Crank but no start problem
ok I have a new problem.
My 1995 F350 four door 4x4 Powerstroke is a nice looking truck and I get compliments all the time and offers to buy it, but I love my truck and always say no.
Now I'm about ready to kill it and dismantle it and sell the parts to buy a gas powered truck.
My truck has always ran perfect and has never been abused.
I came out the next day to go to town and when I went to start the truck it tried for about a second to start but died.
I tried to crank it over again andvI got some smoke out of the tailpipe but did not start.
I tried again and it would not start, but this time there wa no smoke at all from the tailpipe.
I looked in the fuel bowl and it was full.
Someone suggested replacing the CPS.
So I did replace it along with the fuel bowl filter.
When I replaced the fuel bowl filter, I found that the fuel bowl heater was broke, so I put in a new fuel bowl heater and replaced the fuse.
The truck still would not start and still no smoke from the tailpipe while cranking.
I even replaced the Glow Plug Relay, still nothing.
Someone came out and ohmed my glow plugs and said i had a bad one, so i went ahead and replaced all of them on that side of the motor since i had it opened.
I also replaced the short fuel lines from the fuel pick up pump to the fuel bowl.
Still no start and no smoke from the tail pipe.
I am getting so frustrated.
I am disabled and on a fixed income, so I cant afford a ton of money to keep dumping cash into parts that dont fix the problem.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I wish I had a shop near me that could fix my truck and let me pay $200 a month, thats what I can afford.
I live out in Timber, Oregon.

Hi, welcome to the forum.
Download the No Start Flowchart from the FAQ sticky and work your way through it. Some of the boxes in the chart are links that will take you to explanations of what to do. Ask more questions as you go. There's also a lot more good information in the FAQ.

Throwing parts at these trucks gets expensive fast and complicates the troubleshooting. Not recommended.
When the chart says to check the fuel pressure you can use a tire gauge if you don't have a fuel pressure gauge. It trashes the tire gauge but it works

When do you guys switch to winter blend Diesel? Had the thing been sitting for a while? I had my MB 300SDL gel up once...cranked hard and would not start!
How old are your batteries and the starter? Mine has just enough *** to start on one fresh battery and a new Denso starter. Tired starters do not help these spin up quick enough. It used to be quite hard to start mine in temps as high as the low 50F area with the old starter and fresh batteries. Not sure if it would even start below freezing with the old one.
Lots of guys like the late 7.3 Super Duty starters as they can be picked up at your local auto stores. I am crazy so I went for that Denso monster.
