  1. 7.3 woes

    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...
  2. 7.3 woes

    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...
  3. 7.3 woes

    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...
  4. 7.3 woes

    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...
  5. Fog light options

    With 200K on the clock, she gets 16 at 60 MPH. Not too bad, it's a 1 ton truck but I'm all for getting better mileage. I really don't drive it much, short trips around town here and there, I'm probably doing 250 miles a month at most. Drove it alot less when I was working, now I just want to...
  6. Fog light options

    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...
  7. Fog light options

    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...
  8. Fog light options

    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...
