My check engine soon light came on last night for the 3rd time since truck was new . [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] The other 2 times the tech just cleared the computor because there was not a code that was shown. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img] Seems to run just fine but am wondering what are the most common causes or codes for this on the 6.0. On other trucks I have had in the past it was the result of something as simple as a sensor. Anybody have some wisdom ?
Thanks
My VGT sensor keeps going bad on my truck tripped engine light twice now dealer says need to replace turbo. It keeps eating these VGT sensors in about a weeks time

Mine has been into the dealer 5 times for this. First two times they also told me they couldn't find any codes. Last 3 times they have replaced parts, air inlet temp sensor, EBP(2x), EGR valve.
Got the call today, Ford is buying it back.

Mine comes on about every 4,000 miles. Last time it was a "throttle positioning valve" this time who knows. In talking with a few fellow owners this is a common problem with the check engine light coming on for just about any problem from a loose fuel cap to near engine failure.

I took off the new AFE stage 2 I installed a few weeks ago and the light has gone off so time will tell if that was it or not . I should know if it was within a few cold starts.
