    Erroneous oil change warning?

    I think Fords are the worst for oil change notifications. Buddy has a 2022 F3500 with under 6000 miles and the truck ask for an oil change every 6 months (we think). There is nothing in the manual so far as when (mileage or time)

    4.3GL VP Fuel Pump Issues

    30 has full time 12V and need to see if 87 gets power when 12V is applied to either 85 or 86. I say either because the manufacture could use either one for 12V and the other is ground. Should be a yell/red wire on one side and black on the other. Apply 12V to yell/red and see if 12V is at 87...

    Penta V6-280 alarm in with DTCs 1155 and 1157

    Welcome The dealer should know better but if they fogged the motor then the fogging oil would have coated the O2 and other sensors. This can cause all kinds of problems. Don't know if the dealer would admit to it if they did. Do check fuel pressure and see if it's 50-60 psi.

    Steering actuator leaking... replaced two years ago...

    In most cases it's the lines or fittings that are leaking. The cooler has next to no pressure on it because it's on the return side.

    Error closed loop gasoline bank 2

    The error with Bank 2 is because there is to much fuel. The excess fuel can be from a fuel system, leaky injectors, bad/no spark, bad connection. The plugs look real clean, when were they replaced? Your motor uses the HVS distributor and the cap has a high failure rate. The cap can look...

    No Spark, feels like I’ve tried everything.

    I don't think it's the coil, but with coil voltage on purple wire switching like the above mentioned is a problem
