I bought an extra cam sensor for my 1999 F-250 PS on a reccomendation several years back. I carry it with me when down south. I just turned 192,000
mostly trouble free miles and I am going to have it changed on GP's when I get the brakes done next week.
Thanks for the reminder.

Here is a good one.
I have a 99' superduty with a v-10 motor with 100,000 miles on it, all Baja miles.
Coming home from San Felipe on the 19th of this month after crossing the border and heading up the grade toward San Diego in the rain the truck began
to run rough, and the trans was shifting rough too. Felt like the tranny going. Pulled over, and the motor was running rough and wanted to stall, kept
going, but relieved it was a motor problem.
Took it to my mechanic the next day and he knew what it was. The air filter had been crushed during installation, (by an oil change place) allowing
dust to pass around the filter. There is a sensor in the intake tube that became contaminated with dirt and it affected the way the vehicle ran. He
replaced the filter and cleaned the sensor, problem solved, $70.
Odd thing is, the check engine light never did come on. Sometimes those sensors are more trouble than their worth. He also said the sensor could not
be bypassed. But it could be cleaned with carburator spray in a pinch.
Other than that, it has been a very strong reliable truck, never a problem.
A simple thing to check when your truck has these symptoms.
Moral of the story: Change your own air filter or watch the bonehead installing it to make sure he is not forcing the housing closed.
Haven't had a bad trip yet....

Oh God, don't remind me ..........
A few months back, my Dodge developed shifting problems. I pulled the stick and found what looked like strawberry malt running about six inches
above the full level. Yes sir, H2O in the tranny. Got lucky, I hope, and had it rebuilt in Ensenada for 900 bucks, all inclusive with a one year
guarantee.

Water came from a stock tranny fluid cooler mounted to the side of the block, the only place where water and fluid get close to each other.
I bypassed that cooler as I have two others and after going to the dealer, the cooler is unavailable. If I ever need to replace it, I can go to
Cummins Cal Pacific in El Cajon, and hope they have one.

Yeah, well, we ain't towing tents.......
Sorry for the Dodge diversion earlier........but I am a PSD owner. Just facing facts. It's a better ENGINE.
You guys that might replace the lift pump in your Cummins....check for aftermarket lift pumps. I dont believe you have to mount it in the tank.
What genius thought of putting a fuel pump inside the tank inf the first place! Gotta drain/drop the tank, skid plates, electrical in the tank, etc. Made to order for dealer repairs.
Make mine a rail mount.

why doesn't Volvo make a 4wd truck? Their marine diesel
engines and drivetrains seem to be top notch.

Until you have to replace ANYTHING. Then you're too broke to take it anywhere.

For all you Ford Diesel folks, this is the best web site:
http://www.thedieselstop.com
Go to forums.
That was a cam positioning sensor. You can pick one up one eBay for $50. Carry a spare & 10m wrench in glove box. You might want to look for fuel
drain problems. The drain valve on '99 & '00 Fords are leaking. Two little o-rings are going bad a lot since fuel change. Big puddles of diesel
under your truck.
Check out that web site- saved my bacon a few times now !

Volvo bakes lots of 4X4s and other medium and heavy duty trucks. check the Internet. they are one of the largest makers of trucks in the world.
