I have had this code come up recently. I replaced the OSS and still get the code to come up. It doesnt do it all the time its kind of random. I have had my F-350 die on me twice now while trying to take off. I recently had the torque converter and fly wheel replaced. Does anyone have any idea what i should be looking for? :confused:

Im new here so bare with me. I recently inherited a 1995 dodge ram 2500 5.9L with 76,000 original miles on it. I want to improve the intake and exhaust systems. Any suggestions? Oh and there is a lot of condensation dripping from the front right side under the cab. I'm assuming its from the a/c but I can be in a store or at work and come out 2 hrs later and there is a giant puddle. Should I worry?

The most logical would be a 6.2L, since it should bolt right in and its mechanical. You could do it with an early 6.5L, but it too would need to be a mechanical (i.e., no computer stuff). I've also seen the 3 cylinder Deutz in late 70's Chevy half ton trucks, and you might be able to swing a Cummins 4BT as well. You've got some options, but you probably won't get over 225hp from most of these unless you modded a mechanical 6.5L, and that would put you closer to 300hp. Kris

The pump is warped. this has been talked about on this forum before. pump shrinks when cold expands when hot and warps letting air in. change pump and or look for high performance unit.

Ok, I need some help. I have had my truck at the Dodge dealer for 10 days now. It is a 2007 3500 mega cab 108000 miles. The dealer has replace all the electronic parts ECM,FCM,VALVE BODY.They tell me the fault is still there and they don't know what to do next. The fault is the pressure solenoids.That has been changed four times. I would really be thankful if anybody has an idea what to check.

Hope someone might have an idea what is going on. I got into the airport Mon night and my truck was dead and would not start. I had my wife pick me up and I went back the next day and jump started it. I drove it immediately to get the batteries tested and they showed bad so I replaced both. On the way to work this morning the check guages light came on and I shut the truck down. When I opened the hood the battery on the pass side had popped both of its caps. I had it towed home but what might be going on?

Do you guys generally like the 6.9 or 7.3? I also heard of putting one head on the other (I think 6.9 heads on a 7.3). I know the head bolts are an issue and heard the 7.3 has a more stout bottom. I'm just interested in hearing your opinions, experiences and facts so I can be more informed! Thanks and looking forward to seeing what you guys have to say!

Does it shut completely off or does it just lose power? From what youve wrote it sounds like your lift pump could be failing and starving the injection pump, but it could be else where. If the map sensor is failing that may cause this as well, Im not familiar with how the EDGE EZ hooks to the truck but i know that some require you to connect into the injection pump wiring if this is the case with yours then it is possible that the connection may be bad (corroded or loose) and that will also cause your condition. Give us some more info and we can help you better.

I've had my f250 (pre-1999, 7.3L) for about 5 months now . . . And I'm getting only about 13.7-14.0 mpg. Granted I drive around the city for the most part . . . but it doesn't seem to matter whether I'm heavy on the pedal, light on the pedal . . . I could pretty much go to vegas and gamble on how likely the mileage will be between 13.7 and 14.0. So, is this normal? I put on a 4 inch straight pipe(which should be better mileage) . . . I've got 305-75 load range E tires, inflated around 54psi or so. I put in an aftermarket filter, it is not K&N, but it is an equivalent setup that is nicer I think. S&N might be the manufacturer?? I have the superchips tuner, but right now the truck is NOT TUNED . . . Does anyone think I should tune the truck and see what difference it makes? Oh yeah, I've had a HPOP leak for the last 3 months. Finally decided to try and fix it myself. I did that yesterday . . . still leaking today, but not as much . . . I'm thinking some oil is still left on top of the engine that is still dripping down looking like a rear seal. Could the HPOP have any affect on the mileage? Thoughts, ideas and opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
