Sometimes situations like this are hard to digest, but lick your wounds and move forward. Check out what these guys are talking about; they have the "been there already" while most mechanics only have the book smart knowledge.

I have a 1996 F-250 extended cab w/ 8' box. She's rust'n out pretty bad, but the frame and the drive train is in good shape. I've had the truck 9 years as my construction truck and hate the thought of selling or parting out so I decided to fix her up. 7.3 diesel w/ 210,000 miles and rebuilt...

I had this very problem on my 1996 F-250. I changed the whole column; I found this to be easier. Too much info to explain if you want more input, call me @ 570-396-6889. This is my cell #.

I thought maybe same thing, but the existing ones are not that old; three years maybe. Took it to mechanic today ---- plugged it in and coming up computer or bad wire harness. I may still try harness gaskets and injector wiring harness first because of expense and computer is not readily...

1996 F-250. Be idling fine then check engine light pops on and is just like loosing 4 cylinders instantly. It stays running, rough though, and then after a few minutes will clear out and run fine. It does this on and off at different times. Today after letting set for 7 hours, fired up like...

If you do have more problems it is just as easy to replace the whole column; I had the same situation a year ago

dont know if you fixed it yet but I had to replace my valve cover gasgets, which have the pass through connectors in them. Before replacement sounded like i was running on 6 instead of 8. Could also be injector harness inside cover, be carefull if you go in messing around because the connector...

yes, there is oil all over from the back of engine, down the bell housing, and has half of the under carriage under-coated ---- good rust prevention

just thought I'd let anybody know that runs into this same problem, I replaced the whole column; it was just as easy. A couple of issues : I have overdrive button on shifter; just change shifter. I have cruise buttons on steering wheel panel; Just change panel and may have to change the...

I used to have mine on a timer and set it for a 4 to 5 hr run each morning, depending on temp. I have also had it plugged in for over 14 hours and no troubles

Key turns easy, radio and blower fan wont turn off. tore some of it apart. do I need to pull steering wheel to replace that silly rod and how do I do this. Also what about air bag. this is a 1996 F250

I have to eat my words, I replaced th FUEL pump not the oil pump

replaced oil pump a bit ago out of need, have to check on those other things, thanks

Have a 96' F250. Oil seems to run down the rear of the engine from the top. Is this turbo seals, oil line or something else

The valve cover gaskets are no more than 6 months old, I don't think it would be them but I'll check
