    7.3 IDI dead on the road

    I consider it two different things- gelling is a condition of the fuel, where icing from water is caused by a contaminated fuel system. Icing from water can/will occur anytime the temp is under 32F, where gelling usually isn't an issue until apx. -15F. I've never looked into it, but have some...

    7.3 IDI dead on the road

    I respectfully have to disagree with the gelling diagnosis. I live in NE North Dakota, and growing up on a grain farm, and having 18 years in the Army(95% of our equipment is diesel powered), have been around all kinds of diesel engines, and extremely cold temperatures. I've had my F250 for...

    1999 7.3L Noise, then smoke!

    Thanks for the replies guys- I think I'm trying to bench race this to death, because I'm scratching for time to tear into it. I kinda realized how much I like that pick-up when this happened. Even though she thinks it's the best, my wife's Corolla is not my favorite thing to drive. In her...

    1999 7.3L Noise, then smoke!

    I have a '99 F250, 6spd manual. The other day going to work, leaving a stop light it started to make a noise I thought was just normal injector chatter, but it got worse until it was a fairly loud knocking/clanking sound. As I was getting out of traffic, the noise went away, but then there was a...

    Power Pup on Early '99 7.3?

    I think I already know the answer to this, but I wanted to put it out there anyway. Has anyone tried to use a Power Pup on an early 99 7.3? I have access to one to try out, but I want to know if it just won't work, if it's just gonna give me an error message, or if I'm going to screw my...

    My first Diesel

    Welcome! At the top of the tread, in the blue bar, there is a tab labeled display modes. Click there, and choose hybrid mode. It drove me nuts also!

    Is my '99 a '99?

    Hey all. As some of you have seen, I've posted a few times about which power programmer or chip to get for my truck. After digging a little further, I'm REALLY starting to get confused. My p/up is registered as a '99, but the manufacture date on the door jamb is 3/98. I was on the Bully Dog...

    Unclear? Which tuner for max MPG?

    Thanks for the input, guys. I realize I'm not driving a Metro, but I'd like to get as much as I can for the money I'm donating to the oil companies CEO bonuses!

    Tail Gunner- they just keep getting bigger!! Went Army myself, not too far from where you were-Camp Grafton, 'bout 80 miles west. I get out to the air base about once a month, it's changed so much in the last 10 years, if you haven't been there since '86, you probably wouldn't recognize a...

    Unclear? Which tuner for max MPG?

    Do you mean you don't use OD even on the highway? I've been on to the trick of taking my time, and keeping my speed down for a while(Thanks Tommy!) , but I'm a little confused on how you meant the OD remark. I would think on the highway, in OD, you would increase mpg simply by the decrease in...

    Unclear? Which tuner for max MPG?

    I've been lurking and searching all over this fine site, and I have to say I've learned alot about these trucks already. Thanks to everyone for the great information! However, on to my question. I've been lucky enough to find a good deal on a '99 F250, 4x4, 7.3 w/ a 6spd manual. This truck...

    Hello to the forum! After quite a few years of driving gassers, I've finally found what I think was a smokin' deal on a diesel p/up. '99 F250 4x4, 7.3l supercab lbox, and a 6 spd manual to top it off! I've only had GMs in the past, starting with an '86 GMC 2 wheeler w/ a 6.2 that I wish would...
