    Need help ASAP, truck is dead!

    I went out and took readings on my 97. I believe the alternators are the same. Battery out is the lug on the back. I checked it with the engine off no key in ignition, then I started it and took measurements again. While the glow plugs were on the battery read 11.7 After glow plugs cut off 14.5...

    Fuel Selection Valve issues

    I think the problem with the FSV normally comes from the fuel pickup in the tank falling apart and the bits of plastic/nylon cause problems in the valve.

    If you can find a 1989 owners manual it may have the information. I found this manual online. it doesn‘t say 1989 though.

    does FORD has a dept. where to get valid techn. data which I can use for registration?

    Your 11,000 GVW is total maximum loaded weight for your truck. Your truck probably has a curb weight of around 7,000 (you need to weigh it) so your carrying capacity would be 4,000. The GCVR is 16,000 with 3.55 gears and 20,000 with 4.10 gears. If your truck is loaded to capacity of 11,000 your...

    What type of data are you needing? Most of the specifications are on the door tag.

    Testing fuel pressure

    If you use a tire pressure gauge (which is fine) to check your fuel pressure, be sure to wrap it in a shop rag so you don’t get a diesel shower.

    Head Gasket Oil Leak?

    Is the valley dry? There is a drain at the rear that can drain down the passenger side rear, that could cause what you’re seeing.

    Alternator putting out low voltage/injector replacement

    The voltage difference you‘re seeing from the tester at autozone and the voltage on your truck is most likely the difference in load placed on the alternator. As load goes up voltage goes down. The load at autozone was probably less than the actual load on your truck. Your alternator will get...

    Alternator putting out low voltage/injector replacement

    This may interest you. Your alternator is probably 60 to 70 amp output. If you do the 3g upgrade if your alternator needs replacing you pick up almost 100% amperage output. Then you’ll see about 14.4 volts charging with everything running.

    Alternator putting out low voltage/injector replacement

    Turn everything on and check your voltage, if it’s still 13.2 it’s good but on the low side. Let it run long enough for the glow plugs to turn off before checking voltage.

    Alternator putting out low voltage/injector replacement

    When you check your voltage output do you have your high beam headlights, fan speed on high, radio, and wipers on?
