list your trucks info, model, year, engine etc

 

Why did you start a new thread? You seem to be ignoring all the advice you got in your original thread. If you don't know what you are doing and can't afford to take it to a shop I guess you won't be driving your truck! It sounds like you kept driving it with a bunch of problems without addressing them and now you may be looking at an engine replacement.

 

2006 f250xlt 5.4l crewcab shortbox 4x4 automatic

 

so i am looking at a new motor this one is toast, what can i drop in my 2006 f250? do i have to get a 5.4l and what years.?. i have been trying to research this and have no luck.

 

No you dont need a new motor. Go to autozone or advance auto and have them pull the codes. Don't clear the code, it makes it hard to diagnosis further problems. CEL will go out when the problem is fixed.

Get the code and come on here and search. Don't let any of the idiots at parts store sell you anything. They are guessing out of their asses to make money.

 

Sounds like sticking injectors.
