Sluggish when starting out:
Hello, I have a 2002 Ford F350 with the 7.3L Powerstroke diesel, 70,000 miles. The problem I'm having is that is seems to be sluggish starting out. I have changed the fuel filter and I changed the air filter with a fram. It is a five speed with overdrive and once it is up to speed it is fine even when pulling a load. I can smell the clutch burning from time to time, but it doesn't seem to slip. Any response is very much appreciated. Thanks Joe
