ok well im still new on diesel engine and especially on the idi, i have confirmed i have a 7.3, now my problem is when i start the truck in the morning i always let it warm up 10 to 15 minutes, i am not sure if my cold idle is working because there is no change in idle even when i tap the gas pedal, after the truck has sat for 10 to 15 minutes and i start driving down the road the engine gets loud, kinda similar sound to the powerstroke 7.3, and it will slightly pull as if i am accelerating hard when im not but only for about a second or two, when i bought the truck i was told the engine had 50,000 miles less that the odometer which would now put it at around 200,000 miles on the engine, i read injection pumps only usually last about 100,000 miles, so could this be a injection pump going bad? how can i tell if its original or not? i am worried about a diesel runway situation want to get this fixed before something happens, i have a pregnant girlfriend and i would like to know if i shouldnt let her ride in the truck until its fixed, i appreciate the help
