95 7.3 won't start
I drove this truck about ten days ago and it ran great, no issues. Tried to start it today ...Nothing, I feel there is no fuel. WTS light cycles and it cranks over really good, 75 degrees out side, no smoke of any color and the tach doesn't bounce. I put in a fresh fuel filter and the oil is full with good vis. I have owned truck for ten years, done the crank sensor (6 yrs ago) done the injector harnesses ( 5 yrs ago) Don't drive it much at all ,fishing and camping. Of course need it to pull trailer to lake this week. Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
SPOON

cps again is my guess. No tach movement is a sign. Not a surprise. 6 years is pretty good. Get it from ford or ih.

welcome to fte by the way.

Any way to check it for dummies? They are like everything else on these trucks right ? You sign over your first born?

No real way to check it. Not spendy on this, 25 bucks at ford or ih. Just as well buy 2, you'll need another one at a bad time. I've got 2 in my glovebox..
