Mine's been fine since the CAC was changed. It's done it once or twice since but not like clockwork on the humid / rainy days. I haven't noticed any performance dropoff either. Actually mine's been getting good MPG lately...

Hi John, what did your 7.3 die of? I didn't think they could be killed.

Don't know. I parked it after I got my 08. I would drive it on the weekends and it would be OK. It always ran rough when cold. Needs injectors or possibly an HPOP.

It's sat for about a month and will not fire up. It'll roll over fine with hot batteries, but just doesn't want to light.

Now that I have another truck to drive I'll probably put the injectors in it myself. After that I'll either sell it or maybe drive it again for work when I go in the field.... I'd like to keep my new (to me) truck in like new condition...

better but not totally corrected

had mine changed out in May or so and the problem is better. Before i could drive in real humid or raining conditions and in 30 min it would sputter and smoke like crazy. Now i go twice as long and its about the same or even a little better. So overall its better but problem still persist.
