    Throttle hesitation and almost dies

    Whoops! just read my initial post. Truck has 142,000 miles not 242,000 so that being said it very well may be time for a new IP. What's the average life of an IP and what are signs of a tired one? Thanks! -Rob

    Throttle hesitation and almost dies

    Hey guys, my 94 F250, old faithful, just started acting up. Was hauling logs to the wood pile last night and noticed the engine running funny. If I try to rev the truck it requires the pedal to be depressed much further and it hesitates then when I let off the engine almost dies then levels out...

    Truck died, any ideas?

    Truck died last night right after I pulled over cause of a burning smell...turns out that was the maxi fuse frying. I swapped a new fuse in, glow plugs cycle, truck starts then dies 3 seconds later. I can run a jumper to the fuel sulinoid and the engine runs fine but the glow plugs don't...

    Humvee tires

    It depends on weather you're refering to biased ply tires or radials. Had a set of goodyear 36" biased ply hummer tires on my truck. They rode aweful, had flat spots every morning, wore out quickly. They looked cool but would never use them again. I now have a used set of BFG mud terrains...

    Who switched to electric fuel pump?

    I know exactly what your refering to, I replaced the LP a few weeks ago as cheap insurance before a road trip and I had to take the pass side inner fender off to get a good angle to scape the gasket material off. -Rob

    Who switched to electric fuel pump?

    Cool. So most electric pumps push better than pull so put it on the frame near the tank. I'll probably just make a block off plate out of aluminum. Just curious, how well does the stock lift pump handle veggie oil? thanks for all the good info -Rob

    What is this part?

    Been losing fuel prime when the truck sits, well found the leak. Its dripping pretty fast from under this little black cap/wire connector. I don't have a book for the truck, is it a fuel pressure sensor or something? How do I get it off? the connector doesn't want to budge and I don't want...

    tack is iffy

    I'll give it a shot, think I cleaned it once a long time ago when the E4OD was in the truck and I was trying to solve shifting probs (by the way the zf fixed those very well). Are they expensive new or something? Gonecrazy, thanks, not sure if I'll be up that way soon but if I am I'll take...
