    Anyone had this problem?

    Did you check the t-case output flange for radial and in/out play? If that large nut holding the flange on gets loose it can cause a vibration.....the torque on that nut is something like 150 ft/lbs I think (?) Flat spotted tires could also be the issue if you hardly drive the truck.

    Diagnosing Drivabilty Issue

    Check out the throttle position sensor (TPS) and idle validation switch (IVS) at the pedal. When first pressing the pedal you should hear the IVS switch click closed telling the PCM that the pedal is being depressed and to begin looking at the TPS for throttle input. My guess is when you get...

    Air to water intercooler

    Why? What are your EGT temps? Stock or modified? Most EGT problems can be solved by downshifting into a lower gear and getting more air into the engine.

    Hard start white smoke

    How does the truck start when on the "stock" setting ? If the problem occurred after installing the chip and nothing else....I would suspect the chip isn't tuned correctly to your truck.

    No EGR certainly helps! The archoil cleaned the area directly below the oil spouts to where it was shiny as new compared to the brownish color in your photo (which is still fantastic and sludge free!)

    Hot Shots secret stiction eliminator....

    Archoil AR9100 16oz bottle treats a typical 7.3 PSD oil change I noticed the first time I used it that my oil got darker much more quickly than normal over the course of a 5k oil change interval. Archoil eliminated my "injector knock" as I would call it which was more pronounced when cold as...

    obs with 4r100 swap

    TC lockup control would be an issue. The E4OD has an on/off solenoid. The 4R100 has a pulse width modulation solenoid. Not sure how you would get around that with an OBS PCM.

    94.5 f350 7.3 psd wont start. Looking for pcm in houston area

    I have PC based version of autoenginuity and like it's interface and that it can read almost every vehicle out there. It has paid for itself at least 10x over. https://www.autoenginuity.com/products/scantool/ I have heard of people using the torquepro app with a bluetooth adapter to connect to...

    Really need a scan tool or torquepro app to see what the PCM is trying to do compare to what is actually being logged

    How are you determining 200psi of hpo ?

    Codes P0269 & P0284

    I’d check the glow plug system to make sure it’s working 100% before condemning injectors. You can also check armature clearance on your injectors while still in the truck.

    Have you tried cranking with the ICP unplugged? Do you have a scan tool that can monitor IPR duty cycle? 65% is max duty cycle.

    IMO your PCM is good. I'd look at wiring chaffing (the large harness going over the passenger valve cover is a known failure point, if anything I'd take it apart and clean the contacts inside the harness plug). Has the pigtail for the IPR ever been replaced? That failed on my 97 and caused a no...

    I asked earlier...do you get the "check engine light" when turning the key to on ? Does the light go out after a second or two or does it stay on ?

    Check for loose injector hold down bolts while you have the valve covers off. Spec is 120 in/lbs but i have tightened them up with a 1/4 socket good and tight. If the truck runs good I wouldn’t put too much though into a failed contribution test. How many miles on the injectors?

    box code is on the PCM label that has the ford part number you referenced. If you are getting a "check engine light" when first turning the key to "on" that means your PCM is powering up. Does the CEL stay on? If so there are codes stored that may tell what is wrong with your truck. If the...

    What’s the box code? Should be 4 letters or numbers. Do you get a check engine light when first keying to on ?

    Do you have a picture of the old PCM label so I can cross-reference what will be compatible? Also what makes you think your PCM is faulty? Common failure is the fuel bowl heater which blows the fuse that is also powering the PCM.

    1988 7.3 IDI sawp into 2000 truck?

    I've never done this, but you most likely could leave the PSD harnesses intact and just run switched power to the fuel cutoff solenoid on the IDI. You'll get a boatload of codes on the PCM and the SES dash may look like a christmas tree but it would probably run. Does the 00 F350 have a...

    Considering installing the larger rear fuel tank in my Powerstroke without bed removal

    You’ll loose the spare tire mounting. Do you do a lot of driving where you need the extra capacity? For me on the highway with 32 gallons between both stock tanks I can get close to 600 miles before refueling.

    Rear axle problem

    I'd look for a used axle at this point and rebuild or run as is if in decent shape.

    7.3 compressor wheel

    I wouldn't go cheap on something that if it fails will destroy the engine. How much play is in your existing turbo? I've never heard of a turbo failure with stock tuning.

    7.3 PSD starts, runs, dies

    I've heard of water in the SD, but not the OBS trucks. Intersting....maybe IDM seals are failing after 2+ decades. Glad you got the truck fixed.
