My new to me Power Stroke did not take kindly to the cool mornings we had this week. One time in the last couple weeks it would not start I had to hold the throttle down and grind away on the starter to get it to light off. It had started to leak fuel in the intake valley I could clean it up and could not see where it was coming from. My search lead me to the weep hole at the lift pump hard as I tried I could not nail it as the culprit I went as far as to dye the fuel and use a ultraviolet light it was a no go.
Monday morning it would not start so made a WAG and found the glow plug relay did not have battery power from the battery to it. The replay on the right fender and the glow plug relay are new. I found at the relay on the right inner fender the power wire to the glow plug relay was on the wrong terminal it was on the switch side not the battery side.
I jumped on replacing the lift pump and pulled the fuel filter assy off to do the job. I went after all the fuel hoses cleaned the filter assy out BTW it had a boat load of rust in it. The drain vale leaked badly when you turned it to drain so took it apart and replaced the o-rings. Ford wants about $80 for it one dollars’ worth of o-rings is all it needs to repair it.
About that time a guy pulls up with a 95 power stroke he say’s it sometimes knocks off I scanned it, it had a cam sensor code so put one on it… Back to mine…
The filers assy has a assy on the left side parts diagram shows a
Kit-Prescreen assy(Fuel filter recirc module). Also serviced in 9B249/9155.
Callout: 915
Question should the prescreen be serviced as a normal maintenance.
Back on my job other than hoses and a new fuel filter I needed a -115 o-ring to hang the fuel prescreen assy back on the fuel filter assy. So run down to the local mill supply and pick one up. Get it back together it fires up ? no leaks. Next mooring cranks but won’t start I find the glow plug relay BAD GRRR!. Jump it for a few seconds it fires up replace the relay and all is good. I talked to the guy I brought it from he said he never could get the glow plug deal fixed so just kept it plugged up its lived on the plug for the last 17 years :SHOCK: …
I got all this fixed and the Battery light came on WTF I found the brushes worn out along with the slip rings on the rotor worn out. I have never replaced the slip rings on an alt rotor so ordered a replacement alt and kept the old one. I need to find out how to replace the slip rings (if that is the correct terminology..
About the time I got mine going I get a call this guy has a 95 F350 7.3 that smoking bad from under the hood I go take a look the external fuel heater is burned out along with the wiring harness.
I man not a diesel mechanic hate the dam things it looks like once you start working on them it draws them to ya… I ordered a topside creeper it should be here Monday my back is killing me…

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
