My question is, when I am driving down the highway I get up to 60 mph, the trans shifts into overdrive, there is a humms if I maintain that speed. If I speed up or slow down it goes away. The trans feels good going though all the gears. The truck only has 230 mile on it. Could this just be a vibration in the muffler of something or do yall think I should be concerned. It almost feels like overdrive(or 5th gear) is to high of a gear for 60mph.
He said they haven't had any of the powerstrokes come in with this problem because there is a dampener to absorb the noise/vibration. They don't put it on the gas engines. That means if the driveshaft is out of balance it will vibrate.
Thanks,

I have this 2002 F250 7.3L Power Stroke and can't seem to get anyone to tackle changing out the glow plugs for me.
Anyone know how to get to them, if so, I'll have to try and do it myself.
Can't even find a decent manual.
I have a "hard start" when cold, going dead until engine is good and warm. Everyone seems to think one or more of the glow plugs are bad and sending a false message to the controls and turning off the glow plugs too early.
How do I attack this thing myself.
Thanks
started having the same problem on a 2002 f250 just this week. Any luck with finding a solution??? replaced the fuel filter no change???
If you did please let me know thanks

I own a 2001 4dr 7.3L, (as well as a '92 Metro convertible), so I'm not having injector problems. Squirrels camping out in the engine compartment & using the wiring harness for jaw exercise, on the other hand....!

I believe the new F-150 super cabs have a shoulder belt for all three rear seating positions.
As an alternative, does anyone know of an after market shoulder belt for th middle position?

I get a "rattle" noise coming from the transfer case area that starts around 45mph and varies w/ speed, but if you hold the shifter the noise continues.
I drove w/ mech. in Sept. who said he thought it was a wind noise, but would put it on a lift. 20 min. later he asked if I could leave it, they replaced clutch packs.
At first the noise was very intermittent, but became more consistent by Dec. I left the truck for 2 wks. and never heard from the dealer, when I called they said they couldn't hear a noise. When I picked it up, the second I got over 45 the noise was there. I turned around and took the same mech. w/ me who was still trying to tell me it was wind noise.
I hope I can either convince Ford to replace the driveshaft as was done in your case, give me a new trans. or get a new truck under the lemon law. After all the truck has 4600 miles on it.

I went to auto blog to find this article and for some reason I cant find it :lemon: ? Is is because it was posted in DEC? Any help you could give me on finding would be great. I'm having this exact same problem with my 04 superduty.
Thanks, Mark

on the 2nd line. You'll have to copy the link & paste it in the address box - remember, the 2nd line shown in my original post is really one long string of characters. So 1) Paste the first line in the address box.
2) Paste the second link in the address box after the 1st line.
3) Make the correction above.
4) Then click on the "Go" button.
Hope this helps!

45K miles, is the total mileage or the mileage on the shocks?
At any rate I would run the truck into a reputable front-end shop and have them check it over and align/repair what is needed. Think you will find a big difference in ride/driving.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Ford said to remove the locks and replace new door handles (minus the lock hole) it would cost $500 ( a bit high I think)
THANKS
Here's the manufacturer's website
