    powerstroke stalling when cold

    a month ago... ...changed all filters, still acts the same, no gelling problems. Seems directly related to engine operating temp and is not intermittent, same predictable PITA every morning.

    powerstroke stalling when cold

    not much to go on... ...sorry for the lack of info. Have not checked for codes so will do that. Truck has had regular oil changes. Cold? Sometimes. Live in central Ontario, about an hour north of Toronto, daytime temps around the freezing point these days. Truck has been ultra reliable until...

    powerstroke stalling when cold

    hi, need some help. Wife has 2001 F250 SuperDuty, 7.3 Powerstroke, 360,000 kilometres (~200,000 miles) on it. Starts fine if plugged in but will not stay running unless I ride the accelerator pedal. Trying to drive away while cold is brutal...stalls every 10 feet and then difficult to restart. A...

    dual mass??? single mass???

    thanks! ...as usual you guys have cut straight to the heart of the matter... so the DMF was a misguided effort...somewhere there was a director of engineering who let this one get off the rails. Where was Bill Ford when all this was going on??? so an SMF will not turn a ZF into scrap...

    dual mass??? single mass???

    OK, I admit I've been driving automatic transmissions for too long...(E4OD's and C6's). found an '89 F250 4x4 with a manual trans... but folks here seem to despise the dual mass flywheel. Why? Didn't some bright young engineer at Ford think it was a better idea? So...looking to educate myself...

    '84 F250 4X4 front axle?

    thanks! ...might go take a look at it, not too far from me, body looks good in the pics. It's an early 6.9 but if it has gone this far it should be OK. cheers,

    '94 hood release

    '94 F350 CC followed me home last spring, was running when I parked it. Now battery is dead. Can't get the hood up, release is seized. Grumpy wife says, "Move it before I call the tow truck." The clock is ticking... Help please.....................

    Great price on 6.9 ARP studs.

    nuts...6 pt vs 12 pt OK...I bought an '87 F250 with a 6.9 (body is falling off) so I finally have the engine for my project truck. No turbo in the plans but ARP studs have a certain "cool" factor. What is the advantage/disadvantage of 12 point nuts? thanks,

    6.9, E4OD compatability?

    thanks... ...for all the input. I figure this to be a 3 year project at my pace. I'll go see the 6.9 this week...it's one of those "it ran great when I parked it two years ago trucks". My donors are complete vehicles (more or less) which should make side by side parts swapping easier. Funny how...

    6.9, E4OD compatability?

    hi all, I'm still collecting donors for my project. The end result will be a 1990 F250 4x4 extended cab. I have located a 1987 F250 4x4 with a C6 and the elusive 6.9. Here's the question...will the 6.9 bolt up to an E4OD? thanks,

    6.9 into a '96 F350?

    ok, ok, I'm convinced... ...not worth the hassle. I looked at a '96 with a blown engine. It's in excellent condition...I just hate to pour money into the PowerStroke. I'll keep looking... thanks,

    6.9 into a '96 F350?

    can I replace the 7.3 P/S in a '96 with a 6.9? interface issues? mechanical/electrical? will the PCM be looking for sensor signals that are no longer there? more pain that it is worth? thanks,

    engine speed for best fuel economy?

    wind resistance? how does wind resistance factor into this? If wind resistance is x at 40 mph, is it 8x at 80 mph? And how significant is that with respect to mileage? I've read that the torque peak is ~ 1600 rpm for our engines. Is that the optimum rpm for best mileage? just wondering,
