Disconnected both. And tested each with meter. Both over 12.. then went to orileys and disconnected both and bench tested. Both checked out. Gonna look more in baro. Inspected last night and seemed clean but doesn't mean much. Just not sure if torque pro even reads baro yet

My Torque Pro reads Baro, not sure why yours wouldn't.

Hopefully the "bench test" means that OReilly's load tested each.

Check the ground connections (frame, engine, etc).

Test the alternator.

Just looked up the price of a Motorcraft Baro - it is expensive!

Looking for cheaper options ...........

Also - It hit me that some custom tunes mess w/ the Baro reading. Are you tuned? If so, what tune?

At your overnight temps, the volts you spec'd are low, although those of us without Military grade batteries like Mark has will see volts that low even with good batteries in winter.

Do you know the size of the batts and what they tested to? Here's a picture of a battery I just tested for a video where it still reports as good but is very much hurt. Powerstroke 6.0s tug a lot of energy out of batteries more then other motors.



You're reporting volts in whole numbers, as though 12 is fine, but it's not. Tenths matter with batteries and a battery that reports 12.2v rather then 12.6v can be a really hurt battery. However, still not sure your problem is glow plug related.

Edit - posted this before seeing your previous one

Found a cheaper solution:

2003 FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY 6.0L V8 DIESEL Turbocharged Manifold Pressure (MAP) Sensor | RockAuto

At the bottom is an AirTex Baro sensor that is cheaper

Only downside is wait time. Truck is daily driver:/. Got a buddy at auto parts store. So might be able to slip one on,run torque pro and see if anything changes. I'm assuming your talking about the 81$ one?

Before dropping the bucks, you are sure the wiring looks good?

Also might get the codes read at the auto parts store. The Baro sensor being out might throw a code (but it may be that the code feature is on later year models).

Glow plugs should show a code as well.
