2000 F350 Diesel - Glow Plugs and a Hard Start Issue, Part 2

Today I continue to diagnose a hard start issue with the F350 7.3L diesel. Two bad glow plugs so far.

I had hard start issues, the Injector pressure regulator on the back of the fuel bowl was clogged of dirty oil, I took it totally apart and cleaned it, started fine without plugging in in minus 25*C. These also has fuel and air warmers, so theres no lack of heat to start these.

@Richardgitrdone This truck has/had multiple issues, bad glow plugs, sticky injectors, probably bad fuel. I've got to get back to it so it's finally on the road.

If you have not already seen the videos on YT from 'powerstrokehelp' then you will be amazed at all the technical detail he goes into on these engines. I've watched all of his videos (way over 50 I think) and it's some of the very best mechanical tutorials on YT. (And I don't even have a powerstroke!) He definitely touches on some of your issues in a few videos. Thanks for posting your video! I have a 7.3 IDI and a 12 valve Cummins, but like the 7.3 Powerstroke too. Good luck with your truck!

@maxhauler I've watched a couple, I'll have a look for any he has on the hard start issue.

Hey wreckingyard, good videos, really like your channel. You should cover the mic on the camera with a tissue so it doesn't pick up the wind so much, just a friendly tip.
