Not my specialty for sure. I might try to find some one with the programmer and borrow it for a while to get things back to normal.

 

The first time it blew, was before the programmer, coated the back of the engine with oil, the second time was with the programmer, run mostly on preferred tow with a few runs on the High Performance setting (And yes, no towing on that one), replaced stock program and it was fixed. Now it has been run on nothing but Tow Safe and it blows again. Since it happened prior to programming as well, there seems to be a weak point in the OEM oil line. I've heard that the programmer can increase crankcase pressure which might blow the line, but like I said, it happed prior to programming as well. I know someone else with a 2000 PS and they have never blown a line with or without the programmer and runs 38's (Now Re-geared) and tows a 34' hauler.

Mine blew once, but it was just an O-ring.

 

That or any programmer won't do anything to change oil pressure. That's a bunch of doo-doo (trying to clean up the forum[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img])

A couple of things ahve happened here. Either heat got to the oil lines and/or the oil rings & connections, The tech did not do a proper repair to the first issue, the pressure relief valve is stuck or letting too much pressure pass through the system, and/or you have a bad oil filter.

Change the oil & filter and then take a oil pressure test to see what the oil pressure is at idle and at higher rpm's. Then you can find out if it's an internal issue or poor repair job.

My two cents................[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img] good luck with it

True to your word[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

What size tank are you using? I've thought of that[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] seeing I have 2 aluminum 80s sitting in the garage.

 

I was told a 90 cubic foot model. I got it from a friend of mine, the bummer is that I need him to get it filled and I cant get a hold of him. You need a scuba license to get one filled. You dont have one, do you?

 

Creator, the MODS appreciate that[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

TPR, I would trust what Creator aka: Trasher speaks[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I too, can't see how they are related.

I know with my Bank chip, once I remove it, the truck programs itself back to stock figures. Not sure how it works with the programmer type though[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

As far as warranty coverage, the dealer really needs to prove that the damage was caused by the modifications that were done on the truck. They just can't say no warranty, due to modifications that have been done. Especially, if your problems are "O" ring related. How does one relate to the other???

Does my screen name mean anything[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Im wasnt sure if you were retired from that too. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Im thinking we can work a trade, wheel spacers for you filling my scuba tank?

 

Thanks for the help guys, I have one more resource to check this weekend, friend of a friend who is a diesel mechanic for Ford. He does aftermarket upgrades to them on the side and knows those trucks inside and out.

The Superchips Programmer makes a copy of the stock tuning and stores it on the unit so you can install the performance tuning. When you want to change back, it takes the stock tuning and re-loads it to the computer.
