Hutch mod question
Do all the super duties {99-03} suffer from the same problems our 7.3 suffer from?
My neighbor just got a 2001,non-diesel v8. Yesterday he let it go below a 1/4 tank and he said it started to run rough and he kept driving. After it got to about an 1/8 he said it would not go above 10mph but after he put 60 in the tank it ran great again. I was telling him of the hutch mod and he thinks it would just apply to diesels and I think it applies to all the super duties.
Help me out here.. If his truck does need the hutch mod would it be the same as our trucks?
Thanks

that was my thought
I had a look under his rig and it looks the same as mine, being the pump is in the same location and the lines all look the same. SO my thinking was that they are same except motor.

Pickup feet and such things can fall off inside any fuel tank - so he may need to drop the tank and look around. He may not have to worry as much about doing the mod, per se, as simply checking to see that the factory parts are intact and not clogged. I don't think gas trucks have the fuel aeration problem that diesels do.

I've changed a fuel pump in an all-stock '99 F-250, and that truck had it inside the tank. I am not aware of a design change for later years.
Beware of the "two-speed pump" electrical design in these. It may throw off your troubleshooting if you don't know about it.
