    Loss of power

    Do you think one of the boots could be leaking or something else. As with the dipstick that reads 2 qts. low I seen some Technical Service Bulletin. Some of the early Powerstrokes only held 13 qts. when to the full line on the dipstick, but are supposed to hold 15 qts. with filter. Also I...

    Loss of power

    My dad's '95 ran great when he bought it about five years ago. Now it has about 165,000 miles on it and it is powerless. I know that it has the dipstick that reads 2qts low and we have filled it full enough to correct the problem. We have put in a K&N air filter and the 3 inch down pipe...

    Thanks for the info. A guy I know up here has a '99 with 265hp and his is a dualie with the towing package. Maybe he can't read numbers or it varried from year to year. Another person I know has a '02 with 250hp is what I thought he said. I was just wondering what some other 7.3 superduty...

    rough idle

    What brand of oil do you run in yours? I have been using Rotella 15w40 in it for the 4 months that I have had. I hated to buy a high mile truck with about 190000 on it when I got. Looking you couldn't tell and it runs like new with a reman trans. I think about 95% of them are highway and it...

    rough idle

    My truck has always surged a little while setting and idleing, but it has gotten worse with the cold weather it seems. It doesn't seem to matter whether if the truck is cold or warm. It quits when I put it into any gear except neutral and hold my foot on the brake. I have turned my...

    Strange engine problem with a 7.3 in an E450

    sounds familiar My 2000 acted similar to what you are describing. I was coming home when it was in the 20's OAT and started to climb a hill. The check engine light came on and sounded like it was running on 4 cylinders. I got it in the shop thinking it was serious, borrowed a scanner and...

    Is this Gelled Fuel??? Help!!!!

I then called a mechanic that works at a diesel engine shop and said that one time a...
