    Cruise issue?

    The first thing that I would do with something like this is to pull the chip and get it back to stock and see if it happens.

    Zf5 preload questions

    I don't know if I would mess with it. Can you put a pair of pliers on it and then turn it with a little bit of leverage. If nothing else I would call the shop that rebuilt it and ask them. You start to mess with it and odds are your warranty that you might have on it will go out the window.

    Need some help

    The 96 does not have a limp mode and you would be better off posting about this up in the 94-97 forums. If it has thown a cel then there is a code stored that you need to retrieve to figure out what is happening. Which means that you need to find a scanner that is capable of reading the...

    Replacement injectors, rebuilt or new?

    Would you rather they charge a extra $1000.00 for the new or rebuilt injectors and let you worry about the cores?

    Replacement injectors, rebuilt or new?

    So that you'll send in the old injectors to be rebuilt so that those that can't afford new ones can purchase rebuilt ones. In the long run it should keep the price of both new and rebuilt down, but I doubt that it ever does.

    Unknown loss of power hard start issue

    You need to get the code read by someone that can read it. That means a actual garage or the dealer. 99% of the auto parts stores out there can not read the codes from a Ford diesel engine. Other than that most of us are going to be just guessing. A quick and fairly cheap thing to try...

    2010 6.4 Won't Start After Emergency Shutdown

    Time to call the hook and get out the credit card.

    1994 f250 power stroke 4x4 5 speed loosing coolant

    You need to pressurize the cooling system when the engine is cold and see where you are loosing coolant from. If not somewhere that you can see it then it is going to be somewhere that you can't. Have you looked at your oil to see if there is water in it? It might look milky or different than...

    1994 f250 power stroke 4x4 5 speed loosing coolant

    If it isn't leaking from any other place and it starts as soon as you start the engine I would suspect compression gases or injector cups, but leaning heavy on compression gases. Does the coolant smell like diesel?

    1994 f250 power stroke 4x4 5 speed loosing coolant

    Was it physical the same size as your old one? The last time that I changed out my water pump I fought a leak and found it on the O rings on the heater hose fitting. Also the thermostat housing has a habit of warping and leaking unless you replace it also or get the flat metal flange kit to...

    Zf5 fluid

    Perhaps that is why he is having a problem.

    Zf5 fluid

    All you are going to do with running a thicker oil than is recommended is mask the problem that you already have. It won't fix anything and I doubt that it will allow the transmission to last any longer. I just run synthetic ATF from Walmart and have had no problems with it.

    1996 7.3 cranks hard but won't start

    ^^^^^^^^ This will also work. Any IDM from any 7.3 Powerstroke will work

    1996 7.3 cranks hard but won't start

    Have your checked the wiring from the IDM harness into the injectors? It's a simple test with a volt/ohm meter. It won't tell you if the IDM is bad but the wiring to the injectors along with the resistance of the injector. Also you can pull the IDM off of the fender and give it a shake and...

    1996 7.3 cranks hard but won't start

    If you don't have access to a scanner I would check the oil level in the high pressure oil pump. There is a allen head screw that you can remove and look inside, the level should be within 1/2" of the top. If that looks OK I would pull one of the valve covers and watch the injectors as someone...

    Transmission upgrade? 5 speed

    Why not just have a shop rebuild it? That would be a lot cheaper than either a rebuilt one or a new one if you could find one.

    How long is the check engine light supposed to stay on?

    I'm surprised that it would show you the RPM's. Most and I will say 99% of the code readers out there will not read the data from the Powerstroke engines PCM even if there is a problem. Most will use AutoEnginuity and a laptop, and there are some that are using their smart phones with a app...

    How long is the check engine light supposed to stay on?

    What scanner are you using? These trucks are particular on what can be used on them.

    95 obs turn signals, overdrive not working

    The third brake light causes some weird problems but I doubt that it is your problem. I'm betting on the multi-function switch.

    How long is the check engine light supposed to stay on?

    Where it says to add oil you are 2 quarts low, so I would top it off. You also might want to check the oil level in the High Pressure Oil Pump. If you have been cranking it for a while and it hasn't started it might be low.
