something kinda doesnt sound right. you have the ability and ambition to take the engine out, and be able to run it out of the truck, but you dont have a code reader or know where to buy one.
what gives?

He's on Dyess AFB, TX. FULL auto-shop with pretty much any tool, and guys that work there that usually know everything. Well, any tool but Ford diesel code readers, obviously. When I was on Tyndall back in '07, I LOVED going to the auto shop. I also frequented the one on base when I was overseas.

that sounds freakin awesome. research a code reader or maybe someone will pipe in. then your set. its probably just a unhooked sensor or something. let us know how it goes. without a code your just left to recheck all the sensors etc.
id put it back in and see what it doe s then.
