can you run your trouble codes on that edge?

 

you sure your clutch isnt slipping??

 

No, my clutch is fine and I am not sure about the problem codes on the chip.. Ill have to check. The truck came off of a pig farm in wyoming I think and it was hauling every day. Also, the truck is not throwing a check engine light or anything. I am going to clean the injectors and see what that does.

 

While I don't believe a 7.3 powerstroke is good for 500,000 miles, it should be good for a good 250,000 miles.

What is your exhaust temp, boost pressure running at?? Knowing this could help eliminate a few things. If your boost is low and your exhaust temp is low, your not getting the fuel. If your exhaust temp is higher then it should be could be a exhaust issue. The early 99 7.3 superduties had a Cat, could be getting plugged.

Low boost and high exhast temp, your turbo might have a problum or you have a boost leak.


As far as the Ford Vrs Dodge, I was a dye hard Ford man until I drove a dodge with a Cummins

 

good points there

 

buy a cummins and never look back. inline six is the only way to go with diesel engine. my buddy had a 05 f350 6.0l and last week he trade it on a 07 ram 3500 with a 6speed manual he said that he will never own another powerstroke, he is a die hard ford fan.

 

also with the edge check the warnings and alarms to see if it is defueling as soon as it gets into a pull i stacked the juice on the smarty and wasnt making the power i thought and it was defueling up to 100% so i changed the peramedeters and now its fine also check the cat to make sure it isnt stoped up

 

Personally I would be lookin at the 2500 series trucks. Same truck with one less leaf spring on each rear end that makes the ride much nicer and I pull my stock trailer with 5 horses loaded no problem, doesn't even budge the rear end as far as suspension goes. Hell I haul 30,000 pound hay trailer with this 2500 truck.

But ya any diesel out there should be pullin that horse trailer no sweat if all is well.

 

My '06 3500 Ram is my first diesel, and right after I bought it, I drove it from Southeast Alabama to the farthest north an interstate would go: Fairbanks, Alaska. I rolled over the grain scales in Michigan at 22,620 pounds, and with the exception of a few mountains at 9.9 MPG, I averaged 15 MPG loaded for the entire trip. The only thing other than stock was an Airaid w/ MIT and a Banks High-Ram. I'm sure the 6-speed manual helped a bit, but I have a friend up here with a '99 Powerstroke and auto tranny that after the MBRP 4" turbo-back and Hypertech Max Energy, still didn't pull the HP/TQ that my Cummins did, stock. I'm sure that 7 years of technology between the two is a huge difference, but every Ford guy up here is looking for a 4BT or 6BT to through into their Fords! The Cummins has enough torque that, with the proper traction, could probably change the rotation of the Earth! Now that I also have a Hypertech Max Energy installed, I am getting about 23-23.5 MPG unloaded. If it wasn't for Ford being the ONLY American Big 3 to not take my tax-payer money, I'd have never leaned towards a Ford diesel. So, here's your fix; get an F-550 and get the Cummins installed. Ford owns Cummins, right? They just can't install them in the "Light Truck" catagory because of the pre-contract deal with Chrystler. Go big, REALLY BIG, or stay home. Or, buy a new Dodge. At this point, can't all of us a Dodge discount on them, since we, the TAX-PAYERS, OWN them? I'm just sayin', that's all...

 

Ford doesnt own Cummins.
