    No brake boost at idle

    There is an easier test , Let your truck sit for a while and then hook up a vacuum gauge at the point of where cluster of vacuum hoses meet the 5 way fitting under the dash. Start the truck and if your truck takes more than 30 seconds to reach 20+ on the vacuum gauge your pump is no good. But...

    Hard starts, stalls. Surges too

    Question ? With bad tank , are you under 1/4 tank? Also those "burts" you refer to are air intrusions in your fuel line, causes more air in the chamber which gives you sudden burst of acceleration. And if the problem only.happens with the bad tank and not the good tank then your issue is...

    Rpms read zero without throttle

    Replace the tach sensor that's in the block near the IP, even with the alternator in the front of your motor. That should also help shift better too. 89$ fix

    Click-IDIy Click; No Start.

    Fuel leak it sounds like, under the fuel filter there a drain screw that might be loose, make sure it's tight , you should open the Schrader valve when it is running and check for bubbles , you could have an air intrusion from the heater element on top of the fuel filter housing as well, that o...

    7.3 idi F350 overheats while pulling

    You don't have enough air flow , you can buy a 10 row or 100 row radiator , doesn't matter all that does is make it take longer to get to operating temperature. Insufficient Air flow is your problem. But could be that you need to run a motorcraft thermostat

    Air in my fuel filter 94 idi turbo

    I agree the fuel heater on the fuel filter is a spot to check, I sealed mine with JP weld and swapped all the o rings in the fuel return lines and the injectors and that solved my fuel intrusion leak. Also check your fuel pump. I live in socal so I don't need the fuel heater.

    Hard starting

    I don't think it's glow plugs , if it started after sitting for 30 min but didn't start after 8 hours , I think you have air in your fuel line , which is causing the fuel to not be under vaccuum and that causes the fuel to drain back into the tank and then you have to pump it back up the fuel...

Air intrusion is it your issue 100%. Couple different ways to fix ...
