    No A/C at low RPMs

    An Update. Lat week I removed the shim behind the A/C clutch and the A/C has been blowing ice cold ever since.

    No A/C at low RPMs

    Just finished a 900 mile trip from MD back to FL, and had an A/C issue. At low RPMs (1250ish) and speed (45-50ish) the A/C seems to turn off. If I get into the throttle and kick the RPMs up the A/C kicks back on. There was no issue at all with the cruse on doing 70ish and 2000RMS - system...

    Hard Cold Starts

    Thanks all for the suggestions. I changed the oil, went to 10w30, and ran a can of sea foam through it as well. It was 29 this morning and the 250 started right up. Suppose to be 20 tonight, so we will see how it does in the morning.

    Hard Cold Starts

    I replaced the GPR last spring when I replaced the batteries. But I have thought about doing the Stancor for a long time now.

    Hard Cold Starts

    Been working in MD and have had a few issues. Few months ago had the fuel bowl heater short out and now with it in the 30's in the morning the 7.3 is real hard to start. Normally taking 4 to 5 cycles of the GPR before it will turn over. And, once it does getting white/gray smoke. I took...

    Its Cold and the 250 wont start

    ****UPDATE**** Replaced the 20 amp MAXI fuse for the PCM and unplugged the bowl heater yesterday. Got a jumpstart from a 350 this morning and it started up and ran fine. I think all the trouble shooting yesterday drained down the batteries enough that once I fixed the issue they didn't have...

    Thanks everyone, I did find a blown maxi fuse under the hood. But even after i replaced it the truck wont start. Starting to think its going to be a trip to the shop/dealer.

    Its Cold and the 250 wont start

    Well, just replaced the CPS, it still won't start, and the WTS light is still not lighting up. So so far I have: 1) Replaced the CPS 2) Disconnected the fuel bowl heater (at least I'm pretty sure I did) 3) Checked all the fuses under the dash

    Disconnected the heater (I think, see reply above), re-checked the fuse (it's still good), and the TACH does not move. Thoughts? BTW, Thanks everyone!!!!!

    The 30 Amp (and all other) fuse is good. Is the connection for the fuel filter heating element on the back side of the housing? A two wire white body connector, if so that didn't work.

    Its Cold and the 250 wont start

    Well I'm up in MD and after the little storm that blew through yesterday my '01 7.3 L 250 wont start. It turns over, but will not start. I replaced both batteries a few months ago and the GPS. But, this seems like a classic GPS issue. The one side note here is the "wait to start" idiot light...

    Warn Hub Help

    Ok, so i finally broke down and got a set of Warn hub for my '01. So I.... 1) Pulled out the stock lockouts 2) Installed the hub assembly and lock ring (i.e. slid the old one out and new one in) 3) Screwed on the outer cap with o-ring 4) Did the other side 5) Locked both hub and jacked...

    Question Hub Assembly

    I need to replace the hubs on my '01 as well. I have been thinking of swapping in a set of Warn hubs instead. How much more effort is it to do the Warn swap than just replacing with Ford parts?
