my F250 turbo 1999 7.3, a few hours after installing new altinator and it producing to many volts, almost 17, blew white smoke, lost almost all power then failed to turn over any more than 3-4 more cycles then wouldn't crank at all. battery s had been going dead when not ran more than 5 hours or so. was hoping new altinator fixed problem.When I saw the volts going thru the roof got home as fast as possible. decided to take it out one more time before having alt checked /possibly replaced as soon as store opened. it seemed to be fine volts were perfectly within their limits and not fluctuating and about 3 miles from home is when it smoked, lost all power, and petered out as I just made it off the rd. hasn't ran since. starter was week so I replaced it so it turns over better than ever, tach reads almost 800 rpms when batts are fresh, new glow plug relay. Im in texas in it was 111 yesterday and am told in this heat glow plugs dont even have to heat fuel. Gunna change the oil this morning. battery s still draining if left connected. also after I stop cranking each time the wind shield wipers go a lap. this is also new to me and have had the truck at least 5-6 months with no issues. When it quit it just acted as though it was tired and wanted to rest a min. Knowing my batterys didn't have but about one more try when I was stuck I sprayed a little ether in it and it made kind of whooompp and no power left to try again. please advise.
Thank you for any advice.

what's wrong with maine. I lived there for 8 years. loved it. unfortunately, my current wife can't handle to cold. live long and prosper....

 

I have read all the posts on here, I just had all 8 injectors and all 8 glow plugs replaced. Truck had misfires in few cylinders. Now since having them all replaced the truck bucks or misses at highway speeds....I had mechanic ride with me and hook up computer, there is no misfires in any cylinders and the FICM only drops to 47, but they cannot figure out the issue. I have an EGR delete done...also the truck never did miss or buck at highways speeds even when I had bad injectors! It would only miss first thing in morning and had a rough idle, since new injectors and glow plugs, truck idles smooth. HELP!!!! Truck is getting expensive!

 

I tried to start a new thread. Hope it's ok that I post here. I've got a 98 K2500 Sub with fuel problems. For simplification, I'll start from the back and go forward to describe what's been done.

- New tank (old one rusted)
- New sending unit and sock (lots of slime)
- Plenty of algae killer
- fuel return line replaced
- fuel line to filter replaced
- lift pump replaced, good voltage
- fuel filter replaced
- "last ditch" screen replaced
- OPS and fuel pump relay replaced
- fuel pressure installed at T-valve and run into cab for easy viewing
-Pressure primes to 6-7 psi
-idle fuel pressure is 3.8-4 psi
-fuel pressure at 3,000 rpm is 2.5-2.8
- PMD replaced and #9 resister used (relo already done to front air dam)
- IP replaced (new)

Problems:
- Drove great for 400 miles, then left me stranded.
- P0231 code
- tested PMD cable red B wire. Comes from Fuel Solenoid should sit at 5V and surge to 20V square wave (I am using a fluke rms meter). I'm getting the 5V but no surge.
- Idles smooth as silk, but stutters like it did when it let me stranded if I rev to 3,000 rms.
- White smoke at start up (70 F day). Goes away when warm. Comes back at rev to 3,000 rpms.

I'd like to drive it, but in Northern Virginia (DC traffic) it's not good to often be stranded in a 5,000 pound rock. I'm not even getting a good "limp home" ability when stranded.

I need the truck and don't have funds to replace it. Any thoughts? 2 shops have given up on me so far. I'll also take recommendations on a Virginia shop to fix it.

Thanks,

Larry

 

Hi Larry sorry to hear about your truck. I would suspect the injectors are leaking with the white smoke on start up.
Maybe one of the Chevy guy's will chime in too help.
With all the fuel contamination you had found could be that the trash/ biological microbe in the fuel system clogged those injectors.
Don't worry the moderator can move this thread to the appropriate spot.

 

Its a 2007 f350 single cab 2 wd that used to be a company truk for road crews nostart its had several people attempt to crank it then i got it they put a fuel pump on it it supposedly ran out of fuel but i dont think it did. I replaced a few gloplugs and the controller gko plug on time @ about 65 degrees is 45 seconds it only had 52 psi fuel pressure i cleaned the regulater now has 125psi. reset the airfilter thing repaired oil temp wiring put clean fresh fuel in it also changed oil filter and oil fuel filter also has 48 volts on ficm i also put the ficm in my ladyfriends truk and it cranked rite up also put two new batteries in it i went step by step through fords checkout except the last step then the x stepped on my laptopnow i cant find that page any ideas
