Got a pretty good hunch that the IDM is smoked or that UVCH has rubbed through. Ordering Swamps Diesel's turned up IDM, for $275 after a core refund it's a good start. Talked to a guy at work, says his truck ran just like mine and it was the IDM. Did a little more research on the net and after...
The biggest problem I have going against me is that the truck actually does run! haha. This problem is so hit and miss that it's going to be a nightmare to diagnose. I wish it would actually just die so I could start checking things off the list. Haven't done much with it lately, been way too...
Got a buddy that is a mechanic and has a scanner, so we'll get going on that. I'm just looking for ideas on where to start looking. Fuel filter was replaced a couple days after the first time the truck hiccupped on me, thought that might have been the problem but clearly it wasn't. My dad talked...
Okay everyone, I have a long winded story about some issues I've been having off and on with my truck for the last 2 months. It doesn't get driven much and the problems have occurred in the last 300+/- miles so it's taken a while for the issue to progress. I'll start from the beginning, which...

Hey now, don't bash my commuter rig. Put 40K miles on it in the last year, there isn't a cheaper vehicle to drive when you punch out that many miles. Truth to be told, I love Japanese cars but prefer an American truck any day.Thanks for the info about the '05 lights/bumper/grille, kinda what I...
Another brother out there? Right on.Thanks for the welcome. I did a little searching yesterday since I'm couch surfing these days and found some pics of an '01 fully converted to an '05 front end. That's pretty trick, not sure I want to go that far but I might. My biggest problem is that I...
Hey everyone. New member here with a question about my options for fog lights. I have a '99 7.3 that I would like to install factory fog lights from an '02+ Super Duty. Can I assume that if I was to go that route the dimensions in the air dam/bumper will allow a clean installation? Or maybe...
