Truck Died
Hi Everyone,
After 6 years of faithful service and no breakdowns I got one today.
Have early 1999 F250 PSD 7.3 Auto. No mods.
Started truck this morning. Drove 1 mile, started to excellerate, "pop", then engine shuts off.
Turn off ignition, turn back on to start, engine spins good, but "No Start".
Turn off ignition, turn back on, no "Wait to start lamp", no "Check Engine
Lamp"
Turn ignition off, hookup OBD reader to data link, turn ignition on to read DTCs "No Link"
Having truck towed to house, breaking out tools. Anyone have any ideas or experienced this problem? Any and all input is appreciated.
Thanks
Jeff

Fuse
very good chance that fuse is going to blow again, typically it is the fuel bowl heater shorting out that causes it. You may want to unplug your fuel bowl heater if it happens again, then replace fuse. Can replace the heater or delete it later.

If the fuse popped once, I would bet it will again until you find the cause, either now or broke down on the road somewhere.

Update II
Yes, all of you that said I'd get another blown fuse are correct. Started the truck this morning, warming up and then it shut down. Didn't have to look for the problem today, have a spare F150 to drive around.
Tomorrow I'll check out the fuel heater. I did rebuild the fuel bowl last spring with parts from Guzzel. if I disconnect the fuel bowl now, the temps are warmer but when winter arrives again in Northern Nevada, shouldn't the bowl heater be hooked up? Has anyone figured out what causes the fuse to blow? I'd like to know.
Glad this problem happened at home instead of on a road trip with either the camper or horse trailer.
Thanks again for all the support and input.

Glad that was the problem, Im glad it was nothing major wrong with your truck. When you said the OBDII port had no power I thought fuse. That fuse powers the PCM I believe and thats why your truck would turn over but not start.

Have you used this OBD reader on your truck before? Most 'Standard' readers will not read codes on our trucks.

To the OP...Brother Les does bring up a good point. Most standard code readers won't work too well on the diesel models. You might be able to get high level codes such as P1316 but you may not be able to get any of the more detailed information. It all depends on what you are using.
