    Won’t restart after sitting for 30 minutes

    I had a similar problem awhile back. Truck would start cold. If ran until warmed up, would crank back up if immediately cranked after shutting off. But if you let it sit for about 30 or so minutes, would not crank until truck completely cooled back off. I thought was injector pump, did cool...

    A light in the dash I didn't know I had came on today

    I agree.. change fuel filter. If that doesn’t work, and your fuel filter light starts coming on at idle when you aren’t pressing on pedal..do yourself a favor and have a lift pump sitting by.

    New Problem

    I am going to do my best to explain this new issue. Today while driving my truck seemed to drastically loose power, then it would immediately return. Tach would drop, then rise. For lack of better terms, maybe surge? Crazy thing was, at idle the tach would drop to near zero..but the engine...

    Batteries read 12.7 but slow cranks

    I recently had a similar issue. Truck would crank fine cold. If ran for awhile, then shut off..then crank right after shutdown, would start fine. Let sit for 30 minutes to an hour…and would not crank like it had weak batteries. Thought it was injector pump going out. Turned out starter was weak...

    Need Some Help

    All, thank you for all the reply’s and help. I thought I would follow back up and let everyone know how things turned out. I tried the cool water test over the injection pump with no result. Which made me wonder if it was the pump giving me the problem. So, I ended up putting a Powermaster...

    Fuel Leak at Lift Pump

    Thanks guys for the help. IDIBronco, I don’t believe I cross threaded the nut. When I discovered leak I snugged it up a bit just to make sure it was tight enough, and it still leaked. I might try to unthread it and reattach it later this afternoon just to make sure it is attached correctly.

Installed the new pump…now I have a fuel leak at the connector to the lift pump. Are the fuel connector lines from the filter to...

    Another lift pump lets me down.

    My lift pump recently failed. I put in a Carter which seems to be doing ok. I was able to purchase an actual Ford pump as well from https://parts.lakelandford.com/testimonials.aspx If the Carter gives trouble, I have the Ford on standby.

I have had multiple issues arise over the course of those miles, namely a failed thermostat, idler pulley...

    Broke Outer Stub

    Thanks everyone for the information! I am having to get replacement parts online...no local part stores seem to carry parts needed. Hopefully it will hold together until parts get here because unfortunately my other vehicle's fuel pump is out.

    Broke Outer Stub

    All, I am looking for a little advice. I was changing the oil today on my 93 F350, and noticed the front axle stub was broke as shown in pic. Can anyone advise on if the 93 came with 30 or 35 spline outers? Also, how dangerous is this to drive?

    Overheating

    Thank you for the replys. The information is much appreciated! I checked the bottom radiator hose...while I do not feel that it has a spring in it, it was not collapsing. I normally prefer to figure out and work on my own equipment, however I did notify the shop that put the engine in since it...
