    Hello guys first time posting on here looking for some help. So I have a 96 7.3 with ~290k miles on it. It was having a longer time starting than normal when it started to get cold here in South Carolina with a cold engine so I figured it was a battery issue. Replaced the batteries at the store...

    Hello I have a 94 7.3 powerstroke and been fighting a fuel issue for the past couple days. It's always run and started great. The other day I started it and as it was idling in the yard it died, like it ran out of fuel and wouldn't start. Had plenty of fuel in the tank. I noticed the return...

    So I have a 96 non intercooler 7.3. Does the size of the intercooler make a big difference? Some are more narrow than others and not as wide or they are only 2" deep. Does any of this make a difference ? Should I just buy the cheapest one and go or buy a speedy one. I don't really want to go out...

    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 1995 7.3 psd with a 5 speed and I have a problem where sometimes it will stall out and not start unless I hold it above idle other than that it will die.

    Hey family, Recently purchased a 97crew cab f250 and wondering if I can swap the back seat for some simple fold up seats to fit the dog in easier. I see plenty of posts for SD seat swaps but is there something simpler? Just two small bucket seats that flip up? Anyone done that before?

    The clutch is slipping in my 95 F350 7.3 PSD with the ZF5. I use it as a daily drive, but also for towing 10k--16k for long distances. It only has about 130k miles, but I suspect that it may be failing because the previous owner used it to tow a 12k boat, so probably lots of slipping the clutch...

    So I have a question, I have a 1995 f250 7.3. I’ve had this problem since I’ve had the truck and it’ll do it every once and a while.

    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...

    So I’m having a terrible fuel leak coming from rear of engine, cannot see where all I can see is when the truck is running fuel starts to drip out and when I put it in high idle it’s basically free flowing. Seems like a major leak but I’m stumped. There was fuel in the valley but I figured that...

    I am planning on buying a diesel truck in the future and if I do go with a 7.3 I would be torn between the OBS Powerstroke or the SD. I was contemplating a bulletproof 6.0 but it seems like they r more pricy to maintain than a 7.3. I wanna know which is more reliable, easier to work on, and...
