hello all:

My 02 ford van 7.3l powerstroke has a bad vibration when it gets into to gear (automatic trans). I mean it feels like it is going to shake the sides off! Also it has poor acceleration as well. I ran two containers of diesel fuel treatment injector cleaner through it (lightning something) and it did not seem to help much. Sometimes it runs pretty good but still shakes when up into top gear especially when i get on the throttle. Seems like clogged fuel filter or injectors.

Also I want to install the new front brake rotors I have for it to replace the warped ones on it now.

Anyone of you know where I can find an online manual (pref. ford factory) to view so I can learn how to help this poor beast?

tips Ideas and suggestions welcome too!!

Torque converter could be bad.
