    03 7.3 zero to 60 questions

    Yes they are rather slow in their stock form BUT lucky for you no one has messed with this van performance wise so you probably have a solid 7.3 with plenty of life left in it to do some upgrades to. I can't comment on all of that stuff but one thing in particular is that shop telling you they...

    VA: 8ft Fiberglass Alaskan truck camper sold

    The original lifting device(s) are included but have been modified, quite ingeniously, with four reico jacks. Originally they had what looked like farm jacks but locked up years ago and were not serviceable.

    92 E250 5.8 driving me insane, talk me out of selling it!

    Finally had some time today to call around and get another PCM to try and got lucky at a salvage yard about 20 minutes away, they had one from a 93 that matched mine and was a factory reman. I plugged it in as soon as I got home and let it idle and then took it out for about 30 miles. None of...

    Thank you, I'm going to remove the IAC and clean but this throttle body is one of those teflon anti sludge ones and the repair manual says do not clean with solvents. It is pretty clean though just from a visual inspection. I suppose the IAC could be sticking despite being about a year old...

    I may go to the junkyard on Monday and pull a PCM and also check and see if the 7.3 E350 is still there! Ha! It's got the full floater still in it too!

    Fiddled again this evening, did KOER test and only pulled one code, 411 engine idle too high. duh. Tested TPS and got a nice sweep from .94v up to about 4.5v and 5v reference. Tested IAC valve and got 13 ohms which was in spec. Let it idle for a while and it revved up and down a few times by...

    Something that just popped in to my head is the temperature at which these issues occur. I first started noticing the bucking and stuttering last winter, I did the aforementioned work and it seemed to clear up. We took a trip down to Atlanta last March, about 1200 miles and it again performed...

    Thank you, when I see codes getting thrown randomly like this along with these symptoms that was kinda my gut feeling all along. Perhaps the board was just too damaged by the capacitors leaking, it was definitely a worse than a few others I've seen posted.

    92 E250 5.8 driving me insane, talk me out of selling it!

    I love it, its a class B and I think it was used as a snowbird RV from somewhere in NJ down to south Florida for years then got parked, presumable under cover by the lack of rust anywhere. I want to keep it indefinitely BUT I just can't wrap my head around this issue its had! Coincidentally my...

    ALSO: I have not done a KOER test, I will do that tonight and post what it displays. Fuel pressure is fine at idle as well as under load. Forgot to mention that, forget what the spec was but it was dead on last time I checked.
