    97’ F-250 PSD Fuel tank issues

    I would guess the float has a pin hole and filled with fluid so it sinks. It could also be an electrical issue from with the sending unit or wiring. You'll probably have to drop the tank if its the float. You can check the resistance of the sending unit to make sure its within the normal range...

    P24AF Code - Particulate Matter Sensor Code

    I believe its been driven enough at this point that it would have came back if it was going to and it has not. It seems like its only required to change the sensor and no programming or calibrating is required.

    P24AF Code - Particulate Matter Sensor Code

    Quick follow-up. I finally got this sensor changed out. I believe the PN I ended up getting from the dealership was JC3Z-5L239-C. I should double check the box. It was quite a bit more expensive from my local dealer than some of the online ford stores (Tasca, etc), but I was able to show them...

    P1728 - Transmission Slip Fault

    I took some pictures with the inspection cover off. The TC is rusty so I am not sure if that means it has been hot and then burnt the paint off, or if it hasn't been hot enough discolor. I drove the truck a little and the TC locked up just fine now, it wasn't enough to get up to temp or pulling...

    P1728 - Transmission Slip Fault

    Thanks for the responses. I'll see if i have time this weekend to pull the inspection cover and try and look at slip and converter clutch duty cycle. Just to confirm, both of these channels will be available with an E4OD? I will also probably start shopping for TC, thanks for the mention of...

    P1728 - Transmission Slip Fault

    No one even has a suggestion for a brand of stock/a little better than stock torque converter? @Mark Kovalsky is there a way to check solenoids or anything to troubleshoot, or do I just need to get a torque converter?

    P24AF Code - Particulate Matter Sensor Code

    I have cleared the code and it comes back at the next regen so the check engine light stays on. I am planning to buy a new sensor, but I am curious if anyone knows whether this needs to be programmed/calibrated after installation or not. If so, is this something I can do with Forscan? I think...

    P1728 - Transmission Slip Fault

    1997 F-350, TS Chip with Gearhead Tunes, Adrenaline HPOP, same transmission its had since I got it 110k miles ago (presumably stock or stock rebuild as there is currently about 246k total on the truck). For the last couple years I would very occasionally get a P1728 code. This would only...

    2008 F-350 slight vibration

    Auto hubs can stop functioning correctly, but usually they stay unlocked no matter what, though I have heard of them rarely getting stuck on. Could try spinning the drivelines with the wheels on the ground to confirm they are both actually unlocked, but likely not a the issue. That was my next...

    developed some steering play

    I know some also replace with a borgeson steering shaft that isn't susceptible to some of this type of play. I haven't done it myself yet, but the steering has gotten looser, so likely will in the future.

    A1000 Fuel pump alternatives

    At those levels I think a stock superduty pump is probably adequate and reliable.

    Favorite injectors

    I had a spare HPOP at the time, so that made my troubleshooting pretty easy (after I tried an IPR on the side of the road that didn't do it).

    Favorite injectors

    You might contact dieselsite to see what they have to say. I had one fail after quite a few years and miles (not as many as you though) and I was content with the service and resolution I received.

    Stand Alone Trans Controller & OneGauge Digital Gauges

    Disclaimer: I have not found out for myself. However, I thought the only thing needed from the dash on a 7.3 was a bulb or resistor in place of the battery "idiot light" on the dash. I believe it is part of the line that completes the signal from the PCM to tell the alternator to charge.

    Do it all tire recommendations

    I have had really good luck with BFG ATs on my 97 with 200k+ miles. 40-50k miles on a set, quite a bit of towing and some general driving. I did have the first set where the middle tread wore out running at max pressure. The next set is doing better running them at a little lower pressure. They...

    Fuel tank selector valve bypass method?

    As long as one had fuel you should be OK from a cavitation stand point. However if one tank has fuel higher than the top of the other, (ie, both full) it could cause fuel to run out the vent of the lower tank (the tanks are not sitting at the same height). I also think an assumption that the...

    I really appreciate looking but that's getting a little steep for my rust bucket. I'll try the aftermarket and get back with you if it's complete junk. Thanks again, and you'll have my business again.

    I guess if you don't mind seeing if you can track it down, I would be interested in seeing what they want for it. Thanks, John
