Default Ford Crew cabs w/7.3 Diesel

From what I've read, it certainly can be the CMP. On mine, it just died on the way home from work. No kind of warning. It did take a couple of extra cranking seconds to get it going again. After the second one, I couldn't get over 25mph. So I limped home (hoping I catch every light which I did). While in the driveway I tried to keep the rpms around 2,000 or so but once there, the power would start falling fast. This is when I thought it was a fuel related issue. That was until I pulled the code off the truck and it showed a CMP code. After reading about it on dieselstop.com I was relieved it was something that was not major and after talking to the local dealership it was only $29 plus change. It took me longer to get the 10mm bolt loosened than it did to put the new one in. Anyways, here's a article on it

CMP info

I might add that I am going to heed the advice of the author in the thread I posted and put a second one in my PSD. Also going to carry a 10mm offset boxed end wrench. That way, I have it ready if it decides to go out when I am off the beaten path.

Dang. You're having all kinds of issues lately. First the tranny. You're gonna end up with a nearly new truck.

It's ok. I kinda like the old forum. Don't care much for things when all the forums look the same. Some things still need to be worked on. Lots of issues on Friday when I was hanging out in The Spin Zone.

I know, the wife thinks I am doing some of this on purpose[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Of course, I would never do anything like that[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I really can't complain about my PSD[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] It's a daily driver and has yet to leave me stranded[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Of course, it's gone out in my driveway[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]
