I'm in the process of ironing out some issues and the forum has been a huge help. The brake pedal on this truck stays down when I press them to stop and I have to lift it up with my foot to un lock the brakes. I want to fix this issue tomorrow. Any advice is greatly appreciated. I used the search function for awhile but didn't find anything. ]]> 7.3L IDI Diesels (Not Power Strokes) Jwinter http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f30/brake-issue-pedal-wont-return-242664/ http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f35/best-price-stanadyne-performance-formula-242663/ Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:41:55 GMT Looking for the best price and best shipping on this product Looking for the best price and best shipping on this product ]]> 6.4L Power Stroke Engine and Drivetrain KingKong http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f35/best-price-stanadyne-performance-formula-242663/ http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f30/power-source-fuel-pump-242627/ Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:18:44 GMT Looking thru my OEM manuals for a place to connect a 3-5 amp draw for a fuel pump, but getting frustrated....

1. where is a quick and easy to get at / down-n-dirty, ignition key-activated power source (so I can get running)?

2. what is the BEST way to get a power source (long-term solution)

For #1, I'm looking at the glow-plug controller (with an inline fuse)...

I have been a long time fan of this website. You have helped me several times. Researching these trouble codes have not given me any clues that they could be related, so here I am. I have already ordered a new ICP sensor & harness. Will pick up on my way to work. Could the 2263 be related? Which problem would attack first? I have noticed some surging and engine noise going from the 6.0 clack to a quieting, as discribed in several other posts about the 2263. The ICP code was first MIL. I preformed the oil & filter change due. Then got thee 2263 code the next day. Thinking it may have been the oil change that set the code I cleared them and the came back. ]]> 6.0L Power Stroke Engine and Drivetrain Texas Fling http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f23/touble-codes-p2285-p2263-242621/ http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f29/hose-front-heads-242620/ Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:53:25 GMT I did an elec fuel system and have yet to determine where a 2in length of fuel hose goes at front of the pass side head ive got both fuel return hoses hooked up and this hose used to goto the fuel bowl but i cant figoure out what for? it sits right beside the pass side head going down its side in the valley then up to the front under the alternator and other items.

I am now experiencing similar issues at start up when the ambient temp is below about 75 as I did when they went bad before. I have been reading up on replacing them myself and plan on having my truck scanned at Pensacola Fuel Injection beginning of next week. It is running rough on cold start up for a few seconds then clears up. The other thing I noticed is that when I rev the engine up to 3K-3500 in park there is a noticable miss that I do not notice driving under load. This would lead me to think injectors. My question is, am I leaning the right direction with the injectors? They will sell me 04.5 injectors that are completly rebuilt for 149.00 each. I also have purchased an EGR delete that I can do at the same time while I am tearing the top end apart. I do not mind how long it will take me to do it since I have spare vehicles to drive. I have read the process and it seems well within my realm of capabilities. Thoughts, comments, and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I have a Hypertech power programmer for a 03-06 ford diesel. My brother had a 05 ford diesel that was lifted and stuff. He passed away last month and while cleaning some of the stuff in his office, I noticed this power programmer brand new in the box with all the instructions/proof of purchase, etc. I thought to myself that someone should atleast have some use out of it. I am a Subaru owner and pretty into the Subaru scene as far as aftermarket parts/tuning goes. I know nothing about this tuner so please do your research before you purchase. This programmer brand new goes for 300-400 dollars. I am asking just 200. I can ship within the United States or meet up locally. I am in Washington State. If you have any questions/need pictures, please feel free to post them up here or PM me. Thanks I really appreciate it, -Daniel Hey guys. I have a Hypertech power programmer for a 03-06 ford diesel.

It's way more then I really need, and will probably just go with a DP-Tuner. Comes with mounting bracket for the OBS style trucks, all the wiring and mounting equipment. Unit is in perfect condition and will be shipped in the ford box it came in.

Has preset idle rpm's and charge protect which will increase the idle to keep proper voltage at your battery. Great way to warm up your truck on the cold mornings.

This AIC has the lcd screen but NO PTO.





125 shipped to the 48?
