6.0 needs major troubleshooting...

[airhead426]

So, at 208000 miles my 04 finally started puking white blue smoke. it idles fine but any touch of the throttle and it sputters smoke and dies. It either has major injector problems or I blew the oil seal on my turbo... regardless can anyone point me in the direction of a good shop around columbus or central ohio I can have it towed to so I can have a proper diagnoses done? preferably not a ford dealership lol. I will post a video this afternoon...you can either reply on here or shoot me a text message.

Okay so there is oil in the inlet and outlet side of the turbo with no abnormal play in the turboshaft. Here are all the codes I pulled:
P0046 - Boost control solenoid circuit
P0261 - #1 Injector circuit low
P0264 - #2 Injector circuit low
P0267 - #3 Injector circuit low
P0270 - #4 Injector circuit low
P0273 - #5 Injector circuit low
P0275 - #5 Contribution/Balance
P0276 - #6 Injector circuit low
P0279 - #7 Injector circuit low
P0282 - #8 Injector circuit low
P0284 - #8 Contribution/Balance
P0401 - EGR flow insufficient
P0404 - EGR control circuit
P0405 - EGR sensor A circuit low
P0611 - FICM Performance
P0678 - #8 Glow plug circuit
P0683 - Glow plug control module to PCM communication circuit
Any ideas?

Well, for one, your FICM has had it, so that's the 8 injector circuit low codes and the FICM performance code.

Alright thanks, I've looked at a few online websites that do repairs could you point me in any specific direction? I will have the basic 6.0 kit ordered through thoroughbred diesel mid week as well, includes sinister egr delete new turbo orings and an intake gasket set.

Same thing happened to my FICM. it is toast.

My FICM died back in Feb of 2010 8 days after my warranty ran out
I have a Swamp's 58V, Bulletproof diesel now has FICMs and all of their stuff is top notch, a few members here are running them and they love 'em. You can also order your rebuilt FICM with a FICM tune that will net you a few hp

Ford replaced mine on warrenty. It's the tow bill that sucked. If this one goes I will get a swamps. 58V

Thanks for everyone's help, I ended up buying a Sinister EGR Delete Kit, Sinister Coolant Filtration Kit, and the Swamps 58V FICM with the 100HP PHP tune. I would say AMAZING performance for the money spent.

Good deal. What part of Ohio you located at? I live in carrolton. About 25 mins north of new philidelphia.
