    Fog lights

    I have a 2000 F-250 that I would like to install fog lights on. I've been doing a lot of night time driving lately and I would like more light. Can anyone recommend fog lights? Are the 01-04 style brackets be the only ones that will fit on my truck? Has anyone used a newer bracket and made it...

    Question Power steering pump upgrade?

    I've searched through this forum and others. I can't seem to find information on upgrading the power steering pump. While parking my truck today, the power steering pressure hose (pump to hydroboost unit) broke off the pump. I've already purchased a new hose and some transmission fluid. I'm...

    Recommended alternator?

    I'm having some problems with my alternator on my truck. It puts out 14.2 volts at idle with no accessories turned on. As soon as I turn on headlights, radio, and a/c with blower on high (all at the same time), the voltage drops to 13.7 volts and stays at that number and never rises until I turn...

    Question Truck dies in reverse and no transmission lock out

    My brother has a 2001 F-250 7.3L with around 170,000 miles. He usually shifts his truck into neutral when getting off the interstate. A few months ago he happen to shift to it into REVERSE while getting off the interstate!!! I know, I know, that is not the best thing to do to a truck. Anyway...

    Help Needed Truck no start sometimes

    I'm having a problem with my F-250 not starting sometimes. The engine spins over just fine, but I don't hear the electric fuel pump. The first time it happened (a few weeks ago) I checked voltage to the pump right after the ignition switch was turned to the run position and I had no voltage at...

    Question Headlight swap between different models

    I have a 2000 F-250 PSD and I would like to swap to headlights from a 2004 F-250. Do these interchange without modification? Can anyone recommend where to get headlights from an '04 F-250? I like the clear lens better than the "frosted" type that came with my 2000 PSD. One picture attached is...

    Broke off!!

    I was doing the fuel pressure regulator mod to increase the fuel pressure. I just snapped the male threaded fitting off where the fuel line comes into the driver's side of the fuel bowl. I knew it was pot metal. I barely put any force on it and it snapped off. Where can I get a replacement...

    How many fuel filters?

    Is there only one fuel filter installed on a 2000 F-250 PSD? The only one I know of is the one under the hood on top of the engine. Is there a screen or prefilter anywhere? I'm changing my fuel pump this afternoon and I want to change filters also. Drew

    Question Stancor problems

    I'm about to go check my Stancor GPR for voltage drop. My truck is slow to start again. I replaced both batteries within the last 6 months (they are both new Interstate batteries 1000CA). I had them load tested independently about 1-2 months ago and they tested good. Alternator tested fine. The...

    Help Needed Truck just died!!

    My 2000 F-250 just died on me. I have about 1/4 tank of fuel in it. I've noticed in the last few days that it is taking just a little bit longer to start. I just checked all my glow plugs 1-2 months ago. The batteries were just checked at the same time. I have the Stancor GPR. As I was driving a...

    Just in case anyone was wondering

    Just in case anyone was wondering, the 7.3L Powerstroke can run on only 4 injectors and 4 glow plugs. After changing out a bad glow plug today, I reassembled everything, then cranked the truck and let it run about 5-10 minutes. Then, I pulled the valve cover plug to check the resistance again on...

    Turbo bearing bad?

    Well, I just finished changing the passenger side front glow plug. I check all the glow plugs this morning and that one was 10.5 ohms. The rest were 0.9-1.0 ohms. When I had the passenger side intercooler duct out, I noticed that I had oil sitting in there. There was enough oil that when I...

    Question How much does it weigh?

    Has anyone on here had their truck weighed? I'm looking for the weight of my '00 F-250, 7.3L, 4WD, crew cab, automatic. I don't want to pay to have it weighed on the scales at a truck stop. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Drew

    Question Sputtering engine

    I currently have 167,000 miles on my F-250. I was driving through town today accelerating from a stop to about 40mph. When I reached about 30mph, the engine RPM dropped to idle and sputtered for 3-4 seconds. I have 1/2 tank of fuel. It only did it that one time and hasn't done it again. I can't...

    What color does this need to be?

    Just below the chrome portion of the bumper, the plastic has faded to a light gray color. Does anyone know what color this normally is from the factory? I thought about painting it the same color as the grill (the dark metallic gray color). Any input would be greatly appreciated. The truck is...

    Does anyone have a picture of where their windshield leaks on the 2000 F-250s? I definitely have a leak that is allowing rain to drip into my GEM and fuse block. Drew

    I would like remove only a quart of oil in my truck. I have a quart of Lucas Pure Synthetic Oil Stabilizer that I would like to add. I recently changed the oil in the truck so it will be a while before the next oil change and I don't want to wait until then. I don't put many miles on my truck. I...

    Where is the fix for dim overhead console?

    I've seen online where guys can do something to the overhead console and make the display not be dim when the park lights or head lights are on. I know adjusting the thumb wheel makes it dim/bright, but mine is still dim on the full bright setting. Does anyone know what the fix is for rigging...

    Injector advice

    I just checked resistance in my glow plugs and my injectors (checked my injector resistance to the center pin on the valve cover plugs). Each of my glow plugs showed 0.9-1.0 ohms. Each of my injectors showed 3.4-3.6 ohms except my passenger side rear injector (Haynes manual says this is the #7...

    Does anyone own a battery load tester?

    I thought about buying a battery load tester. I've seen some as cheap as $50 or so. If you own one, please tell me what kind and if you like it. I would like to find one that I can test my batteries and alternator. Drew

    How many amps to charge?

    Both of my batteries ran down over night. I have one charger that is 12V and will do 2, 10, and 50 amps. I have both batteries disconnected from the truck. I have the charger hooked to one battery and jumper cables connected the two batteries. My question is: Should I charge them on 2 amps or 10...
