? for the diesel peeps

My F250 6.0 32K started bucking . It does it from around 40-55 mph zone. Mostly in the cooler damp mornings. After it warms up you don't notice it as much. I just had the truck serviced for normal oil change and plus had the trans flushed. I have also noticed when I tow my GN horse trailer that it seems to dog down some...It is due to have the fuel filters changed but it was doing this before and seems to have gotten worst. Any suggestions. It's still under warranty so I will be taking it in...Just wanted to get some idea's from honest people...Thx

The fuel filters should be changed every 15 K

I have a 2007 and that is what it says in the book. I have done once already and it is very easy.

The fuel filter was changed at 15k. I was going to change it again after this weekend. But the truck has had the buck for awhile just starting to show up more. I'm thinking injectors.....? Of course that is part of the dealers routine check up every 5k. So are they not looking at the injectors to see if they need cleaning? I don't think 2k more miles past the 30K to change them is gonna make that much difference......

Sounds like a water/ moisture in the fuel issue.

Do you have a drain/perc0ck where you can drain the water out of your fuel filter?

did you change both of them?

 

[mingiz]

Yes both were changed. And yes I do know how to change them...I have had no fuel lights or any codes show up...I don't buy shell I always have used Sunoco. And I have never had any issues with thier gas or fuel....I haven't tried to crawl under it and do what itsbob suggested...I'm leaving tomorrow morning for a camping trip. After I get back I will take it in and have the dealer check it out...I have had water in a gas motor before and it doesn't seem to act the same as that would..It's not a constant jerk/studder only at a cold temp.
