Hey all, I have a 7.3 CC coming up on its 250,000 mile oil change. I made the mistake of buying 12 quarts of conventional oil and 3 quarts of synthetic blend. I really was not paying attention on this one, I usually run a full synthetic. My normal change interval is 5,000 miles. Both oils are...

Recently I’ve been having transmission problems on my early 1999 f250 SD so I got a donor truck to put the running transmission into mine. Same year same engine, everything matched up. I made a torque converter mistake when mounting it onto the engine and only realized I made the mistake when i...

We've recently acquired a 2003 F250 7.3L Diesel. Apparently we purchased someone else's hand-me-down headache. 1. The batteries keep dying. I'm using a battery disconnect to keep them from being discharged but even so they only power the truck for an hour or two before being discharged. 2. I've...

I have a 2013 Ford F-250. Put after market headlights in it that were plug and play. Drove it home after work and pulled it into shop. Went to pull it out and noticed driver side headlights weren’t working. Can anyone help diagnose this issue? Checked fuses and they were fine. Headlights worked...

Ok so I’m new to the diesel world, just bout an early 99 model 7.3 f250. So the guy I bought it from inherited it from his father who passed away recently. The father had put a lot of money into this truck. Everytime I look around I find another banks performance part. I mean there’s all kinds...

When driving at about 65-70 mph i run about 1800-2100 rpm but sometimes when going up steep inclines the cruise will drop the trans into 3rd gear and the rpms skyrocket to 3000+ rpm. Always catches me off guard and scares the sht out of me. Is this something I should be worried about?

My '99 7.3L PowerStroke Diesel has a hard time starting. While both batteries measure over 12.5 and full capacity, cranking the engine (the cranking seems slow) will drain the batteries enough fairly quickly -- to the point of not being able to crank the engine. When I am able to get it...

Anyone have any insights on a loose shifter? I can hardly feel the difference between each position (P,N,D, etc) I checked the torx bracket under the dash and it ain't loose. I can disconnect the linkage at the tranny and manually move the metal lever on the transmission. It clicks real well...

Hey all, I just need someone to indentify for me which way the cruise control wires shown here line up. The harness side connecter burned up but the in-between connector looks fine. Instead of getting a whole new main body harness I am just going to solder the wires together. But I don't...

I believe that the truck needs new batteries. I have not yet gone to some place like NTB and have them check out the charging system but I plan to do that. Also, my son advises to also change out the battery cables at the same time. There is mild corrosion at the battery. My questions are...

I have a 1985 f250, with a 6.9 idi and a c6 transmission and Im experiencing top end speed loss. When I bought the truck, it would run about 65 mph @ 3500 rpm. Injectors were leaking, so I replaced all 8 and replaced all the filters on the truck. Also replaced the alternator. Right after...

Good morning, Gonna try to keep this as simple as possible. About a month ago I was having an issue with my brakes. I found a bleeder seat in the rear right caliper was shot so I replaced it, bled the calipers and all was good. Then a few days later I lost my brakes completely. Only leak I...

So we got the truck from a dealership in November and it rode just fine 178k miles and drove like a beauty, well 2 weeks after that is when it started making the popcorn compression like sounds, then the next week it fixed itself, that happened about 3 times and no one knew what the issue could...

Howdy, Long time reader, first time poster. I live up in Bozeman, MT and recently drove my 2000 F250 7.3 Super Duty down from here to Texas and back (1700 miles one way). It has 190,000 miles on it. We almost made it to Bozeman, when in Sheridan we suddenly noticed rapid oil loss and some rough...

I have a 2002 f250 with the 7.3. Stock engine with approx 250k miles. Automatic transmission. Cylinder 5 shows symptoms of a stuck injector. I unplugged the injector, and the white smoke went away. Plug it back in and it returns. Only one code has pulled and it is a p0275. Thinking it was just...

I bought this truck a year ago and a half ago. I have changed almost everything in the engine compartment related to starting, fuel, seals, belts and hoses. I am having a problem while driving where she cavitates and dies. There is a strong metal on metal smell from the engine compartment (she...

Hi all, Ive got a 96 F250 diesel with a drain. I’ve been hunting it for a while, however I believe I’ve now found the source. When the batteries are connected/disconnected the compressor clutch engages/disengages. Both batteries used to drain fully in a matter of days, I’ve verified this to...
