What issue could it be?
Ok so I'm going to look at a 7.3 tomorrow and got a question before I go and look.
In the craiglist ad, the owner states that since he has installed a DP-tuner, the truck will shut off as if it's running out of fuel when it gets below a half tank and has to fill it up.
Here's the link to the ad: 2000 F250 7.3 Powerstroke Diesel
I'm thinking it may be time for the hutch mod or something wrong with the chip, or a fuel problem. I just don't know.
What do you guys think?

"or take the chip out" I don't understand but it sounds like the "duck bill" has came off the pick-up, its above the screens in the tank. mine was off and it would run out between 1/4 and 1/2 tank..

This "duck bill" thing. What could be the fix for this. Hutch mod?
I wonder if the truck re-starts after it randomly shuts off.

Yeah, sounds about right. Thanks
Hope it's just that and not something the owner did with the chip and screwed up something else. We'll see.
