    For some context this all started when I was driving the truck and it felt like it was missing on a cylinder. It then resolved itself temporarily. I took the truck for a spin around the block the next day. It was missing again and under throttle white smoke came out the exhaust. This ended with...

  6. 94-98 7.3L Problem Forum
    Just got a 96 F-250 7.3L. Got a problem with it and I’m not sure what it is. There is hardly any soot coming out of the exhaust except for only hard pulls on the interstate. While I’m on the interstate sustaining 70-75mph I can feel the engine bay getting very hot and can feel it at my feet and...
  7. 94-98 7.3L Problem Forum
    I have a 7.3 obs and it doesn’t get too cold where I live (30-40 degrees) and when I cold start (only waiting for the wait to start light to turn out not fully waiting for the glow plugs) a lot of white smoke comes out of the back of my engine bay/ hood. I can’t put my finger on what it smells...

    I have a 96 F250 7.3 and i was looking into the block heater. When i bought it i was told it didn’t work. I plugged it in for about ten minutes and realized no lights or anything were working. I checked the battery voltage and it dropped all the way to 1.5V. Last night i took the clamps off...

    I have a 96 F250 Super cab long bed with no mods and the mechanical fuel pump. A month ago the truck died and I ran a hose from the suction side of the pump to a can of diesel and got it started but it was pissing out of the weep hole in the fuel pump. So I replaced the pump with a Carter pump...

    So I’ve had a problem I can’t figure out. My 96 7.3 is slow cranking like batteries are dead. I’ve had them tested separately and both are good. Installed new starter, solenoid, glow plus, and glow plug relay. Replaced terminals with new ones and it’s still slow cranking with no start. The volts...

    this is my first post and I figured I’d post this bc I have no clue what’s wrong. I recently blew the turbo on my ‘96 7.3. It’s a stock Garrett. I bought a rebuild kit from KC Turbos and I installed it. When I turned the truck on, it was idling rough, but not too rough with white smoke coming...

    I'm looking at a 1996 and a 2000 7.3, and I'm specifically concerned about buying something that is too difficult for me to work on myself. I have a '96 F250 gasser that is a PITA to work on. Was that a '96 thing? The body style on the 7.3 is different from my gasser, so maybe it's not bad to...

    Hey, so my truck has been shutting off randomly for a few weeks and seems to get worse when it rains. The wait to start light comes on and it restarts on its own, or it will stumble for a second or 2 and then shut off and I can restart it and it’ll run fine. Which seems weird. I’ve also noticed...
