    Low Compression? Rough Idle

    Ok, truck was brought by for a rough idle. To me it's hardly noticeable. Had new injectors less than say 10k ago. Its a 97 with 190k, but it's a feed truck. Contribution was fine, ICP is 500ish at idle. At idle it burns your eyes with the fuel smell. Little smoke but once warm no real smoke...

    Buying a 6.4???

    Ok, long story short, wifey is wanting to trade her car for a 6.4. One is an 08 250 CCSB KR 200k "bone stock". Other is CCLB 450 DRW with 180k. DPF and egr have fallen off.

    Truck won't start. Weird Buzz Test

    01 F-350. Drove the truck in the garage and was trying to diagnose a hot start problem. Next day won't start. Now only #1 injector buzzes on a buzz test. Swapped out IDM with one laying around and same thing. Figured maybe I'd ohm some wiring, just seems odd that only one buzzes. Anyone have...

    Massive oil Leak....Van vs. Truck difference?

    Doing a swap from a 96 van into a 01 Super duty. Swapped everything over except the front cover. Put it in, and start cranking and oil is coming from where the oil cooler bolts to the front cover. I used the truck oil cooler. The ends are slightly different between the van and truck. Pulled it...

    Intermittent dying.

    Ok guys working on a friends 97 and the truck basically won't idle. There are times it will idle a few minutes, other times not at all. If you drive down the road and let out of the throttle most of the time it will die. Tried numerous CPS (ford) with no luck. Unplugged ICP thinking maybe a hpo...

    No Power Maxifuse 22

    Alright truck is a 97, I'm getting now power in or out of maxi fuse 22. I've searched everywhere to see where that power in comes from but all I found is why the 22 blows. The fuse isn't blown just no power in. Anyone know where this input power comes from , OR any usual issues? thanks

    Help with PCS

    I bought Brian Boysel's red truck that he raced. Some of you probably know the truck. I need some help with the PCS, as he never quite got it working right. It's controlling an E4OD. The trouble is with the converter locking. It won't unlock when you let out and if you try to drive it normal it...

    Bad IDM?

    Ok, working on my Dad's 02 7.3. Guy he sold it to said it needed a motor, so dad bought it back half price. Ended up being 2.5 gallons low on oil, so no ICP. After we got it running it never would start right even after a 300-400 miles. Still started like crap. Does have blowby, but still ran...

    Extremely low compression?

    Ok, bought a truck that wouldn't run. Has good icp, injectors all sound good. Decided to check compression. On the driver side I got 280, 120, 80, 80. Seems odd that the motor could be that hurt. Haven't got the passenger side tore apart. Going to squirt some oil in tomorrow and see if it...

    03 Excursion Wandering!

    Ok, not sure if this is the right place, but I feel that it is probably due to some suspension. Anyway, 03 Excursion has about a 6" lift with 35" tires. I don't remember it wandering when we first got it about a year ago, but now it's no fun to drive. I feel completely out of control while...

    97 Keeps dying!

    97 7.3 with 315k. Has a bit of a surge at an idle. Then it will die. Driving down the road it's fine but will die while coasting. Starts right back up though. At first it was throwing a CPS code. Swapped it out for another one (Black), first was grey from Ford and still doing the same thing but...
