Hey everybody, just thought I would pose a question about my truck to see if anybody had any suggestions, thanks!
I have a 2001 7.3 liter excursion, pulling out of a parking space at work I immediately noticed that I had no power steering and very little brakes. I got back into the space, popped the hood and everything looked normal, then I noticed red fluid coming from underneath the engine. With a little bit of research a couple of buddies told me to replace the outer power steering line. Couldn't tell if it was bad or not but thought it couldn't hurt. Replaced the line and I wanted to start the truck up to see if the leaking had stopped. HERE IS THE PROBLEM: The truck will not start now!! It seems like its not getting enough fuel, I've tried the fuel shut-off switch, checked all the fuses, tried to jump it off of another powerstroke, kicked the tires and yelled every cuss word I can think of at it!!!
If anybody has any suggestions please let me know, thanks again and seeing as I am pretty new to the diesel community I am super excited to be part of this forum!!
