    fan belt problem

    I have had the fan belt on my 1992.5 F250 come off twice now. Both times it was on the 1.5 mile driveway that is very rough. Also both time had quite a bit of water around. What does everyone think time for a new adjuster? -cuss

    Won't Start

    OK check to see if there was voltage at the glow plugs. None at all. Looks like it might be the controller reaching is going to be a bear.

    Won't Start

    YES I have it running now but it was hard to start. I think it is a glow plug problem will have to check after batteries are back up.

    Won't Start

    The WTS comes on and the Voltage pulls down during this time. What is weird is that it ran fine on Friday when I made a 100 mile trip to the bank and back. Yesterday and today I try to start and no good.

    Won't Start

    92.5 7.3 with a ATS turbo. Bloody thing will not start. Turns over just fine but not start. If it was a cat or big diesel I would just see if it would fire on ether. But with glow plugs that is not good. Any idea before I start tearing into it??-cuss

    This a manual 5 speed. But there is a connector under the hood by the fuze block on the fender left side. One person I know said that it looks like a dealer install.

    6BT Question

    Here is what I found today. I took the breather hose off. With the turbo hooked up there is steady Pressure coming out of the breather. As the RPM's come up there is more pressure. If breather is closed off dipstick blows out. This is not pulsing as if shut off by a valve. Any more ideas?
