99 F550 fuel problem!?!?!?

Back again. We have this truck and all of a sudden it started acting funny like it was missing or fuel inj problem. So we changed the fuel filter didn't work, dropped the tank and cleaned the screens on the sending unit and cleansed it. Fuel pressure in and out of the fuel bowl is at 55 or a little above like 56-57. The service engine soon light comes on but nothing comes up on the reader. I am lost for what it would be. Has anyone ever had this or heard of it? The motor is 7.3 diesel. Thanks a bunch everyone again..

You need a high end scan tool like AE or a snap-on. Standard code readers will not communicate with the 7.3.

You need to take it to a diesel shop and have the codes pulled. That will point you/us in the right direction. Without pulling the codes there's no way of fixing it without wasting money throwing parts at it.
