Hello I have a 1997 powerstroke automatic trans and I am having issues with the ignition. At times when going to crank I will get no response. Will only turn over if I jump from the solenoid or if I play with the shifter and or key. I have checked my neutral safety and it appears to be lined up...

Hello. I have a 1997 7.3 psd with 187k on it, I’ve had it for about a year now. I’ve had this thing happening where the engine idles sort of rough usually when warm, but not always. It usually has like a small lope sound or it can fluctuate between about 1-200 rpm at idle. The truck runs great...

Hello everyone, I have a 1997 7.3 that I want to delete my cat on. I have already got rid of the muffler and installed a 4 inch turbo back exhaust with a 3 inch diamond eye down pipe. I want to delete my cat for better sound and maybe a little improvement with my fuel mileage. I have heard that...

If I leave the truck for a day or more and go out to start her up. She'll crank and fire then immediately shut off. It'll then take another crank or two before she fires and stays started. But if I drive around and **** it off and then start it back up itll fire and stay on. What gives?

I've been doing my research for the last year, my goal is to put out the most power my 7.3 can handle. I've heard 1 claim of 612hp out of 205/100s paired with a s366, and 2 claims of low 600s with 238/100s paired with the s366. I've been leaning for the 238/100s and s369, I want as much if not...

I originally posted this on another forum seeking advise. 54 views so far and not a single comment. Although I purchased my first 7.3 new back in 1995 and now this is my 6th 7.3 Powerstroke, I am still learning about these awesome engines. I'm not a diesel mechanic by trade, but as one who was...

Am looking for some advice on how to fix my overdrive, the “off” light has been flashing since I got the truck. I know the previous owner swapped a f-150 steering column in my f-350 but I don’t know if that would be the problem. Please let me know if you had a similar issue and how you fixed it...

Hello, I recently bought an obs 7.3 that I thought was a 1996 until I went to change out the hpop reservoir gasket and found out the gasket doesn’t fit and it has an anti drain back. The valve cover has a sticker that says 1996 year but those could’ve been replaced, engine serial number by the...

I have a 1997 obs250. Previous owner has done some work to it like full exhaust, 6 position BullyDog chip, full cold air intake and a few other things. The truck was having issues starting and when it would take more than once to crank I found the chip wouldn’t work. Today I pulled the chip and...

Good afternoon, I’m looking into trying to completely rebuild an older truck vs buying a brand new one. I am currently thinking of a 1997 f350 4 door short bed with an updated 7.3 Powerstroke. Instead of the stock body, I wanted to put the body from a 1986 style body. I want to keep the interior...

Starting over with a new(old) 2002 f350. Hoping to tap into the wealth of knowledge here.

Hey guys! Recently I’ve become aware of a lot of the differences between my e99 powerstroke and other L99+ trucks... Mainly what I’m focused on is the turbo, plenum, boost tubes, injectors etc. I never really noticed a lack of power with my e99 compared to my previous truck (02 sclb 7.3) but...
