Clutch Issues
Thanks for that. It's one more thing to check! I can't get under the truck to do anything myself, so I'll have to trust the trans shop...but they're very good and they tend to listen.- unclehoser

Clutch Issues
That makes sense. I'll have it checked out when they pull the trans. I'd still like to know how a clutch goes into slip mode after only a bit over 20K miles, though. There has to be a reason, even if it's just a lousy junk clutch kit. Good parts are hard to find these days.- unclehoser

Clutch Issues
Well, gentlemen, it's been quite a while since I felt the need to post a question here, but I just lurk and read a lot! My time has come... Truck is a 2002 F250 7.3 PSD with a ZF6 manual trans, not a 4x4. I purchased it pre-owned in January 2017 with about 204,000 miles on the odometer. About...- unclehoser

Electrical issues.
Don't give up yet! You've got funds invested. Step back, regroup, think, analyze, and keep asking advice HERE. They're simple machines, nothing more, and man rules them! If man built it, man can fix it. I knew absolutely nothing about diesel engines or my particular truck four years ago. Thanks...- unclehoser

Draining your oil...any opinions?
Just wondered if anyone has had experience with Fumoto drain valves. It's windy 99% of the time here, and that last 'trickle' of oil after the majority has drained wants to blow all over the driveway. Seems like one of these things and a short piece of tubing would stop that problem! Anybody...- unclehoser

HPOP Fitting O-rings
Thank you, sir! In answer to your questions: Last year, the first instance of the problem, I used new fittings. This year, I just replaced the internal O-rings, which were visibly determined destroyed upon inspection, and the external O-rings upon reassembly. The point of leakage was instantly...- unclehoser

HPOP Fitting O-rings
One year ago, almost to the day, I replaced the HPOP fittings & O-rings on my '02 F250. About a month ago, I left for work and got about 1/2 mile from home, and the truck started running like crap, almost seemed like it was fuel-starved. Limped back to the house, parked, drove another vehicle...- unclehoser

Drive train experts...please step inside!
That issue was dealt with a while back, when I had problems with clutch hydraulics and a messed-up pedal and linkage (posted here, as I recall...). The fork measured out OK at that point. The thing that's really driving me nuts about this whole scenario is the 'intermittent' nature of the...- unclehoser

So, now we go clutch shopping! Sure are lots of vendors/choices/options out there...but I'm sure I'll find the 'perfect match' LOL! My Visa account is starting to love me! I appreciate all the help...and to show my thanks, I'll inject a bit of truck humor at the link...- unclehoser

With everything being said, it looks like it will be heading to a 'pro' for repairs. So....... Who is the favorite for clutch kits? Stock engine, stock trans, daily driver that occasionally pulls a 7000-pound travel trailer. There are quite a few to select from, from what I've seen in a short...- unclehoser

The advice is good, as usual! I now have a better understanding of what could be malfunctioning. This problem, more than likely, will be left up to someone with the shop, the tools, the lift, etc....my back doesn't like being underneath vehicles, and this one is my main mode of transportation. I...- unclehoser

There's nothing to video, sadly. It's a rumble, a vibration, that I can feel. It's reminiscent of a failed u-joint or carrier bearing, but stops completely when the clutch is disengaged or the trans is in neutral. My first reaction was 'u-joint', but that should be apparent any time the drive...- unclehoser

Don't know if it's the original clutch. I bought the truck with 214K on the odometer, and I have about 240K on it now. I guess the only way to know for sure is to have someone tear it apart and inspect stuff. I really don't understand the terminology, though. I've seen 'dual mass' flywheels...- unclehoser

I wish it was that simple. There's not much for specialty shops in this little spot on the map! If I could travel and wait, I guess I could head to the 'big city'.

Crazy problem. My 2002 F250 Powerstroke with ZF6 tranny is experiencing a "vibration" or "rumble" at low RPMs. Seems to be most noticeable between 1000-1500 RPM, and is directly associated with RPM, as opposed to speed. Also seems to be worse when not under load, such as after a downshift or...- unclehoser

Intermittent cruise control
Sorry it took a while to reply, I've been preoccupied with other stuff! Yes, it was the switch, damned Rube Goldberg arrangement that it is. It's a pair of switches, actually, consisting of a common contact and two make/break contacts actuated by a sliding sort of 'bridge' contact, if you will...- unclehoser
