all sorts of unusual electrical problems
Pull the cables off the battery and backside of the alternator. Look for internal corrosion and failure inside the wires. I had the wire completely fall off the alternator wire terminal but of course didn't find it until I had bought a new alternator.- Mutley

7.3 longevity
Only 145,000 miles (243,000 km) on the odo but she's running like a top. I can actually hear and feel the need for fresh rotella oil changes at 5,000 miles. I'm looking forward to at least 300,000 miles out of this ol girl. You made a good choice from the sounds of it. Enjoy.- Mutley

truck surges when cold, lope at idle?
Nasty cold nite here and forgot to plug the ol gal in. Took two attempts to start it and it loped about a dozen times before smoothing out. Lmao....dang thing's like a farm tractor. Never a lope issue when plugged in and instant firing. Well worth the electricity to avoid the super cold...- Mutley

Tell her the thing is junk and get it back. She doesn't know enough about a diesel to own it. Buy her a 90's minivan....:D- Mutley

While I was looking for a truck to buy..
That's a gordigeous pstroke in awesome condition. Well worth the money for the right person. I'd already have it if I didn't already have one....:D- Mutley

I'm confused. How the h*ll does a judge have the right to make you repair an ex wife's vehicle; especially after she ran it out of oil???? Give that judge an enema! Of course, it was probably a female judge wasn't it? cookoo It's proven these pstrokes will run on almost anything but the...- Mutley

HPOP rattle
I just went thru all that nonsense. Did the water pump and the upper pulley only to have the tensioned pulley fail. I'm getting the sense that it's best to replace entire groups of things on these trucks when the time comes. That tensioner sure did squeal like a scalded pig before it failed/seized.- Mutley

96 7.3L Powerstroke in 86 F-250
Sounds like a pretty tough conversion. Wouldn't it be a lot easier to put in an ol Cummins engine? (besides, of course the standard blasphemy of a cummins in a ford...haha)- Mutley

won't rev up
Ain't this just a case of EBPV taking it's sweet time to open all the way? I may have missed something here but have you unplugged it to see what happens yet? I do keep my block heater plugged in (uh, 4 degrees here at moment) but looking at some of these sig locations I don't see why you would...- Mutley

Should I buy this truck?
Listen to your g'friend dOOOOOOOd. She knows what she's talkin bout. I was blown away by the stability on the interstate with my dually CC and 30' TT. I saw no movement/sway whatsoever when the big rigs blew by. There's also the lil thang about 'looks'. Way cooler look than with single axle. God...- Mutley
