I think I'd try to retrieve the washer from the VOD (Valley of Death ) and put it back on, but it's not a big deal if it's not there.

I've tried to fix the boot on mine, but I don't think you'll have any more success than I did. The only issue with it not being there is that the terminal is always hot, so might cause a tool zap when you're working on something else in the vicinity.

I did a quick check to try and find a replacement boot, but without success.

2002 7.3 was hard to start when cold, check the GPR according to what I've read on this forum and it was bad, no voltage on the terminal with the orange and brown wires, replaced the GPR, now there is voltage on that terminal and the truck started fine, however it had warmed up to 40 degrees outside so I will leave it unpluged tonight and see is my problem is solved in the morning...thanks for the info, saved me some money by doing it myself

Valley of death is an understatement. I spent two hours with a light and mirror after reading the post, and no dice. Now that it is fixed, it's time to check why Fuse#102 seems to go every 2-3 months(It's better then the week or so originally) and my horn started acting funny. I saw that a connection to my air horn switch was broken off, then the wire broke in my hand. I am guessing it's electrical.
