have a 2000 F250 with a 7.3, AT and 4x4. Here's what's going on and I appreciate some help.
I realize this is a used truck and it has about 190k miles on it. A few weeks ago it just died and I replaced the cam sensor. Truck started and ran a week just fine til one day it just quit again. So towed it to a referred diesel mechanic here in NE Texas and this is what all that has been done.
New High pressure oil pump
2 new injectors, all others checked and good.
New injector o-rings
new injector wiring for under both valve covers and new gaskets
new icm and I think it's an edm that was replaced.
Spent a LOT of money when in the beginning we told them if it was going to be too much we'd just put a low mileage motor in it. Well after giving shop a cc they kept replacing and calling that it wasn't it.
So now they think it's something inside motor and want $4k to tear it apart to figure it out. Seems they have no idea at all.
The truck will start and run fine til it get's warmed up and it might run 3-4 minutes or 10. Then it dies. After sitting a bit, it will fire right up.
It will also start up and if you turn it off after a cpl minutes, it won't restart until it sits a bit.
Please help. Also, I am in NE Texas near Commerce it anyone knows a VERY GOOD Master Diesel Tech around here that actually diagnoses and then fixes the problem. We're to the point of just dumping the truck but if we can spend a reasonable amount and get this thing dependable we'd prefer that. It's had a cpl thousand worth of front end work and tranny is good, plus we need this truck running.
Thanks in advance for your time!!!
