97 7.3 overamping?
My 97 350 seemed to run out of fuel the other day. Tank selection didn't matter - would run 15-20 seconds then quit. I finnally noticed that when I charge the batteries, it'll run....
Noticed then that the alt (new in May) was so hot after 5 min of idling you couldn't touch it. Replaced it, and new one does the same thing. Actually slows the engine when the alt plugged in; something pulling that much load. Pulled all fuses and relays that kept engine running - no change.
Any ideas? GLow plugs maybe?

Thanks - will try that
