Just Bought my first Powerstroke. A 94 7.3 4x4
regular cab, long bed. 212,000miles Off the bat noticed a strong fuel smell in cab. . . Did the research and am already planning on re sealing the fuel filter housing. This morning 29° f started right up, but noticed a knock that I diddnt hear before. Read up, injector possibly. . Looking into “hot shots” fuel and oil additive. To help clean things out.
Besides that I will be taking it into a diesel mechanic that was referred to me sometime in the next week or so. Need an alignment due to driver bad toe wear.
Any advice before I take it to a mech? Or any at all would be greatly appreciated.
Btw: I’m somewhat mechanically inclined and would like to do my own repairs. With YouTube, forums and the internet I’m confident I can accomplish most jobs.
