ses light on
I am working on buying a 2001 f-250. The ses light is on and it has no power.Is there a code scanner that I can buy at a local parts store that will read the codes on a 7.3L without spending more than 150$? I don't even know if the ses light is what comes on if something is wrong. Do the diesel trucks have a check engine light? someone please help me I'm all new to the diesel world.

It is refered to as a MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lanp) this week any way. Some autozones have scanners that will read our trucks most do not since they are outside ODB II weight requirements. Make sure the scanner can read enhanced code packages.
What do you mean when you say "No Power" is it like the truck wont get out of its own way?

just a couple of things to check before you get the codes would be, Blown intercooler boots, restricted exhaust (Crushed or clogged pipe), dusted turbo, engine oil level (also last change), if you jack up the rear end and put it in nuetral will the tires rotate by hand?

yeah the wheels will turn in nuetral or with the clutch pressed. everyone I talked to thinks it has something to do with the fuel system.

It could be fuel deffinately check the filter and bowl for trash. I was just starting off with some of the visual inspection items that will kill power. but there are alot of sensors that can also do this
