Began doing this on sunday and just finished up last night. Truck starts and runs for a bit then stalls. Here is what I did in this order:

1.) Washed truck sundday with purple power and a garden hose. I washed the wheel wells frame and underside, but DID NOT wash the engine at all.
2.) Painted the frame and wheel wells with black paint.
3.) Applied 1/2 gallon or so of fluid film all over the bottom of the truck everywhere I can. Again NOT the engine bay.

Any idea where to start. When it stalled, I can restart eevery time by waiting 3-5 minutes. It was 13 degrees F last night, so i suspect fuel lines may be freezing but not sure.

 

Check your FDM module, it maybe all frozen.

 

What is the FDM module?

 

FDM is Fuel Delivery Module. It is located under the bed on the rail close to the spare tire.

 

I am forever in your debt guys......the FDM rotted off the crossmemebr was was laying on top of the tire. It was filled with grit, water, fluid film, and who knows what else.

How can a formal complaint be made, like how all the people complained about the fuel tank straps on the older trucks? This design makes me think of general motors, not ford. This is disgusting.

 

Ha ha.. You own me nothing. It's the power of the internet. We all have to learn it one time or another. But, glad you've found the culprit.
