[aahbetterauto]

I'm having trubble starting my truck it is an 2006 king ranch 6.0 now it says tbc failed what is that. Yesterday I put fuel filters now this what do I do now please help, man down:please

TBC is nothing to do with the truck not starting... it means "Trailer Brake Fault"

Did you do anything with trailer wiring recently?
Did you short any wires out?

[aahbetterauto]

No sir, I have not used a trailer I was leaving cort yesterday and it shut down I went to to get a can of starting fluied and it started up but I had to keep my foot on the gas peddel or it would shut down

Did you get the fuel filter covers back on tight? Might be sucking air.

#1 problem.. NEVER use starting fluid in this truck!

Ok so the tbc fault is probably a fuse that has something to do with trailer wiring (I think there is like 3-4 fuses total)

Are you getting any codes?

[aahbetterauto]

I greased the new gaskets and made shure the caps were tight as they could go. I was haveing this problem befor I put the filters and thought that the new filters would fix that problem

What kind of filters did you buy

[aahbetterauto]

I put in fram filters

[sinner6.0L]

tbc fault is from excessive cranking. ignore

you were having a problem before it stands to reason the problem got worse. Do you have any way of scanning the truck for codes?

Go get some Motorcraft filters and caps Have you tried emptying the filter bowl then with the cap off turn the key on ( DO NOT CRANK) see how long it takes to fill up the bowl (may need an extra pair of hands cause it should fill up in 2-3 secs) The way these housing are designed they leave very little room for error so aftermarket filters or caps have been known to cause problems. This is also true on the oil side.
If it doesnt fill up that fast you may need a fuel pump or the pickup in the tank is messed up.If that checks out and it still wont start with the motorcraft filters then i would look into injector buzz tests and noid lights
My truck had TBC fault when i had a high pressure oil leak and i was doing some long cranks 15-20 secs i assume it has to do with voltage drop.
