i have a 97 f-350 7.3 ,i will not start. it was 40 degrees,and it started and then running for 5 min., and then stalled out. it will not start,no check engine light

 

well evil we need to know more about your situation. Does the truck turn over when trying to start? Does the wts light (wait to start) come on? does the tach move when trying to start? Is there any smoke while trying to start? Give us some more info and we can probably help ya out as to what is wrong. Just be patient and we'll help ya out as much as possible.

 

sounds to me like your HPOP. have you checked your oil lately? has it been changed lately?

open your HPOP and see if you can see any oil, should be no less than an inch or so from the top. go ahead and top it off with whatever oil you use. DO NOT lose the plug, lol
