2001 7.3L is having 'chugging' problems when the rpm's drop back down to idle position after going 60 mph for 15 miles or so. Almost feels like its starving for fuel... I shut it off and fire it right back up and the problems is fixed until I travel at high speeds again. Also has died twice on me while its been running in idle park position. Any insight on possible causes would be greatly appreciated!

 

The first thing I would recommend if you have t done it lately is change the fuel filter

 

Yea that's whatim thinkin. Calling around for prices right now. Appreciate the reply! Will update when I know more info

 

mine wasn't quite chugging but it was noticeably down on power. i had been running...um...fuel out of the deere. i replaced the filter on top but only a marginal improvement. then remembered some kind of "hutch mod" pick up pipe screen thing- i obviously i haven't the slightest idea what that is- but i remembered the part about the multiple screens. i cleaned them. much better now.


this doesn't cost a thing but- time
