    Gauge problems

    Feeling kinda dumb for not checking the damned fuses That’s all it was. Thought the gauges would just go to 0 if the fuse popped, but I guess not most of them just freeze where they were.

    Gauge problems

    Just realized on my way home from work, V gauge dead, fuel, oil and temp are actually frozen at whatever they were at when the problem started, so I’m guessing fuse as soon as I can test.

    Gauge problems

    Been awhile since I’ve been here, . My current problem is my tach, volt and fuel gauges quit. Fuel is stuck just under 3/4 no matter which tank I select and volt and tach don’t move at all. Could this be a ground problem or a fuse?

    Where to get (if still possible?) these parts new?

    I’m pretty sure I’ve seen some reasonably priced ones on eBay or Amazon, can’t remember which. Just replaced my Radiator, water pump and thermostat and was contemplating replacing the tank also but didn’t. $ is getting tight.

    2003 7.3 Surges and dies.

    Ok, know it’s been awhile. Replaced the valve cover gaskets and wire harnesses, seems to have improved this problem but not completely. Still will occasionally die or stutter. Thinking of a dealership CPS and maybe the throttle position sensor?

    2003 7.3 Surges and dies.

    I think I may have found the problem but waiting on the parts, was probing around the other night and when I touched the drivers side injector harness going into the valve cover, the insulation on the red wire just kind of crumbled off. So I’m waiting for a whole wiring kit for the...

    2003 7.3 Surges and dies.

    This thing is stumping me. Just replaced the CPS after last weekend replacing the IPR and IPS. It was running rough and could die after it warmed up. Now it will still occasionally die, but seems to be after well warmed up. It only seems to occur after sitting, say at a red light, when I go to...

    Extended Idle Time.....

    High idle is definitely better than low idle for longer periods. At low idle you do get more blowby because the combustion temps are usually a little low and won’t seal the rings as good. High idle will create more heat in combustion and seal them rings. At work, my truck doesn’t shutdown till...

    ZF-5 Problems

    Thanks @79jasper good thinking it does have 280,000 on the truck, so who knows, I’m guessing the tranny was never rebuilt. I was just looking for advice and maybe someone had this problem before. Thanks again.

    Glow plug relay question

    Don’t use ether if you don’t have to. Use wd-40 it won’t wash the oil from your cylinder walls.

    ZF-5 problem

    Hello all, been awhile since I’ve been able to remember my sign in info, but my question is, I’m going to pull my ZF-5 soon because it’s stuck in reverse. What parts do you think I should pre order before I go digging into it. Hopefully it’ll be a quick repair, but I’m wondering what I should...

    Base of dipstick tube fell into oil pan - help?

    Don’t know if I got lucky too but still no leaks and I’ve redlined the engine a few times since.

    Base of dipstick tube fell into oil pan - help?

    Well, so far so good. Did the RTV just like I planned above. Soaked the side of the pan with engine degreaser, removed the nut, sprayed a whole can of break parts cleaner on the area with the nut out of the way and on the nut. Let it air dry completely and put a small bead of RTV all the way...

    Base of dipstick tube fell into oil pan - help?

    I’m looking to try and reseal mine tolday on an ‘03 PSD. Hoping I can clean it all and put RTV as the sealant. Do y’all think that’ll seal it or should I get the o-ring. I’m hoping that leaving the dip stick tube on will hold everything in place and the RTV will seal it so I don’t have to worry...

    Transmission ZF-5 Done

    I got it home. Had it towed by a flatbed loaded and unloaded with me pushing in the clutch.

    Transmission ZF-5 Done

    I just got finished doing this, and I couldn't get the shift linkage to move. When I pulled the shifter, it seemed like the ball was in the socket. Both plastic blocks where there, but it is sloppy. So I tried to pry the shift linkage to no avail. So I though maybe the ball had just popped out...

    Transmission ZF-5 Done

    It moves a bit. But not the full range, and it feels like it's stuck in the shifter.

    Transmission ZF-5 Done

    I'm guessing I'm screwed, but wondering any of y'all had this happen. Was leaving Americas Tire when I noticed they left something in my truck. So I went to turn around and it was too tight to complete my U-turn. So I threw it into reverse to back up a bit, and when I pushed forward to shift to...

    AC issues

    I'll check those today and keep y'all posted. Thanks. Oh, and when you blow/wash out the condenser, should I blow from inside out? Or does it matter?

    AC issues

    Also forgot to mention, while my son was at baseball practice I went out to the truck and fired it up The AC compressor clutch was acting very erratic. Did look like it was holding good but it was turning on and off very quickly. Then after about a minute it clicked on and stayed on like it...
