1996

Hi all: I'm new to the diesel & diesel performance world. I recently got a great deal on an old '63 International 1/2T swb pickup and plan to make a killer rat rod diesel project out of it. I went shopping on Craigslist & found a complete running 7.3l motor with 5 speed transmission. Seller...

Yall Just changed the oil and oil filter in my 1996 powerstroke 7.3 250, and just tried to turn it on this mornin to go to a jobsite. It cranked, turned on, and shut off after like 10 seconds twice. Now it just cranks but no turnin over. Water in fuel and fuel filter lights now come on. What in...

Hello, I am new to the forum and also to the Ford community. I recently purchased a 1996 F250 ECLB power stroke. I have a few questions about wires under the hood. Pictured are three wire ends that are not connected to anything and I do not know where they go or what they are. The truck has an...

Hello everyone!! I'm thinking this could be helpful to people thinking about becoming the proud owner of an OBS powerstroke, who aren't total pro's when it comes to the ins and outs of these engines/trucks. Hopefully this can become a safe place to ask some questions specific to these trucks...

Hey all. After several years, I am a proud owner of a 96 F250 7.3 4X4 auto. So far has been.. a learning experience. So far the vacuum pump went out on me while I was driving it home, so I have had that fixed. Also ran it out of fuel on accident. The shower thing in the rear tank is busted so...

When you pull both negative battery cables off the whole truck ground system becomes positive. The current is coming from the #20 fuse in the engine compartment. Pull the fuse power goes away. I read on what the fuse is for and it just leads me to more fuses. #4 #8 #12. Any one have any ideas...

1996 F250 7.3 Powerstroke Starts fine if warm or was plugged in. I ordered a autoenguity scanner that will be here tomorrow so that I can check codes etc. I realize that the tool can perform a lot of testing. What tests should I run to zero in on the problem. What i have done so far before...

Ok so I have a perfectly good one time installed 6 position bully dog chip for a 94-97 7.3 manual. The positions are 30hp 50hp 80hp(80 smokes good on stock injectors if you're into that) CARB(smog prevention or works as fuel Econ haul) and 1100 rpm high idle. It's a good "stage 1" chip for...

Purchased a 96 f250 for my son. Been keeping it a secret for a birthday surprise. So far I've put an S&B intake and 3" dp with a cat and muffler delete 4" exhaust with a nice 5" tip. Runs great, but need to liven it up a little bit. A programmer or chip would be great. Not really picky...

I recently moved up north into an apartment, and, of course, its going to get cold. Just wondering if anyone had any ideas on ways to keep the truck warm on cold nights. The place has no garage and no exterior plugs that i can use. All ideas welcome, thanks. If it matters, its a 96' f350.

Hi, all - Frequent lurker, first time poster.* I'm not a mechanic by trade, but I do a fair bit of car/truck repair and have worked on diesels in the past.* That said, I've never had to troubleshoot something like this and I haven't found any posts that seem to relate this sort of issue. * First...

I bought my first diesel in November. A 1996 F350 Powerstroke with 180,000 miles. I have been noticing an Oil leak from the drivers side and Im not sure where it is coming from. My first thoughts were head gasket or valve cover but Im not really sure. It seems to be just below the drivers side...

Like the title says I'm looking for a OBS but heres the catch, in or near the Oklahoma area. Has to be 4x4 no DRW please, cleanliness is a HUGE plus, cab size doesnt matter nor bed size, automatic is preferred but if it comes down to it I can drive a 5spd. 200k or below, maintenance records are...

Hey all, I just bought a 96 F250, it has a (i think) 4" lift kit on it now and I'd like to remove it and get it back to stock height. I know everyone will say just keep the lift, but I'm just not that into lifted trucks and it's hard to get the baby in and out too, haha. So, my question...
