    Buzz under dash help!!!!

    DaveBen, I've turned the thumb wheel and it didn't change anything. I went out to do some troubleshooting, and could not get the noise to stay on long enough to pin point it. The fuse panel inside the truck has the accessory delay relay that was chattering some, but it was not same as what I...

    Clunk noise in front end

    I have a 2000 F-250 Powerstroke 4X4 crewcab with automatic. I replaced the links (or end links) on the front sway bar about 2 years ago (15,000 miles ago). The original ones were shot. I've noticed in the last year or so that when I'm braking (medium to hard), I hear a clunk noise. It sounds...

    Buzz under dash help!!!!

    I have a 2000 F-250 7.3L 4X4 crewcab. I got in my truck this morning and the dome light had been all night. It won't shut off (except when I pull the fuse). The switch doesn't affect it. Also, when all the doors are closed (closed all the way), their is a buzzing noise coming from under the...

    Few items I need help with

    Thanks for the info, I figured it would be some color of grey. It is very faded right now. The strut's p/n's have worn completely off. The spare tire lock for my truck is in my glove box. But the truck my brother just bought is missing it (not in glove box). Again, thanks for the info. Drew

    Few items I need help with

    1.) On my 2000 F-250, the lower part of the bumper (the plastic, not the steel chrome part) is faded. What color is that normally? Does anyone have pics to send. My front bumper is chrome, my truck is white/tan two tone. 2.) Does anyone know the strut pressures for the hood struts? Both...

    Help! with my steering issue

    Hello, I bought a 2001 F250 4X4 7.3L diesel about 2 months ago. I have had steering issues since day one. When driving down the road it feels like you are trying to balance on a ball. The steering wheel has some play but nothing to excessive. While driving the truck wants to wonder a little...

    Overhead console intermittent

    I've repaired the overhead computer on my 2000 PSD, but now my brother just bought a 2001 PSD. His overhead computer/console is intermittent. It seems to work good then get extremely dim, even without the lights on. The link for the overhead computer at forgotton.net is not working right now...

    How much for keyless entry install?

    I was wondering how much you guys might charge someone to install a keyless entry/remote start system. I installed a system today for someone. It took a lot longer than expected. It should have taken an hour or two, but it took me about 7-8 hours. The wires were labeled correctly in the...

    Steering hard sometimes

    I've noticed, since I bought my truck a few years ago, that it is sometimes hard to steer the truck at idle (like when parking). I changed the powersteering fluid and flushed out the cooler, then filled with new p/s fluid. It didn't seem to help. Is there any kind of restrictor in the system...

    Taking longer to start?!

    Does anyone know how to post these two write-ups in a common, easy to find area for all to see? I think it would help many folks when they are trouble-shooting the glow plug system of their trucks. 1. '95 F-350 12.85 batt voltage @ PS battery post 12.75 Batt voltage @ GPR hot terminal...

    Mouser Contactor/Relay how-to?

    I just got my new Mouser Contactor p/n 586-902. Which way does it need to be installed? Or which wires connect where? Thank you. Drew

    Taking longer to start?!

    Can someone post some numbers for me? Maybe someone in cold weather that has no problem starting their PSD. I'm looking for the voltage reading at the glow plug relay with the key on (engine off) to each of the big terminals. I'm thinking the numbers I'm getting are a little low. Thanks for...

    Taking longer to start?!

    We've always ran Interstate Batteries. I think they are excellent batteries. Does anyone else on here agree? What else are good for these Powerstrokes?

    Taking longer to start?!

    The batteries I have are 1000 cranking amps each. Is this factor rated?

    Taking longer to start?!

    Each battery was load tested (individually) out of the truck at our local Auto Zone. Both are fine. I charged them both up over night and installed them back in the truck. When I turn the key on this morning, the hot side of the GPR read 11.3 volts and the other heavy post read 10.6 volts. I...

    Taking longer to start?!

    The batteries have been tested and are good. I have both my good batteries out of the truck right now. I put a battery in from our boat. The hot side of the GPR read 12.7 volts with the key off. When the key was turned on (and GPR energized), the hot side read 10.9 volts and the other post...

    Taking longer to start?!

    I have a 2000 F-250 7.3L. It has only been in the 50s here lately and my truck is taking a little longer to start than normal. I replaced the GPR about 5,000 miles ago and the glowplugs around 10,000 miles ago. The truck cranks over at a good speed (the batteries are good), it just doesn't...

    Manual hubs grease???

    I pulled off my driver's side hub and cleaned it out. I sprayed some graphite spray lube down in it and it started moving extremely easy. I then put a thin layer off grease on the splines and reinstalled it. Now it's been about three weeks and it is hard to turn again. I don't have the money...

    Glowplug troubleshooting help?!

    This is just an update: I changed the GPR and everything seems to be working great. But the real test will be when the temps drop closer to freezing. Right now it is in the 60s and 70s here.

    Will GPR 109 work?

    DaveBen, Are talking about the GPR-109 is isolated? How do I hook up the coil to ground externally? Should I just go with the 586-902? Thanks. Drew

    Will GPR 109 work?

    I see on the OBS part # thread it has Glow Plug Relay part #'s. I tried the autozone "MR99" and it doesn't work because it's case grounded. Does anyone know if the GPR-109 will work (is not case grounded)? Napa has those for $31. I found that O'Reilly's has a "GPR11" for $79. That is listed...

    Anyone ever hear of this GPR problem?

    I just replaced glow plug relay. The new one was the MR99 from autozone. It was marked "S" and "I" on the small terminals. I originally I hooked up the "I" to the "12-volt when key on" source and the relay didn't work at all. Then I realized that it might be a negative and I swapped the...

    GPR Part #

    I need find a part # for the GPR that can be used on my truck. I saw on one thread that a Napa GPR 103 goes for about $30. Is the "GPR 103" the entire part # at Napa. Is there any other part #'s for other autoparts stores?
