    Winter is here

    Many of you may be having 'hard start' or 'no start' problems with your trucks. #1 cause is the batteries and #2 is the glow plugs and controller. Amazon has several glow plug controllers...

    2001 7.3L gremlins.

    You need to check and clean the battery cables and ground cables. Make sure ALL of the large cables are CLEAN and what they attach to is clean. Corroded cables are the number 1 cause of no start problems and they all crop up this time if the year - it is COLD and your truck needs every...

    Question Fuel Heater Coolant Hose Replacement

    You can't shape heater hoses. Just run it so it is smooth and no unnecessary turns or kinks. A smooth 1/4 circle might do it for you.

    6.4 engine seized.

    You have a rod that is bent and is binding. The 1/4 turn is my clue. As Joe said "Not good."

    Question Fuel Heater Coolant Hose Replacement

    What you have is a fuel heater. It uses hot water to warm the fuel. When cold it will not do much to warm the fuel, but it will after a few minutes. THIS IS NOT A FORD PART!

    Question Fuel Heater Coolant Hose Replacement

    You need to replace the hoses. They are shot. It should not take that much pressure from the clamp to seal the hose to the fitting.

    Dodge 1/2 ton with diesel?

    The price of gas has a lot to do with the fewer diesel engines in trucks.

    Help Needed ’02 7.3 saga – stalls, no start, can’t figure this out

    How many miles? Don't throw parts at the truck. I would get only Ford or Motorcraft parts (CPS, IPR). Other parts are generally junk.

    Contact SCT and ask them. It is a different system so it may not work on your engine.

    Help Needed 6.4 turbo noise under extreme load

    You have a 5 speed automatic tranny, I am assuming so it is not a clutch. It maybe the turbo but it is hard to tell from here. These trucks do NOT like to be babied. Get on it and drive it like you stole it! You are building up a lot of junk in the exhaust if you don't get on it. Take it out...

    White/grey smoke, fuel smell

    Good Morning and :welcome to SDD. Yes, get it scanned or we all are guessing. There are codes in the PCM even if the Engine light is not on. Thanks for joining us. :)

    Glow plugs

    The description states that they are Motorcraft ZD-11 Glow Plugs. If they are not then you have a case of fraud you could persue.

    :welcome to SDD! What do you want to swap into your F-350?

    Need help

    OK, this is not getting you anywhere, nor me. You have to get the truck scanned, using a GOOD SCANNER like Autoenginuity and see what that tells you. If you don't have a scanner take it to a good garage and have them scan it. Is your 'check engine' light on? You will throw way to much $$$...

    What are you referring to?

    Need help

    What sensors are you referring to; "back pressure sensor"? Never heard of this. 150 psi is way too much boost pressure. You will lift the heads off the engine.
  23. DaveBen

    Need help

    Something is funny here. You are getting 50 to 70 psi of boost, but getting only 36psi at (on) the intake? How the Fu&% are you measuring this? Have you looked carefully at the boots to see if they ARE leaking? How many miles are on your truck?

    Raptor Style Grille Lights for Superduty

    That is very inventive! Nice job all the way round! You should sell these for the F-250 and F-350's.
