Sensor?
I have a 1999 F-250 Ford Diesel. I live on the MS Gulf Coast the tempature and humidity is usually pretty hot but when it gets below 50 degrees the truck will not run worth a crap. Even when the truck warms up it does not change the performance, but when the actual weather warms up it will run fine. I want to think its some type of sensor but I really just don't know. If anyone has an idea please let me know what it might be.

We need a little more info on the truck and what the definition of (will not run worth a crap) means? Is it lack of power, or seems to miss? Hard to know what is happening from what you wrote. Do you have any mods?

Lack of power, you actually have to let off the accelarater for it to shift gears. It is automatic transmission.

Welcome to FTE tannebi and vlbroome95.
Good quality fuel, clean full oil, and filters that are in good shape are important. If you want to find a bad sensor, you really need to get the truck on a scanner. Otherwise you'll just end up throwing parts at it. Stay away form the auto parts stores free scans, they won't work on our trucks. You need a shop to scan it for you and run a couple of tests with the scanner to try and trip any other codes.
That is unless you can find someone near you that has a scanner that will check it out for you.
