Sometimes it's right infront of you.
I just wanted to thank all of you that posted solutions for air intrusion issues. After some reading and searching the site i was able to troubleshoot and repair all the problems that were affecting the no start issues. The PO could not repair this truck and ended up selling it to me. This is a...- jbuck

swapping from synthetic to conventional oil. will it hurt it?
If your not extending your drain intervals and don't care about the added protection of Synthics than there is not a problem. Make sure your changing the oil in the high pressure oil resevoir. There is 3 quarts in there that don't cycle very well and you won't see anything in the Ford Manual on...- jbuck

Need Injectors
I see this topic "bad injectors" a lot on the forums and i know that the Power Stroke need clean oil to lubricate the injectors and make them last a long time.

First IDI - F250 dually 4x4
The return line kit will fix that issue. air is being drawn into the injectors, I have the same issue. John Riggins (Riggo) is a Hall of Fame Inductee. Everbody knows him in DC. I would think that might increase the price of the truck on resale. Redskins fans are nuts about the team. I still see...- jbuck

Injection pump or headgasket
Yeah i know i just wish it was running so i could test combustion gases in antifreeze to confirm head gasket. When a truck runs lean because IP is going bad will it cause white smoke?- jbuck

Injection pump or headgasket
Looking at a 1988 F-250 that does not run. Owner said it lost power and was blowing white smoke from exhaust. Mechanic (not diesel mechanic) told him he thought it was injection pump or injectors. Injection pump would be loss of fuel so would no fuel account for the white smoke? Looking at it...- jbuck

Added a Scout to the mix
That's cool and looks to be in really good shape. Not your typical 4x4 that you see everday. Nice find- jbuck
