No I didn't. I try not to let it get too low. The computer isn't throwing any codes out on it. But my accelerator pedal is sticking like. It's like once you push on it & let up it accelerates itself. So that part is ordered & will be here in the morning. Thinking maybe it could have something to do with it. Maybe it isn't getting enough/too much fuel at times....?

Apps I believe is that. Or the tps. Glad your getting somewhere. Didn't mean to sound like a smart *** earlier when asking if fuel was low. BTW

Yeah if its what I think our talking about its the accelerator position something. And don't get rid of the dodge for a ford. I'm a die hard ford guy and well I owned a 99 powerstroke. Now I own a 04 Dodge. What's that tell ya?

Yeah I can't remember the name of it either, but I know it's got positioning in it somewhere Lol. I don't plan on getting rid of it for a ford. I really liked the looks of the F250, but all the models I really liked has the 6.0 in it. And we are really Leary of them. Cummins seems like a really good motor & I've always heard good things about em. And after getting one, I really like it a lot!! And with the age of my truck & stuff you can expect that some things will eventually go wrong with it. Not the end of he world, just sucks not having my truck! Lol Hopefullly though ill have it back tmrw!

Yes. For and Chevy have two mor cylinders which means two more injectors to replace etc. Keep the fuel filters changed every 5-7 thousand miles with good filters not junk cheapos or you'll have bigger issues.

I'm usually the one making the trips to the parts store, so when they ask what brand, I usually just say which ever is the best. They're not much more than the cheap ones & may save some trouble down the road with better quality. First thing we done when we bought it was change the oil & filter, air filter & fuel filter. Then ran some sea foam through it. Come to find out oil & oil filter had just been done a month prior. Lol But oh well, can't hurt it.

No it can't. I rarely drive my truck so it only gets 1-2 oil changes a year. I run 2-cycle oil in every tank.wintertime I run diesel 911 or diesel Kleen.

I drive mine a lot. It's my everyday truck. Plus we haul with it too. I pull big loads of straw with it at least 1-2 times a month. Sometimes more. Had to haul it in the husbands 99 Cummins today & boy you could really tell a diff. Use a lot less fuel in mine. Plus it's a lot easier to pull with.
