    Thanks to the Forums!

    Just wanted to take a moment and say thanks! I recently bought, fixed, and sold another 7.3 Power stroke truck. It's the 4th one I have owned and I only purchased it to sell. Although I have been a Master Tech for over 20 years mainly on gasoline vehicles, I have been amazed at how much...

    What is the sensor on the lower drivers side of fuel filter housing?

    Have a sensor or something connected on the lower driver side of fuel filter housing on a 2002 7.3. It's not hooked up and the wires have been tied off. Curious what it is and why someone would disconnect it.

    6-speed tranny missing low gear???

    Anyone ever had a low gear damaged on one of these? This one will not engage, just spins. All other gears work just fine. THis is still on the truck I am looking to buy. Shop quoted a 2600 dollar repair. Sounds about right but is that the only option?
