    7.3 no start or long crank to start

    It may be possible the glow plus relay is weak. I had a similar issue that it would take a long time to start especially when cold outside. Evidentially the relays will slowly fail over time. Just a suggestion.

    Question Trans Fluid Temp Spike??

    The one thing that many forget to do. When doing serious modifications many things have to be upgraded to deal with the increase torque and horsepower. If they are not it is just a matter of time before slippage or worse happens. And of course it never happens in a convenient...

    Question Hesitation when starting out.

    Actually it is very easy to change. I get the new one tomorrow and I will let you know if this fixed the problem. I also changed the fuel filter for good measure. (See privious messages).

    Question Hesitation when starting out.

    Just started seeing this problem. Whether I am pulling my 28' 5th or just driving the truck there is a hesitation when first starting to roll and sometimes when going down the road at slower speeds. One thing I tried was using cruz control when driving and the hesitation is not there. Not...
