    Power steering problem!

    What atk said. It is important that the system gets flushed particularly since these PS pumps fail somewhat regularly.

    Power loss around 1700 RPM....

    That is correct as far as the high pressure pump goes, there is a lift pump in the fuel tank. If the lift pump goes bad the HP pump will suffer for it.

    Help Needed 2000 Excursion

    Pesky cam sensor failure perhaps. That is the first place I would look.

    6.0 no power

    Easy check, pull the intake duct and check for lateral movement of the impeller and/or broken vanes on the turbo. The impeller may be floating and freeing then binding. Also may be a bad waste gate actuator sticking.

    Cold start

    If you are still having issues with the cranking RPM, as it sounds like you are, check ALL of the connections, at the batteries, the starter and ground points. Also check for corrosion migrating down the battery cables, there may be a resistance issue. A voltage drop test at the starter would be...

    left bank (2, 4, 6, 8) not working

    One bad injector shut my entire engine down. They can cause alot of grief.

    4x4 Front Hubs.

    The most common failure I see with auto hubs is a broken vacuum line at the knuckle, second most common failure would be the vacuum seal in the knuckle, generally good for about 75k miles. The seals require a special tool to install easily and properly (though it can be done without but is...

    When was your fuel filter last changed ?

    LPOP/HPOP questions.experience with these is seriously needed

    328k miles on that engine ? Don't be surprised if that LPOP is out spec. clearance wise. How is the condition of your oil ? Is it kept clean and changed regularly. If the LP is slow to climb I would get after the oil pump as it may be cavitating.

    doing ball joints

    Be sure to pack the spindle bearings with wheel bearing grease before reassembly ! Also spend for the greasable ball joints and axle joints. Sometimes there is enough clearance to leave the zerts in the axle joints after assembly, sometimes not, if not grease them with the gun then remove the...

    Cold start

    I don't know what kind temps' you have where you are atm but, the WTS light will go off before the glow plugs have actually heated the prechamber enough for a smooth reliable start. After the WTS light goes out count to 45-60 then crank it and see how that does for you. The glow plugs will be...

    Rotella vs Delo (15w40)

    I have only ever put DELO in diesels, my own included and have never had an issue with it. I recommend it whenever anyone asks my opinion . I run 15w-40 from April/march to about sept. and 10w-30 the winter months. Alaskan winters are a bit cold to keep the heavy oil in all year.

    Help Needed 4x4 issues....

    I cast a vote for bad axle u-joints as well. If one is loose/worn it will cause binding/grinding/noise issues.

    Question Camshaft float?

    Well if the problem developed just after putting in a tuner.... do the math. I would suspect a tuner problem.

    smoky starting

    No offense but, a ohm test is very unreliable on a circuit that requires volts/amps to pass. The smallest circuit you can imagine can pass an ohm test but will not be able to carry the current needed to power anything, particularly something as demanding as glowplugs. An easy test is to get a...

    Still wandering

    The gear box, coupler or steering shaft would be the next to inspect. With the engine off, turn the steering wheel slightly and check for play from the steering wheel to the gear box, also did you check the pitman arm ?

    smoky starting

    Check the glow plugs and the relay. A bad relay is fairly common and will certainly make for a rough start. If your EBPV is acting that way I would suspect a bad EBPV sensor and or a restricted or plugged tube to the sensor.

    2000 7.3 down fuel/electrical issues

    Pull all of them before you crank on that engine anymore! You run the risk of bending things if you crank on a hydralocked engine. Check your engine oil level and see if it raised and is diluted. Check the HP fuel lines and the fittings at the HP pump for leakage. Also check the fuel bowl drain...

    Oil leak and hard start

    I'd suspect a bad injector and or o-rings for the hard start/lack of power issue, as to the oil leak I agree with OWUP.

    4X not engaging

    Baysmith, that sounds like a vac. leak somewhere.

    EBPV not working.

    The "tube" exit/connects to the forward end of the right hand exhaust manifold, routes under the AC comp. and continues a short ways to the front center(ish) of the HPOP above the water pump where the EBPV sensor is mounted.

    4X not engaging

    If you have a vacuum pump/gauge and see vacuum to the knuckles the next step is too use the pump attached to the knuckle. Apply vacuum to the knuckle side and see if the hub engages then, if not the likely cause is the vacuum seal on the stub axle shaft, they last for maybe 75k miles on a good...

    Help Needed Rattle under light load & idle

    To continues Zookies line of questions.. Does it sound like bearings in a coffee can ? 99s are known to have torque converter issues, mine was one of them and I replaced it. Normally it isn't noticeable while driving but is very noticeable at idle.

    2000 7.3 down fuel/electrical issues

    Tailgunner makes a good point. I have seen the same thing. Get a 12v testlight and check every single fuse in both fuse boxes. If that heater element is shorted, your truck will not start.

    water in the oil

    Are you noticing changes in the coolant level ? The oil level ? If not keep in mind it is nearly impossible to get all of the oil out of the cooling system after the repair. There will always be some residual... at least I have never found a method to remove it all.
