    Total loss of power.

    I was on my way to the lake last weekend and I lost all forward momentum. The turbo went to zero and I pressed it to the floor. I pulled over and shut it off for a few minutes. Restarted fine and had good power. Continued to the lake and after about 150 miles, I lost turbo and power again. Again...

    Question 6.4 Regen frequency

    Mine normally regens every tank (300-400 miles). But on my recent trip out west, I was pulling 10.5K and in the heavy mountain driving, it would regen every 70-100 miles. I think it depends on your driving style, driving conditions and whether or not you are towing heavy. Now, it's back to the...

    Looking at new diesel trucks - want unbiased input

    I bought my F250 Lariat in September. I sold my 99 7.3 so I could by this one. The mileage isn't as good as my 7.3, but this thing has gobs of hp and torque! I find if I drive it easy, I can get pretty good mileage. It's all in the foot pressure. LOL! I liked my 7.3, but I needed 4 doors and...

    Mileage on other 7.3's??

    I'm averaging 17.5 on mixed driving and 11 towing 11,000lb 5th wheel. I have 106,000 on the odometer. Guess I can't complain. All stock too. My mileage really drops above 65MPH, so I keep it down around 60ish. That seems to be the sweet spot on the highway.:burnit

    Transmission Temperature

    Can anyone tell me if on a 1999 SD 7.3 with Auto transmission, you can monitor the transmission temerature without any modifications or sensors added, just using something like the Scangauge II plugged into the computer monitor connector/diagnostic port?

    Ford recall 1.8M trucks and SUV - 7.3L CPS!! **Main Discussion thread**

    Took mine in last week and they kept the truck during the day while I was working. I have been really lucky. My original CPS lasted 106,000 miles! I always keep a spare in the glove box just in case. That one cost me $90 at the International dealer about a year ago. So far, so good with the new...

    Engine rough idle problem

    I don't know of any of my friends that have a scanner. I'm not real familiar with all the acronyms associated with the 7.3 PSD. Not sure what the ICP connector is or the DS head & the lifting ring. Can you be easier on me? LOL. :D

    Only have about 1400 miles on this oil change. Don't know how to/or what the pressures are you asked about.:dunno

    Engine rough idle problem

    This just started. When the truck is cold, it idles smooth. After 20 minutes or so of driving, the idle starts getting rough like a gas engine does when it starts missing. Doesn't seem to affect running going down the road. Maybe I got a bad load of fuel? I'm not getting a "Water in Fuel" light...
