Here's the rundown. Replaced one battery (did not have the funds for 2) the amps flickered between 14 & 13 when I was driving. But whent to 14 when idling and the battery light whent off. My thaught is a bad battery. I'm getting anouther battery and seeing how it goes. How can I tell if it's a...

Yes Thay are but I don't have the money right now to replace them if they are not the problem I will replace them when I get home.

I had the altinator checked advanced auto said it's good. Droped off the batteries for charging and checking. Any thoughts what it could be does the PCM control the charging circuit or just monitor it?

I would rather get the 140 BUT I'm stranded and all thay have is a 110amp in stock.So it's going to get a 110amp and hope I can exchange it for a 140 when I get home.

Alternator just went out 3 hours from home on a Friday night. I found one at a autozone but it's a 110amp and They have a a 140amp but not in stock. How do I tell which one I have.Chris

Coupe of months ago when towing the abs light came on would stay on until truck was shut down and restarted and would not come back on for anouther 300 or so miles.6 month later was driving home from the beach and the battery light was flashing then stoped and the SCT Livewire flickered...

Question: I'm wondering if I should flush or partly flush the coolant system before changing the oil cooler then do a full flush after or wait till after and do the full flush?Chris

Blue Goose, the truck has 77,000 miles on it the egr cooler was replaced at 30,000 under warranty. Beachbumcook, I was looking at installing a coolant filter before this happened so that is in the future ( if i keep the truck) my wife just lost her job so that was why I'm looking at the delete...

yes' like an expensive milk shake.

I tried to do a search on this but it got me more confused. My wife took my truck out today to fill it up before a trip and it was not blowing heat. I checked the coolant and the degas bottle was empty with a muddy muck in the bottom. loosened the top hose and it looked like mud I have not seen...

test your batteries replace the bad one ( you should replace them in pairs but that's $$$$) clean your connections as well.Chris

here is the VIN- ***************** if one of you can run it throw OASIS!It's at a used car lot they sead "it was not chipped" and I asked if there were any power adders on it he stated no then showed me one that did have some.thanks for the help Chris

sorry for the hijack!how do you tell if the EGR cooler is geting cloged up? I have a 91 7.3 no turbo its a slug compared to the 06 6.0. I'm looking to buy a 06 250 w/6.0 any tips before buying would be great!Chris

now its very hard to start how much fuel pressure should i have to the filter? I'm going to replace the return lines as well are they special line or can I use regular fuel line

have not used them yet.Diesel care and performance I go on ebay find the part then do a search for there web sight.Chris

bled the lines no go replased the filter re bled the lines by the 5th injector it started to run but I cooked the starter.

91 f-250 diesel mine was doing it to.

thanks for the advice I'm going to work on it tomorrow. I'm hoping that the injector pump dos not have power to the fuel cut off. But I think the injector pump is shot.

I got a Hanes manual but it did not cover how to bleed the fuel system. should I just crack the line at the injector and crank it when I do not any more bubbles I close the fitting.thanks chris

thanks d-kuzmen I'll check that next

Up date and question? Cracked the fuel line coming from the manual fuel pump to the filter and cranked it, got fuel. Cracked the line from filter to injector pump on both ends and cranked it, got fuel. cracked line from injector pump to injector and got nothing! so I guess its the injector pump...

little history on the truck just changed the batteries 2 weeks ago ran fine last Sunday it sat for a week and went to start it today. It started ran wrought then quit. it will only start if I let it set for a couple of minutes then as I crank it I pump the hell out of it then it starts runs...
