Blow by is what you are describing coming out of the oil fill cap. A little is normal, it all depends on the internal condition of the engine. I would not be to quick to say that you have glow plug issues. I would look at replacing the cam censor on the 7.3 engine there is a recall from ford for this on some model year 7.3 liter diesels

Check the fluid level.

Has filter been changed? How many miles?

Could be time for rebuild. Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/sean_54c3a3dc48a7773c

unfortunatly its probably an internal leak and the motor is burning the oil.this could br caused by leaking valve seals,bad rings or more likely bad turbo seals.add some lucas oil conditioner and see if that helps.to check the turbo pull the tube going from it to the inter cooler and look for oil. due the same on the exhaust side

Please don't forget to rate!!!!

Diesel Engines The 6.9L and 7.3L diesel engines use a one-piece spin-on fuel filter. Do not add fuel to the new fuel filter. Allow the engine to draw fuel through the filter.

1. Remove the spin-on filter by unscrewing it counterclockwise with your hands or a strap wrench.
2. Clean the filter mounting surface.
3. Coat the gasket or the replacement filter with clean diesel fuel. This helps ensure a good seal.
4. Tighten the filter by hand until the gasket touches the filter mounting surface.
5. Tighten the filter an additional 1⁄2 turn. NOTE: After changing the fuel filter, the engine will purge the trapped air as it runs. The engine may run roughly and smoke excessively until the air is cleared from the system.
   

A manual or automatic valve in the heater core hose used for opening or closing, providing coolant flow control to the heater core. did you mean that or the blower

check the fuel pump and injectors, pump maybe retarded and injector maybe plugged . Take it to a diesel mechanic shouldn't cost much for a diagnostic

Bad injector is most likely.
Easy to tell because it will be the only cold one if you only run it for a minute or so.

On the 01 there is a camber bushing that goes in the knuckle with the upper ball joint( the factory ones wear out), take it to a alignment shop, specify you want the camber set, and they will be able to provide a shim and install it for you,it only take a couple secs to install, you can turn the aftermarket shim to achieve correct camber.

Possibly high pressure oil pump or injectors. can't say for sure without more info.you already checked filters. hope this helps

yes, pcm means powertrain control module

here you go, it in manual

16 is a pass code. For some reasom your diagnostic connector is in test mode.

If light flashes, diagnostic circuit is grounded. CORRECT condition.

If anything other than Code 16, and starting with the first code recorded, GO to the pinpoint test for that code.

If Code 16, and if previous action has been taken, concern most likely has been corrected and ABS system is OK. Otherwise, GO to PC6 .

Diagnostic Data Link Connector located at the left-hand side of the engine compartment and marked ANTI-LOCK TEST.

It is most likely either TCM or the acuumulator which is vacuum run.
The accumulator is sometimes vacuum ran and sometimes electrical and controled by TCM.

The best thing to do is to take it to a transmission shop and ask them. They will be able to tell you if it is bad. This is the cheapest way to find out if it is bad and you can ask them how to tell for future knowledge.

no, it shouldnt have any looseness to it and dual mass flywheels are VERY expensive to replace, BUT yes it can be converted to a solid flywheel, check out autozone.com part number MU1989 or advanceautoparts.com part number 798, that should get you on the right path to curing your problems, i welded the two independantly turning discs of my dual mass flywheel together but i wouldnt recommend anyone doing that without the proper equipment to do so (i.e. precision lathes, cast iron welding rods, etc)

looked your truck up on an online database, ford calls that port a dlc (data link connector) and says that it is located in the passenger's compartment of the vehicle attached to the instrument panel and is accessible from the driver's seat.

It's reported to be mounted on the instrument panel support frame (remove ashtray for access)

your problem lies with the brake hydrovac, it is the big round thing where your brake master is mounted.

You should have a hydraulic brake booster. a common failure item on fords and also would cause your symptom. the burning smell, I would go back and recheck all the brakes. Maybe a problem with the e-brakes, or an issue with the front or rear calipers. Possibly a damaged steel or high pressure brake line. Good luck.
