it literally..

....never ends... egr, egr cooler,heads,all filters, oil cooler, pretty much everything is new...


have not drove the truck in like 3 days... its chilly, but not cold.. like -2 max..

go to start it... just cranks... alright the batteries are old. and whatever, replace them, still nothing, just cranksss all day long.

so the last thing i did to it... a week ago. oil change. coolant filter, and had the newest flash done to it.

drove it home and then the next day, not an issue...

Reading this: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/8...condition.html

12- oil pressure gauge reads pressure

16- not sure what that is... could be possible..

18-possible....

20- also possible...

21- how do i check?

check the bottom filter first, then the top. if its gelling it needs a warm garage and some fuel treatment, preferably 911 variety and some new winter fuel to mix it up. A shop and a few heaters blowing on the bottom will do it. Of course once outside it will gell up again so the fuel treatment and a 5 gallon can of winter fuel to mix it up would be wise. You might also, if this isnt it, check your oil filter is in right and enough oil?

I am going to be tough on you ......... so sorry in advance.

Why don't you post up the year model of your truck and any mods. This info really helps.

I wrote the no-start thread and I don't even want to help a lot when you write a thread like this. Don't make people that are willing to help you have to go back and research something else. Why don't you do all the leg work - post up the proper details for them? Probably only I know what 12, 16, 18, 20, 21, etc mean without going back and looking.

Have you checked fuses?
Do you have any codes?
Have you checked for oil flow at the filter?
Have you checked for fuel flow at the upper filter?
Have you checked FICM voltages?
ICP sensor apperance? Have you tried disconnecting it?

Winter diesel is a specific blend for MOST parts of the US. It is formulated to not gell up.

That's interesting. I rarely hear about a bad cam position sensor. I have had to replace the o rings on it a few times, but not the sensor.

I have noticed that as well, here in the 6.0 forum. In the 7.3 group, the CPS is probably the most commonly reported problem. Most owners carry a spare and a 10mm wrench in the glove compartment.

Why is the CPS more reliable in the 6.0 application?
