Wont start in the morning, water in fuel.
I think I figured it out- My rear tank started leaking pretty good while it was sitting in the driveway. Don't have a lot of time to mess with it right now- between work and school I'm home to sleep and that's about it.- IH_444

Wont start in the morning, water in fuel.
I put a bottle of ISO HEET in the rear tank and then filled it up. It worked.. kinda. Went to start the truck tonight.. had that nasty knock while cranking but started after a few seconds. No WIF light. Was running pretty rough til it idled for a few minutes. I drove it around and the WIF...- IH_444

I have a stock fuel filter. I don't think theyre much of a water seperator. I do have a 12 V pump, Where would be the easiest place to hook it to?- IH_444

Draining tanks doesn't sound like much fun. We will see what happens I guess. The methyl hydrate sounds like an interesting try.- IH_444

Truck runs fine. One morning it didn't start. The water in fuel light came on. I changed filter and it was fine. Next day, same ****. There was one day in the last week that it started without draining the filter. When I turn the key on, no WIF light. After cranking it comes on. It sputters and...- IH_444

Chips for 94-97 PSD
There seems to be a good number of people happy with the wildman chip. While more power is always good, I want better mileage and my tranny to shift earlier under normal driving. Probly look into a chip this summer. I might need new injectors first.- IH_444

Chips for 94-97 PSD
I sold my IDI and bought a 96 powerstroke a few weeks ago. I plan on putting some sort of a chip/tune in it, but not entirely sure what yet. I obviously want more power, and some MPG. It's an automatic, and I'd like the trans to shift earlier, it shifts at about 2500 normal driving. Pros and...- IH_444

cold starting your truck
I put a different starter on mine, cranks plenty fast, still doesn't start worth a ****. Today it was around 10F. Cycled twice, it sputtered two times then nothing. Cycle again, sputters once and thats it. It will only kick once every time you cycle the plugs. Somehow after probly 10 tries it...- IH_444

cold starting your truck
I really need to get my starter switched. Mine won't start as fast as Justins did in the video even when it's 90 degrees out. With temps below 20 lately, it just barely turns when I try to start it, then it gradually speeds up and starts.- IH_444

cold starting your truck
Mine starts hard all the time, even at 60 takes a full 10 seconds of cranking. I got told my starter is weak, but I have seen IDI's crank even slower than mine does and still start. If it' below 20 out, good luck. It will start, with 2 10 second cranking cycles. I have a starter I wanted to try...- IH_444

Rear antilock light keeps coming on
I have owned several ford trucks "our" style. I never once have seen the rear antilock help anything or even work very good, of course I dislike all antilock brakes myself. I'd just take the bulb out, problem solved. I did that on my '91 F150. I'm going to disable the aintilock brakes on my...- IH_444

Auto Insurance and our trucks.
Damn, I'm 18, 2 tickets (1 this year and 1 2 yrs ago) and I was paying about $75 a month for liability. Since I can't afford to insure 2 vehicles at this rate, I don't have insurance on the F250 anymore, but the S10 instead, which is still $72. Once I get spring hangers on 250 and snow flies...- IH_444
