    Missing/no power

    Got battery situation delt with, still no start. Hooked up multimeter to gpr and it says a solid 11 amps, no more no less, so gonna switch out for a napa 109 just in case. Did notice that the fuel bowl was a little less than half full after trying to start it and I distinctly remember it being...

    Missing/no power

    Not a bad idea! I decided to just go ahead and swap a napa cheapie in tomorrow, rather than wait til next weekend for a multimeter. I will buy a stancor down the road, for when the cheapie breaks. 22 bucks is worth having my truck running sooner rather than later. Thanks again big joe.

    Missing/no power

    Thanks Joe, that was my 90% understanding, but I was 10% unsure, based on what I had read if there was/was not some way to troubleshoot relay using block heater. Appreciate the clarification! Buying a napa special pending multimeter results! Is this correct way to check gpr? To check the...

    Missing/no power

    Thanks daschund, I gotta wait til next week to use my buddies multimeter. I figured I didnt have a spare cps anyway, and wanted to feel like I was making some forward progress, so I put in a new one, no luck. Found the bad cell, put in a new battery, just the one until payday, but no luck...

    Missing/no power

    Thanks Bigrigr and Dave. I was under the impression that if block heater was engaged, it was a way to "troubleshoot" gpr because gpr would not need to be used, bypassing it sorta. I have seen that said on several different threads, am I wrong?

    Missing/no power

    Update Plugged in the block heater to try and eliminate glow plug relay from possibilities. Truck would crank but not turn over, lights still going bright/dim/bright, so I am going to take out both batts and the alt and see what a bench test will tell me. Not sure if the two could be...

    PS, I always check the switched power on the small terminal on top too just to make sure the relay is being energized. Which relay is it?

    Missing/no power

    OK, I got to get ahold of a multimeter this weekend. It was 60-70 today, tried it, and it started shaking even worse, this time I noticed that the ligghts got brighter then dimmer, and this time it shut itself down, got a batt light and oil temp light. Still think glow plug relay?

    Missing/no power

    130K white smoke if missing and I am on the pedal, otherwise none. In virginia, so would 30 degrees affect it the same as say minnesota, wis, other cold places some of you guys are from? I have never had this experience here with other dieselS, BUT.....:dunno

    Missing/no power

    99 F250 7.3 Came out to start the truck yesterday, starts on third crank like usual, running like crap and shaking like it is missing or not firing on all cylinders. Then tried it another time, ran fine, drove it for a while. This morning, same thing, no power, missing. Outside temperature...

    HP Crossover hose

    Agreed Joe, sorry if my earlier post has added some confusion. Since oil cannot be compressed, theoretically the entire system is always at the same pressure. Thats why alot of guys automatically discount it as redonkulous and unneccesary. In a brand new truck, I wouldnt waste my money. However...

    Question '99-'04 Headlight Conversion to '05-'07

    Those lights that were for sale for 178 on your link...that is the company I bought from. I guess I should elaborate. Put mine in, they didnt need any adjustment-they were spot on. You CAN adjust them with screws set into the headlight, but you would have to pull it all the way out...

    Windshield Wipers Possessed

    Windshield wipers are not working. They go in and out, usually when i go over a random bump. Once they are on, I can control them normally. If i turn off the ignition, they will not go back on again until i hit a completely random bump. Took off the multifunction switch, cleaned it up...

    Question '99-'04 Headlight Conversion to '05-'07

    SJB I bought these lights and am reasonably happy. They are not oem, made by an aftermarket company. You will lose the ability to fine adjust your headlights unless you are fairly crafty. They will put them pretty close to ballpark however, and the price is fairly good. Without replacing the...

    New and need info. Which one to get 7.3L or 6.0L???

    Hmm I have only done maintenance on my 7.3, that said, it is ridiculously easy, compared to some crazy crap I have had to do with gassers I have owned. Noise levels, I have a feeling you will come to enjoy either one you end up with, only exception being in drive thru's, for which you will...

    New and need info. Which one to get 7.3L or 6.0L???

    There are always exceptions, as I said, but statistically, which motor have you heard the worst about? I believe there is even a metric ***** ton of info under the 6.0 issues on this site about head stud, head wall weakness/thinness causing issues. Check for yourself, but thats my personal...

    New and need info. Which one to get 7.3L or 6.0L???

    Hmmm Real talk, my buddies 6.0 had a little more pep before I did the Fuel Pressure Regulator Mod (search fpr on this site), but his is in the shop so frequently, he often borrows mine. That is most peoples experience with the 6.0, although there is one guy on here with a 6 that has never ahd...

    New and need info. Which one to get 7.3L or 6.0L???

    Welcome First of all welcome to the forum! I highly reccomend going for a 7.3! More reliable, as in normally higher mileage with fewer issues than 6.0's! 6.0's tend to have head issues quite frequently. 7.3 injectors are very tolerant should you choose to try WVO/Biodiesel in the future to...
