problem and probably wont be my last.
My truck: Stock 2007 F250 6.0 XL FX4 w/ 6SPD Man, 30k mi. on new turbo, oil cooler, EGR cooler
My truck's warranty is expiring in about 2500 miles and I wanted to start installing updates/upgrades to prolong the life of it since repair costs seem to be so high when it comes to repairing the 6.0. I started with the coolant filter and decided it was about time I performed my own coolant flush at the same time. When I undid the heater core hose, green coolant puked out (thank you last repair shop!). I performed the coolant flush per powerstrokehelp.com's instructions (with an additional distilled water flush), installed the coolant filter and filled it with ELC. Drove around for a few days and on my commute to work the CEL came on with the following codes: P0069, P0470, P0478, P0299.
After a ton of forum exploring, I decided to check the EBP sensor and tube. The tube was about filled solid with soot and I cleaned it in a warm ultrasonic parts wash, reinstalled with a new EBP sensor & pigtail, cleared codes and drove it for a few days until the CEL came back on again. This time, the only code was P0299. It threw the code coasting downhill w/ the A/C on. Checked the intercooler boots, found a tear in the upper boot, replaced both, checked the EGR valve, it was practically solid in soot, cleaned and reinstalled, cleared code, drove and P0299 came back. Took it to a local shop (no Ford dealer near me) and they said they couldn't really find anything abnormal other than my ICP sensor voltage was super high, they recommended that I change the ICP sensor, which I did, cleared the codes and drove once again only to have the CEL come back on with the P0299 code again. During that drive, I was going uphill while watching live ODBII readings and the truck did some surging/fuel cutout thing @ 210F coolant temp so I backed off and babied it back home.
On Monday it has to go back to the shop but I would like to get some insight from anyone on what this P0299 code could be. Unison ring? Clogged CAT (Im in cali so cant chuck it unfortunately), should I rip out the coolant filter? Any help would be much appreciated and if you need any further explaination, please let me know.
