    Looking to buy an ext. cab long bed F250 PSD zf5 4x4 with 130,000 miles. I know this is considerably low miles for the motor and truck. Is there anything I should look for besides possible glow plugs needing replaced and clutch wear?

    I have my truck timed to about 9.3 degrees advanced for running the ultra low sulfur fuel. Now that it is summer time should my timing be advanced more or should I retard it more for the W85 mixture. I thought I remembered someone on the 6.9/7.3 IDI forum stating that timing need to be set...

    Truck just shut off like I turned the key off but I didn't. Can get it to turn over by jumping the relay on the fender but not getting any fuel. It's like I lost power to the ignition because the fuel gauge doesn't move when the key is on
